THE GUITARIST REFLECTS ON WHAT MADE THE BAND STAND OUT AND WHAT HE THINKS JIM MORRISON WOULD BE LIKE IF HE WAS ALIVE TODAY.
Robby Krieger, guitarist for The Doors, has recently admitted that he wishes that the band’s late singer Jim Morrison was still alive and performing.
Speaking on the Broken Record podcast, Krieger opened up on how he misses the band’s frontman Jim Morrison – confessing that he gets “jealous” when he sees bands such as The Rolling Stones continuing to tour.
When asked to describe how he thinks Jim Morrison would be if he were still alive today, the guitarist says he is often asked that question but has only recently changed his response.
“For years people would say: ‘If Jim was around now would he be clean and sober?’ and I’d go ‘Nah! Kamikaze drunk!’… but for the last few years, I’ve thought about Clapton and Eminem and it’s a different time [so] yeah, sure. Why not?” he explains.
