3:09 pm -	Photos of two of Dave's guitars in the Rock 'n' Roll Hall of Fame, taken Nov. 5th, 2008: 1971 Martin D-18 - "Better know for his much copied riff-laden electric guitar work that became a template for heavy metal, Dave Davies also provided subtle and delicatly executed acoustic guitar to such Kinks songs as 'Celluloid Heroes', 'Sunny Afternoon', 'Days' and 'Waterloo Sunset'." The guitar is currently located in the "London & Liverpool Ferry Cross the Mersey" display in the HOF. Gibson Artisan Les Paul - "Dave Davies is known for his much copied riff-laden electric guitar work that became a template for heavy metal.

9:35 pm -	Added a page for the new Beat Beat Beat DVD. Dave's mini-review: It's worth the £5 just to have better quality video of this footage than what has appeared on bootlegs. However, there are some glaring errors that point to carelessness on the part of the manufacturer: First, the song "Milk Cow Blues" is mis-titled as "Oh Please", and second, the DVD has five chapters -- one per song -- but chapter 3 contains "Til The End Of The Day" as well as all of "I'm A Lover Not A Fighter", and chapter 4 contains the same "I'm A Lover..." footage except inexplicably cut off 2/3 through the song.
