When this happens, it's usually because the owner only shared it with a small group of people, changed who can see it or it's been deleted.I figured SOMEBODY did! On the albums, I mean!
Yes I did, i read it off the Album covers more than 50 years ago, along with Douglas Lubahn, Ray Napolitan, Harvey Brooks and Jerry Scheff. It's harder to play keyboard bass parts on a bass guitar than it is on a keyboard.
You never seem bored telling the LIGHT MY FIRE story. I agree totally on your sentiment about Ray's bassline, how it's simplicity but oddness gave The Doors that hypnotic vibe. Maybe try messing around with the trumpet again?๐๐ช
Ah yes, the bass played on the keyboard most definitely had a huge impact on the music. It's what makes it what it is, and part of the reason why we all love it so much.
Yes I did. Larry played on the debut album “ The Doors”, released in January 1967.
Robbie it's JIMBO I'm having a gig at the whiskey under Walter Rocha group I wanna talk w u rock w u ๐ฆ ๐
My bass player friend that I've known for over 50 years did not like the Doors because of the bass. I loved the doors. Ironically, the song I wrote called Moonlight Driven Shadows, he played the bass for me and it enhanced the song. I wrote it as a tribute to Jim and Pam. Listen to it on Spotify. Lost Candles is the CD name.
Yes, Ray Manzarek, along with drummer John Densmore and guitarist Robby Krieger, were heavily involved in the Transcendental Meditation movement and introduced Jim Morrison to the teachings of the Hindu guru Maharishi Mahesh Yogi.The Connection to Maharishi Mahesh YogiThe Introduction: Manzarek, Densmore, and Krieger were dedicated attendees of the Maharishi's lectures in Los Angeles before he achieved massive global fame with The Beatles.The Concert/Lecture: Krieger famously recalled taking an initially skeptical, acid-dropping Morrison to see the Maharishi speak.The Lyrical Impact: The Doors' song "Take It As It Comes" was directly inspired by this exposure. The Maharishi frequently used that exact phrase during his spiritual discourses, which the band members repeated around Morrison until he adapted it into the track for their debut album.The Contrast in the BandWhile Manzarek and the others found structured clarity in Transcendental Meditation, Morrison preferred to seek his "break on through" via raw chaos, shamanism, and psychedelics, treating the formal guru path with distant curiosity rather than personal devotion
Great stuff to know, love to hear more stuff behind the scenes….! ๐
Now I have to go listen to Light My Fire ๐ฅ what a great interview telling the different bass players and the albums they played on with you Robby.
He made a marvelous job of it.

John Densmore was deeply fascinated by Hindu philosophy, particularly centered around the Hindu deity Krishna, which created a stark but fascinating contrast to Jim Morrison’s chaotic spirituality during the formation of The Doors.The Krishna ConnectionThe Altar: In the mid-1960s, before The Doors achieved massive global success, Densmore kept a dedicated spiritual setup on his bedside table. It featured a picture of the Hindu God Krishna, a lit candle, and a copy of Paramahansa Yogananda’s spiritual classic, Autobiography of a Yogi.The "Best Behaviour" Dinner: In his recollections, Densmore noted a specific moment when he invited his new bandmates—including Morrison—over to his parents' house for a spaghetti dinner. Because Morrison was notoriously unpredictable, Densmore was relieved that the band stayed on their best behavior in front of his parents right next to his Krishna-adorned room.The Hare Krishna Link: Like many 1960s musicians heavily embedded in Southern California's counterculture, Densmore's devotion to Krishna was tied to the broader influx of Eastern mysticism. Along with Ray Manzarek and Robby Krieger, Densmore pursued structured spiritual frameworks like Transcendental Meditation to find peace.The Dynamic With Jim MorrisonDensmore’s pull toward the serene, devotional aspects of Krishna and yoga sat right alongside the dark, chaotic "shamanic" energy that Morrison brought to the group. While Densmore sought an inner anchor through Eastern philosophy, Morrison wanted to intentionally unhinge the mind. This heavy friction between Densmore's grounded, rhythmically precise devotion and Morrison's volatile brilliance ultimately shaped the unique sonic tension of The Doors.
That's the perfect word to describe The Doors' music: hypnotic.

Keep me in mind if you ever need an extra guitarist. I really enjoy the new music as much or more than The Doors material and write some of my own similarly (I was actually surprised the first time I heard you live at the Good Hurt - great show, too bad the venue is gone). Thanks for making all the good music!

Get a different singer and I'll be back
Outstanding concert !
Congrats!!! Truly amazing!โ๏ธ
I missed the singing of Jim, but Dan brought a revised modern version of singing to the songs.
Krieger absolutely shredded, and I wish I had a recording of this. I hope to God they had a sound booth recording this, because it was special.

Robby Krieger
Why is Édith Piaf's memorial maintained in a way that reflects her legacy, while Jim Morrison—one of the most influential artists of the 20th century—still has no memorial of comparable dignity at Père Lachaise? Shouldn't his memory receive the same level of respect?
I propose creating the Jim Morrison Memorial Foundation with the goal of establishing a truly worthy memorial at Père Lachaise Cemetery. The foundation could unite fans, artists, architects, and historians, and respectfully appeal to the City of Paris and the cemetery authorities for permission to install a memorial that reflects Jim Morrison's extraordinary legacy.
The Cobra Dance is my own dance. It unites the spirit of the Cobra King with the mystique of the Lizard King.
I feel like a '66 Mustang—raw, wild, and impossible to hold back.
A bottle of whiskey, a long conversation, and then walking onto the stage together.
Jim Morrison wasn't just the voice of The Doors. He was its soul. And a soul cannot be replaced.
The greatest protest is against anyone who invades a person's private space and freedom.
Not a fan meeting an idol. Two free souls sharing a bottle of whiskey and a conversation without masks.
If I came back and saw that the memory of my work no longer reflected who I was, I'd rather start over with people who truly understood it.

Robbie sang “Back Door Man” with so much soul and his guitar playing was superb” ! Dan Rothchild on lead vocals, Ty Dennis on Drums and Ed Roth on keys added so much to this “outta sight” band. Robby and band are continuing the DOORS legacy and adding their own musicality. What talented musicians they are ๐ Thank you Robby๐
Robby still bringing it at 80.

Para mi es mi guitarrista favorito Robby ๐ธ๐ถ me gusta su estilo, sus habilidades en la guitarra y gran compositor de las canciones de the doors. Creo debería ser más reconocido!!
Awesome guitarist ๐ธ..the sound of the 60s

Krieger was spectacular, and brought the energy that made The Doors great. And Dan Rothchild really added to the experience delivering such an experience we had to dance like fools! A ship of fools.
The set was legendary and energy was out of this world, respect to the legend

An Amazing Evening!!
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
