LOL Ride you're asking for it, man. No Dave Davies did the solo for You Really Got ME...... Page played session work for a song or 2 but his style was not up to Ray's taste. (Not saying Page is bad, just saying Ray didn't like the work Page did). That is the fact. I don't know what he did for the Stones.
EVERYONE, FROM SHEL TALMY TO THE ENGINEERS TO EVERY KINKS MEMBER HAVE ALL STATED IT WAS DAVE (and trust me enough of them including Ray hated Dave that they would have come forward, because noone has anything to lose). Dave when he is on is one of the greatest guitarists ever.
How he did it was he had an old 15 watt Elpico amp that he slit and put knitting needles in to get the sound.
I can't think of the band right now it was a lesser known 1 hit wonder band that was big in the UK in the 60's and Page said he did thier guitar work and they have proof that Page couldn't have done it. Yet Page swears he did that also. Page just wants everyone to believe he is the greatest and provoked all these different sounds and styles. The man's ego knows no bounds.

My response is, "I like to put forks in an eletrical socket, just LOVE that feeling, can't ever get enough of it, so will you let me put this copper fork in that electric socket?"
