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.

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.

I often bump into Dave in North London... Always has time for a chat . Such a nice man and a real gentleman .... Top Man.👍

Dave's guitar work on Sleepwalker is some if the best ever rock guitar phrasing. Most overlooked rock guitarist.

My favourite band since a very long time. Dave always seems very relaxed and cheerfull. The Davies brothers are so talented. Love The Kinks

I love Dave. Death of a Clown is one of the most beautiful yet haunting songs ever

C'mon lads-get that last hurrah together and announce a final tour-please!!!!

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 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?

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.

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 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.

Dave always seems like a friendly humble guy who enjoys talking about his life and music.

i'm off to seek out his autobiography and i'm thrilled to see him looking healthy.

The Kinks have so many great songs. Definitely one of my favorite bands growing up.

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!"

Dave is one of the best people i know. Such a great guy.

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

Ray is an amazing writer, but Dave has some gems in there as well!

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.

Dave you are an awesome person!

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.

Love it! Humility, humor, self-aware. Congrats to the interviewer!

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.

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!

My favorite band of all time🎶 🌹 🇬🇧 👌 Thank you Dave for this interview 🇺🇸 I saw the kinks 4 times In koncert😎 1974,79,80,89 ❤

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.

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.

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.😍

So sad seeing and hearing a legend struggling with age. Sucks getting old!!

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.

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!

I am so absolutely happy to see Dave here. Music the fabric of my childhood. Love the brothers Davies.

saw dave dave’s in hartford ct a few years ago . great to hear him live in a smaller venue.

I always like to see Dave do interviews, such a lovely man.

The Kinks is a great band , music had me dancing.

What an amazing man. Long live the kinks!

Terrific interview. Thanks so much. I've been a Kinks fan for all 60 of their years. I need to get his book.

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 🌎....✌️🎵🎸🎤🎹🎷🎺

Great humble musician with such a rich insight into his life and career. Let your lovely guitar speak the rest, Dave... Rock on, forever.

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.☮🎸

One really fantastic band.

Love Dave Davies! He is an absolute legend & a really nice guy. Bless him & long may he reign.

Love to you Dave … looking and sounding so good … I was ( so proudly ) there @ Pye 2 …. Alan O’Duffy

That was so uplifting thank you both 😊

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.

Great man, great band.

Love the Kinks. In my top 5 classic rock groups. I even love Apeman!!

While other kids were carrying around Beatle records, I had the Kinks and Village Preservation!

I love the Kinks Journey Vol. 1. It’s a great concept and well done!

Great guy and guitarist!

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.

Read that book. A great read.

Kinks Forever!

I goddamn LOVE THE KINKS!!!! Davies show MAJOR class in this interview, especially when the interviewer ( maybe unintentionally) insults him about the Beatles .

Ray and Dave Davies the best songwriters of all time.

This is a really, really great interview!

I salute Dave Davis, especially for his guitar melody on ‘waterloo Sunset’, absolutely sublime and timeless, completely captures the mood of the song.

Arthur is their pinnacle of craftsmanship. That is one great album.

What a treat! Hello 🤗 Dave. Love the Kinks. 🎸🥁❤💂🇬🇧✨🎶🇺🇲

Who doesn’t love the Kinks! But that’s NOTHING compared to the interviewers haircut…the true star of this video

Dave looks great! Wow interested in checking out the remixes.

Dave’s guitar intro into Celluliod Heroes from one for the road is still my favorites of all time

Hi Dave, I used to catch sight of you n bro RD in Cherry Tree Wood.

Love them

Sir Ray Davies my celluloid hero👍

"Dead End Street" was the first '45 I bought as a kid in the '60's!

i saw the kinks, what a great band. dave really blew me away with the many styles he played across the playlist!

God Save the Kinks ~!!!!!

Great interview

GOD BLESS THE KINKS! - GOD BLESS THE 60s BRITISH WAVE! ...... - m.

A total hero to me

There’s a KZfaq 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 you Dave ❤

Wow, Dave looks great!

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. 🖖😎

Love me some Kinks… Something Else, Arthur, Preservation Act II, Soap Opera, Schoolboys. And the Kronikles, too!

Dave is so sweet.

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 ?

They dont spawn them like these Kinks guys anymore!Humble as fuck!Dave STILL got itXxx👌🎸🎼🎹🎤

Your voice is smooth and pleasant - toupee not necessary man

"Imagination is more important than knowledge" Albert Einstein.

YAY!!! Get him in the Telly more all you TV decision makers. Where can we perspex clothes?

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".

good ole dave davies is in his 70s ffs!!

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?

I love Ray, but to me, it is ALL about Dave and the guitar. He is to me the most underrated guitar legends ever.

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.

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.

Dyslexia was hidden.. Music is fun so it makes things much better

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.

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.

Is that Danny Bonaducci?
