Little did he know he was creating the 1st heavy metal guitar tone and riff in rock n roll, which he played on his band The Kinks' worldwide hit 'You Really Got Me.' Nearly fifty years after influencing generations of guitarists Dave continues to rock and tour. His 2013 return to the U.S. to support the album I Will Be Me was a triumph both creatively and spiritually as he found new inspiration for his soon to be follow up album, the highly acclaimed, Rippin Up Time. Released in 2014, Dave embarked on yet another U.S. tour to support it. He was joined by Jonathan Lea on guitar, Tom Currier on bass and keyboards and legendary drummer Dennis Diken of the Smithereens. The tour swept through venues in Milwaukee, Chicago, New Jersey, NYC and many more. Jim Sclavunos played drums for one gig in Bethlehem, PA. On every date Dave Davies and band played a highly charged set of solo album favorites, Kinks classics and new tracks. At the City Winery NYC on November 24 and 25, 2014 Dave and band put on an amazing concert to an audience of new and longtime Kinks fans, music industry stars and legends.

The pioneering rock guitarist singlehandedly changed rock-n-roll when he sliced his little green Elpico amp speaker with a razor blade, creating the first heavy metal guitar tone and riff.

Fans often wondered why Dave seemed to have taken break from songwriting for much of the ‘70s, but the assumption was inaccurate. Years prior to the issue of Dave’s first “proper” solo album, 1980’s AFL1-3603, Dave was working on the fascinating tracks that make up this new compilation. The tapes were unearthed by his sons Simon and Martin from “under beds, in attics, in storage”, and properly mixed and mastered in a way that lets these songs shimmer and shine even brighter than they did at inception. Any album recorded over the span of 10 years runs the risk of ending up wildly erratic in tone and style, and yet, Dave’s \u003ci\u003eDecade\u003c\/i\u003e is surprisingly cohesive, the songs working together beautifully as songs on great albums do. \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Red River Entertainment","offers":[{"title":"LP","offer_id":50471730086219,"sku":"1043814","price":22.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"CD","offer_id":50471731167563,"sku":"1043815","price":14.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0867\/1120\/6219\/files\/fe0bea11-0c73-4422-b9f8-be9b06d7f9f6_thumbnail_4096.jpg?v=1727411274"},{"product_id":"rock-bottom-live-at-the-bottom-line-20th-anniversary-remastered","title":"Rock Bottom: Live at the Bottom Line (20th Anniversary Remastered)","description":"\u003cp\u003eDave Davies live and on fire at New York's Bottom Line in 1997, playing all the classics from The Kinks and more!
