Dire Straits

[Alwin]

first band I came to like, history now

 

[Judge gsz]

hey judge i like your sig, well, i think it's quite funny...

who's it from?

Hehe, that's from a band that were one of my favorite during my teens :
Belgian Asociality!:Smokin:

I had to think about it when there was this gender war going on here some time back.

Anyway BA has loads of funny lyrics like that. But you have to take the crappy music with it. I like it though.

They also have some english lyrics, like this pearl :

"I was walking through the street one day
I saw a man with a bottle in his hand
I went to the man and I asked him in his face
He, man, what beer are you drinking there ?
You must be joking was what he said
only one beer goes in my head
you know, I am a Jupiler man
drink it as much as I can" and so on...


And also German :

"Hoogh in die Bergen war ein kleines Maidchen
ihr Nahme war Heidi, sie huppelde blei
durch die Bergen und die Alpen
zang ihres Liedchen, war friedich darbei

so glucklich, so blei

aber die Motorbande kahme furbei
sie haben die Heidi mitgenommen
sie haben sie genommen,
sie haben sie genommen
auf ihr Motorrad in die grosse Stad

leder Jekker, leder Hosen
manchen Bradwursten, stufen Bier und Schnapps
die Heidi ist dort leibich gewurden
sulchen Burschten, ein arschloch wie das
wie das, wie das, wie das, wie das

Iron Maidchen Heidi, sie war so schon
Iron Maidchen Heidi, mit ihr Jungmaachdenpreum

Iron Maidchen Heidi, was hast du gemacht
Jeder wer ihr annspricht werd hardhandig abgeschlacht
Iron Maidchen Heidi, du hast viel macht
Dem wer nicht mitzingt wert verkracht"

Sorry for the long off topic post!

"ik zei ma mens zijt stil
ge zit toch aan de pil!"

 

[Bastet]

hehehe! my son used to play their early cd's a lot! very funny band!

 

[cedarbreed]

I quite like Dire Straits. And yes, Knopfler's a great guitarist.

 

[Strangelight]

knopfler? biggest influence on anathema guitar style ever...
there was a programme and the bassist from blur was saying they were utter shit even though they sold millions of records... then he was bopping around like a twerp in one of his videos.... ho ho ho

do Brothers In Arms on the next tour

 

[Allan]

and You And Your Friend, Private Investigations, Why worry, Your Latest Trick, On Every Street, Hill Farmer's Blues, I'm The Fool, Sands of Nevada and Whoop de doo.

 

[Allan]

better yet, do Sultans of swing, might sound interesting.

 

[Victor Meldrew]

Anathema doing Sultans of Swing?

An English band playing a song about baseball to a crowd of Polish kids... that would be interesting!

 

[pagan2002]

young lads in the park? jumpers for goalposts? isnt it? wasnt it?? marvellous

grazed knees! aaargh!! ......WITCHHAZEL!!!! AARGHH!!!!!!!!

 

[Lord_Of_This_World]

note the hidden irony in Brothers In Arms suggestion

knopfler - great fingerpicking technique (or whatever it's called)

 

[Miles Behind]

I do hear Dire Straights one video called "Money For Nothing" andy fellow fans did also see this? GREAT!!!
