R.I.P Ray Manzarek.

Does exactly what it says on the tin. Some of the nonsense contained herein may be very loosely related to The Sisters of Mercy, but I wouldn't bet your PayPal account on it. In keeping with the internet's general theme nothing written here should be taken as Gospel: over three quarters of it is utter gibberish, and most of the forum's denizens haven't spoken to another human being face-to-face for decades. Don't worry your pretty little heads about it. Above all else, remember this: You don't have to stay forever. I will understand.

Ray Manzarek, keyboardist and founding member of The Doors, passed away today at 12:31PM PT at the RoMed Clinic in Rosenheim, Germany after a lengthy battle with bile duct cancer. He was 74. At the time of his passing, he was surrounded by his wife Dorothy Manzarek, and his brothers Rick and James Manczarek.

Gutted...
Dim, through the misty panes and thick green light,
As under a green sea, I saw him drowning.

I saw the reformed Doors thing with Ian Astbury when they came over and Ray was a note-perfect, utterly charming old hippy :notworthy:

Unfortunately didn't had the chance to see him live, even if i wanted to...
Influenced me in keyboard playing more than many many others.

I'm with you on that one brother.
Ray's keyboard was a big part of my teenage years and early twenties.
Many hours were spent staring at lava lamps, talking s**t and listening to The Doors.

RIP man. :notworthy: :notworthy: :notworthy:

Going through that now, man. Absolutely devistated that he's gone.

Well said.

Another one gone to the great gig in the sky. Rest in peace.

another lost musical genius- playing astounding keyboards is impressive enough but playing the bass as well with the other hand... :eek:

a great shame. :(
Well I was handsome and I was strong
And I knew the words to every song.

On the bright side, if there is an afterlife, I've got one hell of a gig to see when I get there. 8) :wink:
