This Is pretty much the anthem of Music in general!!!❤❤❤❤❤

[@dagoncrowgg]

That opening riff is what guitarists hear on their way into guitaris heaven.

[@RicoBurghFan]

That's Sting on the opening and throughout on harmonies, etc. Song was written by Mark Knopfler when he heard appliance workers making fun of musicians on MTV on the TV screens in the store.

[@DianaJG8]

Now they delete the "fagot" word on the radio though. Geeze! The band is quoting a couple of older guys...It's just not the same...

My mom was obsessed with this song when it came out... All these years later she still loves it.

Huge? You couldn't get tickets to see them for love nor money, they were the biggest band on the Planet!!!!

[@kybble]

Still HUGE

[@dannythedoodle]

"You should not have a riff worse than that" is the coolest way I've ever heard someone say 'the bar has been raised' AMAZING! 👍

[@barrycohen311]

Story behind it was- Mark was in a large electronics store in NYC, and he noticed the store's delivery workers watching the TVs playing in that store, and they had MTV playing on them. The workers started complaining about their jobs, how little money they make, and how they should have been musicians and MTV rock stars....

[@vovindequasahi]

"That's how you open a fucking song! " Hahaha In-deed!

[@rosswatson5996]

That is Sting who guested on this track.

[@eatthisvr6]

i never knew that lol

[@n9xrr]

Mark Knopfler= Master Class Guitar, Doesn't get any better!

[@willasacco9898]

This was the essence of 80’s music. It was a departure for them, away from their rock blues. You must see the official video, which was quite ahead of its’ time and amplifies the theme of the song.

[@johncraig4180]

Private investigation by them is a class tune.

[@bonya4585]

“Walk of Life” is outstanding. But, do the video version. You should have done “Money for Nothing” in the video version. It explains the song.

[@penderyn8794]

They have Way better than walk of life

[@saflynn14]

Walk of Life is a fun video!

[@nmgal8543]

I was a young college student when this came out. I still remember being at a friend's house, slightly drunk, lying in front of one of the stereo speakers and they CRANKED this song. The escalation and opening riff is SOOO good very LOOOUUD. One of the greatest beginnings in rock history. The ending, well, not so much. :-D

[@kierstenridgway4634]

Everyday we would come home from school. High-school. To watch MTV.

[@LC-gs6qv]

'Brother s in Arms' (the full version) is an absolute masterclass by Dire Straits. It's one of the most emotional song out there!

[@zigman63]

I think as you guys are on this journey : you will get to understand how music has and was evolved from the 50s onwards, Dire straits are unbelievable, the whole concept of the song was about a totally new thing, a 24hr music channel called MTV , so I think it was a subtle dig at repetitive songs around that time where the video was more important than the song, so like I said the other day,listening to Queen, led zeppelin, pink Floyd, Bowie, Dire straits LIVE you will discover that not all popular songs in the 80s had no substance or talent etc for studio mixed etc.. Enjoy your journey. G uk.

[@LadyIarConnacht]

I always have to tell my story about this song. My husband and I were working as contractors for several kitchen, bath and furniture stores. Every damn time we went in the stores, all the sales guys would be standing around watching MTV on the TVs for sale. So, immediately this became our theme song. We couldn't believe it. It was like they made a song just for us.

[@dannyarcher6370]

Greatest intro of all time!

[@alexrino22]

This is one fewest intro in history of music you must listen to with your eyes closed.

[@philcawser]

Best reactors, by a mile. Only ones I can watch. Congratulations gents.

[@mohammedkhalilsalman]

Man, it so unfair you are discovering this now! I am so jealous. I wish I can discover these brilliant songs all over again. aaaaaaaaaaaaaah

[@annemaclean6634]

Guys, I was absolutely obsessed with this song back in the 80s. I loved it so much and if it came on the radio when I was driving to work, it was on at full volume!! Couldn't get enough of it, my friends used to laugh at me! The live version which they did at Live Aid is brilliant and I've watched it often on KZbin. Yes, I can understand that you're a bit disappointed in it because of Sultans of Swing (studio and live), you were expecting some a bit more especially as it was building up from the start, but as I say, the live version is very good. Sting sings the opening to it. Another live version I've often watched was done at The Princes Trust Rock Gala 1986 and that was brilliant - among others playing the song with them was Eric Clapton, Elton John on keyboards and Phil Collins on drums. How great is that!! It's on KZbin too. I enjoyed your reaction, guys, very understandable but please check out the live version.

[@danknighton3286]

Probably Dire Straits’ most mainstream commercial song, it brought them a new audience back in the eighties. Great song but I’m like you, give me great live music any day.

[@carolmartin2964]

guys - the 1980s in London were so great - you could see U2, Santana, David Bowie, Dire Straits, Queen, Phil Collins, Prince and so many more - didn't realise how special it was until now but so thankful that I was part of it and your generation can enjoy the legacy

[@jackiesueann3476]

I was just thinking about 80's music and lifestyle. It was a beautiful and happy times! I will always look back fondly. ✌️❤️🎶😎

[@DefakatorOfficiel]

From Dire Straits, you've got to try TELEGRAPH ROAD (studio version, first) if you're looking for songs with transitions and epic solos ;)

[@markkappe1995]

Alchemy live version of Telegraph Road is better IMO...

[@imadberka8464]

En plus de defaker des fake ta du goût pour la musique

[@static1st]

I think that all of the "Love Over Gold" album songs are very good.

[@maxl9911]

Eeeh mais il a des bons gout en musique en plus. Long live Dire straits song!!

[@juggernaut8690]

Telegraph road is my favorite one

[@foots-qt4pk]

This song is based on an overheard conversation. Mark Knopfler was in an appliance store and MTV was playing on a television inside the store. The delivery men stopped to watch and make a commentary about how hard they worked compared to musicians on MTV. There is an animation video of this song you might enjoy.

[@kajabrill2404]

Listen to Brothers in Arms...major Pink Floyd..feel

[@phantomrockerr]

Do you know their song "Heavy Fuel"? Another Great song they do.

[@the_oslovian]

Yes, that is a masterpiece. Brothers in arms.

[@rosswatson5996]

The drummer should fit into the song. On this track he does exactly what is expected.

[@dopiaza2006]

sadly the y only used him for the intro even though he played for the full Alchemy live album, which blows this out of the water!

[@freddymo3339]

The lead is guest singer, Sting, of The Police.

[@robertcartier5088]

Small correction: Yes, that is Sting, but he is not the "lead"... Sting is doing backup vocals. The lead singer is also the guitarist, Mark Knopffler. (The lead singer is the one who sings the verses, not necessarily the first one to sing.) Cheers! ;-]

[@onurekici7302]

Watch Money for nothing at live aid, you will get drums. I promise.... Great reaction, this riff is one of the best to ever been played.

[@jackiesueann3476]

One of the two best opening riffs in my opinion!! Money for Nothing A Whole Lotta ❤️

[@nicksykes4575]

Hi George & Patrick, there is a version of this with Mark, Sting, Phil Collins on drums and Eric Clapton on backing guitar. Just type their names and it,ll come up. Another song I,d recommend to you is "Renegade" by a band called Toseland. The lead singer and pianist is a guy called James Toseland. He was World Superbike Champion in 2004 & 2007. He,s also married to a singer/songwriter from Georgia called Katie Melua.

[@willasacco9898]

Read the comments below, you will understand the song. It was almost a parody of some 80’s music, but it was such a great piece of music, all around, that you cannot really consider as such. It was also the theme for the MTV awards, I think in 1987.

[@erzy5672]

Telegraph road , Romeo and Juliet , Lady Writer please:)

[@penderyn8794]

Tunnel of love , private investigations, on every street

[@PbPomper]

One of the best intro build-ups ever!

[@nobby6969]

Awesome reaction. Fella on the right, your reaction is symmetrical to what mine was. My mum showed me this song whilst taking me to school one day when I was 11 years old. I begged her to buy me a guitar everyday until she finally did. I have never looked back.

[@shannonhailey7187]

I love it when they say "something's happening" or "something's gonna happen"

[@Kmd2574]

Heres the lowdown on this great tune. This song is about rock star excess and the easy life it brings compared with real work. Mark Knopfler wrote it after overhearing delivery men in a New York department store complain about their jobs while watching MTV. He wrote the song in the store sitting at a kitchen display they had set up

[@MrShadowfax42]

I think it is more about how people who are not successful musicians ignorantly complain about how easy it is to be a successful musician.

[@carolehanrahan]

I've been watching a lot of your reaction videos in the last few days. I love your facial expressions. The pure joy and exhilaration you both get from the music makes me enjoy it all over again as if it were new to me. Thank you for the fun and I'll keep watching for more. Much love from me to you both.

[@steviealessi]

Ah memories , driving along the south coast of England in an old vintage Jaguar about 1985 just out of Uni ,,bliss..

[@chipper6026]

Agreed one of the great opening off a song. Great riff and the drums and guitars sensational.

[@Michael-dy2lb]

That opening is one of the all-time epic openings in rock history. It's just perfect. Sting's lead in is ethereal. Then the gradually increasing drums, the guitar stepping in and then taking over, followed by the transition to the song proper. What a perfect beginning. The rest of the song is an A, but the opening is an easy S-tier, matching up with any intro ever.

[@lunch2102]

This is the kind of reaction I've been looking for, I wish I could hear this song for the first time, again.

[@nancyduran76]

So glad someone below in comments explained why the song was written. I've listened to this hundreds of times and never knew.Makes more sense now. Forgot Sting was on it too.

Hi guys, I love your reactions to Dire Straits… I just have to say that you need to only watch them ‘live’ that’s when you get the epic ups and downs, booming drums and fantastic guitar solos from the wonderful Mark! Please, only watch them live if you want to continuously be blown away ❤❤

[@barrycohen311]

The Artist "Sting" from 'The Police' did some of the vocals on this song. That is the opening, back up vocals, and fade out at the end...

[@hammertime615]

That is Sting singing the beginning and backup. Samsbro has the background on the lyrics on point lol.

[@neilmartin99]

Part of the beauty of this song is the irony in the lyrics along with a crazy f'ing Knopfler guitar riff. The song is sung from the perspective of a bigoted appliance deliveryman. Alot of people freaked out on Mark Knopfler about the verse concerning the ....uhhh...homosexual rock star. What those people didn't and don't understand is that was not Mark's opinion but rather the words of the appliance deliveryman speaking through Mark. "I want my MTV" was the slogan used in the TV commercials back in the 80's when MTV was a 24/7 music video channel. Watch the video. It will make more sense.

[@harryohrn6051]

Next time I'm challenged about my non PC comments I'll remember to say "That isn't my opinion that's what Archie Bunker would have said."

[@darknation3155]

@@harryohrn6051 Is this sarcasm? Would you be talking from the perspective of Archie Bunker or just being an ass? Because Mark was doing the former and you sound like you'd use Archie to simply excuse your own bigotry. Mark did nothing wrong. What you might do is pure ignorance.

[@aaronm4782]

Mark Knopfler was in an appliance store and MTV was on the wall of TVs --- He's singing about the MTV artists on the TV -- and the salesmen coming around trying to sell appliances to customers
