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.”

๐ŸŽธ I love both of these guitars, which is your favorite?Image attachment

Comment on Facebook

Your still one cool dude!

I would be happy with either, but assuming the artwork is a Robby Krieger original, that would tip me toward the black one. Gibson, ebony fretboard, block inlays.. nice

Classic red. I have a cherry SG with P90s. A favorite. Keep rockin'!

I have to say both. You sure do know how to pick out cool guitars, Robby!

The trusty red guitar.

I'd have to hear you play them before I could make a choice. I probably would like both with you playing them. ๐Ÿ˜ƒ๐Ÿ‘‹๐ŸŽธ๐ŸŽต๐ŸŽถ๐ŸŽธ๐Ÿšช๐Ÿ’œ

Man that red guitar is on fire Robby!

Both as long as you play them.

MY FAVORITE ATE THE ARE BOTH OF THEM LONG AS THERE IN YOUR HANDS GREAT JOB ROBBY AND GREAT PIC AND THE DOORS FOREVER AND LONG LIVE THEM KRIEGER'S

The one you recorded light my Fire would be my favorite. Never matters what a the Guitar looks like but how it sounds.

The one on the left, just classic, iconic Krieger!

The red one but i like the cat too! Two dufferent kinds of guitars!!

Gotta go with the monster

Both are sweet but cool that the painted one has a Les Paul custom head stock, not many like that.๐ŸŽธโค๏ธ๐ŸŽต

The red because it’s autographed!

I like the one that looks like the devil.

Actually, I like the right hand (Aztec?) one. Just love the SG in general.

Splendid endeavour Maestro forever!๐ŸŽธ๐ŸŽธ๐Ÿ‘๐ŸŒž๐Ÿ™๐ŸŒฒโ˜ฎ๏ธ

I remember setting up the stage with big brother Bill Siddons for you and your fellow musicians........and that Red guitar just made me sigh................so so beautiful.

Red.... and cat... ๐Ÿซถ

The piano

I love both of them, and your ability to play them along with the unique songs you wrote.

Red for sure !

I love the cherry finish and Maestro Vibrato of the Standard but I really love the block-inlay ebony fingerboard and split-diamond headstock of the Custom. Put those together, that would be the ultimate SG !

Well, if you gave me one. I'd love that one! ๐Ÿ˜†

I'm sticking around and bringing beers and pizza for Robby and his band mates! ๐Ÿ˜‹

sticking around and enjoying the sounds. Also good to see Waylon back on guitar lately. Itd be fun to see Bloodlines do some dates

Greetings from BudapestHungary! Im very glad to see Robby working, playing everyday! Thank You very much for growing up listening to Your music and to see that You create art every day! ๐Ÿ™‚

Well I don't want to tick off my favorite band. So I'm doing what they tell me to do it's their studio after all. Although I could grill if ya like. Veggie kabobs, lamb, beef pineapple, potato, and Maybe a radish salad...

I'm sticking around to the End. Mesmerising beautifully hypnotic and full of drama, sounds as compelling as it was when I first heard it.

I wish i could be there... dream come true

Very interesting tune,, The End. Kind of like tells a story

And I Know All His Stage Performances That He Did

Probably would have to start paying rent ! ๐Ÿคฃ

Love the art.

But His Eyes Were Blue Mine Are Dark Brown

๐Ÿ”ฅWhat do you prefer acoustic or electric when you play?

Comment on Facebook

It depends....but, IF you are playing, both are wonderfull ๐Ÿ˜๐ŸŽถ๐ŸŽธ๐Ÿ‡ง๐Ÿ‡ทโ˜ฎ๏ธ

You have managed to transform an electric guitar into an acoustic one and vice versa. This is evident in “Light My Fire,” where your electric guitar playing emulates the warmth and resonance of an acoustic guitar.

I have a acoustic flamenco guitar that I inherited from my grandfather, but I never learned to play guitar, and it still has the original strings on it since he died in the year 1989. He was learning to play on it the year he died from heart failure and was born in 1918 in Chattanooga, Tennessee and moved to Ocean Park, California in the twenties as a boy.

Acustic Duo playing The Doors

Me, I have a Taylor 214ce that I love to play but if I’m preforming, I love my Gibson ES335.

Both. I do have six and twelve string acoustics, and a mandolin (which I’m learning at present).๐ŸŽธ๐ŸŽผ

For me, it depends on the song, although I like a good shred from time to time.๐ŸŽถ

Both Good,…you can get really “out there”with effects and sound reinforcement on a good Electric.Then feel more grounded and “organic”on an acoustic.imho ,..anyhoo.๐Ÿ˜

way way back when I played bass, I actually preferred playing an upright big ass bass no frets total freedom ๐Ÿ™‚ but that was way way back ๐Ÿ™‚

I play a lot on electric guitar, but I also often compose on acoustic guitar ๐ŸŽธ

Depends if you want a rich or rockin tone

Electric

Depends but I’m also a keyboard player so the analogy works for both - if I want more challenge: acoustic but if I want ease and variety of sound electric. I do my workouts on acoustic and perform on electric generally

Electric. I went through an acoustic phase in the very early 90’s, but so did everyone else, and then I was tired of it.

I only play on electric guitar. Before I had a couple of acoustic guitars but I sold; I didn't enjoy acoustic guitar enough.

I play first on acoustic, and then switch over to electric

I don't know how to play guitar ๐Ÿ˜ญ the strumming part I can do easily but it's the other part on the fretboard I can't do.

Both are great - each brings out its own musical magic.

Acoustic ,Electric spanish caravan good song máster

Electric, but I just got an America made Breedlove 12 string that I can't put down!

I prefer acoustic

Electric, I also have a 12 string acoustic

Both - spending in what ‘touch’ the song and the audience calls for !

it depends on the context, sometimes voice and acoustic guitar are used to relax me, with the electric one I fill up with energy!

Electric, for certain.

I asked ChatGPT to propose a story of Jim's life if he had not passed away. ——————- In July 1971, rather than succumbing to an overdose, Jim Morrison survives a severe health crisis thanks to the quick intervention of his companion, Pamela Courson, who finds him in time and calls for help. After a hospital stay, he realizes that his self-destructive lifestyle is leading him to ruin. This realization becomes a decisive turning point for him. Determined to change, Jim gives up alcohol and drugs and distances himself from the Parisian nightlife. He finds refuge in a small village in Normandy, where he begins a process of both physical and spiritual healing. Inspired by the tranquility of the French countryside, he immerses himself in writing and composes new songs. During this period, Jim discovers a passion for cinema and filmmaking. In 1973, he decides to return to the United States to pursue film studies. He enrolls at the University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA), where he had previously studied, and focuses on screenwriting and directing independent films. Meanwhile, Jim stays in touch with the members of The Doors. In 1975, after earning his degree, he proposes to reform the band with a renewed artistic vision. Together, they create a concept album titled "Phoenix," based on the idea of rebirth and transformation. The album receives enthusiastic acclaim and marks a triumphant return for the group. Jim uses his influence to support young talent and becomes a respected mentor in the film and music industries. In 1980, he directs his first feature film, an experimental work that receives praise for its innovative and poetic approach. His filmmaking career takes off, and he is invited to international festivals where he is recognized for his creative genius. The 1980s and 1990s see Jim Morrison alternating between music and film. He releases several solo albums exploring various musical genres and continues to collaborate with The Doors on special projects. His films, often introspective and philosophical, gain depth and maturity, solidifying his reputation as a multidisciplinary artist. In 2001, on the thirtieth anniversary of his survival and renewal, Jim publishes a series of memoirs titled "Multiple Lives," where he recounts his struggles, triumphs, and the lessons learned from his experiences. The book becomes a bestseller and inspires many artists and creators to embrace change and reinvention. Jim Morrison continues to create and influence until his peaceful death in 2024, at the age of 80. His artistic legacy, both musical and cinematic, endures, making him an iconic figure of resilience and creativity. His contributions are celebrated in a major retrospective organized by the Museum of Modern Art in New York, bringing together musical works, films, and writings, testifying to the lasting impact of his creative genius on global culture.

"My all-time favorite band for almost 50 years has been Las Puertas. I'm sending you a small video where, day by day, at my job, they accompany me throughout the city of Buenos Aires. I hope you enjoy it. A hug to the team and a hug to one of the greatest guitarists of all time, the great legend, Roberto." "I've been a lifelong fan of Las Puertas for nearly 50 years. I'd like to share a short video with you, featuring the band's music as I go about my daily work in Buenos Aires. I hope you'll enjoy it. Please pass along my regards to the team and to the legendary guitarist, Roberto."
