And if you are the sort of person who has to seek attention and positive affirmation ie: Anyone who likes my comment make a comment to make me feel popular etc, then you are a sad little nothing. Now, PLEASE intercourse off
@egyptology22 All i said was educate yourself before making stupid & ignorant comments about MK. I gave you the facts about why what you said was bullshit. You said MK couldnt even solo before he joined Brewers Droop which is complete bs.
Secondly as ive already mentioned in my early post's to your retarded self that MK is very humble and never acknowledges his mastery of the guitar. MK is a very humble man and he's not going to say he's one of the greatest even tho we all know he is.
He's self taught, and when he was in Brewers Droop his first band he couldn't even play a solo, now look at him, deadset legend and up there with David Gilmour
@egyptology22 Complete BS. Try to educate yourself before writing ignorant comments about Mark Knopfler. MK was a very accomplished guitar player & finger picker when he joined Brewers Droop. He was 24 years old with 9 years of guitar playing under his belt. Brewers Droop wasnt his first band & it wasnt MK's band. MK played guitar for them in 1973. Brewers Droop was formed in 1972 by Ron Watts & if memory serves me correctly had 2 albums out before MK played with them for some months in 73.
Firstly, read the post again. I have an interview of him saying exactly what I wrote, I don't think he would lie about himself would he? Secondly, read my first point, and thirdly, practice what you preach, educate yourself before you write.
@egyptology22 Upload the interview then. Its not lying about himself you idiot its called being humble. MK is very humble and is never going to say he's the greatest or even very good for that matter.
Are you completely fucked in the head? READ what I said, it was not putting him down in ANYWAY, he needed no one to defend him at all you troll, look for the interview yourself, it was with the BBC in 1986. I'm not wasting my time time on another moron on you tube who thinks its his god given right to abuse anyone who has an opinion. Now, stick your strat back up your ass and stop wasting my fucking time, and get off the drugs, you may read a little better.
@egyptology22 Your opinion of MK not being able to play a single solo when he joined Brewers Droop is not true at all and complete bs. Educate yourself before talking about something you clearly dont have a clue about. Now how about you blow another blood vessel and freak out, you dumb ignorant cunt.
Troll, you seem to have a lot of time on your hands, so find the interview, WATCH the ACTUAL WORDS coming in out of his OWN MOUTH, and then you can send Mark a nasty message telling him he is full of shit. As for the last part of your non-sensical response, talk about the pot calling the kettle black. HELL YEAH. TROLL
@egyptology22 The only troll here is you for saying MK couldn't even play a guitar solo before he joined Brewers Droop & by that ignorant & retarded statement of yours, you clearly lack any knowledge of MK & guitar playing in general. You have to resort to swearing & calling names b'coz there is nothing much you can say to save yourself. I will say this for the last time MK was a very good & accomplished guitar player when he joined Brewers Droop. MK is my hero and sadly you are a zero.
I see comments of 'this is their best song' for a lot of Dire Straits songs here on YouTube. Or even 'THE best song in general'. Anyway, this is my favourite song and has been for a long time.
@fIRsTRATmAN He's not only a Guitar God but also an awesome songwriter. IMO he's up there with the likes of Lennon and McCartney! It's hard to see him placed at #44 in Rolling Stone's greatest guitarist list. 44?! Is that some kinda joke?! He should be in the top 15! >.<
@abir12501101 THAT ROLLING STONE LIST IS A JOKE. McCARTNEY AINT GOT NOTHING ON MARK KNOPFLER. TOP 15 ARE YOU FREAKING KIDDING ME? GUITAR PLAYING AINT AN OLYMPIC SPORT.
i agree Mark is often overlooked by the popular press as who I consider to be one of the best ever artists not only the quality of his palying but his writing is up there with the best again
Knopfler is in a very small, very elite group of guitarists....... and just like fine wine, gets better and smoother with age. Love how he just gets on stage and plays, no gimmicks, no bullshit, just him plying his craft. A pure joy to watch and listen too.
As a young man, I bought "Love Over Gold" on cassette when it first came out. I'd listen to the "Telegraph Road" solo while cruising down a highway late at night. It may sound a little odd, but it just "seemed right" for lack of a better description. Knopfler doesn't get his due when great guitarists are discussed. This is pure artistry genius at work.
@ChargerRT440 - I never was much of a Dire Straights fan but always loved Mark's guitar work. I guess in a way I am agreeing with you (for what it is worth).
I think that (also in my younger day) I did not pay enough attention to Mark Knopfler but I am sure as hell loving his style in the present day!
For me it might just be an age thing but when the "Best Guitarist" conversation comes up Mark's name is popping up more and more within my 50 year old club.
@Tull29 Im only 23 and I have known Mark is the best since I was 10. You are very late learning this! Knopfler, and Joe Satriani, are the two guitarists that do the absolute most with their guitars as much as they can. Eric Clapton for instance, is great dont get me wrong, but is given too much credit. He is nowhere near the level of player or composer that MK or Satch are. MK is hands down the most individual guitarist of all time. Hes a true gentleman too which make him all the more great.
@theSicilianToe -well, I'm not going to get into the "Who's The Best" conversation (that is a matter of personal taste) but I was talking to a fellow work colleague (age 63) last night at work and for the life of both of us we cannot figure out why Mark usually ranks so low on the "Best" lists.
We are both veterans of literally dozens upon dozens of concerts and we both agree that it is a shame that neither of us has ever seen Mark live.
@Tull29 Probably because people judge a guitarist by the number of hits they have. Its the reason Jimi Hendrix is boasted so high, because he was so popular during the hippie era. If you take all that hogwash away he is a terrible guitarist that cant play any one of his songs the same way twice, and he misses notes left and right. You have to appreciate music to love Knopfler, because people are distracted by his voice and they dont pay attention to his guitar - which is his voice.
@theSicilianToe you may not like Hendrix but to say he is a terrible guitarist just kills your whole argument b'cos your bias is blatant. Having hits does not take away from one's talent. He "missed" notes left and right by choice and by choice played his songs different ways. His genius is undeniable so is Mark's....both legends!!
@mysticman7765 I dont care if it was by choice or not his music doesnt sound good. This sounds good. Satriani sounds good. Clapton sounds good. They perfect their talents. Hendrix was just a lot of sound to me. I dont care what he did for the industry. Hes a lot of sound.
@mysticman7765 Having an opinion about somebodys music doesnt make me an asshole. If you cant take criticism then show business isnt the business you should be in.
@theSicilianToe WOW, WOW! Relax, no one is calling anyone an asshole....have you never heard the saying" like an asshole everyone has an opinion"? meaning we all have our own opinion about everything one way or another.
@Tull29 I personally like that raspy mans voice Knopfler sings with (like Alabama 3). Of course somebody like Whitney Houston is great but its just not my thing. I like instrumentals. Most people however, they want Justin Biebers and Katy Perrys. They dont know the first thing about what it takes to make music. They think it all comes out of a computer.
@Tull29 You MUST see Mark live. IDK how others feel about musicians, but Knopfler is like god to me. He always was. When I saw him live in Syracuse two years ago, man I had to hold back tears. It was like a dream come true. Granted today he is more laid back and doesnt jam with Dire Straits anymore, his musics more country then rock, jazz, or blues, but hes still terrific, and still plays Sultans and Telegraph and Money for Nothing at his solo shows. Hes still brilliant though, and still touring
@theSicilianToe - at my age and living in Canada I might not have that opportunity. Mark Knopfler is one of three artists that I will regret not having seen (Ian Anderson, and The Moody Blues being the other two).
For what it is worth my second favorite Knopfler song is "What it Is".
@Tull29 I am pretty sure he tours in Canada too. And anyways make a weekend of it and come down to the States, see him perform. I live about 2 hours driving time from the border. Just across the lake from Toronto in Rochester, NY. He is touring in Syracuse again later this year im sure, either that or Buffalo. Rent a hotel and go see him. This mans a legend. It would be like seeing Beethoven. I love What it is but I think my favorite song is his from his solo career has to be 5:15 am.
@mysticman7765 Trust me, I KNOW that! I've just been in too many bull sessions where some numbnuts will rattle off a litany of guitarists & leave Knopfler out of the mix.
It doen't sound odd at all. The song is amazing. I drove back from Nates to Brest during the night 3 years ago and listened to Alchemy all the way and this song just kept me going. Tunnel of love is my othe favourite on the album
Hey farco777, great video, but do you have to make it all douchy with your name in the background and "AMAZING AUDIO" in the title? It is a great video! The audio is great too! Let it be what it is, no one's gonna steal it. Great work on the video, seriously it was awesome.
1%. Lord, just grant me 1% of Knopfler's talent. Awesome. His ranking of #27 is far too low. He certainly belongs in the top 10? Thanks for posting this.
@harpman54 nobody that knows what a guitar sounds like follows by that silly list. joe satriani, ec, santana, knopfler, and gilmour are top 5 best guitarists in the world id say hands down because they showcase their talents on the guitar more then all the others. satriani and knopfler are top 2 i would say for unique individuality and doing the most with their guitars. clapton for example is just a more popular songwriter. still a great guitarist but nowhere near knopflers level.
Mark, siempre has sido mi ídolo. Cada vez que te escucho los buenos recuerdos me inundan y la piel se me eriza. Eres el mejor. Desde Cáceres (España), que gran concierto diste en el 92!
I can't think of the right words to describe this video, but I can say it is wonderful. I am 57 and I have always thought that Mr.Knopfler was that best guitarist I have ever heard.
First, I must say that I LOVE MK and particularly Telegraph Road. I listen to this song since 20 years without never being bored.
BUT: I must say that this performance is definitely NOT his best; listen to the version in Basel (1992). You will see the Master at the top of his art.
This prove one more time,that its not how many notes you can rattle of in 5 seconds,its WHAT notes the guitarist play and the phrasing that counts.This,and the TIME.
HELL YEAH!!

Many important warnings from our Lord about the Antichrist, the Two Witnesses, Revelation 12, the false rapture/alien invasion.

@theSicilianToe - at my age and living in Canada I might not have that opportunity. Mark Knopfler is one of three artists that I will regret not having seen (Ian Anderson, and The Moody Blues being the other two).
For what it is worth my second favorite Knopfler song is "What it Is".

@Tull29 I am pretty sure he tours in Canada too. And anyways make a weekend of it and come down to the States, see him perform. I live about 2 hours driving time from the border. Just across the lake from Toronto in Rochester, NY. He is touring in Syracuse again later this year im sure, either that or Buffalo. Rent a hotel and go see him. This mans a legend. It would be like seeing Beethoven. I love What it is but I think my favorite song is his from his solo career has to be 5:15 am.

@ChargerRT440 , for lack of a better name is a deathmau5 album, for lack of a better description.

@ChargerRT440 this guy IS at the same level as Hendrix, Clapton etc, pure wizardry with the guitar and anyone who disagrees can eat a fat one!!

@mysticman7765 Trust me, I KNOW that! I've just been in too many bull sessions where some numbnuts will rattle off a litany of guitarists & leave Knopfler out of the mix.

It doen't sound odd at all. The song is amazing. I drove back from Nates to Brest during the night 3 years ago and listened to Alchemy all the way and this song just kept me going. Tunnel of love is my othe favourite on the album

Mark Knopfler has mastered the guitar. There are very few who have. The guitar is an easy instrument to learn but very hard to master.

Hey farco777, great video, but do you have to make it all douchy with your name in the background and "AMAZING AUDIO" in the title? It is a great video! The audio is great too! Let it be what it is, no one's gonna steal it. Great work on the video, seriously it was awesome.

1%. Lord, just grant me 1% of Knopfler's talent. Awesome. His ranking of #27 is far too low. He certainly belongs in the top 10? Thanks for posting this.

@harpman54 nobody that knows what a guitar sounds like follows by that silly list. joe satriani, ec, santana, knopfler, and gilmour are top 5 best guitarists in the world id say hands down because they showcase their talents on the guitar more then all the others. satriani and knopfler are top 2 i would say for unique individuality and doing the most with their guitars. clapton for example is just a more popular songwriter. still a great guitarist but nowhere near knopflers level.

@harpman54 You said it my friend. Always liked some of the old timers like Django too. But MK is in my top 3!!

Lots of good things going on in this song. But what stands out to me most of all is Mark Knofler's choice of notes and sense of melody. Brilliant!

I can't think of the right words to describe this video, but I can say it is wonderful. I am 57 and I have always thought that Mr.Knopfler was that best guitarist I have ever heard.

First, I must say that I LOVE MK and particularly Telegraph Road. I listen to this song since 20 years without never being bored.
BUT: I must say that this performance is definitely NOT his best; listen to the version in Basel (1992). You will see the Master at the top of his art.

This prove one more time,that its not how many notes you can rattle of in 5 seconds,its WHAT notes the guitarist play and the phrasing that counts.This,and the TIME.
