Dave Davies Doesn't Rule Out Kinks Reunion
. Drummer Avory and the Davies brothers are the only original Kinks remaining, following the death of bassist Pete Quaife last year. In the interview, Dave also talked about the legendary British band's early days and his revolutionary guitar sound. "Next door to the studio there was a radio spares shop and they had this little amp and speaker combo, a green Elpico in the window," he said. "I plugged the Elpico into the inputs of my AC30 using the Elpico as a sort of pre-amp and it sounded great but I still wasn't satisfied. The speaker was in an open frame and I took a razor blade and slashed the speaker cone and now it gave me a distorted and jagged sound I started using that in the live shows that I performed with the band and that was the sound we used on 'You Really Got Me.' That sound was really important to us as it opened the door for many other forms and allowed us to experiment more." more on this story Gibson.com is an official news provider for the Day in Rock.
