Dave Davies can't make himself any clearer: "Ray's an a**hole."

Brother RayВ has been talking up the idea of a possible Kinks reunion recently while doing press for his new release, 'See My Friends', a collaborative tribute with other artists like
Bruce Springsteen, Metallica, Jon Bon Jovi & Richie Sambora to the brothers' legendary band, which comes out next week.

Ray recently told Gigwise that he thinks his brother is "coming around" to the idea of a possible Kinks reunion.

Dave who suffered a stroke in 2004 set the record straight with London's Daily Mail – there will never be a reunion. "I think the music is so beautiful it shouldn't be tainted," he says. "It would be a shame. You don't need to see silly old men in wheelchairs singing 'You Really Got Me.'"
