21st CenTury Doors!

Does exactly what it says on the tin. Some of the nonsense contained herein may be very loosely related to The Sisters of Mercy, but I wouldn't bet your PayPal account on it. In keeping with the internet's general theme nothing written here should be taken as Gospel: over three quarters of it is utter gibberish, and most of the forum's denizens haven't spoken to another human being face-to-face for decades. Don't worry your pretty little heads about it. Above all else, remember this: You don't have to stay forever. I will understand.

There is increasing evidence to suggest that Chris may have been being sarcastic.

Riders On The Storm

i believe the useage of the name The Doors has been banned due to the other surviving member John Densmore and the Morrison clan taking the touring band to court

Ian Astbury sounds great by the way...just thought i leave that in there...he's been billed as "The Voice Of The Cult"...and they...are back...
Dim, through the misty panes and thick green light,
As under a green sea, I saw him drowning.

Astbury always did have a bit of a Jim Morrison fixation didn't he?
The fundamental cause of the trouble is that in the modern world the stupid are cocksure while the intelligent are full of doubt.

so don't they do any doors stuff?
well of course they do -and it will sound horrendously like astbury singing a doors song....either "in the style of" or not.i can't think which would be worse.

astbury does his own thing lyrically? (so they're doing new stuff too?)
i'm afraid that's an "of course" as well. morrison might have been an egotistical pseudo-philosophical drugs lightweight who died in the bath like a nancy but he had a distinctive voice and he could write lyrics that weren't wholly reliant on YEEEAAAAH!!BABY BABY BABY BABY! etc. (so could astbury .....once).

and i wouldn't pay 65 squid to see a reanimated mr mojo risin. even if it meant i could shout "lightweight" at him all night. :twisted:
Well I was handsome and I was strong
And I knew the words to every song.
"Did my singing please you?"
"No! The words you sang were wrong!"

BeJesus! I'm a big fan of the original Doors (and the Cult) but that's too much for any gig. Would be interested to hear what they sound like, though.
