Guest Red Hot Thumbtack In The Eye Report post Posted November 23, 2002 I shouldn't be dignifying this with a response since it might be misconstrued as interest in watching someone completely piss on someone's legacy and grave. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Choken One Report post Posted November 23, 2002 What is the big deal...as long as it involves some of the true members then It's all good...at least they didn't sign on with Scott Weiland like some rumors stated. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest TheyCallMeMark Report post Posted November 24, 2002 Astbury is more of a vocalist than Morrison ever was. I never understood what the big deal was with that guy. OH NO I COLLAPSED ON STAGE BECAUSE I'M FUCKED UP ON HEROINE OOHH LOOK AT ME OOHHH. Blah big deal! I like Cope and Kreiger though, so I'm all about new songs.

Guest Brian Report post Posted November 24, 2002 Manzarek and Krieger were the architects of the Doors. Morrison was just an image, eye candy. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest goodhelmet Report post Posted November 24, 2002 add to thefact that copeland is prolly one of the best drummers ever and this band is probably better than the original ten-fold! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Incandenza Report post Posted November 24, 2002 I said this in another thread: I don't like the Doors. Never have. The music was boring, and Morrison's self-important "poetry" was laughable at best; tedious at worst. They can go on tour and make all the records they want for what I care.

Guest Agent of Oblivion Report post Posted November 25, 2002 I love the doors, but this isn't something I'm interested in at all. Like it or not, Morrison WAS the Doors. It began and ended with him as a frontman and lyricist. Kreiger and Manzarek just provided the good music. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest Matt Young Report post Posted November 26, 2002 Jim was one of the best singers and lyricists ever, period. The Cult just sucks. I'll admit though, Ian Asterbury's cover of "Touch Me" on Stoned Immaculate was badass, so this should be good. At any rate, I'd pay good money to see any of the 3 surviving members of the Doors playing their songs live. I'm one of the biggest Doors marks ever: It sucks that John Densmore won't be touring with them, but I know that he and Ray have had heat with each other ever since Ray released his book Light My Fire. Still, as long as I get to see half the band live, I'll be having musical orgasms. I'm not sure about new material, though. I'd love to see them release new shit, but not under the Doors name.

Guest Brian Report post Posted November 26, 2002 Krieger wrote "Light My Fire" and "Touch Me". I haven't seen any other vinyls, but Morrison gets a lot of credit in the songwriting category where most of his stuff wasn't that great and he was never able to really put together music with poetry.

Most of Morrison's stuff wasn't that great? How about you go and check out "The Soft Parade" "LA Woman" "Five To One" "Shaman's Blues" Those few should get you started...........

Guest evenflowDDT Report post Posted November 26, 2002 Seeing as how The Doors have already recorded and released post-Morrison material and they did that whole VH1 Storytellers or something where they switched vocalists for every song, this really isn't that bad. If they hadn't done those before maybe I'd care. Actually... if this leads to classic Doors albums going on sale, I'm all for it! All I own is "The Very Best" (not even the much better 2CD "Greatest Hits" collection)... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Paranoid Report post Posted November 26, 2002 They should be called the Trim Around the Door! Without Morrison they're shit. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest red_file Report post Posted November 26, 2002 Is it really any different than Pink Floyd continuing after they lost Syd and Roger? Regardless of what they do (tour, record new albums, make sexually explicit home movies heavily featuring tennis rackets and Bertha Faye), the older recordings will still exist. They're not destorying a legacy because said legacy will always exist; even if they tried, they couldn't pull a Speilberg and change the originals. Consider me not caring.
