The Doors (1967)
[T]he Doors' 1967 self-titled debut would soon make the band immortal, thanks to songs like "Break on Through (to the Other Side)," "The End" and the immortal "Light My Fire."
Fresh from their gig as the house band at the Sunset Strip's Whisky a Go Go – where they were fired for performing a profanity-laced riff on Oedipus Rex during "The End" – poet/vocalist Jim Morrison, keyboardist Ray Manzarek, guitarist Robby Krieger and drummer John Densmore spent a week at Sunset Sound Recorders documenting the act that had vaulted them to the top of the Los Angeles scene in less than a year.
"The first album is basically the Doors live," Manzarek says in the documentary Classic Albums: The Doors. "There are very few overdubs. It's 'The Doors: Live from the Whisky a Go Go' ... except in a recording studio."
The Doors captured for eternity the raw, vital, hypnotic excitement of four fearless artists. In honor of the album's 50th anniversary, here are 10 little-known facts about the record's conception and reception. http://www.rollingstone.com/music/features/doors-debut-album-10-things-you-didnt-know-w458833
Dropped alot of acid and eat many shrooms to old Mr Morrison back in HS. lol
'the hustler' is one of my favorite movies of all time. I love shooting pool and I'm a big Paul Newman fan. anyway, theres a scene in 'the color of money' where fast eddie felson gets hustled, and this plays in the backround.
