Spent my whole teenage and adult life listening to both these legends that moment i saw tears welling up in Brian's eyes i got a lump in my throat the size of a golf ball. For what they both have done for the music industry over all these decades they should be knighted by now , whose in agreement on this ? Sir Mark Knopfler and Sir Brian Johnson !!!

[@thrashthrasherson3803]

100% with you on that one brother!

[@bbouchan1]

I agree with you about what they have done for the music industry...deep respect, but I don't agree about the knighthood.....All the great music in probably one of the greatest ages of music was against the establishment & I for one hope they don't become part of it.

Yes Brian feels the emotion in Mark’s music you see with this type of music it can touch the soul and pull at the heartstrings, But something like AC/DC’s type of music cannot do this it’s one style balls to the wall and nothing else...Music needs to have light and shade to fully give everyone the full package and Mark is a genius at doing just that 👍😀

[@philhellmuth2771]

Please do not call him BJ

[@murraywestenskow2896]

Just when I don't think I can like Brian Johnson any more than I do - he pulls me in tighter - with a hug. Guy is amazing.

[@Patrick_B687-3]

Murray, he always gives me the feeling you could sit down and have a beer with him at a pub and you’d never feel like you were talking to a mega, mega rock star. But, like he was just another dude in there with nothing else to do but shoot the shit with you. Might be wrong about that, but I wouldn’t bet against it.

Finally, at almost 74 years old, people are getting to see a glimpse of what an amazing guy Brian is. Make no mistake, The Young brothers were a demanding, alpha, and controlling duo.... not just anyone could work with them for 40+ years. Brian has such an amazing personality that not only did he step in and take the place of Bon Scott (no small feat) but he's also been able to create a successful partnership with the Young family for now 41 years. Not just because of his vocal abilities, but just as importantly, for being a humble, great guy.

Seen Mark Knopfler live in Dublin 2019 (unfortunately never got to see Dire Straits live), but when he walked away to change to his acoustic I knew straight away he was playing Matchstick Man and I never felt so happy that he was playing this song because by God that is one of my favourite Mark Knopfler songs.

It's absolutely touching seeing that persons who have been involved in music for more than 50 years still watching someone are playing live like charmed truly believing that magic just happens right now in front of them. That feeling is the real thing that makes a solid connection between generations. It's nothing but a drug that gathers people together strongly attacking pleasure center in the brain and when you see other people around who also are high from it, it's like breathing in a rainbow from both sides with a second person and meeting at rainbow's center and having soul dance)
