What I would ask is whether the members of Dire Straits besides Mark were on salary or whether it was a profit-sharing arrangement; and, if the latter, among exactly whom and what the split was.
John Illsley was the perfect bassist to complement Mark Knopfler's guitar style. MK solo is good, but, I hear MK's solo works, the bass is never quite right. MK never should have dissolved Dire Straits, or somehow kept John on for the solo works
Consumers are hugely lazy and ignorant. They dont go out of their way to discover culture, they expect it shovelled to them by youtube or Spotify etc. Artists *can* avoid scoundrels like Spotify, but listeners wont go anywhere else 😕
I was in row 10 center for the Oakland Coleseum show approx 92? BEST SHOW I EVER SAW/HEARD!! they way they started Calling Elvis was just insanely good!
The best interviews are the ones without the egos
I interviewed John for French local radio a real gentleman he treated me with great respect.
Great interview. Let me say, Australia loves John too. Dire Straits and John as a solo artist are much loved Down Under.
Very much so. Regards from Adelaide 🇨🇰
What a lovely couple of gentlemen thank you
@@aliampb6949 That really most kind. Thanks for tuning in.
One of the great bass players of our time.
Great interview. John comes over very humble, love his solo work.
He was a complete gentleman, you might enjoy this with his mate Guy Fletcher ua-cam.com/video/cEL0HZRJ_FE/v-deo.htmlsi=Z8Msjb53cYtDHx4I
Great interview, and John's book is really good too.

Sensational!
I always wonder why the white goods delivery guy in that shop didn’t come forward and claim writing credits…

Dire Straits would give you an album of great and diverse songs. MK solo albums ... two good songs and squeak-byer.
👏👏👏👏👏👏💞💞
Hi, is your channel still going? It's great that you got this interview done?
It certainly is!
RUBBISH youtube needs to get rid of ads because no-one watches them. 8 ads in the space of 35 minutes is poor sorry
Wait till Elon buys them! Hes gonna reclup all the lost Tesla stock $$
Worthwhile to pay...there's so much amazing info on you tbe
No adds, no UA-cam 🤔
👏👏👏👏👏👌👍
Sorry in the broader sense religion drives people apart. Fine within the same religion but other than that just can’t agree with John.
