Interesting version. Wonder where they got the f**k track. It was definitely not clear on the original mix. And the helicopter intro is Apocalypse Now, not Doors.

This is in my opinion Jim's best vocal- there's just something particularly beautiful about it. Until it goes all strange at the end, that is.

Agree with Cheeba and then some: this version is B.S. Actually it's take right from the soundtrack of "Apocalypse Now" right down to the helicopter sound in the beginning. AN is a great flick, but this version of the song has no business being passed off as the original.

it's good exept i don't get what the hell is going onm in the end of 'the end'
|
||
I'm gonna repeat the complaints of others: This is NOT the version from "The Best of...". The real, original version of The End is the version that should be played.
|
||
read other comments, get rid of this version, I want to hear the album version
|
||
Why do they show they credit this song to The Best of the Doors when it's not the same version that's on that album? If it's on the apocalypse now soundtrack why not credit that?
|
||
This version is from the Apocalypse Now Original Soundtrack, not the Best Of album.

i got married to this song. boy was i right It was the end . end of happiness and life as i rememberd it! dirtyjobs196 4
|
||
This song reminds me of the doors movie!!!/If you haven't seen it.... well then see it......
|
||
couldnt agree more ...interesti n g effects but NO WHERE near the original version
|
||
I agree with pandora44276 , this version needs to be relabeled as maybe the "Apocalypse Now" version not the best of...
|
||
The killer awoke before dawn. He put his boots on. He took a face from the ancient gallery and he walked on down the hall.......e t c .
|
||
This version sucks, I don't care if it's from a movie or not. Why mess with perfection?
|
||
I, too, would much rather have the original, album version. The extra effects at the beginning and the way it cuts away to jungle sounds halfway through are definitely a detraction. And then the entire refrain at the end is missing. Why mess with greatness?
IMHO, this version needs to be re-labeled for the album on which it actually appears. I own "Best Of", and this version is NOT on it. |

Nice try, jnickell. Next time spend 30 seconds googling first instead of blurting something out like you know what you're saying...
|
||
this from apocalypse now. this is the version from the movie, not the original album version
|
||
what the f**k do you mean "mix"? This is no mix, it's a classic dumbass
|
||
Where the H--l did this mix come from?Hey J nickle ,A mix is what we people who know something about music call the final version of a song (MIXED) from the MULTITRACK RECORDING. AND THIS IS FAR FROM THE ORIGINAL ONE ! SO BEFORE YOU GO CALLING ANYONE A DUMBASS, Please KNOW WHAT YOU ARE TALKING ABOUT. I suppose you were born in the 80s or 90s ,so what would you know about classics anyway? I agree with pandora44276 . T h a n x chc7 .
