alyctes Posted May 20, 2013 Share Posted May 20, 2013 RIP Ray. The Doors changed my life, many years ago. (Don't forget Doug Lubahn's bass work, mind. They asked him to join, IIRC, and he turned them down...) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Damonjames Posted May 21, 2013 Share Posted May 21, 2013 Ray was an amazing musician, and a part of one the greatest and most unique sounding bands of all time. It is a sad day 😔 and a great loss. For such an acplished musician and rock star, he always just seemed so humble whenever I saw him interviewed... RIP Mr Manzerek Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KiOgon Posted May 21, 2013 Share Posted May 21, 2013 (edited) The sound of the doors in the 60's along side Jim Morrison. Bloody Cancer!

Stu-khag Posted May 21, 2013 Share Posted May 21, 2013 The team I work with interviewed him for a doc that will come out next year. Very sad.

Twigman Posted May 21, 2013 Share Posted May 21, 2013 Some of the greatest bass lines without even touching a string! genius RIP Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EliasMooseblaster Posted May 21, 2013 Share Posted May 21, 2013 A great loss to music. I was learning piano before I took up the bass in the first place, so Ray Manzarek has been a source of inspiration for even longer than John Entwistle!

RAY AGAINST THE MACHINE Posted May 21, 2013 Share Posted May 21, 2013 Hated the doors when I was a kid ( except riders single). Thought they sounded too dated. Years later I actually like a few songs now . Think Ray was the most talented in the band. Definitely , one of the greates keyboard people of all time . Sad loss .rip Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KevB Posted May 21, 2013 Share Posted May 21, 2013 I was fortunate enough to see him play with Robby Krieger (though Densmore had bowed out by that stage) doing their Doors thing about 10 years ago, can't remember who did vocals (wasn't Astbury) but it was a great show. I'm sure all the keyboard players in the various Doors tribute acts around the world will be paying special tributes to the man at their next shows. Not only an excellent player but always came across as quite humble and personable when interviewed. Another sad day for music. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
51m0n Posted May 21, 2013 Share Posted May 21, 2013 Am very partital to the Doors, love his keys work, totally recognisable in an instant. classy as hell... RIP, and thanks Ray Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spongebob Posted May 21, 2013 Share Posted May 21, 2013 Great musician, great band - and always came across like a very nice guy as well. Ray will never be 74 - 74! The music is simply timeless. I used to play in a Doors tribute band, so had to work out bass (or my interpretation) to many of the tracks. Really fun to play, just great stuff.
