The Kinks<\/strong>\u2019 Dave Davies<\/strong> is taking issue with <\/span>Guitar World<\/span><\/em> magazine after they <\/span>posted an article<\/strong><\/span><\/a> claiming rock producer Eddie Kramer<\/strong>\u00a0confirmed the long-held rumor\u00a0that Led Zeppelin<\/strong>\u2019s Jimmy Page<\/strong> played guitar on the band\u2019s hit \u201cYou Really Got Me.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cI met Jimmy while he was working with the Kinks in the early \u201960s when they were doing \u2018You Really Got Me,’\u201d he reportedly said. \u201cI know the Davies brothers will say otherwise, but I recall seeing Jimmy coming in and doing an overdub on that song. There\u2019s some contention about that, but that\u2019s how I remember it.\u201d<\/span>\u00a0<\/p>\n

Davies later\u00a0<\/span>took to social media<\/strong><\/span><\/a> to shoot down the suggestion, noting Kramer insists he never made those comments.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cI demand an immediate retraction from <\/span>@GuitarWorld<\/strong><\/span><\/a> and <\/span>@guitar<\/strong><\/span><\/a> I spoke to\u00a0<\/span>@EdKramerTweets<\/strong><\/span><\/a> yesterday and he denies ever saying that <\/span>@JimmyPage<\/strong><\/span><\/a> played on\u00a0<\/span>@theKinks<\/strong><\/span><\/a> YRGM,\u201d he wrote. \u201cI played all the guitar parts on YRGM Ed Kramer told me yesterday he was misquoted.<\/span>\u201d\ufeff<\/span><\/p>\n

He added<\/strong><\/span><\/a>, \u201cI\u2019m so tired of reporters getting it wrong.\u201d<\/span>\u00a0<\/p>\n

Rumors that Page appeared on the song have been circulating for years, but both Davies and Page himself have denied them.<\/span><\/p>\n

“You Really Got Me,” the third single The Kinks ever released, hit #1 in the U.K. It was the band\u2019s breakthrough hit in the U.S., peaking at #7 on the chart. It was covered by\u00a0Van Halen\u00a0<\/strong>on their 1978 self-titled debut.<\/p>\n
