Robby Krieger

Alan Robert (Robby) Krieger ( Los Angeles , January 8 1946 ) is an American musician . He was best known as the guitarist for The Doors . Though Krieger in his youth many listened to classical music was his ultimate love yet to blues , flamenco , rock and roll and jazz . Artists where he likes to listen and who have also had a profound influence on him are The Paul Butterfield Blues Band and Robert Johnson .

In the early 60s he played with drummer John Densmore in The Psychedelic Rangers . When keyboardist Ray Manzarek new members searched for his band, he joined Densmore and Krieger through him. The new band - called The Doors - now had its four members would make the legendary group. In addition to lead singer Jim Morrison Krieger was the other member of The Doors which contributed to the band of texts. For example, Light My Fire , Tell All The People, Roadhouse Blues, You're Lost Little Girl and Yes, The River Knows by his hand. Despite the successes of the band were Manzarek, Densmore and Krieger still irritated about the drugs influenced by behavior of Morrison. Yet there was no fracture.

After the death of Morrison some time he was the lead singer of the group. When The Doors did decide to quit a few years after the death of Morrison decided Krieger and Densmore along The Butts Band to focus on. Phillip Chen, Roy Davis and Jess Roden were other members. The group produced two albums, but was not really successful. All three former members of The Doors now decided for themselves to work on a solo career. For Krieger still meant above all that he went through in the music. He played (and plays) in The Robby Krieger Band.

In 2002, he decided, and again as Manzarek of The Doors to act. This was against the sore spot of drummer Densmore which filed a process. The group first performed under the name The Doors of the 21st Century, and later as Riders on the Storm and until the death of Manzarek on May 20, 2013 under the name Manzarek-Krieger .

On March 28, 2014 it was announced that Krieger would have a guest appearance on the song "Her Bullets Energy" for the upcoming solo album from John Garcia .
