Mark Knopfler Discussion Forum / Re: Best guitar riff

thanks for the link

the riff in Beat it is Steve Lukather. Van Halen only played the solo

Exactly, in fact as you probably know a lot of that Thriller album were the folks from Toto. Great session musicians. Jeff Porcaro on drums wow... and as we all know he was the king on "On Every Street."

But it's not him on my fave track of the album, PONO.
Manu did a perfect job.

Haha, that's ok iorch82, thanks for listening and thanks for the kind words! Don't worry I get enough comments on Youtube, by far the most on my ToL video, which blows me away! For RAtR my favourite bit was getting to do it on a DX1 - I'm intending to do every song of Sydney '86, and will use that DX1 as much as I can! If only I could snag some of MK's guitars in his auction next year... may have to settle for the book...

Don't worry, the book is also the only thing I can [barely] afford in this auction

Impressive work on this DX1. A lot of people can play the guitar, but once you try these keyboards man... You get a new perspective on why Guy Fletcher has worked with Mark for a million years now. Love your dedication to this 1986 show, a lot to like about it!
