I really enjoyed Johns writing style which was partly talking to Jim; partly to the reader and partly to himself. There were a lot of great "behind the scenes" type stories which were totally eye opening. John reveals his true feelings toward the band; the business and his relationships and just tells it the way it is/was. I couldnt put this book down it was so engrossing. I thoroughly enjoyed it. If you love the Doors as i do youll enjoy Johns story. I highly recommend "Riders on the Storm".4 of 5 people found the following review helpful. Interesting interior look at the DoorsBy Victor MarkI had intended to place this book onto my wish list for later ordering; but then accidentally clicked on one-click ordering instead. Oh well. The book arrived; as usual; within a few days.I was glad it did. I found it for the most part very absorbing; describing mainly Densmores 6 years while the Doors were a force with Jim Morrison. The book got off to a slow start; using retrospective imagined conversations with Morrison that sprinkle the book; which I mainly found tedious. However; if one is patient; one gets into Densmores conservative Catholic childhood; passion not only for drumming; but many different drum styles; which he brought to the enrichment of the Doors recordings (and for which he deservedly received co-author credit).The Doors start out exciting; Densmore is enamored of this initially shy poet who could improvise lyrics in the studio; and later on stage. How "The End" evolved is especially engrossing. (I mean; who other than Jim Morrison could make this kind of thing up? In 1966?)But; as everyone knows; the story got out of hand; and after some time; Densmore could barely take it anymore; even as the art form of theater rock was evolving before his eyes. His sympathy was with the audience; who came to hear a good show; but for whom Morrison often came heavily intoxicated; or plain psychotic; and either lectured or berated the audience; or did little at all. (And of course; some came just for that kind of alien theatricity.)I was disappointed that some events were left out; such as the details of some albums; the Ed Sullivan show; their appearance at the Toronto Pop Festival (headlined by the Plastic Ono Band--did they ever meet up with John Lennon?). Even Morrisons death is only referred to indirectly; I guess Densmore figures weve heard it all before anyway.Interesting; though; are Densmores personal travails with relationships (two failed marriages; a psychotic brother). Most touching is his description of what happened to him in his life after the Doors. You get the feeling of a very long come-down--which it was. After all; to go from an obscure house band in Los Angeles to among the top American 60s acts in a very short time; 4 powerful and distinct musicians working (mostly) cohesively; and then suddenly the carpet is yanked out.Densmore himself comes across as a very creative; level-headed; fair-minded person; upset by intoxication. He writes very clearly. The book reads very quickly. I was sorry that the book had to end. Well recommended.Incidentally; just the other day caught Densmore on Jimmy Fallon; he looks wonderful; going strong. And Fallon does an outstanding (as usual) Jim Morrison.0 of 0 people found the following review helpful. For Morrison Fans Worth The ReadBy DeeDeeThis is a very detailed book. I feel like I know and understand Jim and the Doors very well now. It is sad and dark like the groups persona so dont expect a feeling of satisfaction when you put it down. It is a must for any collection on rock n roll. My only complaint is about 1/3 of the book could have been eliminated as it tends to ramble about halfway through. Otherwise; go for it.
