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
๐ฅRan Into Booker T backstage!
๐What would you ask him if you saw him?
Did his green onions ever ripen ? ๐Great artist and like you, has stood the test of time ๐
Red or green onions?
I’d ask him about the riff for green onions. How that came about…
Why wasn’t Booker T a second keyboardist of the doors? ๏ฟผ
Is Mr. Mojo still. "RISING"....????
Ask him if he ever tripped on peyote with Jim Morrison?
How have you been I was lucky enough to briefly meet you outside the Fillmore after you played a shoe with riders of the storm in San Francisco where you signed my old passport it was a great day thank you sir also a fantastic show with Ashbury on vocals
Wow! Very cool !! And Robby I love your shirts !!
Can you guys do some shows together ? You both share the same drummer. My friend, Mr. Ty Dennis. Hoping you all do some shows together. Ty could just take a 15 minute break and resume with the best music of our time. That is both of you in our history. I’ll be there if that happens.
Where did Changeling come from๐ฝ
Is it really that big?
What did you talk about Robby Krieger??
What’s his favorite Doors song?
Can he dig it?
I met Booker T on a tour in Milwaukee not long ago. I told him what a great influence he was on my friend's and I, and that we proudly play some of the MGs music in our band back home.
What up Book?
He definitely said- Hi, Robbie,how are you? Are your onions are still green?
Hey man have you got a light ?.
I wouldn't ask him anything. I would just tell him how much I enjoyed his music.
Shoot I would ask if I could have a jam session with you sometime. Ha ๐ it would be cool to see you playing with the great Booker T!
Robby Krieger i would ask him what's his goto song is to play/listen to. It'd go like this - Mr T, True honor to ask u a question. what's your favorite song to either play or listen to. Always intrigued what true genius likes. What did/would question u ask him Robby Krieger ? U2 together for photos, legendary. Beautiful. Thank you! I luv and thank both of u for existing n sharing your devine gifts. โ๏ธ๐ bd
The wrestler?
Legends of a generation ๐๐๐โฎ๏ธ๐๐ถ๐ธ ๐น ๐
I would just ask him how he is and compliment him on what he's wearing because his wardrobe is tight.
Ask him were he got that suit it’s Awesome and hat too and tell him he has Amazing talent โ๏ธ๐ซถ
๐POV: Youโre at soundcheck vibing before the show!
โฌ๏ธWhat instrument are you playing?!
I wonder what Jim Morrison iwould think of you still playing music all these years later and sometimes still Doors music?
Robby Krieger what instrument? welp, can't play guitar that well. can't play piano at all. but, i sure as sh*t can play a mean jukebox! bwaahaaha. luv u man. โ๏ธ๐ bd
This looks like the gig i went to at The City Winery in Atlanta! If I had any musical talent I would play guitar of coarse! My favorite instrument by far!
Sounds great!!! Really nice venue. Have a great show
How come you playing with guitar pick Robby ?? You’re fingerpicking the best !!
depends on which way my muse is feelin' the wind blow...maybe have a go at all of them !
You sound great. Do an all guitar album with basd and drums. No singing.
Spain guitar, electroacoustic, and eléctric guitar
Man, I’d love to just hang in the background while this is going on
Normally guitar - but not if the great Robby Krieger is playing. In that case I’m just listening to the master ๐โค๏ธ
Guitar ~ joining in on that Jeff Beck medley
Gibson SG Standard
Two tube screamers, that’s killer
Hair color on point
What's this a sit down dinner, while Robbie plays eating music...come on man...even the tables and chairs are facing the wrong way, I think Jimbo would be horrified...
Sounds great!!
RK Signature SG VOS Serial #5

๐ธOn stage nothing else matters - Iโm just rockinโ out and living free!
Yes Robby! The stage is where you belong! I've had the pleasure of seeing you live in Pensacola, Los Angeles, and Atlanta! I'll follow you Robby every chance I get is an absolute thrill!
Great! I know the audience appreciates being able to see you.
Way to go Robby Krieger!
Awesome jazzy jam
I miss the days they let people actually play. Not just put part in the sequencer and chop the light out of it and add effects. ๐ธ๐ธ♥๏ธ๐
On stage im nervous all of the time and over compensate and fuck things up .. sound familiar?
Sounds absolutely great,Man!Good to see you bringing it on!
Love it, too hear and see you playing ♥๏ธ๐
I saw him play with Ray Manzarek twice, them him & his son who was an awesome JM after Ray died
Splendid collaboration with the Maestro of a brilliant generation!๐ธ๐ถ๐บ๐ธ๐๐๐๐ฒ๐โฎ๏ธ
Have you seen the monstrosity they built on the footprint of the Northstar st. House, really wish it was still there.
Love Robby keep it going man
Music is living free!๐ธ๐ผ

"Where is the wine the new wine". That's awesome Robby
Let’s collab on a hot sauce robby! My wife and i own Hella Hot Hot Sauce LLC near santa cruz ca
Aw man. I live too far away. I'm in Texas.
How do I get one for my sweetie Robbie?
I just want to meet him once n smoke a joint with him...i am the lizard king I can do anything
Very cool
I promise to drown myself in mystic heated wine... ๐
How can I get one
Love you Robby. Keep rocking!
Dennis Quaid crashed our soundcheck! ๐
๐What do yโall think should we let him join?
Hard pass on that one.
Too bad about him being a supporter of fascists. I always liked his movies. The Big Easy was my favorite.
i think this gave Robby a drunk Jim flashback
The new Ronald Reagan movie was good with Dennis. California was admired when Ronald Reagan was at the helm. Go Doors and my favorite Doors member Robby Krieger. God Bless ๐๐
Does everything in 'Merica always have to come down to political views. This video has nothing to do about being a Trump supporter. Yes he's in the sauce, I'm sure Robbie can handle it. Lol. If you want to relate politics well there eating the cats, there eating the dogs in Springfield. While tent city has grown the last 4 years. I don't remember this many people living in tents while Trump was in charge. Pretty sure the unemployment was at its lowest. Democratic communist vs the Republican fascist. No matter what you choose I'd rather not see people starving living in tents.
Maybe see what Randy Quaid can do
no, actually. a world in which you've let that guy "sing" Doors songs with you and not me is an ass-backwards one of injustice and sadness.
He's still in a Jerry Lee Lewis' mood! ๐ฅ๐คฃ
In character for one of those hard-bitten, lost-but-finding-redemption roles he plays on Netflix.
Uhhh ... thats a big NO๐Is he drunk or is that just him?
He's sat in with Robby b4. Actually a really good singer!
he surprised me in Nashville i didn't think he would be that good. hope you come back to music City โ๐ป
Sorry you had to experience that, Robby.
Met Dennis Quade On A Movie Set In 2002
Robby looks disappointed with the trumper
Your expression is how I perceived that too.
The look on your face answers that question pretty clearly. Nice shirt, Robby!!
He's done many a tune with Robby and the boys๐& he is pretty damned good๐ธ
๐ผRobby gestured that annoyed feeling touching his ear that usually hints a Big NO!IM A singer that understands pitch is everything!๐ผ
He is great like you Robby )
Ah, those wild Quaid boys!
Now I know why I never liked Dennis quaid
Just what every bands wants at soundcheck. A j off thinking he’s funny needing attention cutting into your relax time before the gig
He’s no daisy ๐ผ
May pay to inoculate him first but then hit the pedal to the metal๐ Keep your eyes upon the road and hands upon the wheel! JDMโ๏ธ๐ค๐ถ๐ธ๐บ๐ธ๐๐๐๐๐ฒ
