METALLICA's Version Of 'You Really Got Me' With RAY DAVIES To Appear On 'See My Friends'

September 22, 2010

METALLICA's official web site has been updated with the following message:

"About a year ago, we had the honor of playing with Ray Davies [THE KINKS] at the Rock And Roll Hall Of Fame 25th-anniversary concert in New York . . . it was the first time we had ever met Ray and was definitely one of the highlights of our night. Fast forward a few months to the tuninig room before the show in Oslo on April 14 and there we were recording with Ray!!! How cool is that?

"Turns out that Ray has been planning to put out a record of collaborations on classic KINKS songs with a wide variety of today's musicians and lo and behold we were actually asked to be included in this stellar group spanning many genres and styles. The result is coming to your favorite place to purchase music around the world on November 1, 2010. Titled 'See My Friends', our version of 'You Really Got Me' appears on disc, or in bits and bites, alongside of Ray with Bruce Springsteen, Jon Bon Jovi and Richie Sambora, Lucinda Williams, Jackson Browne, Alex Chilton, Spoon, Frank Black, Billy Corgan and many others.

"We had a blast hanging out with a real legend and hope you dig it."

A clip of METALLICA recording its cover version of "You Really Got Me" with Ray Davies can be seen below.
