If Dire Straits had played the songs for On Every Street the way they did for the tour, they could have had another epic album on their hands, rather than merely a very very good one. But then, perhaps that was a little deliberate: Mark Knopfler has made no secret of the fact that he did not want to go through the Brothers in Arms pandemonium again. If the album was a little understated, then they could concentrate on the (as it turned out) farewell tour and not have the media on their case.
whatta monster guitar player. i wish this band to get back together and tour around the US.. and stop in my town.. i could really go for a concert like this..
Listen up pop music posers, this is how you play music., and if you want to write music you could do much worse than to imitate Knopfler's sarcasm. Mark wasn't a devotee of laser lights, fancy costumes or smoke machines, but you don't need those tricks when you have the musicianship of Dire Straits. I got to see this tour in 92 and it would have been perfect but Industrial Disease wasn't on the set list.
This is fucking MAGIC compared to shitty rap and other music today, what happened to good taste in music? People will listen to anything that syncs up anymore, lol
My chick loves a man whos strong The things shell do to turn me on I love the babes, dont get we wrong Hey, thats why I wrote this song I dont care if my liver is hanging by a thread Dont care if my doctor says I ought to be dead When my ugly big car wont climb this hill Ill write a suicide note on a hundred dollar bill Cause if you wanna run cool If you wanna run cool Yes if you wanna run cool, you got to run On heavy, heavy fuel
he's in a trance, he concentrates though, some criticize him for being so cool, unmoving like, but his chords are so complex, he was such a perfectionist, listen to his TIMING, and the volume ranges, unbelievably sensual to the entire mood, he's a great, could have been greater, wish they were around many more years of more songs.
Last time I was sober, man I felt bad Worst hangover that I ever had It took six hamburgers and scotch all night Nicotine for breakfast just to put me right 'cos if you wanna run cool If you wanna run cool Yes if you wanna run cool, you got to run On heavy, heavy fuel My life makes perfect sense Lust and food and violence Sex and money are my major kicks Get me in a fight I like dirty tricks
More sheer talent in this man's pinky that in a boat load of pretenders before and since. Has there ever been anyone quite like him? I really don't think so.
Dis shit is very good
