Steevo Posted September 28, 2012 Share Posted September 28, 2012 Has anyone heard the Privateering album yet and more importantly, is anyone here going to see MK along with Dylan on the current North American tour?

CygnusGal Posted September 30, 2012 Share Posted September 30, 2012 Count me! Knopfler is an amazing musician and Dire Straits a great band. The first album is one of my favorites. Down to the Waterline, Water of Love, Setting Me Up. Great stuff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

micgtr71 Posted November 22, 2012 Share Posted November 22, 2012 Mark Knopfler is my favorite guitarist. The tone he gets is monster and instantly recognizable. I have seen him live and count it among the best that I have seen. The lead at the end of Romeo and Juliet is full of the tone and phrasing I want to achieve when I play. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steevo Posted November 23, 2012 Share Posted November 23, 2012 The lead at the end of Romeo and Juliet is full of the tone and phrasing I want to achieve when I play. For sure; his technique, phrasing, tone, so distinctive. Would love to incorporate some of his style. I'm revisiting more and more, having a new appreciation of this genius. There are a few albums I overlooked a little during the 80s, now I totally get them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RUSHHEAD666 Posted November 29, 2012 Share Posted November 29, 2012 I love Dire Straits too! I almost bought Mark's new double cd entitled "Privateering" but I passed. Very bluesy/folky. I wish he would go electric again and do more shit like "Sultans Of Swing."One of the greatest guitar solos of all time on that tune! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rod in Toronto Posted December 6, 2012 Share Posted December 6, 2012 I followed Mark´s first two solo albums, but then it got too boring. He played in Rio a few years back and wouldn´t even raise his head to say hello, that was a huge disappointment...nowadays I can´t even get past the full versions of Romeo & Juliet or Brothers in Arms without falling asleep.

I was barraged with DS from a friend in the 80s, but only liked a smidgen back then in my metal snobbery (always liked Alchemy though!). Now of course it's a completely different story :codger: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree. The "Brothers In Arms" album was the first cd that I ever bought back in like 1985. Now in 2012 I can't get into that album at all. Just put on "Love Over Gold." The album is perfect!

I love how Mark really shook up the tones on that album and what about the epic storytelling in Telegraph Road??!! :o holyfeck...I'm wide awake for that shit sir :clap: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
