stoopid ppl got EXCITEd by this britSHIT. brit_CLASSIC ROck_Mag quite RIGHTly didN't (even) mention mark as 1of the BEST Ever 100 GUITARistS. He said himself his music was NOTgood At ALL. My favS who were OBVIOUSly LISTed: 1Jimi Xendrix (not just coZ wasBLACK). 2. LATINo Carlos Santana & 3. usa RANDY California ! BRITs being envious of civilised Sweden & EASTern EUROpe where their White-uk SLUTs=Drunk woMEN R not welcome like inSpain, etc forgot 1 exBoyFriend of mine who's better than mark too
From laslohun : [the knopfler broths are from budapester jewish-getto, mike speaks still hungarian..n yiddish too..] I doN't know ab. that, but if you say so, it might be true. Prob. that's why they had a band from BUdapEST in the official Money4Nothing vid (the "gay" looking man dressed IN RED & Black, -1st FLOor, turn LEFT baby- or sumthing like that). Hope DS were popular in Hungary in the '80s coZ in BUcharEST (Romania) DS wereN't played @all, never roCKED ROmania with ROmeo & Juliet, etc
what an ARTIST. Still there R Brit themselves ppl who say heavy-boozers/drug-addicts RollingStones+ the TaxEvaders U2 were/Are bigger than DS were (Mark Knopfler) will-ever-be! keithRichards boasted in aUK men's mag ab. how he had taken drugs4years but is still alive (UNlike INXS' Michael H, etc), Bono sucked up2 georgeBush. But then again inUK all 16 y.o. brit-born BLONDEs say "I'm PROUD i had a boob job" instead of -I'm GLAD I bought big tits but I'm PROUD of my charity, writing, etc Work-
Hiya KGB...If looked at Mark's DNA and you did not know it was taken from him the you wouls say..."this guy is not a Brit".
He was born in the UK with a UK mother, grew up in the UK...that's all. He ain't a true Brit in the DNA way. You would prolly say "this guy is a USAer..the mix he has"
Just funny when you say USAer, he is the Pusher and you are the USAer.heehee. Wherever he is from, He is one of the greatest, it doesnt matter, tho techincally he is british. Am sure he wants his music for everyone.
Hell yes his music is popular the world over! I agree with all you say. I think MK is proud to be a Brit, and moreover, a Brit from the NE of England.
@dergrossen WTF are you talking about here,I mean the guy just come's on and does a bit guitar and your talkin about DNA!? For the record anyone who actually listen's to his music know's at least where his heart is and I dont think it's in theUSA(no offence yanks)
@dergrossen I ken the story and I ken what you mean, why it bother's you is my point, he's a musician playin music, I'm English but couldn't care where m paren't went or lived and I'm not particluarly proud of my country but again, who care's, it's another argument on another site, why come on here where normal people want to watch some music bein played and your bleetin on about where he may or may not be from.
Hi giza..it takes awhile to decipher what KGB is on about but basically he says he does not like the English and he does like Scandinavians and Slavs. You have to remember that English is not the native language for many posters on here. Therein lies a clue to why MK writes remarkable songs with outstanding melody....he ain't your average Brit.
Giza..unlock the spam filter to read ALL of KGBs posts.....one of 'em he removed. It is ironic that the prejudice of KGB and your question to me all fits the pattern of an outsider looking in....the product is ART and thats what you get with MKs work.
I'm getting thing's now my friend, sometime's I can't help but stick an oar in here and there when I know I shouldn't stoop. Only a fool judge's a man from his country, there are arse hole's every were in all countries, as are there good folk. I'm wonderin if KGB knew misery was contagious would it stop him spreading his or make him do it more lol
mark knopfler is a second best guitar player ever... oficial list: 1.hendrix 2.knopfler 3.page 4.clapton 5.santana 6.bryan may 7.slash 8.gilmour 9.van halen 10.gary moore
hahah yeah right,, no way.. Knopfler is THE number one.. at least knopfler has its own original style.. he created a whole technique,, now dont tell me that hendrix is better,, you may like his music more.. but marks tecnique is way more advanced!!
no,, i dont mean fingerstyle.. but i mean his way of fingerpicking.. he created that. Like he sad in an interview about his technique: its not perfect but its mine:)
wheres chet atkins lol only one of marks biggest influences but i do agree alot with this list except with slash what the s*** is he doing on there lol
Mark Knopfler is the Greatest Guitarist of all time, who's with me!!

As to where MKs heart is? Well I would guess it is somewhere between Gosforth and Glasgow... maybe Lanark?
This stuff is hard to explain unless you are the child of an immigrant, an outsider in almost every sense.
