Robert Alan Krieger is an American guitarist and founding member of the rock band the Doors.

When the Doors disbanded shortly after the death of lead singer Jim Morrison, Krieger continued to perform and record with other musicians including former Doors ba
"I didnt plan on rock n roll. I wanted to learn jazz; I got to know some people doing rock n roll with jazz, and I thought I could make money playing music. In rock n roll you can realize anything that you can in jazz or anything. Theres no limitation other than the beat. You have more freedom than you do in anything except jazz — which is dying — as far as making any money is concerned."
"You know that it would be untrue You know that I would be a liar If I was to say to you Girl, we couldnt get much higher. Come on baby, light my fire — Come on baby, light my fire — Try to set the night on fire."
"In The Doors we have both musicians and poets, and both know of each others art, so we can effect a synthesis. In the case of Tim Buckley or Dylan you have one mans ideas. Most groups today arent groups. In a true group all the members create the arrangements among themselves."
