Guy’s like 75, what do you expect?I don't expect people to get defensive because I ask what they think of his playing
surely it's not unusual for older musicians to play really well, sometimes I think Neil Young has never played better than he does now
anyway, I think there's something very off about how the amazingly talented composer all-time guitar hero Robby Krieger is playing in that video, and I was asking if anyone might enlighten me on what it is that I'm hearing
― niels, Wednesday, 25 April 2018 07:24 (six years ago) link
It looks like he's being filmed at a soundcheck tbh, who can be arsed playing at those?

Ask and Ye Shall Receive
The Albums That Never Were version is one of the reasons I made this one actually, I felt it still wasn't as good as it could be. I hate Wintertime Love with a passion so I'm a little biased though, haha.

I always thought that opening chord from Peace Frog was a 7th...but he played a straight major barre chord as far as I could tell.

“The Doors” was the answer to this coffee shop’s trivia question and I got 10 cents off my order for getting it right. I started explaining to the barista that Jim was a shaman of the highest order and she gave me a dollar to go away.— Jon Wurster (@jonwurster) May 6, 2018

the Kids in the Hall skit is all-time. elevates the Doors to PINK FLOYD RULES status.
my only problem is first seeing it censored while all the copies floating around seem to be uncensored. it's way funnier when he says "You know who told me? JIM *BEEP*ing Morrison told me!"

uh, I have absolutely no idea. Converted the .wavs to .mp3 for you guys and this is what I get. Let me try to fix this a third time - maybe everyone who wants to hear this should just call me on a pay phone and I'll hum my version to you.

alright I re-upped new files, everything sounds right on my end, let's see if it actually works, haha. Apologies for all the mixed-up confusion.

After decades of research I haven't found a better song for driving with the windows down than "LA Woman"
― Sam Weller, Thursday, 28 June 2018 11:08 (five years ago) link
But is is also the best song for the people outside? We probably have to distinguish there between pedestrians, bikers, motor bikers and other cars with windows down or cabriolets. Another very important parameter, the volume. I guess you mean the best song to listen to when driving with the windows down on full volume, right?

It may be the ridiculous summer we're having, but Morrison Hotel is doing weird things to me - particularly Waiting for the Sun, The Spy and (natch) Indian Summer.

I used to think they were painfully overrated and hadn't aged as well as some other '60s bands, but a couple of years ago I gave it all another try and I found myself enjoying quite a lot of it. I guess they're easier to enjoy now that a lot of the "Cult of Jim" lot have fucked off.
― Le Baton Rose (Turrican), Sunday, 12 August 2018 21:06 (five years ago) link
I think they've gone through phases of being overrated and underrated, they're about due to be overrated again.
