Bigguy Posted May 20, 2013 Report Posted May 20, 2013 Ray Manzarek, keyboard player of the Doors died today in Germany. Very sad news. Rest in peace. Quote
grawk Posted May 20, 2013 Report Posted May 20, 2013 Even more significant than that hippy band he was part of, he was the producer of a few of X's best albums. Ray, make punk rock in heaven! Quote
CarlSeibert Posted May 20, 2013 Report Posted May 20, 2013 RIP Ray. I'll play a Doors tribute while I sillo pictures tonight. Quote
livewire Posted May 20, 2013 Report Posted May 20, 2013 My favorite band back in the day. Godspeed Ray. Quote
Knuckledragger Posted May 20, 2013 Report Posted May 20, 2013 (edited) Wow. I was just looking up the Doors on wackypedia last night and thinking "Damn, the surviving members are getting up there."EDIT: Grawk is right, check out all the producer credits. Edited May 20, 2013 by Knuckledragger Quote
Wmcmanus Posted May 20, 2013 Report Posted May 20, 2013 Sad news, indeed. Ray was the main reason The Doors stayed together for as long as they did. He seemed to be the only one to have patience enough to deal with Jim during his downward spiral. LA Woman probably would have never happened were it not to Ray's leadership and persistence. Then again, Ray was the rock from the beginning and put the group together from day one. RIP, good man. Quote
agile_one Posted May 20, 2013 Report Posted May 20, 2013 RIP, Ray. Definitely the glue holding thr Doors together, and kept relevant as time went by. There's organ playing in heaven tonight. Quote
ironbut Posted May 21, 2013 Report Posted May 21, 2013 Bummer! the Doors were one of the bands I really thought a lot of when I was in high school. Somewhere in Georgia is (or might still be) a desk with the lyrics to "The End" scratched into it's top. RIP Ray! Quote

Absorbine_Sr Posted May 21, 2013 Report Posted May 21, 2013 Also a big Doors fan. They helped shape my psyche in my formative days. Morrison was always an idol, though the flaws are easily seen these days. But if the band had not had those haunting keyboards courtesy of Manzarek, they never would have achieved legend status. RIP Ray. When the music's over, turn out the light. Quote
Voltron Posted May 21, 2013 Report Posted May 21, 2013 Giants played some Doors tonight as a little memorial. RIP RAY Quote
Seed Lady Posted May 21, 2013 Report Posted May 21, 2013 I has a sad. Lubs our Doors box set CDs. Box design is awesome. Quote
