“the Doors trying to make one last dollar”
That would be the horrifying Ian Astbury infested “Doors of the 21st Century” thing.
Ugh.
IMO, the ONLY person on earth who *might* have been able to pull off continuing without Jim, was Billy Idol, who was actually slated to play Jim in the movie, but was badly injured in a motorcycle crash.
Some bands can go on after their “front” is gone but it’s rare.
There is no Stone Temple Pilots without Scott Weiland and no Alice In Chains without Layne Staley.
Queen fiddled around with the weird choice of Paul Rodgers and then the fruity Adam Lambert.
Some other bands know when to just stop, like Type O Negative.
When Pete died, TON was done and they wisely let it go.
/didn’t like “Van Hagar”, either
:D
It's not as good, but Jerry Cantrell is still the heart and soul of AIC.
One band that did well, even better after their lead singer died was AC/DC.
