The doors unhinged by john densmore5/27/2023 ![]() ![]() Krieger and Manzarek, in turn, countersued Densmore for $40 million for not allowing the Doors hit, Break On Through, to be used in a 2003 Cadillac commercial.ĭensmore, who suffers from tinnitus (ringing in his ears), eventually emerged the legal victor. "There was 20,000 pages of transcripts which I skimmed, narrowed it down to 500 and then I thought, 'I don't want this to be a dry courtroom book.'"ĭensmore sued Krieger, 67, and Manzarek, who died from cancer in May of this year at the age of 74, over their use of the band's name as a 2002 touring act - The Doors of the 21st Century - without himself or the late singer Jim Morrison in the lineup. "It was a lot of work," said Densmore, 68, whose previous Doors book was his best-selling 1990 autobiography, Riders on The Storm. Only now has The Doors drummer John Densmore released his new book, The Doors Unhinged Jim Morrison's Legacy Goes On Trial, about his nasty six-year legal battle with former bandmates - Doors guitarist Robby Krieger and keyboardist Ray Manzarek - that began in 2004. ![]()
