Saw the Kinks live 37 times over the years. (I worked for a ticketing agency.) The greatest! Agree with other posters they should get together in the studio! They never got the full credit they deserve for their music and how it influenced rock-n-roll. Love ya, Ray and Dave!

Never saw the Kinks together, but have seen both of the Davies brothers solo acts. Schoolboys in Disgrace is my all time favorite album. Please reunite fellas!!!

Let’s all put our differences aside and make some real money…..enough of this “LOW BUDGET” crap…..do it once more for me!!!!!Ray,Dave, Mick and Pete…thats the only way it willever be the original “KINKS”. Like they said before….”Do It Again”…..

If the guys don’t tour at least make a album its easier to make albums than make tours. If they are not in good order do you want them to lip sync . I am for a concert but if the guys are not able to do it physical why make noise instead of music. Ray and the rest can put down their tracks like the Beatles did for the WHite album they record their parts and a George Martin type will blend it together.

Saw the Kinks 29 times and it just aint enough. New music(?) sucks. Ray didn’t write songs, he wrote anthems. Dave invented hard rock. Best night ever was in AC when we were in 2nd row and Ray let us sing a line from “Low Budget” and then said “you sing good!”

A Kinks reunion would be larger than life, something i always dreamed of!

Saw Davies and his band last night at Orpheum in Boston. Much better energy than last time around, very good riffs, and reached deep into the Kinks catalgue for some gems in a show that lasted over 2 1/2 hours with a brief 15 minute intermission. Funny note, someone chucked a beer onstage early in the show and it spashed about 3 feet from Davies. His reaction? Started singing a few lines from “Demon Alcohol”. He takes it all in stride.

I saw the Kinks perform four times in Philadelphia and own all their music. I think they are one of the top bands that ever played, but sadly to say, if they got back together and toured, they would never be able to capture the magic of years past ,and in no way will their music compare in quality to the songs of yesterday.

Man, the Davies brothers should just bury the hatchet and do another tour, with Mick Avory on drums and Pete Quaife, if his health, allows, on bass. I would love to see a full-blown Kinks reunion. If Quaife can’t do it, get the guy who played with them in the 1980s, or the one one in the early 1970s, but you have to have AT LEAST Dave, Ray and Mick in the lineup, for sure.

I’m not sure how well Dave can play or sing after the stroke. Ray’s recent solo stuff has been forgettable, I guess- ’cause I forgot it. The Kinks were one of the top 5 greatest bands of all time. They should get together and jam, Dave can write another “Where Pigs Fly”- maybe the rest can get a whole album out of it. The hour is getting late, boys. Music or no music- be nice. Before it’s too late.

Waterloo Sunset is one of the best songs ever, even if Charlie Watts wrote it.

If Dave doesn’t want to do it, so be it. Clearly, there is no Kinks without both Ray and Dave. But if they have any doubts, there are millions of us out here who “got” the Kinks. We could live with the music we’ve got, but if the rest of us geezers could see them live one more time…

Saw Kinks in Illinois ‘66 great show-a riot broke out after the show.
what is this about Ringo wrote John’s songs???

What??? I guess I’ve really been out of the loop for too long. Brutaltimes writes Ringo wrote John’s songs. What??

Ray is one of the best songwriters ever… Love the Kinks !!!!!

I love “KINKS” too, baby!

I Love the Kinks! Have all their albums except Great Lost Kinks Album because “it’s lost on Reprise”. They were great in their day. I just wish Ray and Dave could see fit to releasing all the stuff languishing in the vaults at Konk Studios, films and music. What’s the point of archiving material that will never see the light of day. As we loyal Kinks fans always say “Long Live The Kinks!”

Judging by the way Dave Davies looked and sounded at the UK hall Of Fame, I highly doubt he can still throw down well enough to make it through a reunion gig….

It’s getting tough to watch these rock icons get older.. when they’re gone all we’ll have left is crap……… Rock is Dead

Please just do it! I’ll chip in $10.

Come on, you ol’ crank. Let’s go out and play some tunes!

Wow! the Davies brothers being bitchy! These two ought to do a reality show together. NOT!

Some things are best left, remembered and replayed[on disc] as they were.

no wonder i’m afraid to leave my apartment!

dave is correct, and that’s not all - ringo wrote john’s songs.

before the days of think video
how can youtop muswell hillbilly’s and the two [preservations

Cleavland opry 1975

at this stage, they really should both lighten up and try getting along.

I saw Ray’s “Storytellers” thing and I saw Dave Davies a few years back (before the stroke) live. Both were great - but I have to agree with Dave that a reunion at this late date would be more painful than anything- it really is time to move on. Sometimes you just cant go home again.

Wow, Dave sounds like he’s a right contrary old git. Pop a viagra and reclaim the rock’n roll dude!

Kinks 1980 in Chicago, one of the greatest shows I’ve ever seen. Get back together guys!
