    Nicest most real guy in music today.Feet firmly on the ground.

    This guy is such a goddamn legend he doesn't even know...

    • @scottsanerd
      @scottsanerd 7 лет назад +3

      khlash yeah, he just seems so genuine and full of joy and the love of music, which I think shines through in every little lick on every song

    • @Karmakatt6
      @Karmakatt6 3 года назад

      The only reference MK has is probably when he plays with musicians who need to work on their Chops when he calls out Keys.. Although of course he often surrounds himself with top shelf guys..

    I don't think Mark gets the credit he deserves. Yes, he is recognised as a fantastic guitarist and songwriter. To my mind, he is THE best simply because of the variety of his playing, the different guitars he uses, the songs he writes. People always go on about Hendrix, Page, Clapton and others. All brilliant, but Mark Knopfler beats them all.

    • @mickeysigrist
      @mickeysigrist 7 лет назад +4

      I wouldn't say he's better than these guys you quote but I surely think Mark is just as good as they were. Cheers! (:

    • @Daniboy27
      @Daniboy27 7 лет назад +8

      Fully agree. Specially because - as you point out - of the variety of his playing, the different guitars he uses.

      Robin Stephenson He's got the real deal genuine feel ... whether writing or playing ... just one of the coolest guys in the world!

      INDIE GEMS THAT JAM and he doesn't OVERplay, something lost on most guitarists....

    • @robertcheatle2685
      @robertcheatle2685 6 лет назад +13

      I love his guitar playing, but the point that is made similarly elsewhere, is that he keeps it simple, beautifully delivered and in perfect keeping with the song and his wonderful story telling lyrics. This combined with the wide range of topics and styles is what sets him apart. Best guitarist, there are many nominations for that, but widely read, modest and most complete performer, now that is much better summary of this amazing man.

  • @prateekjain7423
    @prateekjain7423 3 года назад +32

    I can listen to him speak all day long. Pure love.

  • @nantague
    @nantague 3 года назад +36

    Loved every moment of this. I genuinely believe that Mark still doesn't know how good he is. Because he is always in the process of becoming.

    • @RobMacKendrick
      @RobMacKendrick Год назад +3

      Shows in his work. He has so many genres, so many voices.

  • @BlueButterfly7777
    @BlueButterfly7777 5 месяцев назад +3

    I have loved Mark since the early Dire Straits. Such a nice guy. Met him after a Sailing to Philadelphia show in 2002. It was drizzling. He signed my concert booklet and told me to be careful not to "smuudge" (his accent) his signature in black marker. He truly cared that it not get ruined for me by the light rain. I'll love him forever.

  • @MercedesCruz-qe1nj
    @MercedesCruz-qe1nj 4 месяца назад +5

    In these times of awful news and turmoil everywhere, is good to hear your voice. It reminds us of our own youth, our trials and errors and finally our triumphs in life. Thank you, Mark. ❤❤❤

  • @walidnouraldin6792
    @walidnouraldin6792 8 лет назад +38

    Elegant is the first word that I think of when I listen to any of Mark's songs , the greatest musician by all means

    • @dank8865
      @dank8865 4 года назад +3

      I think it's because, if you pay attention to how well spoken and soft spoken he is, he is an elegant human being.

  • @OCnStiggs
    @OCnStiggs 7 лет назад +4

    The main reason Mark is so good, despite all the fame, is he hasn't forgotten his roots. These little vignettes are so great in sharing that with his equally gray-haired fans. Thanks for all the joy you have brought us Mark.

    I really like this album, every song is a classic. Beautifully played, well written and sung. The songs are like story books. Mark paints a multilayered painting with this album. His career is constant high quality.

  • @Rick_Hoppe
    @Rick_Hoppe 2 года назад +12

    17:01 - I love his observation of the experience of creating songs, “They have to be dealt with on their own terms, like people.”
    I’ve always felt, in creating any artwork, you have the germ of an idea and you get a little bit of it down. From then on, the development of the piece is much like a conversation.

  • @nicolasboehm1673
    @nicolasboehm1673 5 лет назад +7

    Very impressive and very interesting.......Mark is a genius in terms of his songwriting, guitar playing and music production....fascinating that so many of his songs are based on memories from his life.........shows great attention to detail and has the advantage of a good memory....the variety he presents in his playing and songwriting is brilliant........and for such a successful musician he still remains humble and close to his roots......so many things to be grateful for

    I just love listening to you talk about your music...you are so passionate about it...you have a talent that inspires all of us in the art world, not just singers and song writers which I am neither...I draw and I paint better than some and not as good as others...and your music and your passion about it inspires me in creating my own works...you have an amazing singing voice and watching you play the guitar is fascinating to me. I love music most forms of it (I really don't care for rap but even some of that I like) and I really love listening to most of your music both from your Dire Straits years and your more recent works and I cant draw with out it..thank you Mark you are the best in my book... and that is the only book that matters to me
