The Guitar Distortion Battle: Ray Davies Takes Credit For Daves Tone. THE KINKS DAVE DAVIES RESPONDS TO RAYS RECENT COMMENTS RELATING TO DAVES GREEN AMP SOUND - My brother is lying. I dont know why he does this but it was my Elpico amp that I bought and out of frustration I cut the speaker cone up with a razor blade and I was so shocked and surprised and excited that it worked that I demonstrated the sound to Ray and Pete. Pete didnt even like it and laughed and said it sounded like a dog barking. Ray liked the sound and he had written a riff on the piano which formed the basis of the song You Really Got Me and I played the riff on my guitar with MY new sound. I ALONE CREATED THIS SOUND. Ray wrote You Really Got Me and we used my guitar sound to embellish the song and riff. He never stuck a knitting needle or anything else in my amp. I wouldnt let anybody come near it. My amp was the ONLY amp we used to create this sound and I dont know why only in the past few years Ray has started changing the whole concept. I am just flabbergasted and shocked at the depth of his selfish desire to take credit for everything. I never once claimed songwriting royalties on You Really Got Me yet this song would not have happened without my guitar sound. - Dave Davies November 26, 2014
