With his unique fingerstyle guitar-playing and excellent bottleneck-technique he is widely considered one of the greatest rock guitarists.

Krieger taught himself to play guitar in a private school where his parents sent him after having some troubles in study. At first, he was interested in flamenco, but soon he expanded his playing to jazz, blues and folk.

Robby met Ray Manzarek in one of the meditation classes he was attending. Manzarek asked Krieger to jam with his fellow bandmembers John Densmore, who Robby knew already from a band called The Psychedelic Rangers, and a singer/poet called Jim Morrison.

Krieger wrote many of the band's classic songs. Light My Fire, Love Me Two Times, Touch Me and Love Her Madly were all written by him.

After The Doors, Krieger has become known as a jazz guitarist, has recorded multiple solo albums, and is currently playing, along with Ray Manzarek, in a group called Riders On The Storm. He has also guested on a number of projects organised by Billy Sherwood, including Return to the Dark Side of the Moon and From Here to Infinity by Jim Ladd's Headsets.

You can hear the Zappa inspiration in that solo which starts around 2:35. Very nice, I'm glad Robby did this.

Where is the 'Doors' spirit?!

Dani Glove

@The Wandering So, what's the sense pretending the Doors spirit in an album that isn't made by them?
It's a Robby Krieger solo album, and he mustn't use the sound that he made with Ray, John and Jim.

@Dani Glove I know!!!

Jazz?? Play psychedelic rock! That's what made the Doors great in the first place.

@Michael Mejia This is an interesting discussion. I agree that psychedelic and experimental Rock was something that should have been continued because it's something that I've been following and developing on my own ever since; but other musicians have other ideas and develop in different ways. What the Doors did best for me were the moody, atmospheric pieces that I still love to this day. Experiment as we wish; they did it their way. Jazz and blues is so overdone ad nauseam, but some still like it, and I can't fault others music taste... it's a personal thing. It's only on YouTube and alternative music sites that I find new psychedelic and Stoner rock I like... but I still do my own thing.

@Michael Mejia The Doors played "psychedelic" because it was popular at that specific time. Beatles went acid, Stones, Eric Burdon & Animals they all went psychedelic and if you listen to the entire Doors catalogue you might hear that they started to step away from that psych in the later albums. Riders on the storm, as you mentioned, is clearly not a psychedelic track, it's a mellow blues song - and that is what the Doors were -
a blues band consisting of four different members each with their own faves of what to play but they fused their styles into one big sonic painting.
If you were in that band, being ignorant as you are, the band would have become nothing. ;)

The Doors are my favourite band of all time. The first album that I ever bought was "Morrison Hotel" right after it was released. Shortly after I bought "Absolutely Alive" which is still my "deserted island" album.

I love this album. Musically sound and it does have a psychedelic flavour to it. As for "Riders on the Storm", it's a great song but it does have jazz influences as well as being a psychedelic piece.

Life goes on. This isn't the Doors. It's Robbie Krieger. There isn't another Jim Morrison and there shouldn't be. It's what made the Doors great. Morrison lyrical greatness and the musical brilliance of the band. You can't recreate it. You can only appreciate the wonder of it as it existed at the time.
