RIP Ray Manzarek

I was a huge Doors fan in my teenage years. We lost Ray today at age 74.

Been there, James. I had tickets to Janis Joplin, for two weeks AFTER she died.

I'm 37 and heard "Light My Fire" for the first time when I was in 4th grade and since could tell you virtually any fact about Jim, Ray, Robbie, John and everyone surrounding them. I had to count, I have 28 books on The Doors and countless records, CDs, DVDs, MP3s and anything you can think of media related to them. To say I am a fan, is an understatement.

Back in the days of record stores I was like one of the characters in "High Fidelity" chasing down all the rare Europe and Asia release only and ordering anything that was not available to the masses lol.

Ray was amazingly intelligent.

I was raised on Ray and the boys, my Mom was a huge Doors fan, and I've loved them my whole life. R.I.P. to my favorite keyboardist of all time.

Listened to "LA Woman" on the way home yesterday and was really impressed with his work on that song. That inspired me to listen to their first two albums back to back once I got home. He was not only well spoken, but very talented.

Wife is a huge Doors fan. RIP Ray.

maninblack · 05-20-2013, 06:56 PM

Love The Doors...He will be missed

drjammer · 05-21-2013, 08:34 AM

R.I.P. Ray. The Doors is my all time favorite band, so thanks Ray for all the great music!

tsolomon · 05-21-2013, 08:48 AM

Still a fan, RIP Ray.

irratebass · 05-21-2013, 11:07 AM

Huge Doors fan, sad to hear this. R.I.P.

pektel · 05-21-2013, 11:24 AM

Saw Robbie a couple times over the past 2 years. Sadly never got to see Ray. May he rest in peace.

Two things are funny to me about this post. One that it is only one page after 24 hours, for such a rock icon.
Second is the fact that it was halfway through the day yesterday before I realized we were NOT Talking about an
ex-NFL great from the Raiders. I had to click on the Yahoo-article in order to remember what I already knew.
Then I laughed that I had thought it was a NFL player for half a day.
