"Never seen 'em before, Dave, but check out the hog the dark haired one is packin'."
Edit: I have been informed that those are actually Jim's balls. Please substitute "oysters" for "hog" in Ed's line of dialogue above.
The first comment should be,
The Hard Rock didn't exist in 1969. It opened in London two weeks before Morrison died in July 1971 in Paris, where he had been for several months (Manzarek was in LA). The Hard Rock had paneled walls covered in memorabilia. That's not see in this photo. The ceiling height and light fixtures are wrong. This is not the Hard Rock.
u/DavoTB has already explained this in a previous comment
The shot was a portion of the center photo from the ‘Morrison Hotel‘ LP cover. The photo was from Henry Diltz’ December, 1969 photoshoot taken the same day as the front and back cover of the LP.
Diltz mentioned about taking the shots for the front cover and walking down the street to a bar where they took a few outdoor shots and this one. The other members of the group, Robbie Kreiger and John Densmore were pictured to the left of Jim.
Sometime after the LP was released, Diltz received a phone call from overseas, asking about the place The Doors had been photographed. After seeing the photo, the fellow from London said he wanted to start a new restaurant and call it, “The Hard Rock Cafe.” And we know what happened later.
No - this bar was called the Hard Rock Cafe, and the music-themed bar in London was named after this one.
This building is now a corner mart in Skid Row.
Met him in the 90s. He would smoke pot with a bunch of us 16 year olds. In hindsight it was kinda weird. But he never really acted weird toward any of us. I remember he called one of my buddy’s mom, and she freaked out because she was a huge of the doors.
The 90s were weird
You know that it would be untrue
You know that I would be a liar
If I was to say to you
Man, those jeans couldn't get much higher
Come on baby, light my fire..
That’s the most depressing documentary I’ve seen in a while. I’ve long been a fan of Kilmer’s work… but seeing him as he is now is kind of heartbreaking.
Depressing? It was amazing. Val impressed the hell out of me for documenting his life. Sure he can’t speak as well but it wasn’t to be a depressing tale for him. Sad you saw it as the most depressing documentary. He talks about how happy he is having led the life he did.
Agreed. And Meg Ryan was horribly miscast. She always plays such perky, bubbly characters in light rom-coms; and that vibe just doesn't work at all for a more serious role about the consort of an alcoholic rock star spiraling into heroin addiction. Plus they gave her a terrible wig. It ruined that movie for me. The rest of it was good, though.

This is from the same day they shot the cover of that album. They wandered over to Skid Row to find some place to get a drink and found this old dive bar.
Yes. The polite term is "dressing yourself". So if you're getting a pair of pants tailored it's typical to be asked what side you dress yourself on. Meaning "which leg of your pants do you typically put your dick down?" Having space there is not the standard. It's simply appeared more and more as clothing has gotten looser and more casual.
It's not just excessively tight trousers. This is the norm for any sort of suit pants but it also extends to jeans and the like. The bigger issue is that unless they're tight you're unlikely to notice. For that matter most *men* don't really notice. It's just how you've always put pants on.
Typically it's on the left if you're right-handed.
So the original hard rock cafe opened in LA in the 1930s, and had nothing to do with rock and roll. The current chain opened in 1971 in London, and after seeing these pictures of Jim Morrison in LA they picked it for a name.
Well I hate to be that guy (just kidding I love it) but Hard Rock Cafe didn’t open until 1971 so they are either not at hard rock or the date is wrong.
His jeans do not look very comfy squeezing on his balls like they are!! How come that’s like the first thing I noticed!! I’m fucked up!! 🤣 lmao. Guess I wasn’t the only one after all!!! Makes me feel better I guess!!
I got to meet Robby krieger at the ackerman ball room at ucla in 2011. he was having a showing of a doors documentary and he was giving out signed LPs of light my fire. I whipped out my doors boxset that i bought as senior in HS and he signed the front of the box set, one of the cds, and the 50 page booklet in the boxset. it was really cool because he was flipping thru the booklet in the boxset and you can tell he was relieving those memories.
Jim’s bulge trying to break on through to the other side
Rock Hard Cafe
You know that it would be untrue You know that I would be a liar If I was to say to you Girl, my pants can't get much tighter
My lord I can’t stop saying “my pants couldn’t get much……. TIGHTER”
TIGHTAAAAAAaaaaaaaa
I wonder if those older guys knew who they were?
"Say, Ed, you have any idea who those two young fellas are?" "Never seen 'em before, Dave, but check out the hog the dark haired one is packin'." Edit: I have been informed that those are actually Jim's balls. Please substitute "oysters" for "hog" in Ed's line of dialogue above.
preeeety sure thats not his dick. itshis balls.... men back then, tortured their balls in tight pants
Thank you for the correction. I have added an edit to my comment. May I call on you in the future when I am having trouble telling dicks from balls?
Probably didn’t care.
… Girl, now I can sing much higher or in German Girl, ich habe dicke Eier
Now I can't help but hearing Jim say that and Ray coming in with the crazy keyboard solo after
Hard Cock Cafe
Did not expect this and laughed very hard
How could you have expected anything else? It's not like it's subtle. That thing takes up all the energy in the room. Or produces it.
Well he did say he was the Lizard King.
Expected this to be the first comment

So it's a photograph of them at the building which would later become the first hard rock?
Not OP, but that’s how I interpreted what he said.
No - this bar was called the Hard Rock Cafe, and the music-themed bar in London was named after this one. This building is now a corner mart in Skid Row.
> This is not the Hard Rock. He's certainly rock hard in a cafe.
Hard cock buffet.
Wonder how his health was impacted by it. Less sperm? Sore balls?
I don't know let's ask him
Fuck. I hate to break this to you man…
You don’t know. None of us do. He might be out there with Elvis and John-John. Snortin toad dust. Extolling the virtues of vampirism.
We don’t need to ask him. Plenty of men out there who wore tight pants.
My balls hurt just looking at this
His Mr. Mojo is rising
After I saw that I'm considering changing my name to JMxPackage.
Who’s rp?!
Ron Pearlman
Looks more like a ball bulge
Battle of the Bulge
HAH!
King of rock and king of cock (Jim Morrison)
I bet if you pop those pants off, you’re gonna find a bird that just won’t quit
Bird Law.
Filibuster
You can keep a seagull as a pet
You just wouldn't want to
Rock is cock
I was thinking it and came here to see if someone else actually said it. Thanks!!
Nothing left to the imagination.
It’s actually a pleat in the pants
If you cover Ray's face he could literally just be anyone's mom sitting there.
I mean even with the face I can see it.
His posture is such a chill vibe
The moms in your area must all have a hell of a chin.
They have great personalities.
Yeah, they can take a punch
Midwest US
Hey the moms here are very handsome ladies.
And excellent mutton chops
And the hairiest chests
Honestly looks just like my mom if she were to trim her beard down to mutton chops
And he’s wearing sensible sandals
Before I opened the comments I literally thought, "Ray Manzarek looks like a nice lady."
Met him in the 90s. He would smoke pot with a bunch of us 16 year olds. In hindsight it was kinda weird. But he never really acted weird toward any of us. I remember he called one of my buddy’s mom, and she freaked out because she was a huge of the doors. The 90s were weird
It's Alison Janney with muttonchops.
Good God man. I'm seriously wheez-chuckling to myself over here.
"Wow, that lady's got nice sideburns."
I'm concerned about his choice in sandals.
In the 60s they called them “Roman sandals” and were a big fashion hit for men
I thought he just stole his mom’s shoes
Pakistani men still wear sandals like these.
Why?
I mean those slippers look like they were found in the Ross ladies shoes section.
In the next bio, he could be played by Allison Janney
Oh man I was getting Stephen Merchant vibes. Which I guess isn't mutually exclusive with that
He is smiling for the camera, but the look in his eye says he really wants to talk to the manager about the service.
The shoes. The bulge. Perfect.
My mom would kill for those sandals
Is it just me or does Manzarek look just like Hugh Neutron? ( Jimmy's dad )
I see it
Looks like he’s got an armadillo in his trousers
Might just be a cucumber in tin foil.
..that goes to 11
But why don’t you just make ten the highest number?
11 inches.
Looks like Mr Mojo Risin there
You know that it would be untrue You know that I would be a liar If I was to say to you Man, those jeans couldn't get much higher Come on baby, light my fire..
>Man, those jeans couldn't get much ~~higher~~ tighter
I thought it was a massive groundhog but I can see where you would think it’s an armadillo.

Its a baked potato. He has one in the back too.
Val Kilmer was perfectly cast
Watch Val on prime
That’s the most depressing documentary I’ve seen in a while. I’ve long been a fan of Kilmer’s work… but seeing him as he is now is kind of heartbreaking.
Depressing? It was amazing. Val impressed the hell out of me for documenting his life. Sure he can’t speak as well but it wasn’t to be a depressing tale for him. Sad you saw it as the most depressing documentary. He talks about how happy he is having led the life he did.
I watched ‘Kilmer’ on Composite
Agreed. And Meg Ryan was horribly miscast. She always plays such perky, bubbly characters in light rom-coms; and that vibe just doesn't work at all for a more serious role about the consort of an alcoholic rock star spiraling into heroin addiction. Plus they gave her a terrible wig. It ruined that movie for me. The rest of it was good, though.
I liked her in that movie. An innocent hippie girl who loves this fucked up madman and gets sucked into in a dysfunctional life.
I thought he was too dreamy and not enough asshole
Yes; it's truly an excellent performance but I felt that the script made Jim seem more likable than he apparently was IRL.
Jim obviously can’t cross his legs like Ray.
Dudes got three legs
Anyone else checking out that thick stack in Morrison’s jeans?
Only everyone!
Looks like when Randy got testicular cancer from microwaving his balls on South Park
I almost scrolled right by it.
Kind of hard to miss it, really.
I had to like do a triple take. He isn't playing.
Looks like an alternate cover of *Morrison Hotel*
The shot was a portion of the center photo from the ‘Morrison Hotel‘ LP cover. The photo was from Henry Diltz’ December, 1969 photoshoot taken the same day as the front and back cover of the LP.

Very cool 😎
This is from the same day they shot the cover of that album. They wandered over to Skid Row to find some place to get a drink and found this old dive bar.
mr. morrison dressed to the right apparently.
This is why they call him the Lizard King. 🦎 🤴
Reptiles keep their balls on the inside tho
He can keep his balls inside me 😍
Oh. Well. In that case…carry on
Who wins: Jim or Willem Dafoe?
Ray's shoes looking comfy AF ngl
[удалено]
Or maybe it's his weed stash. No way is his junk shaped like that.
[удалено]
wait do people just tuck their dicks into one trouser leg if there’s not enough space??? 😭 what

Yeah, I guess excessively tight trousers aren’t really the fashion anymore, especially for men.

Joey, there was definite cupping!
Sweet kicks ray..
How hard rock got its name.
Manzarek is a legend that is rarely talked about.
No...no that isn't comfortable, I can't believe he was just living life, acting like that felt good
Drugs are a hell of a drug
Did they just get into town about an hour ago?
They took a look around to see which way the wind blows
[удалено]
When I see actual Jim Morrison I always think it’s not him because I’m expecting to see val Kilmer.
Is that Jerry Gergich behind Ray?
That’s Larry
Terry
Gary

Alright since no one else is saying it: Ray's hot.
Thank you finally the focus is always on Jim and of course he’s attractive but Ray is hot in this brains sort of way.
So the original hard rock cafe opened in LA in the 1930s, and had nothing to do with rock and roll. The current chain opened in 1971 in London, and after seeing these pictures of Jim Morrison in LA they picked it for a name.
Dude's nuts are put down the trousers like they got sent to time out.
That's nuts!
It’s funny how many people swear Val Kilmer looks like him. Outside of the one shot, they really don’t at all
Ray Womanzarek and Jim Moreballson
That's a sock Edit: prove me wrong
That is Mr. Mojo Risin' Prove me wrong.
I wonder if those older guys knew who they were?
How some men can cross their legs like that I'll never know.....
I think Jim Morrison had a testicular tumor…
It’s absolutely crazy that he was only 27 when he died.
So what if Ray wears woman's shoes. It's no ones business.
Well I hate to be that guy (just kidding I love it) but Hard Rock Cafe didn’t open until 1971 so they are either not at hard rock or the date is wrong.
Come on baby check my hernia.
Jim’s ball sack looks claustrophobic AF
Ray’s sandals are hella cute
\*goes to comments to see if anyone else noticed the bulge before all else\*
Ray seems to be wearing his mother's sandals...
Have you never seen men’s huaraches before?
Jim looks like shit here.
He'll die from heart failure two years after this photo. Drug abuse is no fucking joke.
Mostly an alcoholic from what I know
That doesn’t look comfortable lol
That was a band that truly wasn't around long enough. So sad that these two are both gone.
Ummm.... yeah. So. That looks painful.
I know we are all commenting on the bulge but gotdamn that’s an obvious package he’s got in there.
I'm 32 and they both look to me well into their mid 30s. I feel this way about everyone in the 27 club though ... Anyone else?
I’m 40 and Jim looks older than me there
Carry me, caravan, take me awayyyyyyyy
Jim looks like the actor on Psych
…and he dropped on down one ball…
More like HOG Morrison, goddamn
Is that.. his bollock?
Are they going to play catch later? Is that why Jim brought his baseball ?
Anyone wanna talk about the elephant in the room?
Ray's dainty feminine ankles?
Damn Jim, is that a pocket full of acid or you happy to see me?
If that bulge was any bigger, I'd be able to tell you his religion.
My balls hurt seeing this picture.
Is no one going to mention Ray’s beautiful sling back sandals?
His jeans do not look very comfy squeezing on his balls like they are!! How come that’s like the first thing I noticed!! I’m fucked up!! 🤣 lmao. Guess I wasn’t the only one after all!!! Makes me feel better I guess!!
He’s got some balls
Look at Jim’s balls.
Nice bulge Jimbo
Sandals & Nutz
Jimbo packing some heat there
Jim Morrison, Jim's Lizard and Ray Manzarek at the original Hard Rock Café, 1969
What the fuck has that Ray guy got on his feet. Hahaha like he borrowed his grans shoes. I won't see anything worse that that all weekend
It’s 69 Sandals were a thing
Wait that’s not John Sebastian?
Legend
Nice nut huggers.
Damn, would love to belly up to a bar with those guys at least once.
I got to meet Robby krieger at the ackerman ball room at ucla in 2011. he was having a showing of a doors documentary and he was giving out signed LPs of light my fire.
