GUITARIST ROBBY KRIEGER HAS WRITTEN A NEW MEMOIR TITLED 'SET THE NIGHT ON FIRE: LIVING, DYING, AND PLAYING GUITAR WITH THE DOORS'
It’s been 50 years since Robby Krieger lost his pal Jim Morrison—and now he’s ready to set the record straight.
The Doors’ guitarist has a new memoir titled Set the Night on Fire: Living, Dying, and Playing Guitar with The Doors where he shares never-before-told stories about some of the most infamous moments of the group’s career.
Morrison propelled The Doors to several major hits between 1965 and 1971, including "Light My Fire," "Hello I Love You," "Touch Me" and "Riders on the Storm." The frontman said that as a child, he witnessed a car accident on a Native American reservation, an event that loomed large in his lyrics and poetry.
