A couple months ago, John Densmore hinted that he and his former Doors bandmate Robby Krieger had buried the hatchet after a long feud and were even considering doing a tribute show for Doors keyboardist Ray Manzarek, who died of cancer in May. Seems it wasn't just idle chitchat: Krieger now says that tribute concert could happen early next year.
John Densmore and Robby Krieger were best friends when they were in the Doors, but then they started suing each other and their relationship turned sour. After more than a decade of animosity, they're reconnecting and may play a tribute to their former bandmate Ray Manzarek, who died of cancer in May.
It appears after the death of Jim Morrison, The Doors struggled heavily to get a decent reception on any post Morrison albums. 'Full Circle' was no exception. The album was released in August 1972.
The first two albums without Jim were anything but well received. The Doors had officially disbanded five years earlier decided to give it more more go with 'An American Prayer', released in November 1978.
Bring back the edgy sound and that's just what The Doors did. 'Morrison Hotel' released in February 1970 featured John Sebastian (Lovin' Spoonful) used the pseudonym G.Puglese and played harmonica on "Roadhouse Blues". The album also featured blues guitar specialist Lonnie Mack on bass.
Let's welcome the horns and strings and that's just what The Doors did on "The Soft Parade" which was released in July 1969. Unfortunately the album was not as successful as the first three albums because the sound was way different than what The Doors had established.
