FIRST TIME HEARING The Kinks - Im Not Like Everybody Else REACTION

[@zachnewman6971]

“Living on a thin line” is one of the coolest songs you’ll ever here. Immensely underrated.

[@db-gb5xi]

So many Kinks songs for you to react to like Celluloid Heroes, Rock N' Roll Fantasy, Dedicated Follower of Fashion, Stop Your Sobbing, Destroyer, (Wish I Could Fly Like) Superman, Low Budget, Don't Forget to Dance, etc.

[@reverbscherzo7850]

Great list. Add Apeman.

[@josephmilitello647]

Around the Dial, Waterloo Sunset, Tell me now so I know. Maybe the best concert I ever saw. Front row center stage. Ray Davies reached down and shook my hand and threw me a guitar pick.

[@kevinsfinney]

Yeah, Waterloo Sunset, for sure, and someone said Lola, right? Stop Your Sobbing another classic, later covered by the Pretenders.

[@josephmilitello647]

Holly Golighly did a good cover of "Tell me now so I know," which is featured in the Jim Jarmusch-Bill Murray film Broken Flowers.

[@scubasteev]

Yet Noone mentions art lover...lol killers eyes is probably my favorite

[@johnniekight1879]

This is a great newer version by Ray. The original version was sung by brother Dave. One of my favorites. The Kinks had great "B" sides.

[@Adam_Le-Roi_Davis.]

The Kinks were such an amazing band, other tracks to check out by them: "A Well Respected Man", "(Wish I Could Fly Like) Superman", "Dedicated Follower of Fashion", "Dead End Street", "Tired of Waiting", "All Day and All of The Night", "Destroyer", "Sunny Afternoon", "Days", "David Watts", "Celluloid Heroes", "Till The End of The Day", "Death of a Clown", There are plenty of others but these are good ones to continue with.

[@howeird84]

Love The Kinks. They stood out in a sea of groups at that time. Something special about them.

[@shemanic1]

The Kinks are one of those typically English bands that managed to treat us with music that was Not like everything else. Their hits are including "Dead End Street" "Sunny Afternoon" "Tired of Waiting" "All Day and All of The Night" please keep on with your reactions & keep the great music alive.

[@jeffjohnson9911]

This is a newer version with vocals by Ray, the original was released in 1966 as the B side to "Sunny Afternoon" and was sung by Dave. It was originally offered to The Animals, but they passed on it. It was also recorded by The Chocolate Watch Band in 1968.

[@Geoffreydarcy-pv4mq]

They were doing a live version of this in 1965.

[@DanSolo871]

I was only familiar with the original Dave Davies sung version. This one is pretty good too.

[@andymageen5308]

This was the B side to Sunny Afternoon, but became a hit on its own and is now recognized as one of the most influential of all the Kinks songs, as much of their stuff, way ahead of its time ✌️

[@barbaragottlock230]

You guys nailed this! There's a lesser-known ditty by the Kinks called Shangri-La. It's about class society in Britain. Give it a listen. Thanks for all that you do for Kinks fans and others.

"Shangri-La" ... oh, excellent recommendation. Seconded!

December 14, 1984, was the day I went to my 1st concert ever when I was 14 years old. It was The Kinks with Tommy Shaw of Styx opening at the Philadelphia Spectrum. I got tickets for a Christmas gift from my mom. I always play The Kinks at this time of the year. RIP Mom, Lori, Michele, and the Spectrum. Happy Holidays to all!🎄🎅🏼

[@Jessica_Roth]

The Kinks were my first solo concert ever, too. October 26th, 1980, at the Nassau Coliseum. (They played the Spectrum the next night.) I was 17 and technically my first show was when, on a summer visit to look at colleges, Dad took me to Tanglewood, thinking there would be a classical show going on, and instead we ran into a Bonnie Raitt show with a bunch of kids sitting on blankets and smoking pot, but Dad (RIP) stayed mellow. (Of course, that could have been from all the pot in the air.) But the Kinks were the first show I decided to check out on my own.

[@giuliogrifi7739]

I think the importance of this band in rock music, nowadays, is being very much overlooked.....they had almost everything in their music...punk, Beatles-ish melodies, David Bowie-ish issues, rock-blues, hard rock (during the '80s). GREAT band !!! Happy Christmas everybody !

[@LarryFleetwood8675]

Speaking of Kinks and 1984, their song "Do it Again" is great and has a funny music video to go with it... kzbin.info/www/bejne/gpa0hJ2YeL6CjpY

at the old garden for radio gaga. and as a free show in ‘Southwest’ umass amherst september 82.

And then part of the concert for the rock n roll hof in 1995 where they saluted the british invasion at the greatest single rock n roll show in history.

[@karicastanza5216]

Wow! I never heard this song by The Kinks before! I was born in 1973, so I've heard tons of the "oldies" from my Mom and Dad, but this is new for me! I love it! Thanks for the reaction. I really needed to smile today. Your mission has been accomplished!

[@williamyates694]

I was born in 70. The worst was in 1999, I worked at a music store much like the store in Empire Records (movie). This kid came up to me and asked if there was an oldies section. I asked for a specific band and he said...Journey!!! OUCH I felt a wrinkle seep into my forehead at that very moment lol. Then he also bought the Kinks....all for his mom. I was only 29 but THAT made me feel old.🤟🍻

[@harlanginsberg7269]

It's from the To the Bone album which came out in 1994 I think.Its all live and studio live albums with 2 new studio songs.

For a song that came out in 1966, it sounds incredibly modern. This could be a new release. It's also nice to hear Dave Davies.

Yes - the B side to “Sunny Afternoon” (1966). Dave takes lead vocals on that version. It’s a classic.

And this version changes one of what I consider one of the more important line. "I won't say I feel fine line everybody else"

[@brianforgie7724]

Best fuckin rock band ever. I have listened to The Kinks for 50 years and ever time I play their vinyl I am never disappointed. The Who are my favorite band but The Kinks are the best. For people my age that are in to music The Kinks have easy 30 hit tunes. Trendsetters man and they play every style.

[@DavidCormier-er7em]

I was born in 63. My sister was 9 years older than I was. she introduced me to The Kinks The Beatles the stones the doors I grew up with all the original rockers. The Kinks were always my favorite. I know all this stuff. this is nothing new to me. They made great music for four decades. A song that no one seems to remember is their last release in 1993. How do I get close to you great tune to close their era. Check that one out everyone knows all the other ones. Just a thought from an old rocker who remembers the bands till their end.

[@Jessica_Roth]

Lol, your sister was a better big sis than I was! I was the eldest and my parents were NO use (although we did have "Dark Side of the Moon" because every house in America had *that* ), so when I started trying to expand beyond the AM radio stuff I had to endure while Mom was driving me around (Dad only wanted to hear the news and classical music, so he refused to pay for an FM in the car), I just randomly started buying Jefferson Airplane/Starship albums as presents for my brother…because his name is Jeffrey. Seemed as good a place to start as any other, lol.

[@DavidCormier-er7em]

I love Jefferson Airplane but Jefferson Starship Jane is one of my favorite Tunes. Man I love old music LOL

[@geob3963]

Dave is such an amazing and influential guitarist. So much heart & soul. He plays what the song needs, not just flash & fireworks The Kinks - Tired Of Waiting The Kinks - (Wish I Could Fly Like) Superman The Kinks - Low Budget The Kinks - Destroyer The Kinks - Living On A Thin Line

[@charlover]

Once again the two of you have nailed it, The Kinks are special and truly exemplify the 60's revolt against the establishment, I encourage more Kinks. Please consider some nuggets from their "Schoolboys In Disgrace" album, cuts like "Education" "The First Time We Fall In Love," "The Hard Way" or "Jack The Idiot Dunce." Happy Holidays and I look forward to more of that thing you're doing for all of us who love you in the New Year, cheers!

The Kinks are in the class of the Who and the Stones... Celluloid Heroes or Misfits Through the 70's their concerts were tops.

It's the unofficial anthem for KinKs-fans, and ofcourse we see the irony of EVERYBODY singing in the audience along that we are not like everybody else, but it is true for the band itself. Thanks for a great reaction, and maybe react once on Celluloid Heroes (the live version) from them. It's also an absolute gem.

[@surlechapeau]

thanks@@Jessica_Roth

[@schaefo2]

You need to hear the studio version of this song, with Rays brother Dave singing his heart out, and of course playing that amazing riff.

[@Jessica_Roth]

Only the Kinks could take a rejected song and turn into TWO classic songs, 28 years apart. Ray Davies originally wrote this one for The Animals to record (can you Imagine Eric Burdon singing this, with that big "It's My Life" voice of his?), but they rejected it. So Ray gave it to Dave to sing (usually the brothers just sang their own songs, with Ray writing 90% of them) and made it the B-side of "Sunny Afternoon" (which was a #1, recall) and it featured a lovely Spanish guitar. You can check out that original 1966 version, it's very good. HOWEVER, through the years, Ray also sang it (it's his song, after all) and in 1994, for the live album "To the Bone", he decided to record his version, and changed the lyrics a bit, and had fun with the singalong bit (since the idea of people singing "I'm not like everybody else" in unison is ironic. Perhaps you remember the bit in "Life of Brian" where Brian tells the crowd of worshippers not to repeat everything he says and they say, in unison, "Yes! We are all individuals!"). And to compensate for taking the vocal away from Dave, he let Dave go all-out on the guitar, since the song no longer had to fit on the short length of a 1960s single. And then you made me spend a good half-hour trying to come up with suggestions, since there are SO many possibilities. (Not that I'm complaining, honestly.) For early hard-hitting rockers, try "Til the End of the Day" or "Where Have All the Good Times Gone?" For observation of British life, try "Shangri-La", which some people call the best Kinks song ever. (Jon Mendelsohn, the music critic who championed the Kinks and said "Waterloo Sunset" was The Greatest Song Ever Written in the English Language, thought this was #2.) For that whimsical "Lola"/"Apeman"/"Supersonic Rocket Ship" era that you love, try "Gotta Be Free" or "God's Children" or the heart-tugging "Celluloid Heroes", which you will find MANY recommendations for in these comments. For their rocking return era, try "(Wish I Could Fly Like) Superman". I suggest the performance from the "One For The Road" Concert DVD. And finally, there is "Destroyer", the love-child of "All Day and All of the Night" and "Lola" that I have mentioned more than once. (and yes, this leaves out the 1980s stuff, but that's enough for now, lol.) *KEEP ON KINKIN' !!*

Dave Davies is one of the most important guitarists of the age of rock music. He deserves a lot more recognition than he gets

[@AnyangU]

I like the shadenfreude of you wearing the New Orleans T-shirt because Ray Davies used to live in New Orleans, and that is where Ray chased after a thief who had stolen his then girlfriend's purse and got shot in the leg. I mean he is not like everybody else. Even in his late age, he was fearless like that. I am also so glad you chose the live To the Bone version which was used in the Sopranos. It is the best interpretation of this song! It is one of my all time favorite songs! Absolutely smashing. And your right about the guitar work as well, Dave Davies, Ray's brother, is one of the great rock guitarists! The Kinks were huge when they came out with You Really Got Me and got a chance to tour America. Unfortunately, their tour manager left them, I believe to manage Sonny and Cher, leaving Ray (18) and Dave (16) to fend for themselves in a foreign country. Can you imagine trying to manage things themselves at that age in a country they had never been in? I mean as the song suggests, they were fiercely independent, but it is a tall task. We don't know what exactly happened. We don't know if it had to do with teamsters taking their band name the Kinks the wrong way. Whether there was a fight or not? But, we do know the result was the teamsters refused to work for the Kinks and it effectively resulted in them being unable to tour the US at the height of their career, with all the financial implications of such a situation. The US was where the money was at. But, it created a very special creativity and it created a cult following of fans who just love the band. Play more Kinks! There are plenty of people out there that would love to hear young people get a chance to enjoy them! If you want an amusing 60s song, you should try Dedicated Follower of Fashion.

[@mikepaulus4766]

This is a live version recorded at Konk Studios in front of a small audience on the 1996 re-issue of "To the Bone". Unfortunately the link you chose edited out Ray's typical witty intro to the song. The original studio version was the B-side to their "Sunny Afternoon" single. What makes the original quite unique is that Dave Davies sang lead - typically Dave sang lead on songs that he wrote.

[@IamLertimo]

This is a rerecorded version of the Sixties original from the early Nineties -- on To The Bone, what turned out to be the band's last album. It's a career retrospective of studio and live recordings spanning the the previous three decades. I saw them live round this time and their sound was seriously heavy - Dave Davies guitar was just about the single loudest thing I've ever heard.

[@thistimeImhomie]

Great Great Great selection! Studio version is even better! Originally sung by younger brother and lead guitarist Dave. (There's even a debate as to whether he wrote it as well).

Really wish you would've done the original album version from the 1960s versus this much later live version. The album version conveys the feeling of the song better with clearer to comprehend lyrics. However, the best use of this song was at the end of one of the Sopranos episode. An episode where everyone seemingly is happy and has their sh*t together...except Tony who still feels miserable. So he does stuff to make others angry...and finally he is happy. And then this song plays.

Correct & respectable live version from the 1996' US double CD release of 'To The Bone'. Maybe you should try with the original 1966 studio take. Pure Garage/ProtoPunk seminal anthem. 💣🔥
