The lack of a video is easy to understand.

The musicians go into their home studio and do a few passes and send the tracks to Guy. Guy takes them and edits them into the song, probably "comping" a few takes.

To ask the musicians to do a video is a whole different prospect. You either have to ask them to film the original time recording, or you have to ask them to be filmed miming to the finished product. Either way, you are talking about 60 x camera persons/lighting/make up whatever. Yes it's possible but it's not really practical, particularly in an age where basically very few people "pay" for music and the object of the exercise is to raise money for charity.

It's easy to fix though. And hope it's something we'll see in the finished video (which wasn't done in 2+ years for some reason, and considering expectations are meant to be broken, I doubt that). All you need to do is yes, ask people to record themselves playing, on their phone, laptop, GoPro, security camera or whatever. They all have guitar techs, wives, producers, and mates who can help them, even fridges have cameras these days, so it doesn't need to be good. A shitty video of a celebrity worth more than any 8K RED camera footage a fan can record.

Obviously, not everybody will do that, then you can just cut to "house band" playing or Mark playing, displaying the name in the video somewhere.

Hard to edit? Well, maybe, but you have names of guitar players in audio tracks, and you can even synchronise the audio automatically, no manual labour is needed. With original videos and a finished audio track, I could complete this task in a few hours. All this tells me it wasn't in the pipeline. And if it wasn't in the pipeline, it's bad production, as simple as that.

The finished video doesn't contain video of the players (so you can be disapointed again), Guy said that already. It's only a guide for who plays where.. Today is the release

There are two things that bug me a little: The fact that it's called Mark Knopfler's Guitar Heroes and that it is his song they are playing. As long as the project earns money for the charities, who cares, but it's a bit much "Mark Knopfler". It can not be a coincidence that his new album is being released shortly after. If anything, his album should have been released before the GH single. And when they say the proceeds go to the charities, do the proceeds include royalties Mark earns from Going Home?

Got a better idea for the name?

Guitar Heroes United
TCT All-Stars Band
Cancerbusters (not really ...)
Six-String Superstars

Sorry, I think you misunderstood my question, I was asking if you had a better name, but all the examples you have provided are clearly worse :)

In all seriousness, when you are doing something like this press coverage and publicity is king. So it makes sense to make someone the focal point who will agree to go out and do press and media interviews as MK has done. And as for the new album, and the auction, well if MK is more visible for any reason then it's good publicity for the single. I seriously doubt anyone will buy MK's new album who hasn't already bought the charity single.

Ha-ha! Those were just off the top of my head. No, but I mean it; the name should reflect it's a collaborative effort, not MK plus ... Anyway. Something good is being done for people in need, so I'll shut up  :)

Yes.

I just listened on Spotify and I don't remember hearing the Sonny Landreth stuff the first time round but maybe I justr wasn't paying attention. :)

In that Podcast, Guy said that the vinyl definitely was the main format from this release. It's strange that they obviously cut something from this. It has not technical (length) reasons so I wonder why they did it really.

The finished video doesn't contain video of the players (so you can be disapointed again), Guy said that already. It's only a guide for who plays where.. Today is the release

do we know at what time it will be published ?

They're probably struggling, converting Windows movie maker files to MP4  ;D

seriously, I am very much looking forward to this video, because we will finnally know WHO plays WHAT  :P

its' a big obssession for me, on every record I listen to.

It would be the graal for me to have this kind of video for all great records I like...

books like "La totale" series give a lot of deep information though...

But imagine a track-video for each song in rock history... oh my god !
