Robert Alan Krieger, born January 8, 1946, in Los Angeles, is a musical performer and The Doors guitarist. He attended UCLA. \u201cThe first music I heard that I liked was Peter and the Wolf. I accidentally sat and broke the record (I was about seven). Then I listened to rock \u2018n\u2019 roll \u2013 I listened to the radio a lot \u2013 Fats Domino, Elvis, The Platters.<\/p>\n

\u201cThere was lots of classical music in my house. My father liked march music. There was a piano at home. I studied trumpet at ten, but nothing came of it. Then I started playing blues on the piano? no lessons though. When I was fifteen, I started playing guitar. I used my friend\u2019s guitar. I didn\u2019t get my own until I was sixteen. It was a Mexican flamenco guitar. I took flamenco lessons for a few months. I switched around from folk to flamenco to blues to rock \u2018n\u2019 roll.<\/p>\n

\u201cRecords got me into the blues. Some of the newer rock \u2018n\u2019 roll, such as the Paul Butterfield Blues Band. If it hadn\u2019t been for Butterfield going electric, I probably wouldn\u2019t have gone rock \u2018n\u2019 roll.<\/p>\n

I didn\u2019t plan on rock \u2018n\u2019 roll. I wanted to learn jazz; I got to know some people doing rock \u2018n\u2019 roll with jazz, and I thought I could make money playing music. In rock \u2018n\u2019 roll you can realize anything that you can in jazz or anything. There\u2019s no limitation other than the beat. You have more freedom than you do in anything except jazz.<\/p>\n

\u201cIn The Doors we have both musicians and poets, and both know of each other\u2019s art, so we can effect a synthesis. In the case of Tim Buckley or Dylan you have one man\u2019s ideas. Most groups today aren\u2019t groups. In a true group all the members create the arrangements among themselves.\u201d<\/p>\n
