  • metallica is fucking awesome but the kinks are the kinks, metallica is metallica

  • METALLICA are THE BEATLES of metal.

  • @MrEricksardinas Fuck you Mother Black Sabbath are the Little richcard of Metal

    Metallica And The Beatles aren´t the fathers of rock and metal

  • Jason Newsted must have watched this on YouTube and cried with laughter but the £50m he's reportedly worth must be able to buy enough change of underwear.

    Ray Davies is good though!

  • Van Halen's is the best version hands down.

  • Saw Ray Davies last night at House of Blues and he still remains unbowed. Rock n.

  • Faster doesnt mean better... ruined -.-

  • @ITuNesPk True

  • Leave it to Metallica to drool out their self-indulging over-distorted crap-metal on a good musicians worst work. Well done!

  • This is a brilliant version of two great Kink songs. The original Kinks versions are the best, liten to the live Dve Davies album for two stunning versions of the songs, Van Halens version is great, but this version of You Really Got Me with its creator and the mighty Metallica is far superior to Van Halens, who are now just a band who haven't got it anymore and have yet to come up with anything better than their debut over 30 years ago.

  • @purpledave100 That's because it was one of the best albums ever, and 1984 gave it a run for its money.

  • estan buenas las canciones pero no me gusta la filmacion

  • that works

  • Van Halen owns Slash and two hit wonder Metallica

  • I think you have to take this all with a grain of salt, It's not meant for any other reason other then to have a bit of fun and mix styles up a bit.

    I dont think they would ever try to pass it off as their own stuff or make a tour of it. People really do need to stop taking this stuff so seriously.

  • @Bryan62601 I agree that 1st of all this song was made for real rockers and Metallica isn't rock in any way. It is simply thrash. i'm not really a fan of Metallica. I HATE JAMES HETFEILDS VOICE!!! But that doesn't mean that Metallica isn't a very successful band. I think they are absolutly amazing. Metallica should cover heavier stuff, not 60's or 70's stuff because they make a great song too heavy.

  • i like the van halen version better!

  • rokanroll man !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • de la PTM

  • EVERY ONE BUY THE LULU ALBUM EVEN IF U DNT LIKE IT BUY IT SO METALLICA CAN MAKE MORE ALBUMS!!!!!!! SPREAD IT AROUND

  • Metallica, get out! And go sing your sandman song to some other place! This song was made for real Rockers like Van Halen

  • @Bryan62601 Pardon me sir, I must call bullshit.

  • @Bryan62601 Screw you, man. Not real rockers??? That comment just shows that you are ignorant and have no idea what the hell you're talking about -__-

  • @Bryan62601 dude thats bullshit

    your father should use a condom

  • fucking awesome !!!

  • Why all the Van Halen haters? I personally think Van Halen did a great job on all the covers they did.

  • I rather an album by RAY DAVIES & METALLICA than LOU REED & METALLICA

  • @petugalo maybe they find lou to be more adventurous and lou [did] create metal machine music.........check out 'i heard her call my name' by his band vu to hear heavy metal in '68............metalheads dissing lou is so sad and speaks poorly of metal culture....people should welcome the wrongest things in 2011....it is the bussiness of the future to take risks.

  • really? a dessert island? like an island made of dessert?

  • Stranded on a dessert island with...... give me a good chick and fuck the music.

  • These songs are way better as garage, but I gotta appreciate a heavy band like Metallica giving Davies this kind of respect.

  • That's why they are great....

    LONG LIVE THE KINKS AND METALLICA

  • AND ALL OF THE NIGHT_TIME!

  • Van Halen cover is the best ever done of this song... hands down...

  • To consider the matchup: Metallica with Ray Davies...I would have thought: THIS, is gonna suck, except for the fact that it DOESN'T! Ray goes toe-to-toe with Metallica! Oh-yeah, he's not 'unfamiliarized' with hard rock, AND heavy metal! Ray Davies INVENTED entire chunks of heavy metal! He's no stranger in a strange land.

  • evh is a very good guitarist but the band had very few good songs....some of thier best stuff was the covers they did

  • it a mixture of my two favourite genres

  • Oh yeeeeeaaaaaah! James' favorite line :D

  • at least it ent van halen who did the worst cover ever

    

  • metallica do what they fuckin want.... im the best MetallicA fan ever but this i dont like it.... but i respect them caus they are my life since 25 fuckin years but it rocks anyway... , cause in life you cant do what you fuckin want to... theres no limits.

  • @nigletgook

    you have no taste in music if you don't like this

  • piel de gallina

  • Van Halen=Good, Metallica/Ray Davies=Awesome, The Kinks=The fucking best!!!

  • @rockmetallover13 Yeah you really got me, but i really got no idea why so many people think they have to compare bands or artists. It´s in my opinion a shame to degrade Van Halen, Metallica or anybody else. Every songwriter, musician and performer earns respect for his work because they invest a lot of time and money for their songs. I do not want to offend you or any other guys who compare, cos the music is being loved by you, but keep in mind what the true music is about. thanks a lot! Tobi

  • hate lars' drumming on this: bum-da-bum-da-bum-da, soulless

  • Ray Davies!!! is unbelievable!! WOW Amazing!

  • fantastico;)

  • ssssssssss mamalon otro pinche pedo0 esta bien verga !

  • @bonkersjupiter what the hell is wrong with being conservative? 80% of musicians are pretty liberal so i think its ok if a few are conservative.

  • lars and ray davies have the same barber

    

  • Needed way more double bass.

    Oh wait... Lars can't play double bass anymore.

  • @TheWitchOvAgnesi ololol ur so funniez 4 jumpin into teh bandwagon

    I saw them live last February and Lars didn't miss a f*cking beat.

  • @silveroon009 Of course he didn't, because they don't play challenging music any more.

    I used to be the biggest fan. Then I got bored.

    So no bandwagon here. I make my own choices.

  • @TheWitchOvAgnesi They played both Battery and Blackened. So yeah.

  • @silveroon009 Well apparently you're not a drummer. The double bass in both of those songs is the simplest kind of double bass to pull off. Besides, those songs are how old now?

    Whatever. Keep idolizing a band that keeps churning out un-inventive songs, and can continue to do so only because of their fan base.

    If a new band put out the same song, they'd be passed over in a heartbeat. And you know it.

  • @TheWitchOvAgnesi On the contrary, I believe if Death Magnetic was put out by any new band instead of "almighty Metallica" (with the excessively high expectations it conveys) it would have been valued a lot more. Same goes for Load/ReLoad. The fact that they're "METALLICA TEH TRHASH IDOLZ" is what fucks em up most of the time. People need to get over the fact that they're not a pose, but 4 dudes making music THEY feel like making.

  • When The Kinks were putting this stuff out, NOBODY sounded like that! It was so far over the top as to be unimaginable, scared the crap out of people... The Kinks were even BANNED in the USA!. Dave Davies INVENTED hard rock guitar... it was a paradigm shift in music. When Hetfield said "We got schooled", he MEANT it.

  • i guess this was considered as a good song some 40+ years ago?

  • @MsVittuperkele Oh God... you can´t say that  haha

  • I love how he misses the first line

  • This is fuckin' beast!! I wish I could've been there!

  • The Kinks Rules!

    

  • In my opinion VanHalen's version is the best.

  • @ajaxrules1975 I have to agree with you, the kinks version is Kick Ass but Van Halens got more Guts

  • that would have to be an honor no matter who you are . Playing Kinks with Ray Davies ? ! something you wont forget

  • the kinks fuckin rule....just listen arthur,village green preservation cociety and lola versus powerman and the money go round...fuckin amazing

  • KINKLICA!!! yeah, sounds too wrong

  • @theAceMod1979

    Thats exactly what I'm saying popularity of music in no way reflects quality...I'd rather listen to the kinks other commercially successfull bands..

  • KINKTALLICA

  • huckenbush nie ruszaj ku....!!!! :P

  • best best best

  • Wonderful! Simply incredible and wonderful!

  • Comment removed

  • @arridon wow you sound like a kid there no question about it.

  • @MrPUNK3D looks we have a kid in the classroom

  • @miguelisdistructive wow man not you aswell ....

  • After listening to this tragedy I can only say that the world really seems to be running backwards (and not only) in term of songwriting and musical progress. So long to my faith in sounds and fantaisies.

  • metallica suck balls, they really suck balls

  • @arridon you suck balls buddy

  • @ThibodeauS7 only your mum's

  • @arridon is that all you got? those jokes are like 5 years old and only the fags use them nowadays.

  • @arridon look kid. Everyone has their kind of music, thats their right to have it, so if you want to troll on something as awesome as Metallica/Ray Davie go join the 8 ppl who obviously love Justin Beiber and have a massive gangbang with them and quite clearly suck their balls off.

  • @MrPUNK3D "look kid" he says - ha, if you're not some fresh faced no nothing green day hair gel underpant showing late teen early twenty something plastic mosher, i'll suck my own balls off mate.

  • @arridon I hate people who find every single way or running a way from the shit they've caused by calling other people around them kids. We can all see your the kid here not anyone else.

  • I'm the kind of guy who prefers the original versions of songs best but van halens version of this song is still the best

  • 6 of these people doesn't have ears! 

  • @NicolFuckOff666 that joke is old...its just TO OLD

  • would you rather be stranded on a dessert island with a Kinks album or a Van Halen album? Kinks every time. Village green preservation society is a master piece.

  • @brynisgreat

    no hard decision for those two.

    but if i had to choose i would take the White Album, simply because there are about 20 genres in 30 songs.

    and i love everyone of them (except for you know what song).

  • @brynisgreat LOVE Low Budget!

    D~

  • @brynisgreat Van Halen. VH I, II and 1984 are amazing.

    But why is this question being asked? I get that VH covered this, but such a question is completely irrelevant.

  • @nilesrules666 Van Halen blows. None of there music is good and they are EXTREMELY OVER RATED.

  • aaaaaaaaaaaaaanddddddddsent directly to facebook

  • too fast

  • @LyriiczBoii did you ever hear the battlefield vietnam version? which was actually a live version... the live versions of this song are always faster

  • What the fuck...

  • What the fuck does people complain about?

    Metallica plays together with who ever they want. I guess they like the songs and like the band The Kinks and for them its an honor to play ith Ray Davies whenether you like it or not.

  • Wow. This sucks. And I love Metallica. This is so lame. Flame me all you want, but I way prefer Van Halen's version to this.

  • i prefer the almighty van halen cover sounds more heavy....

  • wow tnx m8 for this share :)

    this is awsome

  • rays voice is insane still awesome

  • I think that Van Halen do it better than Metallica - who don't play it well at all. I haven't been much into Metallica since 1990 - where did the amazing grooves of the 'Justice' and 'Garage Days' go? I also prefer VH over The Kinks, but that's probably only due to my (bad) taste.

  • I guess this isn't metal, nor it is punk. It's just an old guy trying to earn a buck...with a little help from a richest band in the world. Metallica sold out, haven,t you heard? It's POP people!

  • @Kiniazh wtf are you going on about mate... metallica are one of my favourite bands but ray davies and the kinks were so influential in terms of music rock history.

  • @historiadorderock uhh, Learn your info correctly, the didn't invent either genre, or even help pioneer it. Queue Black Sabbath, Judas Priest, etc.

  • @Masterscotts1 are you saying that those bands came before the Kinks? YRGM was the first groundbreaking song to use distrortion for a hard rock sound in 1964, years before Sabbath and those guys

  • thats great!

  • This is a discrace...abomination...metal­lica are not the legend i know anymore

  • @absenthimental Yeah, now they are even better.

  • @absenthimental they are not legends... they are GODS AMONG MEN.

  • VanHalen's version is the best cover of this song.

  • Hail to the Kink, baby!!

  • I LOVE METALLICA

  • The Metallikinks ^^

  • @Benny14071995 don't you mean kinktallica??? baaahahaha

  • @Benny14071995 The Metalinks!

  • What a great combo this is. Ray Davies and Hetfield are both real showmen and musically they go together really well too, as this video proves. Breathing new life into some classic British tunes from four and a half decades ago. Amazing stuff.

  • I love this! Metallica and Ray Davies! Man, fantastic. Ray Davies sounds like old times even! Great vid.

  • Bizzare combo

  • so funny!!

  • Can you believe thess songs are 46 years old and still stand up as they do? I remember folding newspapers at 3am with the other paperboys when "You Really Got Me" premiered on Chicago's WLS and all 20 of us stopped rubber-banding the Indianapolis Star to hear every second of a song that seemed alien and superior to what all the other "R & R bands" were doing. This WAS Rock 'n Roll and suddenly every other band became am anemic "pop band" , especially after All Day and All of The Night. Checkmate

  • anyone know what he says at like 3:11? to the crowd,something like "still my recor for it" or smthing

  • @jneglia Ray always teased the crowd usually before "Lola" by strumming the first chord and then saying "you're still not ready for it" which only made the crowd more playful. Ray can read an audience better than any performer I've ever seen and no matter how many times he says "you're still not ready for it", those "oldies" like me still get a chuckle out of it as I've heard that statement at least 50 times over and we still willingly play along. He's a unique blend of British entertainers.

  • @PRINCIPALBROKERawesome,thanks man i areciate the reply

  • @jneglia He says "still not ready for it", as in the crowd didn't respond vigoursly enough, so they aren't ready for the song... it's a joke, a tease...  he has thrown that in regularly over the years, you can hear it on One For The Road too for instance

  • I got a video that only have metallica and ray davies,playing all day and all of the night,it's the first day I think...but you are saying thatthis is from the second day

  • I had to log in just to give my two cents. Ray fucking Davies, amazing! Two of my favorite bands!

  • all to fast

  • Useless tambourine <3

  • Eddie Van Halen is a joke next to Ray Davies. Anyone that says otherwise obviously hasn't got a musical bone in their body. I'd love to see Van Halen write a song as beautiful as waterloo sunset. It just wouldn't happen

  • Ray is cool as fuck!!!

  • Fuck Van Halen.

  • i like van halens cover better

  • Wow, nice guitar sound there, reminds me of the 80's.

  • yeah, the kinks actually sounded like this in the 80s.

  • sounds like ozzy

  • It would have been cool to see van halen & ray davies doing this..But still heavy & awesome

  • It would be awesome Van Halen & Metallica!

  • No is Van HaLen The is The KInkS

  • haha and at last, he looks like he wants to go and even lars huggs him but he's like: Fuck You I Just Wanna Go! haha ROFL

  • his voice sound's weak, although it rocks!!

  • davies isnt sounding too good in this version(IMO) but I love his vocals on the original.

  • i wonder if metallica and ray davis will make "you really got me" into a single with ray on vocal and metallica on guitar bass and drums^^

  • @furrysega7 that would be awesome if they did

  • @furrysega7 You're a modern day Nostradamus mate, they just made a single for this song!!!!!

  • impresionante

  • Why they didn´t show that on TV! weird censorship.... I understand that Ray Davies stole the show but so what. This kind of censorship is unacceptable!

  • THE KINKS RULE

  • wow i cant believe they didnt show "You really got me" on TV! That sucks!

  • @TheNextHendrix1994

    Their version is awesome bt I happen to like them both on the same level.

  • dream on dude, the kinks version was like death metal in 64, while vh was just the average metal sound of it's days.

  • The Kinks > everyone else

  • The Kinks = Van Halen = Metallica

  • this is absolutely fantastic......

  • damn........ everything sounds better w/ METALLICA!

  • @jtger75 damn right! !

  • @jtger75 metallica played short parts of black magic or raining blood, and of course this songs not sound better.

  • I thought this was the best part of the Metallica set. These songs are so upbeat and in your face.  They rock!

  • HBO is an absolute DISGRACE! I just finished watching the HBO concert, and they only showed Ray performing All Day And All Of The Night and did not show You Really Got Me. ABSOLUTELY DISGRACEFUL not to mention DISRESPECTFUL in my opinion.

  • wtf is ur problem

  • not to mention they cut out parts of iron man and paranoid

  • @guyzsly I didn't see the show but I agree with your comment.. those two songs are probably my least fave Kinks songs..

    Bring on Autumn Almanac, Harry Rag, Death Of A Clown, Waterloo Sunset etc.
