How fucking cool would that be? Man if they did it, Ed would rock that song.
Its perfect for these times. If you listen to the lyrics you will see it actually fits into our war.

    Spanish Caravan would be a great and uncommon choice.
    When the music's over, The End (if anybody can pull that one of besides Morrison is Ed), Not to touch the earth etc.

    Oooooo, not to touch the earth!
    Not to touch the earth,
    not to see the sun,
    nothing left to do but run run run,
    lets run.....lets run.
    House upon a hill,
    moon is lying still,
    shadows of the trees,
    witness in the wild breeze,
    com'on baby run with me,
    lets run!!!!
    Run with me.....

    Great fucking song!!!

    I think that would be cool.
    These cuts are leaving creases. Trace the scars to fit the pieces, to tell the story, you don't need to say a word.

    This thread is really inspiring.

    I now will never be able to listen to a Doors song without picturing PJ covering it!

    I guess that's not so bad!

    I could see them doing that, but its very VERY Jim Morrison-ish. Not a lot of bands could pull off covering that one.

    That song always seemed to invoove a lot of Jim theatrics, so Ed would have to bring it. And so would Boom.

    Think they could handle "Not to Touch the Earth"? :D

    I have always said that Ed's got a very Jim Morrison-esque presence.

    Seems like a natural direction to go in.

    How about Moonlight Mile?
    Stop following me, I do not know where I am going.

    Maybe it's just me, but I assumed the OP recommended this cover because of the political statements the band makes.

    If PJ was going to cover a bunch of doors tunes, I think they would have done so when Eddie was performing with the remaining doors members back in the '90s.

    I would like to hear them play R.E.M's It's the end of the world as we know it.The whole song not just part of it.Or a whole U2 song.But I'll take whatever they want to cover.
