Bloody good bands

Re: The Kinks were a bloody good band

They were indeed a very good band Sludge. I love the music from this era, even though i was only born in 1964. From my early days as a seaman i was introduced to all the great music of this era from the older hands. To this day my favourite all time band are the Moody Blues, i have been binging on the latter lately.

I think the Kinks , like the Beatles , had lots of different sounds

There is a reason why a lot of bands from any era are not praised , its because they could only play a few songs

Re: The Kinks were a bloody good band

Page was a session guitarist for lots of bands at the time

Dave Davies has said Page wrote the riff

Maybe to piss off his brother ? but he's said it

My sources are clearly on drugs , like Jimmy

There's a 'riff ' of conspiracy going on ere

Re: The Kinks were a bloody good band

An urban myth apparently Sludge. Even Page himself denied he played that riff.

It appears it was Mr Moody

Re: The Kinks were a bloody good band

The Kinks went on to stadium rock in the 80s and 90s in the U.S.of A.
Albums such as Low Budget ,Give the people what they want and my favourite
State of Confusion charted in America but goot n0 aiir play in America,
This is the last ever single To the bone 1994.Ray Davies reckoned he was going to call it 12inches and black.

The B side is also worth checking out.

You sir are a treasure. Sadly, following the recent death of Graeme Edge, the band are unlikely to perform as the Moodies ever again. Still, a Justin Hayward solo concert is well worth going to even if his fantastic voice is not quite what it once was.

Re: The Kinks were a bloody good band

I don't recall seeing many shows at St David's Hall. Siouxsie & The Banshees. Nico/John Cooper Clarke are the only ones I remember.

Re: The Kinks were a bloody good band

A good band, but a bit boring and dreary after a while. I'd rather Small Faces.

Have you listened to any Kinks albums?
