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

I want to see Robby live at The Whisky for every album in 2025! I was lucky enough to fly in from Alabama for The Soft Parade album at The Whisky last year!

There's a load coming up at the Whisky later this year. I'd quite like to be at all of those. 😊. I think you should come back, and do another show at The London Roundhouse. It will be much closer to me. I'm thinking of coming back to LA though 🙏🙌

As many of your Whiskey shows that I can this year!

Love to go to at least once a week,but,that probably won t happen!😆

You will have meet and greet packages?

Any Danish shows coming up, Robby ?

I attended in late October, Andrew Cole sang Roadhouse Blues with the band, his house burned down. He has a go fund me. I'm planning on two shows, I live in Cabo now, but I will make the drive for Robby GO-GO Time!

BTW, Robby. I read in a recent magazine about the Doors where you said you were driving and some guy recognized you and came over to your window and suggested you guys take acid and die together. You told him Okay next week. That was one of the funniest things I ever read. I knew you had a sense if humor.

I hope to see a concert of yours one day

All the ones near me so come here!! Bethlehem PA area ❤️❤️❤️

As long as I can see you one more time Robby, thats my goal. Viva Krieger!!

I saw you at City Winery in Boston and I loved it. I wish I got to tell you how much the Doors music has helped me, especially when it came to my late sister's death.

Very much dependent on where you play!

I hope you come to Europe!

I want to attend the 4 of them but If I have to pick up one, I'll choose The Doors album night

All of 'em that Robby is in . . .

Denver!

I hope to go to the next one.

Come back to the Stone Pony

I see at least a show every week, sometimes 2-3. In 1995 I saw 378 DIFFERENT Artists/Bands performing. You say, "But there's only 365 days in a year". Yes but, I said "Artists". I went to 302 shows, most of them were festivals where at least 5-20 Artists were performing... 😉 Also I was working in Radio in Los Angeles and during "Music Awards Week" I'd see like 4-5 shows a day. Running up and down The Sunset Strip to all the Venues to see a Band say at The Whisky then to Viper then back to Whisky and so on... Great times!

1. See Robby perform in the UK. Hint, hint...

Hopefully getting to see you again this year, for the 10th time.

I need to get back into a habit of live shows. Last year involved diagnosing some hearing loss. Hearing aids have made a huge difference but I haven't been to a show in some time. Take care of your ears!

I really can't wait to see you perform

Melbourne FL please🙏

That's incredible!!!

Will The Soft Parade have strings & horns? THAT would be amazing!

Love it! We will be at least a couple!

I wished I still lived in LA so I could be present for every show! The Soft Parade last year at The Whisky was fabulous!

Come to Mexico City Robby! ✌🏻🇲🇽

I can't go ..but is there a place we can purchase the posters

I’ve been listening to The Doors for 40 years starting with my dads old vinyls. This morning: my 18-month old and 5yo and I had a Doors dance party. Keep ripping it, Robbie!

Oh my! You play, we come! Wow! Thank you Robbie, I'll be in my usual spot waiting for you to come down those stairs. What a treat. Health and love to you.

Love the artwork! I wish I could attend each of those shows!

Do it Robby do it! 🎶🎶

I will be coming from Belgium 🇧🇪 to see you in April ❤️ thank you so much!

Oh, I sure wish I could attend but I'm in Oregon... hope you come back soon!

Morrison Hotel must be special!

Anybody know what tickets will go for? Or has anyone been to Krieger show in the past that can share the cost?

Lived with a one arm man

Legendary axe 🎸 man from days ‘o yore with Jim @ the helm 😎 ✝️🎙 & Robby @ the Door 🚪🎸 🇺🇸 🎹 🥁 🙏💕😎🤘

🔥What is the best guitar? There isn’t a right or wrong answer, what do you think it is?

🎸 I also don’t know they I could pick one out of mine because that’s like picking a favorite child and I could never haha.

In your hands my friend, the Gibson SG; but i like the sound of fender Jaguar

The best guitar is the one thats right for you at Any given time!

Gibson SG because of how it sounds in any of The Doors songs. To me the one with P90's sounds a little better than the Standard. I'm guessing now, but I think the Special was used for solos in Light My Fire and Indian Summer.

🔥 The best guitar is the one that connects you to the soul of your music. 🎸 But Robby, your SG has become part of the legend – let the music speak for itself!

The best guitar is the guitar that inspires you. I have a number of guitars, Gibson’s etc.. the one I find most inspiring is an old Ibanez acoustic that i rescued . Bridge was ripped off. Hole where the bridge came off, loose braces. Spent some time fixing it. I call it the possessed because it makes me play things I have never heard. Will never part with it. Plays like a dream. It owes me about $40 AUD. My 94 Les Paul Custom plus is pretty good too..

Best overall guitar I ever had...Fender Nashville Telecaster..2001... Bought it new.. ... Still use it.

Talk about a loaded question??? 😆. I read that Elvis had a car built from parts of all different cars that he loved..... it's time for the guitar version.🎸💙😎

Agreed. It really comes down to IMO. What feels comfortable in your hands.

The best guitar of all is the one you enjoy playing the most

90 percent of any guitar 🎸 is the player🎼 Do it Robby, do it! Maestro Legend Extraordinaire 🎼💕☮️🎸😎🙏🎙 🚪

Robbie can make any guitar sound good. He’s a savage on guitar and just a cool cat.

The one in your hands

The SG and prs acoustic Se 50 my faves and Ibanez K7 was one of my faves but u a Gibson man Robby

The Best Guitar is the one you play. Because at the end of the day if your the best Guitar player its not going to matter what Guitar your playing.

A well played one ... 🤟😋👍

The one in your hands

Gibson 335s I like, I just like Gibson anything over Fender anything. But that's me.

SOME FUNKY SHIT!

Love the jazzy and bluesy sound @

This sounds like the music in the Charlie Brown cartoons😊Fantastic🎼

the best guitar is the one you play, cause you 're THE BEST!!! ❤️🎸🎶😍🇧🇷☮️

You are loved❤️

~ the one that is most like a Tree... ... guitarists are only 'playing Trees'... (*tree wood... the Trees resonate our soul... it 'rings' and resounds our Expression... and We laugh... together... trees and guitarists... ~ just saying, Dear Friend🙌🏻

Ask Keith Richards he can make them all sound the same.

Gibson SGs and Epiphone SGs are great as far as I'm concerned there very comfortable
