David Davies Biography

David Davies is one of the most popular and richest Guitarist who was born on February 3, 1947 in Fortis Green, London, United Kingdom. David Russell Gordon Davies (born 3 February 1947) is a English musician, singer, and guitarist from England. He is the guitarist in charge in addition to backing (occasionally singing the lead) for the English rock group The Kinks, which also includes his sibling Sir Ray Davies.

Davies was a regular player on a range of different guitars throughout his career but the most well-known of them all can be the Gibson Flying V. Davies purchased it in the year 1965, and soon started performing live and in TV performances using it. Davies was among the few guitarists to play Flying Vs at the time. The instrument was, at the time of its release time, not available due to a lack of interest after the release of its 1958 test and models were assigned numbers. Guitarists such as Lonnie Mack Jimi Hendrix, Albert King and Davies himself sparked enthusiasm for the instrument, and it was to be one of the most coveted guitars during the time of heavy metal.

Davies was expelled from school at the age of 15 after being caught having sexual intercourse with his girlfriend, Sue Sheehan, on Hampstead Heath. Shortly thereafter, they were forced to separate by their respective families after Sheehan found out she was pregnant. Their relationship had a profound impact on Davies, who wrote a number of songs about their separation including “Funny Face”, “Suzannah’s Still Alive”, and “Mindless Child of Motherhood”. In 1967, Davies married Lisbet (a cousin of Pete Quaife’s first wife, Annette) and they divorced in 1990. From that marriage, Davies has four sons: Martin, Simon, Christian, and Russell. His three children Daniel, Lana, and Eddie are from a relationship with Nancy Evans. Dave briefly reunited with Sue Sheehan in the late 90s.

In July 1967, Dave Davies released his first solo single, credited entirely under his name, (although co-written by his brother) entitled “Death of a Clown”. In the past, as a member of the Kinks, Dave Davies had only released his own compositions on B-sides and as part of albums. The Kinks’ record label sensed potential sales in a solo release from the overlooked Davies and issued “Death of a Clown” as his debut. Although credited to Davies, it was technically a Kinks recording, as his backing band was the Kinks.

Davies was a child who played skiffle but he soon purchased an electric guitar, and began playing with rock. They Davies brothers and their pal Pete Quaife jammed together in the front room of their home. The activities of the Davies family revolved around the front room and culminated in huge parties which the parents were able to sing and play the piano together. The front room as well as these gatherings were musically nurturing for the Davies brothers, and later influenced the Kinks their renditions of the traditional British musical hall. Dave along with his twin brother worked on the well-known two-chord riff for their 1964 smash “You Really Got Me” at the piano in the front room.

“Death of a Clown” rose to number three on the UK Singles Chart. Wanting to profit from the new buzz suddenly surrounding Davies, a solo LP was slated for release sometime in 1968 or 1969. The follow-up single, “Susannah’s Still Alive”, was released in November 1967; however, it only reached number 20 on the Melody Maker chart. The release of the solo album was held back, and it was decided to wait and see how another single would fare. As anticipation grew for the release of the new LP, it was nicknamed A Hole in the Sock Of. “Lincoln County” was chosen as the next single, but it failed to chart. By the time a fourth single, “Hold My Hand”, met with the same result, a combination of his own lack of interest in continuing and Pye’s decision to stop killed off any hopes of an album.

In the latter half of the 1960s, the group was constantly evolving, when Ray’s songwriting talents developed and he took over the reins of this group into a fresh direction. The group decided to abandon the typical blues/R&B style and adopted more of a nostalgic, contemplative style as evident on songs like “Autumn Almanac” and “Waterloo Sunset” and along with their albums, like Something Else by the Kinks and The Village Green Preservation Society.

Davies created the Kinks along with Pete Quaife in 1963. The band’s brother Ray Davies, who later became the most famous band member and the de facto leader of the group, joined shortly afterward. The group was formed when the drummer Mick Avory joined. Dave Davies had a turbulent relationship with Avory and was among the reasons for his exile from the band in the late 1980s, despite the fact that they were living together since the mid-1960s.

The Kinks released three albums and several EPs in the next two years. They also performed and toured relentlessly, headlining package tours with the likes of The Yardbirds and The Mickey Finn, which caused tension within the band. Some legendary on-stage fights erupted during this time as well. The most notorious incident was at the Capitol Theatre in Cardiff in May 1965, involving drummer Mick Avory and Dave Davies. The fight broke out during the second number of the set, “Beautiful Delilah”. It culminated with Davies insulting Avory and kicking over his drum set after finishing the first song, “You Really Got Me”. Avory responded by knocking down Davies with his hi-hat stand, rendering him unconscious. He then fled from the scene and Davies was taken to Cardiff Royal Infirmary, where he received 16 stitches to the head. Avory later claimed that it was part of a new act in which the band members would hurl their instruments at each other.

After Arthur, the Kinks made a comeback with their hit single “Lola” and the accompanying concept album Lola versus Powerman and the Moneygoround, Part One in 1970. Dave recorded two songs of his own for this LP, the acoustic “Strangers” and the hard-rocking “Rats”. The rootsy Muswell Hillbillies, themed on country-rock and Americana, was released in late 1971 and was well-received with critics, but failed to sell strongly. The band’s next five albums, Everybody’s in Show-Biz, Preservation: Act 1, Preservation: Act 2, The Kinks Present A Soap Opera and Schoolboys in Disgrace, which added a large theatrical ensemble, were critical and commercial failures.

The Kinks left RCA Records in 1977, switching to Arista. The group shed all of the extra backing vocalists and brass instrumentalists that had accompanied them throughout their theatrical years, and reverted to a five-piece rock group again. Their debut LP for Arista was entitled Sleepwalker, and was a commercial and critical comeback for the group. It was the first album in what critics usually call the “arena rock” phase of the group, in which more commercial and mainstream production techniques would be employed. Dave later commented that he was glad to be back to more guitar-oriented songs, and he has listed Sleepwalker as one of his favourites.

The Kinks Are the Village Green Preservation Society and Arthur were released in 1968 and 1969, respectively. Although they received unanimous acclaim, Village Green failed to chart internationally, and Arthur was met with a mediocre commercial reception. These records, although praised by critics and the rock press, were commercial failures.

Davies saw the band through both success and failure, as they reached their commercial peak in the early 1980s. The group began adjusting their commercial methods, embracing the MTV culture that was selling records at the time. The music video for their 1982/83 single “Come Dancing” helped hoist the record to number 12 on the UK chart, and number 6 in the US — their biggest hit since “Tired of Waiting for You” in 1965.

Stephen Thomas Erlewine of Allmusic.com later commented that the album “represented an artistic dead end for the Kinks, as Ray Davies continued to crank out a series of competent, but undistinguished hard rockers.” Dave Davies contributed two songs to Think Visual, “Rock ‘n’ Roll Cities” and “When You were a Child”.
