It's part of the Playing for Change project, and also features Foo Fighters' Rami Jaffee.

"We were just writing these songs. I was hoping I could pay the rent for 10 years," the drummer tells UCR now.

Doors Week continues on the B Rock Notes. It was 46 years ago this week (July 3rd, 1971) that Jim Morrison was found dead in a bathtub in Paris, France.

The Doors will follow up the new limited-edition 'London Fog 1966' box with more archival releases in 2017.

Formerly estranged Doors bandmates John Densmore and Robby Krieger will join forces next month to pay tribute to the band's late co-founders, Jim Morrison and Ray Manzarek.

John Densmore is eager to put the ugliness of his recent court battles behind him and surviving Doors bandmate, Robby Krieger.

A couple months ago, John Densmore hinted that he and his former Doors bandmate Robby Krieger had buried the hatchet after a long feud and were even considering doing a tribute show for Doors keyboardist Ray Manzarek, who died of cancer in May. Seems it wasn't just idle chitchat: Krieger now says that tribute concert could happen early next year.

John Densmore and Robby Krieger were best friends when they were in the Doors, but then they started suing each other and their relationship turned sour. After more than a decade of animosity, they're reconnecting and may play a tribute to their former bandmate Ray Manzarek, who died of cancer in May.

Despite years of legal battles, Doors drummer John Densmore says he achieved closure with Ray Manzarek before his band-mate's death last month.

News of Doors keyboardist Ray Manzarek's death sent grief through the rock community yesterday (May 20), with many of his peers sharing their sadness via social networks. Perhaps none was more keenly felt, however, than that of Manzarek's longtime musical partner, Doors drummer John Densmore.
