Granted.

Really like. Mark Knopfler has a very unusual finger style technique, similar to Lindsey Buckingham of Fleetwood Mac. He's amazing to watch and VERY underrated. His technique is so hard to master that I don't think many people try to emulate him, which is why he's not talked about much in the music scene.

:thumbsup:

[mugs]

Mark Knopfler rocks, his solo stuff is awesome

 

[nageov3t]

eh.

I neither like nor dislike.

I'd never go out of my way to listen to them, but if a DS song happened to come on the radio, I wouldn't change the station.

What most people don't realize is that Sting does backup vocal in "Money for Nothing". That's his high pitch line.

:music: walking in the wild west end :music:

The first album and Brothers in Arms were brilliant, and the three in between had a few great songs.

I find most of Knopfler's work after Brothers a little too relaxed and harmless, but still mildly pleasant.

Oh I think most people knew that.

Seriously like all of their songs/albums.
Knopfler's "Boom Like That" is pretty good, and the Golden Heart album = :thumbsup:

The Alchemy Live album is just... awesome. There's a 13-minute version of Telegraph Road, and it is SO much better than the studio version. Having said that, all of Dire Strait's music sounds better when it's played live. The studio mixes have a very flat feel to them, and their interaction with the audience is one of the reasons that I love their music so much.

Oh, and It Never Rains is great :thumbsup:

[Edit] I have the rather rare Alchemy video (VHS) if anyone's would be interested in a cap? Quality's not going to be fantastic, but the audio's intact and there's no frame jumping or picture shake.
