* DiedDuringProduction: ''Other Voices'' was already being worked on by Manzarek, Densmore, and Krieger when Jim Morrison died, and Morrison was set to join the rest of the band to record vocals prior to his death. In the end, Manzarek and Krieger shared vocal duties.

* CowboyBebopAtHisComputer: It is a rather common misconception when reporting about the band that they immediately disbanded after Morrison's death, ignoring that in reality they remained together for two more years as a trio, even releasing two albums in the meantime, before actually breaking up for good.

The fact that this period is usually held as FanonDiscontinuity doesn't help.

This was previously on YMMV.The Doors, so moving it here since it's Trivia and not YMMV.

Added DiffLines:

* BuryYourArt: For years, their albums ''Other Voices'' and ''Full Circle'', both recorded [[TheBandMinusTheFace without the late Jim Morrison]], were unavailable past their original print runs (save for a handful of songs appearing on compilation albums and bootleg copies) and [[CanonDiscontinuity scrubbed from the band's discography]]. In 2011, the band relented and allowed both albums to be reissued on both digital services and [=CD=].

Moved Unintentional Period Piece to the YMMV tab.


* BeamMeUpScotty: "Father? Yes, son? / I want to kill you / Mother, I want to fuck you". That isn't the original line, and is only known and accepted by most as the official line because of the popular live version where Jim sings that line. In the studio version, Jim sings, "Mother, I want to..." then suddenly screams a bunch of unintelligible nonsense.

* UnintentionalPeriodPiece:
** "20th Century Fox" was already obsolete come 2000, but the studio of the same name it was named for at the time was renamed to Creator/TwentiethCenturyStudios in 2020.
** The post-Morrison track "Four Billion Souls". The title was a reference to the global population at the time. As of 2020, the world population is almost twice that. (This apparently [[https://youtu.be/HIMtJSWC8bY concerns Robby a little]]).

** The band was asked to play Woodstock, but they thought it would be a cheap imitation of the Monterey Pop festival. Also, Morrison disliked playing outdoor shows. John Densmore actually did go, though.

* RoleReprise: Besides the live shows and such, Ray often showed up on other bands' studio Doors covers, such as Music/EchoAndTheBunnymen's "People Are Strange" and Music/{{Santana}} and [[Music/LinkinPark Chester Bennington's]] [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DYxWF-A2zq4 "Riders on the Storm"]].

He even provided keyboards for Music/WeirdAlYankovic's "Craigslist", which is a style parody of the Doors.
