Last month, Ray Davies told the UK's Daily Mail that the original members of the Kinks would reunite after nearly 40 years. Davies' brother, Dave, suffered a stroke in 2004, but the lead singer insisted the group would play together again. "I think Dave's getting better and Mick's still playing," he said. "It would be great to get back together just to see what musical ideas we had and what would happen."
However, Dave Davies feels differently, to say the least. "It would be like a poor remake of 'Night of the Living Dead,'" Dave said of the reunion in a November post on his website. "Ray has been doing Karaoke Kinks shows since 1996."
Davies further encouraged sibling rivalry when challenged Ray's songwriting skills. "I wrote a song called 'Where Pigs Fly,' Ray wrote ten songs out of it," Dave wrote. "One of them was 'Hatred,' one was 'Lola' and the other eight were 'You Really Got Me.'"
