Manzarek has said about the latest vocalist to join them: “Brett is on board and we are glad to have him, he has a great voice and a lot of charisma.”

Guitarist Krieger has added: “Jim Morrison can never be replaced, but this project has never been about that. It’s about giving a voice to the body of work we created with Jim in a live setting.”
