The Doors' Robby Krieger Explains Jim Morrison's Alter Ego | Jonesy's Jukebox

[@musicisbrilliant]

Robby is cool on a whole other level. Its immensely inspiring just knowing he's still alive.

[@kelbell9312]

Absolutely

[@robertjohnson5795]

Totally agree. He's got some kind of hard-to -define charm about him. He's SO laid back so humble and he's got a pretty funny sense of humor, very different. Great guitar player with a signature sound perfect for that band.

[@neilpeartspurplenose8739]

He had the hottest girlfriend of all of the Doors for a reason..

[@echohotel7975]

Is it immensely inspiring? Lol

Robbie is such a national treasure . Such an important guy in music history . So glad we have him still ....And all his great stories ....

[@arricammarques1955]

Yeah, The humble are the most talented.

[@EuphoricTincture]

Robby is super down to earth, egoless and insightful. I can see why Jim Morrison felt comfortable around him.

[@jamesanthony5681]

Very down to earth. And patient. I feel for him having to be subjected to this interview.

[@JamesThompson-zk1ht]

@jamesanthony5681 Yeah, tell me about it. Jones stated flat out that he didn’t have a single one of their albums, just some Best Of compilation. And he couldn’t have been bothered to have done the slightest bit of research in preparation for this interview, or he would have learned of Robbie’s having written Light My Fire, at the very least. Maybe he’s just lazy, but to me that translates into showing a lack of respect for someone he should’ve been bowing down to.

Robby Krieger is probably the most underrated guitarist/ musician of his time. Scratch past the surface a bit and you'll see how much he's actually contributed and the massive echoes that still resonate today.

[@5ken7]

chopin broccoli -- he's great; such elegance and style in his playing. i love things like his solo in "you're lost little girl", where the solo is its own composition that is an entirely different part than the verses and refrain -- beautiful part.

[@ECNIV2000]

Chopin Broccoli -Morrison has a knack for words, but he’s just have been an obscure beatnik on Venice Beach if it weren’t for Ray, John and Robbie, talk about your tight bands.

[@erinhand]

Not underestimated by me!

Robby's first song he ever wrote was "Light My Fire." Not bad for a beginner.

Thats cool bro

[@adrianaguilar6347]

@THANATOS FANATICOS I haven't wroten any song because I have no imagination

Wrong ! Robby co-wrote and recorded a song called "Paranoia" with his band "Psychedelic Rangers" and it was before The Doors...

[@robert.m4676]

Pierre Frcs yeah but his first with the Doors shot straight up to #1. Not bad for his first( with the Doors) !!! Robbie has several others that many think Morrison wrote. But either way Jim’s voice is so irreplaceable!

[@ADDIDASSSSSSSSSSSSSS]

Indeed.

[@ballantine58]

Robbie is such a sweet man. He is very alert and has a good memory.

[@vito9674]

Robby is totally responsible for most of the music and Lyrics of the songs we admire and know so well He wrote the words and music to them along with JM later on in the lifetime of The Doors ! Thankyou for the Music and Memories Mr. Krieiger !❤❤❤

My favorite psychedelic passage is Robby's otherworldly guitar freakout toward the end of "When the Music's Over". In addition to "Light My Fire", he wrote "Touch Me" and "Wishful Sinful" another cool track.

How was he underrated?

[@pheresy1367]

@@cinemar Whenever I read Rolling Stone's list of top 100 guitarists of all time..... I see Robby's name often below names that don't belong above Robby's, and never near the top. But I am a real Doors fan since 1967, and have come to understand that there is very little middle ground between "all in" and hating them. I don't get it... my own wife "doesn't care for them".... but loves much of the other music I love.

I remember,I was only an infant in 1965, and by the time Mr. Morrison had passed on to the other side I was mesmerize d by the intro and outro of Riders oin the storm ,when it would come on the radio during the monsoon season of the Arizona desert drifting off to sleep on such lazu summer days.It all seemed so mysterious and other worldly.My min.1d always wandering along with images that were createdl from the rain and thunder.Which still serves me well in 2024 as well as into eternity .The Doors music has accompanied me

[@kevanceniceros9072]

I remember my mother bought the first Doors album due to the fact I'd become interested in playing the drums when I was 8 yrs. old. She said that I should lay down on the couch put on the earphones, close my eyes and listen to "Light My Fire" because the drum roll just before the keyboard solo would be a useful and do me right and would be one I could use in my growing knowledge and capabilities of drumming. I'm very thankful to Mr. Densmore for being The Doors' drummer, he brought an interesting plate to the table and was the hinge that kept the band hanging around for those years that changed my life and tought me so much about myself and drums that I would've never known otherwise. Thankyou John, Jim, Robbie and Ray.

Women and Morrison Hotel all come in second with their sophomore effort Strange Days and waiting for the sun effort in third. But they didn’t put out a weak record from start to finish!
