But then there is something very punk about You Really Got Me's genesis: its novel distorted guitar sound was achieved by taking a razor blade to Dave Davies' amplifier. Characteristically, he and his brother Ray cannot agree on whose idea this was.
Some believe that Jimmy Page played the guitar solo here, but both he and Dave Davies deny this.
