Sting did sing on the Studio Album, and was credited as a co-writer as the "I want my MTV" bit that Sting sings is to the tune of "Don't stand so close to me" which he wrote.
@@lindabergman3127What I hadn't mentioned was that one reason Mark wanted Sting for the part is not only he wanted it to use the music from "Don't stand so close to me" but also the Police did a promo for MTV where he said "I want my MTV."
Mark Knopfler sold more than 120 million albums and tens of millions of albums were released. These are the greats in the 80's and 90's were played constantly on MTV'24 uur muziek stadion television all over the world 'phenomenal band. Just take a look at the best selling record and he plays the guitar so fantastic. thank you for taking me back to my younger years 'ps I have all their cd albums here in my closet. now that I've heard this again I'm going to play them 'Ceep going🤘👍👍❤
Yes, Yes, Sting is on the Original Money for Nothing, you have to see the video. That album Brothers in Arms is incredible and sold many millions of copies. Also on the same night Paul McCartney comes out to do a great mini set, search for him at Concert for Montserrat. Amazing show, Note Ray Cooper going nuts on percussion. Enjoy! 🎸
Mark Knopfler, Sting, Phil Collins, Eric Clapton and Ray Cooper!! Later bringing on Paul McCartney and Elton John in the same concert. In my opinion, one of the best concert lineups since live aid
The story goes that during the recording of Money for Nothing Mark Knopfler was ready to can the song. Then one night Neil Dorfsman (the producer) and Guy Fletcher (the keyboard player) went and worked on the synth sounds to get them perfect. The next morning Knopfler heard them and promptly ripped that legendary intro solo and the rest is history.
Yeah, Mark stopped singing the original ones when he realised how offensive they were and has substituted a number of other words in over the years. I think this one was the first time I'd heard 'maggot' though.
Es increíble el feeling de CLAPTON-KNOPFLER simplemente con una mirada se comunicaban en el escenario, impresionante!!! Reaccionen a Layla - Eric Clapton with Knopfler, Collins, etc
Yes!! Epic- I just wish Suzie (sp) would have known the original prior- PLEASE guys- react to “Money for Nothing “ by Dire Straits- While you’re at it.. “Sultans of Swing” by Dire Straits is a MUST! ONLY the live from alchemy version- please- it WILL blow your socks slap off!!! Promise!!! 💙💚👍✌️
Sultans of Swing in my all time favorite of Dire Straights but Mark Knoplher is in my top 3 guitarist and that doesn't matter to other people but if you knew how much music I listen to you would understand what I'm talking about .
@@wendellburkhart8297 what do you mean? I do get understand-my boyfriend plays bass and guitar and is VERY familiar will all guitarist- his top favorite was/is Randy Rhodes- however, also believes Mark Knophner is at the top-
This is just fun. Mark wrote this song listening to workers talking in an appliance store. Who would think of that! The beat is fantastic. Great collaboration. Sting did an amazing job. Dire Straits did the original.❤
Money for Nothing - the single greatest song from the 80s. It completely encapsulated the essence of the MTV era. You MUST react to the original video!
So, the story behind the lyrics is that Mark was in a electronics store, and the guy was watching a music video on TV and was basically talking shit saying “do you guys are making money for doing basically nothing“. So the lyrics of what he was saying about the guys on TV is apparently a direct quote from this man including the lines in the chorus. Oh yeah, it was in New York City!
2 of the 5 greatest Rock n Roll guitarists of all time, Mark Knopfler and Eric Clapton, along with the legendary Sting and Phil Collins....Musicians of today couldn't even open the show for these 4......lol
I had never seen this collaboration. Thanks for doing it. Though, I have to say, the full original video is still my favorite version. I like the opening of it way better than the opening of this one. Again, glad to see this one, but sorry, the original is way better.
How Cool is this to also have Phil Collins on Drums again. Speaking of Phil, You should watch his live concert ( In The Air Tonight ). Big, Big Surprise in it !!!!
Definitely got to do reaction to the music video for money for nothing I agree it is the greatest music video of all time. Was the first ever music video to be played on mtv Europe in 1985 played on a Gibson les Paul jr with a fixed wah wah pedal and a distortion pedal on through a Marshall amplifier to get that sound one of the most iconic guitar riffs of all time
Sting sang on his own and with The Police. He doesn't sing with Mark Knopfler and Dire Straights. These are all artists that have played and sung with other bands--collaborating.
Unfortunately, I do not know the name of the gentleman on percussion But he is a Big Deal! Any huge musical event, he is The Percussionist. He is also a blast to watch. I was able to see him when he was on Elton John’s tour.
As has been said, you need to watch Sultans of Swing by Dire Straits from the Alchemy concert, Mark is unbelievable in that performance, also Mark and Eric duet Layla at this concert, check it out too.
Listen and react to Beste Zangers 2021 Anneke van Giersbergen sing "Sobreviviré". She translated it into english. Also listen and react to Karsu on this show sing "Hije de la luna". You will like both songs..
probably need to do the original video so you can hear the lyrics. make sure you do the one where the "george michael" verse is included. I believe in the US this verse was omitted for using the word "faggot".
The amount of talent on this stage could light up a continent.
❤❤❤❤❤❤
More talent on that stage than in the whole music industry these days. Yes, Sting sings background on the original version.
The "talent" today wouldnt be able to do this due over inflated egos
Totally agree non better
True story
2024 and I still agree lol
That’s the truth !
Two of the greatest guitarists of all time, and arguably one of the top 5 greatest drummers of all time.
Also Ray Cooper on percussion.
When I saw Clapton live back in the eighties, he had Knopfler backing him up. This song was their encore.
Sting did sing on the Studio Album, and was credited as a co-writer as the "I want my MTV" bit that Sting sings is to the tune of "Don't stand so close to me" which he wrote.
Awesome I didn’t know that😯❤️

ps. sold more than 120 million complete albums 'no singles eh .Albums of 18 treks on it and they are all pearls👍👍💙🤘❤
Mark is great on a Strat, but when the '59 Les Paul comes out you know you are in for a treat. And yes, Sting does sing on the studio version.
Mark Knopfler and Eric are both handily in my top five favorite guitarists!
How good are you on the guitar ?
Eric Clapton plays rhythm for me.
@@markusnicola7952 I don't play an instrument. I just LOVE music to the core of my being. It sustains me, like food, water, air!
Brian May (Queen) should be on that list of top guitarists

Don't forget this was Carl Perkins last major live event before he died.
My friends this is real music 🎶🎵🎶🎵 from my time beautiful ❤️❤️❤️
🤠 Sting does sing on the original studio version.👍
Saw Mark Knopfler with Dire Straits in the 90'. It was mind blowing. He's a living legend 🎸 (I love Clapton as well)
The Brits really are good at music!
I hope for Collins ! He deserves a good musical recognize ! BeastZ !
Mark Knopfler, Sting, Phil Collins, Eric Clapton and Ray Cooper!! Later bringing on Paul McCartney and Elton John in the same concert. In my opinion, one of the best concert lineups since live aid
Only to see them together , Mark Knopfler (Clapton, Sting, Collins) it is the Legend .
The story goes that during the recording of Money for Nothing Mark Knopfler was ready to can the song. Then one night Neil Dorfsman (the producer) and Guy Fletcher (the keyboard player) went and worked on the synth sounds to get them perfect. The next morning Knopfler heard them and promptly ripped that legendary intro solo and the rest is history.
When you are famous and have famous friends it's probably easy to call them up and set a gig up.
I notice he changed some of the lyrics. If you know, you know.😬😂
Yeah, Mark stopped singing the original ones when he realised how offensive they were and has substituted a number of other words in over the years. I think this one was the first time I'd heard 'maggot' though.
The omission of the word “faggot” perhaps?

Two legends from my city Newcastle upon Tyne sting and Mark knophfler
I've seen this before but it NEVER gets old! Awesome! 🎼🎵🎶🇨🇦🇨🇦
Im looking right to the lord of guitar...who else if not Mr, Clspton...cooolll

Everybody sleeps on ROMEO & JULIET but I love that song
@@amalamakalow782that and Telegraph Road
Seeing you being just as excited about this collaboration as I was when it took place makes me feel somewhat younger (I'm 51) :D
The guitar playing on Sultans Of Swing Alchemy live will blow your mind.
I grew up listening to walk of life and money for nothing religiously . Epic songs.
This is just fun. Mark wrote this song listening to workers talking in an appliance store. Who would think of that! The beat is fantastic. Great collaboration. Sting did an amazing job. Dire Straits did the original.❤
I saw this crew in concert in Dallas Texas (minus sting for that concert). Mind boggling, really! Thanks for reacting.
Thanks for that, I'd never seen this either. What a blast 🤟
this jam...just buzzes along like an "on time" bus...love it
remember when mtv was about music? miss those days
I love you guys!!!
love how these were so humble
You should check for the collab between Phil Collins (on drums) and Black Sabbath live...
Yes , of course Sting is singing on the Album.
Yes he does.
Brothers in arms on nelson mandela concert is an absolute must
Yes he does, Sting is on the studio version,
Money for Nothing - the single greatest song from the 80s. It completely encapsulated the essence of the MTV era. You MUST react to the original video!
Iconic song and artists, good times!✌
what a line up.....WOW.
This was phenomenal. A great performance like Heart doing Stairway to Heaven. Keep up the good work
Forgot to add we Brits love good bands and we have a lot of them. Time for you guys to check out ELO>
Absolutely best music video ever!
Nothings better then a jam session.
dire straits was just the shit i was a baby back then when they started out but as my ears grew lol they where one of my favs
pure talent
This was amazing, thank you for sharing
Only music legendes on this podium. Woow. 😍🤘👍
So, the story behind the lyrics is that Mark was in a electronics store, and the guy was watching a music video on TV and was basically talking shit saying “do you guys are making money for doing basically nothing“. So the lyrics of what he was saying about the guys on TV is apparently a direct quote from this man including the lines in the chorus. Oh yeah, it was in New York City!
You must see Telegraph Road live at Alchemie.
Everybody having fun!. Sad the straits reunion won't happen :/
I was 20 years old when that song came out in 1985 we are old

Sting does indeed sing on the studio version singing "i want my, I want my, I want my MTV" I suggest you guys react to "sultans of swing live"

Wow!!
Wanna buy the guitar Knopfler's playing here? You just missed out, it went for £693,000.
when you said mark knofler (clapton,sting,collins) i did not believed that now i do yeahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh thank you
yeah, great music video from the good old MTV days!
He literally started by telling you how Sting came to play on the studio version!
Ray Cooper on tambourine. Member of Elton John's band.
Yes
Sting sings on the record & the music video
i love your lipstick !
Of course Sting sings in the studio version! That was alreafy f* lit at the time, and still is!
so many legends playing...
Phil Collins- drums
Eric Clapton- guitars (rythm i think)
Sting- backing vocals
😍😍😍😍
Percussion with Ray Cooper of the Elton John Band.
Sting sang on his own and with The Police. He doesn't sing with Mark Knopfler and Dire Straights. These are all artists that have played and sung with other bands--collaborating.
Have you ever heard, BTW, Robert Downey Jr singing with Sting? It is pretty amazing...
Robert's solo album is great too.
I think they would "kill" each other if they where in a normal touring band hehe. But on special occasions, no problem hehe
Would be cool if Sting played bass on here too
Unfortunately, I do not know the name of the gentleman on percussion But he is a Big Deal! Any huge musical event, he is The Percussionist. He is also a blast to watch. I was able to see him when he was on Elton John’s tour.
Ray Cooper.
I'm sure jim diamond was on keyboards, might be another version
As has been said, you need to watch Sultans of Swing by Dire Straits from the Alchemy concert, Mark is unbelievable in that performance, also Mark and Eric duet Layla at this concert, check it out too.

They created MTV
The only way this could have been better is if they had Geddy Lee flown over to the gig to play the bass.
the planets align
i'm an MTV vidiot = someone who watches video's all day
Should listen to the original song with the original lyrics
Please do this ==> Dire Straits - Sultans Of Swing (Alchemy Live)
Yes Sting is on the original.
Doesn't get better than that people! Welcome back to Manchester United, Cristiano Ronaldo with 2 goals in a 4-1 victory 🤘
Sting plays guitar....but NOT with Mark and Eric on the stage he doesn't...🤣🤣🤣 Sting grew up on Genesis and Clapton..❤
A Musicians song
"I do not know this song". W............T.............F???
probably need to do the original video so you can hear the lyrics. make sure you do the one where the "george michael" verse is included. I believe in the US this verse was omitted for using the word "faggot".
Can you do a reaction to my bands song ? I can send you the links?
mark knofles says about himself i can play gitar average and i cant sing
