Guitarist ROBBY KRIEGER IS ONE OF THE LEGENDARY FIGURES IN ROCK. This
celebration of the music of The Doors, which ROBBY HAD NO SMALL PART
IN CREATING, is a one-of-a-kind experience that could only be
performed by the man himself. “When you think of the Doors,
“guitar” isn’t the first thing that usually comes to mind (Jim
Morrison’s manic persona and Ray Manzarek’s swirling organ usually
take precedence), but guitarist ROBBY KRIEGER PROVED TO BE AN INTEGRAL
MEMBER OF THE BAND — helping pen the majority of the group’s
songs. Born on January 8, 1946 in Los Angeles, CA, KRIEGER WAS FIRST
TAKEN BY CLASSICAL MUSIC, before discovering such early rock & roll
artists as Elvis Presley via the radio. When surfing proved to be
taking KRIEGER’s mind off of studying during his teenage years, his
parents enrolled him in a private school. Each night, students were
forced to study in their rooms for a few hours — instead, KRIEGER
USED THIS TIME TO TEACH HIMSELF HOW TO PLAY GUITAR. First interested
in flamenco guitar, KRIEGER’s playing style soon expanded into folk,
jazz, and blues. But it was a Chuck Berry concert that finally
convinced KRIEGER TO GIVE ROCK MUSIC A GO, which resulted in the
guitarist trading his classical guitar in for a Gibson SG, an
instrument that he would eventually become synonymous with.”– All
Music ROBBY KRIEGER BIO BORN IN LOS ANGELES, California, ROBBY KRIEGER
WAS CONVINCED BY A CHUCK BERRY CONCERT TO GIVE ROCK MUSIC A GO, which
resulted in the guitarist trading in his classical guitar in for a
Gibson SG, an instrument that would eventually become his signature
instrument. Studying physics and Indian music at UCLA, KRIEGER PLAYED
IN BANDS WITH FRIENDS, and eventually bumped into a drummer he’d met
a few years before, John Densmore. The two began jamming on blues
together, while KRIEGER’s interest in Indian music and culture
continued to flourish, as he began dabbling with sitars (studying at
the Kinnara School, which was founded by Ravi Shankar), and attending
meditation classes. It was at one of these meditation classes that
KRIEGER MET KEYBOARDIST RAY MANZAREK. Manzarek eventually convinced
KRIEGER TO COME DOWN AND REHEARSE WITH A POET/singer he’d been
working with, Jim Morrison. Their first rehearsal supposedly resulted
in the penning of “Moonlight Drive,” resulting in the birth of the
Doors. Quickly building a name for themselves in L.A. with their
unpredictable live shows, the Doors were signed to Elektra Records,
and issued their debut album, the Doors, in 1967. The album would
become one of rock’s all-time classics, as it spawned the monster
hit “Light My Fire,” a tune penned entirely by KRIEGER. Subsequent
studio releases —1967′s Strange Days, 1968′s Waiting for the
Sun, and 1969′s the Soft Parade — all included several classic
songs, and by the dawn of the ’70s, the band issued a pair of strong
releases, 1970′s Morrison Hotel and 1971′s L.A. Woman. In the wake
of Morrison’s untimely passing, the Doors attempted to continue on,
resulting in a pair of so-so albums, 1971′s Other Voices and
1972′s Full Circle, before packing it in. KRIEGER WOULD GO ON TO
ISSUE SOLO ALBUMS (debuting in 1977 with ROBBY KRIEGER & Friends), in
addition to playing live dates, and guest appearances on albums by
other artists (the Butts Band, Blue Öyster Cult, etc.). In the early
21st century, KRIEGER AND MANZAREK RESUSCITATED THE DOORS (with the
Cult’s Ian Astbury taking Morrison’s position, and the Police’s
Stewart Copeland initially taking Densmore’s spot) for live shows
and recordings.
ROBBY IS CURRENTLY PLAYING DOORS SONGS WITH HIS ROBBY KRIEGER BAND AND
