Formed in 1965 by UCLA film school students, the original band included the hypnotic keyboards of Ray Manzarek, the unique guitar stylings of Robby Krieger, and the resonant, haunting voice of Jim Morrison, whose demise in 1971 became as legendary as the band's music.

However short-lived, the Doors' legacy continues to captivate rock fans of all ages. Director Oliver Stone cast Val Kilmer as Jim Morrison in the Bio-pic "The Doors" in 1991.

Manzarek and Krieger formed the new band at the invitation of Harley-Davidson motorcycle company, who wanted the two to headline a couple of their 100-year anniversary gigs. The Doors of the 21st Century is the result, led by Manzarek and Krieger plus singer Ian Astbury, known for his powerful vocals in The Cult. The group is rounded out by Angelo Barbera on bass and Ty Dennis on drums.
