The Doors?

I'm getting quite a headache:
I kind of want to go, simply out of curiousity, but my brain is telling me "STAY THE FUCK AWAY!" and I hate Ian Astbury. But I like Robby Kreiger. but it's $55! but I'm curious. but I'm going to a wedding the next morning.
should I go purely for nostalgia (that I never even experienced the first time around) or should I stay home?
I'm gonna go grab some advil……

Be afraid. Be very afraid. It'll sell out fast though.

The Doors? – that's what they should call themselves, not the Doors of the 21st Century. How goddamn lame. the thought of this show is pretty disgusting. you are better off going to see a doors tribute band because at least the cover band are doing it for the love of the music and not just trying to cash in.

Ian Astbury is awesome though. one of the most underrated vocalists ever.

I hate the Doors. I'd think about it if they still had Stewart Copeland around, though.

I think Ray Manzarek is amazingly talented, I always have. He's one of the smart ones…kind of a dork in some ways, but endearing. I am tempted to see this, but I'd rather pay 55 clams to see Devo, who will be amazing. I just can't see EVERYTHING. That being said, the Doors made some good music and I think they're a decent band. I loved it when Echo and the Bunnymen would interrupt "Do IT Clean" to play "Roadhouse Blues"…very cool.

I feel the same way about Sting, except I would add Andy Summers too.

The Doors are one of my most hated classic rock bands…and I saw the Cult circa 1990 and they were awful.

John Densmore to my knowledge is not dead……he just chooses to not be involved with this "incarnation" of the band,correct???

John Densmore doesn't really dig the idea of playing anymore. He's always been the cranky one anyway. Not that I blame him…who knows, maybe he didn't blow through his royalties like the other 2 did.

$90 for that show and the NY Dolls the next night.
I think I could get a better show for much cheaper by going to a couple of nursing homes and leading the residents in Xmas carols.

I remember back in my old home city, The Cult opened for Metallica and got booed off the stage. I think it was the And Justice tour..
However they then came back after the Sonic Temple/Bob Cock album and people went to the show..
go figure…

Metallica is highly overrated… and apparently their fans are assholes, too, for booing an opening band off the stage unless they did something really egregious.

Before their self-titled album, Metallica was a gritty raw speed-metal band who rarely got played on the radio and only grudgingly made their first video (for One). I also saw the And Justice For All tour and the all-male crowd there was the same that went to see Slayer, Megadeth and Anthrax.
So if a slightly foppish, British glam/retro metal band opened up, I could totally see the metal-heads going nuts. That's just a bad match-up. Metallica definitely got mainstream in the 90s, but before that, I can't imagine hearing songs about 'all my beautiful friends' and 'pictures of never ending dreams'.

I saw this tour down in Richmond. I've seen the Cult a few times live and even though I used to like a few of their records it's always been completely forgettable.
