Dire Straits "Money For Nothing" performed by The Classic Rock Show 

Shure he is, but the band too!

And let's not forget the video director. :)

Yes, he is playing on stage, not the band.

YES

The sound is 👌

ru-vid.com/show-UCba-ICPX1aI6-KFF2kUfAJQ check out his new orig album ;) I recommend little miss brandywine

Simon Winnard Thank you for that link!

. Pl

@@Lord_Shouty thank you so much i like this guitarist and I was lookin for his name... Merci

and he's playing fingers too.

Yes money for nothing

@@saidchetyar6077 your moneh is worthless

His name is Howie G

that was the coolest guy in this video.....even "i want my" phrase at the end of the song also magnificent

Absolutely Right On~!!!

Excellent

@KeenlyJohnas I don’t really think the lead singer was imitating Mark Knopfler at all. His “that’s the way you DO IT” sounded more like someone from a motor cycle gang who is in utter love with the song and paying their own homage with the emphasis of the way they heard it sung by Knopfler, Meaning I still think it sounded cool, but not an imitation by any means of the original artist.

agreed. vocals come through very clearly, and I like that the keyboard comes across well too.

The sound people 👍

Fr

Merle Haggard once said about Glen Campbell "Sometimes God gives some people TOO MUCH TALENT" He was right after all~!!

A band named Dire Straits is even better. How about that :)

yeah dire straights didnt play all the classics these guys did, listen to their stuff. they are incredible!!!!!!

in many ways they're BETTER ~ kimie

@@ronnietoots6797 Straits*

try to see REO brothers and see it for yourself. they use basic instrumentation and yet produce authentic sounds unlike this bands who use better system and instruments.

I am actually sitting, but it is 211 am and I am listening for the hundredth time.

hes good but not as good as mark.

Very very close. No person can sing this particular song as Mark did.

I agree

Debajyoti Bose , no argument on that...but nice 👍 cover indeed.

Mine has always been Brian May, seen Queen 3 times (Freddie, not lambert) A guitar made out of an old piece of oak mantelpiece and motorcycle springs etc, and plays Brighton Rock, Prophets Song is just insane! But I love rock guitarists and have done my bucket list of bands but missed Led Zeppelin, ironically for Queen. 🤘

No doubt The man is a beast on the axe!

Agreed. Alchemy live Sultans of Swing is (to me) the pinnacle of music history. A few came close though: Queen, Led Zepplin, Eagles, ...

I personally think it is better than the orginal.

Totally agree....

hehe check out the reo brothers playing sultans of swing LIVE in their small home studio in the philippines I think it will change your mind!

That’s true when you see them enough.

Pro band👍

If they wrote their own music, that would be something else, but it seems they have not. Such a pity.

"their"....

Because they are proffs

They are really good, but it is too clean in my opninion to give it that Dire Straits live feel.

@@tigervv6437 not sure about it. I think Dire Straits had very high sound quality and played with great precision, so Dire straits sound was ''clean'', just maybe recordings in youtube are not very high quality so it sounds a bit ,,dirty''. But I agree, that its the best Dire straits cover, its very hard to play this song in the right way, but they did it perfectly

@@MemeNatorius I don’t know if you have ever listened to live versions, but Mark tends to deviate quite a bit from the studio version. Especially in his later period. Not only improvising the solo’s, but generally having a different sound than on the recordings. He said himself in an interview that he thought the studio version was too clean in retrospect. I‘ve seen him live several times and there are also high quality soundboard recordings on youtube from various concerts. Mark can be extremely clean live, especially on his earlier work, but usually not on Money for Nothing.

@@tigervv6437 so by playing clean you mean playing the same like in the recordings? If this is the case, so yeah dire straits never play the same like in the recordings.

Hello

Hello are you doing

Hell yeah. I'm so sick of hearing the edited version. Every avenue of radio i listen to, has cut those lyrics. I was wondering, coming into the video. Bad ass song, and these guys did a damn fine job of covering this masterpiece.

Age is just a number people use to tell us we can't do something. Nothing should stop you from rockin' out, Sir!

World of Retro Gameplay I like the ones where Mark will say “that motherfuckers a millionaire”.

You can’t change history.

people today are not sensitive ......they are brainwashed...to not look at the truth...whatever it may be..my 2 cents...if you cant handle the truth get ready to be taken over...by the ones who will obey their chairman

Probably filmed in Europe lol

The song was written from the perspective of two working class guys, it's not the actual opinions of Mark Knopfler or Sting.

You got that right brother!!!!

Wowwww
