    The Doors channel is the official UA-cam home of classic Doors live performances, The Doors albums, and contemporary performances and content honoring The Doors featuring John Densmore and Robby Krieger.
    With an intoxicating, genre-blending sound, provocative and uncompromising songs, and the mesmerizing power of singer Jim Morrison’s poetry and presence, The Doors had a transformative impact not only on popular music but on popular culture.
    The Doors’ arrival on the rock scene in 1967 marked not only the start of a string of hit singles and albums that would become classics, but also of something much bigger - a new and deeper relationship between creators and audience. Refusing to be mere entertainers, the Los Angeles quartet relentlessly challenged, confronted and inspired their fans, leaping headfirst into the heart of darkness while other bands warbled about peace and love. Though they’ve had scores of imitators, there’s never been another band quite like them.

      This is so true - I've seen these lists of the 100 Greatest Guitarists or The Greatest Rock Guitarists or the Greatest Guitar Solos etc in publications like Rolling Stone, Guitar Player Magazine, and other music related rags and they never mention Robby or any of his solos. I think his solo on Light My Fire is one of the GREATEST guitar solos of all time - right up there with rock legends like Clapton, Page, Beck, Blackmore, Frampton, Trower, Albert Lee, Richards, Townsend, Bloomfield, Santana. Robby has been the best kept secret in rock simply because he's a laid back player. And the Doors was not about the guitar (or the keyboard or drums for that matter - nor was the band just about Jim....)

I will love to catch your music in a small venue i have seen the doors twice once when my sister and brother brough me to your concert in miami and once when you did a welcome home concert for the vietnam vets which was execellent , you had a singer who looked and sounded so much like jim Morrison that i began to believe jim was still around. It was a most execellent concert a real doors music experience . In 68 i was too young to fully apreaciate the doors plus their was a lot of craiziness going on that day i was 8 years old then but i liked your music . The second time i seen the doors was the real deal the best

    Robby, you have a genius for understatement, but you are one of my very favorite musicians. Pink Floyd and The Doors divide the world between them, there is no third. You may have heard Roger Waters of PF say that PF was influenced by The Doors in their early years. Had Jim survived and surmounted his substance abuse problems, I believe that with his lyrics and The Doors' great musicianship, you guys would have exceeded PF. Either way, PF and The Doors are my two favorite rock bands of all time. Thank you for all the great music, Robby! 👍💖🎸😎

  • @CiscoDuck
    @CiscoDuck 2 роки тому +7

    The Doors were my 1st rock band from the moment I heard John Densmore's snare snap on Light My Fire (I heard Break On Through later) the whole band was mesmerizing, Ray's keys, Jim's vocal, John's drum fills and Robby Krieger's guitar solo just captivated me! In the months to come everyone was raving about Clapton with Cream and Jimi Hendrix - and I was raving myself, but I never stopped loving Robby's guitar bits. He wasn't an over the top player so he didn't get as much press as EC & Jimi and others like Beck and Blackmore but his licks were solid and his playing was always inspiring. I could imitate those guys on my guitar pretty well but Robby's approach was a bit elusive and more ethereal. He's always been a stand out to me as a guitarist and one I have always mentioned as an under-appreciated player. For most peeps the Doors was about Jim - I never got that. To me it was FOUR guys who all did what they did very well and were each special in their own way which made the band larger than the sum of it's parts. Robby's a legend and he deserves so much more accolades and respect as a guitarist. His slide work is unique and like George Harrison he plays his own slide style from the heart rather than playing regurgitated riffs from Duane Allman's bag like everyone who came after Duane has seemed to do. Robby's techniques are a mixed bag of influences layered into the Doors sound. There is only one Robby Krieger!
