Dave Davies is an absolute rock hero: He was a teenager when he created one of rock's first and most catchy power chord riffs.
I often bump into Dave in North London... Always has time for a chat . Such a nice man and a real gentleman .... Top Man.👍
he lives in the uk? i thought he live in nyc
@@bluebellbeatnik4945 Dave does indeed live in the US, perhaps he was thinking of Ray then lmao
Glad to see Dave looking and sounding well. Hes made a remarkable recovery from his stroke that he had suffered a number of years ago.
Dave's guitar work on Sleepwalker is some if the best ever rock guitar phrasing. Most overlooked rock guitarist.
Live life is on that Album isn't it? Great song and Brill Guitar 👍
@@frankmccormick1175 Doesn't ring a bell. Maybe on a different album.
It is on Misfits, great tune@@frankmccormick1175
It's on Misfits...@@frankmccormick1175
@@frankmccormick1175 misfits album! totally agree great song, Dave is amazing!
My favourite band since a very long time. Dave always seems very relaxed and cheerfull. The Davies brothers are so talented. Love The Kinks
Love the Kinks. Listen to them every day.
Dave has always had terrific sense of humour.
I like how he speaks his mind without a care what others think.
Dave has always been an honest straightforward man, tells it as it was/is.
@@chrisbotelho7212 I also listen to them every day, so it's make me feel happy
I was 14, eight grade, Southern California on vacation for a week with my family. I played "You Really Got me" the whole week, no other song the whole week. Then in 1980, when my wife and myself saw you in Boulder Colorado you played there It was great Dave got pulled off the stage into the crowd prompting Ray to ask the crowd, "would you mind giving my brother back?
I love Dave. Death of a Clown is one of the most beautiful yet haunting songs ever
Indeed - "Susannah's Still Alive" was a good track too - though less successful chart wise.
I love that song so much it hurts.
C'mon lads-get that last hurrah together and announce a final tour-please!!!!
I saw that guy kicking ass and shredding solos in front of me in 1983...Always loved the Kinks and Dave is such a great musician, composer singer , guitar player and all around good fellow... it's sad he had a stroke but he's a fighter and he's still with us today! Thank You the Davies bros. for 60 years of great music!
The last I heard Dave was near death from a stroke. Glad to see he pulled through. Every time the Kinks got big they self destructed.
The Kinks' music gave joy to the world, Davies' brothers are warriors of this planet
Dave is simply stating. that his brother Ray had written so many lyrics and musical inspirations that he felt inspired to express his remarkable talent.
I'd be willing to bet a large chunk of money that the vast majority of people have no idea what the reach and influence of this gentleman and his band have been on music.
i'm off to seek out his autobiography and i'm thrilled to see him looking healthy.
Dave always seems like a friendly humble guy who enjoys talking about his life and music.
He wasn’t like that in his late teens during the mid 1960s. He was an arrogant out of control shit.
But yeah once he humbled in his 20s he became a nice guy. Super down to earth and gregarious.
@@danieleyre8913 Yeah he was a dick weed prior to straightening out. Saw him spit at Mick Avory during a show in Boston around '72, '73. While he's playing he just walked over and hurled a loogie in Avory's direction. Totally gross. Mick just glared at him. You could tell he wanted to crack him with the high hat again. Other than that it was a great show.
@@danieleyre8913 easy now cowboy
@@jackmullinger6708lol he’s being pretty accurate, as far as I’m aware. Dandy definitely implies Ray would agree lol
The Kinks have so many great songs. Definitely one of my favorite bands growing up.
.p 7:05
Absolutely brilliant band. Their music has been a source of joy for me for 50 years.
dave so good to hear him love this man
Dave is one of the best people i know. Such a great guy.
Dave you are an awesome person!
My favorite band of all time🎶 🌹 🇬🇧 👌 Thank you Dave for this interview 🇺🇸 I saw the kinks 4 times In koncert😎 1974,79,80,89 ❤
Love it! Humility, humor, self-aware. Congrats to the interviewer!
I remember always singing 'Tired of Waiting' at my friends door when I'd knock for him in the morning and we'd be late for school. That was 1965 when I was eight and I still listen to the Kinks music today. Thanks Ray and Dave.
saw dave dave’s in hartford ct a few years ago . great to hear him live in a smaller venue.
Ray is an amazing writer, but Dave has some gems in there as well!
I've always liked the Kinks. Even during my early youth (in East Germany, "behind the wall", by the way) I liked to listen to them, sometimes secretly, sometimes openly... By the way: The lyrics of the song "Waterloo Sunset" were a topic in my English class - this is exactly what motivated me to learn English! The Kinks were and will never be forgotten! Thanks for everything Ray! Greetings from Germany!
Whenever i see dave i am instantly buzzing with a sharp smile on my face.
Why i am in all with these masterful original musicians.
These people are the dreams of my heart mind & soul.
it still bugles me just what they have done.😍
I’m 39 and have been a big rock fan and rediscovering The Kinks. I’ve heard the hits but wanna go deeper. They made really good music. I just picked this up and sounds amazing. Underrated band. Nice to see this interview.
You should check out everything from Kinks Kontroversey through Muswell Hillbillies, 1966-1971. Every l.p. different from the one before and all great. My favorite is Face to Face from '66 and Arthur from '69.
@@chrisbotelho7212 wil check it out. Thanks!
@@chrisbotelho7212 Do that and be greatly rewarded with some of the best rock of that period. The Who, The Beatles and The Kinks. The triumvirate of British rock. Although the Kinks remain my favorite.
I just love the Kinks.Back in 1980 ,I must have played One For The Road a100 times and saw them three times in 1980-81. What a band.
@@finch45lear Love The Kinks. Miss those days.
I always like to see Dave do interviews, such a lovely man.
I am so absolutely happy to see Dave here. Music the fabric of my childhood. Love the brothers Davies.
So sad seeing and hearing a legend struggling with age. Sucks getting old!!
I'm 75 years-old, and when The Kinks invaded the U.S. in 1964, they were 'MY BAND' and still are! My high school buddies and I went berserk when we first heard Dave's guitar licks. 'You Really Got ME', and 'All Day and All of the Night', are still two of my favorites, and I listen to them on cd's, video, and 'Alexa' almost every day. I have speakers throughout my house so I can hear Ray and Dave no matter which room I'm in.
Absolutely, The Kinks are & were my favorite band.
Strangers is one of the best if not the best by The Kinks. Waterloo Sunset, Strangers, and Sunny Afternoon are easily my most played Kinks songs. I'm sure Dave impressed Ray with the writing on Strangers, whether or not he ever truly expressed it to him.
Dead End Street, Death of a Clown ?
I’m so moved that he noticed the “warrior” qualities of the hospital patients struggling to overcome brain injuries, and that he took his guitar to bed with him to stimulate his tactile impulses. What a wonderful man.
The foundation of guitar as we know it right here! Luckily I saw the kinks thrice as a kid and their gigs were unbeatable because of Dave...and the fire between the brothers. Without Dave Davies anger, music would have missed the soul that inspired all of us who followed. Love you Dave!
Not the foundation of guitar,
Love to you Dave … looking and sounding so good … I was ( so proudly ) there @ Pye 2 …. Alan O’Duffy
The Kinks is a great band , music had me dancing.
This was good vibrations.....and a perfect example of ageing very well. Dave got Better....Not Bitter.....There was love here....Great interview from the Host ...The KINKS ROCKED IT....thanks fer slashing that amp Dave!!....God bless you all.....Keep un Rockin in the Free 🌎....✌️🎵🎸🎤🎹🎷🎺
What an amazing man. Long live the kinks!
Great humble musician with such a rich insight into his life and career. Let your lovely guitar speak the rest, Dave... Rock on, forever.
I was born in 1956 and my older brother bought hit records as soon as they came out. The kinks were so far ahead of everyone else and their time of course.
Terrific interview. Thanks so much. I've been a Kinks fan for all 60 of their years. I need to get his book.
One really fantastic band.
The Kinks all but invented Heavy Metal and Punk Rock. When Dave was accused of playing Heavy Metal in the early 1980s, he rightfully said....
"It wasn't called Heavy Metal when I invented it!"
Ramones took alot from "Henry the Eighth I Am I Am".
@@xxcelr8rs That was not the Kinks. It was an odd US-only hit for Herman's Hermits. Never a hit in the UK.
@@alanmusicman3385 Technically correct, but you miss my point by a country mile.
@@xxcelr8rs You'd better lighten my darkness then?
Love the LA band, 1966, 7is 7 was punk first
Pretty humble dude considering he flashed a Flying V and notwithstanding Link Wray's Rumble he invented the "heavy" RIFF ( All Day and All Of The Night, I Need You, Where Have All The Good Times Gone, Who'll Be The Next In Line and more) which became the sub genre of rock n roll called "rock" precursor of Deep Purple, Led Zeppelin and Black Sabbath.☮🎸
Kinks, See My Friends. This song talked to me. Been a serious fan ever since.
Thanks Dave for the music. my family once saw Dave in a bank in Exeter, Devon, uk.
Was he robbing it lol 😅
That was so uplifting thank you both 😊
Great man, great band.
Love Dave Davies! He is an absolute legend & a really nice guy. Bless him & long may he reign.
Love the Kinks. In my top 5 classic rock groups. I even love Apeman!!
I've always loved The Kinks. "Harry Rag" is one of my favourites.
Great guy and guitarist!
I love the Kinks Journey Vol. 1. It’s a great concept and well done!
Recentlly I've been' listening to a lot of Kinks songs,some I've known and others I had never heard like Waterloo Sunset, which is one of the most touchingly beautiful songs. I've ever listened too. And this guy plays a great lead guitar on it.
While other kids were carrying around Beatle records, I had the Kinks and Village Preservation!
I have Beatles records and kinks records ,it's all good
@Pat M Of course I love the Beatles too,but if the Beatles were playing on one side of the street and the Kinks on the other - I would go to the Kinks concert. Kink fans are different!
@@stefanhall3219 I'm a kinks fan too
@patm5086 The Kinks always had more edge,more radical! And they were still cool and hip ,after the Beatles sold out!
@@stefanhall3219 The Beatles never sold out, they just went with the ride and after Epstein died they did they're own thing eg Magical Mystery Tour, The Kinks couldn't break America because of problems with the Unions, otherwise they would've "Sold out" as well
Read that book. A great read.
Hi Dave, I used to catch sight of you n bro RD in Cherry Tree Wood.
Dave looks great! Wow interested in checking out the remixes.
I salute Dave Davis, especially for his guitar melody on ‘waterloo Sunset’, absolutely sublime and timeless, completely captures the mood of the song.
Kinks Forever!
Dave’s guitar intro into Celluliod Heroes from one for the road is still my favorites of all time
This is a really, really great interview!
I goddamn LOVE THE KINKS!!!! Davies show MAJOR class in this interview, especially when the interviewer ( maybe unintentionally) insults him about the Beatles .
Arthur is their pinnacle of craftsmanship. That is one great album.
Great l.p.
Agreed. Was just listening to it the other day (for about 3 days actually). I bought the original vinyl way back in the day. IMO their masterpiece, and holds up incredibly well.
what about the 4 before it and the 4 after it? they've given enough but i wait with baited breath anything next they'll do.
What a treat! Hello 🤗 Dave. Love the Kinks. 🎸🥁❤💂🇬🇧✨🎶🇺🇲
"Dead End Street" was the first '45 I bought as a kid in the '60's!
Great single. Totally STIFFED in the US.
@@jnagarya519 Was rather Brit specify, except when they sang “2 room apartment on the 2nd floor” we always said “flat”.
Love them
Who doesn’t love the Kinks! But that’s NOTHING compared to the interviewers haircut…the true star of this video
GOD BLESS THE KINKS! - GOD BLESS THE 60s BRITISH WAVE!
...... - m.
i saw the kinks, what a great band. dave really blew me away with the many styles he played across the playlist!
Ray and Dave Davies the best songwriters of all time.
God Save the Kinks ~!!!!!
Sir Ray Davies my celluloid hero👍
Great interview
A few minutes in, Dave is a lovely guy, I wonder what he'd sound like if he hadn't been smashed in the head with a cymbal back almost 58 years ago? Good Lord. I'm so glad he survived. Rock on, Mr. Dave. 🖖😎
There’s a RUclips video of a Kinks live performance doing “The Hard Way”. Dave is so young and looks like the perfect rock star. Maybe he was. God Save The Kinks!
Love me some Kinks… Something Else, Arthur, Preservation Act II, Soap Opera, Schoolboys. And the Kronikles, too!
Love you Dave ❤
Wow, Dave looks great!
A total hero to me
Dave is so sweet.
They dont spawn them like these Kinks guys anymore!Humble as fuck!Dave STILL got itXxx👌🎸🎼🎹🎤
The riff master right behind Keith
I'm curious what form of blade damage to the speaker altered the tone like that ? - slits in the cone ? - just slits to the cloth 'opening' out the sound ?
YAY!!! Get him in the Telly more all you TV decision makers. Where can we perspex clothes?
Your voice is smooth and pleasant - toupee not necessary man
In 1968 the debate over who "invented" "hard rock" considered "The Kinks" and "The Yardbirds". "Hard rock" -- a marketing term -- was later replaced by marketing term "Heavy Metal" and then later still "Punk".
Yes, we always called it “hard rock” in the early-mid 70s… the term “heavy metal” came later.
@@caryheuchert We were debating who originated "hard rock" in 1968.
Gotta give it to the yardbirds
@@patm5086 I can't say "You Really Got Me" there.

God save the Kinks!❤
Wonder why comments about Ray are being removed. Is it a big secret that a man pushing 80 is in poor health?
Eventually we all have to return home from our sojourn on Earth
Dave
This maybe controversial but never the less l believe it to be beyond doubt you could count on one hand the most influential groups from the UK in the sixties were Cliff Richard and the Shadows the Beatles the Rolling Stones the Yardbirds and the Kinks. The key is in the word influential their were others that were great but they all owed something to these five bands.
The 60s were a time when the best aspects of our nature were actually organizing people. For a while, expectations began to skyrocket. The comparison to today is the amount of malicious influence organizing people.
True enough - a lot of music today is completely bereft of any optimism - in fact optimism is seen as very un-cool by many. Odd when you think that in the 1960s the threat of nuclear anihilation - the end of everything - seemed very real and imminent.
Dyslexia was hidden.. Music is fun so it makes things much better
I love Ray, but to me, it is ALL about Dave and the guitar. He is to me the most underrated guitar legends ever.
Underrated and uncelebrated
good ole dave davies is in his 70s ffs!!
For all the talk about cutting the speaker it would be nice if somebody asked him about the exact details of how he did that before the man isn't any longer on the planet. Pics of the amp and speaker would be very cool if it still exists.
People didn't carry mobiles with cameras back then, no photos of his crap amp. We'll just trust Dave's word and use our imaginations.
@Stephanie knows who... Yeah, I'm 58 years old and understand that there weren't cell phone cameras in 1965. My point was that if the amp still exists then pics of the speaker itself would be cool info for guitar geeks and documentation of this bit of rock and roll history.
@@7171jay I agree, but Dave probably trashed it completely.. 😔
Such a relief to have a legend who dares to show vulnerability instead of these 'cocksure' pensioners like Sir Jogger , who doesn't mind impregnating girls that could be his grand children...
It wasn't that John Wrote "All You Need Is Love" that they wanted to kick him out of the Country. He got played by actual revolutionaries. It is in his little book called
"Sky Writing.'PS Dave is me favorite guitar player ya know. I'm not like Everyone Else.
I'm not like everybody else is golden man. Dave rocks. I'm 71 and never saw the kinks.
@@patm5086 Live 78 Milwaukee, Once Ray about 2010. Dabe's band 2016? The good stuff
