Couldn't agree more. Robby is just a real artist and mixes rock 'n roll, blues, jazz, flamenco, folk and whatnot in such an interesting and musical way, with interesting tonality, experimentation and a great feel. It seems so serendipitous that he, Ray, Jim and John all found each other to make such amazing and unique music, which has stood the test of time so well.
That’s what I thought On the strange days album he plays some really clean parts which sound nearly Fender-ish ... it must be the P90s , his tone change drastically once he started playing his 2nd SG with humbuckers
My top 2nd favorite guitar player!! One of the first Robbie riffs i learned on the guitar was Take it as it comes! One of the most hypnotic intro riffs :)
Gibson stop suing everybody I had 3 grand to spend a few weeks ago and was gonna get a Gibson but was swayed away by your recent controversies so I bought an Ibanez af200 instead. I'm sure I'm not alone btw
love the doors. i worked the namm show from 1996 - 2016, and the only year it was held in l.a. i walked outside and there's robby playing with his band. no stage, just set up and go. i don't think it was announced as there were only a few people there. i stood there for a hour and watched the master at work.
Just thumb problems Robby...lucky B! My fretting hand is knackered all fingers and joints by just 50yrs of age! Keep the flame Robby!! Oh you are the flame !!!!!!!!!!!!
i got to meet him there when he did the signing. i didn’t even know he would be there but he’s one of my favorite guitarists and i love the doors. i was in the gibson room playing a natural colored SG with a maestro vibrola because it looked like robby’s guitar when a guy comes up and says “we need that guitar for a photo shoot with robby krieger, do you mind if we borrow it” and of course i said yes and was blown away that robby krieger was there and needed a guitar that i was playing because it looked like his.
Love Robby's playing. He has a unique style and often interesting tonality, a very artistic approach. It's cool that he's playing with all these Zappa cats. I'll have to check that out. Zappa was, of course, another SG player, especially in the early to mid-70s or thereabouts.
@Rusty Undercarriage Karl specifically asked about RK's signature SG. I know that Robbie has issued a signature SG, then signature Les Paul and now (based on this video interview) another signature Les Paul is probably in the works. I was referring to the first two guitars not the upcoming one.
Enjoyed it. You youngsters listen it. Y’all need to experience what all these older rockstars know. Buy youself a SG or Les Paul, buy a Marshall or EVH 5150 ‘Which is the ultimate Modified Marshall’, a delay pedal or reverb pedal or both, crank it up and you will hear that unique tone that you can’t get anywhere else. It will inspire you and you will write great riffs that you didn’t know were in you. The spirit of the tone will guide you. It will change the way you hear and play. Then you incorporate your shred style lead playing over those riffs and there will be no looking back. You will need to get a attenuator or build your own which you can do for 20 or 30 bucks or run a volume pedal through the effects loop after your delay and reverb. This is for the smaller venues like the small bar on campus corner or your garage party, etc... This is where it all began and there’s no experience like it. Don’t let cost deprive you of the joy of it all. If your not married and have no children, there is a simple way to get the gear. CREDIT! Yes the American way. Do it now because once your married with kids that hope is gone for decades. Now a word of caution - Once you play a SG or Les Paul through the Marshall the women showing up to see your band get much prettier and that temptation to get married? You’ll probably succumb to it and the band is over. However, youll have the gear for life. If you get married before the Gibson/Marshall adventure you will never hear, feel or experience what all these rockstars and millions of us street players have. Go for it kiddos.
Music & More Great advice! My last years of High School I was in a rock band playing a 1973 Gibson LP Custom through a 2x12 Kustom amp with fuzz pedals. Got married right out of collage, pretty much the end of live playing. But did have my 15min of fun! (For a brief time had a tall Gibson amp until it blew up!)
Mark is a lousy interviewer and needs to be more alive and not so uncomfortable he needs to bring up the energy in the subjects he’s interviewing and hosting this could have been so much better
Groundbreaking legend, his music will be played long after he’s gone.
Yep, groundbreaking... He looks exactly like he's been taken up from the grave's ground.
Rock on Joe biden!
Love krieger , so underrated as a guitarist
He is playing is unique and sounds very different

He recorded with the doors a spooky sinister dark guitar tone love it
Wishful Sinful is one good example of what you say ;)
William Larkin especially summers almost gone
Such a kind soft spoken guy. And an incredible guitar player.
Do it, Robby, do it
I see what you did there!
Michael Jim is actually saying Ronnie in the song but I pretend he’s saying Robbie
One of the best SG musicians ever!
Chris Corley absolutely
Gibson should release a Robby Krieger SG Special based on his original 64 SG Special (which he incorrectly calls a Melody Maker)
Iconic player with some of the most recognizable guitar riffs on the radio ... he was my inspiration to get my first Gibson SG.
I could Listen to Robbie Krieger play guitar all day Long.
His first SG was an SG Special with P90s, even though he always calls it a Melody Maker.
That’s what I thought
On the strange days album he plays some really clean parts which sound nearly Fender-ish ... it must be the P90s , his tone change drastically once he started playing his 2nd SG with humbuckers
Legend indeed🤟🏼Iconic beyond😎
This and playing guitars is what mark should be doing at gibson,
CALLS ROBBY 'DUDE' ...
I know right!?!😭
Anyone notice the size of his hands? G7 will never be a problem :)
Legend,Wizard,Genius!!!
This is the legends we want to see.Thanks Gibson
Learned Roadhouse Blues on my first guitar. You guessed it, SG Special. I want a Modern
You are my sweet heart/ forever, Thank You !!! Love to you and your family.
WHHHHHHHHAAAAAAAT HE WAS BUDDIES WITH THE MOTHERS!! Thats awesome
What a legend, Saw The Doors a few years back, Still an unreal band even without Jim
One of my favorite players among others who inspired me to play guitar. A true legend.
Got to see Robby and Ray play in Virginia Beach a few years back... Was a Great show! Glad to see a Icon still going. Thanks for the great Doors music
My top 2nd favorite guitar player!! One of the first Robbie riffs i learned on the guitar was Take it as it comes! One of the most hypnotic intro riffs :)
Gibson stop suing everybody I had 3 grand to spend a few weeks ago and was gonna get a Gibson but was swayed away by your recent controversies so I bought an Ibanez af200 instead. I'm sure I'm not alone btw
Steve Kaufmann especially when they stole the Les Paul from Mr Appleton
love the doors. i worked the namm show from 1996 - 2016, and the only year it was held in l.a. i walked outside and there's robby playing with his band. no stage, just set up and go. i don't think it was announced as there were only a few people there. i stood there for a hour and watched the master at work.
Legend. His look reminds me of Splinter.
That's Robby with Jim's shirt!!!!!!
Just thumb problems Robby...lucky B! My fretting hand is knackered all fingers and joints by just 50yrs of age! Keep the flame Robby!! Oh you are the flame !!!!!!!!!!!!
Legend! And such an unassuming guy...
Long live Robbie! 🤘
huge hands
I noticed that!
Doors is the ultimate LA band.
yes but don't forget LOVE
He is only 74 years, but...
The slide on Moonlight Drive. I'll never forget the first time I heard that. Your the best Kreiger.
Criminally underrated guitarist IMO
Dear Mr, Krieger, also check out TA-65 and NAD+. They really work.
I love this man
Robbie was on fire on the Absolutely Live record! Psychedelia in it's prime....
Good interview 🎸
Robby Krieger a BLUESMAN legend!!!!
When you don't turn off your notifications at night you sometimes get pleasant surprises. Seriously underrated player.
i got to meet him there when he did the signing. i didn’t even know he would be there but he’s one of my favorite guitarists and i love the doors. i was in the gibson room playing a natural colored SG with a maestro vibrola because it looked like robby’s guitar when a guy comes up and says “we need that guitar for a photo shoot with robby krieger, do you mind if we borrow it” and of course i said yes and was blown away that robby krieger was there and needed a guitar that i was playing because it looked like his.
Master
Dude looks to be about 330 years of age. Wow. Love him him thou
1 of my favourite guitarist
Good interview.
Absolute legend, the reason why I like SGs!
Was born in the same town where Robbie bought his SG
If I only had one band to listen to for Life, it would be the Doors. Thankx Robbie. 🤘
GOD BLESS ROBBY!!!!!!!!!!!
anybody else had enough of seeing mark on youtube?
Kewl Beans he was ok here, he toned done the obnoxiousness i’m used of him at the other youtube show where he reviews vintage guitars.
@@metfan999 idk i just think he has punch face lol.
@@kewlbns69 soo true haha
Good to see him. Inspired me so much in my playing.
Legend
A very slippery lead player but wholey original a total legend
Does anybody know what kind of shirt hes wearing?
just saw this - love it, I love it madly.
Love Robby's playing. He has a unique style and often interesting tonality, a very artistic approach. It's cool that he's playing with all these Zappa cats. I'll have to check that out. Zappa was, of course, another SG player, especially in the early to mid-70s or thereabouts.
Full Circle. Great LP you should hear. Love Robby's playing and always comes across as a decent sort during interviews.
Robby i spelt it wrong.
Who is the super creepy dude interviewing Robby?
Absolute legend
I think the Flying V is the best guitar that Gibson makes. It's a very underrated guitar.
Were can i meet him
You guys still suing Kiesel? No Gibson purchases for me.
All hail the 🚪’s
Can anyone tell me why his signature guitar is a Les Paul instead of an SG?
Well his sig SG was pretty limited as far as I can recall and probably sold out. After that Gibson released his sig LP.
@Rusty Undercarriage Karl specifically asked about RK's signature SG. I know that Robbie has issued a signature SG, then signature Les Paul and now (based on this video interview) another signature Les Paul is probably in the works. I was referring to the first two guitars not the upcoming one.
Such a fantastic musician; Robbie had Riffs man!
Mark u r such a Rockstar!
What a legend robbie is.
Doors! Doors!! Doors!!!
Robbie !!
Good to see you Robby:)

I was gonna buy a Gibson but now I'm going to buy a Keisel instead!
My God...Time hasn't been kind to him.
How short life is....
He is definitely a legend M.r k. One of the best plays the best.
Krieger is a creepy dude.
Cringe cringe cringe.
Al Wolf what was cringe about it?
You’re cringe worthy. Disrespectful a-hole !
Cars by Agassi Or what ever his name is is dis respectful attitude towards ledandss never ends does it
God bless Robby
