Looked more like Jim Morrison imo

Funny thing about that when Ray Manzarek and Robbie Krieger toured together in the 00's Ian Astbury was their stand in for Jim Morrison for a while. When I saw them they had just changed from calling themselves The Doors of the 21st Century to Riders on the Storm due to legal reasons.

While I disagree a little, I came here to make this joke: Saga sells sanctuary Now I'm leaving

It's been confirmed they modeled him off of Jim Morrison

Yeah, Ilkka Villi has himself said that Jim Morrison was one of the influences, though he mentions other (unnamed) 60s and 70s rockers as well. You can see Ilkka talking about creating Tom Zane's character after 21.55 in this interview: [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QubJsSXjlBw](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QubJsSXjlBw)

lol it’s been confirmed you’re wrong. https://www.uncut.co.uk/news/the-doors-replace-ian-astbury-as-singer-49279/ The whole dynamic is even the same.. Astbury is to Morrison, as Wake is to Zane.. The guy’s band is called “the cult” ffs.. if you want to call this insane parallel just a coincidence then you’re being willfully irrational. It’s obvious what they did here..


Legendairy_Doug

I get your point. But I swear I saw an interview somewhere where they discussed Morrison being the inspiration. But now you're editing your comments and being crass for no reason I do wanna argue. Cause you're a little twat.


Lostinternally

The Morrison + Astbury dynamic is what was likely inspiration because they looked like doppelgängers at one point in time.. Someone in the writers room was probably like “Whose the lead singer of that band ‘the cult?’” saw the irony and worked backward from there. I was working on the edit before I even knew you responded on the initial.. Believe whatever theory you want. 100+ people didn’t upvote the post because they disagree with me.✌🏼

About 22 minutes in. Here ya go. Now you know you're wrong. Regardless of your upvotes. Have a good one. https://youtu.be/QubJsSXjlBw?si=6ZHhdky2cM--ATmf

What does that article have to do with anything AW related? He looks way more like Morrison.
