Title: Guitarist interview
Post by: cannibals on March 10, 2015, 01:13:51 PM
Does someone read the interview in the latest edition of Guitarist (only in UK i think). Something about MK playing Sultans in pain also mentioned in Guy's forum today. Perhaps anyone have more info about this and the interview??  :wave

I bought it as well. Hoping to receive it soon! But unfortunately they told me it takes 10 to 14 days to deliver it in Europe. :(

Apparently, Guitarist Magazine gave the album 4.1/2 out of 5!    :thumbsup

I'm hoping to buy the magazine tomorrow, if I can!    :)

Oh really Klaas, I didn't ask, I just assumed that it would take less time as it's coming from  Great Britain!! Anyway I checked on our french Guitarist Magazine and there are no MK's interview on the March April 2015 Issue which I find very odd!! :wave

Thanks for that. Nice to read a well-written interview, although it didn't reveal much that we didn't know already.

Sorry to be a spoilsport but I don't think we can encourage piracy on this site.

Posting the mag was well intentioned but could see the site hit with legal action by the publishers.

I'll take advice from fellow editors and if they feel differently we can reinstate the link but for the time being I feel it's too risky to AMIT. :(

Come to think of it, I'm not sure posting the entire reviews in the review thread I started is perfectly legal either. Maybe we should just provide the links?
Title: Re: Guitarist interview
Post by: yontwocrows on March 10, 2015, 10:06:55 PM
The problem is that AMIT as a fanbase has an interest to collect this reviews and information as a database. Providing the links means that the informations get lost. I hope that it is ok, to copy an article (that has not to be paid and is available), put it in the forum and to give at the beginnig of the post the source-link. To do it perfectly right, we should ask permission of every source.

Copying a review posted online is one thing.

Providing a download link for a magazine that costs £5.75 (not much less than a Tracker CD!) a couple of days after publication is different IMO.

In any case, I'm not trying to take a moral stance on this issue, just avoid the site getting into legal difficulties.

You can buy the digital version at zinio.com. I payed a bit more than 5 Euros, just reading it now.
Unfortunately you cannot download it as PDF or so but must read it with their reader or an app online

Hello, has somebody received The Guitarist magazine yet? I'm still waiting for it and I wonder if it's normal? Thanks. ???







I bought it as well. Hoping to receive it soon! But unfortunately they told me it takes 10 to 14 days to deliver it in Europe. :(

From the editorial page at the start of the magazine:

'Mark my words'
It was a pleasure to interview Mark Knopfler for this months cover story. As we were talking, a memory from teenage years came to mind. Occasionally, I'd drop by a friends house, where his older brother would often hold court dispensing worldly wisdom to us young'uns. One day, he declared it was a scientific fact that Mark Knopfler was the best guitarist in the world!! As if Knopfler had been fitted with sensors in Swiss institute alongside Page, Clapton, Gilmour and others and come out on top. I was telling a workmate about this and he recalled a family argument that nearly errupted over the same surprisingly contentious point..is Mark Knopfler the greatest guitarist in the world? Lots of people are passionately connected with Knopfler's music, as some are to football teams - and that's not purely down to his playing. It's also the stories he tells in his lyrics.
Like good short films, the scenes and people in his songs are rooted in everyday experience, observed with a compassionate eye. I'd like to think that when vocal champions of Knopfler's playing call him the best in the world, they mean he is a wonderful storyteller and songwriter too. Because all the technic in the world can't make people feel what a great lyric, accompanied by a handful of well chosen notes can....

Absolutely brilliant summarisation of our hero I'd say personally...

^ thank you Knopflerfan, yes that's a beautiful editorial & quite funny!

I think one of the early guitar mag interviews from the 80s described him once as " he arrived from nowhere, a guitar god, fully formed .." or words like it

Yep. This is what made DS a band like no others.
I just regret that for some time his dylanesque side took over.
