~Tapping into Your Potential Where Others Saw None~
The song came out in 1964. And no Jimmy Page did not play on this song or on any of the Kinks singles that we're released. It was Dave Davies playing all the guitar parts including the solo. The Jimmy Page rumor would be linked to "All of the day and all of the night" which he was in the studio during the recording of that track. "You really got me" reaching #1 on the charts which was a complete shock to all involved due to it being the bands 2nd ever single recorded and it becoming such a big hit. That song also was revolutionary because it was the first Time distorted guitar would be heard in a pop song.
During that recording session guitarist Dave Davies was recording his guitar part and was unhappy with his tone so he decided to do something drastic to dirty up that tone. So he experimented with slicing up his amp speaker cone which resulted in a distorted guitar sound. Needless to say it blew everyone away. Many from Bruce Springsteen, Ozzy to the likes of the Van Helen brothers have stated that "It was the toughest thing they ever heard" and inspired them to learn guitar.
The record label wanted to capitalize on that success and felt the band could use some help on their next single "All of the Day and all of the Night". The band had only been together for less than a year and primarily did song covers "You really got me" essentiallly was their first original track. They just had a few other original yet to be fully developed tracks which the label wanted them to complete and get it out and strike while the iron is hot. Remember these were the days of the song single, especially for unestablished artist also one must also remember that the brothers Ray & Dave Davies we're still teenagers. Ray was 18 and Dave 17. Due to their age and their inexperience the label felt they could use some help with their next single "All of the Day and All of the Night". This is were the Jimmy Page playing on The Kinks lore comes from.
Jimmy Page at that time was a studio musician that was working for the studio where the Kinks recorded "All of the Day and all of the Night". It was on that track that the producers brought Jimmy Page and another guitarist laid down a guitar solo in addition to Dave Davies. It turns out that they did not use the Jimmy Page solo and went with Dave Davies solo which turned out better. It appears they did not need any help from anyone after all regardless of their relative inexperience. That song would also become a chart topper and rest would be history.
Now as for the band The Kinks and their legacy one should not understate the Importance of this band and their contribution to the music world. They are possibly the most underrated influential band to emerge in the 2nd half to the 20th century. Their musical DNA can be found through many styles and legendary bands. They would have an impact on countless other bands including contemporaries like The Beatles & The Who to other influential bands like The Ramones, The Clash; from Rock, Indy, Pop to Punk.
They were the first band to hit the music scene with a number one charting song that had a distinct distorted guitar sound and riff with "You Really Got Me". A song that in 1964 was like the equivalent of going from Black & White TV to Color. Distorted guitar would be the foundation to Rock/Hard Rock/Metal and of course Punk Rock and they all can thank Dave Davies and The Kinks for that.
Thanks man, that was great info, I thought that I was the only one that got that thorough on a subject or band I was really familiar with, even had people tell me it was too long, but I type quick and come from a time that people didn't have to consume media in 2 sentences or a 2min video, so bravo! There was a bunch of stuff in there I was not aware of, one thing I've always heard over the years, as an 80s kid, is that The Ramones are widely considered the godfathers of punk rock music, but weren't they pretty heavily influenced by the Kinks, they might have even played together if I'm not mistaken. Punk fans don't start yelling at me, I know there there was a big U.K. punk movement with the Sex Pistols and others that had a huge influence on the scene, just stating what I have read over the years.
Well done, sir. I've added a wee bit myself, but you've done a masterful- and accurate- job. Gosh it's nice to read something true and meaningful on the internet. Thanks- Peace from Canada.
Truth!
Not Jimmy Page. Dave Davies.
@@sunshynff The Stooges, MC5, et al, were all well before the Ramones. (Who I have great time for)
Dave Davies, man! One of the first people to ever do a distorted guitar sound. He did it by shredding his speaker with a razor blade. This is basically the big bang of heavy music. Jimmy Page is not on this song or in the Kinks, but they came out of the same time and place, the amazing UK rock scene in the 60s.
The 1960's music scene in England was thanks to the Mississippi blues scene in the 1930's qnd 40's. And places like Chicago and memphis. The british ate that music up and didnt care that they were mainly black musicians. It was the music.
Hmmm... razor blade, huh. Real cutting edge.
That's the great Mr. Dave Davies . Dave used a razor and sliced his cheap green amp and fed it back to create this unique sound. Jimmy Page has admitted he did not play this riff on the track. God Save the Kinks!
This song is so iconic.
When Van Halen covered it on their self-titled album. It led me down the Kinks rabbit hole.
As I mentioned in the Zombies video, this was part of the British Invasion in late 1964/early 1965. Can you imagine being a teenager in 1964, raised on Elvis, then the Beatles come along, and now all of a sudden you hear that crunchy guitar in this song?? Definitely one of the major influences of hard rock and blues based rock for decades to come. Even modern day rock artists, not that there are many of them, would probaly credit The Kinks as a major influence.
I was a teenager in 1964/65 (14/15 to be exact). And it happened just as you describe...but I wouldn't trade that experience for anything. And I mean ANYTHING.
Van!!! 1964, not 1978. Dave Davies, on lead guitar, took razor blades and sliced the cones of his speaker cabinet, to accentuate the distortion. A groundbreaking song at the time and looked at as a precursor to metal.
This song and their other 1964 hit All Day and All of the Night, followed by 1965's Tired of Waiting For You, really cemented my love of The Kinks. Everything afterward was just gravy. 💘
That is not Page… I think you got the year wrong. Still love your channel!!!
Your insights have made me look at songs I’ve known for years & provided me with a wonderful different perspective.
Thank you…
Ray is the singer. They didn't need Jimmy page. Dave Davies is a beast who basically invented this sound himself. Everyone else was coming to him asking him how he did it.
"In his 1998 autobiographical release The Storyteller, Ray Davies discusses the guitar solo. He confirms that his brother Dave played the solo and it was preceded by some bantering between the two:
Halfway through the song it was time for Dave's guitar solo. This moment had to be right. So I shouted across the studio to Dave, give him encouragement. But I seemed to spoil his concentration. He looked at me with a dazed expression. 'Fuck off.' If you doubt me, if you doubt what I'm saying, I challenge you to listen to the original Kinks recording of 'You Really Got Me'. Halfway through the song, after the second chorus, before the guitar solo, there's a drum break. Boo ka, boo boo ka, boo ka, boo boo. And in the background you can hear 'fuck off'. You can, you can. When I did the vocal I tried to cover it up by going 'Oh no', but in the background you still hear it 'fuck off'. And it's even clearer on CD, it's really embarrassing."
It’s an old wives tale. Jimmy Page has nothing to do with this. The sound is the original distortion. Guitarist Dave Davies cut up the amp to achieve the sound.
YIKES! If Dave took his razor blade (which he did) to an amp, he'd be electrocuted. He razored the speaker cone- and indeed lived to tell about it. Peace.
Around the time this came out, Page didn't really belong to any group. He was a studio musician who backed any recording act that needed a spare guitar. His humble beginnings.
Hey Van! Check out their huge hit "Lola"!
It's about a guy who meets a girl, Lola, in a club who takes him home and rocks his world. The twist comes when we find out that Lola is a man. 🤦🏼♀️
Not 1978. This song came out in 1964. The Kinks were part of the first wave of The British Invasion, hot on the heels of The Beatles who had achieved international stardom earlier that year.
And Jimmy Page formed Zeppelin in 1968 so in '78 Zep was in their 10th year of superstardom.
1978 on the video must be the date of a re-release or compilation. It can be misleading. But there's a big change in Rock evolution between those years.
Also, in '64 Jimmy was a session player & it was rumored to be him on guitar in this song but that was later disproven.
The Kinks remained popular for a long time. You should check out "Lola", one of their biggest & most interesting(!) hits, from 1970.☮
Dave Davies stated in an interview in the British music magazine, "New Music Express (NME)", in 2014, that Jimmy Page DID NOT play lead guitar on "You Really Got Me",. Their record producer, Shel Talmy, stated in a 2014 interview in "The Guardian" newspaper, that Page DID play lead guitar on a few other songs, to allow Ray Davies to focus on his singing.
This song came out in 1964, more Kinks,. “Father Christmas”,.Lola,. All day and all of the night “Sunny Afternoon“,. A Well Respected Man,. And many more
This song came out in 1964 . Dave Davies is playing guitar . Van Halen did a cover of this song on their debut album , that came out in 1978.
If you listen closely you can hear British punk being born in the background :)
Dave Davies who is the guitar player for The Kinks and Ray's brother, said he invented the distorted sound and played guitar on this track. The Kinks producer, Shel Talmy said of Dave Davies. 'I don’t think he ever got the credit. His inventions of the solos and stuff, I mean, Jimmy Page did not play the solo on “You Really Got Me” which I’ve said about 5,000 times to people who insist that he did. The reason I used Jimmy on The Kinks stuff is because Ray didn’t really want to play guitar and sing at the same time. In fact, Jimmy was playing rhythm guitar.'
I believe it was Dave Davies and he took a razor blade to the amp
If you want a guitar distortion master. .Jack White is a genius at it
During the guitar solo played by the great Mr. Dave Davies ....brother Dave shouted at brother Ray ..."oh f*** off" which producer Shel Talmy had to cover up..Ray And Dave were known to mix it up to the point of fisticuffs. Also, drummer Mick Avory almost killed Dave Davies at a live performance when he threw a symbol at him , sliced his throat...and Dave Davies nearly bled out. The Kinks were banned (by the musicians unions) from the USA for four years from 1965 to 1969 for violence on stage, fighting with promoters and other problems during touring. You may have heard the Rolling Stones were the bad boys of Rock&Roll. That was management PR, they were middle class college kids. The Kinks were working class street kids from Muswell Hills North London.They were cockney to the core and would punch your lights out if you looked at them the wrong way.
COOL. You found the KINKS!
The core of The Kinks was & is the Davies brothers Ray & Dave Davies ~ it took bothe of them to make their sound work Ray wrote & sang the songs,but it was Dave Davies who developed that unique guitar style that gave their songs a distinct style
The Kinks Dave Davies has denied Jimmy Page played guitar on 'You Really Got Me'. Prior to forming Led Zeppelin, Page was a hugely popular session guitarist and often says he can't remember which records he played on. For many years he was thought to have added the famous fuzzy guitar line on The Kinks' 1964 single.
The fourth best Rock Group of all time.This is called "Garage Music."
Next from the Kinks, check out a little song called "Sunny Afternoon". Great tune...completely different vibe!
I 💗 "The Kinks." ✌💗🇬🇧
Kinks had that garage band sound.
First Hard Rock/Heavy Metal/Punk song ever.
This is 1964. It was Dave Davies playing guitar. It was a rumor that Jimmy Page played on this song.
1964! No it’s not Jimmy Page.
Love the Kinks. “Celluloid Heroes” is a great song of theirs. Someday, in your spare time, you can check out Linda Ronstadt 🌺🤷🏻♀️
No Van two in accuracies 1.That’s Dave Davies on lead and rythym as well as his older brother Ray singing lead vocals and playing rythym guitar. 2.The Kinks wrote and recorded this in 1964,not 1978. 1978 was Van Halen
No Jimmy Page. Van Halen did a cover of this 1964 "Kinks" song back in 1984 or 85, I think.
This is a great song. The "Fuzz" guitar sound used in this song, became the "Kinks" trademark sound, in their early days as a British Rock Band.
Van Halen released this on their debut album back in 1978. Both versions are 🔥🔥🔥
we had the best music in the 60's
Have a great day and take care, great tune
This is Dave Davies on the guitar. One of the most underrated guitarists of all time. Listen to 'A Rock N Roll Fantasy' on the album 'Misfits' and 'Mr. Big Man' on 'Sleepwalker' album. And there are many others.
Jimmy Page was never in the Kinks…🤔 Van Halen covered this…check that one out
I have the whole Led Zeppelin collection and I love them
He probably said 1978 because that is when Van Halen's cover version came out.
Oooooooh I LOVE The Kinks!!!!
Please do “better days” such a beautiful song.
Also anyone using “whilst” in a sentence gets extra credit today! ✨
FIRST THE SONG IS 🔥1963 reliz 1964 and JIMY PAGE was in the Studio butt no play and he was sesión music 🔥watching from Puerto Rico 🇵🇷 GOOD SHOW 👍Check out the ROLLING 👅STONES 📻🎶VIDEO 🌡DOOM AND BLOOM ✌🎩🎸🎼🎼🎼🎼🎼
This was a bit before Jimi Page. No this is original , he poked some holes in his amp speaker as he wanted a more "dirty sound". Used his Mum's knitting needle, they were hight tech back then.
Jimmy Page was a very popular session player at that time
Kinks 4 Ever!
Page is a very good plagiatarian guitar player. You have a Page Illusion as a Pagemaniac.🤗
☮️💜
The guitar sound is indeed distorted. One of the Davies Brothers cut slits into the speaker cones with a razor blade, in order to distort the sound coming out of the electric guitar.
jimmy page was a 17 year old session guitarist when this came out
They slit holes in their guitar amp speakers to create the distortion. At least that’s what I’ve heard and no jimmy page isn’t on any of there recordings.😊
They have some great songs
My older brother played this I was a toddler when I remember hearing it at first I was a baby 🍼 but I grew up to music with all my older siblings I was to young to know all their names lol but I was hopping to tunes in my crib lol
Check out Van Halen's cover of this song, but listen to it the way it was recorded "Eruption/You really got me". Van Halen's first album came out in '78. I've never heard ever that Jimmy Page played on this song, I think it's Ray Davies.
No it is NOT Jimmy! It is Dave Davis in 1964. He invented distortion! Page? My arse!!
It was possible. But even Page can't remember all the sessions he worked on. And back then, he sounded different, depending what the customer wanted. He did play on Tom Jones' "It's not Unusual." But Dave Davies was a great guitarist too, with a distinctive sound.
Van Halen did a great cover of this...worth checking out 💘
Kudos on the kinks!
It's not Jimmy Page on guitar it's David Davies , the are two brothers Ray and Dave Davies formed the Kinks with two others Mick Avary drums , Pete Quaiff bass , the guitar sound came when Dave got angry with his guitar and threw it at his amp and it tore a hole on one side and he found it gave it that edge when he played, every time he got a new one he had to carefully cut it on one side to get the same sound.
The Kinks have always sworn that Dave Davies plays this guitar alone with Ray Davies on rhythm guitar. If you want to hear Jimmy Page playing with Dave Davies and the Kinks listen to “I Gotta Move”.
ua-cam.com/video/rzG26LL2Ono/v-deo.html
The Kinks will tell you he plays on that track with Dave Davies, Ray’s brother, who is Kinks’ lead guitarist. Also check out Dave Davies guitar solos on “All Day and All of the Night” and “She’s Got Everything”. Great songs. Peace
Jimmy Page was a session guitarist back then... he did play on The Kinks' records as well as The Who. I believe he joined The Yardbirds in 1966 on bass... then moved up to guitar.
That "muggy" sound u r referring to is the bass guitar... it's the opening instrument on Led Zeppelin's 'Dazed & confused'...🔥
In 1978, Van Halen scored hit w/ a cover of the Kinks' 'You really got me'.
Hi Van! Jimmy Page wasn't in The Kinks. If you want to hear early Jimmy Page, listen to The Yardbirds, also part of the "British Invasion."
This song came out in 1964 when I was five years old. I was probably eight or nine years old the first time I heard it and have been listening to it ever since. The story about the guitar distortion, or fuzz, is that Dave Davies put a hole in the speaker of his amplifier to get that sound. Van, I would love to see your reaction to the song Lola by The Kinks, the studio version not the Live version.
You said this song was 1978. It’s 1964. The drummer on this is Mick Avory, not Jimmy Page
They made great music
The drummer on this and the other really early Kinks hits like "All Day and All of the Night" and "Tired of Waiting" was a session player named Bobby Graham. Mick was new to working in a recording studio so the producer, Shel Talmy left the drumming to a more experienced player and allowed Mick to play tambourine. But shortly after, he played drums on Kinks songs.
@@nudnick thx for the info. I was 14 in 64 and the Kinks were one of my favorites
@@j20tower You're very welcome. I'm jealous. I was only 1 in '64 and didn't formally become a fan until 1979.
Van Halen does a great job on this song!!! Check it out!🇺🇸
I may catch flack for this…😬🙄…but the Van Halen version is my favorite. It’s the first version I heard & I prefer it.
Van Halen's version is 1978.
I like kinks since 81
🙌
Jimmy Page did play on some earlier songs with the Kinks
Jimmy Page?? 🤔 nope! However Van Halen(not Jimmy Page either 😅🤭) has a great cover of this- 🤘🏼👍
1964
Jimmy Page played in 'The Yardbirds' in the mid sixties. Wherever you got the info that this came out in 1978 was wrong. 1964 was the year.
Page already had played on demos by The Rolling Stones and worked with Brian Jones, one of the band’s original members, on a film soundtrack. He’d also showcased his abilities on 12-string guitar with The Kinks and 6-string acoustic on a record with Nico, who was just starting out.0
Check out the the live version.
Dude, this song came out in *1964* where did you get '78 from?
look them up 1964 or 1965 to see them live.
Since you like Jimmy Page and Led Zeppelin so much you need to check out the Yardbirds.
Alright man... I just discovered your channel, and I've watched too many of these videos already. Love this content. I'm gonna hit you rapid fire with some videos I'll be pumped if you do any of them.
Teddy Swims - Can't make you love me
Jacob Banks - Unholy war or Monster
Tyler Childers - Feathered Indians or Whitehouse Road
Iration - Summer nights or lost and found
John Moreland - You don't care for me enough to cry
Rebelution - heart like a lion
Even if you don't do any videos... enjoy
The song was originally released as a single in 1964. Perhaps the copyright was repurchased in 1978.
Dave Davies was playing the lead guitar.
1964. The guitar player bought an amp and took a razorblade to the speaker cone to get this sound. Its not jimmy page lol! This was the basis for punk rock years later. Think the beatles... before The Doors... before Zep... we are talking Elvis era... and THIS!
No Van- NOT Jimmy. It is Ray's little brother Dave Davies who made the first advance on guitar tone since Les Paul (40s) and Bo Diddley and Duane Eddy in the 50s. Took a razor blade to his speaker cone and got that ragged edge- fuzz tone. We heard the Beatles in early 1964 and then the Stones, Kinks and The Who later in 64. Dave Davies was the one who created a wonderful life for Jimmy Page et al. because he wrested the spotlight OFF the sax and clarinet players who ruled the roost up til then. Then Chuck Berry and Jimi Hendrix completed the break by actually moving around... or duck- walking around. The only reason The Kinks aren't more famous is because so much of their music depends on humour- and humour does not travel well. Suggest 'A Gallon of Gas' from the "Low Budget" album: gives you Blues, Rock and humour in one package. Then the song "Low Budget" itself. Peace from Canada- be safe, you and yours.
This definitely is not Jimmy Page. The raw and aggressive riff and solo is all Dave Davies. Brother of Ray and lead guitar player of The KinKs. Distortion of his guitar was done by cutting the cone of his little green amplifier with a razor-blade and garage-rock was born!
1964? The inventors of Punk. No Jimmy Page here.
Listen to " the professor of rock" he has the history of this song and one of the greatest cover's too.
You gotta watch the video performance.
This was back in ‘67 or ‘68…not the late 70’s. 👍
The Yardbirds produced 3 of the best guitarist's ever, Jimmy Page ,Eric Clapton and Jeff Beck. Ya gotto too check out Jeff Beck - Wired
Van Halen did a remake in 1978 but this is definitely a 60's tune. ✌❤
The Van Halen version is from 1978.
Jimmy did play on some of the Kinks songs, but I do not remember including this song.
The very first use of feedback distortion was on the BEATLES< I FEEL FINE. Fuzz pedals were starting soon, but most distortion was achieved by cranking the amps to their max.
Dave Davies swears Page didn't play this one
This song is from 1964 not 1978
I'd like to suggest you react to some Living Colour. Vernon Reid is a guitar god!
Dave Davies stabbed his amp's speaker to get that sound.
No, no, no... that's Dave "Distortion" Davies who famously slashed his cheap amp, trying to get a "dirtier" sound. Classic 60s song, released in 1964. Not sure where 1978 came from... :-D
This was released in 1964, not 1978 and no, no Jimmy Page here. I was but 9 when this came out along with so many others, all part of The British Invasion (of music). ✌️
I know that I'm a little late to put in my comments. What is the page where you get your music info?
1964, not 78. The Kinks were really big in the 60s
You got to do LOLA
No It wasn't Jimmy Page, it was Dave Davies.
Try the Oingo Boingo cover.
