Brian is a 50's child and came up the hard way, he's a lovely man, kind and appreciative. no ego just a decent bloke who deserves the wealth and success he has earnt .
Mark Knopfler is not only a divine guitarist but also an authentic poet and supreme songwriter. Sailing to Philadelphia is a masterpiece for music and lyrics. Thanks Brian, beautiful interview.
i have the old cassette of neck to neck, back then i was amazed at his fingerstyle playing. to play next to chet atkins you had to be great and mr knopfler was that and more. unreal
@@jodyguilbeaux8225 Yeah, Neck and Neck is an elegant and exquisite album. Mark duets with the legendary Chet. In "There'll be some changes to made" is possible admire the MK's magnificent fingerpicking on a acoustic guitar. His style, his technique and his improvvisation are amazing, incredible and absolutely distinctive.
It's the amazing way he can capture a moment in history and write a song about it in such an expressive and eloquent way. Observational as well, Money for Nothing. :-D
Thanks for all the love and support. I am blown away by the love from ya'll. I know these are hard times but with love and faith we shall all see the light again 🥰❤️❤️. Love you 🤗.
too humble, there's a clip of him with the band on howard stern where they played live acoustic, his singing was so on point it was a lesson to anybody.
I'm sure I saw a video where Brian was living in Orlando and all his neighbours told stories of him spending most of his time giving money and supporting local charities...??? Edit... He lives/lived in Sarasota Florida...
Totally agree. Prior to seeing his show I just saw him as a rock star and almost a bit of a caricature, which is not to say that I didn’t love him and AC/DC, but he’s so much more. Truly an amazing conversationalist and someone who spreads love wherever he goes. And a hugger to boot 👍.
Lads, please do an album of duets. Just be yourselves, just like this. You simply radiate the most warmly affirming of emotions. Thanks for doing these, Brian. Just love it.
I have not always been the biggest AC/DC fan, but when I see Brian Johnson as touched and moved by Mark Knopfler’s music as I am I can’t help but smile.
I've surely loved them both, at different times of my life. When I was child, I probably ruined my hearing to AC/DC's "Back in Black" on a pair of my dad's Pioneer headphones (no regrets!). As a 50-something year old man, Mark just speaks to something deep inside me, especially once I've had a Scotch or two. Two legends....no question. They both sing to different parts of my soul. Seeing them together is pure magic.
It's just like two old friends who haven't seen each other in years trying to sign and play while trying to remember the lyrics. It just doesn't get any better
Nice meeting you Fan--Thanks for supporting my Dream and Carrier--May God Almighty continue to bless you always. I hope you never stop listening to my music... I would like to have some words with you your heart are so pure email me at brianjohnso30@gmail.com
So many of Mark Knopfler's tunes are stories set to music. From the first Dire Straits album and through his entire career he told stories, while playing some of the most wonderful guitar I've ever heard. ;-)
That is what a true songwriter is imo. Bob Dylan, the late Leonard Cohen, Joni Mitchell, Tracy Chapman and Gordon Lightfoot are also wonderful songwriters and able to tell a story
I almost felt like I was there in America in the early days. I could feel the wind & the morning sun in the Delaware. I have never in my long life felt so transported to another place & time. Magic.
Knopfler is not only one of the greatest guitarist of human history, I think he's a complete guitarist...I mean he can play all different kinds of guitars with total perfection with an unique style....but he also was and still is one of the greatest poets in music history. Just the way he writes, the way he sings, those beautiful and amazing licks he always does playing any guitar with his fingers. Mark Knopfler is the full package with any guitar on his hands. God bless Knopler's right thumb.
Same here. My mum’s family came from Silvertown before it was bombed to pieces during WWII and I imagine it was a magical place (even though times were tough and money was scarce).

@brambaas999 Thought that was the animals who sang that , The "rising sun" was a Colliery near where they grew up . Its also a pub which is still open .
Mark Knopfler is above all a great songwriter. He has received a lot of attention for his virtuosity on the guitar, and rightfully so, but his lyrics and compositions put him in the company of people like Bob Dylan, Neil Young, and James Taylor. My personal favorite is his Shanrgi-La album. It's really grown on me over the years - and I still regularly listen in the car or when working.
I think my favourite is Get Lucky, although I'd have to say the same about most of his records. Another favourite song is "Done with Bonaparte", where he says "I pray my child will never see, a little corporal again, point to a foreign shore, captivate the hearts of men". I think that line never gets old.
I really don't like it when the interviewer has no clue of the artist or actor they are interviewing and thus the entire interview is boring and almost pointless. This on the other hand is just wonderful to see. Brian's eyes lit up like a happy child when he was singing this. It's on his bucket list too! So beautiful!
Brian had a TV show where he interviewed other Music icons. Very down to earth and enjoyable. The one interview I found the best was the one with Mark. I love Mark’s genius but never heard him speak to his passion before this. The both of them were like kids having fun. Great guys!!!
this is one of the most beautiful things I have ever seen. and I have always had such different feelings about either artist. never expected to see Brian and Mark in the same room together, yet here they are talking about one of Mark's best songs. beautiful.
53 here. Grew up with AC/DC. I now know more about one of the elements in the band band that made it such a great band. Mark K. a genius of a composer, and you both looks like you have been best friends all your life. Great chemistry between you both.
Absolutely, It was a line that always grabbed me as it makes you think about why the capes would be raising..... they were sitting offshore waiting for the rising tide to fill the harbor and as the tide rose the capes would appear rising on the horizon..... such a great line!!!
Also, the harmony of this part is wonderful, changing from minor to major keys. In his latest live versions this „hopeful“ passage of the raise of capes is underlined by John McCuskers flute. Amazing writing and arranging!
I feel privileged to part of the music, born in ‘55’ in a time like this. Ok, people in their generation may feel the same but will the legends of the past 70 years or so, ever be repeated, from rock n roll, to country, R & B to mowtown, jazz , pop, heavy metal tecehnotronic and MTV, to name but a few…..not so sure.
I love and admire Mark Knopfler. On Brian - I was lucky as 16 year old kid to have backstage passes to see AC/DC in Glasgow and was then and still am now a huge fan. He treated me like royalty and was so kind and generous with his time to that skinny kid and gave me a beating on the space invaders machine in the bar area at the old Glasgow Apollo, as we left the venue! A more lovely and genuine man you could never wish to meet. All these years later, thank you Brian. Still my hero. 💙❤️
There is nothing on mainstream TV or in the press did Springsteen no say 57 channels and nothing on. Thou it looks like he has lost the place now. Never mind when you get a bit older it's allowed even if you end up looking like a bit of a fool
TV was the coveted jeweled goblet - the false grail - of psychotic narcissistic sociopaths, who once groveled for a one-minute slot on an open mic in seedy downtown Philadelphia bars. It’s become a defunct hand-me-down in the wake of this new medium where the conscientious among us can choose what we want to see and hear - at least until it’s handed over by unscrupulous shrinking-violet executives to the woke mob.
Geordie pride here, two of our greatest sons! One from Gosforth and the other from Dunston, both sides of the River Tyne represented. Knopfler, the supreme lyricist/ songwriter/ guitarist. And Johnna front man to one of the greatest ever rock bands.
i love brian singing non acdc style --id love him to do an album of songs like this far more touching and introspective is something like this he has the voice but i think you dont get the seriousness like this in acdc
Nice meeting you Fan--Thanks for supporting my Dream and Carrier--May God Almighty continue to bless you always. I hope you never stop listening to my music🎶🎶... I would like to have some words with you your heart❤️are so pure email me at brianjohnso30@gmail.com
howay you two old geordies.......what memories you stir......you might have the Spanish City, but me ? I was born a stones throw from the Grotto right beside Marsden Rock ..... you've dug a wide hole in me head and lettin' oot the dark past, thanks for the look back !
Love this, my dad always loved ACDC and Mark Knopfler and is the reason i love this kind of music as he would always been listening to stuff like this. This song in particular i remember us driving up to do delivery's for a company we worked at and it brings me straight back to this, we would also have a good few ACDC songs too :).
seriously, it makes me cry to hear Mark speak so about his songs I bought the first in 1979 and all my friends said, what the hell is that? and I said, Mozart with a Strat it took 30 yrs before any of my friends got it
I really love these short vignettes from Brian! I also can’t believe that I am saying that Mark Knopfler is underrated after he was such a guitar monster in the 80s. His music is superlative.
@@tonybelmonte1724 I think you misunderstood my point unfortunately. To you, obviously a fan if you are watching this, he is not underrated. I would disagree that everyone knows he is a musical genius even if they have heard (unlikely for people under 40) of Dire Straits. Most younger music fans don't know names beyond Jimi and Jimmy.
@@tonybelmonte1724 His solo career is totally underrated. “All The Road Running” is an AMAZING album, and most people I mention it to have never heard of it and lost track of MN in the 90’s.
Wow... This song always moved me but hearing Mark talk about his connection is really amazing...makes it personal. Gotta love Brian and this entire mission. It has been really fantastic to see the world of music from his perspective. Cheers!
Brian...a man who was in the right place, at the right time. Probably realises that himself and seems to be so grateful for the life he has had....and honoured to be in great company. Feet firmly on the ground. Such a nice guy. Knopfler is one of my favourite guitarists too. A genius and unique style of writing and playing. Marvellous clip of these two.
WAO, i have no word. Mark Knopler music , song and guitar style is touching my soul sraightly since the fist time i hear it. And here, seeing Brian Jonhson listenning him like a basic fan with an absolute and total admiration , nothing fake.Just 2 guys on earth among others in a room....But it's Mark Knopfler and Brian Johnson.
Brian Johnson's interviews with various artists are absolutely superb. The one with Robert Plant is excellent. But the one with Mark Knopfler is where you can see Brian is most at ease. A brilliant watch.
thats unbelievable... how those two guys are.... :-) both of em true legends of rock but also so down to earth and cool. never seen something like this before... legends... just legends
I first started obsessively listening to Mark Knopfler 30+ years ago. I'm old enough now that this hits me on a visceral level. Two (now) elder statesmen of popular music, reflecting on the beauty of words and song. Brian's obvious love for Mark's craft is so endearing - and this short video is such a gift.
Wonderful series and this one in particular ... two Geordies in Newcastle .... I love this song by Mark ... the way Mark strums and picks is so effortless .... Brian would love to see you bring in Sting with you and Mark shootin the breeze in Newcastle ... guitars in hand ....
My Dad absolutely loved this song, he obviously related but we would sit together happily singing along quietly to the "sailing to philadelphia" album. What it is, silver town blues ......gems!
I get the impression that Brian is almost always on the verge of tears because of how much he loves life. Seems like a genuine and decent man.
I bet his tinnitus is awful though!
Brian is a 50's child and came up the hard way, he's a lovely man, kind and appreciative. no ego just a decent bloke who deserves the wealth and success he has earnt .

You should check out House Of The Rising Sun by the band Geordie. It's a great song by Brian before he joined AC/DC!

Another favourite song is "Done with Bonaparte", where he says "I pray my child will never see, a little corporal again, point to a foreign shore, captivate the hearts of men". I think that line never gets old.
So listen to the live version of shangri la from the avo session. I was there and had tears in my eyes! Never heard something that beautiful before!
My heroes are Roger Waters, Otis Redding, Eric Clapton and Van Morrison. They have courage.
Only a great musician can conduct such a soulful interview with another legendary musician. 💚 for you Mark and Brian

It's the different voices of Knopfler and James Taylor in their original recording that makes this such a beautifully constructed song.
Absolutely!
How happy Brian was to sing that song with Mark Knopfler. Wow

To be in that room when this was filmed. Pure human connection, amazing stuff seeing two iconic legends being just natural. Loved it
Mark's touch with melody and words is truly beautiful
Never felt so proud to be a Geordie as I do right now. Thanks bonny lads.
My favorite Guitarist of all. Melody runs deep with this one.
Brian and also me here trying to hold tears - that song is that beautiful. ❤
I first started obsessively listening to Mark Knopfler 30+ years ago. I'm old enough now that this hits me on a visceral level. Two (now) elder statesmen of popular music, reflecting on the beauty of words and song. Brian's obvious love for Mark's craft is so endearing - and this short video is such a gift.
Mark is my God, when he will gone, I'll die inside.
Mark has never been complimentary of his voice. But Jesus, it really hits the spot. Every time.
Legends
Wonderful series and this one in particular ... two Geordies in Newcastle .... I love this song by Mark ... the way Mark strums and picks is so effortless .... Brian would love to see you bring in Sting with you and Mark shootin the breeze in Newcastle ... guitars in hand ....
And I love how Brian Johnson had meeting Mark Knopfler and singing with him, as one of his bucket list items, what a legend, both of them!!
Thanks for providing a warm soulful feeling today.
My Dad absolutely loved this song, he obviously related but we would sit together happily singing along quietly to the "sailing to philadelphia" album. What it is, silver town blues ......gems!
Mark is the best musician I know. I like him.
Fantastic! Mark & Dire forever...
