“This next one threw us through a loop at first,” Hetfield
said before bringing out Ray Davies. “Then we got schooled in
early riff rock.” With that, Kirk Hammett played the infamous
opening chords to “You Really Got Me.” Davies took it from
there, and judging by the screams and the amount of people
dancing in the aisles, this was one of the most electrifying
moments of the night.

Rock’s Hall of Famers Mix It Up

"Before Mr. Davies had Metallica backing him for the
Kinks’ riff-rocking “You Really Got Me” and “All Day and
All of the Night,” Mr. Hetfield said, “We got schooled on
early, early riff-rock,” as if he had just met Neanderthal
Man."

Night at the Rock Museum: Second Concert of the
Rock 'n' Roll Hall of Fame
"Nevertheless, the concert did offer the
awe-inspiring spectacle of seeing rock 'n' roll's museum
waxworks come to life for a series of sometimes incongruous,
sometimes inspired duets. A ranking of our favorites follows.
1. Metallica/Ray Davies — “You Really Got Me,”
“All Day And All of the Night”
On a night with this many legends, would anyone have expected
Ray Davies to deliver the knockout performance? Well, he did.
Partly it was the primal power of those early Kinks singles, and
partly it was the band, which attacked the riffs with a ferocity
that belied their years. Davies himself is a sly, underrated
performer who knows exactly how to live the moment, and he
whooped and hollered and got the crowd to lustily sing along."

| “We got completely schooled on early,
early riff rock by this man and his band, the Kinks,” Hetfield
says, introducing “one of the original punks,” Ray Davies.
Enter powerful renditions of “You Really Got Me” and “All
Day and All of the Night.”

| "De metalband nodigde ook nog voormalig
Kinks-zanger Ray Davies op het podium uit om met hem de
Kinks-nummers 'You Really Got Me' en 'All Day and All of the
Night'' te spelen."

| finally a spry Ray Davies — who seemed really attuned to the
audience — joined the rockers for rousing versions of “You
Really Got Me” and “All Day and All of the Night " LINK |
