Ray Manzarek of The Doors

RIP RAY MANZAREK An interview with Ray Manzarek the morning after a concert in 2005 while touring with Doors of the 21st century. Great concert and a great candid Ray Manzarek being interviewed! Email me at [e-mail]

Ray is awesome. How many famous musicians would do something like that off-the-cuff and be very genuine at the same time. Just a good guy, that Ray Manzerek

[@romanumeralz]

Ray Manzarek is the reason why I wanted to learn the keys.

[@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 !!

[@consciousphilosophy-ericva5564]

I watched this years ago as a teenager. For some reason, I remembered it today. I searched for over a half hour and finally found it. The end with the music, while Ray’s nostalgia pours out for Jim, is beyond moving. Ray spoke about Jim with conviction, ease, and grace. Rest in peace, Ray.

[@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.

[@YogaArmy]

shows how cool Ray was... he would talk with anyone and so GRATEFUL to all of his fans... always

[@Crackers2549]

Love this...! Ray Manzarek, The Doors, Keyboards, fun and personable...The best...!

Great guy and musician! A legend! Hope the younger generation takes note on how to be humble, and always remember you are where you are BECAUSE of your fans! And NEVER forget where you come from.

[@ashe984]

Such a legend seems like a great guy.

[@gglaw42]

[@missblink4611]

What a wonderful man ! Such a kind man! Down to earth!

[@ashe984]

Such a legend seems like a great guy.

[@highlanderdetroit5370]

Ray thank you for the music.

[@paulkappeter7844]

What a wonderful man. RIP Ray

[@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! :)

[@manzarek88]

I love that man!!

[@DealioTV]

Laid back cool guy Gotta love Ray

[@dynjarren7523]

Ray was California Cool 😎! He just took everything in stride and enjoyed life! And Why not? The Doors succeeded beyond their wildest dreams.

[@mitulrmehta]

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

[@tatechasers2393]

youtube has so much great stuff on Ray

[@condedefomento]

R.I.P Ray ,thanks for the music.

[@celt007]

ray is a great guy

[@jonathanwoods9843]

I smiled through that whole video.😃

[@mr.dorfman1297]

Excellent interview Jeff! I love watching this video! I had the pleasure of meeting Ray a few times in L.A. about 20 years ago... He was a class act and a lot of fun! "He laughed"

[@Cuseman1503]

I would give anything to meet and pick the brain of Ray Manzarek...he's a fucking peaceful genius.

[@9andresfe]

Great interview!! Good job bud! Legend!

[@machinebuilder3535]

Ray was so cool...... Rip

[@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.

[@PRockRulez]

Far out man! Ray fuckin rules! I'm reading his book ' my life with the doors' its awesome what a life... and i'm glad i finnaly heard some one that knew jim say that Oliver Stone got jims character wrong... i just couldnt imagine Jim Morrison as a mad cheatin weirdo... ok he had his moments but stone took too far, and twisted Rays words (as he points out in the book!) - i recomend it to all doors fans!! Thanks for the vid :)

[@davehyde6207]

2021 , that was a gentleman of rock rest in peace Ray...

[@JamJells]

The best on the spot interview vlog I have ever seen to date. Well crafted questions. Was careful not to ask loaded questions or insult Ray. Also Ray was super kind to a fan. Makes listening to the Doors music that much more enjoyable. Thanks for making it through to the kinder side of the Doors.

[@TheBruro22]

This was really well done. Kudos to this guy who tracked ray down.

[@RejectsCloseUP]

he has a really deep voice

[@weedfoxs]

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

[@sunyata76]

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

[@magenzus]

nice dude nice...amazing stuff

[@ThinCrustPizza67]

wow..this guy is really lucky.

[@BillyShears06]

I wish I could give this video a 6. He's awesome.

[@eliortegajr9710]

Make love not War! by Ray....right on1 Thanks jrunyons!

[@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.

[@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!!!!

[@Nefelits]

Jeez I would have faint if I had seen RAY MANZAREK !!!!

[@ninelivecat]

Wow you lucky guy that was cool.

[@TylerYeah]

Awe, i felt so bad when ray said: yeah, he's at rest..

[@jeffthepoet7]

Thanks for the fantastic clip. Ray seems like a fun guy. Fellow UCLA Bruin. Met Robbie Krieger, who's also a nice chap.

[@Xqrement]

Ray!!!! you're the men!!! hahaha ray is the best of the best!!!!!

[@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!!!

[@doglvr895]

Um...freakin' WOW! You are one lucky dog Jeff!

[@Lioninthenight]

Totally Cool.

[@thebreadsam01]

[@Dzanarika1]

Ray was so down to earth :((

[@Trunkfish]

Wow Man that was an awseome experience.

[@mayfranco]

Ray is the Man!!! i went to the doors show ( riders on the storm - lisbon, saturday) was amazing!!! Krieger was really cool too!!! i love it! =D astbury was the vocal! he did a really good job!

[@arcane1977]

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

[@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!

[@NathFilms]

legend

[@crazycraiky]

[@sil3ntman]

i wish i had that opportunity

[@Lukigol]

ray is cool, and nice interviewer, bless

[@segn66]

Its too bad there aren't more rock stars like Ray.

[@UfoDan100]

I have a 1970 photo of me holding the Doors album , Waiting for the Sun. Evidence and proof I was a Doors minion since 1969. You lucked out getting Ray , try for John and Robbie interview.

[@Rommel_Catanov]

a real living legend!!!

[@crazyskater147]

RAY is still keeping it cool

[@JoAqUiNBandit]

i wanna meet him so damn bad!

[@teeheeetummytums]

He laughed.

[@geoffreyw651]

There is nothing strange about when Ray was kidding about Jim being in Oregon. Ray has gotten so many questions about Jim, that he has completely given up on answering them seriously, so he just plays along. As he says after the comment, Jim is in the cemetary in Paris.

[@Dzanarika1]

Only dear God knows the truth.

[@adiratus]

GREAT GUY !!!

[@CraigWeinstein]

Man, that guy is a cool cat.

[@TheKenney81]

[@strangerinwhite]

Ray seem like a cool guy.

[@anitasseo]

es divino!!

[@manzarek88]

and FSOL :O

[@Macknsteez]

He was a friend, and an equal, not a father figure...

[@lancecharlett1761]

Robbie is golfing in Pittsburgh. I live in Pittsburgh. Wonder where he was golfing?

[@cristiancornejo]

wow.

[@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!

[@kokomono91]

Oh lucky you! :D

[@magicbus333]

[@Burritosuupreme]

[@hikageniko]

yes, and robby krieger was the mother

[@diegogoose21]

ray won.

[@brad25000]

Oh man I hope he didn't go where Jim is now. I really hope he didn't go to his death believing that the sun is God.

[@melkor1223]

He reminds me of my pap.

[@BreakingGlass77]

ray looks and sounds just like my uncle

[@JohnAtra]

Ray still smokes!

[@wisesatyr72]

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

[@federicachu]

you film this video

[@TubeYousped]

Funny you should joke about Jim being in Oregon being a cowboy. Last summer in my friend's hood in Portland there was a homeless guy with a harmonica and leather pants with wavy hair they called homeless Jim Morrison.

[@Dzanarika1]

Nothing would surprise me LOL

[@mytimeisapieceofwax]

Manzarek likes Beck!! :D

[@Mae77]

great. I could make an interview to Ray too ( check my profile ). What a nice man, really I'll never forget that day.
