Rock and roll hall of fame

I agree that some of you are reading too much beyond any wildest dreams...

Yeah, he just casually picked the song he probably had the most of his composer's impact with DS, nothing strange. Coincidence, nothing more.

We all know TR is the most challenging DS song to play, Guy has stated that several times. Now just imagine how hilarious and surreal that would be to perform TR with the instruments Alan mentioned. It's all about the contrast, at least that's my interpretation.

I dunno... Nobody would perform a 15 minute song receiving any type of award anyway. Even played on an ukulele

That's exactly the point

Sorry, but please tell me why a joke about TR, not SOS?  I think SOS is the most symbolic song of DS, but here why a joke about TR?  I read somewhere AC wants to have writing credit on TR.  I'm not talking about which song is the most challenging song to play, and it's obvious that choosing the most challenging song to play for a long time disbanded members is not a good idea.

AC was not part of SOS at the time of the writing whereas we all know that even if AC did not compose TR he was involved in the "birth" of that song.

My 0.02 on it.

Stay cool

Maybe because playing Sultans on the ukelele isn't that absurd? In fact if you go on Youtube you will find many examples. Alan tried to sound as absurd as possible, that's all. Sometimes you come across a joke from another country and it doesn't land. I lived in New Zealand for three years and know how frustrating it can be.

Wait for Alan reading all that and putting even more hilarious jokes on his website

I think the induction of Dire Straits is in dire straits...

Imagine now they do play TR with an ukelele. Guy plays ukelele. Who is going to fix MK's bicycle from now on?

The forthcoming tour would be in serious problems. Such a betrayal would depress MK till death.

Just joking seriously.

Well, it's been done before! And even in Czech language to make things more interesting:

You just uncovered the video for the induction. The last one, close the door, please 🤣🤣🤣🤣

[Eddie Fox]

Lol that must be why Alan made the joke, that sounds horrible!

Check out the ending, they're going wild on these banjos!

it's fantastic, they are in the future, it's what the MK 2019 tour is going to sound like 

[Marijo58]

As much as I disapprove Alan's attempt to milk DS I loved the joke. Isn't it clear DS is not performing? Isn't it obvious that Alan wanted to perform? Can you imagine how many times people have asked him about it? He got fed up and cracked a joke. That's called sarcasm and brits do it better than anyone. I still can't believe some journalists took it seriously and published it. Classic.

It could be a joke but also an attack to MK

A way to say, look what TR (and DS songs in general) has become, ukulele banjo etc , we could play them much better if DS were back

I think you're reading too much into it. Alan has disrespected Mark a few times for sure but I don't think that's the case here, that's pure sarcasm.

Yes that's what I think it is too!!! AC is still a very angry ex member of DS....
