The same will happen in 2034.

Holding back the years is definitely worth reacting to. Sultans of swing is one of my all time favorites.

Holding Back the Years is amazing. One of my all-time favorites. Nobody sings like Mick Hucknall of Simply Red. Some great trumpet work in their too. He wrote the song when he was 17.

One of the greatest guitar riffs of all time. If you haven't, you need to go back and listen to the full album version (the first video that you started) and listen to the outro guitar work... There's another solid 30 seconds of excellence after the music video version fades out.

You may have heard another song they did many years ago called "Money for Nothing." The popular line that is sung by Sting (not a member of the group) is "I want my MTV." The guitarist/singer in this video is Mark Knopfler (pronounced NAHF-ler).

I love this no auto tunes thank you! just pure talent

I'm a 70 yo. Thanks for listening to these old bands. It gives me a chance to hear those I didn't appreciate when I could have. Love you guys...you make me laugh.

This is what MTV used to be! Their hit " Money for Nothing aka I want my MTV " was on repeat in my tape deck for weeks. Also their song "Brothers in Arms" is just a classic. Home Run!!!

Seeing young bloods grove to the exquisite guitar licks of Dire Straights - the sounds of my youth - brought joy to my heart. The Cartier Family gives me hope for the future. I like the way you roll 👊🏻🇺🇸

Pretty pretty Mark Knopfler..that smile! I mean, I love the music, the guitar playing for sure..but he’s purty!!

Holding Back the Years is great!! GREAT choice by Dire Straits!!

Isn't it amazing how good real music sounds No Autotune required. This is why so many live acts disappoint.....

You guys! I love you so much!!! Your exquisite reactions to one of my favorite songs just made it that much better for me!! Thank you

You guys should have watched their live performance of this… as a long time Dire Straight fane, I love watching all of your faces watching this.

Dire Straits' album Brothers In Arms has most of the band's big hits on it like "Money For Nothin'" , "So Far Away" "Walk Of Life" and the title track which is beautiful

Dire Straits was just a straight up kick ass band! Nothing fancy. Simply amazing!!!

I've seen them 4x. brilliant, every time.

You need to see the whole performance!! The end solo is without a doubt one of the greatest guitar solos I’ve ever heard… seriously I’d love to see you react the the end solo

Way back when this first hit the airwaves, it was so fresh & different! Even all these years later, I don’t think it’s ever been replicated 👍

Now that you've seen this version (which is pretty much exactly like the studio version that was played on the radio and became a hit), niw you MUST watch their live performance of this song at Alchemy. It is mind-blowing on every level. Of course Knopfler is stellar, but that drummer! OMG, that drummer goes bananas! (BTW, the "K" in Knopfler is silent. 😊 )

Yes!!!!! I don't think these guys read this far into the comment section but I hope they figure it out because they'll love it ❤️ 😁

Some songs hype you up.. Some songs make you drive fast... Some songs make you laugh.... Some songs make you cry... This song just RELAXES you... It's that bass line.. it's that rhythm... It's that VIBE... I was glad to see that you guys GOT IT... For that... you got my sub.. Imma start binging on the rest of your vids)

This song came out my Senior year of high school. We loved it!

Mark knopfler is my hero. I love his style of playing. They have tons of other hits out there that are rapidly becoming classics. "Romeo and juliet" "brothers in arms" "money for nothing" (was big on MTV)to name a few. Solid rock band.

Mark Knopfler is still rated as one of the best guitarists , as I'm sure you all ready know. And there was quite the controversy over 'money for nothing' back in the day. The music vid had some really dodgy computer generated graphics that has not aged well AT ALL(and not the reason people got offended over). All of their songs are great songs and well worth a listen and even a re listen. Brilliant musicians.

One of the best guitarists in the world.

I'm so glad you lads loved Sultans and gave it the double fire. Mark Knopler is a KILLER guitar player, one of the best to every do it. Check out "Money for Nothin" next!

the guy 2nd from the right obviously plays guitar and he 'gets it' just how amazing the guitars are on this song.

It’s nice and refreshing to see young men enjoying good music

Underrated band. You guys should also check out Water Of Love, Tunnel Of Love, Romeo & Juliet, So Far Away, Money For Nothing, Walk Of Life, & Brothers In Arms
