Weren't The Doors (1 Viewer)

[dudley]

an awful pile of auld shite altogether?

 

[avernus]

no way! I freakin love the Doors.

though Morrison's poetry was.

 

[dudley]

hmm, dissent already.
this could become the longest thread in thumped history.

 

[RED(tape)MENACE]

Yeah, they was bollox.

 

[Vinnie]

Possibly the worst band in history

 

[Mormon Nailer]

Dreadful shite.

 

[Anthony]

hardly the worst. I mean, The Verve existed.

 

[dudley]

been thinking about this a lot recently and was wondering was my revulsion unfair, so downloaded the back catalogue. nearly had to fuck the computer out the window after 5 minutes

They're great when you're aged 12-14.

"I am for a pluralistic, polymorphous culture. No hierarchy, then? Certainly there's a hierarchy. If I had to choose between The Doors and Dostoyevsky, then -- of course -- I'd choose Dostoyevsky. But do I have to choose?"

[7 - No tomorrow]

They're great when you're aged 12-14.

And if you read No One Here Gets Out Alive constantly and hate your parents.

we had this thread before and chickenham pointed out that jim morrison invented the idea of the antagonistic, adversarial lead singer

or... no jim: no iggy, johnny, sid, g.g., henry, and a million others

but they were pretty crap alright

My house mate adores them. He has a big framed hippy picture of Jim Morrison over his bed and whenever he's had a few too many he gets the fucking DVDs out and put's them on and starts trying to tell us why they're amazing. As far as I can see it's just some drunk fool rambling over some solos that are about 25 minutes too long.

 

[Froog]

sludge lyrics and all that, but the music is okay.

 

[Goodbye]

I think everyone goes through a brief teen phase that passes, if it stays with you, then you got problems.

Still, I cant imagine Apocalypse Now without The End

 

[ernesto]

they had some great songs but mostly, yep, they were shit. annoying fucking vocals (nice voice though) shitty keyboards and wanky melodies.
and jim was a fuckin tit.

 

[dAndAn]

Terrible shite.

Had a housemate that would blare their shit when he came in locked. Oh how he rocked out to The Doors.

He's dead now.

 

[Anthony]

great song

I listened to them loads in my teens. Hadn't in years, but then recently watched the Oliver Stone movie again and got back into them. Some of their songs are ace. There's plenty of junk too, but on the whole I think they're great. Songs like The End, Break on through, Five to One, Love Street, Spanish Caravan, Light My Fire, Riders on The Storm, Indian Summer. Yeah fuck you guys! I hate you all and my parents! Agh!!! etc.

 

[Franco]

They had a batch of good tunes, but if you don't get into them as a young 'un, you'll probably consider them bloated, pompous shite.

I haven't listened to them in years, but i have an affection for them.

Ray Manzarek's autobiography is woeful dreck.
