On Sky Arts, AC/DC’s Brian Johnson and Dire Straits’ Mark Knopfler join forces for new six-parter Brian Johnson and Mark Knopfler’s Good Times. The rock legends will romp through the history of popular music alongside special guests including Sam Fender and Emmylou Harris. Greatest Guitar Riffs has the world’s best guitarists explore the power of the riff in gigs past and present and its place in pop culture.

Brian Johnson and Mark Knopfler’s Good Times is produced by Somethin’ Else TV Studio, part of 4th Floor Creative, a division of Sony Music Entertainment UK.

Greatest Guitar Riffs (3x60), Sky Arts and NOW, Autumn 2023: Forget solos. The riff is where legends are made. Join the world’s greatest living guitarists as they celebrate the power of the riff, a humble instrumental refrain which united us under its spell and changed music forever.  With masterclass demonstrations and stories of gigs past and present, the architects of our favourite songs will deconstruct their own riffs as well as those that inspired them, from the opening seconds of The Kinks’ You Really Got Me to Dolly Parton’s iconic intro to Jolene.

Fantastic! Mark on his own wouldn't work too well. Together with people like Brian or Brendan Croker he lets go and dares to be loose and mischievous. Looking forward to this.

On first glimpse I thought it was just the TV show by Brian Johnson where MK was a guest re-broadcast and I read it fast, and then suddenly something caught my attention and I said ”wait a moment, what?" And started reading again.

Nice thing. I guess that we will see MK doing many things like this in the future, as he's not playing live anymore.

He keeps blowing up the family radio as she won’t buy him an amp.

Great news!  :thumbsup
Brian's "On the Road" with Mark always puts a smile on my face when watching it, so I hope this new show will do as well.

Yes, they make a great duo of hosts, glad they decided to continue. Autumn 2023 however, wow! Will try not to forget about it when it finally comes out ;D

During the last RAH MK show I was lucky enough to met Brian Johnson and I was a little afraid to say him something, you know, a hard rock star and, wow, it was the kindest person I ever met, and he showed such a big respect and admiration of Mark that I felt incredibly happy of also being an ACDC fan.
