Former Kinks guitarist Dave Davies has again poured cold water on any chance of a reunion with his brother Ray, telling the Daily Telegraph he still ‘can’t stand to be with him’ after decades of infamous sibling rivalry between the pair.
“How could I not love my own brother? I just can’t stand to be with him,” he said when asked about a possible reunion. “About an hour with Ray’s my limit, so it would be a very short reunion.”
Later, Davies also spoke of his original run with The Kinks, and admitted the turbulent times suffered throughout their career is still something he tries not to dwell on.
“I try not to think about those days,” he continued. “When I hear it on the radio, I get excited, until you think about the way things really were – the bad contracts, the arguments, beating people up, getting beaten up, all the shit. But, in the end, hopefully, it will only be the music that is left.”
