Mark is truly one of the greatest lead guitarists. He always makes his guitar sing along with him and the two are a match made in heaven. 🙋♂🙋♂
"We're fools to make war on our brothers in arms", such powerful lyrics
It was written about a fatally wounded British Soldier in the Falklands as his life ebbed away his mates stayed with him. It’s been played at many serviceman’s funeral and I’ve seen many a strong man with tears in his eyes when this is played.
It's an anti war song. Knopfler's grandfathers fought on different sides in WW1, one for the British and one for the Austro Hungarians, hence the final lines , We're fools to make war On our brothers in arms. It's not written about a fatally wounded British soldier in the Falklands. Some journalist thought it was about the Falklands, somebody wrote it was about the Falklands on wikipedia using that journalist as a source and now everyone is running around claiming it as true without any actual evidence. Any of you lot doing this got a quote from Knopfler stating it is about a British soldier in the Falklands war?? I think not.
Your entitled to your opinion but that is all it is. As an ex Falklands veteran I choose to think otherwise.
Never knew this, is this genuine?
@TheTaffia well, Knopfler's direct inspiration for this song was actually The Falkland War and some notification made by his father on that but true that this is one of the greatest anti war songs of all time, sharing the ordinary soldier' perspective
Surely a sign of a strong man would be to express emotion when appropriate?
We have just one world.
But we live in different ones.
An amazing line that sums up so many of the problems that exist in this world.
Millie. The more you look at Dire Straits the more you will find.
TELEGRAPH ROAD should be next... 🇦🇺
It always amazes me how quickly the attendees of Dire Straits/Mark Knopfler concert go dead silent at hearing the Intro start I’ve been a fan since ‘78 and attended many concerts at venues of different sizes, and still crickets when this starts.
This is played at many UK former service personnel funerals, especially those of us that served from '82 onwards I've heard it at Aussie funerals too it's a universal futility of war song.
It's about a soldier who is dying in the field. It's about the futility of war
You should not make war
You're only fighting a bunch of people who have been ordered by their superiors who sit back and don't get involved in all the pain and bleeding and dying.
Sometimes there are good reasons to fight. But that doesn't make the loss of life less tragic.
War Pigs!
I play this every Remembrance Day at 11am local time. It's a humbling song that chokes me up.
Well the classic one to listen to now is the Alchemy Live version of Sultans Of Swing. Sultans was Dire Straits' first hit, but this live version is significantly reworks and extended with one of the most epic guitar solos ever.
Been binge watching your reactions Millie , soo great, but this one got me , my little brother died at age 49 , me and my other brother decided this was a perfect song for us at his funeral, we are still brothers in arms ❤
God bless all our soldiers ❤ past and present, thank you xxx
Knopfler has a unique playing style. Melancholy is a great word to describe this song. There's a scene from the TV show "Miami Vice" that uses this song, and it's a really powerful scene. That show had some artistic videography anyway, and the sonic/visual picture they painted was very emotional.
Lindsey Buckingham of Fleetwood Mac is also a finger style guitarist, he's great but no Knopfler.
I'd say Mark and Lindsey are on equal ground. They're just on different hills.
La mejor música y de todos los tiempos
FYI - Mark Knopfler (former Dire Straits lead guitarist/ vocalist/ songwriter) has a new solo album in 2024 - 'One deep river'... Check out the song "Two pairs of hands"...
'Brothers in Arms' was written about British soldiers in the Falklands war of 1982... album title track of Dire Straits' biggest commercial album in 1985.
Thank you - so nice to finally see a Dire Straits reaction video that notices the brilliant bass player. He’s called John Illsley and is the co-founder of the band together with Mark Knopfler. I have listened to thousands and thousands of hours of Dire Straits music, both album and concerts, and I have never heard John Illsley miss even a single note. Solid and really great bass.
If you want to hear more I’d recommend the Alchemy Live album - the opening track “Once Upon A Time In The West” has a great bass line, but all the songs on there are fantastic. You won’t regret it.
Great reaction - but be careful if you pick up the guitar, Mark Knopfler is one of the worlds greatest guitar players with his completely unique fingerpicking and strumming style, it’s not easy to replicate
😉.
John Illsley is pretty handy on a guitar also actually, and has made some great solo music too - “In the Darkness” is a favourite of mine:
The music and the video are pure art.
Sultans of Swing and Tunnel of Love
Weird to think that I listened to this cassette over and over again in around 1985, when I was 11. Brothers In Arms is one of those songs that defines my childhood. There are only about 10 of them. If you like this vibe, you might like some amazing Jerry Rafferty stuff. And on CZcams Igor Presnyakov does a really nice solo acoustic version of Brothers In Arms.
Another fingerstyle Unlike most rock guitarists, Lindsey Buckingham does not play with a pick; instead, he picks the strings with his fingers and fingernails and tends to strum with his middle and ring fingers. Initially after joining Fleetwood Mac, Buckingham used a Gibson Les Paul Custom. Peace out
If you haven't already then give Dire Straits 'Sultans of Swing' live a go. Make sure it's the Alchemy one though as it's far superior. One of the best live performances ever caught on film! Mark Knopfler's guitar work is incredible in it.
The best vesion - brothers in arms live wembley❤❤❤
Mark Knopfler is one of the all-time guitar greats. Dire Straits released six studio albums and a couple live albums. Mark has done ten movie soundtracks (including “The Princess Bride”) and just released his 10th solo album this month (April 12, 2024). There’s a lot to explore!
This song was in a Miami vice episode!
Millie... El toca la guitarra con ese estilo por algo muy particular. Cuando joven deseaba que el padre le comprase una guitarra....después de mucho tiempo el padre se la pudo comprar. Pero el desconocimiento hizo que no le comprara las puas, pues el padre no sabía. El, por no pedirle de nuevo nada al padre, ya que fue un esfuerzo económico no quiso pedirle para que comprara las puyas. El se adapto y termino por acostumbrarse a tocar con los dedo con esa tecnica.....de hay su estilo. Esa es la historia.... porqué fue contada por el.
If you wan't to watch other fingerstile guitarists, you should watch some one like Chet Atkins - also called mr. Nashville, or Jerry Reed. They played together many times. And they were the best.
Never mind the base. What about Knopfler’s finger picking.
You would love Home Free's cover of this song.
HF really pays homage to this song, different but great respect to Mark and the song but awesome!!
But it's written in the starlight. And every line in your palm. We're fools to make war, On our brothers in arms !!
If you really enjoyed this one, i strongly recommend you address some more songs Of Dire Straits. Mark Knopfler solo work is really good too, there is a reason why he is considered one of the best guitar players.
Beautiful reaction. And so are you.❤
The bass wil walk you home
*Marknofler ensures your return
October ends has done it again! their new song is a masterpiece. React to it now!
Jeff Beck is a top guitarist who does finger-style playing for most of his songs. He's done covers of "A Day in the Life" (written by the Beatles) which are excellent. For many years his bad included Tal Wilkenfeld as the bassist, so you might enjoy those quite a bit. There is a video of them doing that song at Crossroads Guitar Festival 2007, and another which is live at Ronnie Scott's. The second one would probably be the better one to watch, since it's a much smaller stage. I suspect there are many other videos of his that you'd enjoy watching. Most of what he's done has been instrumental songs.
-We can see a classic scene with this song, on the TV show "Miami Vice" in the 1980's, (in last scene of the episode: 'Out Where the Buses Don't Run')
Hi, love your channel. I recommend the song Calling Elvis from DIRE STRAITS Live "On The Night" 1992. It's one of my favorite performances. Cheers all the best from Australia 👍🎸🎸🎸
Agreed - ‘Calling Elvis’ is a brilliant track from that gig!
Check out ‘Calling Elvis’ from the ‘On the Night’ concert- the guitar playing is epic! Btw, Lindsey Buckingham from Fleetwood Mac plays electric guitar finger-style - watch ‘Go your own Way’ from ‘The Dance’!
Song great.🇬🇧
Bonjour de France Millie
Merci pour ce partage magnifique
Je te propose de faire entendre ''Antisocial'' du groupe Français TRUST ...maintes fois repris..une merveille !!
Beautiful and emotional
Must be one of Dire Straits best songs you have to understand the meaning of it to understand the song
Jeff Beck played great finger style on the electric. Cause we've ended as lovers Live at Ronnie Scott's.
Once upon a time in the west,good band saw them when I was a kid, Stevie Ray Vaughan So excited live at the el mocambo, Beth Hart and Joe Bonamassa Id rather go blind live,😊😊😊
I saw in a documentary, where Mark K' made a note of the military service share of this song. He learned that during the first Gulf War in early Feb'1991, as British tank crew went into Iran (using GPS, which Iraq did not have, and they didn't consider that armies could traverse the deserts) -during the night, British Tanks stopped "somewhere" in the desert to refuel, and the soldiers to rest, have tea, do maintaninece -that "Brothers in Arms" was played between the tanks, from CD,...likely other tunes too, yet Mark K' was rewarded, he said, by this song played.
Mark Knopler is definitely one of my favorite guitarists. And If you would like to see another great finger picking electric guitar player, watch or react to Fleetwood Mac's "I'm So Afraid" with Lindsay Buckingham on guitar and lead vocals. The song kind of has Pink Floyd vibes to it in my opinion.
You should react to the live performance of this, Dire Straits- Brothers and Arms (On The Night Live), also another Dire Straits song you should react to is Sultans of Swing
Héllo de France Bonsoir regarder le live de 1993 encore plus émouvant 😊😊
Hi Millie,
Loving your reactions❤❤
You need to react to Dire Straits when they were playing live, showing the talent!
Sultans of Swing and Telegraph Road from the Alchemy tour are best, in fact, they're some of the best live performances you'll ever see!
Try the studio version from the LP - it's exactly the same version as this video version but it's got an extra two minutes on the end that they for some reason trimmed off this video. Having heard that, this version always sounds unfinished to me.
Another amazing finger style electric guitarist is Lindsey Buckingham (Fleetwood Mac). Check out Big Love.
look its a great video but i really wish these guys would do the original longer album version its sets the thing up better. still great tho
Do this song but live at Mandelas Birthday bash, if you want the full experience, it wil blow your socks off.
Dire Straits, LOVEBITES, and "Back To The Future", you always find what I like!
"Brothers In Arms" is one of my all time favorite songs, it always gets me!
Mark Knopfler is one of the guitarists, who doesn't play it, he celebrates it (David Gilmour, Eric Clapton being another examples).
There are some pretty nice suggestions possible, I'll leave it at "Telegraph Road" (unless you don't react to "Sultans Of Swing", "Walk Of Life", "Money For Nothing", "Tunnel Of Love", or "Romeo And Juliet").
LOL, Eric Clapton and David Gilmour are mentioned more than once in other comments! That's purely coincidental! [This was in reference to the reaction from March 14th, 2023!]
You should check out Lindsey Buckingham of Fleetwood Mac, he has a very particular finger style as well.
maybe listen again and catch more of the words. "We're fools to make war on our brothers in arms"
Don't worry, I play bass too. When I play guitar, I use Mark's finger picking technique cos I habitually drop plectrums. It's not particularly difficult to get the hang of.
Check out tunnel of love live 1985
You did grab hold of the concept of watching you're mates dying while you still survive knowing at all that was lost by you and your lost bothers.
Nope, she's too busy talking over the entire video!!!
No TALKING
Quiet young lady
You And Your Friend , has a great bass line too.
If you’re looking for other Dire Straits songs to review, here’s one of their tunes with a lively bass line that’s one of my favorites.
Dire Straits
“Industrial Disease”
Love Over Gold
(1982)

Love how Eric Clapton was able to restrain himself and let Mark Knopfler do his epic work! ;-) Two of the best guitar players ever! [Ooops, that was an old comment of mine! 1 year old!]
Eric Clapton isn't on this track. They borrowed some of his guitars and they've played this song live together, but not on the studio version. Unless you meant something else. 😊
Miss Milli, this song is about the Falkland wars of one Maggie Thatcher. As most wars go, it was unnessesary and cruel, many good men died on both sides. Mr. Knopfler wrote this song after listening to veterans of this war.
You Dear, be safe.
Elmar from Germany
You should hear "Voice Play" acapella version of this song
Finger style guitar... do check out Jeff Beck, absolute master.
Any live performance will show his skills. He also plays off his base player very well.
You might also want to check out
The Cranberries "Zombie"
If you like bass, I would highly recommend taking a look at "Primus", Les Claypool is an insaneand unique bass-player. Probably my first choice would be "Wynona's Big Brown Beaver". Catchy song, and very funny music video.
"Is the song about soldiers?"
If you hadn't talked over the lyrics you may have heard.
Steve Millar used to play his gat finger style a lot way back ,the steve miller band was awesome steve was awesome you should check him out ,.
Great pick for a reaction video, Millie. I've been loving Dire Straits and Mark Knopfler's music since back in the day. I'm a bassist, also, and I love playing this one. "ROMEO AND JULIET" czcams.com/video/rC95MEenIxA/video.html is a blast to play, too. Mark Knopfler's finger style is quite distinctive. If you want to watch another master guitarist finger pick an electric guitar, check out Joe Bonamassa. He holds a pick at the ready in the crook of his index finger so he can switch back and forth between pick and fingers. Terrific reaction, Millie! ;)
money for nothing , so far away , tunnel of ,sultans of swing , mark knopfler in top of best guitarrist
ITALIANO, MATTEO MANCUSO IS A YOUNG GUITAR GENIUS WHO PLAYS ELECTRIC GUITAR WITH HIS FINGERS. THE NEXT GENERATION OF GREATNESS. CHECK HIM OUT. GREAT REACTION MILLIE....CRACK ON GIRL !
Do a reaction from the band (Pitty - Na sua estante) this song has an animation that you will definitely like😁😘
I suggest you check out the version by the bands of H.M. Royal Marines, so much more poignant when played by the military, huge thanks to all ex and current personnel for their service 🇬🇧
You already react at live version with Eric Clapton
Hello there hey there hey Hello hi hello hey hello hey there
Wow! I've changed the device for comments, but I took the wrong video, that you did a year ago! Have to copy my comments now!
Okay, one difference: This is the studio version (that other one was a live performance featuring Eric Clapton!)...
Reaction to the UK Falklands war against Argentina.
Can you react too (Take What You Want by One Ok Rock) please.
Tunnel of love alchemy live ❤
This is a true sad song. I wish you would stop when commenting or wait until the end because so much of the crucial lyrics were missed as you spoke over them. I do truly enjoy your reactions but the most important part about listening to a new song for the first time is really following the lyrics very closely. 😉
If you want to see another famous finger-picking electric guitarist, look to Lindsay Buckingham of Fleetwood Mac fame.
He wrote the song when Britain "invaded" the Falkland Islands off Argentina. Argentina claimed the island but, the people there are British subjects. It IS a protest song and the last part is the important part saying, "we are fools to make war on our brothers in arms"! The world is destroying itself over petty greed and corruption. This song still has a place today, maybe more than ever.
argentina were the invaders not the British.
@@neiledwards6531 That’s why I put the word in QUOTES!
you can better listen to the live version!
this video should actually show all the poor man who die on the frontline right now in trenches somewhere inbetween kiew and moscow every day right now. thousands every day
Hey! You don't talk during the lyrics of Brothers in Arms!
🙏👍🫶
Dire Straits, Sultans of Swing from Alchemy Live - a must !
If you want another track you could go with those that have been done many times before, or you could go off pieste with. Idustrial Disease czcams.com/video/g3X3rKtruSg/video.html
I know Ukrainians who have been killed in battle and civilians in missile strikes from russia.. appreciate this reaction.
It´s about the Falkland War
maybe read about the importance of a song before you listen to it .. just some friendly advice ... then youll understand the magnitude of what was created at the time
Would you please just shut up ...(I mean that in a nice way).. this song deserves a better reaction, one where there is no talking....just understanding.
Make "Love" not War. Yo were too much talking !!! Saying that your loving the bass just for one time ahd been enough !!!!!!!!!!
I usually like your reaction videos so will try to be constructive here.
You picked up SOME of the nuances in this track but missed a whole lot more that as a total package make this song what it is. It is not just about the bass or melancholic brilliance of Knopfler's guitar.
I get you're a reactor and need to comment but would recommend that you either pause (then rewind just a bit), overlay your comments into your video or wait until the end to comment. What you missed was the rest of the musical accompaniment and the very powerful lyrics that go with the brilliant visuals/video. You can't react again, but I'd suggest listening and watching perhaps with the lyrics if you can't pick them up. It's a greater overall experience of this song.
Hablas mucho durante el tema
I'm not a Dire Straits fan but this song does something to me.
dommage que vous parliez pendant la chanson !!!!
Talking Talking and a lot of bull
I don't like to feel you sad... but that's a touching reaction....
And yes try to learn this one on bass if you can
Tu pourrais te taire sur le solo stp.
