As the guitarist of one of the most legendary bands in rock 'n' roll history, Robby Krieger is full of stories from his time with The Doors. For this episode of New & Approved, Robby joined Matt Pinfield to dive deep into his past and also to discuss what he's currently up to.

Robby is a LEGEND. The Doors RULE. Definitely my favorite band of the 60's and one of my top 5 bands of all time.

This is a great interview by Matt. Love that Robby is still prolific and recording this late in life that he forgets the name of his last album. May he get to do it right up the end like Bergman and Kurosawa did with film.

VERY cool stuff !!

May God bless my friend and guitar hero, the great and incomparable Robby Krieger! He's such a humble, loving, and generous human being. Robby is also a musical genius and a living icon. He's still expanding on his genius by creating brilliant and innovative music today! He's an incredible songwriter, composer, musician, and arranger. He's incredibly versatile as a guitar player. He plays so many different styles so well, blues, psychedelia, rock and roll, jazz-rock, rhythm and blues, funk, hard rock, and flamenco. This cat is highly underrated! But, that's okay because true music intellectuals are aware of his brilliance. My favorite guitar solos by him are from Texas Radio and The Big Beat, Who Scared You, When The Music's Over, It Slipped My Mind, and The Mosquito, from the FULL CIRCLE album. A real funky and melodic cat! His son Waylon is also a talented and charismatic singer as well. Shout out from your homie Frantz, Robby!

Aul Robby boy. Legend

Robby’s great to listen to. When I was in college in 81 we would hang out with a friend who had a good stereo with a limited record collection but one of them was Strange Days and that’s when I grew to love that album. I’ve got tickets to the show in Castaic. I’m a fan of the Soft Parade. I think the LP sounds amazing and it’s been on regular rotation since I bought the box set a few months back. Five stars. Signed copy of Robby’s book I couldn’t put down, that’s why I’m so into the Doors again.

I remember watermelon man My older brothers used to Listen to it.

[@ryangettig274]

Robbie wrote the hits!looks great in the Feast Of Friends film as well:)

[@lamper2]

He signed my old boot VHS that Ray had signed years earlier too bad Ray's signature is pretty faded and Robbie's is to Lee which collectors don't like or i'd sell it for a lot

[@user-ll2yj3hy4c]

some of the hits.

[@me67226]

Where did you see Feast of Friends???

[@seltonk5136]

9:22 Also didn't nutty Professor Irwin Corey live there too? He loved Castro-the asshole! Does Matt even have his microphone on? Is "stronger than dirt" audible on cd? i seem to remember it was not.

[@edwardlawrence3856]

Didn't the Grateful Dead have two drummers circa 1967?

[@JoeyArmstrong2800]

Strange Days is a better album than the debut in my opinion.

[@DirtyCityMick]

Your microphone is broken dude.

[@edwardcurl3856]

The interviewers voice is shot..cant really hear him very well.
