Wouldn't it simply have been easier to take Densmore on tour with them?

I am submitter and I did RFA and this article encompasses not just this thing they talk about but his desperate attempt to revive the doors thru one incantation or other or to try to pimp doors songs for commercials so that what I meant....

See Jim had these crazy ideas of not selling out his ideas to corporation, a crazy notion the drummer kept all these years... Kudos for the drummer (densmore) for being the only live human associated to the Doors with the notion that some things are better left alone. Raping what once was, either thru commercials or shiatty reunions only deprecate what once was

Manzarek seems like a good guy, but that farker would have been responsible for some of my favorite songs being reduced to jingles for gum or junk food...

And don't ever again say you are reuniting the doors not for yourself but "the people man, its about giving them what they want" that's BS

Only brain damaged morons have any interest in seeing your 50+ year old ass on stage with a washed up ian astbury....fark that.
Why can't you accept that the doors died in a bathtub on june 3rd 1971?

Ray Manzarek had more talent in his pinky than Jim Morrison had in his entire pretty-boy body.

There. I said it.

The Doors were a lame attempt at hipster-drug-rock-fusion. Or something.

They had hits, but so did a lot of other shiatty bands. The hits were there, but the band sucked, most due to Morrison's over-the-top antics. He wasn't out to accomplish anything but anarchy. Perhaps you could call him a proto-punk, but most punks aren't spaced out spiritualists. If Morrison were smarter, he'd not have been so reckless, and possibly could've grown into an artist that had something to say to move things forward, rather than a bunch of bravado pulled out of his arse for the sake of pandering to his niche. As it is, the fire snuffed itself, and the obit's been written.
There is nothing more.
Thanks, Jim, you "artiste" you.

Um, Manzarek wrote nothing. He was a glorified session player. Morrison wrote about half the songs, and the other half were from Krieger.

I went to a Krieger show in Atlantic City once. I ended up drinking and player poker with him. He's a nice guy, great guitarist, but had very few words. He looked completely burned out.

Funny, I heard Morrison didn't write anything except lyrics.

Nope, he had musical ideas which he tried to remember WITH the aid of lyrics, and then work those ideas out w/the other Doors.
