His guitar playing sounds simple but try learning the melody to the end or really most of their songs and its hard as fuck to actually do it right

Agreed totally, but I think sometimes with a band like The Doors, etc. the playing of one member, while not going unnoticed, just blends (or contrast) so well with the other musicians.that many people just say, Wow, what a great band"! Band's are first about "chemistry", members need to appreciate each others talents and of course be of the same mind set musically, the it's all about the hard work of staying together, writing songs and playing together/

@@derekemrie2987 The Doors. were a democracy . Jim obviously stood out, but within the band itself. all the members contributed. So, it's up to the real fans to appreciate and give proper credit to each member and their contributions.

@@eltatoyo9211 Exactly, Ray was a masterful keyboardist, holding down all the bass lines and adding those wonderful solos. John, and the whole band had a keen sense pf drama, and those three learned quickly to appreciate Jim's poetic vision as well as his whimsical and often wild and unexpected ways.

I don't even think he cared. He just loved to play

Yeah, right! The bit in the whole video that was the most interesting to see him play

@shillslayer Shoot! Can't believe I wrote that! Thx for noticing!!! He should still be fired though! YOU'RE FIRED!!!!!!!!!!!

Yeah, they hired the wrong cameraperson for this. Sorry. Fired. Do over.

You're.

Oui le cadreur n'est pas guitariste !

Carlos Santana: hold my beer

@@arthurmurfitt7698 - Carlos was tripping balls at Woodstock and that his guitar's neck was a serpent that he was trying to control.

Same thing Angus Young thought and said, but he wasn't on acid.

old hippies. I spent a few days with Santana and he speaks a language that is only used by the original hippies from San Francisco. Very hard to follow. You really have to be alert and pay attention.Robbie is from the same era! That language traveled thru the bands back in the day.Try listening to Grace Slick or Wavy Gravy. Joe McDonald or Paul Kantner. All the same.

You had to be if you were on a band with the Lizard King

i laughed a lot at the intro to the video considering the content

😂

And how he was all casual and calm about it lol

Lmao one time I took 8 hits and thought I woke up all evil in this world and had caused armageddon. And the song "South of Heaven" by Slayer kept playing in my head. I seriously thought the entire planet was going to explode. Lol acid is no joke at high doses.

@Biggus Dickus A sheet? So you took like 50 hits damn lol that's wild. Most people I know trip off like 2.

@Biggus Dickus That's alot lol.

Amateur hour indeed.

He shit his pants.

idiots

No shit eh? He looked quite offended for sure. Brutal! This music hasl stayed with me for almost 40 years. Wild

Glad I looked at the comments first, it was exactly what I was going to say. Who could be so rude, or even allow it to occur unchecked?

The cameraman is a moron

You are so right!

The cameraman is not a cameraman.

camera man and interviewer totally f ed up an interview of one of the most creative artists of the 60's BAD BAD BAD

Anyone else start yelling at the screen?

In many ways they were ahead of their time.

To teenagers.

2019?

Yeah I have really gotten into then recently (started listening last year) and I’m 15, one of my favorite bands if not my favorite.

Pete22000 _ literally me

You shouldnt under rate him.

.

so true

It's his right-hand technique that is so hard to emulate. He's an amazing and unique player for sure.

Flamenco, that's it

I see a lot of others like this too. ;-)... Late to the party, again.

Yeah during the fast part zoom in on his face your the greatest cameraman ever dude.🤔😠👿😡

dudes the cameraman probably didn't even know there comes some fast/more complicated part. lol

@@johart309 yeah we were kinda harsh on the ole cameraman.but.....nah nevermind.the negativity was coming back but i said nope.imagine how many cameramen wouldve killed for that oppurtunity though and thats all im saying.✌✌

Smoking weed at breakfast.....=....Camera Man

James Nolan To be honest, I’ve never heard him do anything particularly impressive or noteworthy. The Doors are not a guitar forward band. He played second fiddle to keyboards, the Doors were a keyboard forward band.

Afterburner So that makes him less worthy does it? He held the band up. I suggest you listen to their whole back catalogue again, and listen more intently.

Simonize41 Look who his contemporaries were at that time, Jimmy Hendrix, Jimmy Page, Eric Clapton, Tony Iommi , Jeff Beck, Ritchie Blackmore just to name a few. All are guitar beasts in bands that are very guitar forward, all extremely talented, all iconic. If you are in a band like the Doors, which is not a guitar heavy band, then you won’t stand out in your field , especially with guys around that I just mentioned. It was said in the original post that Krieger was underrated and I put forth why that is so. He simply is not in the same league as those I mentioned and is also playing guitar for a band that simply does not showcase masterful guitar playing like so many bands at that time did. Zeppelin, Sabbath, Cream, Deep Purple , Jimmy Hendrix all kicked the guitar into overdrive whereas the Doors did not. Robby is not underrated, he is right where he should be in the annals of rock guitar.

Whip Lash this happen when kids try to discover music

@steve k. you are partly right, only thing you got wrong is that they all were great musicians who had a unique style as a band. Densmore is a great drummer and Morrison was way beyond just being a poser. He was a very talented singer. But you are right that when it comes to The Doors people tend to forget how gifted they were as musicians and rather talk about other things.

Fucking amateur production

yes, he is an asshole

They should be hanged by the thumbs.

So true! I saw Robbie in 91 in San Diego, his guitar playing was so different and amazing!

Thanks for posting the song titles I did not know the title of the second tune

The real version is a classical piece called Asturias

@@chrischavez6668 living and learning

@@chrischavez6668 only part of it is asturias. The very beginning is a flamenco palo called granainas

sdiab all you could do is laugh

Asturias, Isaac Albéniz.

It was actually do it Lonnie ,do it. Lonnie Mack played the lead guitar on that song.

@@breathspray no Jim said do it Robby do it

Go robby

​@@Mshani-pu5uq I wonder if there was a way to ask Robby ? he would know if it was Robby or Lonnie Jim was saying since he was there.

Phil Moore he said Robby, go to the roadhouse blues video n go to .25 speed and you’ll clearly hear Robby. And on google the lyrics say Robby but I know sometimes they’re wrong

Cause it's his face where it's all happening.He's survived and the story is written on his face.And you want to see his fingers? How insulting.

Why didn't the show how his foot taps at that moment

He was playing Asturias, it's classic guitar master piece, enjoyyyy

@@Stevie671 This video is about him playing his favorite guitar riffs, so yes we want to see him play, his face is kind of irrelevant in a video like this

I love that the guitar and the drums in Peace Frog doesn’t have any funky elements in them, but the song is very funky with the organ and all the instruments together. And Wild Child is so heavy !!

He is such a very nice and humble person. I hope to meet him and John when I go to LA and to jam with him . I hope my dream will come true.

@@TheTrunat And who are you????

Listen to the 1st post-Jim album they released called “Full Circle” It truly showcases the talent(s) of John, Ray, and Robbie.

Stamatis Stabos. It's so much fun to hear Robby Kreiger. One of my favorite guitarist when I was growing up.

Agreed

I met him

rcodio ! He uses 3

Amazing song

Keep your eyes on the road; your hands upon the wheels!

I love your name

@@dylane8281 Thanks. I hate Che Guevarra.

@Ben Hackett He did look pretty frail. Mentally there, but his body is giving up on him. He's lived a very good life though, we don't have to feel bad for him.

@@aliceshaw8265 yeah...I almost didn't recognize him...

barely

@Laurence Pinney he was playing the same day of the interview

Once a guitarist, always a guitarist.

Harpoon_Bakery I’m sure he can’t do sweeps and crazy legatos, but he can still play dude.

@@markmeadows7093 he never did, not even when he composed some of the most recognizable riffs in the history of rock. He is a musical guitarrist not a wanker.

that's a big agree from me buddy

davidwvolz ah, peace frog.

Great track, lucky yous

Your wife is cool

Bun dum dadada dadada da!

davidwvolz SHE CAME!

S. Iacomus that and road house blues. They both get me every time. Such simple riffs, but they hit you like a sledge hammer.

Brandon G Agreed!

He has one

@@yanhartger.1795 glad to hear so. He's done a lot for a lot of kids.

It would never sell enough to justify it. Much more influential guys out there to name a guitar after

Gibson made 100 of that Guitar

Every time I see old rock musicians I always think about how it looks like they’ve never made it last the 60’s, minus a select few a la iggy pop. A lot of these dudes stayed stuck in ‘68, it’s sort of sad past a certain points. A lot of early punk musicians have done the same thing, stuck in youthful rebellion, whereas Krieger seems like he’s stuck in the summer or love.

ArtMateGames suck it up buddy you’ll be fine

back of the roadhouse they got some bungaloOOWS

@@Illumirage Just for the people who, like to go down sloooowww!

@@exsp3s It thrills my soul, alright!

this riff is very simple and it's so great, maybe this fact makes to be amazing, it's like Satisfaction, so simple, basic blues, but when you listen, it's awesome.

Everytime i hear the riff of Roadhouse Blues my head automatically starts banging.

James Cutright when did you graduate

It was Jim 😝

The same people who do not take off their shoes when entering a home.

You mean "Do it Lonnie....Do it! The Great late Lonnie Mack played on that track.

moviemagg That he did. He played bass on that track. However, Jim shouts for Robby to "do it!".

@@moviemagg Robbie played the solo.

Do it honey, do it!

@@moviemagg its robbie not lonnie

SALUT

Frida Sitdown

Underrated, only if you don't know about music

@CAVKING19DELTA TEXAS i do

@kiki the gerbil like i said, you probably listen to pop

Was that shit on purpose I wonder?

sucks

Right! I wanted to see that flamenco roll thing he was doing. Shoot the camera man

TOTALLY!!! any guitarist watching are pissed!!!

@@pauljames4858 if your a good guitarist you can't figure it out by listening to it?

Outrageous. He starts focusing on Robbies face when he's PLAYING SPANISH CARAVAN! WHAT A TOOL LOOOOL

Amateurish production to be sure. You can hear someone audibly dropping something while he's talking/playing & then some idiot walks between the camera and Robby at one point!

Seriously I was thinking the same thing and Spanish caravan is one of my favorites AND I play so I wanted to see his hands and that dumb fuck that walked pass should be shot for disrespectfulness!

dude wtf they didnt even get the back of Robby's neck!!!

Bro this burn even scorched me a little 😂 rolling

CHlEFFIN Only the best rock intro ever!!!

@@Fabformcatering I also like the opening of wild child and soul kitchen

Marc Benno contribution as a second guitar on la women is often unrecognized according to Krieger

CHlEFFIN

BloodyBatons Good thing you didn’t toot your own horn or anything. lol

Glad to see someone recognize this awesome song

Leyenda

I noticed the same thing. Dude's all fingerstyle! And then the flamenco at the end! Wild.

Not true. He's used a pick before, just not often.

Lots of finger players, eg. Jeff Beck, Ritchie Blackmore.... Krieger is among the best.

@Ralph Detko - Mike Oldfield has a very unique finger-style approach to his guitar playing, as well.

You should check out Wes Montgomery then. The Best!!!

So true, and he wrote Light My Fire, except for a few of the lyrics.

Agree but especially in the live performances

I agree...the solo sounds like John Coltrane riffing. They supposedly were influenced by Coltrane and other hard bop jazz happening at the time...

I particularly like that he does not play with a pick, just fingers. Likely because of his backround playing flamenco but as someone who also plays with only fingers, I understand it's about comfort as well. Robby is probably like me insofar as I play better without a pick. Just using fingers is like having 5 picks and I can play more notes more accurately and much faster. I am a pretty solid lead guitarist without a pick but a total hack with one. I imagine it's very similar for Robby.

@@imvandenh I bet Mr. Krieger would still be solid even if he had to use a plectrum. He's such a pro that he'd work out a way to make it sound great even if it wasn't how he normally played.

Yours truly.... Try early live Sabbath....Tony mixes heavy with jazz ...very interesting.......

Robby plays the guitar with taste , patience and style. That is what alot of guitar players are missing

@@razoredge6476 That's because he plays for the concept of the music and the music alone. He's not interested in impressing or competing with anyone, his playing is a total unselfish act, a humble cat, a class act and a truly rare individual.

There are many guitarists who are/were infinitely better than him who have never known fame.

ब्रह्मा ब्रह्मा stfu shit stump

and while He was playing his old riffs. That's why He is still araound,beacause he has a lot of peace and joy with his stuff.

Seriously.. fire the camera giy
