Gugny Posted May 29, 2018 Posted May 29, 2018 Wow, cool story (his life; not his death). My son uses fuzz quite a bit (Electro-Harmonix Big Muff) for guitar and bass. I'll have to share this link with him. Thanks for posting!

There is a documentary out there which is the history of the Fuzz. Have you seen it? I checked out Youtube which has several but the one I am familiar with wasn't there. I have a copy of it somewhere but not sure where.
KD in CA Posted May 29, 2018 Posted May 29, 2018 Good riddance. Now, when the inventor of the Shaved box or Brazilian box dies, it'll be cause for mourning.

Great show, my music friends and I are waiting in anticipation for his next US tour. The oddest thing about that show was, he announced they were going to play David Watts. I thought to myself, of all the Davies compositions, why that one. It was one of the best. Being live makes a whole lot a difference for some songs.

He is a great storyteller. The Kinks in thier prime were crazy onstage. And great records. however, the brothers are too far apart to even eat a meal together much less tour. anymore. Buffalo Kinks story: Their first appearance at Klienhans music hall was nuts. They blew the roof off. We knew the bar manager, and saw him a few days after the gig. He said well the Kinks effed it up for everybody. He said at the time drinks were comped for musicians. Their pre show tab was $600. And management flipped and ended that. Actually $600 even back then seemed reasonable for a British rock band. lol
