These are people I admire and to receive the award in front of them felt good. The guitar player from Queen was there… then there was Eric Idle whom I had a high-five with on the way up to the stage. Then I heard Henry Rollins was presenting the award to me, so I went. JOHN DENSMORE: Well, when first approached, I wasn't going to attend because I'm not really a heavy metal guy and Sammy Hagar and Ozzy are not really my cup of meat. Can you tell us what that award meant to you personally and professionally? Henry Rollins, a friend of Stay Thirsty, presented the award to you. You have been busy lately and congrats on your recent Inspiration Award. STAY THIRSTY: John, thank you for spending time with us today. Stay Thirsty Magazine was fortunate to catch up with him at his home in Los Angeles for this conversation.
He is the author of two books about the band, Riders On The Storm and The Doors Unhinged – Jim Morrison's Legacy Goes On Trial, and speaks frequently about his experiences with the band and afterward. He was an integral player in the band's influence on Rock and Roll and is ranked in the top 100 Drummers of all-time by Rolling Stone. A musician, songwriter and author, Densmore joined The Doors in 1965 and remained a member until the band dissolved in 1973. John Densmore, the drummer for The Doors, was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame with the band in 1993.
