Video footage of RAY DAVIES discussing his collaboration with METALLICA on a re-recording of THE KINKS classic 'You Really Got Me', for his new album, See My Friends, can be viewed here.
About the cover, Metallica explained recently:
"About a year ago, we had the honor of playing with Ray Davies at the Rock And Roll Hall Of Fame 25th Anniversary concert in New York. I was the first time we had ever met Ray and was definitely one of the highlights of our night. Fast forward a few months to the tuning room before the show in Oslo on April 14 and there we were recording with Ray!!! How cool is that?Turns out that Ray has been planning to put out a record of collaborations on classic Kinks songs with a wide variety of today's musicians and low and behold we were actually asked to be included in this stellar group spanning many genres and styles. The result is coming to your favorite place to purchase music around the world on November 1st. Titled See My Friends, our version of 'You Really Got Me' appears on disc, or in bits and bites, along side of Ray with BRUCE SPRINGSTEEN, JON BON JOVI AND RICHIE SAMBORA, LUCINDA WILLIAMS, JACKSON BROWNE, ALEX CHILTON, SPOON, FRANK BLACK, BILLY CORGAN and many others."
