First part sounded great, and wow, that solo was so Knopfleresque! I could feel some major Telegraph Road vibes.

better than any song on the radio in the last 15 years

[@richardfehr1838]

Slash owes a debt to Alvin Lee of Ten Years After for copping parts of the solo in I'd Love to Change the World." This, too got some of that feel.

[@josie4065]

That solo was heavenly.

[@LaszloBuring]

Thanks!

[@cjk5115]

As a big Dire Straits fan and a someone who regards GnR as so-so, this is outstanding. I could swear I was watching Knopfler himself. Fantastic video!

[@TheRockinDonkey]

I like GnR a lot, but, I heard this song one too many times back in '88. Dire Straits, on the other hand, I can't get enough of. This was perfect.

[@ecnalreleam]

Totally agree

[@johnnytightlips991]

As someone who absolutely loves both, this is killer

[@davidbentley1012]

I'm a bigger GnR fan than Dire Straight (like their hits mostly) and I agree, this was superb. I was hoping he was gonna just keep on playing.

[@trevorsheppard2258]

I've never heard GNR referred to as so so, how was year meth......so so.....lol

[@michaelblair4744]

As a massive fan of Dire Straits and GNR, I loved this. You really captured the essence of Dire Straits as if they played this song. The lead break was more telegraph road with a few pinches of sweet child of mine thrown in to my ears and sounded brilliant. I would love to see Mark Knofler and Slash's reactions to this.

[@JIKwood]

I love the telegraph road approach. makes so much sense with how the song is originally written and only adds to the amazing feel of the song.

[@i.c.y.]

Brilliant, just brilliant. The space, double time feel, the buildup... he did an amazing job bringing that to context and it worked brilliantly. Bravo @laszlo 👏👏👏👌👍❤️

[@johnd4348]

Well Axel Rose originally wrote this as a poem as a teenager, about a girl he was dating and after hearing his lead guitarist practice some rifts he decided to put the poem to the rifts . So it was not originally a song, but a poem. Thats what I heard . from Proffessor of Rock. There is a video on it. on utube.

[@SilverFox1954]

This is astonishing! A much polished and refined version (plus without the annoying sound of Axel’s voice)… Thank you!

[@jepz11]

Always have been a Dire Straits fan, and you make me realize what a distinct style Mark Knopfler adds to music. This is a beautiful hommage to both MK and to your musical feel.

[@chipsterb4946]

This whole clip was great but the solo was simply brilliant! 😃

[@tskwizz]

You knocked this out of the park. Virtuoso performance! Hey, KZbin algorithm: get this video out there!

That solo was absolutely beautiful. The slow build up and then into the flow and feel of Mark Knopfler. So cool, well done!

[@shmirdonkin]

This is the only cover of Sweet Child O' Mine that I've ever heard that I like. I was really hoping that it would've kept going and the second half went full sultan's of swing.

[@johnrafey9436]

I agree, it also had a telegraph road feel with the sultan's it is quite brilliant.

[@richardfehr1838]

I actually like this better than the original!

[@KurosakiYukigo]

Your covers are always so incredible, but there was something... different about this solo, just absolutely channeling the spirit of Mark Knopfler.

[@LaszloBuring]

Thank you very much!

[@diogosn]

Fantastic. I would like more videos

[@shanecreado4903]

Unbelievable! Truly. I have seen both GnR n Mark twice each in concert, and i could say you nailed this version to the T! Please keep doing this.

[@StepheMauro-kh1px]

Alright - now ur just showin’ off !!! Excellent !! Still waiting for my Michael Shenker “played as if” vid though - guess I better not hold my breath. lol thanks Laszlo

[@VarionJimmy]

Your solos at the second half.. I really like how you let G&R “craziness” shine thru, but still held it back and let the “Dire Straits notes” still be there. I would have been so tempted to just let go. 👍👍👍👍👍

[@LaszloBuring]

Thank you!

[@John-yi1mk]

These are just simply fantastic versions of classic songs. Great guitar playing. Lovely touch, feel, and tone. ❤

[@LaszloBuring]

[@jeffcoffey8970]

Absolutely wonderful! I didn't think that song or especially Slash's solo could be matched.....you did it! I like this version better and the original, and that is saying a lot. Beautiful work. Mark should be flattered. ✌️

[@esperitlliure5622]

What an extraordinary and tremendous homage to both Dire Straits & Guns & Roses.

[@fringorn3553]

One of the most talented performance ever heard. The solo reminds to Telegraph road, tunnel of love and somewhere sultans of swings... no words to say

[@mikaylachapman9036]

With every video, not only do you keep getting the guitar sound and songwriting spot-on, but you keep improving with all the little idiosyncrasies in Mark's voice. It may not be long before you morph into Mark Knopfler himself, lol. As always, great video. It's like Christmas every time you upload.

[@firstclaw1]

Outstanding. You play one of the greatest rock songs of GnR with Slash, who is an exeptional guitar player, then add a style of a band, which has also some of the greatest guitar players of all times, and make your own version. The way you combine these songs and styles in your way, which I believe is also including your own style and interpretation makes this song a masterpiece. This goes into my music list and I hope it will be always available.

[@simonpratley3301]

Absolutely incredile Laszlo Knophler! I was listening to the intro and verses/chorus and was blown away. Then there was the pause, everything went dark and I thought the song was over. I my mind I was thinking, I wish Laszlo had have played the guitar solo...... then that slow build up with the dIRE sTRAITS piano (absolute gold)..... after that when the guitar started playing my mouth fell open and my jaw hit the ground!!! Epic! So Knophler, those bends and nuances! 🤯🤯🤯🤤🤤🤤I think that's my favourite of any of your DS arrangements that you have made. I hope Mark Knophler gets to hear this one day... Slash too! I'm sure they would smile and love your epic tribute to them and to this iconic rock song! 🎸
