 The Doors - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
At their first concert the group announced that drummer John Densmore would not perform, and it was later reported that he was unable to play because he suffered from tinnitus.
Densmore was initially replaced by Stewart Copeland, formerly of The Police, but after Copeland broke his arm falling off a bicycle, the arrangement ended in mutual lawsuits and he was replaced by Ty Dennis, drummer with Krieger's band.
Densmore has also been steadfast in refusing to license The Doors' music for use in television commercials, including an offer of $15 million by Cadillac to lease the song "Break on Through (to the Other Side)", feeling that that would be in violation of the spirit in which the music was created.

Il gruppo è nato artisticamente nel 1965 a Los Angeles, California (USA), dopo un incontro tra Morrison e Manzarek, entrambi studenti di una scuola cinematografica, occasione nella quale Morrison (che sarà poi soprannominato il re lucertola per gli ammiccamenti sessuali con cui accompagnava le sue esibizioni) fece ascoltare a Manzarek la propria canzone "Moonlight Drive".
Manzarek faceva parte di una band chiamata Rick and The Raven, mentre Krieger e Densmore suonavano con un gruppo chiamato The Psychedelic Rangers; i tre si conobbero ad una lezione comune di meditazione trascendentale.
La musica dei Doors tende a focalizzarsi attorno alle evoluzioni alla tastiera di Ray Manzarek, che era solito suonare con la mano sinistra le parti tipicamente associate con il basso elettrico, mentre Robbie Krieger alla chitarra suonava con delle influeze di flamenco, indiane, pezzi blues e di musica classica.

 Montreal Mirror : Music : John Densmore and Reza Derakshani
We’re discussing the somewhat imaginary divide between the proverbial red and blue states in his country, but that idea, of an opposition to which there is less than meets the eye, applies at least as strongly to the political and cultural gap between Iran and the West.
The reason for this line of inquiry is Densmore’s concert with his Iranian friend and collaborator Reza Derakshani, painter, composer and multi-instrumentalist.
What followed was Derakshani visiting Densmore in California, and the remarkably fast and spontaneous creation of the album Ray of the Wine, with Derakshani on vocals and various Persian instruments, Densmore drumming and producing, and his band Tribaljazz backing the duo up.
