yup..its true, this song is probably the catalyst of heavy metal..can feel the "kick" right in it there..this song is heavy alright..maybe it just need to loose the fancy clothing & replace it with leather, stud & jeans.
@uhump The only recent examples I can think of that even come close to this kind of music would be The Hives, The White Stripes/Jack White, Jet or Queens of the Stoneage.
(only using the most mainstream examples that would be known everywhere)
Does anyone know where this copy of the clip originated from? as it looks like this one originated from 2" quad video tape, wheras the ones the BBC have broadcast are kinescopes.
This looks like a vhs copy of the original master, as i cannot see anything that would make this a kinescope.
A few things: 1) Green Day are a one-trick pony. They have two great songs, and have not evolved one bit since Dookie. I Walk Alone is sophomoric and boring. 2) Van Halen copied the Kinks, not the other way around. 3) Van Halen is just one of a few thousand or so bands who have copied the Kinks.
@drbecker1967 are you kidding? they wrote a rock opera! for better or worse, Green Day has massively chagned their style since their beginning. I personally like them, but that's because I'm a sucker for extended song cycles that tell a story. Same reason I like the Who and the Kinks tbh
Hi, we are a band that are heavily influenced by the kinks! If you could please spare 2 seconds to listen to a band that are still trying to play real music then check us out at our channel.
Namaste. This IS the template. How many of us would go bananas when this song would play on the juke box? Countless! Timeless. Van what? LOL. Namaste.
We're an independent label trying to make it in this game and the best way to do that is by being more known on youtube.One of the ways we stand out is we help unsigned artists get more fans by uploading their songs for a new fan base
You can change our future with one simple click.
Please thumbs up so other people can see this and check out our channel and comment with feedback if you like,also if you think we could improve.

I just uploaded my orchestral arrangement of this song to my channel. I replaced the distorted rhythm guitar power chords with buzzing cellos, which I think worked quite well. If you like this song, I'd love to know what you think of my version. Head over to my channel to check it out. Cheers.
on december 24 we have to listen to as many good classic rock vids as possible. Even if you don't have time just click on a couple and refresh the page. This way when kids go on youtube on Christmas morning they'll discover the best present ever... REAL MUSIC.
We must destroy this modern crap. The time to strike is now!
well, sortof..its proto-metal. The kinks turned their amps up to overload levels to make themselves heard above the screaming fans that they attracted in the wake of the Beatles initial impact.
They and other bands (like the who and yardbirds) did the same thing...discovered the sound was pleasing..it gave power and dynamics..devices were manufactured to artificially distort the sound even more..and this set the route to proper metal by the end of the decade.
Anyone in the music industry will tell you the golden era was the 60's.The legacy was so rich it filtered into the70's, and 80's.Then we were blessed with only the ocassional gem. In any month of the 60's or 70's, hall of famers dominated the charts in succession, selling millions of records in weeks. The well was so deep, theres nothing left. Feel free to use this in class, kids, I guarantee you'll get an A
@dieegotexeneize i thought the nigger just wanted to wear a chefs hat. aint it wonderful how music can bring us all together. UP THE IRONS FROM LOUISIANA
Kinks - Your really are the Kings. I´m a big fan of the rock music from the 60s. My hobby is to rediscover all of those great bands that didn´t "broke through". And of course - The Kinks are not one of them because they were famous all over the world. But listen to The Music Machine (Talk,talk), The Golliwogs (tell me) and THE ZETTLERS (Skinnie Minnie and Beautiful Delilah). Not bad at all. Specially The zettlers - what a bloody f------g driving beat.
Dammitt its 2011 and I still love this song so much. I have a pop/punk band named Hey You and even though we are a little bit of a different style then this, they have still had a major influence in our music. Thanks Guys and if any of youtube peeps would like check out our music video we would really appreciate any input:)
@luke666808g You think it's funny to talk about lynching a negro? You are one evil-hearted cocksucker. You are a disgrace to the white race...Jerkoff!!!
@luke666808g "Joke'' my ass! There is nothing funny about what we did to the black men back then. My best friend was a colored guy who was lynched because a white female asked him "what time it was''?, and a group of rednecks beat him to death when SHE approached him!
