Agreed totally, but I think sometimes with a band like The Doors, etc. the playing of one member, while not going unnoticed, just blends (or contrast) so well with the other musicians.that many people just say, Wow, what a great band"! Band's are first about "chemistry", members need to appreciate each others talents and of course be of the same mind set musically, the it's all about the hard work of staying together, writing songs and playing together/
@@derekemrie2987 The Doors. were a democracy . Jim obviously stood out, but within the band itself. all the members contributed. So, it's up to the real fans to appreciate and give proper credit to each member and their contributions.
@@eltatoyo9211 Exactly, Ray was a masterful keyboardist, holding down all the bass lines and adding those wonderful solos. John, and the whole band had a keen sense pf drama, and those three learned quickly to appreciate Jim's poetic vision as well as his whimsical and often wild and unexpected ways.
old hippies. I spent a few days with Santana and he speaks a language that is only used by the original hippies from San Francisco. Very hard to follow. You really have to be alert and pay attention.Robbie is from the same era! That language traveled thru the bands back in the day.Try listening to Grace Slick or Wavy Gravy. Joe McDonald or Paul Kantner. All the same.
He's the perfect example of a guitar player who didn't try to break the speed of sound but concentrate instead on melody and harmony. He is a tasteful composer which can not be said of this whole new generation of guitar shredders.
James Nolan To be honest, I’ve never heard him do anything particularly impressive or noteworthy. The Doors are not a guitar forward band. He played second fiddle to keyboards, the Doors were a keyboard forward band.
Afterburner So that makes him less worthy does it? He held the band up. I suggest you listen to their whole back catalogue again, and listen more intently.
Simonize41 Look who his contemporaries were at that time, Jimmy Hendrix, Jimmy Page, Eric Clapton, Tony Iommi , Jeff Beck, Ritchie Blackmore just to name a few. All are guitar beasts in bands that are very guitar forward, all extremely talented, all iconic. If you are in a band like the Doors, which is not a guitar heavy band, then you won’t stand out in your field , especially with guys around that I just mentioned. It was said in the original post that Krieger was underrated and I put forth why that is so. He simply is not in the same league as those I mentioned and is also playing guitar for a band that simply does not showcase masterful guitar playing like so many bands at that time did. Zeppelin, Sabbath, Cream, Deep Purple , Jimmy Hendrix all kicked the guitar into overdrive whereas the Doors did not. Robby is not underrated, he is right where he should be in the annals of rock guitar.
@steve k. you are partly right, only thing you got wrong is that they all were great musicians who had a unique style as a band. Densmore is a great drummer and Morrison was way beyond just being a poser. He was a very talented singer. But you are right that when it comes to The Doors people tend to forget how gifted they were as musicians and rather talk about other things.
Robby never overpowered Doors songs, his riffs complemented and intertwined so well with Ray’s organ. Not too many bands ever had that unique organ and guitar combo. And Robby had such intricate and cool riffs. My ears usually hurt from most rock guitar after awhile , but I never tire of Robby, it’s just so good and soothing.
when Albert King played with them in Toronto it didn't really add something...so I guess Robbie was the right guitarist for the Doors and certainly wrong for many other bands like Led Zep and so on
@@johart309 yeah we were kinda harsh on the ole cameraman.but.....nah nevermind.the negativity was coming back but i said nope.imagine how many cameramen wouldve killed for that oppurtunity though and thats all im saying.✌✌
@@Stevie671 This video is about him playing his favorite guitar riffs, so yes we want to see him play, his face is kind of irrelevant in a video like this

Phil Moore he said Robby, go to the roadhouse blues video n go to .25 speed and you’ll clearly hear Robby. And on google the lyrics say Robby but I know sometimes they’re wrong
I am so confused, how did the interviewer have the chops to get an interview with Robbie but not have the ability to keep someone from walking in front of him while playing guitar on camera ?
Back in the early 90s, my wife and I we’re barhopping in Pasadena, and in rolls Robby Krieger with his band. Much to our surprise they were scheduled to play there that night. My wife shouted out a request, “play peace frog“, and he played it! Robbie is a class act!
@@markmeadows7093 he never did, not even when he composed some of the most recognizable riffs in the history of rock. He is a musical guitarrist not a wanker.
I love that the guitar and the drums in Peace Frog doesn’t have any funky elements in them, but the song is very funky with the organ and all the instruments together. And Wild Child is so heavy !!
@Ben Hackett He did look pretty frail. Mentally there, but his body is giving up on him. He's lived a very good life though, we don't have to feel bad for him.
It’s so upsetting that Jim was the only one people paid attention to. Robby, Ray, and John were/are just as talented, if not more. They all had a unique sound and the doors wouldn’t have been the doors without any of them. But Jim had the face and the charisma, and that’s just how it works. :(
@@mirobroodthaers5716 for me it’s the music and his incredible visceral vocals . The morrison Dionysus myth is just that. The music stands upright on its own.
Every time i see an old rock musician remembering their lives, mainly when some of their mates have already passed away (in this case, Jim and Ray), i start to tear up. I mean, imagine the memories coming through his mind. Times that will never come back, but which were legendary.
Every time I see old rock musicians I always think about how it looks like they’ve never made it last the 60’s, minus a select few a la iggy pop. A lot of these dudes stayed stuck in ‘68, it’s sort of sad past a certain points. A lot of early punk musicians have done the same thing, stuck in youthful rebellion, whereas Krieger seems like he’s stuck in the summer or love.
without fail, every single time someone records one of my favorite guitar players, they zoom in away from the guitar at the exact moment they start playing the craziest part of the song
The great Robby Krieger! What a guitarist and songwriter! When he plays here, the sound just blooms in his hands. In the Doors, his pristine tone and intelligent riffing was the perfect component to Manzarek's creamy electric keyboard dream-scaping and Morrison's warm bacchanal vocalizations.
Love Robbie. His brilliance almost goes unnoticed by the organ and Jim and the syncopated beat. He is one of the best in Rock, mainly because of his jazz and classical/flaminco background. So glad to hear this interview.
@@razoredge6476 That's because he plays for the concept of the music and the music alone. He's not interested in impressing or competing with anyone, his playing is a total unselfish act, a humble cat, a class act and a truly rare individual.
Being a kid in the sixties I remember Jim's haunting voice and band playing People are strange, Light my fire or Touch me, oh and Love her madly. Great times and music.
Amateurish production to be sure. You can hear someone audibly dropping something while he's talking/playing & then some idiot walks between the camera and Robby at one point!
Seriously I was thinking the same thing and Spanish caravan is one of my favorites AND I play so I wanted to see his hands and that dumb fuck that walked pass should be shot for disrespectfulness!
Was hanging out with an older cousin while he was working as a stagehand in the spring of 1968 when The Doors played at Westbury Music Fair on Long Island. I recall that LSD (acid) was very much popular back then and one of the bandmates (I forgot who) mentioned that Morrison was soooooooooo screwed-up because 'his acid kicked-in.' That was about 20 minutes before they were set to go on. So my claim to fame was making Jim Morrison a cup of strong Maxwell House Instant Coffee and although he drank it up ... he did say it was the worst cup of coffee he had ever had !! What he didn't know was that it was the first cup of coffee I had ever made. (lol) The crowd didn't care, however. They all went ballistic when they (finally) began their set ... as they were running VERY LATE to begin with.
this riff is very simple and it's so great, maybe this fact makes to be amazing, it's like Satisfaction, so simple, basic blues, but when you listen, it's awesome.
The reason I like Robby Krieger so much as a guitar player is cause hes not much of a shredder but he writes really good songs and guitar riffs which i can personally relate to
Awesome how the best that part he plays and the one everyone would want to see his hands on, is when they randomly zoom in on his face for 15 seconds for no reason.
Robby Krieger wrote so many cool and interesting guitar riffs. Definitely one of my favorites along with Page for interesting guitar that draws you in.
I particularly like that he does not play with a pick, just fingers. Likely because of his backround playing flamenco but as someone who also plays with only fingers, I understand it's about comfort as well. Robby is probably like me insofar as I play better without a pick. Just using fingers is like having 5 picks and I can play more notes more accurately and much faster. I am a pretty solid lead guitarist without a pick but a total hack with one. I imagine it's very similar for Robby.
@@imvandenh I bet Mr. Krieger would still be solid even if he had to use a plectrum. He's such a pro that he'd work out a way to make it sound great even if it wasn't how he normally played.
I saw Robby at The Paramount Theater in, Long Island. I was right up against the stage. He fist bumped me. Later in the show, he gave my friend's son the hand written set-list. He's a cool dude.
@@sunsparkle8443 No it’s not. There is no physical damage done to the brain. It’s all in the individual and how much THEY can handle. Acid is a pretty safe drug compared to others.
I love you, Robbie. I played a Doors song for my 15 year old son and he asked me who it was. He didn't like the music because he didn't understand it. 1968 was a long time ago but I will never forget those times and the people...
Thank you, Mr. Krieger for all the excellent music you've written and played so well. Your excellent musicianship has greatly enriched my life. Thank You.
Wife who is an RN took care of John Densmore’s mom through Hospice so met John and his son Luka at the condo she lived in owned by John in Port Hueneme. Heard John on the phone to Robby one day when I was there and got to say hello etc for a bit,kinda cool .
That's awesome!! I'll never forget seeing Robby at a restaurant in Santa Monica pier as my girlfriend and I were having lunch....I wanted to go up to so bad to shake his hands, but with the biggest utmost respect, or utter nervousness....I refrained from thinking I'd be interrupting his lunch
As a fellow guitarist I respect the hell out of Robbie Krieger. He doesn't shred 32nd notes at 200 bpm or play mind blowing lightning fast rhythm riffs but he wrote and composed iconic rhythms and solos that are legendary and earned him a solid place in the music history books.
Isn't it funny how Robbie still has a kiddish look ? He's like a 18 year old who's aged overnight. Anyways, true legend. Saw him performing with The Doors of the 21st century in 2003.
Thank you so much Robby! This was a great idea to show us all how to play this great song right. I love it. I wish you a good health for many many years!
The Doors wouldn't have been nearly as good without Robby Krieger. I loved his clean sound. Crappy video but worth watching just to see a legend like Robby Krieger.
"I was on an acid trip one time and it reminded me of the devil"
that's one of the most metal things I've ever heard
😂
And how he was all casual and calm about it lol
Lmao one time I took 8 hits and thought I woke up all evil in this world and had caused armageddon. And the song "South of Heaven" by Slayer kept playing in my head. I seriously thought the entire planet was going to explode. Lol acid is no joke at high doses.
@Biggus Dickus A sheet? So you took like 50 hits damn lol that's wild. Most people I know trip off like 2.
@Biggus Dickus That's alot lol.
Extremely underrated musician. Doesn’t get the credit he deserves.
His guitar playing sounds simple but try learning the melody to the end or really most of their songs and its hard as fuck to actually do it right

I love it when Robby really gets into it, so joyous to watch.... One of the greatest guitarists of all time.
Robby Krieger, Belonged to one of the greatest Bands in history, The Doors!
Awesome how the best that part he plays and the one everyone would want to see his hands on, is when they randomly zoom in on his face for 15 seconds for no reason.
Was that shit on purpose I wonder?
sucks
Right! I wanted to see that flamenco roll thing he was doing. Shoot the camera man
TOTALLY!!! any guitarist watching are pissed!!!
@@pauljames4858 if your a good guitarist you can't figure it out by listening to it?
This is so wholesome. I had a huge smile on my face the whole time. Bless this man
Robby Krieger wrote so many cool and interesting guitar riffs. Definitely one of my favorites along with Page for interesting guitar that draws you in.
I particularly like that he does not play with a pick, just fingers. Likely because of his backround playing flamenco but as someone who also plays with only fingers, I understand it's about comfort as well. Robby is probably like me insofar as I play better without a pick. Just using fingers is like having 5 picks and I can play more notes more accurately and much faster. I am a pretty solid lead guitarist without a pick but a total hack with one. I imagine it's very similar for Robby.
@@imvandenh I bet Mr. Krieger would still be solid even if he had to use a plectrum. He's such a pro that he'd work out a way to make it sound great even if it wasn't how he normally played.
Yours truly....
Try early live Sabbath....Tony mixes heavy with jazz ...very interesting.......
His solo on light my fire is one of the best of all time he is a real.living legend
So true, and he wrote Light My Fire, except for a few of the lyrics.
Agree but especially in the live performances
I agree...the solo sounds like John Coltrane riffing. They supposedly were influenced by Coltrane and other hard bop jazz happening at the time...
This guitar sound EXACTLY like the original records!
This tone is so amazing
A livin legend, so glad this guy is still alive and playing music, muxh love to Robby
Been listening to The Doors a lot lately... this man’s guitar work on LA Woman is amazing!!
CHlEFFIN
Only the best rock intro ever!!!
@@Fabformcatering I also like the opening of wild child and soul kitchen
Marc Benno contribution as a second guitar on la women is often unrecognized according to Krieger
CHlEFFIN
Who the heck walks in front of the camera while he is playing? Rude dude!
It was Jim 😝
The same people who do not take off their shoes when entering a home.
Met him a couple of times backstage, maybe 15 years ago, always jamming on his guitar and making time for fans.
"I was riding the snake"
"It was seven miles long"
"It was cold and wet"
Pure genius
well at least its better than sucking on ding dongs.
lexoz 932 sister ray?
Ride the snake , to the lake
Seven miles
Hes old and his skin is cold.
genius?? i guess if he thought of it when he was 8 years old!
Jim had some brilliant lyrics here & there; that wasn't one.
@@pygmymarmoset4007 His book of poetry The Lords and The New Creatures is truly an embarrassment.
His right-hand technique is totally unique and amazing! Keep on rockin' Robby!
I saw Robby at The Paramount Theater in, Long Island. I was right up against the stage. He fist bumped me. Later in the show, he gave my friend's son the hand written set-list. He's a cool dude.
One of my favourite guitarists... and unique style, as he doesn’t use a pick.
I noticed the same thing. Dude's all fingerstyle! And then the flamenco at the end! Wild.
Not true. He's used a pick before, just not often.
Lots of finger players, eg. Jeff Beck, Ritchie Blackmore.... Krieger is among the best.
@Ralph Detko - Mike Oldfield has a very unique finger-style approach to his guitar playing, as well.
You should check out Wes Montgomery then. The Best!!!
Seriously what's with the dude at 5:04.
Hope he stubbed his toe on a table leg
That's simply crazy
Disrespect!
He doesn't realize that he walked by a legend
It was Amateur Hour, big time!
I was lucky enough to see Robby play at the Whisky this past year. It was absolutely incredible
What a treat to see Robby play in 2019. I came of age listening to the Doors in 1967. Still love them to this day.
Walked in front of a legendary musician while he was playing his instrument is not epic, dude
Kreiger is the most underrated 60’s guitarist. His slide solo in Moonlight Drive still gives me chills.
“I was on this acid trip and my Sg reminded me of the devil”
Funny that. In Italy the SG had been dubbed, since its introduction on the market in the 1960s, as the "Gibson diavoletto" ( Gibson little devil)....
....”and I liked that.” 🔥
🔥
I couldn't believe so many people did lsd. The trips weren't really that fun for most people. and the stuff is brain damaging
@@sunsparkle8443 No it’s not. There is no physical damage done to the brain. It’s all in the individual and how much THEY can handle. Acid is a pretty safe drug compared to others.
I love his smile, when he starts playing "don't be cruel".he has alot of good memories about it i think
A couple of years ago he sent me an autographed picture, one of the most underrated guitarist of all time
There are many guitarists who are/were infinitely better than him who have never known fame.
ब्रह्मा ब्रह्मा stfu shit stump
"Do it Robby.... Do it!!!"
You mean "Do it Lonnie....Do it! The Great late Lonnie Mack played on that track.
moviemagg That he did. He played bass on that track. However, Jim shouts for Robby to "do it!".
@@moviemagg Robbie played the solo.
Do it honey, do it!
@@moviemagg its robbie not lonnie
I love you, Robbie. I played a Doors song for my 15 year old son and he asked me who it was. He didn't like the music because he didn't understand it. 1968 was a long time ago but I will never forget those times and the people...
LEGEND. Had the pleasure of seeing him in person
Anyone straight listen back to The Doors albums after watching this?
nah, i went to the immortal hollywood bowl dvd i have.
"ode, to a grasshopper. oh, wait i blew it, it's a moth!" - Jim.
@@swanclipper i know what youre talking about 😂
Oh yea
Yes !
I wanna soon… but my first reaction was to write a little tribute to the Doors…
Thank you, Mr. Krieger for all the excellent music you've written and played so well.
Your excellent musicianship has greatly enriched my life.
Thank You.
My dad would've loved to see this. Thank you for sharing 🤘🙏
hearing those riffs makes me wanna just chill and listen to the doors again
Love Me Two Times has one of the greatest riffs in rock history. What an amazing way to begin a song.
Never change. Living legend
Respect...Living legend.
We are so blessed to have Robby and John still alive in our time.
Gonna watch an interview with sugar ray Leonard...I hope they show his boots
That's funny bruh LMFAO!!!
😂🤣🤣😂😂
Joseph Vega 🤣🤣🤣
Wife who is an RN took care of John Densmore’s mom through Hospice so met John and his son Luka at the condo she lived in owned by John in Port Hueneme. Heard John on the phone to Robby one day when I was there and got to say hello etc for a bit,kinda cool .
That's awesome!!
I'll never forget seeing Robby at a restaurant in Santa Monica pier as my girlfriend and I were having lunch....I wanted to go up to so bad to shake his hands, but with the biggest utmost respect, or utter nervousness....I refrained from thinking I'd be interrupting his lunch
Wow man, so so so cool to hear about them being friends and being on the phone like that even into old age
his parts were amazing in all these songs, great timing and tone, from blues, to rock, to pop.
As a fellow guitarist I respect the hell out of Robbie Krieger. He doesn't shred 32nd notes at 200 bpm or play mind blowing lightning fast rhythm riffs but he wrote and composed iconic rhythms and solos that are legendary and earned him a solid place in the music history books.
I find him one of the most difficult to play....then again, I suck
Legend. Still one of my alltime favorite bands. His right hand technique is amazing.
Let's give the award for best Camera operator when he focus on his face instead of the guitar while playing these wonderful riffs.
His lead on Light My Fire is forever in my brain , note for note
One of the greatest bands ever, his solo in “Roadhouse Blues” is phenomenal.
As an avid Doors fan growing up I've always felt that Robby Kreiger was underrated for his unique style and creativity.
The most under-rated Guitarist in rock history in my opinion
Ben Forsey I'm going with Don Felder or Alex Lifeson. Don Felder is criminally underrated
Many who were/are better than him who aren't even famous
Tom delonge is the most under-rated guitarist in rock history in my opinion.
7 Platinum albums and one of the best selling songs in Rock n Roll history
but you somehow think your opinion is worth anything.
Isn't it funny how Robbie still has a kiddish look ? He's like a 18 year old who's aged overnight. Anyways, true legend. Saw him performing with The Doors of the 21st century in 2003.
BullishGuy 123 it’s his giant head lol
the benjamin button of guitar
How could there be a Doors without Jim Morrison?
I mean 18 is a grown man as well, so not so much "kiddish" maybe youthful.
To me, he looks more dead than alive and not kiddish at all, but just like a very old man.
Thank you so much Robby! This was a great idea to show us all how to play this great song right. I love it. I wish you a good health for many many years!
*Zooms in on face at most interesting riff*
Seriously.. fire the camera giy
05:04 Ghost of Jim Morrison...
That was weird
If it was Jimmo, he'd've whip out his ghost dick.
LMAO....good one!
@@RickDeevey Looooool
Would have been really trippy if he was playing Break on Through.
The man plays without a pick so clearly. Amazing to hear Robbie play, always have loved his sounds along with Ray On keyboards
The Doors wouldn't have been nearly as good without Robby Krieger. I loved his clean sound. Crappy video but worth watching just to see a legend like Robby Krieger.
