Certainly the Cardboard Tele must be lacking in sustain, no?

Do you Robbie, remember your old car guy Larry York ? Work on your 63 impala, 56 nomad and picked him up at golden auto, to let him drive your Ferrari

Sadly my son gave up guitar because he got frustrated trying to play lead. Hopefully he'll pick it up again. No shame in rhythm guitar, an essential part of rock n' roll. Personally I'm a bass and drums guy foremost. Ray did wonders on bass with a keyboard.

Drop that tele and take three steps back!

"Do it, Robby, Do it..." (Jim from a live "L.A. Woman" performance)

Hi Robby, After all these years I have to ask you: if I can only lose, why should I try? Maybe I've been playing a different game all these years, or maybe standing still is the only way to lose. What do you think?

I was gonna swear seeing a Tele was AI.

Robbie hasn't changed his strings since the 60s 🤘

Hi Robby....tu as laissé ta Gibson 😉😉......tu joue sur une télé..... cela doit changer ton son...'😀🎸.... Bons concerts à Los Angeles....👏👏.... récemment à Paris j,ai eu le plaisir de voir le groupe whisbone Ash.....avec deux leads guitars..je les suis depuis longtemps et j,ai adoré le concert 😉😉😄..........A quand la venue du Super guitariste 🎸....le grand Robby Krieger........sur Paris....le héros de mon enfance 🥰💖😀😄🎸......j, espère bientôt..... bonne musique à tous..........👏👍👍👏.........

Robby you're killing it.

Robby with a Tele....🤔

Wild, recycled guitar!

I'm going to have to save up my pennies to go see you at the whiskey.

Robbie, have you tried a Slick guitar?

When a celebration of your first tour in the east?? It would be amazing!!

Como me gustaría estar allí!!

🤗💙🙏🏻❤🤝 Ti voglio bene Robby Krieger. Da Roma 👌🥰

keep rocking maestro

I played four songs with an electric twelve string guitar on the “L.A. Woman” album. Can you name all four? 👀

By the way, tickets are still available for my May 23rd show at Whisky A Go-Go. I’ll be celebrating 60 years since The Doors’ very first show there.

The WASP (Texas Radio And The Big Beat), Love Her Madly, Hyacinth House, and L.A. Woman.

Almost every song’s been named except Riders on the Storm😂

As a life time Doors fan, I have wondered if you would have ever covered It Was a Very Good year by Sinatra. I think it would have come out amazing with Jim's voice your guitar and Rays organ for that haunting sound.

.....no.....but ive got one for you.........4 songs.....when the music's over......yes the river knows.....the end.....hyacinth house.....do YOU know what these 4 songs have in common other than the fact that the doors wrote and recorded all 4 ?......

Love Her Madly, Hyacinth House, The WASP, and......was it the rhythm track of The Changeling?

"You're lost little girl" sure sounds like a twelver is in it.

Down So Long LA Woman Crawling King Snake L'ameica

"L.A. Woman," "Been Down So Long," "Cars Hiss by My Window," and "Hyacinth House."

Yes Mr Krieger. However you never played a Double Neck Guitar in a Doors concert with Jim on lead vocals.

"Hyacinth house", "Love her madly", "LA woman" and ... ?

Love her madly right? Because of the little pre chorus part? Always sounded like a jangly 12 to me, I could be wrong

I wonder if that same guitar jimmy pages has from led zepplin another great guitarest

What kind of Electric 12 string did you use the Gibson SG 6/12 string or had it been invented by that time?

Robby Krieger is that a Jimmy Page signature EDS 1275?? I ask because of the distance between the tailpiece and bridge for both sets of necks/strings. That’s very unique…….especially to Jimmy Page’s EDS 1275

Sounded like a Fender electric 12....correct?

Also had a bass player and rhythm ,think marc Beni was one of them.I know the hyacinth house had some extra strings going on.But need to take a listen tonight because back in the day I did not have hi fidelity.

Did LA Woman have a 12 string part?

Based on what I hear, I’ll guess; 1. Love Her Madly 2. Hyacinth House 3. The Wasp 4. LA Woman

1.Hyacinth House 2. L' America 3. Cars Hiss By My Window 4.Love Her Madly And number 5 ( the deleted one ) the sound of the 12-string ( the boom sounded like thunder ) falling to the floor after Jim accidently bumping into it. ( just kidding! ) Anyway, is my NO-PRIZE on the way? 🤣

Hyacinth House..... LAmerica.....The WASP....Love Her Madly

Rewatched your interview last night with Rick Beato, love how you kept correcting john, it was hilarious 😂

Love Her Madly, Hyacinth House, Texas Radio (And The Big Beat), and... either L'America or The Changeling? I'm stumped on my last guess and will have to willingly go back and listen to the album L.A. Woman!!!

They should have released a DVD... that it was difficult for them to fit a video camera into the entire recording ? would be a jewel and would sell like freshly baked bread

Great concert moments memories at The Spectrum Philadelphia May 1,1970 tickets 4 dollars . Great concert time this concert was recorded live and announced that all charges have been dropped cleared for Jim Morrison Indecent exposure charges. Just found out that announcement wasn't correct about the charges dropped then .They we're dropped cleared 2010.I saved this ticket stub and mostly all other awesome concerts of all time .I made a poster from most of the stubs

Who will I see on May 23rd? 🎸

My surgeon for Mohs surgery asked what music I could listen to while he excised the basal cell cancer? Doors I answered and the music flowed.

I Lived just north of the Whiskey. There was a great little Cuban restaurant there also . I caught one show there at the Whiskey with the doors. Venice beach and Hollywood was my old stomping grounds.

On that date my Mom and I were in East Germany visiting my mom's family that got stuck behind the Iron Curtain after WW II. It took months of government red tape for the okay for me to go into a communist held country. Looking back, I would have preferred to be at The Whiskey!

My grandchildren listen to your music when they need extra adrenaline to take a double diamond skiing run . Or a 640 water skiing 🎿

Oh man, when I went there the first time for a sound check, I didn’t believe in ghosts but I could tell I was on sacred grounds. It was a spiritual experience for me. Call it what you may… I communed. I danced with those ghosts. After our gig, I met Ray on the stairs to the dressing room. I don’t know if there will always be magic…just dig it when ya can.

Robby, years ago in the late 1990’s I sat next to your parents at the counter inside The Apple Pan restaurant in Westwood. They told me how The Doors went from practicing in their garage to playing The Hollywood Bowl just a few months later! Your parents were so friendly and so proud of you!

Keep your eyes on the road Robbie!

Robby signed a pic of himself from Philadelphia 1967 in the Whisky.

It's that Robby mustang

Seen Robby Krieger many times, but my favorite show was when he did a show in Bensalem PA in 1991, he was not only great on guitar but such a cool guy, it was a great night thanks Robby, been to the whiskey a couple of times, but would love to see Robbie play there 

The very first album I ever bought was The Doors. $4.99 at Woolworths. My dad hated it. He really hated Steppenwolf, when he heard "The Pusher" my album disappeared, mysteriously.

was Buffalo Springfield opening too that night??? i had a poster with 3 bands for $3 i think it was

Saw the Doors at my High School, $0.50 at lunchtime. 1966/67 Cleveland High School reseda ca

You couldn't ask for a better show.. the Doors and the Byrds!!! In 1966 I was all of five soon to turn 6 at the end of the year! Really puts things in perspective for me but even as a child at 7 years old when the Doors were on the radio my family was playing those little transistor radios everywhere and I loved what I would hear. It solidified the fact that I was a Doors fan for life!

It's funny you played with the Byrds. David Crosby told me in a 1999 interview that he didn't like your music. Called you guys "the band that can't swing."

Oh man to go back in time walk on in the whiskey and see the doors playing ! Iam dizzy ! 🔥🦎❤️🔥🦎❤️🔥🦎❤️

So all you Jim Morrison and aficionados can I answer one question I don't see nobody gets it the song known as 'riders on the Storm where does its origins come from?

The Doors are such a powerrful and influential band. Robby Krieger when you joined, how long did it take to realize that the band was really something special and did you ever think or believe early on you'd be in a band that changed the way music and lyrics were written? And have the impact the Doors still have 60 sum years later? It gotta be surreal and humbling to know your a huge part of that experiment.

and I was 5 days away from being born and becoming a doors fan and a drummer.

Do it Robbie do it

Most don't realize what a tiny venue it is but with a worldwide iconic name. In the mid 80s there was an after hours club next door called At Sunset that became the quasi Studio 54 of L.A. (without all the kinky eccentricities). I knew the owners at the beginning and never had to wait in line. It became a hot spot for celebs and rockers. I partied there with David Lee Roth, met Robin Williams and introduced him to the VIP room where he in turn partied with John Belushi who at the time was a bloated druggie whale. That 65 Mustang pic was brand new then. What times back then Robby.

I've been there before and saw the rubber City rebels

Too bad there's no more free parking on that side street up the hill!

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.”
