"the stuff I was writing was more radical" "Ray Davies... invented a new kind of poetry and a new kind of language for pop writing that influenced me from the very, very, very beginning. I think that Dave Davies is also very underestimated." -- Pete Townshend

Pete's right! Check out "Living On A Thin Line" from 30 years ago - written by Dave. In contrast to all Ray's British Empire nostalgia, Dave sings, "There is no England now." And Ray, who has partly produced most Kinks stuff since forever, backed him up handily. So they're both right, the sibling rivalry helps the music. I bet it can be hazardous to be in the vicinity, though!

Jeeze- my two historically favorite bands. I love Pete’s writing- nothing dull, predictable about it. But I kinda see Ray’ point. There’s different vibe to the Kinks. Neither group gets enough appreciation from the norms ( Pink Floyd, Rush, Queen, Beatles and Zeppelin fans)

When I was teenager, I loved the Kinks, I didn't know which one I liked most Ray or Dave.. Sometimes a bit confused, I thought oh my God , they are brothers! There is love there. Their songs like 'Days' and 'Lola' came at important times in my life. In Dublin everyone was singing 'Days' such a beautiful song and in a pub in London the whole pub was singing Lola. It was wonderful. I think The Kinks went above the Pop level in music, because I believe, it's innocence , it's poetry held onto the heart and spirit of young adults. Waterloo Sunset was the cream for me. I think the problem with Ray and Dave is they are both artists and poets who have given me and many others much joy and fun. The UK can be proud of them inspite of the nagging and the gnawing, there is something really peaceful about them.

They had the craziest "Brotherly" hate/love musician relationship. I keep hoping someday there will be a movie about them. It would be EPIC! btw.... First band I ever saw live, 1982.

Dave was the one who had the stroke. It happened in 2004 while he was exiting an elevator following a radio interview. In early January of that year, Ray was shot in the leg by a mugger while he a woman friend were strolling through the streets of New Orleans after Sunday dinner.

I love Dave Davies. I love Ray Davies writing.

I've listened to them my whole life without knowing who they were. I feel bad about that and embarrassed.. Because they are amazing ❤️

rockisheaven I also have viewed the mid 1960's interview Ray did on the very popular daytime talk show 'TheMike Douglas Show' and he seems to put himself down or never really answer questions. And Mike was a really sweet guy easy to talk to. I saw it as a form of being nervous not comfortable. Some genius artists don't have the best personality traits.

Ray has always been an introvert and on the shy side when not onstage. Dave has always been outgoing and a party guy even early on while Ray was doing the family thing. I've read that the song "Two Sisters" actually sums up some of their relationship. I believe that there's a bit of jealousy on both sides. Dave seems much more of a people person and doesn't have the shy, quiet thing. On the other hand, Ray was the main creative force behind the band. Ray took over all the main production duties when Shel Talmy left and frequently was the only songwriter on the albums.

I've been playing music with my twin brother, off and on, for 30 years. In bands, etc. There are certain barriers, niceties, considerations, manners and tact that you employ when you're NOT related to someone in a creative experience. It happens from time to time (the Wilson sisters, the Coen brothers come to mind) but you just say things and do things to siblings that you'd never say to someone you're not related to.

great shit

a chopped up interview. i'd love to see the unedited version!

it won't be the original line up because the dead one is Pete Quaife -bassist- he passed away this year June 22nd... Plus all the members involved who are left have other big/committed projects going on. Dave recently is promoting The Aschere Project with his son Russell (Cinnamon chasers) his second collaboration with him.

I like the KInks . They are brothers what do you expect after how the heck many years . any body working together for that long will get friction

THEY BOTH LOOK LIKE VAMPIRES.:SO ATTRACTIVE!! 🎼🎶🎵

Cool. In that video, they're driving a classic 60's Ford.

Mark Shearer that was a great interview

Great to see the guys together, the rivalry is bs, it's just Ray likes to take on the media side of things more.

i need the transcript for this lol

The Kinks was Ray Davies, then his brother, with backing band of various persons who came & went. If it hadn't been for the US in the 70s & 80s, this group would have fizzled out in the early 70s. Read Ray Davies by Johnny Rogan, a real eye opener

When you write the songs you get the lions share of the soundbites, Dave.

Bands made up of siblings, especially if they are white and British, tend to have a lot of violence in them.

The hate each other!

Pronounced “Davis”.

ray speaks like morrissey but only slightly less pretentious

Its just that Rays writing was heaps better

Ray Davies seems like a bit of an ego-maniac. He'll always remind us that they're 'his' songs and will often talk in the singular about himself when talking about The Kinks. Not great for morale.
