    In 1971 I was 10years old, I was listening to my old valve radio in bed one night, when I heard the sounds of waves crashing, thunder rolling, the tinkling of a Piano, when a Man's voice said "Riders on the Storm".
    The 10-year-old me thought OMG!!! WTF is that??
    It turned out to be a song that remains in my Top 5 or 10 to this day, depends on my mood.

      No, he didn't. It was Jerry Scheff who came up with the bass line after Ray gave him a few chords of what he had in mind. Many of the bass players hired by the Doors were not credited at all.

      @@martintayler23 Careful with the blanket statements. Yes he did. I can show you many concert videos of him doing just that. I can also send you an interview where Manzarek is asked "Who plays the bass line in your band?" and demonstrates live. Your argument is that they occasionally hired session bass players that didn't get credited. OK fine. My statement is true, yours is not. The Doors had no bass player in their lineup. 4 members. Vocals, guitar, keyboards and drums. Period. The Rolling Stones also worked with many session musicians. Did that make them members of the band? No. Just contributors. "The Doors lacked a bass guitarist (except during recording sessions), so for live performances Manzarek played the bass parts on a Fender Rhodes piano keyboard bass." - Wikipedia

    I recall the first time hearing RotS
    It was in Phoenix AZ. It came on a
    small transistor radio near the local liquor store.
    We were outside and a wash of strangeness invaded me.
    I was young but already a big Doors enthusiast.
    Purdy sure it was after they had announced Morrison death days before.
    Which also had strange affect on me.
    Ya know the Doors then-- were a radio hit regulars
    They were back. It took awhile to realized what was lost

They puzzled around what they could improve. Someone had the idea - let it rain and maybe thunder...? No sooner said than done - they recorded the appropriate samples and mixed them into the song.

    This song is about his life experience! He was an Army brat father was an officer and he never stayed in one place or base to make friends and love. The rider on the storm base on incident while his family traveled from one base to another as they stop to eat and get gas in an desolate gas station, the store owner warned them to be careful there’s a killer on the road and already killed some travelers when he was ten years old, he enjoyed imaginary horrors and death do his boredom. Later he was a philosophy major in college. chance meeting with Manzarek one of band pianist he was trying to start a band! Since he’s a philosopher he read poems he wrote. Mazarek loved his writings and made him lead singer of the band Doors, ironically he never learned to sing or sang before or taken classes. It didn’t bothered the band that he can’t sing but he can carry a tune. So Mazarek wrote the music to follow Jim Morrison writings and voice . Jim Morrison was insecure about his singing. You call tell by his earlier songs. One day a friend offered drugs and history was made... RIP JIM YOUR A LEGEND!!!

    ever notice the whisper track in one ear throughout, saying the lyrics? Jim was film student, wrote short film called The Hitch-hiker, lyrics of Riders loosely based on that script

    This may be the greatest goodbye song of any original band lineup. It's like Morrison is turning into a ghost before our eyes. The "killer" part refers to the film he was making called "HWY" which was never finished and truthfully didn't have much of a plot. Ray's organ playing is just spectacular here, providing the perfect atmosphere. The original mix had the storm sound effects higher and the fade out rain is longer. For some reason they changed it when the album was re-released.

    Ray Manzarek truly shined in this song. I think it was a synthesizer he played.

    The movie The Hitcher was inspired by this.
