ArrowSnake Posted June 18, 2009 Share Posted June 18, 2009 QUOTE (RUSHHEAD666 @ Jun 18 2009, 09:49 AM) QUOTE (ArrowSnake @ Jun 18 2009, 01:25 AM) QUOTE (RUSHHEAD666 @ Jun 18 2009, 07:09 AM) I just have a quick question. Is Mark Knopfler influenced by Jerry Garcia? I don't think so. I think Mark was influenced by Chet Atkins, Scotty Moore and Hank Marvin. Hey Arrow! I love Chet Atkins. I'm really not into the country thing but I do have that Knopfler/Atkins cd. Don't forget Chet with Les Paul and Chet with Jimmy Reed. Those cds are in print from Japan! They are fantastic!!! Earl Yeah Chet's a fantastic player, he influenced so many people... Check this video out: Mark Knopfler & Chet Atkins/ YouTube Scotty Moore (who played guitar for Elvis in the fifties) was also influenced by Chet Atkins, and Scotty himself became a big influence on many guitar players, including Mark Knopfler.

Mark Knopfler & Scotty Moore/ YouTube My dad was/is a big Chet Atkins fan. Hance, I grew up listening to a lot of his stuff. It's likely a reason that I'm such a fan of Dire Straits. Chet has great tone, which is what interests me most from a player. Wankery ala VanHalen, Satriani, Vai, not so much. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steevo Posted June 18, 2009 Share Posted June 18, 2009 For me I gotta go with Making Movies. While flawed its an easy 4/5 rating. Just a few essentials made up from the debut, Love and Brothers would round it out. That's all I need from MK and Co Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not too keen on the production. I like the crisper sound. It works for these songs, though (kind of like Signals). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RUSHHEAD666 Posted March 7, 2019 Author Share Posted March 7, 2019 LOVE OVER GOLD!!!!!!! Humans HATE Dire Straits! I think Mark and his brother stood up the Cock And Roll Hall Of Fame! OH WELL! "Love Over Gold" is one of the greatest albums on the Earth!!! Yes ReRushed, "Brothers In Arms" is an MTV boring record, but did you know it was the first cd pressed for America? 1985! I bought it at Tower in Concord even before I had a cd player! My next cd was Moving Pictures then Ratt Out Of The Cellar! Insane I remember this! The rest is history! Now cds are becoming obsolete. Only in the Millennial USA! BEAT IT! Praise Japan and Europe!!! There are 85 TOWER locations in Japan. I can't wait to go! Better get a black AM EX CARD! LOL!!!! What irony. "LOVE OVER A 24 KARAT GOLD CD?" Mmmmmmmmm Fuckkk love. Been there done that. First time marry for love. Second time marry for money!!!

Hatchetaxe&saw Posted March 7, 2019 Share Posted March 7, 2019 Debut & Communique for me. And Alchemy, of course. A splendid live album. Walk of Life aside, Brothers In Arms is a great album. Seeing MK in May. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
