Dire Straits - Heavy Fuel (Official Music Video)

[@chakkardhar]

Dire Straits is one such group which never needed a video. Their music simply rocks. Can't ever get enough.

[@andrzejsas3463]

You are absolutely right

[@user-dc1dr9kr8x]

But their contributions have been worth repeat views and money for nothing ranks in the conversation for top 10 all time

[@cgore4]

If you can't get enough than you need the video.

[@Peterswarahed]

Growing up listening to to music through the ages , I always thought sultans of swing had a ukrainian vibe too it. Not sure if there's any real connection apart from that sound.

[@Emulator_Crossing]

very underrated song and album...better than 99% music in the last 10 years.

[@olivermeier2949]

Last 40

[@davidbeeson9408]

Trouble is it’s not from the last 10 years, is it? You can’t compare a track from 1991 to something from the last 10 years, it’s so unfair.

I love that they decided to make the video a tribute to the hard working rodies that make them all look them all so good out there on the road. Those guys, even more than the ones on stage really do have to run on Heavy Heavy Fuel!!!

I'm a Heavy Metal guy, since the late 1970s, but this band is just hypnotically good. In my junior high algebra class, our teacher was so cool that she'd have the radio playing, and "Sultans of Swing" became one of my favorite songs.

[@betadevb]

Yeah metal fan here as well but like this band. When you have riffs and some attitude, not that hard to please us.

[@amazingcalvin]

The problem with guitarists like Mark Knopfler and David Gilmour is that the stuff they produce is addictive as hell.

[@danielfronc4304]

Mark Knopfler is the best technically proficient guitarist that I've had the pleasure to listen to, all the way back to The Beatles in 1964. It's a shame that he isn't recognized as such in the U.S. but when the guitar gods in Europe get together for a concert jam he's always put out front and center..What a pleasure it is to listen to him on songs like this as well as the more demanding tunes that don't get air play.
