The Grammy Performance By The Doors That You Never Saw



The three surviving members of The Doors, Ray Manzarek, Robbie Krieger and John Densmore have done a new music video segment for the upcoming ReGeneration Music Project Film with the electronic act, Skrillex. All three played on the song, "Breakin' A Sweat". But, you didn't see The Doors performing this song on the Grammys this year thanks to drummer John Densmore, who refused to join the other two members for a stage performance thanks to an ongoing feud. Densmore even went to the efforts to sue the other band members when they attempted to sell the song, "Break On Through" to Cadillac, so Cadillac had to use Led Zeppelin's "Rock And Roll" instead, some years back. And Densmore prevented the other two band members from using The Doors name when they sought to resurrect the band as The Doors Of The 21st Century.


At some point, fans of the legendary band can only hope that they can put all of their problems behind them. But, for this year's Grammys, no Doors onstage reunion.
