Correct me if I'm wrong but wasn't Densmore also part of this 'Doors' revival thing in the beginning. I remember reading about him having carpal tunnel syndrom or something and not being able to play drums/tour anymore.
Obviously they replaced him with Copeland then (who got fired later) and Densmore started suing them.
It's all a bit strange but remember that back in the day the 3 remaining Doors went on to make 2 more albums after Morrison died. This time though they decided to 'clone' the Lizard king, and that's where it gets laughable, IMO.
Some Doors Tribute CD was released a few years ago, it featured Krieger and Manzarek among others, and I remember a reviewer saying that's it's slightly creepy having members of the Doors perform on their own tribute album.
I doubt that this 'Doors 2000' thing (or whatever it's called) is very profitable, they surely won't be playing arenas. Let's hope that they didn't sign their publishing away though, now THAT is a lucrative thing as you know.
My thing is that the Doors made one terrific album, their debut, and even if they'd never played a note after that, their place in the rock Olymp would still be secured.
(I would hate to miss 'Moonlight Ride' and 'Riders on the storm' though!)
Man, what a great record that still is, I'll have to listen to it today.
