Dave Davies has reiterated that it wasn't an argument between Ray Davies and him that led to the guitar tone on "You Really Got Me."

The Kinks member mentioned a passage in Rich Cohen's new book, The Sun & the Moon & the Rolling Stones, which hinted at Keith Richards' guitar tone on "I Can't Get No Satisfaction" sounding like the Kinks' "You Really Got Me," which was also mentioned in Slate.

"As I have stated in interviews and print since 1964," Dave writes, "I was alone at home in the front room of 6 Denmark Terrace in Muswell Hill North London when I got angry because I was upset about being separated from my girlfriend.

I slashed the speaker cone with a razor blade IN A FIT OF RAGE. Ray was not with me. I was alone in my ANGER. IT had nothing to do with a fight with my brother."

Dave also previously accused his brother Ray of spreading the lie that in his musical Sunny Afternoon.

"My brother is lying. . . . I am just flabbergasted and shocked at the depth of his selfish desire to take credit for everything.

I never once claimed songwriting royalties on 'You Really Got Me,' yet this song would not have happened without my guitar sound."

Dave is now requesting an "immediate revision" in the passage of Cohen's book and the Slate article.
