The Doors Continue the Legend in 2003
Thursday November 14, 4:58 pm ET
The Doors Announce All-Star Lineup of Ray Manzarek, Robby Krieger, Ian
Astbury and Stewart Copeland
Band Kicks Off With Live Performance at the Palms in Las Vegas on December 
8
and Has Plans to Tour and Record New Music in 2003 LOS ANGELES--(BUSINESS
WIRE)--Nov. 14, 2002-- The Doors, icons of pop culture and musical rock
legends, have announced plans for the new millennium and the group's new
launch and lineup in 2003. Original keyboardist Ray Manzarek and lead
guitarist Robby Krieger will be joined by lead vocalist Ian Astbury (The
Cult) and drummer Stewart Copeland (The Police) to form the new all-star
lineup of the legendary band. Touring and recording again for the first 
time
since the death of lead vocalist Jim Morrison, The Doors will be on the 
road
for selected U.S. dates next spring and in the summer for major European 
and
U.S. tours. They will also be writing and recording material for a new 
Doors
album. The kick-off to the new renaissance of the band will be marked by a
special, intimate performance at The Palms in Las Vegas on Sunday, December
8. The band's decision to reunite came together after performing on "VH1's
Storytellers" in the fall of 2000, and more recently, a special Harley
Davidson event in Los Angeles earlier this year. "The VH1 gig went so well,
that we decided to continue," says Krieger. "It took quite a while after 
our
appearance on `VH1 Storytellers' to put the band back together, but the 
seed
had been planted then." Continues Krieger, "When Harley Davidson called us 
to
perform two shows on their birthday celebration tour, we decided the time 
was
right for this. Thirty years after our last gig was long enough to wait."
Manzarek and Krieger then found replacements for the band's lead vocalist,
with Ian Astbury, and drummer, with Stewart Copeland. At this time, 
original
drummer, John Densmore, will not be re-joining the band due to a severe
tinnitus condition. "Ian Astbury had always expressed a desire to perform
with The Doors, saying that if we ever take it on the road, he wanted to be 
a
part of it," says Manzarek. "We met Ian when he performed on `Storytellers'
with us, and he immediately fit in." Adds Manzarek, "Ian is his own man
singing Doors songs. He's got that Shamanic power and sense of danger about
him that is so Morrison-esque, without being an imitation of Jim Morrison."
Adds Krieger, "We'll never replace Jim, but that's not the point. Ian is
bringing his own interpretations of our music to the stage while, at the 
same
time, giving off a vibe that is very similar to Jim's." On drums, Krieger 
and
Manzarek asked one of rock's finest, Stewart Copeland, to join them. 
"Stewart
said he'd always been a fan of The Doors, and that it would be an honor to
play with us -- so he joined up." Adds Krieger, "Stewart is an exciting
addition; he's a great player." After the band's initial launch at The 
Palms
in Vegas, the band will hit the road this summer for major European and
nationwide U.S. tours (dates and venues TBA). "I think the fans who come to
hear us will hear Doors songs played with a power, a passion and a 
precision
that they may not have seen before," says Manzarek. "I would imagine that
many of the people who come to see us now have not seen The Doors in the
original incarnation. For us, this is very exciting," he adds. The
forthcoming album in 2003 will feature new Doors songs written collectively
by Manzarek, Krieger, Astbury and Copeland. All four will be involved in 
the
creative songwriting process for the new album and have already begun 
writing
new material. Says Manzarek, "The music is Doors-like but new. It's 
different
from The Doors, but decidedly Doors-like. We're going in various directions
musically. "I think the mystery and magic of The Doors music will still be
evident with the new band," says Manzarek. "I think Jim would be thrilled
with this. We're going to be playing and singing Jim's lyrics 30 years 
after
he died. He would be ecstatic. He'd be the first one to say, `go out and do
it.' Jim just wanted everybody to listen to the words." Adds Krieger, "I
think Jim would be happy that we're playing again. I think we've waited 
long
enough. It's time to play again."

Subject: [Police] another reunion!
hey!
look at THIS. if mick and jonesy can do it...
16 NOVEMBER 2002
It had never looked like being an ordinary gig. Acton
Town Hall was filled to capacity with Firefighters and
their supporters. Union leader Andy Gilchrist spoke
about the recent strike and explained that ever since
seeing The Clash at the 1978 Rock Against Racism
Carnival, had wanted to share a stage with Joe.
The band took to the stage with a fantastic reception
from the crowd. In a very relaxed atmosphere they
treated us to a fantastic set. At the end of the set
Gilchrist and a striking firefighter presented Joe
with bronze firefighter statue.
As the band returned for an encore a familiar figure
could be seen by the side of the stage. During
Bankrobber, the unimaginable happened. Mick Jones
joined Joe on stage for the first time in nearly
twenty years. That was followed by White Riot and a
thunderously appreciated version of London's Burning.
Speaking to Mick and Joe afterwards, they assured me
that it had not been planned at all. Mick saying that
the moment just felt right to do it. They both agreed
that it had felt good to be sharing the stage again.
Joe pledged his support to the striking firefighters
and said that all public sector workers needed to be
treated better. They make up the fabric of our society
and should be entitled to a decent standard of living.

This should NOT be called the Doors.
I know there are a few Doors fans here,
and I know that some people are looking forward to this
and will find a positive spin,
but just for the record I hate this idea.
First time in history I'm not into a Stewart project.
Go figure.
What the Hell happened to the Vinx/Clarke/Satriani thing?

Hey all!
I agree, in my opinion, Sting doesnt want a reunion.  Cant your guys feel
that?  Every vibe that Sting gives off in interviews and actions sings of
NO.
I dont blame him.  Solo, he gets to call all of the shots and reap in all
the $$$.
He doesnt have to share glory with anyone.  The stage is his.  The band he
works with now, knows which side their bread is buttered on.  They will go
with anything Sting says.  Oh sure, they have ideas but who do you think
gives the final word?
Thats what I would choose if I were him.  Stands to reason.
Jane
