People are strange. Would you Stones-fans accept a Mick-Jagger look-alike with similar voice as new frontman of the Stones? So why do you expect Doors-fans to do so?
The Doors died with Jim.

You can´t raise the dead. What´s gone is gone forever. Jim was 80% of The Doors, there was no sense for Manzarek-Krieger to go on calling themselves "Doors" or "Doors Of The 21st Century". Most Doors-Fans will have refused to attend the concerts anyway. To reactivate The Doors was a crying shame and I totally understand Densmore for not joining this comedy-act.

To revise my previous statement, it seems a little silly to reproduce the Doors sound without Jim Morrison.
But the Grateful Dead are doing so without Jerry Garcia.

And countless other bands have done it. Deep Purple, Black Sabbath etc.

But these bands at least did not recrute look-alikes or sound-alikes of their original singers. And they recorded new material. Some you can replace, some you can´t. Jim Morrison is one of them,the other is Mick Jagger.

While some of the regrouping projects work and some don't you can't blame these guys for trying to make a living and doing so with whatever method they can. I say meh on the risk of destroying legacies since all those original records are there to stand on their own.

Queen did the same, didn't they ?
I think the good question could be :"did the musician enjoy playing together and did the audience enjoy the show ?"
if the vibes are good, why not ?

I saw the Olivier Stone's movie as a kid and I did not like at all the Jim character ...
it took me years to realize how good in fact the Doors are.

This is just sad. Its one thing for Ray and Robbie to go out and play the old hits for fans, but to have what can only be called a second rate Morrison tribute singer to front them was pretty pathetic.
Imagine if Mick died and the Stones went out on tour with the lead singer of the Blushing Brides?
