Since for a long time the USSR was a bit of another galaxy for westerners, there's always a temptation for both sides of the Iron Curtain to draw parallels. 

Who's the Soviet The Doors? Well, bands like that simply could not exist in the USSR since mid-Stalin through later-Gorbachev. Drug-concerned, shamanism, blues - all the forbidden stuff. 

Who's the post-Soviet The Doors on the formerly Soviet soil then? First that came to my mind is the band Nol' - Zero, that is. 

Their two greatest hits: 

Idu, Kuryu - I'm Walking, I'm Smoking (about smoking hashish)


and Chelovek I Koshka - A Man And A Cat (about waiting for a drug dealer) 


Not the same, for sure, but I failed to find a better equivalent. 
Favourite Band: Gentle Giant
Favourite Writer: Robert Sheckley
Favourite Horror Writer: Jean Ray
Favourite Computer Game: Tiny Toon - Buster's Hidden Treasure (Sega Mega Drive/Genesis)

A blast from my childhood from a Canadian TV show:



Loved the Doors, and an "underrated" keyboardist:



As for the Doors of the 21st Century, good cover band. I'd like to hear them do "21st Century Schizoid Man" as the Doors.



SCTV is the BEST.SmileLOLClap
Shake & bake.

Thanks Logan, for posting the Rick Moranis "Turning Japanese" video. I loved it! Thumbs Up
 
I can't say I loved "Light My Fire" being shredded though. LOL

What's this obsession you have with "trolling"? There are no trolls that I know of here at ProgArchives. The only trolls I know of live under bridges. I posted the Mike Flowers Pops "Argentina" video in response to gr8Dane showing an interest in the band, but if you don't like it, then you can just "Walk On By" Smile

^ As I've said before, that's not trolling, that's rock 'n' rolling. Thumbs Up
 
You just never know where these tribute threads are going to lead. Who would have guessed that a tribute thread to The Doors would also lead to a tribute to The Mike Flowers Pops, due to their "Light My Fire" connection. Smile

Yes, The Mike Flowers Pops are actually a parody of the sixties band, Harpers Bizarre. Notice the resemblance between the two blonde-haired frontmen.  Smile

Good God, the mind boggles.. what a strange outfit that would have been!! Could well be just another of those urban myths that were generated ten-a-penny back then but what a band that would have been!
 
At least Howard Werth couldn't be accused of trying to imitate Jim Morrison if he HAD joined The Doors, and he may have attracted a big Audience. Smile

LOL boom boom ting!

^ Yes, I believe some of The Mike Flowers Pops songs featured in the Austin Powers movies. They're pretty good though, for a parody band.  Smile
