Los Angeles, CA -- Members of The Doors and their management today expressed their support for U.K. DJ Paul Edge and his “Unlock the Doors” tour, which begins its U.S. leg June 3 at Element in Seattle.
 
Edge’s remixes include “Riders on the Storm,” “Five to One,” “The Soft Parade,” “Strange Days”, Light My Fire and others.  Details can be found at www.unlockthedoors.com, which is linked to the home page of TheDoors.com.
 
Although scheduling conflicts will prevent guitarist Robby Krieger, keyboardist Ray Manzarek and Ray’s son, Pablo, from attending the Seattle opening as initially planned – and sharing some new remixes of their own – the band members underscored their enthusiasm for Edge’s work.
 
“We’re inspired by Paul’s creativity and imagination,” Ray Manzarek declared.  “He’s taken our original tracks to some incredible new places. We really regret not being able to be there when he unveils this project in Seattle, because we think audiences will be blown away. Pablo and I are going to do everything we can to hit one of the other dates on the tour.”
 
Manzarek added that intends to participate in a phone interview with a Seattle radio station in connection with the tour.  Details are forthcoming.
 
Added manager Jeffrey Jampol, “We fully endorse Paul’s project – in fact we consider ourselves fans.  Everybody here is disappointed that we can’t make the Seattle date, but we wanted to make it clear that Paul has not only our seal of approval but also our gratitude.”
