Famous Doors Fans

[ensenada]

Can anyone name famous people who are doors fans for a bit of fun?

I believe ewan mggregor was at a dork concert, so he must be a fan. obviously iggy pop, marilyn manson, alice cooper (as I have just learned), Billy idol, pearl jam, who else?

The Inspiral Carpets were Doors daft.
Several members of Catatonia were fans.
Johnny Depp is a fan.
John Kerry (loser who could not even beat GW Bush) is also a fan.
Simon Le Bon from Duran Duran says The Doors are his favourite all time group.

Ewan records a rap song
September 15, 2003

Trainspotting star Ewan McGregor has recorded a song which raps the fast-living lifestyles of rock stars, it emerged today.

In the satirical rap song, the actor will mock famous people who died young such as rock stars Jimi Hendrix, Sid Vicious and Marc Bolan.

The song has been penned by avant garde composer Simon Boswell and attacks the hedonistic excesses of tragic stars, the Sunday Times reported.

The expletive-laden lyrics of the song refer to the line by Pete Townshend of The Who in the song My Generation: "I hope I die before I get old."

McGregor, who comes from Crieff, Perthshire, sings: "F Pete Townshend and the song that he sung / I don't wanna die while I'm still young."

McGregor, who played a heroin addict in Trainspotting, also attacks The Doors singer Jim Morrison, Kurt Cobain and Hollywood star James Dean in the song.

I saw Patti Smith in London on July 3rd last year and she dedicated 'Break It Up' to Jim which was the song she wrote for him! and while they were playing the song there were pictures of Jim on the giant screen behind the band! she has been to Pere Lachaise a few times too.....

"Jim Morrison probably got the closest
to being an artist within rock and roll, I think. . . .
His death made me sadder than anyone's.
He was a really great poet."
—Patti Smith



Break It Up

Car stopped in a clearing,
Ribbon of life, it was nearing.
I saw the boy break out of his skin.
My heart turned over and I crawled in.
He cried, “Break it up, oh I don't understand,
Break it up, I can't comprehend.
Break it up, oh, I want to feel you.
Break it up, don't talk to me that way,
I'm not listening.”<br>Snow started falling,
I could hear the angel calling.
We rolled on the ground, he stretched out his wings.
The boy flew away and he started to sing.
He sang, “Break it up, oh, I don't understand.
Break it up, I can't comprehend.
Break it up, oh, I want to feel you.
Break it up, don't look at me.”<br>
The sky was raging, the boy disappeared,
I fell on my knee
Atmosphere broke up, the boy reappeared.
I cried, “Take me please!”<br>
Ice, it was shining.
I could feel my heart, it was melting.
I tore off my clothes, I danced on my shoes.
I ripped my skin open and then I broke through.
I cried, “Break it up, oh, now I understand.
Break it up, and I want to go.
Break it up, oh please take me with you.
Break it up, I can feel it breaking,
I can feel it breaking, I can feel it breaking,
I can feel, I can feel, I can feel, I can feel.”

So break it up, oh now I'm coming with you.
Break it up, now I'm gonna go.
Break it up, oh, feel me, I'm coming.
Break it up, break it up, break it up,
Break it up, break it up, break it up,
Oh, break it up, break it up, break it up
Break it up, break it up, break it on up
Break it up, break it on up, up, up
Break it, break it, break it, break it
Break it on up, break it up,
Break it up, break it up, break it up ...

All the members of the original line up of Blue Öyster Cult and thier manager Sandy Pearlman who helped promote The Doors gig at Stonybrook U in New York.
They also were big mates with Crawdaddy rock critic Richard Meltzer who wrote many songs for BÖC and loved The Doors.

Patti was also a BÖC groupie. She lived with both keyboard player Alan Lanier and also with drummer Albert Bouchard. She sings on their famous Agents Of Fortune album...

[pep]

I am reading a book on her at the moment she was seeing Alan Lanier and Tom Verlaine from Television at the same time ;D even wrote a song about it called 'We Three' which was on her Easter album she also did a great version of Gloria I have a book of her poetry which also contains a review of 'An American Prayer' which she wrote for a magazine

[pep]

I know The Damned are fans of 'The Doors' they used to play a great version of 'L.A. Woman' ;D also 'The Ramones' who covered 'Take It As It Comes' I have the RAW dvd by The Ramones which has Robby Krieger playing 'Take it as It Comes' live with The Ramones ;D

[flowergirl]

Patti smith... I love her.

the singer from The Cure - Robert Smith was inspired by the doors.

The Stone temple pilots.

Tim Burgess from The Charlatans, apparently they still around, though i missed them play in town recently. I think quite a few of the new british bands around have a very a doorsy sound.

who and who? ;D

I suppose all the dudes on the album stoned Immaculate are prob doors fans.

Bon Jovi was photographed by michelle campbell at Jim's grave, so he prob is.

And, although i dont know whether they are doors fans, but GLC (goldie looking chain - mad welsh geezers) have made a song called self suicide, they are a comedy rap troop. the song mentions jimmy morrison o.d. ing in a bath tub. obvioulsy this is factually wrong, and doesnt at all suggest they are fans, but i like the idea of them being fans.

also snoop dog, due to his remix of ROTS. may have mentioned that earlier......
