All Day And All Of The Night

I remember seeing him live a few months ago. The whole show was very good, but this was the highlight for me. Before he played the song, he told a little story.

"Back when we were first starting up, we recorded a demo and sent it to all the record labels in London... and no one picked us up. One guy, he wrote us back saying that the guitar "sounded like a dog." Can you believe that? He said my brother's guitar sounded like a dog.

Well, I've never seen a dog like that... but he certainly had a loud bark..."

It was so cool...

the chord progression and construction of the song is very interesting to me.

This is a classic, so ahead of it's time.

wicked song :]

i agree with TabuuDi26

it is a really good love song and it is a cool song

i dedicate this to my boyfriend, its such a cool "love song" without sounding mushy and silly

Dave Davies and his brother Ray are masterful musicians. Too bad they're not as fondly remembered as the Beatles and the Stones are.

"I believe that you and me last forever" are good words but in reality....???

From an interview in the Guardian:

Nevertheless, he would be interested in collaborating with a contemporary artist and when talk turns to Ed Sheeran and his recent copyright lawsuit (“Did he settle?”), it reminds him of a similar to-do he had with the Doors in the 60s when they borrowed the opening riff for Hello, I Love You from the Kinks’ All Day and All of the Night, for which they had to pay Davies royalties.

He eventually met Jim Morrison when the Doors came to London’s Roundhouse in 1968 and reminded the light-fingered Lizard King of his “playful plagiarism”.

“He owned up,” Davies reports gleefully. “He said: ‘You really got me.’”
