ADD QUOTES-
Pete Quaife: I was a bass player and I was supposed to know my place.
-
Dave Davies: On my 50th birthday, I was up in London, and Ray threw a surprise party for me. It was really nice of him to do that. So I went up to him and grabbed hold of him and kissed him on the cheek and his body just stiffened as if I were going to try to eat him or something.
-
Dave Davies: I think the problem the Kinks have had is that the music always has been so diverse. I think sometimes it's hurt us commercially. There'll be 12 or 15 songs on an album and they'll all be different, all have identities of their own. I think that's confused a lot of record companies. People find it hard to pigeonhole the Kinks.
