Could be. He has an eclectic taste in music (you know that he and Densmore had a reggae band after the Doors split up). Robby has played a number of times in that Hendrix tribute show that was traveling around, so maybe he does enjoy playing "heavy." I know he admires Jeff Beck and Jimmy Page.
Those are my three favorites... Jimmy Page, David Gilmour, Robby Krieger..
I also love Peter Green, Tony Iommi (riffs), Don Felder
I think if it was Felder and Berine on HC I think Bernie wold be dong Joes parts.
If it is okay I would like to post a cover of HC I did
