One down, one to go for the Doors
Published June 04, 2003
More on the fated Doors reunion. Former Police drummer Stewart Copeland who was drumming for the reformed Doors until he fell out with original members Ray Manzarek and Robby Krieger has come to an amicable compromise. Copeland sued the band for breach of contract, alleging that the pair broke a promise to use him during the tour and on an upcoming studio album. But all parties have now reached a settlement.
Manzarek currently touring with Kreiger and a new band as The Doors of the
21st Century said, "We're glad we were able to resolve this matter, and we
wish Stewart all the success in the future."
Original Doors drummer John Densmore, who also sued Manzerek and Krieger,
claiming they used the Doors name without his permission is, from what we
hear, still very much aggrieved.
Marty's band, Growing Old Disgracefully, can be found at: Disgraceful Music. His Cthulhu tales can be found at Temple of Dagon.

Densmore is such a baby! He was a whiner when he was in the Doors, now he's just picking up where he left off. I loved his drumming, always did and always will, but philosophically he's never really been a Door. In music and name only..... Just because he can't hang anymore shouldn't stop Ray and Robbie from moving on.
