One of rock's greatest guitarists celebrates band's milestone anniversary
"He certainly doesn't get enough credit for the latter, which probably has a lot to do with the songwriting credits on The Doors albums often going to the band as a whole Krieger, vocalist Jim Morrison, drummer John Densmore and keyboardist Ray Manzarek. Yet, it was actually the guitarist who wrote (or co-wrote) many of the group's most notable songs."
"Robby Krieger is moments away from making an all-too-rare concert appearance in Northern California. Yet, before greeting his highly appreciative audience and delivering an amazing 2-hour-plus show of some of the best music in rock n' roll history at the 2025 BottleRock Napa Valley the legendary guitarist for The Doors would sit down backstage with me for an exclusive interview."
Robby Krieger, 79, is a Los Angeles native and a founding guitarist and songwriter for The Doors. He wrote or co-wrote many of the group's seminal songs, including Peace Frog, Love Me Two Times, Touch Me, Love Her Madly and Light My Fire, his first composition for the band. Krieger and his touring band — Ty Dennis (drums), Dan Rothchild (bass), Ed Roth (keys) and his son Waylon (vocals) — performed at BottleRock Napa Valley as part of a multi-month 60th anniversary celebration that includes full-album shows at the Whisky A Go-Go and a culminating Oct. 30 concert at the Greek Theatre.
