The Kinks were the most British, British Invasion band. They documented British class differences in post-war UK. Eh: Dead End Street, Waterloo Sunset, Sunny Afternoon. Somehow they are under appreciated, maybe because they were barred from the US in crucial touring years in late 60's. God save the Kinks !!

@@jonpatterson7211 The Kinks were not allowed to play in the USA for - I think about 4.5 years. 1965 -1969 basically. The reason was never officially/adequately explained. The musicians union said The Kinks were constantly/too often late for their gigs and were also fighting/yelling/screaming at each other during their gigs. One major fight was with drummer Mick Avory throwing his cymbal at Dave Davies during a show - mind you I've read differing accounts so I don't actually know anything. The Kinks were so poorly managed that my guess is that it was a money thing and their management probably stiffed some of the upper level record execs and that brought about some sort of backlash - whatever the real reason - no Kinks in the USA.

Not just your HO, but MHO also. I label them proto-punk. Also, IMHO they gave influence to what became acid or psychedelic rock Jefferson Airplane (and others)says. And a definite hard rock/metal influence so says Van Halen (and others) Progenitors of distortion and 3 chord songs. Brian May said they planted the seeds that became riff-based rock. Even Jerry Lee Lewis said they single handedly changed rock-n-roll to rock. I personally think they are/were the biggest influence on everything within the rock genre and pretty much shaped the music from there on.

The TV show is Shindig. They had all the bands on and live. On transistor radio at this time were the Beatles, Rolling Stones, Beach Boys, Four Seasons and Motown. Songs of that era primarily were written with young girls in mind. They bought the vast majority of 45's and LPs. Then these guys come along and the first time I heard them I thought holy shit, they're playing stuff with young guys in mind like me. Then I saw them and they were as unruly as I imagined. The Kinks wrote iconic songs that we could play ourselves and feel good about.

Great analysis Fil. One of their most underrated songs is "I'm Not Like Everybody Else", which was released as the B-side of "Sunny Afternoon" in '66 . There are many live videos of the song, but the best live version (from their '94 UK tour, and included on the '96 "To the Bone" CD) sadly was not filmed. A shortened version of the song was included in an episode of "The Sopranos".

Hello Fil, Hello Wingers. Fil mentions "playing with you thumb over the top." This is difficult. Even if you don't play find a guitar (any 6 string) roll your thumb over the top and try and move your fingers accurately, it is hard. I feel playing guitar bends your fingers and hands (something like braces on teeth) I have only minimal finger spread between pointer finger and middle finger. I am hoping that simply practicing creates finger spread (surgery is out) It sure looks like a lot of fun playing that electric guitar. I am holding out on acoustic as long as I can as I figure if I pick up the electric (an experience how much easier it is to play) I lose interest in the acoustic. I love playing my acoustic guitars but my hands hurt because of it. Oh analysis request. "Stop Your Sobbing" either by "The Kinks" or "The Pretenders" I give a link to "The Pretenders" cover (I know the analysis request line is pretty long.)

My personal Kinks favourites are "Waterloo Sunset" (I grew up in London and I have seen the crowds of people teeming over the Thames bridges to get from the City to catch their trains to suburbia. Such vivid pictures portrayed in song), "Days" ( those harmonies), " The Village Green Preservation Society" (so very English), "Lola" ( years ahead of it's time!). Stay safe and well!

Hi, Dan. I was thinking just the opposite about electric vs acoustic. Having started with electric, I'm becoming interested in getting an acoustic guitar in the future. There are a lot of great songs I want to play that don't translate so well to playing electric. My guitar teacher also tells me to put my thumb over the top for certain chords. I've got small hands and it is very difficult. Barre chords are really tough because I don't have long fingers that I can slide up and down to find the sweet spot.

I have total respect for any musician that can play any instrument and sing. My own meager talents were nothing to brag about but my father, who was a WWll vet played the steel guitar in a western swing band and was quite good. My father played in the band in the years preceding the second war. He ordered a new 1937, or 38 double neck Rickenbacker lap steel and amp. The amp was thrown away about 25 yrs ago but I still have his Rickenbacker in its original case with picks and slide. I only wish I had kept my pre CBS sunburst Fender Percission that I bought new. Both he and my older brother could play their perspective instruments and sing very well at the same time. My hat is off to anyone with the God given talent, or dedication to achieve that level.

Actually this song "ALL DAY AND ALL OF THE NIGHT" by the "KINKS" was the beginning of Heavy Metal Chords and so was "I CAN'T GET NO SATISFACTION" By The "ROLLING STONES" And both Songs came out at about the same Time! 🎸🎹🥁

Gotta love the Links , Brother Fil!! I always say that the greatest songwriters in rock were Lennon/McCartney , Ray Davies, Elvis Costello.... When playing this tune one MUST yell "Oh No" like Ray did!! Was he thinking Brother Dave was gonna throw him down some stairs?! Ha. Dave bought one of the original Flying V like his contemporary piers Albert King + Lonnie Mack. I heard a simulcast many years ago of the Links live + it was great! Ray kept teasing the audience between tunes with a couple bars on Acoustic of Lola. He'd stop + say " I'm not going to do it"!. Fil, the place would go bonkers!!! Thanks Bro, once again you are "The Man"!!! Hip Hip Hooray for our excellent host!!! P. S. Got any Traffic on your mind? Steve's solo on Empty Pages is a prize winner! Thanks Fil! Dave

Thank you Fil! I love your knowledge and joy of music. You’re a great teacher. I’m curious. If you could be a member of any 1960s British band which one would it be? (I have a feeling you’d say all of them.) Take care. 👍🏻

Quite simply the Kinks were first band to sound bad ass heavy metal - specifically via the RIFF. Kinks 1st 2 hits made Link Wray's epic riff song Rumble arguably the FIRST bad ass riff song sound like the 1910 Fruitgum Company (not really but..) I was 11 or 12 ridin' my bike to get Kinks singles when all my friends were playing with their Army Guys. The thing about the Kinks 45s on Reprise was they were DIRTY sounding right off the vinyl from first play like somebody pre-sliced and popped the f'er up just to make it even nastier. Pre loaded hiss and pop - it's why the first digital Kinks on CD sound like crap with not much Bass - they were a MESS. Best mess I ever heard besides my beloved Beatles as a kid. I got the Kinks sound at age 12 from plugging in my really cheap bad japanese guitar into a Wollensak tape recorder that was tube powered and had a monitor out button so you could use it as a little amp - not a GUITAR amp but after Beatles came out the parents weren't going to stop me from abusing this grown up device. Man it sounded filthy just like Dave - thru the little 6 x 9 oval - until I BLEW that and thankfully could plug in an external stereo speaker into "spkr out" jack. As a 12 year old rocker ya gotta do what ya gotta do!!! 💥 🎤

Another Great Video. I Always loved tge Kinks Great band great Tunes. Your breakdowns are always interesting, informative and spot on. I would love to see you Analyze The Band of Gypsies Machine Gun. It's often regarded as the Tune in which Jimi plays his Baddest Solo. It's life changing.

From a Washington Post interview with Dave Davies (jan. 21, 2021) Q: Dave, do you still have that little green amp? A: We looked high and low. Don’t know what happened to it. Q: Tell people who aren't in the club what that little green amp is. A: One day, what year was it, 1963? I saw this little green amp, like two doors down from where we lived. And it was only 10 quid and I paid for it, expecting something amazing to happen when I played. But I had an argument with my girlfriend that day, and I was in a fit of rage and thought this amp didn’t sound right. So I got a razor blade. I slashed the cone speaker, and not really knowing what I was doing at the time, didn’t expect it to even work. But I plugged it in and played and it sounded like a dog barking, and I loved it. We all grew to really love it and wrote this unusual kind of almost jazzy riff on the piano, which became “You Really Got Me,” and I started blasting it out through my little green amp. It seemed like everybody hated it when we were doing it, but when the record became No. 1, everyone said: “Told you so.”

I think the hollow body guitar and the difference between pickups compared to the Strat makes a lot of difference? I played a 335 and other hollow bodies for years and it was easy to make them thing ring with no distortion but the right volume sustaining the notes. I have to look again and see if I can tell what amps they were using. My buddy I mentioned before makes big jumps all the time without looking. I asked how do you do it without missing? He said, Oh, I miss sometimes, we just call it JAZZ lol.

If you listen to Dave Davies a decade later, round 1977-78 he became much better playing live performances. If you listen to the Kinks One for the road album you can definitely hear how much better he got. Plus the guitars and The equipment with technology also helped. In my opinion, He’s one of the top 10 best guitarist I’ve heard in my lifetime.

How for the love of God did you figure out that solo? Your are sick. It's been a dark mystery for me for years. The most insanely beautiful lead guitar solo of the sixties.

What!? It's not called a "fuzz-box" anymore? Who turned out the lights? Anyways, that lead reminds me of the E.C. lead in the Yard Birds single of that year ( forget the tune's name) but E. C. Would not use distortion yet.

Dave said outright that he cut the speaker cone with a razor blade. Edit: With that said we still don't know the truth. Dave was refuting Ray's earlier claims and we all know how much they hate each other. Dave could simply be making something up to discredit Ray or vice versa. So... it remains the stuff of rock legend. PS: Another rock legend is that Jimi Hendrix offered to buy the amp.(It was a cheap valco that Dave bought from a pawnshop across the street from the recording studio)

Better investigate who really played guitar in the studio for the iconic Kinks hits. They hired session pros like Jimmy Page, who undoubtedly brought his own distortion pedal....

I remember Link Wray telling about punching holes in the speakers of his amp to achieve the “Fuzz-type” of sound. It can be heard at numbers as “Rumble”.

You have such an incredible, comprehensive understanding of music, it's always a joy to watch your analysis of a performer, many I'd have thought far outside your scope of interest (spoiler alert; there doesn't seem to be such a place), so, my proposal, have you considered doing similar analysis of some of the truly great music of movies throughout the decades? Could be interesting
