    Ray talks about Life, Jim Morrison, Doors, and gives some good advise.
    Year; 2010.
    Raymond Daniel Manzarek Jr. (born Manczarek; February 12, 1939 - May 20, 2013) was an American musician, singer, producer, film director, and author. He was best known as a member of the Doors from 1965 to 1973, which he co-founded with singer and lyricist Jim Morrison.
    Manzarek was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 1993 as a member of the Doors. He was a co-founding member of Nite City from 1977 to 1978, and of Manzarek-Krieger from 2001 until his death in 2013. USA Today defined him as "one of the best keyboardists ever".

Along with the interview by Alison Steele, this is one of my favorite interviews given by Ray. I can listen to him talk for hours. It seems he's the real brain of the band while Jim is the poetic spirit of the Doors. He reminds me of Timothy Leary in his factual positive view on psychedelics.

    Ray Manzarek (RIP) is well known to have had a tendency to embellish his stories to keep the Jim Morrison mystique alive. Here he says all members in the group were in agreement to not not say "higher" but when you see Robby Krieger's reaction in the video to Morrison doing just that it's unmistakable that he was totally surprised that Morrison actually did say "higher".

    Aside from Ray’s absurd speculations about the sealed coffin (he should know better, but somebody has to play Paul the evangelist), a good interview.
    I do like what Ray has to say about the endless distractions of our digital life (and it’s only gotten worse since his time). People often marvel that the doors were so young when they created that great body of music. This fact is integrally related to their focus on their music and their lack of distractions.

    Who the hell am I? Nobody different than you... but IF I had to give this interview a grade, it'd fall somewhere between a C and a C+. Search out Jim Ladd's "Innerview" series on The Doors if you want to hear some really great conversations about ALL aspects of the band. This was a "fun" interview; not too heavy, so in that regard I did like it. What I found REALLY intriguing was how Ray mentioned that Oliver Stone did a great job in his rockumentary film "The Doors" - at least in THIS interview. First time I heard Ray say that; any other time when I heard his comments, he said that Stone did a poor job in recreating the characters from real life to film... anyway, thank God we have the words and the music of one of the greatest rock bands ever. God bless you, and thanks for the scoop, Ray!

      @@scottharrison9083I agree. As patriotic as Ray was to The Doors’ legacy, he remained one-sided about everything and everyone with the premise that Jim Morrison could do no wrong and how dare anyone disagree with him (Ray) about any of it. Whereas Robbie is much more levelheaded about it all from beginning to end and is a much more chill person in general than Jim, Ray, and even John were/are.

    So at the end he did say God bless you! The true God (invisible God that most pantheists and atheists deny) does exist! Mr.Manzarek has met Him for sure, the second he had the last breath! Are you ready to meet Him? Jesus is the answer! I used to be a Doors fan back in the 90s, and their music and songs did prompt me to think of extraterrestrial things (psychedelic matters, which in essence means spiritual matters) until I got God's Word (the ultimate and the only truth)! Mr.Manzarek was very astute in oriental philosophy and ideology. but sadly was very mistaken.

  • @hwearrow
    @hwearrow 2 роки тому +1

    From the absolute respect and admiration to Ray, I have to say that his examination about God is totally false and full of error and confusion. Creator and mind is not the same. The World and the God is not the same. Budish is the opposite of Jesus religion way. Sadly, Ray has shown his total ignorance about religion and philosophy. and all he says about it , is pure eclecticism and frivolous syncretism. Probably he learned a lot about European cinema, but he didn´t learn almost nothing about Religion and Phylosophy European Knowledge. Their generation suffered the initial social ingenery of Frankfurt school and freudomarxism, 68 Paris, Drug abuse, the decepcion of council vatican 11 and as a consecuence the flowering of hedonism. This way is not good, because Epicureanism was the decadence of Greek Philosophy which really began with Plato and Aristoteles. The greatness of Doors music is that usually treats about love, travels, beautiful landscapes as the desert , sea vojages, Andalusian pilgrimages, human depiction passages like sof parade. Fortunately, Doors songs has as an anchor the goal of romanticism.The mistake in his poetry is the panteism as a possibility and the hedonism, besides moral relativism. Of course, I´m a superb fan of Ray and Doors music, the best rock band ever.

    I've heard worse, but this interviewer is not good. You can tell Ray is not enjoying dealing with her not making sense. He sounds great, as always. I host radio shows, and I think she's irritating and hasn't done her homework, talks about herself too much, editorialized, the excessive, loud giggling is like nails on a chalkboard, and she pretends she understands what Ray is talking about. She's not too bright. The hyperbole is annoying - "Amazing!", "Wonderful!" etc. too. I could say even more. Gotta turn this off. This is killing me. My interview would have been very different. I would have done my homework, which she obviously hasn't. Oh, btw, she also mispronounced Ray's name.

When Jim was alive he was opposed to selling the Doors music for such purposes. Ray/Robbie wanted to cash out and violate Jim's preferences when he was alive.
