But now, after fifty years, The Doors' notoriously quiet guitarist is finally breaking his silence to set the record straight. \u003cp\u003e Through a series of vignettes, Robby Krieger takes readers back to where it all happened: the pawn shop where he bought his first guitar; the jail cell he was tossed into after a teenage drug bust; his parents' living room where his first songwriting sessions with Jim Morrison took place; the empty bars and backyard parties where The Doors played their first awkward gigs; the studios where their iconic songs were recorded; and the many concert venues that erupted into historic riots. \u003ci\u003eSet the Night on Fire\u003c\/i\u003e is packed with never-before-told stories from The Doors' most vital years, and offers a fresh perspective on the most infamous moments of the band's career. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e Krieger also goes into heartbreaking detail about his life's most difficult struggles, ranging from drug addiction to cancer, but he balances out the sorrow with humorous anecdotes about run-ins with unstable fans, famous musicians, and one really angry monk. \u003ci\u003e Set the Night on Fire\u003c\/i\u003e is at once an insightful time capsule of the '60s counterculture, a moving reflection on what it means to find oneself as a musician, and a touching tale of a life lived non-traditionally. It's not only a must-read for Doors fans, but an essential volume of American pop culture history. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eRobby Krieger\u003c\/b\u003e is the guitarist for the legendary rock band The Doors and the songwriter behind some of the band's biggest hits, including \"Love Me Two Times,\" \"Touch Me,\" \"Love Her Madly,\" and their #1 smash, \"Light My Fire.\" The Doors have sold over a hundred million albums worldwide, inspired a major feature film, been awarded a Lifetime Achievement Grammy(R), and been inducted into the Rock \u0026amp; Roll Hall of Fame.
