If you’re serious about music, you will appreciate the massive influence The Doors have had since their formation in 1965. With seminal tracks like ‘Light My Fire’ (1967), ‘The End’ (1967) and ‘Riders on the Storm’ (1971), and their pioneering psychedelic stage shows, they helped to take music in a whole new direction.

The band’s enigmatic frontman, Jim Morrison, died in mysterious circumstances in the summer of 1971. The official story says he died of heart failure, aggravated by heavy drinking, in the bath at his Paris apartment, but others claim he died of a heroin overdose in the toilet of a nightclub he was running and that drug dealers covered this up by moving his corpse.

Whatever really happened, he lives on through the music, poetry, films, artwork and spoken words he left behind.

But his death didn’t signal the end of the band – they continued as a three-piece, going on to release 2 poorly-received albums before splitting up in 1973.

In 2002, organist Ray Manzarek and guitarist Robby Krieger got back together under the name ‘The Doors of the 21st Century’. Ian Astbury, former frontman of The Cult, was drafted in as the new lead singer, and Angelo Barbera became the new bassist. Drumming duties were initially handed to Stewart Copeland (The Police), but he broke his arm falling of a bicycle and left the band following a legal battle. He was replaced by Ty Dennis, before Densmore filed an injunction against the band using the name they had chosen. In 2005, Densmore and Jim Morrison’s estate won an injunction stopping them from using The Doors’ name.

But it looks like preventing the bastardisation of the memory of a truly great band is no longer top of Densmore’s to-do list – he has now teamed up with Skrillex, hugely popular purveyor of what many people regard as little more than digitised flatulence at 140 beats per minute.

We don’t have a problem with dubstep, we just think this Skrillex chap lacks a touch of subtlety, and might also benefit from exposing himself occasionally to the sun’s life-giving rays.

When Skrillex collaborated with Korn on their new album, we weren’t especially surprised, but this latest hook-up is just not right. See for yourselves…

Apparently, it was created for the Re:Generation documentary, in which 5 DJs ‘reimagine’ various forms of traditional music.

We think this proves that, sometimes, it’s best to just leave things alone. Do you agree? Let us know!

And before you leave… we have some great tees inspired by The Doors – be sure to take a look.
