Apparently he doesn't know what the fuzz is about either.

I can't claim to be a regular listener to the output from the Grateful Dead, and I don't know them in depth in any way. What I have got from them, is their first five studio albums and probably three first live albums (two doubles and one triple?).
Especially their more experimentative second and third studio albums ANTHEM OF THE SUN and AOXOAMOXOA I have really liked formerly. So generally boring they can't be.

I don't understand why all of these rock stars are so against The Dead. The inventiveness, creativity, and beautiful melodies/lyrics that their music has far surpasses most bands' music. Obviously I don't think they stack up against The Stones or Beatles, but I'd take The Dead over The Kinks any day.

Most of these rock stars have probably never been to a Dead show. The Dead were a live band, more so than the Beatles or the Stones. Their best music was always played live and not in the studio like the Beatles and Stones. They were never able to capture that magic in the studio, imo.

There's also the Stones version of 'I Wanna Be Your Man.' The overall guitar sound and Brian's solo on that record (released almost a year earlier than the Kinks YRGM) were pretty heavy for its time. Did that influence Dave? (He doesn't mention it)
While I don't like Keith Richard's method of promoting his solo album, I don't think many took his comments seriously (especially the ones about the Beatles Sgt. Pepper's album). It sounds like Dave Davies is doing the same thing as Keith (trying to grab headlines for his tour).

I don't know but I have Always thought that Jimi Hendrix were the guy that really changed something in the guitarsound with his 'overdrive-sound'...at least Zappa were very influenced by that...and now we're talking Guitarists nameing Jimi and Frank..Dave Davies..was his guitar even plugged in on the Kinks live concerts?...or was it the other famous brother Tom Fogerty that wasn't...
And Dave! who is Muddy Waters? and what sound does he has already in the 50ies..??

Apart from American Beauty And Workingmans Dead, where their output WAS great as it seemed they at least tried to make properly constructed songs to my ears, and these are great albums, the rest of the Dead's output had been dreadful and totally self indulgent. You have to be on something, surely, to get it?
