You Really Got Me - Kinks

[infinitsadness2]

the beginning of OVERDRIVE in guitars

[BonScottAC]

1:11 the only black guy and his the cook, now the most popular black guy on TV is the president.

[Hedwyn]

I love this song, but the quality of the sound is awful...

[dawnrun911]

What do you expect? digital quality?. It was recorded in 1964.

[blutocampbell]

I love Mick Avory's drumming.

[ShredR8]

No, Van Halens version is better.

[mattyvizzle]

who is that lead hes fuckin ugly

[JohnnyCat77]

Ray Davies --- he had the gap in his teeth closed, and he ended up looking like a Rock and Roll front man. Just do a "Ray Davies" google search, and you'll pictures old and young and then you can be a batter judge of his appearance.

[MichaelLark]

Great! Dig the crazy dude in the chef's hat dancing!

[tomtom255]

I'll take mine spin-kick free please

[lafleursucks]

I prefer Van Halen's version, but this is still the original

[taniaelmer]

they really got me

[wallyworld]

This is great! Love it.

[GR3GtheGR8T]

no fuck u

[GR3GtheGR8T]

van halen has a much better version of this song

is it me or does he (the singer) look high or something?

[14xabi]

oh fcuk off

[foreverWHOfan]

its the 60s..everyone was. lol pfft the Kinks did this song WAY better than van halen could ever have...any ways..if you like this kinks song, you might/probably will like All Day and All of the Night..i just so happend to have made a video using pictures of the Kinks and that song..so could you guys check it out..just click on my name foreverWHOfan to go to my channel and youll find it

[BADDassBASSist]

heh i think van halen is better then the kinks and thier version was alot better eddie van halen was a kick ass guitarist.

[foreverWHOfan]

pfft....maybe hes a good guitarist but you cant get the same feeling from listening to van halens version. the kinks were the original band to do this song, and they were done at 2 different decades...the KINKS version is sooooooooo much better

[Hovmod]

Thats so fucking correct. The Kinks version kills Van Halens version!

[drakebell1990]

fuck you

[PoidHater]

you think Van Halen's was better? Faggot.

[BADDassBASSist]

i'm suprised that you a seven year old kid has the frikin audacity to put down a highchooler, and you don't have to put down people because they like certin bands it shows how immature you seven year olds are.

[PoidHater]

Dude, I fucking passed high school already, and I'd beat the shit out of your little faggoty square ass. Learn to spell retard.

[bloodlust1000]

ive been a fan of the kinks since my dad showed me some videos

[avivo007]

most of the young people don't know the kinks, but this song knows everybody

[dominique777]

YES!

[Modpimp]

[HayleanneD]

[flprfl]

Van Hallen is Amazing

[OriginalMasters]

This song fucking rules...it had to be amazing when it hit.

[glabrezzu]

no... van halen cover is not so bad!

[stickmanpig]

great live video from one of the best 60s bands,thanks

[revelation100]

In my favourite top ten songs.

[babycxinha]

great band but i preffer doors and jimi hendrix.

[PRINCIPALBROKER]

This song invented hard rock, thanks Ray, Dave, Mick and Pete. This song was voted best song of the 60's by the British people, surprising many Beatle fans. It didn't surprise me. This and all of their songs still sound fresh.

[Oulumor]

LOVE THE KINKS

[pierson13]

the van halen cover pisses me off

[Alkob]

My father still listens to this famous riff.And i am sure that my grand-children will definitely like this music...

[singingtrees]

One of the best songs EVER!!

[Stezzer]

Who's the cool cat in the shades?? Dance babeeee

[linus7106]

talking about dictators here, you fucked-up fuckers? Kinks weren't allowed to play the US during the whole 60s.

[Kevinshmevin]

They copied the Beatles style.

[borfra]

Shame on you!! The Kinks ARE The KINKS

[PRINCIPALBROKER]

George Harrison never learned how to play barre chords for a long time and never did know how to play rock 'n roll and I loved the Beatles too,but they were pop, not rock.

[mikescircus]

Come on. And the Beatles copied Buddy Holly, Elvis Presely, and Little Richard!

[Kinksforever]

dont compare the beatles to the kinks u cant do that the beatles are pop songs tralala boy band the kinks invented Hardrock heavy metal whit thisd power chord so fuck off you faggot.

[qbaseball2393]

beatles created alternative rock, but the kinks created grungy rock, moreso hardcore like what you were saying. both revolutionized the rock world.

[sharkey4123]

helter skelter isnt exactly a pop song is it? Just how much of the beatles have you listened to?

I suggest you look at the white album.

[TomMinderson]

(reply) Helter Skelter was following a new trend at the time. The Beatles couldn't get credit for that style.

[sharkey4123]

Sorry, i wasn't meaning they invented it, it was a reply to someone that said the beatles were just pop, and helter skelter wasn't pop when it was made, but there are still a variety of other songs i could have chosen.

[sapphiretaurus]

@Kinksforever They weren't pop, you idiot.

[johnplinehan]

@sapphiretaurus of course they were eejit

[jahwired]

Yeah I thought of that one, lazur. But I didn't know if he used barre chords for that. I also wonder if Chuck Berry didn't use them in some of his songs.

But overall, I'd still say that was the one of the first times they were used as the engine for a rock or power-pop song.

[freddymachine]

a pattern for all modern "garage-bands" Wonderful !

[jahwired]

I wonder if this was the first use of a power chord based riff (along with All Day And All Of The Night), in a a popular song

[lazur1]

That award would more likely go to Link Ray's "Rumble". Although it was a Blues-Rock instumental, it was still a pop hit.

[PRINCIPALBROKER]

Yes, it was. I'm 56 and I've bought every Kinks' record or CD since. Have you heard "I Need You"? If not, check it out-it's in the same vein with great feedback. Glad you love this song too. Stan

[Chucknorrisgay]

This is such an original sound. I love this band. I usually don't like 60-70's music, (Besides Black Sabbath and AC/DC) but this song kicks ass! Thanks for uploading!

[borfra]

The Basic Of Rock Muzik !!!!

[heyjudy]

extremely cool. They were soooo wunnerful.

[McKinleyMorganfield]

That guitar was considered "heavy" when this song came out. I love the kinks

[thesonicreducers]

underated? The Kinks arent underated! this song got to no 1 for christ's sake... The Pretty Things now THERES an underated band

[Raksujakke]

That's really impressive crack between his teeth.

[floydfanTN]

Ther form Britan What do you espect :Rolleyes:

[landprojet]

my heroes

[bebemolina]

they really got me!!

[redflora]

Definitely the most underratted of the 60s

[DippyHippy]

HAHAHA the guy in the chefs outfit doing the twist

[blinkdiogo]

my god.. this is grunge music!!!!

[sleights]

an amazing song!

[Tazz77]

They were so cool they even got the chef rockin'.

[starsinmybeard]

Jimmy Page did not play at all on this particular Kinks song. In fact it is rumoured that he actually heard the solo by Dave and laughed at it!!

[citizenkane3]

They were all so good-looking :)

<3 Kinks.

[lhcarter]

YES, i ALWAYS THOUGHT THEY WERE REALLY GOOD LOOKING, AND I'M FROM BACK IN THE 60'S

[DeepFill86]

The first TRUE HARD ROCK song. Still have the 45 on PYE records. This record is the reason I picked up guitar. Ray and Dave - good on ya and THANKS!!

[RVGramillano]

I saw these guys in concert 5 times i think.. my memory is kind of fadeing but you know what they saw "If you remember the 60's you werent there."

[foreverWHOfan]

they dance funny, not any offense to anyone who danced like that in the 60's :)

[whirlyfan]

great song great band rock on

[soltisimba]

Not a missing tooth, just a gap. But, this is great stuff. I did grow up in the 60's and sure, racism was there, but all up for grabs in that decade: sex, drugs, rock and roll, feminism, the peace movement, racial equality. It all happened in about 5-7 years. What a ride it was. Today's kids are unaware of history and their place in it and hence, they don't go to the streets to protest the Iraq War like we did the Vietnam War.

[ChrisEdwards2004]

Yes they do. There were 2 million on the streets of London on Feb 15th 2003 and even more in Spain and Italy.

[soltisimba]

Well, I was talking about the USA, where ignorance if rampant. Hell, look at the immoral, lamebrained war we are in now. Wait, it's not a war, it was an invasion of a sovereign country under false pretense. Hardly a peep out of most of the American public who only worry if the value of their house is diving.

[ChrisEdwards2004]

I recall that there wer 100,000 demonstrating in NYC on the same date plus other demonstrations around the country.

[lhcarter]

This parroting of "invasion of a sovereign country" really gets me, it was not a sovereign country. It was a DICTATORSHIP. Was Germany a sovereign country under Hitler???

[soltisimba]

Yes, it was and is a sovereign country and if Saddam invaded Kuwait, he was invading a sovereign country. And yes, Germany was a sovereign country under Hitler. Or are you implying Saddam is like Hitler who HAD to be stopped? Give me a break, Mr. Rightwinger who "loves his country". A great bumper sticker ignoramous's had in the 1960's was "America -- Love it or Leave it." Dopes.

[kultkoyote]

one of me topten airguitarsolo's to twang & genuflect down on onekneecap....rumored that jimmy page influenced the righteous guitarriff that changed rockmuzikforever

[JohnnyBama]

One of the all time tunes...is he missing a tooth ;)

[chuckkeefe1969]

dave is one of absolute top ten songwriter in the history of so-called rock and roll.long live the kinks.

[KingdomHeartsRules]

I love this song! Thats also in the movie, Doogal (The Magic Roundabout)

[foreverWHOfan]

Kinks, YOU REALLY GOT ME with this song!!

[aghnifrid]

do you think fans from today's popsters will be talking the way we are tallking here? the chords,the riffs,etc.?

[PC3900]

This is indeed the birth of the powerchord - it is derived from the earlier "Louie Louie" riff of the Kingsmen, but takes it into a new level of intensity and drive. And, please notice, Jimmy Page is nowhere to be seen.

[grimreeferx09]

sometimes, i wish i lived in the 60's.....then i remember the ubiquitous racism

[futbolt]

wicked

[luizalessa]

very good!

Kinks rules!

[GlebShes]

very cool

[peneric]

Is this the birth of the "RIFF"? Can somebody point me toward some earlier purely power-chord music.

[lordkoos]

Check out The Sonics...

[oOKaleidoscopeEyesOo]

RAD!!!!! xD

*is confused by the dancing chef*

[skyrazer16]

LMAO at the black dude dancing in the chef uniform...

[KodachromeKiss]

Hahaha. Yea, first thing I noticed in that audience.

[Grapewin]

<3 the kinks!

[Guillem67]

Hay alguien mejor que los Kinks?

[Beatlemaniagirl]

Los Beatles

[scrumpywumpy]

its really cool to see all this old footage

[finalfantasynerd11]

Kinks are great
