What are we talking about? Funniest answer wins!
Trying to remember, how many cigarettes did I bring along…
“Yeah, I got the memo, but I didn’t see anything about green shoes either!”
“Hello I love you I can’t remember your name!”
"Jim is late again..."
“How high were you when you bought those pants Robby?” “About as medicated as you were when bought that shirt John.”
No, it was you that told Jim it’s Ok to sing “couldn’t get much higher” on the Ed Sullivan show!
Dose the day destroy the night, or night dive the days
My pants are louder than your pants’
Robbie: “What do you mean I have to change my pants?!” John: “Someone on acid just had a really bad freakout. They thought that your pants were AI and that they were altering you into a digital replica. Or something. Just please change them, ok?”
Why are you wearing my pants?
John is saying " Where did you get those groovy pants? "
“Tell me again, why was his brain squirming like a toad?”
When the whiskey said you were banned after that amazing set, then called you back after realizing you were popular and asked to come do another set
Wanna start a band?
The recent sighting of Jim and Elvis at 711.
How does Light My Fire start again?! 😆💥💥
John’s explaining to Robby when to come in to When the Music’s Over.
I can't remember why I came into this room. Me neither
“Didn’t we used to have a lead singer?”
Color blindness.
"I can't find the guitar tabs for My Wild Love"
John, we’re out of rolling papers again Robby, awe c’mon didn’t we buy a box of them at the last show. John, maybe we could send Owen my drums are all set up Robby, definitely last time we sent Waylon he spent all my money on $5 energy drinks
Whether the song needs more cowbell
Pants. It's all about the pants!
"What do you want to play?" "The Doors." "But I don't have the key."
⚡️Next week! Who’s ready to dance?🕺
Are you actually Robbie?
I thought it said Golden Bear, a bar on the ocean and I was so excited, I think that bar was burnt down by developers about 30 years ago !!!
Yo Rob it's time🦎
I cant make it to this gig due to cost of airfare so I am really hoping Robby does another round of City Winery gigs! Everyone is in store for such a great night of music 🎶 wish I could be there!
I dance all the time in my house listening to The Doors Music. It's feel good music to me...🎵🎤🎶🎸🚪💃💜 It brings me back in time to when I was younger hearing the music on my radio. 💜💜
Go go go everybody. I would love so much to be there, but I can’t. Please enjoy for me ❤️
I’m flying out to eat lunch with John Densmore !!

Happy Valentine’s Day Robby Krieger! We love you 🥰
You would have enjoyed that Mickey Dolenz concert at the Cerritos Center last night. Great band with his sister singing along and his daughter doing the photos. I remember him when I used to watch circus boy when I was three years old.
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!
Robbie, my friend Tom Teves, lived two doors down from Ray's market. We used to sit in the Ally and listen to you guys practice in his detached garage upstairs. We didn't have a clue who you were in 65-66. We just said "hey! those guys are pretty good!!
Ride the snake to the lake and back again on a moonlight drive
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.
Robby, it’s an inspiration to me and most everyone that you are still 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.
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.
Got to interview you for our documentary… but more importantly, got to go on stage with you at Pineknob. Which you told me was the last show you guys let people up because someone stole Ray’s sunglasses. (It definitely wasn’t me!)
It was a dream come true. That smile was stuck on my face for the longest time!❤️🎶✌️
Break on through... YEAH‼️
Detroit could use a little Robby Krieger
Thank you for your music Robbie! You are a living legend!
Much love from the East coast.
You have no idea how much we all appreciate you and that's all we can do is keep going until one day we can't no more !
Thankyou for the WONDERFUL Music!!!
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!
Keep on Going Robby!!!! Thank You Very Much!!!!! 👏👏👏👏👏👏👌👌👌👌👌👌👌🎸🎸🎸🎸🎸🎸🙏🙏❤️❤️ ALL of The Doors Were Amazing!!!!!
Ciao mitico R. Krieger....grande musicista...legend The Doors
2 - 21 - 2026. Atlantic City, NJ. - KANSAS.
Lupos Heartbreak Hotel, Providence, early 80's...you were very approachable.
Robby Krieger And we appreciate you! And if you ever have the time, could you please say hi to my 16 year old son, RydyR. He's one of the biggest DOORS fans, besides myself 🙂 , that I know. Thank you for everything, Mr. Krieger.
Every day you guys rise to me robby your band inspired my life and groove i love the fuck hell out of you
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.
Purple Haze. Hey joe. Break on through. Light my Fire 🔥
I Can’t Explain, Gloria, Not Fade Away. You see the theme here? 😁
Smoke On The Water, but I would prefer to play it on a tuba rather than a guitar. Make that an electric tuba.
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.
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!
When I first started playing the guitar at 12 yrs old I learned how to play Gloria and I’m not your Stepping Stone 😂
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?
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
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".
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
