Just saw this. Loved his music, his stories, his passion. He will be missed.

He's playing with the Lizard King now, and I hope they're rocking out mightily.

Interesting interview he did in '91. See it on YouTube. He emphatically supported Jim M. as a person and he hated Stone's portrayal. Ray co-founded the band with Robby at UCLA then he ran into Jim during film school classes.

Rest in Peace. The Doors were a very important part of my youth.

Damn, that sucks. I actually got to see him and the remaining Doors about 12 years ago. Even without Jim it was a really good show. Ray was a great musician.

R.I.P. Ray! :hatsoff:

Yeah, he was. For what the band was, (3 musicians), they had a lot fuller sound, then many of their peers.
