In his tell-all, legendary Doors guitarist, Robby Krieger, one of Rolling Stone's "100 Greatest Guitarists of All Time," opens up about his band's meteoric career, his own darkest moments, and the most famous black eye in rock 'n' roll.

Few bands are as shrouded in the murky haze of rock mythology as The Doors, and parsing fact from fiction has been a virtually impossible task. But now, after fifty years, The Doors' notoriously quiet guitarist is finally breaking his silence to set the record straight.

Through a series of vignettes, Robby Krieger takes readers back to where it all happened: the pawn shop where he bought his first guitar; the jail cell he was tossed into after a teenage drug bust; his parents' living room where his first songwriting sessions with Jim Morrison took place; the empty bars and backyard parties where The Doors played their first awkward gigs; the studios where their iconic songs were recorded; and the many concert venues that erupted into historic riots. Set the Night on Fire is packed with never-before-told stories from The Doors' most vital years, and offers a fresh perspective on the most infamous moments of the band's career.

Krieger also goes into heartbreaking detail about his life's most difficult struggles, ranging from drug addiction to cancer, but he balances out the sorrow with humorous anecdotes about run-ins with unstable fans, famous musicians, and one really angry monk. Set the Night on Fire is at once an insightful time capsule of the '60s counterculture, a moving reflection on what it means to find oneself as a musician, and a touching tale of a life lived non-traditionally. It's not only a must-read for Doors fans, but an essential volume of American pop culture history.

Pressestimmen

“Set the Night on Fire is always warm, often funny, and frequently revelatory…an intimate and honest look inside one of the most compelling outfits in music. It towers above the piles of other Doors documents as a powerful reminder that the truth can be more fascinating than the myth.” ―People

“Doors guitarist Krieger riffs melodiously through the discordant and harmonious measures of his life and times with the band in this galloping, episodic debut.” ―Publishers Weekly

“Krieger [is] just as compelling as a writer as he is with his vast carousel of Gibsons…But besides the treasure trove of new Doors anecdotes in his memoir, the guitarist and singer-songwriter candidly reveals many other personal stories about “living and dying.”―Vulture

“Set the Night on Fire is the best memoir by a band member of one of the era’s most unique—and mythologized—groups.”―Houston Press

"Krieger relays untold anecdotes and he's ribaldly funny...Everyone remotely connected to the Doors has written reminiscences of the Lizard Kingdom, but this is one of the very best."―MOJO

Rezension aus Deutschland vom 2. Dezember 2021

Verifizierter Kauf

Robby ist ein. netter Kerl, aber manchmal meint man, er hat seine eigene Karriere nur am Rande mitbekommen. Tolle Passagen, wie etwa seine Komposition Light My Fire wechseln sich mit Galoppritten durch wichtige Phasen der Band ohne viel Details. Ok, er hat einige Drogen genommen, aber er kann ja nicht so high gewesen sein, dass er von keinem Konzert auch nur einen Teil des Spiels und der Anekdoten anbieten kann. Im Grunde ist er da das fast exakte Gegenteil zu Ray Manzarek, der zwar theatralisch, wort.-und überphantasiereich,. dafür aber weitaus detaillierter erzählt, was die Doors ausmacht und wie sie musikalisch und persönlich zur Kultband wurden - mit Details aus ihrem Schaffen. Wer die Doors erleben will, sollte daher eher zu Manzarek greifen.

Rezension aus Deutschland vom 20. November 2021

Robby Krieger Set The Night On Fire

Well, also that I received last week the UK and US hardcover versions of the book (both signed by Robby) I needed to order a neutral copy for my archive. I prefer the British variant because the cover reminds me a lot of the LA Woman record sleeve, plus I like the red background colour – reminiscent of fire.

Also, the photos in the UK version are less dark and more defined than those in the US edition.

Generally, I would have preferred if both editions had come out on higher quality paper, but I guess in these times of sustainability and for the sake of the environment, FSC paper is an adequate choice.

I think I can claim that I own and have read almost every English and German language Doors-related book published. Over time, a lot of interesting but also bad stuff was written about the group, sometimes absolute nonsense, totally invented stories, and even downright lies.

Fans want to be entertained by finding out new or authentic details about the group, but in the case of Doors literature, very often the same old stories were rehashed, repackaged or repeated in a slightly new style, often with a tabloid-style slant.

Sensationalism sells.

What a refreshing difference this book makes! Not only is it a first-hand account of one of the 4 core players in the saga, but it sucks you right into its universe the moment you start reading.

It is as though Robby Krieger is sitting opposite you on your living room couch and telling you stories and anecdotes from his life in a quiet and thoughtful manner. He comes across as very informative, sensitive, entertaining and not the least bit arrogant or condescending. Besides a few very serious and sad stories I often found myself laughing out loud while reading, because the book shows a very peculiar sense of humour that I am quite drawn to. All that made it hard for me to put the book down once I started reading.

All this reaffirmed for me that I hear the real Robby Krieger talking, the Robby Krieger I remember from our meetings in Paris/France and Fulda/Germany all those years ago.

And what proved to be a blessing for the book was the choice of Jeff Alulis as co-author - a perfect collaborator.

Since it has become a little quieter in the Doors world recently, Robby Krieger has chosen the right time to publish his wonderful biography at this time. I don’t want to give away any details… Buy the book and decide for yourselves. I guarantee you will love it!

Thank you Robby Krieger and thank you Jeff Alulis. Rock on & keep the good work coming. I’m always ready for The Soft Parade...

Long awaited, and welcome

Rezension aus den Vereinigten Staaten vom 23. Oktober 2021

Verifizierter Kauf

If Krieger is shown to have done a few things wrong here, he did dozens of things right. This may finally be that one Doors/Morrison/Doors book that is worth its weight in fresh facts, personal anecdotes and actual family details (with a half-century fully passed since the passing of the once Leather One, so it isn't easy to pace a book in satisfying proportion when it comes to balancing fan demand for Jim myth-busting or verification, and adequate personal details of his own later on in a life that is ultimately, his). Robby/Robbie (he actually elaborates on the spelling choices confusion) filled in the very long gaps ably, by keeping the text consistently buoyed by a personal, personable style that rarely feels off-kilter or emotionally-driven, while still having the courage to comment on the relevant matters of that legendary era in a matter that feels convincingly his.

That said, much credit should be given to (not so) ghost writer/co-author Jeff Alulis, who must have suppressed some aspects of his own personality as a human writer in order to preserve the intimate diary feel of the whole project from Robby's perspective. In fact, the book is not presented in an entirely chronological manner, nor is it an attempt to be a stern, cold documentary. The book shows that it's sometimes okay, and even necessary, to jump back and forth through time, because history itself isn't always so linear, as experienced or understood at the time.

To even the most obsessively well-read and informed Doors fan, there is a great deal of new and even shocking detail here; not so much about Morrison (although he does add further more to the negative side of his reality - but even more positive detail in that regard), but about his own life after 1971. And in some ways, Krieger would cross some boundaries that makes Jim actually come across as less controversial. We are given a long-term view of the challenging but surviving marriage between him and Lynn, as well as insightful attempts to maintain relationships with his immediate family members through quite a few crises. The book is rich in surprising revelation regarding key moments including the Sullivan show, the "black eye," and the failed attempt to carry one as a trio in 1971.

One downside to the book (maybe for some) is the lack of detail regarding his post-Doors recording career, in terms of the music itself. I recall his No Habla album/CD being well-received, but he mentions the name only, and some of the players, in a different context. Gearheads might be disappointed by only smattering mention of his amps and trusty Gibson, and Spanish acoustics that his father was able to bring back from Europe while he was still in his teens, and not even yet tuned into the idea of forming a rock and roll band. Krieger had a very comfortable California upbringing, and never fully left that part of his life behind. Taught to golf early, he adds experiences from his mischievous teen years doing that, as well as surprising tidbits much later on (although hitting the links with Alice Cooper isn't THAT surprising).

Krieger also frequently addresses his awareness of public criticisms over the decades that he did not do enough regarding Jim (he demonstrates that that isn't quite accurate, but deftly rationalizes when it is), and maybe took the wrong side(in the eyes of some) in the later legal battles with John Densmore, or the Morrison/Courson estate wars.. Fortunately, those two were able to reconcile quite a bit, at least after Ray Manzarek's passing in 2013, whom Krieger thanks heavily, as well, for the whole journey. Where his 'in-the-middle' stance was often portrayed as a flaw, here he displays it as a much-needed strength, to tie up many of the non-matching loose ends over the years. He even scoffs at some of the Jim/Paris conspiracy theories - although he DOES seem to sneak in one or two of his own at the end, accompanied with only hints of background knowledge.

Robby doesn't attempt to portray a complete picture of Jim, and acknowledges Morrison was often off with his own friends (mostly film school buddies, whom Krieger insists were bigger enablers, if anybody is to be labeled in such a manner) or erstwhile and esoteric lovers who themselves had only a few pieces of the Morrison puzzle And he even expresses just a bit of anger toward Jim, if only to remind critics that he was one of the people right there who had to deal with the drunken drama, literal damage and career-threatening moments. But it's mostly love for Jim and everyone else, all easily balanced out in the winds of time. Robby's own demons were only starting to gestate after Jim died, but he was able to rely on his long-time meditative practices that he, John and Ray had picked up directly from the Maharishi in 1965 to maintain some levity and continuity when other things were not going well. Robby says he never found Nirvana or the key to the universe in his 20 minute sessions, but if there is any credible example of "the journey" being an effective part of the process, then this story is probably a fitting candidate.
