Wow, what a great 4-word analysis of Mark's playing from David :lol Honestly, it was pretty predictable and not as dramatic as somebody would want to. Just a couple of nice words about MK from David and a big essay on this from some journalist. As if we needed a reminder to know that Mark is an amazing guitar player.

Sorry

Interesting. Would love to see them working together.

I really don't see the common ground.

I really don't see the common ground.
They are both white male in their seventies playing the guitar... ah and they are British.
Joke aside, I love them both each in his own musical world but they are indeed truly worlds apart when music is concerned.
I'd rather hear a Santana guitar solo on the 2019 version of Paraguay than hear Gilmour on say Romeo and Juliet or Sultans.
Maybe Gilmour could do something on Brothers in Arms, there is something in the theme of the song and its mood that can be reminiscent of Pink Floyd but I can't imagine MK's style on any of Pink Floyd songs.
-
They could play Rock N Roll or Bluesy stuff together.

But for example, in reviews of The Division Bell album, the name Dire Straits sometimes appears.

yes, for "coming back to life"

Honestly, I also can't see a common ground for their musical collaboration, but I would love to see the two speaking about music in an interview/podcast/radio format.

Exactly!

That would be cool indeed.
-
I love them so much as individual lead players that I’m not sure I’d actually want to hear a collaboration between them both.
A conversation between them would be epic though.
-
I would to hear MK guitar on the new album by Robert Plant. They have a lot in common. They see many things in the same way.
-
They did play together in the classic French and Saunders skit, and they did a sort of jam at the end, not quite what we are talking about here, but close. At first thought, their styles don't seem to work together, however, when Gilmour plays the Blues, it is similar to Eric Clapton, and he plays with Mark, so I could see where it would work, certainly they could play acoustically together. I would much prefer Mark to play with Mike Oldfield, they have more in common musically, but that's just wishful thinking on my part.
-
Both Gilmour and Oldfied are experimental types. A lot more philosophical perspective on things. I really don't see Mark fitting in with any of them musically.

never forget Far Out is a clickbait site. i hate them...still, nice quote...

Don’t know if you guys are aware of that but that quote is from like… 30 years ago lol

and what a song that is!!!

Early Oldfield maybe, but he is more like Mark in lots of ways, he released a Celtic album called Voyager in 1996 which includes several musicians Mark has played with, plus he is a highly accomplished fingerpicker, with his own style, and also started in folk clubs like Mark. Also, both Ian Thomas and Matt Rollings have played with Mike too.

we know. but i think it is not impposible for him to still do so, and vice versa.
both went to each others' shows/studios. so there is obvious mutual respect.
