Well, I guess in retrospect, Ray aged well until at least July 2012. Cancer's a bitch! Sorry to see him go, and glad he left us some great music. |

Surely Tommy James has not fared as well as they gentleman sans Jim. Generation after generation of youth distinguish the Doors as one of the greatest and most favorite groups.

I love how the 'rock and roll' label embraces so much — Rolling Stones and King Crimson and Elvis Presley and Elvis Costello and Clapton and Doors and Scorpions and Captain Beyond and Led Zeppelin and Ozzie and Humble Pie and Little Feat and Frank Zappa and Abba and Wishbone Ash and They Might Be Giants and ....
Ok, maybe not TMBG.
I'd probably have left ABBA out (apart from the Scorpions). But maybe I'm too old school on that one. |

*I* can't really say I'm a Doors fan, but the more RP plays that's not @$)&)*&! "Riders on the Storm" the more I adore them. I swear to God Almighty, broadcast radio *is* the Antichrist.

I can't really say that I am a Doors fan, but the more time that passes the more I appreciate their artistry. True lasting power.

Silversun Pickups "Three Seed" into The Doors "Strange Days:" yet another seamless segue from the Master! (Side note: Chrome is a very fast browser, but it seems to demand more resources (like RAM) to achieve its speediness. This causes disruptions in the flow of the the audio stream from RP on my old computer. Chrome also does not work well with icons, like smileys). |

Au contraire, martinc! Ray played the bass line with his left hand on a Keys Bass.
from http://www.answerbag.com/q_view/508467
While the band never recruited a full-time bassist, it called upon some of Los Angeles's finest studio musicians to create their albums finishing with Elvis Presley bassist Jerry Scheff who brought a Memphis vibe to the band's final offering, L.A. Woman. Here are the guts they used and the albums that they appear on:The Doors - Larry Knechtal
Strange Days - Doug Lubahn
Waiting for the Sun - Doug Lubahn, Kerry Magness & Leroy Vinegar.
The Soft Parade - Harvey Brooks
Morrison Hotel - Ray Neapolitan & Lonnie Mack
L.A. Woman - Jerry Scheff
Other Voices - Jack Conrad, Ray Neopolitan & Willie Ruff
Full Circle - Chris Ethridge, Jack Conrad, Charles Larkey & Leland Sklar. |
