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

Mesmerizing
The Doors music Hypnotic
Pivotal. The first time my cousin played The Doors for me at a family cookout in 1987 (I was 13) it changed my life.
I would have to say your latest music I would call “echotic”. Being that is echoing both r&b and jazz influences of your 60’s style. One thing that’s missing is the pauses. Sometimes having no notes is awesome like the rests in “Waiting For The Sun”.
The Doors took from jazz blues flamenco, classical early Americana jug band soul and rock and roll and created new music never heard before from those roots. Doors music is a genre in itself. Ultimately to me the only description that fits is Doors music … no one ever sounded like that before or since.
The Doors music moves me on the inside… It’s beautiful! I don’t think one needs an understanding of inner beauty to enjoy it. But,,, the music does have that inner beauty as well.
Transcendental
Do it robbie do it
Really amazing ! I want to sing with you 😎
I gotta think on that one, but the guitar work on 'When The Music's Over' is still just amazing.
Psychedelic, been listening since I was born in 1969. Grew up listening to The doors, still listening today. On my third hour jamin to the Doors tonight / YouTube
a whole lotta soul, brother !
The scream of the Butterfly.
How about a slightly made up word? A combination of words that fit..... Radicool.... I think it fits and this goes for all your bands.
Hallucinatory 😵💫
Nothing like anyone else! That’s why the doors are so special!
Like Father Like Son!
❤️ I will always be proud of Waylon, this is our double solo from “When The Music’s Over” !
Do your kids follow in your footsteps?
My Dad told me Music died when his brother died in 1977.
this little guitar part always reminded me of the twilight zone, or outerlimits music
Great experience creating and performing with both my daughters. Right on Robby!
That is bad ass! I bet it melts your heart playing with your son! And Rothchilds son! So super cool! Cant wait to see you in July Robby at the Whisky!
Yeah, music is joy. Life is joy. Not always, but... blues helps. Best wishes to all maestros!
Yes actually my daughter plays Bass like I do 💪🏻 she is better than I am ,just don’t tell anyone
You’re son is an amazing singer also
His album with Bloodlines is fantastic. Glad he is playing
OMG! How cool. Yep, like father like son. LOVE IT!
I have enjoyed for some time Robbie's tutorials sharing with people the playing secrets of his songs.
very cool 😊 Must feel good to have your son enjoy playing.
My son can play flute and violin while I can't even play a doorbell. Kids rule!
Waylon is awesome!! He inherited your talents and skills!! It’s in the genes!💜💕💜
I had the honor to meet Robby and Waylon in Dallas Tx years ago.. They both signed my early Carlos Castaneda copy of Teachings of Don Juan. .It's great to have an "Ally" Your a kind soul Robby...
