this is what paul was using to transmit ideas into roger waters’ head telepathically

actually, back up. rewind this post. have we actually stopped to ask ourselves why he’s making a clay bust of roger waters? I mean. I’m sure it’s not directly on purpose, but at some point in making this, paul must have thought “wey hey! this looks like pink floyd’s bassist” like. there’s no way that didn’t cross his mind. that’s obviously his face. no one else looks like that. and it’s not like paul doesn’t know who he is. they’re acquaintances at best but they’ve met at least several times. what’s going on here

still asking this

#oh my god I’m laughing so hard I think I might be dying #girl why are you so talented

Valid evidence of an at least bi-curious Jim Morrison.

Also something in Ray’s book about Andy Warhol begging on his knees to be a voyeur to Jim and Nico sounds 100% like gay porn…

Remember that Jim ordered Andy to drop to his knees and beg BEFORE he zipped up his pants…

#just speculating #his sexuality means nothing to me #just a shipper #but seriously #I know gay porn when I see it #jim morrison

played for 3 hours straight this afternoon…never in my life have I loved practicing so much

okay I get why my right hand is in such pain. Ray was playing the bassline on his left, so everything else was left to the right hand (can’t imagine how he came up with that must’ve played too much Bach)

The solo part is crazy…I’m terrible with tempo and his solo has so much jazz in it that it felt like hell… tempocalypse 🤣 the beat was so free and wonderful when he played it but in my hands it became an erratic disaster. It’s like practicing the crave from 1900 all over again, only the crave was so hard I gave up ultimately 😭hope I get better at this.

Also I know there’s a more integral version in which Robby’s guitar is also transcribed, but I think I’ll just stick to the simpler version for now.

#piano magician ray manzarek #riders on the storm is a crazy song #playing the doors make piano so much more enjoyable #I kinda want to pick up classical piano again #and see if I can play jazz after several years of practicing #cuz jazz really is the hardest piano music in existence
