Mark Knopfler + Chet Atkins - Walk of Life | Metal / Rock Fans reaction with Boone County Pot Still

Metal / rock fans reaction to Mark Knopfler and Chet Atkins performing "Walk of Life" while checking out some Boone County Pot Still

[@donepearce]

Atkins is better than Knopfler in some respect, and Knopfler is in others. Knopfler's lyricism is unmatched.

Great reaction. Waylon Jennings's son Shooter did a great country cover of Walk of Life.

"Just one time" is a cover by Mark Knopfler & Chet Atkins of a song written by Don Gibson of Sea of Heartbreak fame. Don is an OG! That was the request I meant to answer Dustin's request for choice in his message. He caught me at a bad time.... Those times happen more often lately and I'm trying to not let the Old Man In.

That guitar Mark is playing on this video was sold at Christies Auction on 01--31-24 for 330,000 lbs. sterling or almost. $420,000. The Money for Nothing 1959 Gibson Les Paul Standard went for 550,000 or $694,000. Mark Knopfler said he'll miss them all, but hopes they continue making people happy and they get good homes. They shouldn't be wall pieces any more than a 58 cal. Zouave rifle should be in my opinion! Some of my numbers could be off but the collection went for $11.2 million.

Walk of life is iconic. It’s everywhere in pop culture, at every stadium.

[@davidjennings1771]

Walk of Life was from Brothers in Arms album, pre "Money for Nothing". I stopped buying the albums with all the electronics. Mark doesn't use a pick, is that a detriment? Boone County West by God Viriginia in honor of D Ray White & company!

Just my opinion. Anytime we get to hear Chet, I don't care if it is country or not. A great performance. I believe I've heard that Maybelle Carter introduced Nashville to Chet. I don't think you can get more OG than that. For me Chet, makes the guitar so easy. Thanks for a reaction to an incredible song. I'd suggest a reaction to a Chet and Jerry Reed duet. Any of them really, but possibly "Jerry's Breakdown" or "Don't Think Twice Its Alright".

This song is off of an album these two gents did together. Brilliant album called "Neck and Neck". Though there are differences in their styles, Mark has a smoothness that even eclipses Chet's. And I love Chet Atkins.

[@davidjennings1771]

Mark was born a left handed person, feature that!

[@larrybench6398]

Hey guy's it's great to see how effortlessly it is for Chester, as Vince Gill, call's him Chet Atkins amazing with a guitar, I would like to request a song by Tanya Tucker, called "OH WHAT IT DID TO ME" a great traditional country song and she does a great job on it, hope you will give it a try. Thanks

The live video of "Sultans Of Swing" (long version) is a great example of Mark's playing.

[@ladyred56]

I actually had the pleasure of meeting Chet one time. His cousin owned the country Club in our little town. I was working there in the kitchen cooking.

Nice analysis on Walk of Life. First time hearing your channel, certainly won't be the last. You might want to listen Mark and Chet play another song from this album. The song is "Yakety Ax". Some real country pickin' on this one. Mark can country pick too.

[@sheilaakridge4944]

You should hear their Poor Boy Blues song. It’s along the same lines in a way as this one but without the organs.

[@gailmayes8117]

Love the videos keep them coming

[@jvreeland6180]

Keith, it wouldn't be a pain ol' country song, it would be Bluegrass. The lyrics give it away.

[@jjc5407]

You gentlemen should definitely check out There'll Be Some Changes Made from Mark and Chet's Neck and Neck album. It's great fun with the two of them exchanging banter and guitar licks.

[@notabot3375]

This song was at every sporting event from 85-97 or so.

[@roostershifflett]

Chet was also a great producer. Elvis, Everly Brothers, Waylon, Jerry Reed ect.

[@jenniferworley7115]

Mark Knopfler at one time tried to get Vince Gill to join him, it was some time prior to Vince Gill joining the Eagles. This old brain of mine can't remember any more of the details but I'm sure someone in the subscriberdom or somewhere on the internet has more info about it. Vince Gill is another top notch guitarist, he also has video on you tube playing with Chet Atkins. Really enjoyed this one guys. Peace to all. ✌
