i really can't help but to hear a little jim morrison in ian. it's the way he sings, and the poetic lyrics. not so much the music though. anyone else get that vibe.

@MrPs0711 When you put it that way, you're right. I guess my first impression was something along the lines of 'evil', just based on how it sounded.

[MrPs0711]

@MrPs0711 ...but, that doesn't mean, again, he was evil. Morrison was the life of the party, with a very dark side. Ian, to me, seems like the wall-flower, the man afraid to speak, but deep down has a good heart. He just seems lost in the struggle for who he is & which way he wants to go ("Soulless and bent on destruction, a struggle between right & wrong). Think of 'Atrocity Exhibition', it is what he thinks of the world - it's full of evil & those who watch & profit from it & he can't take it.

[MrPs0711]

@TheSayianOverlord I have to totally disagree. I find nothing evil in Ian's lyrics. Here is a man who is truly depressed ("Existence well what does it matter, I exist on the best terms I can"-"Mother I've tried please believe me, I'm doing the best that I can, I'm ashamed of the things I've been put through, I'm ashamed of the person I am"-Even their "pop hit", 'Love Will Tear Us Apart' is full of desperation) but that doesn't mean he's evil. Ian struggled with his demons, there is no doubt...

@AllKindsaGirls morrison was a big influence on curtis

[smsnl1]

@angdemo69 fantástico!

[TheSayianOverlord]

@AllKindsaGirls There's definitely a major similarity in the voice/vocals. But I think Curtis and Morrison differ in lyrical content. I'd say Ian is like Jim's evil twin.

Friedrich Nietzsche´s favorite rock song.

To me this is like a colaboration of mr Jim Morrison and Dead Can Dance.. therefore awesome!
