The Doors - Interview with Robby Krieger 2007 

A hundred years from now a kid will hear The Doors for the first time and their mind will be blown.

Robby Krieger always comes across in interviews as the most laid back and nicest member of the Doors.

He is a pure soul and one of the finest guitarist of all time

do it Robbie do it!!!

Robby is such a humble man

The Doors wouldn't have been the Doors without all four of them. Can you imagine Jim without John's percussion, or Ray's amazing keyboards? But most of all I love Robbie's amazing guitar!!! What an amazing guy!!!

Thank-you Anne-Marie. This was a great interview with Robbie.

Great, under-rated songwriter & guitarist. True, he seems like an incredibly humble person for someone who wrote some of the greatest songs of all time. Jim was the voice & persona, but Robbie was to me, the musical engine that really propelled the Doors train.

Robby so humble, the writer of two of the Doors greatest hits, Light my Fire and Touch Me.

All great musicians. Ray Manzarek re-connected with Jim Morrison on the beach at Santa Monica in 1965, and the Doors just 2 years later would have the no. 1 song on the radio in 1967.

Great interview, so natural.

Robby Krieger is the main reason I learned guitar.

I like the fact that interview is about Robbie and The Doors. All the questions are enlightening and new. It is not about all the other questions you see on internet about Jim Morrison. It is all about legacy. Thank you for such a nice interview.

Great interview well done ! Robbie seems like a great guy with a very pleasant personality.

One of the greatest bands, ever.

Robby is such a gentleman and handles the exchange with tempered resolve. He is a master of song writing and his instrument 🎸

Hats off to Robby… great guitarist and song writer, all around good guy. 👏👏👏

It's not possible to not like Robbie.

All of them were fearless. Spoke their mind all the time

I adore how humble he is 🙂

I wish today people had half of what this band had. I was born in 73, and am one of the most prolific fans, seen all video, heard all audio. This band vividly took me back to those days and I know in my head I was born for that time. But man, Robbie Krieger man listen to this and his other interviews, he's so fucking real. Don't lie, not about money, and till this day when you think how they hammered out epic album after album, at the rate more than one a year. Most bands can't even keep their members after 4 years. Robbie Krieger just is so humble, so honestly all the members just loved the dude despite all his issues. I could, and would listen to every interview of all these guys.

Great interview...all great questions. "WE MISS JIM"

You're looking at and listening to one of the greatest guitar players in modern music history! Robby Krieger is extremely talented and unique in his playing style and sound. He can be copied but never duplicated! He's very versatile in his playing. You will hear these styles in playing, blues, rock and roll, psychedelia, hard rock, flamenco, classical, funk, soul, and fusion jazz. Not to mention that he's also a genius songwriter. Robby Krieger is still jamming live and in the studio taking his art to the next level in the present day. His albums today are mature and eclectic. I highly recommend them! May God bless my friend and musical hero, Robby Krieger.

Thank you, Anne-Marie and Robbie for the interview. Very enlightening. Met Robbie at the Belly Up. He played with Eric Burdon of the Animals. Great gig. They played Doors and Animals songs. I recorded it.

OMG! She is so freaking beautiful. Absolutely gorgeous and cute and humble.

Yup, same reaction for me. I was 18/19 when I first heard The Doors and it was as if my life had been leading up to that experience. It was *exactly* what I wanted to hear.

Ray, Robbie, and John loved Jim sooo much that it is evident in their presence all these yrs later. Jim was death bound, but if he would have realized how much his mates loved him, he mighta eased of the bottle a bit. Living with the sadness of no more magic music with Jim, has been difficult (with the exception of An american Prayer lp).

Robby was the writer for the doors hits..hes the mastermind behind the madness of jim..im so glad i got to see him last year(2015)

saw them play 3 times with ian on vocals and every time they were fantastic,Robbie is probably the greatest inspirational guitarist for me .

Yeah Robbie. God Bless You man !!!!!!!!!!!!!!

The music holds up big-time. Even getting better somehow. That does not happen for all bands. Very few. Jim's power does not diminish.

Jorma Kaukonen made the comment to me that “Robbie was way, way ahead of his time.”

great interview ma'am. Really good questions and input. This is the band that started my love affair with music.

2022 Listening to his book on Audible. Great to see this interview and his perspective a good number of years back. The sofa casual talk, rich in content. Thank you.

Thanks for the great interview Anne Marie and Robbie we love ya man!🎸 xxxx

Met you @ Cleveland high school in Reseda; Calif. this was in 1967; heard you guys tuning up at our lunch time.

I enjoyed your conversation with Robbie and I noticed you got your Doors chops cut out for you how quickly you remembered a reference to keep the flow, I kinda dig you!! I will always be a word man...better than a birdman..trapped by a freak in some cage! Thanks!

Such a sweet guy

Nice interview, Ann-Marie. Robbie is a fun guy to meet, and he seemed to really enjoy your interview. I had the pleasure of chatting with him at the Belly Up in Solana Beach, CA. back in the 90s when he played with Eric Burden of the Animals. Jim Morrison was a cousin of my friend, Rob Fritzenkotter, in San Diego where Jim's parents lived. Jim's dad was an admiral in the Navy. Robbie and John Densmore went to University High School in West Los Angeles, about a block from where I lived while going to UCLA. Ray Manzerek and Jim met at UCLA film school. Robbie took some classes at UCLA, too. Small world. Thanks again for the classy interview.

Loving me some doors and Robby Krieger. That girl is yours pal. As it should be. Good job Robbie

I like Robby.

I'll never forget that summer of 67 and The Doors "Light My Fire" being on the radio and of course running out to get the album with the long version... Of course Robby wrote it other than one verse... Still one of my all time favorite songs... Fantastic .. Loved all the albums but the first still my favorite..! Robby here the perfect guitar player for the Doors, terrific player...

"THE DOORS" are a great example of how a good rock band gets things done and not waste a lot of time, there is not one bad song or album. they knew how to make great music and it takes a lot of ppl to make it fly, it is not easy to get centred enough all the time but "THE DOORS" KNEW HOW TO REALLY WORK TOGETHER. study this band. they could have kicked butt even further if things were different. Robbie is a great guitarist with a very unique sound.

The Beatles made so much great music, but for me it was the Doors! Like many others, I was a little young to fully understand their music when it was first released, but I caught on a few years later. Four very intelligent guys EACH providing their own secret ingredient to the mix, taken from many different styles of music. In later years, it was immensely interesting watching interviews with Ray, Robbie and John describe how the whole process came about. Perhaps my only complaint with some of these interviews is that I wish they were not so amateurish, technically ... sound levels, lighting, camera angles and movements, etc.

Love their music so much.

I wanna know about Texas radio and the big beat

I'm not a musician. But when I very first heard the interludes of LMF. OMG THERE'S BEEN SOMETHING HAPPENING DOWN THERE. Best Musical Novel all time. Door into MYSTERY.

Robby Krieger is damn smart lol

Merci beaucoup d’avoir publié cette magnifique entrevue

Great interview A+

Wow!! What a great/fun interview!! Loved it!!...

"Cancel my subscription to the resurrection......

Gotta love Robbie.

Music wise the Doors with LA Woman just started to hit their stride, it is truly sad because they would have made so many more albums even stronger then their first. Knowing all their music it leaves me still wanting more, but that is life. Robby is my favorite Guitarist, such a creative player and His sound.

great interview...casual..chatty kinda...& robby laid back..easy going..

Robby was so awesome on guitar

Seems such a kindred spirit 😊

krieger.....what a great guy....and lets not forget about that huge lava lamp sitting next to the couch....

The girl is like a vampire. Today , June 2020 after about 47 years I was drawn back to the Doors. I wonder , with all the global change going on if the Doors music will re-surge. It is strange, and I do not know why I am drawn back to it.?

Robby, overlooked guitar genius.

ROBBY KRIEGER RULES & ( OF COURSE ) SO DOES THE DOORS. 👍

Robbies a great guitarist unoticed shame ...he made the doors what they where!

I know what has been said before about Eddie Vedder,and I know Robbie thought he did the best job,but for me,I think Ian Atsbury NAILED IT!!!!!!!. He provided the most enjoyable performances for me.

I'm surprised this young lady knows so much about The Doors and the history of that era.

Densmores door was shut completely, manzeriks door was cracked ,Kriegers door was open half way , and Morrison's was completely open. Just my perception

I started listening to them when I was 12 and still do

You can tell each one of them are heartbroken that Jim left them so young

Great artist!

Very nice interview

If I had to thank him for one thing it would be his guitar solo in “Light My Fire” To have something like that play on old AM radio was utterly mind blowing.

I saw a tribute Doors band back in the 80's called Moonlite Drive, the person doing Jim was fantastic, the music was spot on.

I've only come to recognize Robby Krieger's genius recently although I've liked the Doors since my brother introduced me to their music in the 1970s...

Cops in cars & topless bars never seen a woman so alone

I love the Light my fire video from the Ed Sullivan show, Robbie Krieger looks so damn proud of the song in that video.. And it is so understandable.

What a sweet guy.

Wow 20 year's

I don't know what it was or still is about Jim that makes people want to know every crazy thing he did and basically just everything he did. I would have 100 questions, just reminiscing about Jim and the doors with Robby. Eddie Vedder seemed to be a big Morrison fan. The Guitarist for the Red Hot Chili peppers did Blue Sunday live about 15 years ago.

Love Robby

60s music in general doors included was so much better than most of the junk that was sold as music later

Honest opinion. No one like Jim. Love it Robbie. Know one like you either.

The Doors 5 to 1 song was really the first Punk Rock song.

Anne-Marie is beautiful, Robby is humble, and the microphone looks like a German ‘stick’ hang-grenade.

Girls got some big hands

Shoutout to John Densmore for holding the line on selling Cadillac rights to use "Break On Through" (they ran w/ Led Zeppelin instead). It's worth $15m alone to not be a Beatle, not be the Stones, Zeppelin etc and just hold onto that youthful "We're not gonna sellout" attitude. He turned down Apple too, love it.

His guitar playing on Soul kitchen is just absolute sheer genius, how he bounces off Morrisons lyrics and singing. I must have listening to that track a million times. Listen to how he goes off around the 0:54 mark like Mohammed Ali doing a rope a dope, it's brilliant.............ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-QxizIrbcSuU.html

The Doors’ first album is my fave.

HAIL - THE DOORS 👍

🚬 Your a full hit Doors fan Anne Marie? ..nice one! Must have been buzzing to meet Robbie 👁/\👁

The music stands the test of time

Robbie did her

I was waiting for her to jump on him lol

Wow RObbie was a lucky guy today. She's flirting with him man. That's cool, look at her body language. She's really close to him. Just enjoy it man I would not complain!!!!

that "mike" looks like a nuclear weapon!

That's a big microphone ...does Robby get a turn

Robbieee, when you will come to. Mexico? :(

still no book. Robbie ? :/

❤❤❤❤

There is nothing good about getting old :(

HELLO DOORS For EVERY
