Ray Manzarek of The Doors

[genber1222]

I would've died right in that moment. You are one lucky guy.

[infammotoben]

7 people arent resting comfortably in pere lachaise cemetary

[RejectsCloseUP]

he has a really deep voice

[S1elmx]

Ray is cool.

[irishjohn831]

Real cool guy, and in tremendous shape for his age. Must be a cool life bring Ray Manzarek and you can tell he loves it. Real talented and a truly unique musician. It's that talent and attitude that made the doors one of histories greatest !!

[gasdu]

I wouldn't trade this for 1 million dollars!

I would. hahaha

[Amanda58398]

Cuando Ray firma los libros, mira las fotos y dice: "Jim se ve feliz, y yo también me veo feliz".

¡Oh, me encantan las respuestas que él da! Ray es tan inteligente. Es maravilloso porder mirar tu propia foto y decir "Soy feliz" o "Fui feliz".

Yo también tengo dos libros parecidos a los que él firmó, pero es sobre los Beatles. Y la canción "Wandering musician" que suena al final... ¡es muy bella!

[0Paronomasia0]

What a great guy. I would love to bump into him some day. (:

[cvjucla3]

Totally Cool.

[elcamino52]

Probably the best celebrity around. He's not stuck up and won't ignore you, nice, talkative, funny, just an all-around good guy.

[stangTCODE]

thanx for osoting vid

[dane21dc]

i lke how Ray finds any situation 2 have a dig at Oliver Stone lol

[BeMyBelarus]

Warren Zevon? He's dead lol. Ray!!

[TheGrownUpAdult]

Wow, how i'd love to meet Ray. Seems like such a nice guy.

[Amanda58398]

Ray ya tiene más de 70 años, ¡pero sigue siendo atractivo! Era más guapo cuando era joven, sin embargo no perdió su buena postura y su elegancia. Cuando él tenía 29 años, se vestía con grandes trajes formales y parecía un intelectual de 70 años. Ahora que tiene 70, se viste con remeras negras y pantalones de jeans y parece todo un músico rebelde de 29 años. ¡Su forma de vestir es al revés! XD

[Manzie1000]

Seems like a cool guy. Shows how the mentality that most people in the sixties was about peace and love, why can't young people today show the same compassion for each other without having to worry about being put down by others.

[ossie19681]

Thanks for posting. Ray is such a nice guy. He seems to be really easy going.

[Knapperr]

OMG HE JUST SAID since 16.. and im 15.. how does he know that ... wow

[zappatx]

Wonder why he didnt prefer a Hammond like most bands of that time?

[fguka]

@zappatx because vox owns.

[209116032]

Ohhhhh you're so lucky! I would've been so awkward asking him questions like that lol. But, props to you for having the balls to do it! :)

[78kaira]

you have a big chance ! you are a lucky man to meet him. thank you !

[ThinCrustPizza67]

wow..this guy is really lucky.

[SanctumStudios]

Great fella that Ray.

[CinnamonGirl182]

How lucky! I would love to meet Ray one day!

[J0EYbagaDONUTS]

Pretty cool of Ray signing all that stuff for ya . I met Ray years ago 1975 or so . It was @ the Bottom Line in NYC . My friend went to the show the night b4 and said he partied with Ray . I told him he was full of shit, so he told me to come the next night and i did. After the show we walked right on stage, told some guy we were friends of Rays, and he showed us where the dressing room was We drank Heineken & smoked Thai Stick with hash oil all night. I'll never 4get that night Ray you ROCK !

[NathFilms]

legend

[mrmojorisin119]

ray is a cool guy he also looks very good 4 his age



[bwallace77]

Ray was so cool for doing that! I got to see him and Robbie live last year. During the new Doors movie John Densmore came out and introduced the film 'When Your Strange", in L.A. And last I went to Paris to visit Jim's Grave, that's as close as I will ever get to see the Doors live. Thanks for the post!!!!

[arcane1977]

wow! good on you! well done Ray for taking time signing

[thepuppetstv]

Obama doesn't care about environment either. Thanks for the change. Gulf of Mexico is loving the change too.

[celt007]

ray is a great guy

[fenderhands1]

His voice sounds like principle Skinner from the simpsons....Spinal Tap Bassist. Hahahahah

[teeheeetummytums]

He laughed.

[TheKenney81]

ray is a good man

[bloodandbones9]

Ray in this vid you look like you are forty, You have my build. I am 35 and you look like you might be able to take me. Plus you are my dad's age. Great video!

[J0EYbagaDONUTS]

@bloodandbones9 your 35 and your dads 40 ? WTF and where do you want Ray to take you ? lmaoo

[panicbow14]

WTF he said Jim is aliveee LOL

[Choopzilla]

Ray is so amazing, he would play 2 organs simultaneously and be the lead singer when Jim didn't show up to shows.

[xterra43]

warren zevon was dead on 2005... so interesting to hear Ray's take

on the way Jim really was, not the way he was portrayed by Oliver Stone.

Ray is very articulate and a great storyteller - and I could listen to him for hours.

[Ryanyarb24]

Although I think Jim Morrison was awesome, Ray Manzarek was the genius behind the Doors musically.

[67675656565655656565]

cant wait to get my panelvan so i can start playing the doors in it

[oldschooltvs]

if i was there, i'd ask ray how much cunt he got over his career, lol, gene simmons claims umm, well, but you got david lee roth, sammy hagar, eddie, crud i dunno, how many rockers, and musicians worldwide, maybe yanni holds the record, or kenny g, lol,.........these people worship these people, well, jim's in the grave, or is he? lol 'i'd take the million dollars; lol

[benhez]

ray got annoyeed when u kept going on about how much of an honour it is to meet him

[goofymandan83]

lucky s o b. you got his sig and have a chat with him

fuck im jelous

[wisesatyr72]

this guy was a father figure to jim..looked up to him

[steurun]

yes, and robby krieger was the mother

[hazor777]

@steurun : you mean John......Robby was laid back & cool, John was uptight and a whiner.......Ray was a lttle of both......and Jim just raised hell & didnt give a fuck!

[benhez]

dude what makes u say that

[wisesatyr72]

Read Light my fire the book then you'll know what Im talking about

[elmorejames45]

Read the book and it is my favorite book i gotta say that book will take ya places.

[SmittyBaGitty]

Awesome!! you guys are so lucky!!

[chargerman76]

that was cool. what a great guy.

[campwinnarainbow]

i wanna meat one of the doors!!

[ronkrisin]

Met Ray at a concert in Ohio. What year was this?

[zancraft]

What class this man has

[ventovivimus]

He's great, actually one of the best organists. But he should quit smoking.

[internalpeaceseeker]

well it's hard to play doors song and not even smoke a cig but you're rightcigs are old fashion away, it's not cool anymore to smoke it's waste of time and health

[mussman717word]

@ventovivimus

Shut your fucking mouth, the guys a fucking Door, and you'd demonize him for smoking. Here's a fact you might've heard before from Bill Hicks, a clinically approved fact: NON-SMOKERS DIE EVERYDAY... besides, fuck you in general.

[ThePrimal1994]

@mussman717word i agree with you. my grandpa still smokes and he's 74. ray is 71. 69 in here but he should still be ok.

[loleslaw94]

@ventovivimus he shouldn't because he's true fucking rock'n roller :D

[mitulrmehta]

oh man ... he knows how to take care of a FAN ... he is awesome ...

[Aristotelezz]

Nice!

[JLizard]

You need to tell us who is Bill Loyer. I am convinced without a shadow of a doubt that it is Jim Morrison formerly of the DOORS. People have been begging for an answer but the DOORS totally avoid it. I have a dream that Ray, Robbie and John will end up in prison.

[Alextheconejo]

Ray likes Beck, that's awesome...

[JoAqUiNBandit]

i wanna meet him so damn bad!

[dexterlowlife2008]

yes great guy...greetzz from amsterdam....

[Saroarr]

RAY !

[BreakingGlass77]

ray looks and sounds just like my uncle

[musictomorrow142677]

I've always loved Ray but I'm soooooo disappointed that he threw his cigarette but on the ground, stomped on it and THEN mentioned how we need to change political direction by changing our views on looking after the environment?!! What a dickhead!!! Jeff - well done to you on this fine production otherwise - loved the song at the end too!!

[erickm35]

ray es 1 vividor

[bernardoislive]

[mgssol90]

Great video.

[melkor1223]

He reminds me of my pap.

[pissballs]

wow like night and day with some celebs Ray has a very kind spirit and humble about the whole thing.

[sunyata76]

That's terrific! Thanks for posting this! I've been waiting to meet Ray most of my life.

[BUBBASIMS]

[xojbabyxo]

I LOVE RAY MANZAREK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!And Im sorry but Ray IS and ALWAYS will be an amazing electric piano player!!!Ray has such a friendly personality and I love him!!!

THE DOORS FOREVER

[Lukigol001]

ray is cool, and nice interviewer, bless

[outsider2526]

dont you just want to hang out with ray

[bebe1001]

All the Doors guys were, and still are, beside the amazing talent, the nicest, kindest, down to earth people in the music business. Very rare

in this world

[psychodeathmonkey]

i dont understand it when people say the doors are overated, and the only reason their big is because morrison died. but their debut album was a number one record, and still sells a ton today. just sounds like a buncha shit to me anyway

[crazyskater147]

RAY is still keeping it cool

[xojbabyxo]

Ray was amazing at electric piano.The doors will live on forever.

[FOLLEUS]

magnifique, il est grand

[pythagoreansthereom]

The interviewer reminds me of a young Robby Krieger w/o the hair of course.

[LittlePigglette]

Ah, Ray is such a cool guy. :D

[autofied]

cool interview there, I watched a mini documentary series on him at the 2008LStudio channel- he's such a laid back dude

[Jimmos4ever]

Just let your hair grow and get in your 70's look!It was perfect(i am not that stupid)

[Jimmos4ever]

I am the biggest fun Ray!!!Jimmy was a perfect guy but you are the man!

[eldudarinooriginale]

holy shite. you just stood there and chatted with freaking ray manzarek!? wow. what a nice dude, to just stand there and talk to you for who knows how long. i'm friggin impressed by you being composed beside a legend, and the legend himself being so down to earth. wow.

[DethMetalHippie21]

you are one lucky son of a bitch

[jest392]

I play piano and I still think this guy is a legend.

[happypicker102]

[erecnisruoma]

This is definately a sign of hope.

[ClassicUndertaker120]

Yesturday I met Ray Manzerek and Robbie Krieger. They were playing a concert in my town and I got FREE VIP passes to the event. They only let 20 people out of the 75 people to meet them. I was one of the last people choosen to meet them. They are both really cool guys. Me and Ray also share the same birthday.

[zeppelinkir]

OMG!!! U're sooo lucky.... I would die to meet him! :O

[BDSDawg]

That was really nice of Ray. Shows what a class act he is. Peace Ray.

[BipolarPics]

god, ray is such a fucking hippie.

[hippiechick10113]

whats wrong with being a hippie!

[monotonnne]

This makes me incredibly happy to see, it appears he is a genuine as possible celebrity. I guess at his age theres not much reason to be cocky, but its great to see someone take the time.

i love ray dearly.

[GrandiLive]

Jim Morrison Alive!!!!!!!

[bettykitten2233]

Is it just me or is Ray a bit of a G.I.L.F? (Grandad I'd Like To Fuck) lol And that voice!!

[kenrubes]

it's just you.

[leeson7034]

RAY!!! Still smokin' Marlboro's lol

[OnARun]

I love Ray - I will always love Ray - I'd rather stay at home with Ray (Not Blakey)....loll...

[michaelHda]

He was the VERY FIRST rock act I ever saw-backing up Grand Funk in El Paso TX in March, '75. He was decent, but what I remember was being such a 17-year old cherry that I was AGHAST that he said "fuck" about 300 times. "He can GET AWAY with that"? I am old enough to remember when that word actually had shock value. Put me in a dinosuar exhibit.......................­..

[crazyskater147]

hes still keeping it cool

[rusty8mm]

even at age 69.

[Exilemainstreet]

Ray seems to be a weird mixture of a cool guy and a huckster.

[ldmyers]

Great video man

[forsaken731]

I met him too, really down to earth dude. He tells me, "I'll be here for 80 90 some years, and all the things I've done, it's been a good life.

[belindaborat]

THIS IS GREAT!

[themusicman086]

dude u are the luckiest person i would killed to met ray manzarek!!!! bet that was a awesome expirence!!

[MISFITROBBY138]

lol, i wouldnt so great...

[stellamercury]

I love Ray!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!­!!

[Armandhugh]

ray sabes eres el mejor!!!!!!

[vanhalenking]

Ray seems like a "Happy Go Lucky" kind of guy!! And not a worry in the world. God I wonder how much drugs he and the doors did back in the day??

[stellamercury]

vanhalenking, not so much. they didn't do hard drugs, like there were so many people around you who were smoking pot and didn't use to be ashamed of that. in his book ray said that he wanted to find something (i don't remember the world, maybe "pure" "easy" or something) and then he started to meditate and stuff. weeds not bad like heroine and stuff.

[imvo]

"you can hang out with me" hahaha dude, ray is a legend and will be remembered forever..the correct way of saying that was " well, l can hang out with you, if you want"

but you are very lucky indeed...and he is like a real nice down to earth person

[steelcitystrings]

Ray always was so nice to people! Remember he's just a person..." We all wake up ,Brush our teeth with Crest, and wipe our butts with Charmin."After that you do what ya' gotta do!? Anyways stay real Ray. Nice footage J. LO  VE D. at Steel City Strings.

[kokomono91]

Oh lucky you! :D

[tenerife134]

well done jeff to me ray was always the thinker and meditator youve made my day seeing this thanks buddy

[MAAAVERICK]

That was a raw and cool video!!! I met these guys the other day; Robby Krieger was really nice to me and his guitar playing during the show was incredible!!! It must have been the same guitar? Sad that Ray is so disappointed with the movie; the man should write a script!!!

[mongoose100989]

Wow. I love Ray Manzarek.

I wish hed stop smoking that cigarette.

[weedfoxs]

Ray his a great person and a wonderful artist there great may they live forever.

[Snotra]

Wow what an opportunity! I was Lucky enough to meet my personel favorite band at the House of Blues (Las Vegas) Echo & the Bunnymen. I know there is no comparison but to me, it was intense. I was no nervous lol. Nice posting.

[kistokesed]

very envious dude, what a chance of a lifetime!

[strangerinwhite]

Ray seem like a cool guy.

[JohnWolfCat]

Awesome video. It's cool to see Ray still takes time out for the fans.

[whiskeymystic]

[magicbus333]

[Trunkfish]

Wow Man that was an awseome experience.

[ThatRagingBull]

[Xqrement]

[Nefelits]

[sRANDYkopec]

[Jackrabbit710]

Your a lucky guy! Would love a chat with ray and fair play to him he gave you his time although he must be sick of doing it!

[snorky56]

haha Ray

[kirstg11]

ray is an anomilie. to hold such composure through a lifetime of unimaginable surrealism is an immense achievement.or is it. perhaps .

beck is a sound dude . its great to see the purist fan succeed. it great to see the purist artist do the same. jeff your the man.

Im from scotland.good luck to all.

[Theblizzardking]

God damn hes still smoking at his age

[WackStrings22]

theres a person whos a neighbor of my teacher and hes 94 and hes still smoking so

Ray is an exceptionally cool guy. I got to meet him in L.A. at a movie theater in 2004. He was a nice guy.
