I don’t know about Argentina but when they came to Brazil they were referred as Dire Straits with a new lineup. It was all over the press. They even gave TV interviews introducing Marco as ‘the new DS singer’. I’m sure there are still lots of people out there who truly believe that have been to a Dire Straits concert.

wow that's disgusting

I found it hard to believe that there are still people that think that DS still exist after more than 25 years MK and JI disbanded the band….. :think

There are a lot of people who doesn't know much about the band, so if they are said this is the new DS with new singer they would believe it.

The DS Legacy people are not good coping with jokes. They are asking if Marco is the new singer of DS and they answer yes making fun of it but nobody understands the joke. They clearly state in his site they are not DS and they promote themselves as not being DS but the closest thing you can get. They should make clear in interviews that fact and stop joking about it.
You might get lucky, now and then

If for touring the world in front of thousand people, I agree. If he'd played in small pubs that would have been a different story. He plays guitars greatly though. This, and the fact that some of their members and promoters pretended that they WERE Dire Straits have been their major mistakes.

Usually, I have no problem with cover bands. I've seen some (Beatles, Queen...), they were "anonymous" musicians who didn't pretend to be what they were not, playing great, paying tribute to the real thing and having fun doing it in front of happy (nostalgic) audiences.

Are Legacy still touring btw, pandemic apart?

Seems they're playing cruise ships now.  lol

'Twistin by the pool' perhaps!!!

 :smack

I've a picture in my head of the band on the Titanic that kept playing on as the ship sank.  Maybe there's a metaphor in there somewhere.

I've just seen that Jack Sonni has played with them as well. We have to admit one thing: there's quite a bunch of ex-DS member that have joined this band at some point, and not to mention John Illsley too...

100% agree, the personnel have been there but they are nothing without 'The Master' steering the helm....

Nothing is a bit harsh because they can play well. DS just doesn't exist without the songs, the voice and the guitar of MK, period. We've said it before but the whole issue is that they pretended being the real deal (and some of those guys still do apparently). From that perspective, I can understand that MK is kinda upset about it. He may have talked about it with John or Danny behind the scene because these three are friends.

Again they are nothing without MK which is what you are saying too...
