Parabéns felicidades rodso toca doorssssssS
Meeting you guys is always incredible, thank you if youโve ever supported me in this wild ride.
Iโm going to keep going as long as I can. I appreciate all of you. โค๏ธ
Met you on the Rock Legends Cruise and you were pretty funny.
Portland, ME. You signed my sister's boob with a sharpie. Hahahahaha!
Let it roll, baby, roll
Robbie, my friend Tom Teves, lived two doors down from Ray's market. We used to sit in the Ally and listen to you guys practice in his detached garage upstairs. We didn't have a clue who you were in 65-66. We just said "hey! those guys are pretty good!!
Met you at "the Egg" in Albany, NY years back when you were playing with Ray, probably 2012ish. I was breaking your singer's chops a bit. Ray was chatty.. you talked to me like we were friends for years. I suppose in a sense we really were.
robbie maybe one day if you are ever in baltimore our paths will cross hopefully! I met Ray here in baltimore many years ago when he was touring with mike mcclure. I got to shake hands with Ray and chat with him. he was so nice and kind to me.
Ride the snake to the lake and back again on a moonlight drive
Robby, it’s an inspiration to me and most everyone that you are still playing and out there doing shows when most of us seniors retired and stopped working due to health reasons in my case a bad back, neck and damage to both my feet and also type 2 diabetes plus the stress and long hours. You really love what you do and your fans, and we appreciate and love you for it. You make me appreciate the good old days and the music I grew up listening too with the cherished memories. I hope you never stop playing.
Atlantic City 2001 at the never to be seen on TV VH1 concert with Vanilla Fudge. You guys had to do the show twice due to the truck being struck by lightning. Awesome show.
It was a dream come true. That smile was stuck on my face for the longest time!โค๏ธ๐ถโ๏ธ
Break on through... YEAHโผ๏ธ
Detroit could use a little Robby Krieger
So much love โค๏ธ
Thank you for your music Robbie! You are a living legend!
Met you 3 times Robby! Always PERSONABLE! Greetings from Edmonton, Alberta. Canada. Keep rocking!
Glad you are still going strong! I saw you in the early 90s somewhere on the Sunset Strip. I moved back to Florida 25 years ago. Just missed you a few years back in Melbourne.... I love your guitar playing! You have your own astounding voice that sounds all your own. I'm going to get your book soon!
Ciao mitico R. Krieger....grande musicista...legend The Doors
Lupos Heartbreak Hotel, Providence, early 80's...you were very approachable.
Every day you guys rise to me robby your band inspired my life and groove i love the fuck hell out of you
One of my favorite guitarist and โค๏ธthe Doorsโ๐ป
See you soon! ๐ธ ๐
We Love You Robby Krieger!!! ๐ถ๐ถ๐ถ
Love and miss you Robby Krieger โค๏ธ
Listened to your music just last night, love it! Keep rocking!
God bless you, Robby! I have never had the chance to meet you, but I want you to know that your music was the soundtrack of my teenage years and still is a significant part of my life. I wish you plenty of health and happiness!
What was the first song youโd want to learn if you started playing guitar?
Spanish Caravan . Kidding of course. I have been playing 45 years, and that is way out of my reach.
Purple Haze. Hey joe. Break on through. Light my Fire ๐ฅ
I Can’t Explain, Gloria, Not Fade Away. You see the theme here? ๐
Smoke On The Water, but I would prefer to play it on a tuba rather than a guitar. Make that an electric tuba.
Yo Ho Heave Ho. If it has to be a Doors song I would have to say "Universal Mind" or "The Spy". These are Jim's masterpieces that spoke to me personally.
Mean Town Blues Johnny Winter. Still can only play a snatch or two of it!
Me and Bobby McGee... as sung by Janis Joplin.. ๐ธ๐ต๐ค๐ถ๐ธ
'All My Buddies Write Music for the CIA'
King of the Road! I'm sure that my Mom was so pleased that her eleven year old was learning songs about picking up cigar butts on the road and smoking them!
When I first started playing the guitar at 12 yrs old I learned how to play Gloria and I’m not your Stepping Stone ๐
The riff of Roadhouse Blues
Back then 1967 I started with a cheap electric guitar learning "Love Me Two Times"!! ๐๐ถ๐
Around 40 years ago one of the first things i ever learned on the guitar was the opening riff to Love Me Two Times
I understand the standard song when I was growing up was Johnny Be Good. And of course "Rumble" which is a chord progression, not really a riff? Satisfication?
Well it all depends! Are we talking about one of the doors songs? Or just any song? Your songs are quite difficult to pic, so I would say the spy song! I love acoustic guitar so if it wasn't the doors I would take Neil Young sugar mountain
Orange County suite. Taught myself how to play that
That very first dirty dive bombing guitar note in the 1967 song When I was young' by Eric Burdon and The Animals. Simple but effective. Outside of that, your sitar work on 'The End' also from 1967! Immense.
Already been playing for 48 years but the first song I learned how to was little black egg. I don't remember who recorded that song. It was a pretty horrendous song but that was the first one I learned how to play. It was either that or secret agent Man
Gimme Three Steps (Skykynrd).
Cheek to cheek.... version Chet Atkins...
The acoustic solo in "Year of the Cat". (And pretty everything Doors or B-52s related.)
Spanish caravan/Shine on you crazy diamond/ Sultans of swings/ Comfortably numb/ Starway to heaven/ Roadhouse blues/ Cocaine/ Rings of Fire / Smoke on the water/ Paranoid
One of the first songs that introduced me to a taste of Spanish Guitar was Spanish Caravan. ๐ฅ Flash forward, I’ve been a Spanish Guitarist for the last 25 years. I’d love to have you on my podcast for a quick look into your passion and history with Flamenco Guitar. ๐๐ผ Thanks Robby Krieger!
Moonlight drive. I love that melody like a cats scream with the bottleneck
"Light My Fire". Always loved that guitar solo, the keyboard intro, ect. John Coltrane's, "My Favorite Things" album influenced a whole lot of people. Either that, or, "Moonlight On Vermont", by Captain Beefheart and his Magic Band. Otherwise, anything from Gabor Szabo's album, "Dreams".

Quando venite in Italia
I cannot wait to play these shows, itโs going to a party - who has tickets already? Link in bio!
Segovia, Aguado, Sor,...? Oh perhaps Feliciano! He even covered you!
See you in whisky
One of the most underrated guitar players I saw the Doors Live three times
Going to your bday celebration. I saw you at Griffith Park too, I have never seen a show at the Whisky. My older cousin who lives in LA regularly used to go to the Whisky to see the Doors in 1966 and always told me how good a band you were. He gave me all of his original Doors Whisky posters. Unfortunately they disappeared over the years but I was fascinated by the whole thing. I was only 7 in 1966 so a little to young to see your show but old enough to still want to go!
London Fog ‘66 for me! ๐ซ๏ธ
Gotta come back East soon Mr Krieger! โ๏ธ ๐ธ
What's the chance, of you playing in cleveland ohio? I seen you guys play at house of blues when you , ray, Jon, were playing with lead singer from fuel? 20th century fox. That was amazing! To be able to be in Same room as you guys. Been a huge fan since I was a kid!!! I used to have so many doors merchandise, from posters, shirts, Jim's poetry,books, albums, and so much more, but all got lost, while life wasn't good. I love you regardless!!
I really wish you would come back to CT. (Connecticut). That would be so nice. ๐ต๐ค๐ถ๐ธ๐ธ๐ธ๐
Hey Robby Krieger please come and play Sacramento. You could book at Ace of Spades in Sacramento, or you could book the outdoor Roseville Ampotheater. It's my life's mission to see you play live, and I live in Sacramento. I really have been wanting to make a pilgrimage to LA to see you the last 5 years. Life gets in the way. But I love and respect your skills, and pray I get to see you. Most of all I hope you are healthy and happy man! Much love bro, I mean, Mr. Krieger.
Robby please play London UK soon.
Robby Krieger please come to the Northeast soon!!
Veni a Argentina!! te estamos esperando!
See you soon Birthday Boy !!!
Robby ìtsJim. Do you remember when we were in Africa?
Robby- Wish you'd come out to the Chicago area! Would love to see you play.
We got 4!
I’d love to see you here in New Jersey! You should book a show at the Wellmont Theatre in Montclair!
Me!
Wish I could go! I met Ray Manzarek once by chance in 1993. He bought an item from Oshman's Sporting Goods, where I was a cashier. Ray was so kind and friendly. He talked to me for several minutes. Wonderful memory!
Love you remember buying me a drink at Otto’s in Dekalb twenty five year’s ago! Well I do! Magical!
The Greek was amazing. Thanks Robbie. Do it Robbie do it.
Ever in the NY area Robby?
I'm coming out to your show in May Robby!
love ya massively Robby!
Robby Krieger Happy birthday for next month, Robby. ๐๐ธ
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 shouldnโt 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 artโฆnow 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.
โI hope my paintings brings joy and love to art lovers for many years to come.โ – Robby Krieger
