roadkilled Posted April 3, 2006 Share Posted April 3, 2006 Sorry if there's already a thread about DS.I think they had some famous tunes, my favourite has to be Brothers In Arms. They are a great band, but were more popular in Europe then in North America.So just wanted to know, what do you guys think of Dire Straits?

Alan Niveen Posted April 15, 2006 Share Posted April 15, 2006 when i went to benidorm last year they really seemed to be into sultans of swingeven people in the streets were playing it on acoustic guitarsYeah, sometimes people in Spain have no idea. I don't want to sound snobbish but, personally, I prefer Judas Priest. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sweetness Posted April 15, 2006 Share Posted April 15, 2006 (edited) I saw Knopfler with his solo band last summer and he was playing a bunch of Dire Straits songs. They put on a really good show, Knopfler kicked ass. I have never really been a huge Dire Straits fan, but I like a lot of their songs.

Yamisonic Posted April 25, 2006 Share Posted April 25, 2006 Great band ... Like them a lot.Money For Nothing, I like the short version. Still, I like others better. Brothers In Arms was nice tooThe DVD is excellent, check it outMy two favs are Sultans Of Swing and Your Latest Trick. Man, nobody has mentioned this song. It's amazing. The trumpet intro and the sax solo are cool. Plus the riff. And the verse. And the chorus. And the arrangements. Great tune. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
