I never heard a more literate speaker in my life than Ray Manzarek. This is the kind of guy who could have become ruler of the radio if he wanted, he was just a genius of speaking. The only other guy I ever heard speak on this level is James Woods who I heard has an IQ of 180 and not even he comes close to Ray.
Ray is great but you've obviously never heard Terence Mckenna speak. My man will blow you away. He's truly a lot like Jim in some ways, just lived longer and was able to flesh out his ideas
Oh I would love to have a fun night just listening to his stories about Jim. Seems like he really treasured those memories and loves telling him and that is good . he kinda celebrates his friends life .
Great storyteller and he has that voice. Rememberances in detail with emotion no less. Having to explain what really happened from someone who was there and on the stage.
Hey buddy, don't try and deny the awesomeness of Ray, Jim is amazing and more skilled of a singer, but Ray is great too, don't be hating. He sang lead on a lot of recordings in The Doors, even when Jim was alive. I bet Jim was happy to hear Ray singing as well, singing his heart through his voice. Whatever, just don't be hating.
He´s a nice and intelligent guy - but if you listen carefully he hardly talks about music. He mainly talks about lyrics and Jim´s stage show and that´s what the Doors stand for.
Once you've been introduced to the Doors, its difficult to listen to anything subsequent. Alas, I must move on reluctantly. Never mind, que up some L.A. Woman.
You have me all wrong FlashHarry, my youth emulated Jim's life, my pocket also visited the bars with my RoadHouse Blues in abeyance. Jim and the Doors mean as much to me as life itself however, Ray is the best keyboard player ever. ( I also had a Vox Continental Organ with an AC 30amp) My point was Ray ain't no singer. The band will never date.......keep wearing the mascara it eventually will match the hairs growing from your sphincter, look that up.
Manzarek is simply one of the greatest American story tellers of our time.
Ray's voice is epic!
I was thinking the very same thing
sounds like neil peart
Seriously man, Ray's such a great story teller, especially with that booming voice of awesomeness.
He tells it so well. Fascinating.

The Doors was a band of intellectuals.

@@jasonarnett5487 - Thanks I'll check him out
Oh, I love to read. Manzarek is still one of the greatest American story tellers of our time.
He really draws you in with his storytelling, and describes things so you can almost imagine being there. RIP Ray, I wish he were still alive.
His voice...so relaxing
This guy deserved all the success he had. Without him, no one probably wouldn’t even know the name Jim Morrison.
Listening to these with doors open wide. Thanks Ray.

What a marvelous man and artist!
Ray tells such a good story

hypnotic in his own way..
Could listen to him all day long...
Ray was so cool 🖤
A true legend lost
What a story, love, love, love
This guy can tell a story man
Ray was the iron man of The Doors. Great man, great musician, great person.
Love you Ray RIP
GREAT INTERVIEW! Wow so cool!
Jim would love you for this. I love you for this. fuck
@MultiJam10 ...Their LA Woman album was gonna be the start of a new era too...we can only wonder how good they would have become ...

brilliant storyteller ;)
epic.

there are plenty of other videos in which he does talk about the music
"No Ivory shaft" Lol..... Legends!

Same
hahaha holy shit :D
Menacing voice
"I saw it! He did it!"
/Menacing voice over
Heee, heeee pulled it out...LMAO
Ray tells a really cool long story, and the guy's only response is to change the subject in his stoner voice.
"And ye shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free." - Jesus Christ
vey amusing!I wish he was my grandpa!Haha!XD
"i'm the Lizard King do you wanna see my subject?"

Another story of arrest and madness, and chaos...
The authorities wanted to put him in jail..just looking for an excuse..didn't like him..and that's not justice
Authority figures always harrass...people they don't like
You have to see this Miami concert. It's on youtube. The lizard king invited the whole audience on stage with him. lol
3:00 lol
@MrNomad54321 If it were August 1972, Jim would have only been 28, not 29.. His 29th birthday would not have come until 8 December '72
jim flashes high school girls? what a badass!
very ordinary person, could be a rotarian or something like that, thinking of him with Jim is strange -- Morrison was ALONE
jajajajajaj right
Was....
YOU, really should read a lot more.
An awesome artist
