Mark is in good shape in his 70's. Here we have a man who went stadium size with his band and walked away. Didn't develop a drug problem, never went to rehab, doesn't complain about the toughness of showbusiness. Just loving doing what he does. And I love listening to him.
And not a tattoo in sight
Atti Ylänen, me too. Among male pop singers, he’s my all-time favorite.
The only thing he has lost is his hair.
"I cant think of anything good about fame. Can you?" What a great soul this man has. May God bless you Mark.
He wouldn't be so loved if he weren't someone special.
fame didnt give him any lifestyle henrik, hard work and dedication to his trade MUSIC made him successful and hence rich, fame has nowt to do with it, fame was a byproduct of it all... he was once "poor" also... hats off to him...
@@Nordicroo I think you didn't get him well. He surely enjoy the way of life he gained thanks to his fame and to the money he earned, but he really doesn't need or want fame nor money in such proportions he got them.. If you don't see that in everything he is, his words, his moves, the way he behave in his life, it's strange..
@@Nordicroo he is talking about fame - not about money. Idiot you are!
Good things about fame?
How about practically limitless income, never having to worry about jobs, the economy, credentials, bosses, bills, debt, grinding away your life for a trivial amount of money, and all that other bullshit that comes with being a conventional working stiff?
Look, I've always loved Dire Straits, they're a band I can enjoy even though I've listened to their tunes a zillion and one times since I was very little. When I've really overloaded on them and can't listen anymore for a while, I can enjoy just contemplating the existence of their music, without having to listen to it!
But come on, there's nothing NOT good about being rich and famous. The two go together, and as someone who's had to get jobs and work for a living, nothing pisses me off quite like people complaining about it!
He really never just made music, everything he made was a masterpiece.
@Chango Chilemba You named 5 songs but you only talk about 3.
Private Investigations obviously came from when he used to be a reporter for a newspaper.
A few decades ago I wanted to see Dire Straits on tour. But they were not touring. Instead my wife bought us tickets to see Eric Clapton. The show started and Clapton introduced his guest: Mark Knopfler. Now, THAT was a good show!
What a cool story!
Lucky Duck!
That was Clapton's 25th Anniversary Tour. Mark Knopfler joined him and Buckwheat Zydeco opened for the Canadian dates. Barely recognized Clapton but knew who Knopfler was right away.
Sounds like a triple blessing!
@@carmenteixeira9344 I saw them in Frankfurt Germany in 1983. love over Gold tour.
Easily one of the most humble and genuine musicians around - bless you Mark 😃👍
We are so lucky to still have him around and his songs.
What a humble guy mark is. He just eminates pure class in every way 👏
I’ve seen him in concert 4 times. The first time was Benaroya Hall in Seattle. He walked out on stage and the first song he did was “Calling Elvis.” I started to cry. My car has a 6 CD player and everyone has “On Every Street” “Brothers in Arms” “Goldenheart” “Sailing to Philadelphia” “The Ragpicker’s Dream” “All the Roadrunning”. Best singin’, songwritin’ guitar playin’ man EVER! 🤩💋✍🏻🎸🎼
Listen here kids born after 2000:
This person is one of the best musicians you haven't heard of yet!
A GOD OF GUITAR!
my dad plays his music all the time, i've grown up with it. it sucks that no one else at my school listens to it.
Reb they’re cardi b fans.
Ok boomer. I've been a fan for five years and I was born 2006
Yeah,they're not here, not even remotely
yep
One of the most important Guitar Players of all times... Iconic, with his unique sound signature... Only a few achieved such high level...
Whenever you watch him doing his claw-hammer playing it reduces all the plastic pickers to poseurs.
Mark turn his back on celebrity, but he did not turn his back on music. If people enjoy his playing and singing, that's good enough for him, but he don't want to turn himself into an idol. He loves to see people enjoy his songs and music. This is my opinion of him, correct me if I'm wrong. Mark knopler is a great guy.
Oh, you're spot on.
straight up artist no thrills spills the press hate him coz he doesnt fit with the rockstar image of sex drugs an rock an roll
Doesn't stop him doing TV interviews and playing Madison square gardens, I don't buy all this nonsense about him not liking the hugeness of Dire straits he thought he'd be better solo like a lot of lead singer's think when they hit a peak and they are always wrong as the audience still prefer their bands songs when they play live.
You just described the video.... Great opinion
Knopfler
Everything is good about Knopfler , style , personality, guitar playing, vocals... just someone who can’t be born again into this life , a unique jewel
I am just but a simple ordinary 59 year old woman living in the heart of USA( WARREN, OHIO but live in FLINT, MICHIGAN BECAUSE I AM WORKING FOR GENERAL MOTORS COMPANY (UAW) in FLINT ASSEMBLY in FLINT, MICHIGAN) but my heart is yearning to meet my idol singer from dire strait MARK KNOPFLER,and i doubt in a million days tor years that this yearning of my heart desires to meet him in person will never be materialise or never will come so i am living my dreams only through my imagination..thank GOD ALMIGHTY HE GAVE US the gift of imagination. that I am attending their live concert and I am sitting in front cheering and clapping every songs they sing..ahhhhh , that's life i can only smile and wink at him through my deep imagination..I love dire strait songs and music..like, ROMEO AND JULIET, WHY WORRY ( MY MOST FAVORITE) , BROTHERS IN ARMS(MY other FAVORITE) sultans of swing, money for nothing, so far away ( I HAVE A VERY WILD IMAGINATION OF THIS SONG--which my hearts makes me QUIVERS) and all their songs.. listening to the dire strait songs 24 hours or long drive is my companion. I wish there's a tunnel of music that will lead me to meet my IDOL MR MARK KNOPFLER ONE DAY.. yeah one day in my drams??? yeah? yeah! more songs to glorify DIRE STRAIT AND YOU MY idol singer MR MARK KNOPFLER, i am your NUMBER ONE (1) yes , number one fan..i love you SIR.. I am ,.....venus walker of warren ohio USA,
when asked why he doesn't use a pick... "why should i lend myself to a pick when i have five of them?" - mark knopfler.
The first 2 Dire Straits albums are still, to this day some of my most loved and played music, and I'm an old fart.
And for me. But only these 2
Still think Making Movies and Lover Over Gold are the best.
@@henrikl1394 Those two are great! Loved those when I was a little kid :)
Telegraph Road is sublime.
@@timothybaxter7392 Certainly is! An all-time favourite guitar lick of mine. Nothing else quite like it :)
I think it's fair to say that there are millions upon millions of fans who are so thankful that Mark gave up any ambition he had of being a reporter. Watching him play that guitar is worth every penny one can scrape up. A true genius!
Greatest storyteller ever. My most favourite musician of all time. I love you, MK. Nobody, nothing will ever beat you.
“You don’t really have do make music anymore...”
“... I do.”
He’s a musician, not an accountant.
Wasn't that the very best answer--and so honest and true.
Derek Pink , great answer to an ignorant question.
Yeah! It is not all about money
Oh so true. He’s a musician the songs will always be in his head and pour out thru his fingers
Derek Pink - ha ha ha ... great comment.
True talented musicians are like Mr. Knopfler. He does what his heart tells him.
Love his playing.."Sultans" blew me away Still does.
It's the drumming in the Alchemy version of Sultans that blew my mind as a little kid. I couldn't believe the guy decided to play the drums that way, as opposed to the very exacting, yet somewhat sleepy/lethargic playing on the album version. Still a great performance, and I'm really glad they recorded it!
For me personally Sultans stands way above all other songs as well. Especially the Alchemy version.
I wonder why he stopped playing it live in 2015? Tired of it? Too quick and complicated at to play at 70?
Sir Mark Knopfler is the best guitar player and composer in the world. God save you Mark. Your songs will last for eternity, you have made the soundtracks of many lives. Greetings from Spain.
My dad introduced me to the Brothers in Arms album back in '88. I still listen to it to this day - one of my absolute favorites. Every song on the album is a solid hit, and my greatest respect for Knopfler for continuing to this day.
Mark sells himself short .Humble maybe?He is one of the best.
I sure don't. I listen to MK almost every day.
Mark, like many musicians know that there is an enormous pool of musical talent present on a global scale. It's not just humility. It's being honest and realistic. Many of the "pop" and "rock and roll" musical stars that have sold a lot of records through popular bands or in the solo area, are often placed on an unrealistic and over elevated platform. They understand this because they are aware of the musical talent out there that is almost totally unknown to the public.
Having said that, I have seen Mark Knopfler many times over the past decades - in Dire Straits and also playing solo.
(there is a great story of Mark sending a demo tape of Dire Straits songs to Paul McCartney and being rejected)
He doesn't SELL himself at all
If you can make that kind of dough selling short, you *really* know the business
Absolutely the best guitarist ever...Tunnel of Love outro is probably the greatest guitar solo ever written from a guitarist output.
So talented and so humble. I just love this guy. Being a biker I was wondering only the other day if he was still riding as I know he had a nasty accident a few years back. Great to see him on the bike. Keep them wheels rollin' Mark! and don't ever, ever, stop making music.
A humble genius, I've loved this man's music since I was 18 and heard Sultans on the radio and that wasn't yesterday. Took my 18 year old nephew to see Mark and the band in May this year, he has been a fan for the past 14 years. It's been an incredible journey so far and one I hope isn't over for a long time to come.
I love this guy
I listen to his music all the time, especially when I’m on the road for road trips or camping trips
Such beautiful words from him. One of the rare people out there who you can look up to outside their celebrity shell.
"Bananas is good." -Mark Knopfler
One of the top 3 guitarists in history imo
@Chango Chilemba Rory should be 1. Best live performer ever.
The very essence of ''Keeping It Real!''
And like Johnny Cash no matter what happens you will always be around. Love Mark Knopfler!
Communique goes non-stop in my car. A great album.
Still the most gifted musician, guitar player and song writer. He's such a legend and an idol.
Thank God for Mark Knofler. Done With Bonaparte is a timeless masterpiece among many others.
Funny how he claims to not play the guitar correctly. He's my favourite guitar player of all time.
He said he *holds* it incorrectly. Like a plumber holds a spanner.
Our planet is in need of wise people more then ever! May God bless you Mr. Knopfler and other wise people like you!
I think he's better than Hendrix or Clapton his guitar sounds like heaven to me.ever since money for nothing.I'm pretty sure that came out in 84 but his lesser known stuff slower songs are really great like single handed sailor kick ass maybe it's because I'm half Scottish.I didn't know he was till now..long live mark
hendrix was great in stage but its more spectacle than music or melody, clapton is a blues man, he is great but his style is limited to blues , not realy but almost, knophler is more versatile and has a sweet playing, he makes melodys , to have a great thechnique in guitar is not all you can have, you can be a medium guitarist but you have a sweet playing, sorry for my english hahahha
@@rez77z how about Steve ray Vaughn
@@rez77z "Hendrix was more spectacle than melody" you don't know anything about Hendrix do you? But you're right about Clapton, a blues bore
@@classicartfoundation639 yes i saw very few things from him
I think so too. If you haven't already, you should check out the music he made with Chet Atkins, another guitar legend. It's more country style, but they are talking to each other with their guitars, just heaven. At the time, Chet was already an old man, he's been dead now for several years. I hope Mark stays with us for a long time still, treating the world or just himself (if he retires) to some of the most beautiful music ever made
It was so good to see him play with and recognize the talent of Chet Atkins - over 30 years ago now - and to see that he now is where Chet was then. You grow older, you realize how much you still don't know, how much you're never going to know - but you also make peace with that. It's the best we can hope for.
MK is such a unique case...in his way of composing, playing, singing, and being...a true lesson for everyone ! He doesn’t care about fame, celebrity or money...he just loves writing songs and playing them...You’re a (local) hero... Thank you!
Incredible song-writer and a unique talent with a distinctive guitar style. Live forever!
I have met Mark before in Europe late 80’s saw him once and such a great personality and Musician..
Have a lots of Respect..
Great music and will stay Decades as it is and never been Forgotten
Alan
I love this man, as musician and as single, humble and integral person.
Very few musicians know to lead their careers with integrity and retire with dignity.
May be Mark never left..
Anyway he will die feet in boots having complied with dignity.
I wish you long life and lots of music, Mark.
From Spain.
Living legend, all the best to you, Maestro Mark!❤️
Wish they included a few moments of "Sailing To Philadelphia" ...
My favorite musician of all time
There is no more underrated artist than Mark Knopfler.
he's in the rock n roll hall of fame
Saw him live last month. Still one of the greatest, and a wonderful nice man with a big heart. Other musicians should take a lesson in humility.
Love him. Wish he was an uncle or something. lol
How cool would it be to one day say, 'Oh yeah Mark Knopfler... Uncle Mark as I call him...' and then pull the biggest smugface ever! :D
His face at restaurant reservations :)
Beautiful man!! Seen him for the first time in my life, this year” I love how Mark started out in life, he worked so hard, almost as if the lord himself had spoken to him and sent him on a great quest to share his music with the rest of mankind.
If the majority of the rich and the famous took a leaf out of this mans book,we would live in a totally different world today.
GOD BLESS YOU MARK AND THANK YOU 🙏 ❤️🎸🎸🎸🎸🎸🎸🎸🎸🎸🎸🎸🎸🎸🎸🎸🎸🎸🎸🎸🎸🎸🎸🎸🎸🎸🎸🎸🎸🎸🎸🎸🎸🎸🎸🎸🎸🎸🎸🎸🎸. 🎸🎸🎸🎸🎸🎸🎸🎸🎸🎸🎸🎸🎸🎸🎸🎸🎸🎸🎸🎸🎸🎸🎸🎸
They really should hold this guy up as an example of the perfect balance that future generations should aspire to. His grace/humility is inspiring.
love jou mark thanks for coming back again
but for now have a great time with your lovely family ;-)
The P is silent in his name folks!!! Pronounced Knaw Fler...any ways just saw him last weekend in Phoenix...man except for a few wrinkles he hasn’t changed since I last saw him on his Tracker tour when he said then was his last tour so we will see...I have love him since I was 8 years old and I still love him today as much as I did back then...his music never disappoints
Bet his name has a German decent so properly it would be pronounced also. And also the K.
True the k is silent as well but the news man didn’t pronounce the K as he did the P...If I remember reading right Marks dad came from Hungary???was a Jew I think but both I He and David were born in Scotland
@@melbright100 Yes his dad was hungarian, I speak hungarian too, theres no silents there like in english. But still, I live close to hungary and the Jews here had usually german names, so its no coincidence... And laso look here and listen to the pronounciation: translate.google.sk/?hl=sk#view=home&op=translate&sl=de&tl=en&text=knopf
Humble humble humble
Thanks Mark for all those hours of fun.. Dedication and devotion... From Greg in Bexhill on Sea.. Sussex, England...
just the greatest guitar player and composer we have in our days...
"I just sent it over..." What an amaizingly humble person that has given so much to all guitar music lovers.
Brings a lump to my throat when Mark says " these guys all play better than I do. But they let me get away with it because I wrote the songs".
The best part is that the music industry at the time was all like "mine mine mine mine mine mine mine" each time Mark came with anything new he had just written. Literally they would take anything he'd give from his hands the second they had a chance...
for him "I was just sending stuff around", as if he was having trouble finding anyone who'd take his work. Yeah, right, Mark. Damn right you were, lol.
Brothers In Arms was the first song I took seriously as a young teenager back in the mid 80s. Still it's one of my all time favorites.
Legend!! One of my guitar heroes.
Imagine seeing david gilmour and knopfler live together trading off solos, and their vocals would complement eachothers.
they respect and like each other, like Knopfler and Clapton
Vladimir Dj They both played on the Bryan Ferry’s Boys and Girls album!
@@test868 and in this skit as well ruclips.net/video/QeIxJzdPD0A/видео.html
Pity Gilmour is such a Leftist twat
@@test868 Wow !!..... I have that album....and I didn't know that. I just checked ... you are correct 👍
We still appreciate your music Mark! I’ve been enamored since I heard the sultans of swing. Brothers in arms moves me every time I hear it!
Mason should stick to interviewing elementary school teachers from Alabama. Try as he did to get Knopfler to come across as an arrogant rock legend, Mark is a completely natural chap, who just loves his music - and loves to play it for simple folks who love to listen to it.
A great story teller he is on many of the chapters of our lives so many happy memories.
The master.
Love Mark, love Dire Straits. I have since I was about 3 years old. Just saw him on the Down the Road Wherever tour on the 22nd of September. That was my first concert and I can’t think of anyone else I’d rather have seen for my first concert. My dad was supposed to go with me because he’s as big a Knopfler fan as I am, but he got sick and couldn’t go. I ended up taking a friend who knew nothing about Mark Knopfler, aside from when they played “Money for Nothing” as an encore. But it ended up working out really well and she became a fan after that single show. Mark’s just always been a great musician and a great guy. Rock on
A true gentleman. Good stuff Mark.
wonderful emotional, almost tear jerking playing
Great guy, great live performer. Haven't missed him once when he played in my home town.
Mark was massive influence on my playing as a kid. great memories. Would love to write with him. ~We are even born on the same day!
Dear Mark
You're fantastic personality and musician. Thank you
I love this man and his music and songs. Thank you.
He is absolutely great, a legend!
I loved him since I first listened to him in 1988. He made love music and guitar, nobody else give me that shiver when I hear a few notes on guitar!
The man is brilliant God bless Mark. My star.
Love his humility
He's gotta be up there with the best!! Such a talented artist and band. Their music will never die compared to the crap being played now on the radio. No wonder more and more young people are starting to realise that the 70-80's music was simply the best!
I fucking love this song "Tunnel of love" I love this man, god bless you Mark
If ever there was proof that you don't need to be a celebrity to be successful. What a human being, total respect.
The Rock n Roll Hall of Fame snubbed Dire Straits for so long, I'm glad Mark Knopfler snubbed them back. The RnR HoF has really become a joke over the past 15 years or so.
Greater than ever.
I want to go to your concert one day before you say goodbye to stage, thanks Mr. Knopfler, you can always release my mind when I feel stressed. Best wishes,.
I really need to see Mark soon. I missed a chance to see him many years ago to with Chet Atkins (yes, Chet Atkins) at Café Milano in Nashville in the nineties. I knew Chet would be there, but according to my friends there, this "other" guy stepped in and Chet only said hello to my friend Mark. They raved about the collaboration. One of my great regrets in life.
What a class act. love his music.
my favourite music pieces walk of life, money for nothing or sultan of swing , heard them for more than 20 years now and still get hypnotysed by it
It’s kind of sad that he acknowledges the other musicians are better than him. It’s not just humility. It’s an honest assessment of his current standard of playing, Back in the day they couldn’t have held a candle to him.
he sells him self well short he is still the best finger picking guitarist in the world even at 70 years old the day mark knopfler passes will be the saddest day in the history of music mark is a composer like mozart an brahms
You are correct, saw him in Minneapolis in August and it was night and day from how he played in the same venue 4 years prior. I left the show saddened by his decline in abilities. Mind you it was still amazing it it was obvious that at his age he can longer play like he used to. When he finally dies, for me there’s no more music. I think he’s the best musician certainly that I’ve ever heard in my lifetime. You just can’t compare him to anyone or anything else, he’s in a class that no one else has been able to reach.
Gracias por tantas emociones que nos regalaste con tus bellas obras!! Felicitaciones!! Bendiciones Mark!!
I will always love Mark Knopfler he's a massive inspiration to guitarist the world over from his early days and Way into the future a legendary unique guitarist song writer it's so amazing all his amazing catchy memorable songs with riffs all plucked from his everyday life and his ideas stitched together let's us paint a pic in our minds of the scenes set by his imaginational musical ultra talent whilst his thumb rocks the way and says ney to the singing nun as his four beats to the bar spans across every tune he's ever done
If you ever get a chance to see him in concert, make sure you go! I saw him and was absolutely blown away with his playing and the band. It was so tight and slick, and he really enjoys it. You also forget the breadth of music that he has produced, no two songs are really the same.
Thank you for the music Mark. Deepest enjoy from Norway
I love his comment about playing the older dire straits songs...sometimes artists have not wanted to go back to the older stuff but he responded very eloquently....
But he rarely, if ever, after 1979, replicates the studio versions. He likes to improvise within the framework of the original. Because he can.
This guy is simply magic.. I discover his music in 1990.. since than my whole perception of music changed for ever !
One of the changes was that he’s the guy who pushed me to learn playing guitar.. and never got into playing one single song like he does.. and never seen someone on earth able to mimic his play... what a unique guitarist ever.
He is so pleasant
Your hand made of pure diamonds and your soul as well ... what a gentleman .
If every talented person were like Mark, the United States would be a healthy nation.
Essa calma essa serenidade faz de você essa pessoa linda que é 💕💕💕 y love Mark 💕💕💕💕
We love the new album, it came out last November and we still spin the vinyl on a regular basis. It’s fairly diverse including some tracks with horns. Good example is,”When You Leave.”Tom Walsh is on trumpet 🎺 and does an amazing job. Of course, Mark Knopfler’s guitar playing goes without saying, just as brilliant as he ever has been.We highly recommend it.🎧
-Humble & Awesome.
-The música is primary & performer adds to the good works many times.
Their Love Over Gold album is by far my favorite. Brothers in Arms comes at a close second.
@Chango Chilemba Agreed on 1 and 6.
I think love over gold has best sound quality for Hi-Fi
Your music is just wonderful .. Thank you so much.
