The remaining members of the Doors, are still The Doors. As far as I know, they have done quite a bit as a group since Jim died (not immediately, but recently).

Bright Midnight Records, a label formed by The Doors Music Company, intended to make available from The Doors' archives almost thirty hours of mostly live, unreleased material as well as some rare studio-recorded gems.

The three Doors, John Densmore, Robby Krieger and Ray Manzarek, as well as Danny Sugerman, the Doors' manager, got together, going through every song of every live show that was recorded.

I always keep up with new releases of all kinds of archived songs by going to The Doors website (yes, the remaining members of the Doors have a website) CLICK HERE

Yet, even though the unstable member of the band is gone, they still cant seem to get along very well. There have been extensive contracts made,........and contracts broken. 

For example:

In February of 2003, John Densmore (the drummer) tries to sue The Doors (Robby Krieger and Ray Manzarek).  Densmore filed a suit in the Los Angeles Superior Court seeking unspecified damages.

More than anything, he claims that he simply wants the Manzarek/Krieger/Astbury/Copeland combo to cease using the name "The Doors." Densmore maintains that The Doors have a written and oral agreement that the name and logo can only be used by original members of the band.

It seems that John Densmore isn't so thrilled about Ian Astbury (formerly singer for The Cult) replacing Jim Morrison, and that they replaced him self (John was out with some ear problems) with Stewart Copeland (formerly drummer for The Police)

The Doors - well the TWO remaining Doors that are still playing- have changed the name now:

The Doors,21st Century

Stewart Copeland is out of The Doors, just months after being announced as their new drummer and it is already getting nasty. Copeland is now suing Doors members Ray Manzerek and Robbie Krieger giving them their second legal problem with a drummer.

As it turns out Copeland was not used on the upcoming Doors album creating a bonus royalty win fall for Ray and Robbie. He is suing for a reported $1m claiming breach of oral contract after not only being left off the album but also the upcoming tour.

The Doors revitalized career is suffering another setback. Now the parents of Jim Morrison are suing Ray Manzerek and Robbie Krieger. In a suit filed in the Los Angeles Supreme Court George and Clara Morrison are claiming the current Doors activity is "maliciously misappropriating" the good name of The Doors and that the current members are using the poetry and image of their son Jim without permission. The new suit from the Morrison family states "The plaintiffs recently discovered that defendants Krieger, Manzerek and Astbury have along with another individual who is unknown to the plaintiffs formed a rock band to when the defendants have variously referred and / or caused others to refer in advertising, interviews, personal appearances, the internet and other promotional medial as The Doors or variations of The Doors where The Doors is emphasised.

GEEEEZ...When will it all end??

The Morrison family are joined in their pursuit by Pearl Courson, the mother of Jim's late common law wife Pamela. The Morrison / Courson family own 25% of the business of The Doors with Ray Manzerek, Robbie Krieger and John Densmore.

If you have ever bought a Doors record, if ever you were a fan, do yourself a favour, The Doors Storytellers is a MUST HAVE.

This VH1 Storytellers special demonstrates a remarkable band. The inclusion of the guest singers enhance the sound of the band but stays true to the original Morrison essence. Every song performed on this special is remarkable and a tribute to the original.

Perry Farrell from Jane's Addiction is featured for a short moment only unfortunately in the opening credits. Train's Pat Monahan totally surprised me. His band Train don't come near the passion of this performance. The Cult's Ian Astbury fits this band like a glove. It is like he becomes Morrison on "Whiskey Bar", Back Door Man" and "Wild Child".

Creed's Scott Stapp is likewise comfortable in the line-up doing "Light My Fire", "Five To One" and the all time classic "Riders On The Storm". Stone Temple Pilot's Scott Weiland does "Break On Through" and "Five To One" but Travis Meeks from Days Of A New totally nails Jim's epic "The End".
