“Los Angeles based Strange Days performed Riders On a Storm (The Doors classic) on Saturday, June 25, 2011 at the Sherman Oaks Galleria. The performance was part of Galleria “LIVE!”, the free concert series hosted by the Sherman Oaks Galleria.”
There are plenty of Jim Morrison impersonators, perhaps especially not just in California, but in Los Angeles. But the guy from the Strange Days Band, has Morrison's look and sound down. I think the real Lizard King would've been in love with this guy's concho belt and black leather jeans.

I’m a big Doors fan like many people, especially Jim Morrison himself and how he presented himself, as well as his talent as far as a performer, his intelligence, his ability to communicate, and his ability to write and sing.
As many other people I see him as a rock god and someone who would’ve been a no-brainer for the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame had he lived a normal life as far as years. And had he gotten his act together (so to speak) sobered up and got back to business.
Because The Lizard King has so many fans, there are now never Doors cover bands and Jim Morrison covers. Strange Days is the best Doors cover band that I’ve seen and their lead vocalist is the best Morrison cover that I’ve seen. Except for perhaps his hair being a bit longer than the real Lizard King, he has the size and look of the Lizard King down.
The Morrison cover has The Lizard King down: the patent Jim Morrison skin-tight black leather jeans, with the cowboy boots and the concho belt and he is able to move in that outfit and of course his voice. And the band itself has the sound of the Doors down. And they do a great job of playing The Doors.
