    I agree with previous posters, both Krieger and Densmore are vastly underrated musicians. In fact I think if any one the Doors had not been in that band, and their roles were filled by other musicians, the whole thing would not have worked. It is the unique, ecentric qualities of every member that made that band click.

    Wish we could have had more music from them - Jim was a genius.

    Yes...huge doors fan here aswell. Actually, has anyone seen the doors of the 21st century? Im wondering if they are as good or worth seeing if they hit my area of the world.
    I also just found out im going to paris for my 21st, so i'll be dropping by Jim's place in Pere LaChaise. Eerily beautiful that place is.

    i was them with ian in 2003 i think here in cleveland

    man, they still have it

    ian astbury did a hell of a job
    i would sit throughout the show and forget at times it was NOT jim, he really did well too bad densmore is being such a punk about allof this stuff it would be great to see him there too, but i also hear his ears are jacked so maybe not

    the doors are my number 2 band ( not far from pj in my book)

    According to ray manzarek, the movie was way off. He said that Jim wasn't this giant drunken bufoon who would shout poetry on top of cars and piss himmself all the time. The movie was entertaining, but i think that it exagerated the partying aspect of morrison.
    i don't think it exagerated it a bit !!
    from everything i read he was the wild man portrayed.
    but it did NOT show his other side, the intelligent, soft side, the artist, the poet, the philosopher
    the man was a super smart man with a dark void that took him over
    like val quotes inthe movie
    having the soul of a clown that forces himto blow it at the most crucial moments or somethig like that

    when someone says party like a rock star
    jim is the definition of that for sure

    does anyone know where to get the video of eddie and the doors at the hall of fame induction on dvd??

    I think the Doors are the most overrated band in the history of the world.

    I actually really enjoyed Oliver Stone's movie. It obviously had great music, but it was just a cool peak into the lives of the Doors no matter how much or how little it diverted from reality. I watched it to be entertained, and listen to some amazing music, which is exactly what this movie did for me. Keep in mind, that Jim Morrison, really was kind of a drunken stoned madman, who did have sex with lots of women. Also, Val Kilmer did an amazing job portraying Jim Morrison.

    Morrison was the best frontman ever. He may have been a bit creepy, maybe sick and twisted. But one cannot deny the impact his presence and tremendous baritone had on late 80s/early 90s rock, Yes I direct that at messrs Staley, Cornell and Vedder.

    Superb band with such talent and extraordinary innovation. Made their mark on rock and roll.

    I'll bump this thread with this question...

    Does anyone have a link or the file of the Doors being inducted into the rock and roll hall of fame? I have the performances with Ed, but I have never seen the speech of who inducted them.

    There's the spinner.com site, but for some reason im not able to view the clip. Hope somone knows where else I can look.
    2006 ░▒▓ Astoria, Dublin, Leeds, Reading, Lisbon, Paris, Verona, Athens
    2007 ░▒▓ London, Dusseldorf, Copenhagen, Nijmegen
    2009 ░▒▓ Manchester, London
    2010 ░▒▓ Hyde Park

    Hmmm I have the whole thing recorded but I'm not sure where to find it online.
    I'm sure someone here will be able to help you though. :)

    I just wanted to say THANK YOU for BUMPING this thread!!! :D I was actually gonna BUMP it up the other day. Great to see it resurfaced.

    I'm still grinning over Densmore's props to Ed! :D How awesome was that!?
    I cannot even begin to process the thought of these guys touring together!
    It's TOO MUCH!!!
