Meeting you guys is always incredible, thank you if you’ve ever supported me in this wild ride.
I’m going to keep going as long as I can. I appreciate all of you. ❤️
Met you on the Rock Legends Cruise and you were pretty funny.
Portland, ME. You signed my sister's boob with a sharpie. Hahahahaha!
Let it roll, baby, roll
Met you at "the Egg" in Albany, NY years back when you were playing with Ray, probably 2012ish. I was breaking your singer's chops a bit. Ray was chatty.. you talked to me like we were friends for years. I suppose in a sense we really were.
robbie maybe one day if you are ever in baltimore our paths will cross hopefully! I met Ray here in baltimore many years ago when he was touring with mike mcclure. I got to shake hands with Ray and chat with him. he was so nice and kind to me.
Atlantic City 2001 at the never to be seen on TV VH1 concert with Vanilla Fudge. You guys had to do the show twice due to the truck being struck by lightning. Awesome show.
Robby, it’s an inspiration to me and most everyone that you still are playing and out there doing shows when most of us seniors retired and stopped working due to health reasons in my case a bad back, neck and damage to both my feet and also type 2 diabetes plus the stress and long hours. You really love what you do and your fans, and we appreciate and love you for it. You make me appreciate the good old days and the music I grew up listening too with the cherished memories. I hope you never stop playing.
It was a dream come true. That smile was stuck on my face for the longest time!❤️🎶✌️
Detroit could use a little Robby Krieger
Met you 3 times Robby! Always PERSONABLE! Greetings from Edmonton, Alberta. Canada. Keep rocking!
Glad you are still going strong! I saw you in the early 90s somewhere on the Sunset Strip. I moved back to Florida 25 years ago. Just missed you a few years back in Melbourne.... I love your guitar playing! You have your own astounding voice that sounds all your own. I'm going to get your book soon!
See you soon! 🎸 🎉
Lupos Heartbreak Hotel, Providence, early 80's...you were very approachable.
One of the Greats!
Love you two time, Robby! Love you twice today!! ❤️🙏❤️
Every day you guys rise to me robby your band inspired my life and groove i love the fuck hell out of you
One of my favorite guitarist and ❤️the Doors✌🏻
Thank you for your music Robbie! You are a living legend!
Any chance you'll come to the Northeast?
Love this Brother!!! Hoping you make it to Ft.lauderdale Florida some time.
We Love You Robby Krieger!!! 🎶🎶🎶
Love and miss you Robby Krieger ❤️
I still hope you show up in Paris sometime soon.... all the best Robby!
Happy V-Day to you and the Mrs. Boss
Listened to your music just last night, love it! Keep rocking!
What was the first song you’d want to learn if you started playing guitar?
Spanish Caravan . Kidding of course. I have been playing 45 years, and that is way out of my reach.
I Can’t Explain, Gloria, Not Fade Away. You see the theme here? 😁
Purple Haze. Hey joe. Break on through. Light my Fire 🔥
Smoke On The Water, but I would prefer to play it on a tuba rather than a guitar. Make that an electric tuba.
Mean Town Blues Johnny Winter. Still can only play a snatch or two of it!
Me and Bobby McGee... as sung by Janis Joplin.. 🎸🎵🎤🎶🎸
'All My Buddies Write Music for the CIA'
King of the Road! I'm sure that my Mom was so pleased that her eleven year old was learning songs about picking up cigar butts on the road and smoking them!
The riff of Roadhouse Blues
Back then 1967 I started with a cheap electric guitar learning "Love Me Two Times"!! 👍🎶💕
Around 40 years ago one of the first things i ever learned on the guitar was the opening riff to Love Me Two Times
I understand the standard song when I was growing up was Johnny Be Good. And of course "Rumble" which is a chord progression, not really a riff? Satisfication?
Yo Ho Heave Ho. If it has to be a Doors song I would have to say "Universal Mind" or "The Spy". These are Jim's masterpieces that spoke to me personally.
Well it all depends! Are we talking about one of the doors songs? Or just any song? Your songs are quite difficult to pic, so I would say the spy song! I love acoustic guitar so if it wasn't the doors I would take Neil Young sugar mountain
Orange County suite. Taught myself how to play that
When I first started playing the guitar at 12 yrs old I learned how to play Gloria and I’m not your Stepping Stone 😂
That very first dirty dive bombing guitar note in the 1967 song When I was young' by Eric Burdon and The Animals. Simple but effective. Outside of that, your sitar work on 'The End' also from 1967! Immense.
Already been playing for 48 years but the first song I learned how to was little black egg. I don't remember who recorded that song. It was a pretty horrendous song but that was the first one I learned how to play. It was either that or secret agent Man
Gimme Three Steps (Skykynrd).
Cheek to cheek.... version Chet Atkins...
The acoustic solo in "Year of the Cat". (And pretty everything Doors or B-52s related.)
Spanish caravan/Shine on you crazy diamond/ Sultans of swings/ Comfortably numb/ Starway to heaven/ Roadhouse blues/ Cocaine/ Rings of Fire / Smoke on the water/ Paranoid
One of the first songs that introduced me to a taste of Spanish Guitar was Spanish Caravan. 🔥 Flash forward, I’ve been a Spanish Guitarist for the last 25 years. I’d love to have you on my podcast for a quick look into your passion and history with Flamenco Guitar. 🙏🏼 Thanks Robby Krieger!
Moonlight drive. I love that melody like a cats scream with the bottleneck
"Light My Fire". Always loved that guitar solo, the keyboard intro, ect. John Coltrane's, "My Favorite Things" album influenced a whole lot of people. Either that, or, "Moonlight On Vermont", by Captain Beefheart and his Magic Band. Otherwise, anything from Gabor Szabo's album, "Dreams".

See you in whisky
One of the most underrated guitar players I saw the Doors Live three times
Going to your bday celebration. I saw you at Griffith Park too, I have never seen a show at the Whisky. My older cousin who lives in LA regularly used to go to the Whisky to see the Doors in 1966 and always told me how good a band you were. He gave me all of his original Doors Whisky posters. Unfortunately they disappeared over the years but I was fascinated by the whole thing. I was only 7 in 1966 so a little to young to see your show but old enough to still want to go!
London Fog ‘66 for me! 🌫️
Gotta come back East soon Mr Krieger! ✌️ 🎸
What's the chance, of you playing in cleveland ohio? I seen you guys play at house of blues when you , ray, Jon, were playing with lead singer from fuel? 20th century fox. That was amazing! To be able to be in Same room as you guys. Been a huge fan since I was a kid!!! I used to have so many doors merchandise, from posters, shirts, Jim's poetry,books, albums, and so much more, but all got lost, while life wasn't good. I love you regardless!!
I really wish you would come back to CT. (Connecticut). That would be so nice. 🎵🎤🎶🎸🎸🎸💜
Hey Robby Krieger please come and play Sacramento. You could book at Ace of Spades in Sacramento, or you could book the outdoor Roseville Ampotheater. It's my life's mission to see you play live, and I live in Sacramento. I really have been wanting to make a pilgrimage to LA to see you the last 5 years. Life gets in the way. But I love and respect your skills, and pray I get to see you. Most of all I hope you are healthy and happy man! Much love bro, I mean, Mr. Krieger.
Robby please play London UK soon.
Robby Krieger please come to the Northeast soon!!
Veni a Argentina!! te estamos esperando!
See you soon Birthday Boy !!!
Robby ìtsJim. Do you remember when we were in Africa?
Robby- Wish you'd come out to the Chicago area! Would love to see you play.
We got 4!
I’d love to see you here in New Jersey! You should book a show at the Wellmont Theatre in Montclair!
Me!
Wish I could go! I met Ray Manzarek once by chance in 1993. He bought an item from Oshman's Sporting Goods, where I was a cashier. Ray was so kind and friendly. He talked to me for several minutes. Wonderful memory!
Love you remember buying me a drink at Otto’s in Dekalb twenty five year’s ago! Well I do! Magical!
The Greek was amazing. Thanks Robbie. Do it Robbie do it.
Ever in the NY area Robby?
I'm coming out to your show in May Robby!

🎸 Just hanging out in the studio, what’s your weekend looking like?
Jim ? Railroad tracks,outskirts of the city ? .. vocals need more plate reverb echo chamber...has Jim been drinking? Good vibrato. Jim never hung around for the mix ,but digital he would . Splice that with qtips and fluid ?
Probably plug in the ac30 and make some noise and remember the times
Robby, I managed to rip off like five bands and the movie Halloween without trying.- all in one song. Do you hear songs in other songs?
I wanna know if that part of the movie is true when Jim dosed u with acid 🤔 ha ha 😂

Hanging out at the office listening to David Gilmore's latest album. Glad your doing well! Always loved listening to The Doors
I'll go to buy a beauty wood jazz guitar 😉👍🏻
You know I’m a big fan of you as a guitarist, I really love your playing on all the Doors albums. I love the slide guitar on the songs. I think that’s what drew me to the Doors music.
The master is too hot
Watching you hang out in the studio....😅

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
