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
🔥Picking away at this Marxophone!
👀 What do y’ all think should I add it to my shows? Haha
Yes! Sounds great!🎸
Has a very 1920’s vibe, perfect for the Alabama Song!!
It has that Doors kind of thing Put that sound on your next song Robby!
Singing the blues, love it!
That looks hard to play.
There’s still room for this atmospheric old instrument in many acts. Even if it’s an intro or reprise piece. I’m sure you can find some creative room for it , we will all look out for its mystical twang. Thanks for sharing 🌞
Oh show me the way to the next whiskey bar oh don't ask why
Sound Alabama Song....
Robby Krieger Yes sir! Can't imagine alot of acts pulling one of these out. Would love to hear that through a big system
Those things are awesome
Alabama song
Absolutely. Thing looks like an Ouija board.
I'll tell you a story about whisky, mystics and men.... Da da da. 🎵
Yes sounds beautiful 🥰
Pretty cool
Is there anything you can’t play Robby Krieger❤️
Shades of the film called The Third Man 🤠
I always thought it was Ray who played the Marxophone on Alabama song.....maybe it was Robby?
Blue Sunday
Strangely Festive

Humboldt Lagoon 2 days before the Earthquake.

Same one used on "Whiskey Bar"?
Man , I'd love to meet Robby Krieger
Just cooked up a new riff! 🔥
What do you think ?
I have a wonderful friend who can play keys and I could play rhythm for you!!!
Mirror shot reminds me of Ray's the Whole Thing Started with Rock n Roll and Now it's Outta Control album cover. As always, cool riff.
Sweet sound, Lil slow hand vibe going on Bro.
It sounds great! Like that guitarist from The Doors.
Just watched a clip on YouTube Doors live in NYC 1970, sing , "RoadHouse blues". Cops on stage as security.! A great band.
Sounds fabulous and great and timeless. Like a classic about to happen. You’ve got a knack for that Robbie! Some kind of connection to that. Way to go.
Lovely playing , keeping those creative juices flowing🌞
That is a great groove to kick the weekend off with!
Sweet n Spicy!! And yes you can use the name!!
Got to be Ed on Hammond. Sounds great Robby. Cheers 😎
nice one Robby Krieger don't know why but I just get Rising Phoenix in my head or Phoenix Rising and I just wrote what I felt I hope that's ok by you take it roll with it or not Jim inspired me to write well The Doors as a collective and many others Black Sabbath and Led Zeppelin Motorhead Jimi Hendrix and Cream mostly but the most influential on my writing would be The Doors. ✌️💖✨🤠
Sounds good 👍
Would like to listen to the whole Tune. Like the key you play in, Very Good Riff. All Right Robby !
It's a awesome vibe robby keep jamming and still staying strong
Sounds great
Just in time for Christmas
Love it Robby
Sounds good!
Catchy, my ears love it 🎸🏆💓💓💓
I've always wanted to sing with you on guitar Robby, let me know if I can audition. I know all the Doors songs!
I think you're the greatest, including the jazzy riff.
slow sweltering nights amidst the blinding neon lights each shinning star looking for a game to burn a brighter flame this vanity of humanity will drive you insane just a number just a name another label another mind-bending game another phoenix rising from the ashes transcendence inevitable enjoy the ride!
Everything you play is magic Robby!
I can feel it, go Robby go!
Groovy 🎶
🫶When I’m gone I hope people listen to my music and feel something. That’s always been my goal for even after I’m gone my music still makes people FEEL something.
🤔What do you hope to leave behind in your legacy?
Met you, Robbie, if that's really you, at the Whiskey summer of '67. I came to see Johnny Rivers and wound up meeting y'all. Then again in the '90s when my son told me you were his fav guitarist. So we had to catch you and your band in Cleveland. We came back to your dressing room after the show to say hi and you were very gracious to show my son a couple of chords. I think they'll still be playing your riffs in a thousand years. Thanks for the memories, bud...
They will be playing your songs through the ages of that. I am sure, my brother! Your music has that timeless touch .
I can still hear the same transcendental sound here as drove the Doors' music. Thank you for shaping the beautiful side of humanity!
I hope to leave behind a great music collection that includes your music. Thanks for all your work that I have enjoyed for such a long time.
There is no worry about that. Your legacy as a musician and songwriter will last beyond anybody using Facebook. After 60 years, The Doors continue to be discovered by new generations because the music still speaks to them. It will always speak to younger generations which means they will continue on beyond all of us. You have gifted future generations with a community experience which brings people together. Your legacy is in no doubt. And I thank you for it.
I hope people read my book and feel happy and advocate for animals and nature.
Well first of all don't go anytime soon! That would made me incredibly sad ❤️Then to answer your question, I hope to leave my children and grandchildren with knowing what unconditional love is.
You and The Doors will be cherished for a very long time Robbie, The Music you created is timeless there is no ageing process in timeless. As a musician and a human being , you are very much loved ! We are all very lucky to share in the same Life Flame 🔥 🌞
Maybe to the select few that know me. Might actually know how passionate, emotional, sensitive, caring and empathetic I am. But for me, no one will fully know all of what I’ve done. All but the creator. What we’ve done pleasing to others is nice, but the fuel of fire in your soul of what truly has a hold on you, and it just comes out naturally. That’s the pure beauty in each of us that defines us. Kind of what Jim did naturally, and you in your own ways.
I pray to do the same math my music and writings.
No question, your music will be played as long as music is played anywhere. As for me, I'd like to take photos of people like yourself so that when people hear that music and want to see what that person looked like when they played, I'll have taken that photo. Documenting greatness.
What a good question..and I don't know..other than maybe I made something better in someones future..I believe in that.and that's about it
I have absolutely felt joy when listening to your guitar playing Robby! Your solo on Light my Fire, live 1970. Your slide on Wild Child and your wild riff and solo on Peace Frog just to name a few!
That one person benefitted from knowing me. Thank you for sharing your musical gift, you are amazing.

Your music will live on and people will feel something from it generation after generation , it's an important time when someone discovers the doors...I wish I could go back and discover the doors for the first time again.
Pretty good, this sounds somewhat like some jazzy music on An American Prayer💥
~ wow... What a Beautiful dream that came true! ~ your beautiful Dream🙌🏻🫶🏻
Most definitely Robby! That’s one thing you don’t have to worry about. Just look at Jim and Rays legacy and how strong they’re influences still are today, so you’re covered 100%
We will always be listening to your music...
A long line of creativeness. Not limited, but crossing boundaries.
Well you’ve definitely achieved your goal! Without question.
🎸From smoky jazz clubs to crazy rock shows, anywhere I can create music is where I want to be.
And the Soul Kitchen incarnation playing Atlantic City a few years back featuring Arthur Burrows and great horns and keyboards: Priceless* A great personal memory and experience for me!
And where you are creating it is where I’d like to be! Genius at work!

Det er fedt når man kan have sin hobby som arbejde.Istedet for at man har et møgjob som man kun har fordi at det er nødvendig at få nogle penge så man kan overleve.🙂🙂🙂

I don’t know what you’re jamming to but I make sure to watch The Door’s 68’ Hollywood Bowl show at least once a year! It’s my favorite concert of all time even if I wasn’t even close to being born yet!
Love me 2 times
Soul Kitchen
The beautiful Pink Floyd Us and Them piece that Ed Roth and yourself combined on. It is just flawless. ♥️😊♥️
Variety Is The Spice Of Life.
Break on through to the other side! My favourite Doors tune is Peace Frog ! I wish I was born 20 years earlier.
While my guitar gently weeps
just keep the volume level in the sweet spot, and you'll save your ears for more.
Theme de Yo-yo- Chicago Art Ensemble
Little Drummer Boy sung by Bing and Bowie.
Wild Child. That sounds good Robby, here we go...
You got a slide, so either Moonlight Drive or Who Do You Love? (or both).
“Blue Sunday “ remix I hope 🤞
Love her madly
