Legendary guitarist Robby Krieger recently sat down with USA TODAY to commemorate a monumental milestone—60 years since the formation of The Doors. In the wide-ranging interview, Krieger looked back on the band’s iconic journey, offering personal insights into their meteoric rise, creative clashes, and lasting cultural influence.
Central to the discussion is Night Divides the Day, a newly released, comprehensive anthology that chronicles the band’s evolution from its gritty beginnings on the Sunset Strip to international stardom. The anthology dives into The Doors’ unique fusion of blues, flamenco, jazz, and poetic lyricism—an alchemy that set them apart from every other rock band of their era.
Krieger reflects on the band’s explosive chemistry, especially with frontman Jim Morrison, whose blend of visionary lyricism and unpredictable behavior often defined—and at times disrupted—their success. “Jim was a genius in the truest sense,” Krieger shared. “He had this raw magnetism, but he was also someone constantly pushing boundaries, musically and personally. That tension created magic, but it came at a cost.”
NIGHT DIVIDES THE DAY offers fans a deeper understanding of the band’s creative process, rare archival material, and newly unearthed insights. It’s a must-have for long-time fans and newcomers alike, shedding light on how The Doors’ music became a timeless voice of rebellion, introspection, and freedom.
As The Doors’ influence continues to echo through generations of musicians and fans, this anthology serves not just as a tribute, but as a definitive record of their enduring impact.
