RIP Ray Manzarek

The place to socialise, and relax, if it doesn't fit into anything below it fits here, so tell us that joke, or share that story of your last off-road escapade, but remember new comers the virtual drinks are on you!

RIP Ray Manzarek

Post by twiss » Tue May 21, 2013 4:54 pm

So I think this is a great shame that Ray Manzarek has passed away!

The Doors were such an influential group and now with Morrison and Manzarek passed away there will be no more music!

I think some of their music is very powerful and has made a definite imprint on my musical taste!
The End, Riders on the Storm and Light my Fire for example!

I just get the feeling that some of the great musicians are passing away and nobody of the same calibre is replacing them! :(

Take a long holidaaaay
Let your children play
If you give this man a ride
Sweet memory will die
Killer on the road
There's three ways of doing things:

The right way,
The wrong way
And my way, which is like the wrong way but faster.

I remember my first foray into The Doors, watching Apocalypse Now and The End started playing...made my hair stand on end.

That was a long time ago... :lol:

It's one of those moments that changes rock forever. Knowing he will never create anything to influence a generation again. Only to be known by his previous creations.
