I know that. I don’t remember Ed specifically mentioning them as an influence, tho.

He did induct them into the hall of fame


From what I gather from the induction, he didn't know a whole lot about them and he said he drove from Seattle to LA and listened to the Doors the whole way. He was impressed that in just 6 years they made as many good songs as they did. IIRC, there also was a '96 Paris show where he talked about visiting Morrison's grave, then the band went into an improv version of "Roadhouse Blues".

In short, I don't think The Doors were a huge influence on the band, but maybe more indirectly. Meaning artist they liked were influenced by them. I remember people saying the "Alive" solo had elements of "Five To One" in it, but Mike says that was from a Kiss song, and Ace Frehley said he lifted it from Robby Krieger, so that is a case of an indirect influence.

I feel like the Doors / PJ thing was thrusted upon them by the media, and was centered around EV being some modern Jim Morrison. Felt like something that was started in a Teen Beat magazine.

Could be - definitely more of an EV -> Jim Morrison thing than a PJ ->Doors connection

I watched the speeches and performance again tonight. Two things I really enjoyed were that Alive with Krusen and how much louder the applause was for Mike more than anyone else. Fuck you guys, Mike is a cool motherfucker.

Ed singing with The Doors at their HOF induction is still one of my favs from the 90s bootleg era

Make sure you hit the pinball room. It's pretty kick-ass.

I see Mrs B is pointing to the Bon Jovi plaque. Mrs Wease would be doing the same thing. :(
