One of the most important artistical phonomenon of the 70's , The Doors was founded in 1965 after a UCLA student's meeting. James Douglas Morrison , John Densmore ,Robby Krieger and Ray Manzarek quickly took over the spotlight in America's psychedelic rock billboards. In this formula, they begun to perform in numerous clubs, starting with London Fog on Sunset Strip(well-known area in western L.A. famous for the night life).The band took its name after a a book written by Aldous Huxley called 'The doors of perception', which was also inspired from the lyrics of the 18th century poet,William Blake :
"If the doors of perception were cleansed , every thing would appear to man as it is, infinite."
The central and the most controversial band member, Jim Morrison forced the ownsers of the Wiskey Go-Go night club to ban them after an excentric performance of 'The end'. But that event only added to his allready notorious bad-boy image and helped him become a major US sex-symbol.
For the fans of 'The Doors' , their lyrics were full of social,psycological and political references, written by no other than The Lizard King, Jim Morrison.
In 1971, after recording 'LA Woman' , Morrison decided to take a break and moved to Paris, where he died in misterious circumstances on the third of july. Found in the bath tub of his apartment, it was concluded that a heart attack was the most likely cause of his early decease,although an autopsy was never performed.
