Even Mark will say he is not the worlds greatest guitarist,BUT he surely is one of the best songwriters ever.Up there with Paul Simon, L& M etc.Just love him ❤
MARK you'll always be Number One in my book 📖 ♥. It's a honor 🎖 and deserve for all the accomplishments you achieved through out the years. GOD BLESS YOU & YOUR FAMILY 👪 🙏 thanks for ENTERTAINING us all these Years MARK KNOPFLER .absolutely 👍
I would not rely on American press to tell me what good music is, movies - yes, music - far from it!!!! And a lot of Americans have expressed the same sentiment to me too - obviously, not the establishment people.
Not really. He consistently turns up at the top of various guitar player polls and surveys. Naturally this will wax and wane depending on tours and releases, but he is quite well respected here in the states.
Highlights from this strange video: Mark was born in Glass-cow. He is "quite well" at playing guitar. He has a unique finger picking style... which he uses when playing guitar... lol. As opposed to using it when? He was in the Dire band. And had a hit song Swing of the Sultans. 😅
My favorite band by far. I've been to mk 6 times and 3 times to the straits. I have never seen dire straits unfortunately. Discovered them just after their brake up...too bad.
Interesting background on Mark Knopfler, whose music I have certainly enjoyed over the years. I felt this video spent a bit too much time featuring his cars, but I'm sure many viewers liked it. I'm about the same age as Mr. Knopfler but my net worth is nowhere near his. And for those who are interested, I drive a 2014 Hyundai Elantra GT. (Yes, you can laugh here).
...and his real net worth is nowhere near the figure cited in the clip. Just imagine the income from 250 DS annual concerts etc.. However, all this sort of social gossip is stupid, certainly in MK's eyes.
Aren't there just 50 of those and all personally numbered and signed by Mark too? Oh what wouldn't we all give to own one even though we know we could never get it to sound like Mark? 😎
Since Dire Straits first álbum... Knew Sultans of Swing by the a Station Radio and some few school friends.. In 78..I had 14 years old.. Some Saturday's night was organizing parties in my school and others.. No Disco's, we had not age, only for up from 21 years old.. Sultans of Swing Always was playing... After this bought the second album, the third, then Alchemy, was a Flash to everyone.. Etc.. Got lucky to see Dire Straits last tour.. Alvalade Stadium Lisboa in may.. Missed the Bishop Bless of Economics PHD between the others phd.. In the concert was in front of stage with some friends, one told something to a tall guy in front to put over, they started to "fight".. The crowd stay away.. Mark Knopfler playing the first song Calling Elvis and I saw that he was seeing the "show".. I take off the sneakers of the tall guy, trough them away and sundely he calm down.. Then, in 98 saw Him in solo, with Golden Heart in bullfight stadium Cascais.. Still hear sometimes the albuns... Remember in a interwiew, long time ago, about his music influences, and one of the great ones was JJ Cale.. I was surprised, but not very much yeap, his way of play... Keith Richards is the Riff Master.. Stones fan but the great albuns were with Mick Taylor Got almost JJ Cale albuns, before Mark Knopfler saying this.. I had 20 years when I bought #8, amazing, and then the others.. Saw in UA-cam Brian Johnson talking, they are friends, AC/DC great because of Angus Young.. Style bands, like Classic Music.. Money for Nothing was a great hit everywhere, Disco's etc.. Played with Clapton and he "KO" him, only Mark Knopfler can play it.. The great guitar players have his own wonderful style.. A fabulous guitar player, with his own way to play, the picking.. Jeff Beck was the same, fabulous too but more eclétic music and no vocals.. Dire Straits come up with New Wave music generation, Clash from punk but they improve after.. Lot of great bands.. But great and unique guitar player a few, Mark Knopfler is one of them.. Nowadays I just can't see, so far away.. No great guitar players long time ago... This videos finished with cars, great ones, but everyone got a Mercedes, which I don't like, never one of the stars got a Alfa Romeo, I'm a fan off them.. The classics are fabulous and the Giulia is the best sport car ever..
"THE Best Selling album of all time?" Dude, it's a masterpiece but not even CLOSE to the top selling album of all time! It BARELY even in the top 10 in England lmao. It trails "Thriller" by 33 Million copies! This is a case of trying too hard to score UA-cam hits at the risk of publishing bad, inaccurate vids. Which is hard on fans, including me, who worships them and him as my favorite of all time!
Best all around musician of all time. Also owns British Grove Studios, one of the highest acclaimed recording studios in the business. I know he also owned a Ferrari 250swb at some point (a $5 million + car on its own).
He was mesmerised by Chet Atkins and had to know how to play like him my dad played exactly like Chet Atkins and he taught me how to do it when I was a young teenager it took years for me to figure out how to keep that thumb thumping on them top strings while I was picking out a strong with my fingers on the lower strings. Like Mark said you have to tape your fingers to the guitar while you're playing with your phone that's the only way he could figure out how to do it. I figured out how to do it just washing my dad side-by-side trying to figure out how he can keep that phone beat and pick up the songs with his fingers. I still do it today and hundreds of people have asked me to take them and I try the hardest I can but I can't make them do it they have to do it themselves just something this in my DNA I guess I picked it up but I can't seem to teach other people to do it. I go to jam sessions and places at bars and stuff and play my music and people will stand in front of me and asked me how in the hell do you do that and I just tell them practice practice practice and that's exactly what Mark will tell people you just have to do it over and over. Mark will tell people and I will tell you the same thing you have to practice 8 to 10 hours a day to learn how to play like this and he did and I did I just didn't take it to the point where I could write music and be famous but I love to play the guitar and hear the music I can make a mimic Chet Atkins I can play all of the songs and I just love to see around and play it I don't have a desire to make music professionally.
Met all the guys at the Spanish city in the seventies before they formed dire straits. Mark is a quietly spoken guy easy to talk to his talent grew and grew they got taken buy suprise the MTV rocketed them to stardom on a rollercoaster beond belief he was told at a guaitar shop early on when looking at a guitar in newcastle you break that I will break you wonder if he ever went back and bought the shop .mark infact has a house down on the south coast.
It might be a UK stat, not specified in video. Was ranked number 8 all time best selling in UK in year 2016 I think. This video is from May 2021 actually? Not a high quality script or narration maybe.
Why do these programmes spent more than half the time going on about people’s cars ? Less on his talent and so much about his bloody cars ! Love the advert for Much Ado about Nothing !
Did you deliberately write this narrative to be extra discombobulated? I thought of the term "word salad" as it's so confusing, but if you plan to release videos on UA-cam, PLEASE have a person who understands English listen to it first. It's so bad that it's repellant, especially to fans of Mark Knopfler. It has so many mistakes, in odd places, that it seems to be deliberate, and even malicious. Could this be a robot? The term "Talking (empty)Head" occurred to me, too. PLEASE stop the drivel.
How can you do a journalism degree in only 1 year ? Don’t think that’s correct ! Local Hero is a lovely film ! Love the bit about the rabbit being knocked over , the American who does it then thinks the hotel owner will look after it, but it ends up in the pot !
Just imagine ? I was in Leeds in 1969 to 1970 attending english corses for strangers. Was living on the way of Harrogate Road , Primly Park Avenue . And I must have met him in "Odeon" , dancing in the podium together !
He’s a legend. I still play his music every day and will in my nursing home.
“Knopfler is quite well at playing guitar”-what an understatement
Who wrote and edited this it's so bad
W T F Mark K is in the top 5, Jimi, Slow ✋, I'm chokin over here, Eddie V, ...... I'll be back....
He can play the guitar, I'll give him that.
marks THE BEST
he can play the honkey tonk like anything
Even Mark will say he is not the worlds greatest guitarist,BUT he surely is one of the best songwriters ever.Up there with Paul Simon, L& M etc.Just love him ❤
I was so in love wit mark when I was young.. love his music ..one of the best guitar players of all time..
My favorite musician of all time - truly brilliant.
He is a gifted musician. Incredible and extraordinary performance in all his albums...
Happy birthday wishes to Mark Knopfler. 💐🥰

In my book Mark Knopfler is the greatest guitarist on the planet!
6:22 “Swings of the sultan” lmao I’m laughing so hard
I Love Mark Knopfler!!! 🎸🎶❤️
I love Mark knopfler so much 💕🌷💕❤🎸🎸
The best guitarist!
Mark is my favorite.
Been a fan of Dire Straits & Mark since 1980, was lucky to see their concerts about 8 times, great memories
I love their '85 live aid rendition of Sultans! Good for you you got to see them!
Who writes these propaganda channels? MK is a world wide treasure and his guitar skills and music writing is a gift to humanity.
My hero
What a guy! FANTASTIC guitar player,singer/songwriter. AND HE USES HIS FAME FOR GOOD. WHAT A GREAT GUY!!!!!
Mark - simply the best .
No, Tina Turner 😅
He deserves his lifestyle❤❤❤❤
Jimi inovou com seu estilo explosivo, mas sem dúvida, o poeta da guitarra é Mark
MARK you'll always be Number One in my book 📖 ♥. It's a honor 🎖 and deserve for all the accomplishments you achieved through out the years. GOD BLESS YOU & YOUR FAMILY 👪 🙏 thanks for ENTERTAINING us all these Years MARK KNOPFLER .absolutely 👍
All what he has from wealthy are nothing beside his talent, nothing compare to Mark... 💖🎸🎶🎵🎹🎷💖👏👏👏👏👏
The LEGEND......FROM FRANCE😉😉😉😉
Magnifico Mark Knopler
Muchas gracias por compartir tu música y tu talento Gracias 🙏 el ETERNO te bendiga siempre 🙏. Fuerte abrazo desde México.
Very good taste in guitars, houses and cars. Great musician !!
Most of us could improve our taste in guitars houses and cars if we had a similar budget as Mark.
@@freddykabulaschnitza2475 lmao !!.. So funny but so true
Mark is so under rated for his guitar by this American press, he is a legend up here in Scotland and North East of England
He's not underrated by anyone who knows anything about music
I would not rely on American press to tell me what good music is, movies - yes, music - far from it!!!! And a lot of Americans have expressed the same sentiment to me too - obviously, not the establishment people.

@@ronniboi312 right 👍
Mark underrated ?? Not at all
Super Mark 💯💯💯❤❤❤
"Main reason for the fame of the Dire band..." "Knopfler is quite well at playing guitar..." Wow. Who programmed the robot that wrote this drivel?!
"Glass Gowe, Scotland."
Absolute garbage isn't it. So many factual inaccuracies.
The best among the best.
My favorite band and my favorite player guitar 🎸🇧🇷👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
Me too
Always have liked Mark. Seem to have similar taste in cars. Of all those, I'd take that Porsche in a heartbeat.
Highlights from this strange video:
Mark was born in Glass-cow.
He is "quite well" at playing guitar.
He has a unique finger picking style... which he uses when playing guitar... lol. As opposed to using it when?

😅
Ah, the old Glass Cow.
Not quite as well known as it's later used cousin, the Trojan Horse.
cotton pickin' I guess? berries maybe? :)
you wrote them down.. i heard a bunch too lol yes, Dire band lol
And the ending!
A brilliant guitarist
One of the best
Volim da čujem i vidim sve što ima veze sa Mark Knopflerom i Dire Straits, naravno..🎶🎸👍
I love MK! 💓💓🤗👀🎸🎶👑❗
Bravo :)
He was born as Mark Freuder Knopfler in 1949 and his
father was Hungarian, but due to his Jewish origins his father had left
the country in 1939.
Watcha gonna do with all them fancy cars? 😊
My favorite band by far. I've been to mk 6 times and 3 times to the straits. I have never seen dire straits unfortunately. Discovered them just after their brake up...too bad.
Best youtuber ever
He’s best known as Mark Knopfler.
Been a fan since they first emerged here in England, but listening to this awful narrator drives me nuts!
Kermit the frog
Right... "Swings of the Sultan" is a star phrase!
A son of Scotland 🏴 great band
I love you Mark Knopfler ❤🎸
I love this man so much. He is the best. My gorgeous
This is most bitiful word you put together for internet cominity. I love dis comment so much I gloo it to door in offic. Thenk som uch.
Quite well? Quite well?! I heard he can play every chord that exists and all really very well.
No that's guitar George.. He knows all the chords, but he's strictly rhythm, he doesn't want to make it cry or sing..!!!
@@ronniboi312🤣
@6.20 ....'his song 'swings of the sultan' - I must of missed that one!!!(LOL)
Sou muito fã desse guitarrista! Ouço suas músicas praticamente todos os dias. 👏👏👏👏
Eternal love and music = MK
A big hug to you and your family.
You have slaughtered us Sir?
Although i love Marks styles and Techniques two other of my favorite Guitaristsare EricClapton and Craig Chaquico
That Austin Heatley is a nostalgia trip.
ranked 27th on all time list, do me a favour he can get a guitar to do the shopping list and sound unique. hes a GOAT
Notice his driver was Sir Sterling Moss.
Spelling: Stirling
Un poeta de la guitarra un mago ❤❤❤❤❤
"Swings of the Sultan" ... huh?
No swinging here? My intentions have been clear since the We project
seriously
This sounds like it was written by a chatbot.
Il tocco magico che dà alla 🎸 Mark è magico! X me rimane Un FENOMENO!!!!✌️✌️✌️✌️

Where is the fact, that he wrote Private Dancer for Tina Turner?
His grammar classes paid off.
There must be a great deal of difficulty in driving all those cars...Seriously he's a great guitarist to say the very least!
💌 from germany 💌
From Hungary
Where is the rest of the vid?
He also owns a house in the new forest. I’ve contributed to his wealth, bought 4 albums and a t-shirt.
If it wasn't for their fans buying their records or going to their gigs musicians would be forced to have ordinary jobs or claim dole money.
If you listened to those four albums, you got your investment back in spades and that is all that was due to you.
And the Mark Knopfler sig Gibson les paul !
Aren't there just 50 of those and all personally numbered and signed by Mark too? Oh what wouldn't we all give to own one even though we know we could never get it to sound like Mark? 😎

One of the most interesting facts about Mark, which was not mentioned, is that a dinosaur is named after him.
Watch with captions on at around 10 seconds and you’ll see this video is about mark nobler.

So many cars... So he needs all this "money for nothing" to buy "heavy fuel" "on every street". And then he says "Love over gold".
This commentary is so poorly written and organized. Mark deserves better.
I agree
What a dreadful commentary. Mark met a deadly motorbike accident! No he didn’t - he’s still alive! 😂
Met all the guys at the Spanish city in the seventies before they formed dire straits. Mark is a quietly spoken guy easy to talk to his talent grew and grew they got taken buy suprise the

Just for the record he attended Bearsden a primary school.
He said to me as I was leaving, "Keep at it".
Uh. That would be “knopfler is quite good at playing guitar”
New song never heard before.....swing of sultans?? 🤔
Best selling album in history (at least the 20rh Century), was Hotel California. Not Brothers in Arms, good as that album is.

Swings of the sultan?
what is unforgivable when reporting on Mark Knopfler is forgetting his work with Chet Atkins.
He has a daytime job he is doing alright....
5:18 I'm not sure the narrator understands the word "deadly"
Yes, thank goodness it wasn't deadly!
I am not sure if you understand the word illegal harassment?

If quite well means genius, I can only agree to this definition of the word
