Ep. 47 - Robby Krieger (The Doors)

On this episode of The It's Only Rock And Roll Podcast, guitarist and hit songwriter for one of rock's most mythical and influential bands The Doors, ROBBY KRIEGER talks about his early years as a Jewish kid living in an upper-middle class “waspy” neighborhood, and how a penchant for blues slide-guitar earned him a slot in the now iconic quartet. We also discuss the band's early gigs, the story behind him writing their first #1 hit “Light My Fire”, how they each received Vietnam draft notices, and more anecdotes from his autobiography “Set the Night on Fire: Living, Dying, and Playing Guitar with the Doors”. ---------------------------------------------- ֎ For more on Robby Krieger (including upcoming releases and tour dates) visit https://robbykrieger.com/ ֎ To order: “Set the Night on Fire: Living, Dying, and Playing Guitar with the Doors” visit https://amzn.to/3WBLD5k/ Visit the 'It's Only Rock And Roll PODCAST' online at: ● Homepage – http://www.ItsOnlyRockAndRollPodcast.com ● Facebook – https://facebook.com/ItsOnlyRockAndRollPodcast/ ● YouTube - https://youtu.be/w4TLNEtjgwc ● Instagram - @itsonlyrockandrollpodcast © 2023 Howlaround Productions.
