The Kinks developed their sound by slicing the speaker cone of their amps with a razor blade. It was discovered purely by accident. Today we call it 'distortion'... Based on that fact it can be assumed that this was the first hard rock song.

Ray wrote the incredible lyrics and Dave played a masterful guitar. All amidst their conflicts which were reported quite frequently. The Kinks are the very best of our time.

[@Augmuse]

Thank you, brothers Davies, for 50 years of music that tickles my muse just right.Ray is one of the great writers of the 20th Century. He is right up there with Lennon/McCartney who I think are the best song writers of the 1900's. Dave is not slouch as a song writer. Dave has a different process to his song writing but I like the results. 50th Anniversary this year so I am hoping that Ray and Dave explore putting the band back together. Not just to play oldies, no to record new material and tour in honor of the fiftieth. Not to many groups make it that far and I would like to see the legacy honored, but at the same time I want new material. Dave and Ray both still write and tour so I know they have the chops. All that remains is do they have the desire to make Kinks music in the present day with the same dedication as they did starting out. I believer that if the two Davies get together and just jam that they will have their answer in short order. Focus on the positive and I do not see the Davies failing if they put the Kinks back together again. There is nothing like Dave opening the show with some power chords and Ray and Mick following that is magic. Gives me a chill just thinking about it. I would love to see the Kinks come with new material along with the hits on tour and just remind the people who never heard the band when they still played. Many contemporary bands cite the Kinks as an influence. I believer a Kinks reunion with an album of new material and a tour celebrating the band 50 years will be will received. Long Live Ray & Dave Davies and their band the Kinks! Now how cool is that to know you are a member of the original British Invasion along with the Rolling Stones, The Beatles, and so many more?

Beatles Fanatic56 Working on one right now.....the biggest one yet so far.

[@GuitarLessonsBobbyCrispy]

Beatles Fanatic56 Great, thanks for watching.

[@ellensveding7259]

Its not really heavy metal more like rock

[@shermanhillbilly]

not even close to metal. metal is for brain dead morons

[@remaxracing]

The Kinks are the most leading edge band of that time. They are the start of so many changes that the 60s had. Without them who knows how long it would have taken for music to change as it did from 64 to 70.

[@mic123purple]

Accidently bumped into Ray Davies on guildford Hi Street after nickiing into a Kinks gig the night before. He is a really nice bloke X

[@strictlynorton]

Dave's riff here puts this track into God tier territory. They (Ray & Dave) were feuding before the Gallagher boys were even born. Brothers have been going at it since Cain and Abel 🙂

[@haimlevy654]

what a great song even today 2016

[@davidu.1901]

It is really the mark of a well-written song that it could be reinterpreted by Van Halen going a different way with it and it still is rock solid

[@3vimages471]

Great songs will always be great songs!

Haim Levy today all music is carbage.

Jobse dude. Your horizon is so narrow you could stick a toothpick in and it'd have doubled in width

carbage = waste materials thrown out of a high speed car??

People ...The Kinks were NEVER , or have ever been 'underrated' !!!!!! They were huge , and STILL REMAIN HUGE today !!!!!!!! Icons of songwriting .....I lived through The Kinks from day 1.....ALWAYS been enormously admired by most. NEVER underrated ...maybe in some people's worlds they think they are ...but you would be wrong !!!!!!!!!

If their tour had not been banned in the US in '65, who knows how big they would have been. And even with that they were STILL huge. They're right up there with The Who and Cream in my book.

[@NayaabNet]

Kinks deserve the same respect as the Beatles - awesome songs !

After all this time, this song still shines, it seems incredible to think this was 1964 , 60 years ago in July Ray Davies recorded this song with the Kinks. Brilliant !

[@stuartcanty4974]

Saw them in 1964 absolutely fabulous at the time. Even now the song is great. You could hardly hear them for girls screaming.

[@brianmorecombe2726]

@Stuart Canty That tune is as good in 2021 as it was when it was first played.It will never age.Pure rock n roll.It is a love song but with loud electric guitars,love it.

[@brianh7835]

This is definitely when heavy metal was born. Power chords and all!!

[@altonwilliams7117]

Very cool. Dave Davies really rocks out on that guitar. That’s some serious shredding for back then. 🎼🎸

[@cherylcooper388]

Remembering those days & glad they're way behind me!

[@russg1801]

Censors never quite caught on to the symbolism of the band's name! Snuck it right under the radar!

If Ray and Dave Davies could get over their little spat, it would be nice to see the band back together!
