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
🔥WEST HOLLYWOOD, CA
I need to see everyone down at Whisky A Go-Go on 7/19 for a very special show!
This will be the 55th anniversary of The Doors album “The Soft Parade”! Waylon Krieger, Ed Roth , Dan Roth , Ty Dennis and myself will be playing the album in full!
Don’t miss out!
Robby when are you going on Joe Rogan i feel like you could share some insane stories
It’s sold out. Otherwise, I’d buy a ticket right now.
Love You Robby ❤️🎸🎸
love that album
I wish that I could go but it’s 80 miles away ,and I don’t drive down to LA or Hollywood anymore .My friend is not well ,and I just stay home due to foot,back and neck pain .I love the Soft Parade and the Doors.
This is strange. Just this morning I was thinking that Robby's Doors band should play The Soft Parade in its entirety in a show or three. So this was a shock. Great news!
Awesome, Robby Krieger! I know you guys will knock 'em out & have a great evening. I hope someday you will come up to the Bay Area. Much love to you.
That is great! Think you’re one of the great guitarists!! And you have a really warm accepting personality!! Thank you for giving us your self and your musical beauty, as part of my life. I feel with the quality of music the 60’s up into the 90’s is great to be part of a persons life
Great! When do you come to belgium?
I really really want to go it's a few days before my birthday too I don't think I have a vehicle can make it that far though my car is not in the best shape
I need one ticket please
Have a great time everyone. I really enjoy playing your stuff Robby. All the Best Sir.
Awesome I wish I lived near! Love the vibe the Whiskey has its perfect!
That sounds like an excellent show! While I was not able to catch the Doors in concert, I am glad that I’ve seen your show before and that I was able to see the late Ray Manzarek!
My wife and I will see you in Chicago. Hopefully some deep cuts from Soft Parade will be on the setlist. Also would absolutely love to hear The End and Mosquito!
I wish I lived in CA! I would definitely be there. Hope you can bring that show to Philadelphia one day!
Sounds amazing. Wish I could be there. (Scotland is a bit far away) 😪
Saludos Robby de temuco chile
Sounds like a great time, a bit too far of a drive from Florida though. Keep on playing Robbie. 🧑🦳👍🎶🎸
I want to go see this show!!!
I wish I could come out to the west coast!! ROCK ON🤘🏻🎸🤘🏻
Have FUN and knock ‘em OUT! 😎
Great album! I love your songwriting and playing!
I was trying to get 4 tickets right before they sold out, and can't find any on any sites now. My cousin is flying in from Denver
God bless you! You are a legend . Wish I could see you
🎸 I love this blue Les Paul so much, it
just has a great sound!
I originally started on a 1964 Gibson SG special. Do you have a favorite guitar?
My little Washburn has a nice sound and is easy to play
My Gibson SG Modern, and my Fender Stratocaster Ventira II, and even my Fender Jaguar
Robby just keeps Rocking everyday, his music and THE DOOR'S music will live forever. What an awesome guy Robby is.
Great sound ! My ideal is one of each.. .a Stratocaster, Les Paul, Telecaster and a 335.
SG is the best guitar in the world, and The Doors have the best guitar sound in rock.
Do it Robby, do it!
Those Are Great My favorite is Gretsch G 6120T Dark Cherry Stain
I have a Gibson copy archtop.
Maybe my modded ‘79 Fender Lead 1, but I’ve been playing a few short scale Gibsons and they’re growing on me, so much easier to bend strings and warmer tone.
I got many guitars and love them equally, congrats for your book I've really enjoyed.
I don't but I do have a question for all you guitar buffs. My 9 year old girl wants one for her birthday. What's the best to get a kid just learning to play?
Beautiful Les Paul..my favourite is my 330/12.
Great sound but too picky and heavy for me, id say c neck stratocaster but hey id never taste a d so what would i know… good vibes good Times 👍👍double thumbs
I’ve bought many guitars over the years but my old Les Paul is always my go to.
Any guitar sounds good in Robby’s hands. 🎸
My Cadillac Guitar
My favorite guitar is anything you are playing!
Love ❤️ the Doors People are strange
Yes, way better than the Batman SG
The one and only Robby❤️
a beauty. I was friends with Les. Lived near him in Mahwah New Jersey
All guitars sound great when there's an artist like you playing them. <3
I had a dream about buying one of these.i was so happy it was exactly like this one !!
Playing without a pick is awesomeness

You’re coming back to Atlanta’s City Winery Atlanta!!!!!! 😃

🎵 Music is about feeling the vibes. What song do you vibe most to?
Your solo on Light My Fire gets to me every single time I hear the song played.
God Bless Kreiger the psychodelic tiger 🙏🎸💕🎶☮️ Totally all the songs from Doors 🚪 & thru as one super collective universal current energy of rock jazz rythm & blues. Riff Master of a generation 🙏☮️🎼🎸😎 Amen!
Depends on my mood. Usually a healthy dose of Doors songs helps 🙂
Depends what mood I’m feeling really but you can’t go wrong with but LA Woman…my go to summer song….as soon as the weather warms up and the sun is in the sky that tune is going full blast and gets the goosebumps going. I do wish I got to see The Doors play live man !!!!
it does depend on where your head is at the tyme, there are days where the title track " bitches brew" hits the sweet spot......and others where ' highway star ' off of made in japan has me doing some air kendo moves !
Ok so I'm partial to LA Woman, but outside Robbie's realm.... I have to admit I can listen forever to several songs. Mad Man Moon by Genesis, sitting on the Dock of the Bay Otis Redding, Does Anybody know What Time it Is Chicago, Battlestations George Michael. Stevie Ray Vaughan version of the sky is crying, Louie Armstrong's Jeepers Creepers, walking my baby back Home Nat King Cole....funny enough I never tire of The Pink Panther theme or Snoopy theme either. It's weird what makes you smile. Vibes I never tire of...Btw great vibes on your new album.
All of your recordings you made with the DOORS. The Beach Boys PET SOUNDS record. David Gilmores first solo album.
All songs give me incredible vibes if you're the one playing them. <3
Your lost little girl
Love street 🥰
Puppy Love. The Donny version.
Still sounds a little like the doors
I feel so strange. The doors meant so much to me when I was younger. Now you can talk to Mr Robby Krieger as if he was a normal guy! But we all know Doors members are a myth!!!!! Thanks for your music mister Krieger🙌🏻🙌🏻
I think The Doors song I vibe with the most is Waiting For The Sun
When the music's over
Awesome, Robby! ⭐
The End, by this band called The Doors
It depends on my mood
When the Music's Over
Definitely has the Doors sound to it. Love the solo on Light my Fire which is iconic. Love LA Woman and Riders of the Storm too.
All The Doors songs 🎵 🤟🫶❤️✌️♥️
The Doors music is so full of vibes 🎹🎸🎼🥁
To me Queen of The Highway Has that Vibe, The W.A.S.P. as well..
Samosas and Kingfishers
I vibe to horizontal video
