Mark Knopfler is annoying af, sorry.
Like, he's playing along with a song and then he just whips out these amazing guitar solos like "yeah, whatever, just had it in my pocket, WHATEVER SUCKERZZZZ"

@66ALW99 Lots of musicians do things like that during live shows. Mixing it up to make it unique, not a copy of the recording.
@CJLavoie Sure, but at least make it look like it takes a bit of effort!
@66ALW99 MK is much better after he went solo. Still going strong imho.
@66ALW99 Gilmour's expression is always like he's working out what word six across is.
@Clavius_42 "6 across? let me see. Oh, I know, it's <cue amazeballs guitar solo>"
@66ALW99 My favourite solo will always be Comfortably Numb from PULSE (I was at Earls Court). What is it, like 15-20 minutes of hitting musical g-spots? And his face through it all is like, "If it's dry tomorrow I might go for a walk...better take a light jacket, though, just in case..."
@Clavius_42 "ah yes, must remember to pick up some bread" <bends string up 5 spots>
His Neck to Neck album with Chet Atkins is one of my faves
That bloody Dave Gilmour does it too. Like, wtf Dave. At least do some guitar gurning like it takes some effort to pull off the most amazing solos known to humankind. Dick.
