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
🎸 Felt like ‘69 for a second there. The Touch Me solo always brings it back.
One of my favorite guitarists, and I'll say it once again those pants are so damn cool. Haha.
For a minute there...you actually time traveled Robby😊 I wish we all could that easy. Or maybe we can 🤔
Sweet! a real B3 played by a pro sounding So good, lucky you! Has anyone tried to lug 1 of these monsters around?❤
Someone there loves duck Dunn 😂
Well… I like the look of that open mic 🎤😅
but you're missing a black eye
Is that Gregg Rolie playing keyboards ?
Epic anthems of a splendid generation 💓😎 🎸 🙏🏻✝️🫡 Jim 🎙️ Robby 🎸 Ray 🎹 John 🥁 Best in the west ☮️🌞🌲💓✝️😎👍🙏🏻 God Bless their splendid souls Amen 🙏🏻
I can’t quite make out what Jim sings at the end. does bring back memories. 69 I was a wild child hippie girl hanging out in the village of NYC

A Fender Stratocaster
It appears after 37 years it’s this one. My 88. Grandson has dibs on it next Robbie😉
The Gibson SG, obviously. 😁
I guess, more then probably the pitbull mk2 kit I assemblied. bolt on 24.75'' scale, maple neck, 12'' radius rosewood fretboard with 0 fret, tom bridge, basswood body. Concerning the wiring I have several options, because I own several different pickguards, with different pick ups combinations....Of couse it's almost useless without an amp 😀
if i may......i am dreaming i am in possession of the sg " the fool " of cream fame, even if all i could play was mary had a little lamb, i would be rockin' that bad boy !
A 12 string electric Rickenbacker
Already got it. 6120-60. (Well I can't afford an L5/Super 400/Switchmaster!) I learnt to play on an acoustic guitar so no end of carved planks of wood cut it for me! 😆 Except maybe the 62 Custom Telecaster I had briefly in the 80's. To be fair, any decent Hollowbody that I could afford or justify 🤩
That one that Brian May uses
Im leaving that to you cause i dont play. Dealers choice Mr Krieger… looks wise, i say Les Paul. Thats all i have to go on is looks..
Telecaster and Jaguar...put 'em together in a room and let them fight it out!
Fender, Tele or Strat !! 😃🥰
Telecaster
Gibson SG. Hands down!
out of all the guitars I play, I choose the one that plays me, that's my old Gibson ES335
Electric would be a Fender Acoustic would be a Alvarez or Martin
Ibanez artist, the one I smashed.
A Sears catalog Harmony acoustic.
I built this from trees in my yard. Neck thru 9 ply Gibson scale.
Reissue Les Paul 60's Classic
Steinberger because of my twisted spine and shoulder.
Gibson Les Paul Special... in TV Yellow. 😂
I’m still searching for the “one” it has yet to come
American Standard Stratocaster
🕺🎸Shredding through the ages — now in collectible form. Complete with signature axe, amp, and pants loud enough to rival the solo’s!
I had to stop my son from buying a Red and Black jacket that could be resewn into a pair of Robbie's pants. I finally got him to settle on the mobster look instead ... I don't know what is an appropriate suit for a modern day hippy wanta be?
Robby neither "shreds" nor looks anything like this
Great idea!! But….. it looks more like Billy idol😀
Looks more like an ex con bank robber minus his balaclava than the great Robby 🤔
*Sharp green bottle neck not included.
I thought it was Eminem with a guitar
Is that David Gilmore! lol
Sorry , looks like Sting
Kind of looks like a cross between Robby Krieger and Johnny Carson.
Where's the worst hair in rock and roll?
Adam Cranston acting as Flee, Sting, Billy Idol and Patrick Stewart at the same time, wearing Robby Krieger’s pants.
Where's Robbie?! 🎱
Looks like sting to me.
Doesn't look anything like Robby, looks more like Brian Cranston.
Screw the guitar & amp, I want the pants 😅😂🤣
I'm surprised this made the final cut and was approved by everyone for production. Looks absolutely nothing like Robby.
That’s great love it even has an extra guitar. That’s Rock’n’Roll 👏🏼
It looks like the bastard child of Sting and Flea.
Crap
So far the best ive seen from this craze, koolaid.
It should be a big seller
The best hair in Rock.
Yes!!!! I want a Krieger doll !
Forever doors robby you talent is chingon cool
Aloha Mister Hand!
🎸What would be the perfect Day in LA?
Love playing this song with the boys!
That would be March 29th when I saw you guys play and met you for a second behind the Whiskey. Flew in from Canada’s east coast. Loved your book.
Robbie using a pick?
This was kinda cool even though Jim wasn’t around 🙂 those guitar riffs were awesome even did it with a smile like Ed Sullivan wanted www.facebook.com/share/v/1AJkyvbXB2/?mibextid=UalRPS mibextid=UalRPS
Being at the whiskey and hearing you play Light My Fire! One of these days I’ll get there!😎
lunch at trejos tacos and afternoon at the beach
Perfect days in LA was exploring places where Jim Morrison used to go...Venice Beach, Lunch at Barney's Beanery, walking past the La Ciegna hotel, saw the old Doors workshop on Santa Monica Blvd and then saw Robby Kreiger and his band on a Friday night perform at the Whisky A Go Go. That was a few great days in LA.
Keep Rockin Robbie!🎸🏆🎼
what song is this? didnt sound very good
Lovely done thanx.
A moonlight drive
I had a Korg CX-3 and a Fender Rhodes!
Robbie, was Jim a Dodgers fan? Did you guys ever attend a game at Dodger Stadium?
Going to the Whiskey a Go/Go May 29 to see Robby Krieger play the Strange Days album.
Love the jersey!
A Perfect Day in LA would be to see Robby Krieger live with his band and playing his Gibson SG guitar and doing some jazz!!! ☮❤🎸🎸🎸
A walk through Venice Beach and the Pier, lunch at the market and a drive through the canyon. Drinks on Sunset and a Robby Krieger show at the Whisky
April 26th is gonna be a perfect day in LA!
For me, I guess maybe getting some tacos and just kick back in Venice Beach watching the sunset
Saw you Robbie twice. Few years ago at the Coach house in San Juan Capistrano. Then July 2, 2023 at the Whisky. Killer amazing sound both times!! 🙂
Que venga a la ciudad de México y se aviente el palomazo con la banda Strange Days
Awesome
ROBIE KRIEGER, GRAN GUITARRISTA, FUNDAMENTAL EN LA CREACION DE SONIDOS Y COMPOSICIONES DE THE DOORS, LAMENTABLEMENTE SIEMPRE ESTUVIERON ECLIPSADOS ÉL, DENSMORE Y MANZAREK POR LA ARROLLADORA PERSONALIDAD DEL REY LAGARTO, PERO DE QUE SON GRANDES MUSICOS LOS TRES NO DEBE DUDARSE
I will do a gig what the hell
Lenda viva
Great one of the best ghitar
🔥Throwback to that badass performance with Haley Reinhart at The Whisky!
Who caught that show?
Robbie better not look her way or she’s going to give him a heart attack dancing like that. Lol
The only thing that's strange is the performance see the Doors caught lightening in a bottle & ran with it thats all
I was there at the whiskey that night...
Jim would've approved. Is Lynn jealous?
Robbie is a living legend
That's great singing doors song with friends
Splendid endeavour 🎸 4ever 💓🤟👍🌞💫 love transcends as the music 🎶 blends ! Any language any age 🔥 🚪 with Maestro Krieger who wrote the page 📄 Writers of the stage, death defying race from scripts of life they play the story of the day……🤟🙏🏻🌞☮️🌲✝️💓😎 Amen!
