I was informed today that Ian Astburys had been fronting a reformed Doors with the original members Ray Manzerek and Robby Krleger and theyve been touring... How the feck did I miss this? Apparently Astbury does his own thing lyrically and its not a tribute styley to Morrison...

Being brave is coming home at 2am half drunk, smelling of perfume, climbing into bed, slapping the wife on the arse and saying,"right fatty, you're next!!"
Sixty quids a bit steep! Dont think I could justify that amount for a gig...scotty wrote:We were going to go and see them in Glasgow, but the tickets were sixty five quid .............so we didn't .TwinKle wrote:I was informed today that Ian Astburys had been fronting a reformed Doors with the original members Ray Manzerek and Robby Krleger and theyve been touring...

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

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.

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.
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.Planet Dave wrote:scotty wrote: but the tickets were sixty five quid
