Aww, somebody's all butthurt over the Doors' music. Isn't that cute?

Someone hating on The Doors? Well I suppose the Village People had something to say as well.

I don't know if I like this new 'popular' music from the, so-called, Original Dixieland Jazz Band.

And what's the deal with these medieval bards?

I used to like the Doors; but I don't know. I just can't listen to them with any regularity anymore. Besides, this cover was probably the best thing to result from The Lost Boys.

On the other hand, the new Echo & The Bunnymen CD kicks ass.

Coincidentally, the guy from the Lost Boys would have probably played a better Morrison in the film than Kilmer.

That's right, Corey Haim would have ruled.

Sounds exactly the same as the original. How is an exact replica of something better than the original?

OK,
I'll jump on this.

Echo and the Bunnymen are a middling, derivative new wave product

You can literally take the drum track from any one of their songs and substitute it into any other song with a tempo change, and the same almost goes for the bass lines as well.

Killing Moon had a nice melodic hook in the chorus..that's it, Game over!!

the Doors on the other hand...

I do, willingly. They're not that great of a band, and NO ONE needs to put a 17 minute organ solo in a son. NO. ONE.

I'm with you on that. I have never been a fan of Ray Manzarek's style. But to each his/her own.

The last time I questioned the validity of The Doors, it was pretty much the same argument from the pro-Doors side. That is, no one could really identify a redeeming quality.

robsul82: Who the fark insults The Doors? Lame subby.

I do. The Doors deserve a lot of criticism for a lot of shiat. Morrison himself even admitted openly that "Hello, I Love You" was a whorish grab at radio airplay.

Why the hell does Echo & The Bunnymen still even exist? Which one of you farkers is still buying their music or tickets to their shows?

Just because the music of the '90s completely sucked ass does not mean that the '80s are worth reliving.

Neither Echo nor any Bunnyman is fit to wipe Jim Morrisons flat flabby dead ass. And despite the username, I dont really think that much of The Doors, they are just better than this group by light years

Screw you, subby. The Doors had a bunch of great songs. Love me two times, Riders on the Storm, Light My Fire, and others. What the hell does Echo and The Bunnymen have to compare? Call me when they're fit to hold Jim Morrison's decaying nutsack.

I remember being about 12 and thinking the Doors sucked (of course at the time I adored Andy Gibb). Then I saw a picture of Jim Morrison on the cover of Rolling Stone ("Hot, Sexy and Dead" was the caption) and developed a necro-crush on him and started learning all I could about the band. Now, other than the extended keyboard solos, I can completely enjoy old Doors music. Still wish I'd had a chance to see Ian Astbury tour with them.

Your band rocks so much harder than The Doors! Can I have your autograph?? Oh, wait, you're just a little nobody with no band and nothing but criticism on a message board. Hm. Fret not, maybe someday Echo and The Bunnymen can make YOU listenable one day. Heh... little nobody... heh, heh.

Can't say I'm a huge Doors fan, but that sucked. Not because it was a Doors song, but because it just sucked. What is even the point? It's like a crappy attempt at a note-for-note cover.
