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

๐ธ Who can name this song? ๐ Answer will be in the comments!
Changeling ๐ฅ
Playing Changeling with my band…
The Changeling is a song that is a lot older than most of the songs on LA Woman. I think The Doors performed it many times in the early days and it didn't sound like it does now, the tune was perfected for LA Woman. Great track!
I love Dan singing The Changeling!
The Changeling,another great Doors song!
"I've never been so broke that I couldn't leave town."
Love Changeling, peach of a song. ๐๐๐

I would love to see you do a show in the Calif. Bay Area
Chicagoland - the west suburbs . I love the Acadia theater but also loved the venue back in 2012 when you were with Ray. I forgot the name, the ceiling was a glowing red dome and it was was very rustic, dingy and the smell of stail beer. Just the place The Doors would play at. Or depending on how many shows you wanna play, just pick certain cities. Simplify for yourself with all the work that goes in. Love ya Robby Krieger!!

I paint every day and can get lost in it. I'm not good or anything but I do enjoy it
Listening to you, playing guitar, watching some football at the moment.
Playing guitar, recording, hanging out with my cat Luna.
Playing piano for me ๐คฉ
My escape from the daily madness is actually only 1 hour a day Mon-Fri when I watch General Hospital. Those characters have some big, crazy problems.
Playing music and listening to music
Listening your music.
I miss just jamming ๐
Listening to The Doors especially watching the live performances and seeing Jim โค๏ธ
Walk in the nature, ear music that i love, see a good movie
Underrated guitarist
Music heals.
Gardening in above ground steel cattle containers, my 20 year old cockatiel pet bird that sings and talks to me and chickens, reading a lot, watching tv, working on cleaning and decluttering my rooms and watching and hearing you play guitar.
