The Doors
In this episode of BIG SOUND, we spotlight rock legend and co-founder of The Doors, Robby Krieger. For this special installment, Ernie Ball was granted exclusive access to Love Street Sound, Robby Krieger’s personal recording studio. The episode catches Krieger in a deeply meaningful moment: rehearsing for The Doors’ 60th Anniversary celebration at the iconic Greek Theater, an event that brought together an extraordinary lineup of special guests including Billy Idol, Steve Stevens, Perry Farrell (Jane’s Addiction), Deryck Whibley (Sum 41), Robert DeLeo (Stone Temple Pilots), and Stephen Adler (Guns N’ Roses).
Joining Krieger in the episode are Dan Rothchild (bass) — son of legendary Doors producer Paul Rothchild — along with Ed Roth (keys), Ty Dennis (drums), and Waylon Krieger (additional vocals), Robby’s son.
More About Robby Krieger
As the guitarist and co-founder of The Doors, Robby Krieger helped shape one of rock music’s most indelible sounds. A self-taught guitarist who fused flamenco, blues, and Eastern music into a style entirely his own, Krieger co-wrote some of the band’s most enduring songs, including the timeless “Light My Fire,” which he famously penned at age 20 and which went on to become one of the best-selling singles of the 1960s. Together with Jim Morrison, Ray Manzarek, and John Densmore, Krieger helped The Doors sell more than 100 million records worldwide, earning them a place in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 1993.
Krieger’s singular slide guitar technique and melodic sensibility left a permanent mark on rock, blues, and psychedelia. Beyond The Doors, he has released numerous solo albums and collaborated with artists across genres, remaining an active and vital creative force more than six decades into his career. Now, as The Doors mark their 60th Anniversary, Robby Krieger continues to honor and expand upon the band’s legendary legacy — and Love Street Sound stands as the living proof of his undiminished passion for music.
