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.”

Robby Krieger is no exception as demonstrated in his creation of a collection of spectacular, never-before-seen works of artโ€ฆnow 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.
โ€œI hope my paintings brings joy and love to art lovers for many years to come.โ€ – Robby Krieger

The guitar would say " I'm a BASS, don't misinstrument me ever again!"

That would be fun if the beer bottle opener worked as a whammy bar when you insert a beer bottle and move.

I'm not a guitar would say

Not to mention the bottle opener.

youtu.be/tkMDle_vV3g?si=zzfjqjblCYFtQQst 3:53. The guitar trying to get Jim to stay

Maybe Jerry Scheff's from LA woman recordings?

It would say "I'm a Bass"

We know jim freaked out over Elvis bass player!

Why 3? That’s a house number right?

It's a bass !

"I'm thirsty"

Who's bass it is?...

One of The Doors session bassists?

How many beers has it opened?

It’s a bass!! ๐Ÿ˜’

*AN OLD/BASS.......LIKE THE OPENER*.

And the rocket's red glare,the bombs bursting in air,gave proof through the night that your bass was still there.

The Doors didn't have a bass player. That one pictured belongs to Dan Rothschild, son of Doors producer.

If the Doors had a bass player, he must have been invisible.๐Ÿค”

Maybe the bass from their first bass player, when they were first starting out, it was a woman

Notes played, beers opened and hearts broken.

Mr. K. Looks like an authentic Electric Bass Guitar . The Doors are Ray Manzareck on Keyboards and piano , Jim Morrison on Vocals Robbie Krieger on Electric guitar, John Densmore on percussion . Friend Emo D Debonair Dan

That guitar has told many stories Robbie. It kinda does talk to us.

That’s a Bass.

It does talk but it's a bass guitar. Lead guitar has 6 strings and can not only talk but sing.

Thank you so much, maestro krieger !.....for all the groovey tunes & times......as the sage spoketh....." if i don't see you no more on this world !"

Thank YOU Robby for doing these shows & keeping The Doors alive. I had a BLAST @ Waiting For The Sun show @ Whisky!!! Thank you!!!

Let it roll baby roll!! ๐ŸŽธ ๐Ÿ˜Ž

Your songs were the most famous by the band Robby. Thank you! My brother saw you at Whiskey, I think I '67. He was in a rehab facility nearby called Synanon and was enthralled by the Doors, plus all the chicks there

I'm sure Jim and Ray will appreciate Robby and John keeping the legacy alive as do the fans. As an L.A. native I am so proud of this iconic L.A. band that broke the "doors" wide open for a dedicated and appreciative world audience. I'd love to see the soft parade show at the Whiskey but doubt I'll get a ticket which will go to friends and insiders.

Do you still write songs. Put out an album now, throw us fans a bone like Ringo and start doing EPs every year or so.

Best birthday, ever! I liked that the art at Whisky made it feel like Jim was watching over the evening.

So cool. Im not surprised Robby still has a devoted audience!

Always awesome nights!! โค๏ธ๐Ÿ”ฅ๐ŸŽถ๐ŸŽธ๐Ÿ‡ง๐Ÿ‡ท

Love you legend!!!

Some are born to sweet delight. Some are born to the end of the night….โค๏ธ

Again, you’re to far from meeee!!! You were my first album and favorite band ever. The doors have a special place in my heart. โค๏ธ

Please come to peoria,ilโค๏ธโค๏ธโค๏ธโค๏ธ๐Ÿ’•๐Ÿ’•

after 60 years the Doors have a following Jim & Ray RIP

Do it Robby!!! Do it!!!

RIGHT ON ROBBY, DO IT''

You really are one of the nicest guys in the world Robby. You shine a light.

Krieger is awesome

Had a great time, ๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿผ๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿผ

Robbie you doing , the Acadia or Des Plaines theater this year ? ๐Ÿ™

Photos from The Canyon Club in Agoura Hills, 2015 !!!

Fun Show !! Wish i could make The Soft parade !

Good on you Robbie ๐Ÿฅฐ๐ŸŒธ

'End of the Night' sounds like a good title for a song.

Please come visit NY again ๐Ÿ–ค

Are you and Waylon doing the duet, for Runnin Blue? Alright look at my shoes.....

Robby, invite John Densmore to the whiskey this month๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿฝ

“And I know… it will be… an easy riiide! Yah!”

I'd like to hear that. Can you/would you post a complete performance? It's my favorite Doors album.

I saw last years 55th anniversary of The Soft Parade at The Whisky it was so cool! Those of you lucky enough to be going to this July gig are in for a real treat! Kinda like a dream come true for fans!

๏ฟผ I got to see Robby at a carnival in Bensalem PA,(1991) it was members of the Allman Brothers band ๏ฟผand members of ๏ฟผthe doors, I was sitting on the stage when Robbie came out, I asked him if it was OK if I sat there and he said yes and I said can I take one picture and he said yes not only an awesome guy and guitarist, ๏ฟผbut it was an awesome show, thanks Robby๏ฟผ

On my wish list๐Ÿ’– I remember that beautiful Billboard with the Doors faces when you first played the Whiskey. Among my most treasured memories of the Strip๐Ÿ’–

I’m praying Robby performs, ‘Who Scared You’!!! And then‘Universal Mind’ !!!

I was trying to look up Robby bio last night an Everytime I punched in his name to look up they kept shutting off my internet.

I saw Robby at the Whiskey in September 2022... excellent show.. never saw the Doors but bought their albums when they were released... go see Robby wherever he plays

Congratulations on your 60th anniversary of the world famous door's unlocked 8pm Robby Krieger and the band

Looking for a ticket if anyone can’t go ๐Ÿ’ช

Let it roll baby roll

I wish I was there! I still have the first five original albums from the 60s and 70s. Fabulous music Robby! Thank you Sir!

Is there a way you can live stream it so us people on the east coast can enjoy it to? I am willing to pay for it Thanks

I wish, I wish, I wish that I could be there! I met you & Waylon years ago after a show in CT. You were amazing!!

What a dream come true this would be!!!! I was only 11 when Jim passed so I never got to see my favorite band in person. Have a wonderful time you lucky people!

Snagged tickets and coming from the UK for this gig! Sooooo excited! See you soon Robby Krieger xxx

So many critics slammed Soft Parade saying it was their weakest effort and it's always been my favorite Doors album, and introduce me to jazz, just shows you the critics usually know nothing about what appeals to fans

Wish I could but I'm away on vacation, see you at other LA shows in the future. Have a great show! You always deliver the best performances!

I been waiting for this one! To say I'm excited would be gigantically underselling it. Viva Robby Krieger!!!! Viva the Doors!!!!

Awesome!! Stream it live on you tube for your international fans ๐Ÿค˜๐Ÿผ

I will be there! Can’t wait! Coming from NY for the show.

Wish I had tickets..

Brian Lapin if you come across any tickets for this, it would blow my mind!!

Some nights the noise offstage hits just as hard as the music. Energy like that stays with you.

The energy in the crowd in last years Soft Parade gig was electrifying! We all sang the album to the music waiting for The LEGEND Mr. Robby Krieger to take the stage at The Whisky!

"It could of been named, kiss my ass & still sold!"

When the musics over….. ๐Ÿซก๐ŸŽธ๐Ÿฅ๐ŸŽน๐ŸŽค๐Ÿ˜Ž๐ŸŒฒ๐Ÿ‡บ๐Ÿ‡ธ๐Ÿค˜โœจ๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿ™๐Ÿปโœ๏ธโ˜ฎ๏ธ๐Ÿ’“

Omg! That’s actually my hand holding ๏ฟผ”paris blues” when Robby signed it. Waiting for the Sun was a great show. As all the others! So happy ๐Ÿ™‚

After last concert in Chicago, I handed him his autobiography to sign & personalize. Never hesitated. Class act! Always!

Robby is a true guitar hero.Glad he's celebrated as such.

I enjoyed watching you perform! Hope to see you in AZ soon!๐ŸŽธ๐Ÿฅ๐ŸŽธ

Robby, seeing you perform is the best musical experience! You own the Whiskey a Go Go!

Always so great with the fans!

Always the best vibration!! Love โค๏ธ ๐ŸŽธ๐ŸŽถ๐Ÿ‡ง๐Ÿ‡ทโ˜ฎ๏ธ

Love this guy.

You're a Great man Robby, thank you for everything you have given the world!

Love the interaction with the audience!!!

Robby I’m sure it’s a great feeling!

It’s a awesome thing how you respond to the fans that love you so much. Me too! ๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿผ

Have I told you Mr. Krieger how much I adore you.

Love you Robby! Love The Doors!

The energy is the coolest thing I’ve ever experienced!!! ๐Ÿ’žโค๏ธ๐Ÿ’–

Why yes it does!

Robby is really nice like that. He knows the transference of his energy means a lot to people.
