I am just finishing the book now.a very illuminating read! Having been a DOORS fan since 1966 there were a LOT OF THINGS I NEVER HEARD ABOUT. I certainly never knew Robbie was a heroin addict later in the 70’s-80’s. I loved reading the inside story of creating the songs, those are the best parts of it. Thanks ROBBIE!
Hey Robby great job on the book , very captivating & really held me all the way through ! I saw you play at the Keystone Palo Alto I think it was your 1st solo album wow what a show , I've always been amazed by your talent & how COOL you really are !! Thanks for inspiring me to create & the soundtrack to my life !!!!!
I highly recommend his autobiography! It's a very easy, informative, and entertaining read! Robby Krieger is easily in the top forty of all-time greatest guitar players in modern music history! Not to mention a brilliant songwriter, composer, arranger, and bandleader. He has an amazingly unique sound and playing style. He's also versatile. His latest works like The RITUAL BEGINS AT SUNDOWN and The Soul Survivors are phenomenal! He's still developing as a guitar player by expanding his music and sounds. It's pathetic that he's so underrated. Long live the great Robby Krieger and the doors!
I think it's great that Robbie has finally done a biography it takes a big commitment and a lot of courage. I know he has a lot to say and is an important addition to music history.
I have a copy of the Doors show they talked about where Jim made a spoken tribute to the other acts who played there on 13 Sep 69 at Varsity Stadium, Toronto, ON , CA. If Robby or Jeff are interested in hearing the speech and the show, I'll be happy to send it.
Jim's speech Robby refers to at 28:20 "I can remember when I was in about the seventh or eighth grade… I can can remember when rock ‘n’ roll first came on the scene, and for me it was a very liberating experience because it burst open whole new strange catacombs of wisdom that I couldn’t remember and didn’t know about and I couldn’t see any equivalent for in my surroundings… and that’s why for me this evening it’s been really a great honor to perform on the same stage with so many illustrious musical geniuses…" Then he launches into The End.
I heard some things that I didn’t know from Kreiger in earlier interviews about the Doors and Morrison. One was that he said Morrison was sick and coughing up blood before he left for Paris. That’s disturbing and telling. He kept drinking and died in Paris months later. Seeing blood is always a bad sign and requires medical attention. But Jim didn’t get help. So the writing was on the wall already. Alice Cooper, who was a drinking buddy of Jim’s in LA years ago, quit drinking and saved his life. He’s still alive today but Jim didn’t quit and it cost him his life.
It is pretty well documented though that Jim was pretty straight in Paris. He had cleaned up. All respect to you though. Your advice is correct. I just think it was too late for Jim. Jimi Hendrix however was another story.... Know what I mean?
@@goesjem I appreciate your reply but it’s not about me. I heard Krieger mention the coughing up of blood by Jim in an interview on TH-cam. I was shocked. Not my words. So that’s what I repeated. Krieger was there. He knew Jim well and was his friend. If anyone tells me they are coughing up blood, I tell them to go to Emergency and get medical attention immediately. Also, blood🩸in the stool. These are bad signs that something is seriously wrong. My friend had a golfing buddy who said he was urinating blood years ago. He was also a heavy drinker. He got medical Attention and stopped drinking and it saved his life. Ignore these signals at your own peril. That’s all I was saying. I’m not being disrespectful in any way. Poor Jim didn’t get help and ignored it and he ended up dying young. That’s tragic! Take care.

@@zyrrhos yes it’s the best, as I said in the original comment, I’ve read rays story time, johns snooze fest and sugermans tabloid extravaganza, now why are you triggered by my reckoning of this book
Well guess what pal? It just got released. And its not a stupid blues its actually really good. Check it out brother, you should be able to find it on youtube
Donnie Moder He was always laid back and low key in all his interviews. He's always a pleasure to listen to both with his guitar and without his guitar.

Robbie is so cool, unpretentious. Gives the best interviews to capture that period. He has nothing to prove, no agenda to push. 👍🎬
The most versatile rock guitarist in history.
listening to his guitar with the doors is a wonder it was utterly inspired and original.
You are a lucky man to be able to discuss this with Robby
Your book is the most interesting
Very funny in parts , wish it didnt end. Thanks Robby. You are a great guitar player and
A super good guy.❤❤❤❤
Robby, how can you be so divine and humble at the same time?
Heroine haha jk no really
I love you Robby Krieger your music changed my life and I always look forward to hearing more from you and John 💖💖🥰!!!!!
I love Robbie Krieger. His playing is
still in my head or subconscious mind
since 1967.

Oh wow, he never mentions that in his interviews. He did mention he never drank back in the day. That jim did the drinking and acid. Lol.
In fact he dosent admit to any drug use while in the doors or after. Lol.
@@ballantine58 you should read his autobiography it’s all there .
@@1rwjwith Did you ever get to see them play?
Reading the book now and enjoying it honest humble account, well done Robby 👍
It was an outstanding Book! My Wife Stole my Copy from me and I had to buy another! GREAT GUYS!

What a down to earth fellow.
Living legend! Never knew that tie thing man that’s crazy. Mesmerising man.
We LOVE YOU ROBBIE !!!😁
Book is amazing! Thank you Robbie

Robbie, thank you so much. So much respect for your memories
The Doors became my favorite band at 14, in 60 now and they’re still one of my all time favorites. Robbie lived some real history.
Hah Yeah!! me too 😁
The Doors are one of the truly great 60's American psychedelic bands ever! It's a shame thier career was so short! Great interview! ❄️🌍❄️
Six gold albums in as may years isn't a short career. To pigeon hplease them as merely a psychedelic band is as equally ill informed an opinion.
@@theclashcalling_ their career was even shorter than the Beatles imma deadhead and my favorite band celebrated 50 years together.
One of the Great?.....THE DOORS was the Greatest psychedelic Band of the 60s.
@@bluewendigo672 I like Grateful Dead and Rolling Stones better personally.
Robbie, God bless you Sir. I got your autograph back i2006 at the Whiskey event. So much respect
Thanks..........Interesting . Glad he's still with us, one got the impression he was somewhat on death's doorstep.
Robbie, thank you so much.

Great interview. Really nice to hear the stories that didn't make the book! Hopefully one day they will release the full 600+page version :)
Very interesting interview!
Rock on robbie
I think it's great that Robbie has finally done a biography it takes a big commitment and a lot of courage. I know he has a lot to say and is an important addition to music history.
Great interview
Robbie b a legend who refuses to let the music b over die hard rocker.
I have a copy of the Doors show they talked about where Jim made a spoken tribute to the other acts who played there on 13 Sep 69 at Varsity Stadium, Toronto, ON , CA. If Robby or Jeff are interested in hearing the speech and the show, I'll be happy to send it.
For any die harrds who haven't read the book yet, the story about Robbie meeting Willie Dixon is wonderful!

Robby tells it as it is
I always thought Jim writes the line about the bathroom is clear (H house)
Read the book
Big eye opening
Man this coke zero is good! Good golly miss molly la woman!
Write a second book Robby people love hearing Doors stories
The crazy guy with the blonde hair 😂 lmfao 😂
Didn't he play banjo in Deliverance?

Robbie done got himself in trouble with Lynn again not remembering her story 😂😂
Hi

Just don’t ever try to sell to car advertising 😂
Man I love the Jim Morrison and the Doors but how long can you talk about 52 plus years ago.
Forever, I could listen to stories about The Doors
Forever. will we ever get to read the other 200 pages that were edited out?
So low key in this interview.
Donnie Moder He was always laid back and low key in all his interviews. He's always a pleasure to listen to both with his guitar and without his guitar.
It is important to loosen the anus and relax it
those early photos were probably from Lookout Mountain US INTEL MOVIE STUDIO
Bohemian Grove is CONSPIRACY FACT. Been know and documented for years now.
the truth behind the black eye is that another person in the car ended up in a wheelchair, so the story isn’t exactly a choice topic.
