Title: Bruce, Terry Melcher, and The Doors? Post by: Dave in KC on August 11, 2009, 01:29:17 PM Was watching a Doors bio last night and the eventual Doors producer said that the group had intially tried to hire Bruce and then Terry. This surprised me. Just goes to show how well respected they both must have been way back in 1966-67.

Title: Re: Bruce, Terry Melcher, and The Doors? Post by: Dave in KC on August 11, 2009, 02:36:19 PM Clarification in order. The Doors needed a producer. Before they found the one they had, both Bruce and then Terry were on the short list.

Murry: "Jim, I'm the Lizard King too, now what about some Lawrence Welk strings on this number." Title: Re: Bruce, Terry Melcher, and The Doors?

Title: Re: Bruce, Terry Melcher, and The Doors? Post by: juggler on August 12, 2009, 05:47:32 PM Just goes to show how well respected they both must have been way back in 1966-67. Bruce was definitely considered a hip and talented guy back then. And it's pretty obvious that Brian Wilson was one of his biggest fans. Hell, Bruce probably sang more on Pet Sounds and Smile than Dennis. I always thought it was a shame that Bruce didn't make the front cover of Pet Sounds, considering that he was at the photo shoot at the San Diego Zoo. Title: Re: Bruce, Terry Melcher, and The Doors? Post by: tpesky on August 12, 2009, 07:12:07 PM It's a shame his role in the shows has been reduced to hand clapper. He could add much more, I guess he doesn't want to

Post by: Pinder's Gone To Kokomo And Back Again on August 13, 2009, 03:36:58 PM I think it was because he was still signed as an artist to another record lable!
Or something along those lines Title: Re: Bruce, Terry Melcher, and The Doors? Post by: SG7 on August 13, 2009, 05:03:00 PM Images of Bruce producing Light My Fire....
"A little long guys. How about some bongos?" :lol :lol :lol :lol :lol Title: Re: Bruce, Terry Melcher, and The Doors? Post by: Pinder's Gone To Kokomo And Back Again on August 13, 2009, 05:42:10 PM yes, and imagine him pursuading The Doors to record "I Write The Songs"
Title: Re: Bruce, Terry Melcher, and The Doors? Post by: Alex on August 13, 2009, 07:45:07 PM I think it was because he was still signed as an artist to another record label! Or something along those lines Bruce was signed to Columbia when PS came out, and appearing on the cover of a competing label's product would've been a breach of his contract...I doubt he wanted Columbia to sue him for something as little as posing in a picture. |
