If you scream, "Viva la Doors!" loud enough for your landlord to start thumpin' on the walls, then you might in fact be a Doors fan.

There's one way to know for absolute sure. Get an eight-track tape of LA Woman -there's only a few in existence- and steal a car. Even if you own one, steal a car. Get in that car, play the tape, full blast, and drive West. When the tape ends, get out, and go to the nearest bar, and start to play pool, or pinbball, or possibly even foosball, and wait to get into a fight. Afterwards, get back into that car, and drive till it runs out of gas. Then, torch it. And if, as you're standing there, watching those flames, if you can still hear the Doors sound, you will have become a Doors fan.

Try to set my farts on....fiiiiirrrrreeeeee

My friends and I used to sing that when we were teenagers because...well, we were teenagers (in the '90s, you bastards...we still listened to it then.) Unfortunately, I will forever hear the "farts on fire" lyrics rather than the actual ones until the day I die.

You know that it could be a poo
You know a loaf could aspire
If I was to hit the loo
And try to set my farts on fire...yeah!
C'mon set my farts on fire....

He's dreamy.

wait, what?

I are jealous Funkestein. This are jealous post.

/wasn't born until the late '70s
//still have all my Dad's LPs...love 'em
///Bobby Krieger's funky solo from Light My Fire (as well as the awesomeness that is Love Me Two Times) and Hendrix Live at Winterland (pretty much all of it) is why I picked up a guitar as a kid

What do you mean, would have been? He lives, man.

overrated.

Bozo Dionysus in action. yay

Just love them.

There's nothing like dieing to boost your career to heights that would never have been reached if you were still alive.

Song is full of fail without the long trippy solos.

/dig it, man

While I love Jim Morrison and the doors I do not think they would have survived through the 70s and 80s mainly because they couldn't have reinvented themselves.

I know people love to slam the Doors. I, for one, am not a Doors slammer.

Late 70's, UMO...Doors parties...reef, beer, and Spacey's. Good times.

I like the Doors, but yes, Morrison is overrated. The band is always spot on though.

He would have been Bono if he didn't die.

No where did I say that I don't enjoy an occassional doors tune. I just think that the Poet Laureate of rock bon mots that get tossed at Morisson are BS. They had a few good songs but only Morissons death vaulted them into rock royalty.

no. morrison was way too self deprecating instead of a self aggrandizing douchebag that deflects his narcissism on charities.

No, you're wrong. Morrison is absolutely overrated. The Doors had plenty of good tunes but the music is what elevates the band, not Jimmy's often inexplicable and incoherent ranting and wailing.

/I know, I am from those times
//they were a good band but not gods
///kinda like The Beatles in that sense

Jim was my 10th grade God. That was in 1984 and man do I feel old tonight.

Beautiful!

Love Morrison: great crooner with a bluesy voice. Happy Birthday Mr. Mojo Risin'.

I'm not here to argue whether or not they were a great band in a technical sense but it must be admitted that they are farking awesome!

Jim Morrison is overrated as a lyricist, underrated as a singer.

/listened to "Moonlight Drive" in his honor today

FlashHarry: great baritone lounge singer. worst. lyricist. evar.

I think Hendrix or Sting could give him a run for the money in the Worst Lyricist Category.

FreeLoveFreeway: He would have been Bono if he didn't die.

Holy shiat, Bono died??? When did that happen?

Have any of you questioning Jim Morrison's songwriting ability listened to The Soft Parade, where Krieger wrote half the songs? Did you prefer that album?
