Joe Satriani & Others On Mark Knopfler

I have found an interesting article from a year ago, in which some famous guitarists give their opinion on Mark, never realized these guys are fans, apart from one obviously.

“The funny thing is, he’s known for his understated lines that just captivate you, but he’s a real badass. In the studio he’ll let loose with riffs that just turn my head around and make me say, ‘What the hell was that?’ But he’s never about being flashy. For him, it’s all about serving the song"

Beautiful words

Thanks gjamesfloyd:)

I do so hate these kind of quotes; they just say what they think fans want to hear.  "Serving the song" is the same as "the song is king", the sort of thing Mark has said himself countless times.
