Robert Alan Krieger, born January 8, 1946, in Los Angeles, is a musical performer and The Doors guitarist. He attended UCLA. “The first music I heard that I liked was Peter and the Wolf. I accidentally sat and broke the record (I was about seven). Then I listened to rock ‘n’ roll – I listened to the radio a lot – Fats Domino, Elvis, The Platters.
“I started surfing at fourteen. There was lots of classical music in my house. My father liked march music. There was a piano at home. I studied trumpet at ten, but nothing came of it. Then I started playing blues on the piano?no lessons though. When I was seventeen, I started playing guitar. I used my friend’s guitar. I didn’t get my own until I was eighteen. It was a Mexican flamenco guitar. I took flamenco lessons for a few months. I switched around from folk to flamenco to blues to rock ‘n’ roll.
“Records got me into the blues. Some of the newer rock ‘n’ roll, such as the Paul Butterfield Blues Band. If it hadn’t been for Butterfield going electric, I probably wouldn’t have gone rock ‘n’ roll.
I didn’t plan on rock ‘n’ roll. I wanted to learn jazz; I got to know some people doing rock ‘n’ roll with jazz, and I thought I could make money playing music. In rock ‘n’ roll you can realize anything that you can in jazz or anything. There’s no limitation other than the beat. You have more freedom than you do in anything except jazz – which is dying – as far as making any money is concerned.
“In The Doors we have both musicians and poets, and both know of each other’s art, so we can effect a synthesis. In the case of Tim Buckley or Dylan you have one man’s ideas. Most groups today aren’t groups. In a true group all the members create the arrangements among themselves.”
Most people know Robby Krieger as the consummate music artist in his role as former guitar player and songwriter of the legendary band The Doors.
What shouldn’t be surprising is that creativity has no boundaries and many times artistic expression will spill over into more then one medium for the artist.
Robby Krieger is no exception as demonstrated in his creation of a collection of spectacular, never-before-seen works of art…now available to art lovers and Robby fans.
Now, through the charity services organization, ART FOR A CAUSE, limited edition, giclee prints of his beautiful paintings will, for the first time, be available to the fans of Robby Krieger.
“I hope my paintings brings joy and love to art lovers for many years to come.” – Robby Krieger

The Doors are my all time favorite group...but seriously? This guy cannot sing...
Best slide work ever on that song with the vibrato.going at the same time and the slide moving without picking at certain times makes it sound like a nother instrument.My favorite live song of yours.Waiting for the sun was Heavy metal and as Black Sabbath in 69.Very underated Robbie,very.Very influential.
Fantastic! Happy New Year Robby!!

Happy birthday Robby Krieger! You are easily one of the greatest and most underrated guitarists of the 20th century. Not only that but an incredible songwriter in your own right. I don't think the doors would have been the same without you just the same as it would not have been without Jim, Ray, or John.
Happy Birthday to you, Mr. Krieger. I hope that everybody treated you just like "The KING (Of guitar playing/songwriting)," that you are, cuz, U-DA-MAN. ENJOY. 🙂
I remember getting up early to watch the Formula 1 Spanish Grand Prix on television. The music sounded like Robbie. It dawned on me it was indeed "Spanish Caravan" on the world feed prior to the race. Announcer Bob Varsha gave full credit to THE DOORS as he began to cover the race. Thanks, Robbie!
Happy birthday to you Mr. Krieger!!!!Greetings from Mexico!!
Robby, have a happy, healthy, birthday cuz. Your Crystal Ship came in. Hold it tight and enjoy your big day!! Miss you.
Happy 75th Birthday Robby! Tonight I raise my glass from up here in Canada, and make a toast you. Thank you for all the beautiful music you've given us. Please stay safe & healthy sir.
Happy birthday Robby...you are the best 🙂
happy birthday Robby and thank you for still doing what you do! it's so great to hear your music live hoping to see you soon!
Happy birthday robbie....I was lucky to have seen you perform at poplar creek, near Chicago.. i think as the doors even?, was around the time when Oliver stones movie came out....lots of great energy , I remember we started to rush the stage with revolution in the air..... Don't know why or what we would have done , which is why we stopped I guess..lmao (probably all the good acid and great vibes) thanks for the memories Robbie! It was an honor to witness... The mid 80s to mid 90s were my generations 1960s.
Happy Birthday!! Thanks for all the music!!
Happy Bday Mr Krieger! 👏✨
I don't know for sure ho must be more happy.... you or us for your birthday! Any way... happy birthday maestro! Stay healthy... stay sharp and keep rocking! Greetings from Greece!!!
Great photo! Happy Birthday to one of the best! ❤️
Happy 75th Robby! Thank you for decades of fine music!
Happy B'day Robbie, I think I'll play tonight, Crystal Ship from the Versions album. Maybe sing a verse of "We are the old" (from MwC)
Congrats Mr Krieger! Your an amazing Legend !
Anyway, the mood in 1970 in Detroit area was one of happiness and uplifts because Detroit was very much a part of the music scene, having started the garage band movement and dozens of clubs having live bands for young adults to listen and dance and for music execs to look for talent.
The pillar of The Doors!🎸
Happy Birthday Robby. Thanks for being an great musician an expiration for many
A little haiku for the guitar genius...Robby May you have many more Songs to write, strum,sing and delight Happy BIRTHDAY, LOVE and light
Feliz cumpleaños maestro Robby. Aprovecho para darle las gracias por las letras que escribió y que me han inspirado tanto. Un abrazote hasta donde se encuentre.
Just played this song last night!'Happy Birthday Rob!
B200 and went downtown Detroit early and got a parking spot in an adjacent lot (lucky) and entered the areana. What a show u guys gave Robbie. It was epic and You know many many critics have that as a top five, if not the top, live performance ever given by The Doors. It appeared Jim was sober (to us anyway) very much with it and his voice was as good as ever. After your planned set you continued to play even though the curfew had past and officials kept saying you were being fined. I still cherish that night. I had a great seat and I bought the best ,music system money could buy once I heard The Doors were issuing the Live Recording of that concert. Since then I have continued listening to it and picking out rememberences every time. THANK YOU for continuing with your music. I have every album you have issued outside of The Doors. You are a guitar legend, so much under-rated by the industry, but we know better. Only the Mark Knopflers can come near your finger picking excellence. To many more Birthdays and Music.
So, May 8,1970 had The Doors playing at Cobo Arena with a warm up with John Sebastian (very much on the U of M scene). I had a ticket so I took my 1970 Datsun
🎈 Happy birthday Robby and thank you and other Doors members and producers for the great music 🎵 and performance.
