Does anyone know if Eddie was invited to this? I think both Scott Stapp of Creed and Scott Weiland of STP performed.

The surviving members of the Doors did a savvy thing with this hourlong session of VH-1 Storytellers, first broadcast in early 2001. Knowing that they could never replace their late and legendary frontman, Jim Morrison, the Doors (Ray Manzarek, Robbie Krieger, and John Densmore) invited vocalists from a variety of hot bands to offer their own interpretations of eight classic Doors hits. The spectre of Morrison looms over the entire set, reminding us that the charismatic, leather-clad Lizard King could never, ever be matched in terms of vocal style, depth, and heart-rending soul. It's best, then, to let these admiring young rockers enjoy this opportunity to pay reverent homage, and they do it with considerable skill. Above it all, the remaining Doors form a solid trio, still lighting fire to songs they've performed thousands of times.

Patrick Monahan (from Train) kicks off with a sharp rendition of "Love Me Two Times," and the Cult's Ian Astbury tries (almost successfully) to bring a medley of "Whiskey Bar/Backdoor Man" up to Morrison's level. The highlight comes from Days of the New's Travis Meeks, whose performance of "The End" is fresh, impassioned, and altogether triumphant. Nearly as good is Stone Temple Pilots' Scott Weiland (clearly a Morrison worshipper), who burns through "Break On Through" and "Five to One" with adequate fervor. Creed's Scott Stapp closes with "Light My Fire" (proving that the original is still untouchable) and a rafter-rattling "Roadhouse Blues." Each performance is noteworthy, and die-hard Doors fans shouldn't miss this latter-day celebration. Younger listeners who are less aware of Morrison's legacy are best served, in the long run; they get the best of both worlds, old and new. --Jeff Shannon

Astbury and Meeks are the only ones worth mentioning. The rest stunk.

i would like to hear all but stapp

I would think the one person who would get invited would be Eddie considering that he did the R&R Hall Of Fame stint.

I love how Travis Meeks had the ball to play The End. Then he kicked its fucking ass. He brought down the house with that version.

Days of the new is a really underrated band. Their second album is excellent.

you and i agree!!

except ALL of their albums are excellent

did you know meeks is a meth addict and has hit rock bottom?

i saw him on a PBS special on meth.. it was so sad to see. he was only 17 when days started.. and like 18 when they hit it big. i had no idea.

they actually broke up cause his addiction to meth.

Fabiani's got a real talent for making threads about other bands that remain in PJ chat.

He was invited, but turned it down. I read it in an article somewhere, but I'm way too lazy to find it.

They didn't break up because of his meth issues. They broke up way before that because Travis wanted the band to go in a different direction. They wanted to write songs similar to the first album(basically an AIC rip-off), he wanted to expand the sound and he did it brilliantly with the second album

We can only agree a little bit then. I like scattered songs on I +III (hang on to this and where are you on III are really awesome) but II is the only one i'll listen to from start to finish

lmao... I think stapp proves that any song he sings could be better if it were original

For once, I am in complete and total agreement with you.

Stupid Stapp had a lot of problems hitting some of the higher notes the songs called for and was quite flat on a couple of them.
