I THINK THE DOORS SUCK!!!

OKAY, i wanted a really hot button title so people would look at this. I dont like the Doors one bit. Now i don't think they are bad musicians or anything like that, but i think they are sooo grossly overrated. Everyone treats Jim Morrison like some Christ like Poet Laurette that just knew it all. Jesus christ, he was a guy that used imagery in his lyrics and did a bunch of drugs. And as for the rest of the band, Kreiger and Manzerik are money whores, i.e. "doors of the 21 first century" even stewert copeland realized how shit they were. im sorry but im just so sick of everyone blowing their load over this band everytime they are mentioned, they weren't that great. Blender put them on their 50 worst bands ever so at least someone else has my back,

and one more thing, i hate jaded ass people that write off all modern music as "good, but never as good as the 60's man" the worst is when they weren't even alive to see the 60's bands live. I understand that people will always have attachments to the music they grew up on, but to be so close minded about anything else drives me up the wall. and just so you know that i don't hate all non modern music, i love gershwin, louie armstrong and the hot fives, the stones, the kinks, lots of motown and old funk and johnny cash, and a bit of tom jones too. So to the 17 year old that has a beatles boner and the old 45 year old with the grey ponytail hanging out of the back of his baseball cap with his fleetwood mac shirt tucked into his jeans, quit being a dick and open up to possibilites

Man The Doors totally sound like The White Stripes.......

heh, that mad e me laugh, thanks.

man, the doors are one of my oldschool favs. they were to outrageous for woodstock!!! Im no old hippie, but when I was 14, I was bigtime hippie wannabe! 11 years later, I am still a doors fan, tho its not an everyday addiction... although if any of yall who dont like em have cds of em, send em my way!!!

I love the way the white stripes sound to! TOTOALLY ANALOG!!!

....couldnt stop myself

Preach on, brother.

I too can't stand the dorks, oops, I mean Doors.

nothing is perfect. i like the doors, but im a bigger fan of jim than the entire band. but i also wish they never did anything using the name without morrison. but i also wish jim didnt rely on the drugs and die early. maybe he wouldnt have done what he did without it, and maybe he wasnt original at all but just an idol who regurgitated what he had read. either way, it worked for me. he has been an inspiration for me, as i looked into him and his words when i was pretty damn depressed. maybe thats the only reason i like him and the band, as it has personal meaning for me. but youve also gotta wonder how many current artists have been inspired by him and them too.

leave your house and do some drugs

I never cared for them, but Jim Morrison definitely influenced some artists I like a lot, like Patti Smith and Iggy Pop....

They were better with David Lee Roth.

yes.

My friend, EVERYTHING is better with David Lee Roth.

I thought Jim was alot better when he called himself Glenn Danzig.

jim morrison = overrated angsty poet-boy drunk.

robby krieger, the guitar player, was pretty good, though.

when i was seventeen, i got a tattoo that says, "no one here gets out alive" on my back.

it's a neat tattoo, but i think i want to get it covered up.

Yes, and Scott Stapp from Creed.

Damn you, Jim!!!

well i'm glad someone said it. i too dislike the doors.

Uh oh! Looks like someone didn't take their medication this morning!

No need to get such a big hard on for the subject. Everyone has their own views, and if you don't like 'em, fuck 'em. But that doesn't make you right and someone else wrong. BTW, I'm not being an ass, but there's just no need to get so worked up about it. It looks like you're going to bust a vein in your forehead while writing that. Much love.

so they both suck

that song 7 nation army
and people say eletronic music is repeative

Um...not to be mean or anything (I would NEVER do that)...but if you don't at least like The Doors a little, you don't understand rock 'n' roll. Same goes for all of the following:

- Elvis
- Chuck Berry
- The Beatles
- Bob Dylan
- The Rolling Stones
- The Who
- The Kinks
- The Byrds
- The Beach Boys

There are obviously others, but anyone starting any thread saying any of the above "suck" is ignorant and should be ignored.

You know, as much as I hate to admit it, I agree with souljacker on this one. Just because you don't like a particular band, don't foist your opinions on the rest of us. Whether or not you think "so and so" sucks, doesn't mean there's about a kajillion of us out there who don't think they were at least important to the history of modern music.

Oh, and by the way- if this thread has said "I THINK THE WHO SUCK!!!", I woulda ripped your head off and shit down your stump. Thank you.

Meh. He was just trolling, hoping to get an inflammatory response. I actually like when people are able to articulate why they don't like a band, but to just say "_____ suck" pisses me off.

The Doors in my opinion started off strong, and then Jim's ego rapidly got ahead of his ability. The song "The End" is more than enough to justify their existence.

And the question of whether Jim Morrison was a "poet" or not provides a convenient lithmus test to discover whether someone is an idiot or not.

As much as I hate to admit it, I agree with MisterSatan on the above...

THE WHO RULES!!!

(just teasing...I uh...ALWAYS agree with MisterSatan!)
