John Densmore is a trained jazz drummer. Hard to fuck with.
Robbie Kreiger one of the finest pickless guitarists in the rock world. Again, Jazz influenced musicians are hard to fuck with.
Ray, check out X and his other PUNK contributions. Manzarek is the man.
Jim was great but never knock the band, jim was NOT THE ONLY door, without the others there would have never been a Doors, jim would have been drunk or on acid and done nothing, he dropped out of the UCLA film school to do drugs, keep that in mind.
the Doors band kicks ass without Jim.
have you ever heard the 'American Prayer album?' most of that was done AFTER he was dead, all the music is the Doors without jim ;)

Yeah you are absolutley right, often however, the lead vocalist is the most recognizable part of the band
some lead singers are so incredibly talented, that they pretty much make the group
Ian Astbury does a great job of not trying to be Jim Morrison, from what little I have seen, so far
and yes I would be beating down the door to get tickets if they came around this neck of the woods
so far I have still Moody blues and David lee roth to look forward to in the next little bit and we just finished seeing Bruce Springsteen and Joe Cocker in the past month or so... both were great
