Riders on the Storm, if it were written by Dire Straits

[@dutchbeef8920]

When she's walking by the river or the railway line she can still hear him whisper; riders on the storm 👍🏻

[@dougreid2351]

...how ' bout it?

[@pete5668]

This is cool! Now I want to hear Sultans of Swing if it were written by The Doors.

[@FairyRat]

I love Dire Straights and I love The Doors, honestly any combination of the two is fair game by me

[@christiantretter5371]

Maybe the next step for us "Old Rock'n Roll - Fans" getting a new inspiration in a time of cheap music ;-)

Sultans on the Storm😎

[@lucesysombras367]

Jajajajjajaja😂😂😂

[@borassictime918]

If you told me this was a lost Dire Straits demo from the 1970s, I’d believe it 💯 % and go “they really must put that out as a single!!!” Superb!

[@Marcus_C51]

Absolutely-it's that perfect! Astounding how it's exactly like Knopfler...

[@lovesloudcars]

I've yet to find something Laszlo does that isn't enjoyable. Hopefully one day he'll get some global coverage!!

[@An_inquisitive_thinker]

Love it. Strong presence of Sultans of Swing from outset, voice is getting frighteningly close to actual Knopfler's too. I'm genuinely hoping that Mark is secretly following you and watches your Dire Straits inspired shenanigans. 🎸 🤔

[@GraupeLie]

Now that would be epic!

[@An_inquisitive_thinker]

@@GraupeLie Indeed. But then Laszlo earned it through hard work.

[@GraupeLie]

@@An_inquisitive_thinker Absolutely agree!

[@xMERCx]

You got this Dire Straits sound down pat, man. Killer as always ❤

[@drMentalBar]

Fan-bloody-tastic!!! Another gem to collect...

[@austinfeith6094]

I love the slightly upbeat, Sultans-of-Swing tempo on this song; it makes it feel like a mythical tale of heroic riders from long ago, a welcome take on the more haunting style of the original

[@Marcus_C51]

Well Laszlo, that has to be one of the most phenomenal concepts taken to fruition I've seen in ages! Love that you picked one of my favorite Doors songs to be done by Knopfler and Dire Straits. Not only that, you absolutely blew my mind with the stone perfect Knopfler vocals and playing. I certainly hope Mark has a chance to hear this sometime, I know he'd dig it! Bravo sir-top notch!

[@ankejansen791]

"Riders on the storm" was the first single I bought from my pocket money more than sixty years ago. It blew me away then and now this Knopfler version blows me away again! How I wish my brother could listen to Laszlo's Dire Strait renditions of our favourite music too. He was a huge Knopfler fan and attended all of his concerts in the Netherlands.

[@Marcus_C51]

@@ankejansen791 Wow-the first single you ever bought? Nice! Yes, I loved it when it came out, LA Woman is an incredible track too. Also The Changeling, Love Her Madly as well plus the blues stuff Jim sang so well too. Sorry that your brother couldn't hear Laszlo's Knopfler playing, he's really does a fine job getting so many nuances of Mark's playing down doesn't he? Knopfler is such a master, I've always revered him. A real treasure. Thank you for posting, I've had reminder notices in my journal to come by Laszlo's channel but hadn't made it back yet. Appreciate it! He is such an excellent guitarist and plays so many styles really well.

[@RapidGeezer96]

I played it again at 3/4 speed, sounded amazing. The tempo is closer to the original and the complex guitar licks are really are brought out. Its more bluesy and edgey and it fits the lyrics better. Its worth a try. 🤔

[@Onkel_Wuschel]

Just one word that fits: WOW!!!

[@alskjdfsldkjf]

This guy just fucking kills it… all I want now is a Mark Knopfler covers album!

[@dave.reid1958]

you couldn't possibly explain this to someone, they have to hear it for themselves....just fantastic!

[@Andrew_King]

This is an excellent version, I like it a lot.

[@discordantmelody9316]

Exceptional. Recreating Ray Manzarek's haunting keyboards with finger picking guitar. Talent that brings a lot of joy.

[@aprilia1000cc]

Wish I had 1% of that talent 😃😃🇬🇧

[@melchiorvonsternberg844]

You never disappoint! Another masterful interpretation of a classic. It's always a pure pleasure! And seemingly so effortless... Just pure fun...!

[@LaszloBuring]

@@melchiorvonsternberg844 Thank you!

[@melchiorvonsternberg844]

[@stephenlondon3363]

Sultans on the Storm?? Riders of Swing?? Either way this was absolutely AMAZING!! And once again, you have proven that you can basically take any song and turn it into a Mark Knopfler/Dire Straits classic; you are a true musical master, Laszlo, and your musicianship and vocal ability both know no bounds; LOVED THIS!! 🎼🎤🎸🥁🎸🎹🎸

If Mark isn't making new music, The Man Lazlo is STEPPING UP!

[@bojandjukanovic6638]

Masterpiece, everything about it. Why not going wild when it is sooooooo good. Wild like Passenger by Iggy Pop, or Wild Side by Lou Reed, or something by Mano Negra or Manu Chao... The matrix is there, whatever you put through that matrix will sound phenomenal. Realistically, with this kind of skill, ANYTHING will sound like the Dire Straits, even Edith Piaff, Toto Cutugno or... Eminem. This channel is pure gold.

Great video, glad I could make the premier!

Thanks for joining once again! 😄

[@VirKap99]

I love The Doors and Dire Straits. Great composition. You nailed the Mark Knopffler style and always nail the David Gilmour style in your Pink Floyd style videos.

[@Slugg-O]

I'm honestly not sure Mark Knoppfler could have done a better job. This is nuckin futz. Attack, phrasing, all top notch stuff.

[@FairyRat]

Wow, beautifully done!

[@pselden2103]

superlative picking, among many other awe inspiring techniques. thank you for sharing your many skills

[@davideaston6944]

As I consider The Doors the greatest American rock & roll band... And I think that Dire Straits was one of the greatest "post Classic Rock" bands ever; so no wonder that I actually like this mix! ☺

[@henrikfalkner6619]

Another brilliant interpretation. You are so very talented - please release an album with all the Knopfler songs.

[@BigCarmine]

Too cool for words!!!

[@Onkel_Wuschel]

And the great thing is that I can learn a lot from these recordings, thank you very much for that. I enjoy playing the guitar myself, not nearly as well as you, but you help me tremendously.

[@LaszloBuring]

Thank you! And thanks for becoming a member 😄

[@briebelbus1524]

You are so talented. Indeed when listening to the solo guitar, you could swear it’s in the hands of Knopfler him self.

[@sandwichsupernova]

This is amazing!!! So soulful.

I normally like Snoop Dogg's version of this song better, but I must say, you did a really good job with this. And as someone has already stated in the comments: at 0,75x speed, it sounds even better.

Great, will be interesting to see how Krieger translates into Knopfler. Although there are certainly similarities to be found in their approach to songs and music. Looking forward to it.

[@saskk2290]

I think Morrison is very translateable to Knopfler lol. Excited to hear instrumentals no less. Can't say I know any names beyond Morrison. Should look into the pianist at least

[@Izrealeu]

@@saskk2290 Jim Morrison, Singer/Poet - Ray Manzarek, Organ/Bass on organ - John Densmore, Drums and Robbie Krieger, Guitar. Krieger is a great player, and writer/cowriter of many of the Doors classics, His playing may take a while to really hear and understand how deeply woven his play is into the songs. It may appear to be in the background, but it is often very intricate.

aboslutely awesome... there's no way to tell thay thisis not a real rendition of this song by MK. the way you get the DS sound is unbeliable

[@dcnole]

This is a cool Sultans of Swing x Riders on the Storm mashup of sorts, played beautifully of course. But Dire Straits has a lot more depth than just upbeat rock songs. Given that tracks like Brothers in Arms and Telegraph Road are super toned-down Dire Straits hits, I would actually be curious to hear a "Knopfler-ized" version of Riders on the Storm that was more faithful to the tone and tempo of the original Doors classic. I think that might be even more interesting.

[@TheHKBerry]

Oh yes, my jealousy level on 100% again…😜 Well done Laszlo, thanks!

[@RajBali08]

A....farkin....mazing Laszlo

[@Unicorn-ST]

I didn't expected a version in Sultans of Swing tempo. The original Door's song has a tempo more on line with Six blade Knife or even Telegraph Road.

[@rickhacook9984]

A queen song might be cool to try!

[@onlyvictoryandfreedom5107]

[@zooropaforever]

Another big thumb up Laszlo! This time is a bit of a surprise. I thought that it would be more like "Private Investigation", "Where do think you're going" or "You and your friend". It ended more like "Sultans". Loved it anyway. 😁

Would have been a cool approach aswell!
