It all originated in 2003 when densmore filed a lawsuit for “usufruct of the image and name of The Doors”Against the other two members, because the latter went on a touted tour called“The Doors of the 21st Century".
densmore did not object to the duo playing the group's original music on this tour, but asked that the name or any image from the era of Morrison, request that was ignored by manzarek y kreiger.
This is not the first discussion among the remnant members of this grouping: densmore also rejected that the original music of The Doors It is used for commercial purposes, something to which the other members agreed without hesitation given the enormous offer that was sent to them by important companies, such as Apple Lossless Audio CODEC (ALAC), o Cadillac.
"Jim was always adamant when it came to starring in commercials, and Densmore tries to honor that memory.”, It was said in court.
Wherever Morrison you are, you must be smiling ...
