El 20 de mayo de 2013 murió Ray Manzarek, músico, cantante, productor, director de cine y escritor estadounidense.

Es considerado, junto con Jon Lord, como uno de los mejores teclistas de la historia del rock.
Contar la vida de una leyenda de la música no es fácil, pero hay películas que, en lugar de ser un homenaje, terminan siendo un auténtico "palomazo" desafinado. A veces por falta de presupuesto, otras por un guion flojo o por un casting que nomás no dio el ancho, estas producciones nos dejaron pidiendo el reembolso.
In a desperate bid to look like we know what we are talking about, we have overhauled the format. This week, Andrew drags a bewildered Dr. Sam through 1980s Liverpool to discuss why a three time Oscar winner spent his youth hiding in a camouflage suit. We are diving deep into: The Scouse Trinity: Exploring the "Crucial Three". Julian Cope's Fear of the Floor: Why he performed on step ladders because he felt the floor was too dangerous. The Mysterious Drum Machine: The story behind the machine they called "Echo". The Big Lie: How they admitted the drum machine story was just a way to mess with journalists. "Caramelised Hair": The era of sugar-styling that attracted swarms of flies and smelled like a burnt bakery. The Cosmic Gateway: The time Bill Drummond decided a manhole cover in Matthew Street was a cosmic gateway to Iceland. It is peak 80s chaos, involving more sugar and camouflage netting than a primary school bake sale in a war zone. Suggested Listening "The Killing Moon": The one Ian McCulloch insists was written by God, though it is actually the intro to Space Oddity played backwards. "The Cutter": The band at the absolute peak of their 80s powers. "People Are Strange": The Joel Schumacher and Lost Boys payday produced by Ray Manzarek of The Doors. "Over the Wall": A masterpiece from their very dark, silhouette-heavy period. "Brussels is Haunted": The sound of the band in 2026, because they are still at it.
DoorsCon26 hits Val Verde, which means the convention center is packed with shirtless Jim Morrison freaks, suspicious Ray Manzarek lookalikes, and exactly one self-declared Doors legacy act. Enter Ed Zed, frontman of The Windows, who insists he is not running a tribute band. He is preserving the spirit of The Doors through legal gray areas, naked vocals, and a deeply troubling origin story involving Robbie Krieger, Benedict Canyon, and a Toyota Yaris.Joe Wengert, co-creator of the upcoming Prime Video animated series Kevin, joins the show as Ed Zed, a man so committed to continuing The Doors' legacy that he has replaced the music, the lyrics, and most of the band with songs like “Haircuts,” “Rubber Band,” “Open Your Third Eye,” and “Bug Spray.” Things only get worse when Robbie Krieger calls in, his dog is somehow still on a ventilator, and Ed Zed continues insisting this is all just family business.Also on this week's broadcast:Bob Seger Sports Jersey Facts becomes an accidental new Hawk institution before anyone can stop it.Art Spart tries to give traffic but gets derailed by Ocarina of Time again!Geoff delivers an extremely serious taxonomy of cover bands, tribute bands, and legacy bands, complete with side trips to Guns and Boars and Thin Dizzy.DoorsCon merch goes fully off the rails at Juggggs Mug Emporium, including mugs for Ray Manzarek, Lizard Ting, and one extremely hostile official convention design.Listen.

In 1971, with Jim Morrison facing the possibility of jail time, and after the band's producer quit, the Doors managed to rally themselves to create one of rock's all-time great albums. Sadly, it would prove to be Jim Morrison's last. Randy Renaud marks the 55th anniversary of L.A. Woman (released on April 19, 1971) on this week's edition of the Chronicles of Rock.
The Doors- Waiting For The Sun (Elektra Records) Released -July 3, 1968 Waiting for the Sun (1968), the third album by The Doors, arrived at a moment when the band was already one of the most prominent rock groups in America. Recorded between late 1967 and early 1968 and released on Elektra Records, the album reflects both creative ambition and growing internal strain, particularly as Jim Morrison struggled with heavy drinking and the pressure to produce new material.Musically, the record shows the group's wide stylistic range. Songs like “Hello, I Love You” delivered commercial radio success, while tracks such as “The Unknown Soldier” and “Five to One” explored darker, more experimental and political themes. Robby Krieger's inventive guitar work, Ray Manzarek's distinctive organ textures, and John Densmore's jazz-influenced drumming help maintain the band's unmistakable sound. Despite mixed critical reactions at the time, the album became the band's only U.S. number-one LP and remains an important entry in their catalog. (S5-Ep14)

On this episode of Classic Vinyl Podcast Justin and Tyler tackle The Doors' live rendition of "Gloria," a raw and sexually charged performance that showcases Jim Morrison's powerful vocals and the band's intense live energy. We explore the song's origins (written by Van Morrison), the band's history, different live versions, and how the performance transforms the track into an almost classical depiction of passion. We discuss the instrumentation, Ray Manzarek's backing vocals and bass/keyboard work, the song's live recordings (Alive She Cried, Bright Midnight Archives and others), and why "Gloria" remains a standout live piece in The Doors' catalog.
In this episode, we speak with Steve Berlin of Los Lobos and many many other projects about, punk and blues in early eighties LA, the re-release of Pigus, Drunkus, Maximus, his roles as a producer and as a musician, and his huge number of credits as producer including Tragically Hip.

Mike Williams (Sage of Quay) with guests Dom & Chris Waterson (Sheep Farm Studios) present Pt1 of an epic series about 60s rock band The Doors. Following on from Dave McGowan's brilliant book Weird Scenes Inside the Canyon, that initially lifted the lid on the whole story of Jim Morrison's father being a Rear Admiral in the US Navy who was directly involved with the Gulf of Tonkin false flag incident that kick started the Vietnam war, which in turn started the anti war movement and the LSD laced hippy music scene. Pt1 charts the bands rise to the top from nowhere to become one of the most iconic bands of the 60s era. Ray Manzarek features heavily in this episode due to him being enrolled into a secret cold war military intelligence unit before the band was even formed!

(S4 Ep25) The Doors - Strange Days Released September 25, 1967, Recorded between May-August 1967 (Elektra) Strange Days, The Doors' ambitious sophomore album, blends dark, poetic themes with groundbreaking production. Opening with the eerie Moog-driven title track—one of rock's earliest uses of the synthesizer—the album dives into surrealism, alienation, and existential dread. Highlights include hits like “People Are Strange” and “Love Me Two Times,” the experimental “Horse Latitudes,” and the 11-minute epic “When the Music's Over.” Jim Morrison's lyrics, often lifted from his notebooks, showcase a maturing vocal performance. At the same time, Ray Manzarek's keyboards, Robby Krieger's inventive guitar, and John Densmore's jazz-inflected drumming create a rich sonic palette. Despite a mixed initial reception, Strange Days is now regarded as a milestone in psychedelic rock, influencing subsequent genres such as gothic and post-punk. The album's avant-garde cover, atmospheric production by Bruce Botnick, and dense, evocative songwriting confirm The Doors as one of America's most innovative 1960s bands, far more than just Morrison's myth.Signature Songs: "Love Me Two Times," "People Are Strange," "When The Music's Over"Full Album: YouTube Spotify Playlist” YouTube Spotify
Send us a message, so we know what you're thinking!Just because you're successful doesn't mean everyone likes you. In fact, success can often draw criticisms that might not be given to other performers. In Australia, we call that the “Tall Poppy Syndrome”, where people look for reasons to bring successful people down! We look at some criticisms (not by us - mainly!), of highly successful artists and try to find a reason for them. This month seems to have a host of rock star deaths! In Knockin' on Heaven's Door, we mourn the passing of David Lynn Thomas of post-punk group Pere Ubu; Drew Zingg, an American blues and soul guitarist, best known for work with Steely Dan and Boz Scaggs; Joey Molland from Badfinger, and Richard Chamberlain, of Dr Kildare, Shōgun & The Thorn Birds. Our “Album You Must Hear before You Die” is Bob Marley and the Wailers' “Catch a Fire”, a landmark album that established reggae as a musical force, influencing such artists as The Clash, The Police, UB40 and Eric Clapton.

Darkness Radio Presents: Jim Morrison, Secret Teacher Of The Occult w/ Musician/Poet/Author, Paul Wyld! The groundbreaking 1960s band The Doors, named for Aldous Huxley's The Doors of Perception, achieved incredible acclaim and influence, ultimately serving as a key group in the development of psychedelic and progressive rock. At the center of it all was complex front man Jim Morrison, who died in 1971 at only 27. Yet, as author Paul Wyld reveals, despite Morrison's reputation as a lewd, drunken performer, he was a full- fledged mystical, shamanic figure, a secret teacher of the occult who was not merely central to the development of rock music, but to the growth of the Western esoteric tradition as a whole. Wyld looks at the mystical works that inspired Morrison, including Kurt Seligmann's The Mirror of Magic, Colin Wilson's The Outsider, and the writings of Nietzsche and Jack Kerouac. Drawing on Morrison's lyrics and poems, his intimate writings, and the recollections of friends like photographer Paul Ferrara and Doors keyboard player Ray Manzarek, the author makes the case that Morrison was not simply a superficial dabbler in the occult but an actual secret teacher transmitting knowledge through the golden thread stretching back to Egypt and Thoth-Hermes. On Today's Darkness Radio, we talk with Paul about Morrison's journey before the Doors, what events shaped his life to make him set out on an esoteric journey. We discuss the parallels between the movie Lawrence of Arabia and Morrison's journey and why he may have taken cues from that movie on his spiritual journey. We also discuss significant spiritual highpoint's of Morrison's life, his tragic end, and much more!

The groundbreaking 1960s band The Doors, named for Aldous Huxley's The Doors of Perception, achieved incredible acclaim and influence, ultimately serving as a key group in the development of psychedelic and progressive rock. At the center of it all was complex front man Jim Morrison, who died in 1971 at only 27. Yet, as author Paul Wyld reveals, despite Morrison's reputation as a lewd, drunken performer, he was a full- fledged mystical, shamanic figure, a secret teacher of the occult who was not merely central to the development of rock music, but to the growth of the Western esoteric tradition as a whole. Wyld looks at the mystical works that inspired Morrison, including Kurt Seligmann's The Mirror of Magic, Colin Wilson's The Outsider, and the writings of Nietzsche and Jack Kerouac. Drawing on Morrison's lyrics and poems, his intimate writings, and the recollections of friends like photographer Paul Ferrara and Doors keyboard player Ray Manzarek, the author makes the case that Morrison was not simply a superficial dabbler in the occult but an actual secret teacher transmitting knowledge through the golden thread stretching back to Egypt and Thoth-Hermes. On Today's Darkness Radio, we talk with Paul about Morrison's journey before the Doors, what events shaped his life to make him set out on an esoteric journey. We discuss the parallels between the movie Lawrence of Arabia and Morrison's journey and why he may have taken cues from that movie on his spiritual journey. We also discuss significant spiritual highpoint's of Morrison's life, his tragic end, and much more!

Kala Ramnath is a world-renowned Indian violinist who performs in both the Hindustani classical tradition, and in collaborations that incorporate many styles with Ray Manzarek of The Doors, Bela Fleck and Edgar Meyer, Hilary Hahn, Kronos Quartet with Reena Esmail and veena player Jayanthi Kumaresh, and leading orchestras such as my own National Arts Centre, to name but a few. You'll hear about her childhood, and how she became a disciple of the legendary vocalist Pandit Jasraj, leading her to revolutionize her approach to Hindustani violin technique. As a teacher she has put together an incredible resource with an extensive video library that she's created of Indian music, Indianclassicalmusic.com When I recorded this interview with Kala, she had just the day before returned from the celebration of life for the legendary tabla master Zakir Hussain, who died this past December, and was one of the most important musicians in both Indian music and in bringing a global audience to Indian music. He had moved to San Francisco in the 1960s and was involved in too many projects to begin to list; in 2024 he was the first musician from India to receive 3 Grammys at one ceremony, including his collaboration with Bela Fleck and Edgar Meyer. Zakir Hussain was an incredibly important mentor of Kala, and you'll hear in her words about what his guidance and collaborations meant to her. Kala talked to me about some of her many cross-genre collaborations, including her fantastic albums with tabla master Bikram Ghosh and her inventive trio with George Brooks and Gwyneth Wentink and you'll hear some of that music as well (albums linked below).

S4-Ep.1 The Doors-Self-Titled Release (Elektra) Released January 4, 1967, Recorded August of 1966 Elektra Records The Doors is a groundbreaking debut album that blends rock, blues, jazz, and psychedelia with a unique poetic sensibility, largely driven by Jim Morrison's dark, introspective lyrics. Recorded in just six days, the album features a distinctive sound, notably Ray Manzarek's Vox Continental organ, Robby Krieger's flamenco-inspired guitar work, and John Densmore's jazzy drum style. Key tracks like "Light My Fire," with its iconic organ riff and extended solos, and "Break On Through (To the Other Side)," with its rebellious energy, set the stage for the band's rise to fame. The album's fusion of musical styles, alongside Morrison's mysticism and philosophical themes, made it an instant classic, peaking at #2 on the U.S. charts. While not all tracks are equally memorable, The Doors established the band as one of rock music's most innovative and influential forces during the 1960s. Signature Tracks Discussed "Light My Fire," "Break On Through (To The Other Side)" "The End" Playlists: YouTube Playlist, Spotify Playlist
In this episode, Exene Cervenka sits in to discuss the writing and recording of X's 1983 fan-favorite single, "I Must Not Think Bad Thoughts." She reflects on the eclectic influences that shaped the song, from Ray Manzarek's unique production approach to the band's distinctive blend of punk rock with other genres. Exene shares how the song features a wide variety of subject matter, from wars around the world to American bands that weren't getting played on the radio, while balancing political and social commentary with personal experiences. The conversation explores the band's vocal experimentation, the evolution of punk rock, and the significance of embracing serious themes through music.

Stephen has picked some crackers in the past, and this time, he's chosen the iconic 1991 biopic The Doors. The production of The Doors (1991), directed by Oliver Stone, was a passionate and meticulous effort to capture the wild spirit of Jim Morrison and the iconic 1960s rock band. Stone, known for his intense filmmaking style, had long been fascinated by Morrison and sought to tell a story that reflected both the mysticism and chaos surrounding the band's rise to fame. Val Kilmer was cast as Jim Morrison, with his intense commitment to the role standing out—Kilmer spent months studying Morrison's mannerisms, voice, and even his singing style. The film incorporated many real-life locations from the band's history, including Los Angeles' Sunset Strip, and used these settings to evoke the authentic feel of the late '60s counterculture. Stone's production team faced the challenge of balancing a factual representation of the band's history with a more stylized, mythical portrayal of Morrison's journey. With the help of surviving band members like Ray Manzarek and Robby Krieger, the production sought to ensure the film remained true to the music and the spirit of The Doors. However, some of Morrison's portrayal as a self-destructive, hedonistic figure led to disputes over historical accuracy, with band members and critics arguing that Stone leaned too heavily on the mythic aspects of Morrison's persona. Despite these debates, the film was praised for its dynamic cinematography, a powerful performance by Kilmer, and a soundtrack that introduced The Doors' music to a new generation.

The film chronicles Morrison's journey from a college student in Los Angeles to a countercultural icon, exploring his deep connection to music, poetry, and the darker aspects of his psyche. As the band gains fame, Morrison's increasing substance abuse and erratic behavior lead to tensions with his bandmates and those closest to him. thevhsstrikesback@gmail.com https://linktr.ee/vhsstrikesback --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/thevhsstrikesback/support

Baxie talks to the legendary John Doe from X! For the last 47 years X has been one of the most important and respected bands in America. Not only do two of their albums reside amongst Rolling Stones Magazine's list of the Top 500 Greatest Albums of All Time (1980's Los Angeles and their 1981 follow-up Wild Gift), they just released the final album of their career--"Smoke and Fiction". And to be honest, it's arguably one of the best albums that they've released in years! John talks about that, their "Final Tour" (including their upcoming show at the Wilbur Theater in Boston on September 23rd), their fans, being produced by the late Ray Manzarek of The Doors, his bandmates (Exene Cervenka, Billy Zoom, and DJ Bonebreak) and much more!

Ray Manzarek reprises the creation and connections of 'Riders on the Storm.'
EP256: X - More Fun in the New World - Beginning with their debut “Los Angeles” in 1979, X put out four consecutive nearly perfect records culminating with “More Fun in the New World" in 1983. It would be their last album produced by Ray Manzarek and the bands sound would more overtly incorporate elements of Roots Rock and Americana whole John Doe and Exene Cervenka's lyrics would begin leaning into current events and political and social happenings in addition to the amazingly detailed, heart wrenching observations from their personal lives. Maybe more than any previous release, More Fun in the New World is the sound of X starting down adulthood.

The Doors were one of the most influential and iconic bands of the 1960s – they built a dark counterculture sound on a foundation of Ray Manzarek's organ playing that combined elements of poetry, blues, rock and roll, jazz, and psychedelic music. At the front of it all was their charismatic, volatile, and enigmatic lead singer Jim Morrison. There's no doubt that he was the embodiment of the whole sex, drugs, and rock and roll thing. The good looking frontman who helped forge his legacy by dying young. But was Jim Morrison a brilliant visionary or a rock and roll buffoon? On one hand, he saw himself as the Lizard King. A poet and mystic who was influenced by his background in literature and film. On the other hand, Jim was also an erratic, self-indulgent showman. A hardcore alcoholic who clashed with his parents, his bandmates, and most famously, the police.

Robby Krieger On Live At The Matrix 1967: The Original MastersThe Doors were a few months away from stardom in March 1967 when they played five sparsely attended shows at a small club in San Francisco called The Matrix. These uninhibited performances would have been fleeting if not for Peter Abram, who co-owned the pizza parlor-turned-nightclub with Jefferson Airplane founder Marty Balin. An avid recordist, Abram taped concerts at The Matrix regularly and his recordings of The Doors, made between March 7-11, 1967, spawned one of the band's most storied bootlegs. At long last, all known Matrix recordings, sourced entirely from Abram's original master recordings, will be released on September 8.Bootlegs of The Matrix shows have circulated among fans for years and were popular despite the poor audio quality of most copies. The sound began improving in 1997 when the first two songs from The Matrix shows were officially released on The Doors: Box Set. Even more performances followed in 2008 on Live at the Matrix 1967; regrettably, it was discovered soon after that all the recordings were sourced from third-generation tapes, not the originals. Today, Abram's original recordings have been remastered by Bruce Botnick, The Doors' longtime engineer/mixer, for official release. The vinyl version of LIVE AT THE MATRIX 1967: THE ORIGINAL MASTERS includes all 37 songs from the shows sourced from the master tapes. Except for 15 songs released in 2017 and 2018 as Record Store Day exclusives, most of the newly upgraded live recordings are making their debut in the collection, including eight that have never been featured on any of the previous Matrix releases.It's easy to understand the enduring appeal of these vintage performances by Jim Morrison, Ray Manzarek, Robby Krieger, and John Densmore. Recorded only a few months before “Light My Fire” propelled the band to worldwide success, the tapes capture The Doors playing a wide range of songs, including several from their self-titled debut, like “Break On Through,” “Soul Kitchen,” and “The End.” They also performed half the songs destined for the group's soon-to-be-recorded second album, Strange Days, including early performances of “Moonlight Drive” and “People Are Strange.” 15 Sets of music over five nights at The Matrix gave the band time to indulge its love of the blues with extended covers of “I'm A King Bee” and “Crawling King Snake.” The Doors even delivered an instrumental version of “Summertime.” These special moments all contribute to making Live at The Matrix, 1967all the more fascinating and important, as it showcases The Doors as the nascent struggling young band they were.

Broken Record with Rick Rubin, Malcolm Gladwell, Bruce Headlam and Justin Richmond
Today we have a fun follow-up to last week's episode with Johnny Echols from the band Love. This week we'll hear Rick interview the last two living members of The Doors—guitarist Robby Krieger and drummer John Densmore—about coming up in the LA rock scene alongside the band Love, who The Doors idolized and then later eclipsed. The Doors formed in 1965 and burned white-hot, releasing six albums in five years, until the death of their larger than life lead singer, Jim Morrison. In their brief time as a band, The Doors quickly became one of the biggest acts of the late 60s. Their anti flower-power appeal was accentuated by Jim Morrison's heavy, brooding lyrics, and keyboardist Ray Manzarek's frenzied organ licks. On today's episode Rick Rubin talks to Robby Krieger and John Densmore about their tumultuous history with Jim Morrison—who John refers to as a “Kamikaze drunk.” Both Robbie and John recall LSD-fueled stories from their early gigs with The Doors. And the role Acapulco Gold played in Jim Morrison's songwriting process. Hear a playlist of all of our favorite Doors songs HERE. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
