- Thank you to our mystery bass player! And thanks as well to Fin for help during the recording and Peter for help with the mixing.
When we made this video we wanted to get the best sound quality we could by recording the sound first under studio conditions and then mixing it to produce a final version - only then did we record the video showing the band performing to the sound track. The sound recording also has a rhythm guitar part (played by the lead guitarist) and of course the bass guitar part played by our guest mystery bass player (actually he is the lead guitarist's maths teacher from school). What that means is that there may be points in the video where you can hear stuff that is not actully being performed. There may even be parts in the video where we edit in a close up taken from the individual sound recordings that we did on a different day and they are wearing different clothes! Don't panic! We are new to this so we are still learning how to make videos!

Please read the video description! It explains how the video was made.
To whoever is working with these kids, two thumbs up to you! They're awesome!
*"For the kids!"* 😏👉 👍🏼
This is not a testament to kids showing off that grow up with two joysticks as a best friend and a tablet as a babysitter. Keep working it young people, music can be your friend for life. Parents, Great Job for your part in these kiddos music education. ❣️❣️❣️
Just got my g'dau a full size Drum set, she 6, says her kiddi set was too small
Hope she sticks with it.
@@theceska8345 Give her praise for everything she does, if you can. Praise installs a self-confidence no one can otherwise apply, it has to come from within. I can be helped along though, and that's what honest happy praise does for a child who might otherwise lose faith in their abilities, or their self.
Take a look at the words in the video description
the kid on guitar,if he sticks at it , will do great things when he is older
I agree. He did the lead quite well -in spite that his hands are not fully grown. 😎
Doing great things TODAY!
Brilliant, young man
Watch closer. Its an Adult playing guitar.
@@michael49022that’s the bass.
Shout out to the unsung hero, keeping the rhythm going: the keyboard player.
@@NEbluefire As a former teenaged drummer... I think I've shown the standard I was at...!
without a bass player, her job is very important.
There is a bass player. He is the other side of the room. There are several cutaway shots although his face is not shown here.
@@stephengreen8986 seems like the bass player is one of their dads, he played his part later when editing the video, not actually with them.
So for the sake of keeping the rhythm when the kids were playing, he was not there.
@@panda4247 It says in the description that the bass player is the lead guitarist's maths teacher, not a parent of any of the kids.
Imagine having kids this talented. Great work mom and dad!
Hell YEAH!!!!!
@MPLifts1111
Can never imagine that. Can you imagine being a kid this talented?
Can just imagine Mark watching this , with the biggest smile on his face 😃.
when he (they) gets up under the lights, to play his thing...
Eu tmb ...😊
Magníficos ❤
They’re good!
A grin to say the least. These kids are fantabulous. We might be seeing the next rock group. Who knows anything is possible with this group. Everyone get their autographs while they are free. Future artists coming in the future. Good luck to you all. Remember your autographs are free to me when you are rich and famous.💰💵💸👍✍️🎸
This is brilliant. I'm 70, I'd like to see them in a few years, and look out world
Same here 70 and knowing their hearts are filled with joy.
69 and love kids playing classic. Mark needs to see this.
I’m Happy that they enjoy awesome tunes and are enjoying themselves ‼️👍👏👏👏👏👏👏👏😃👍
71 and I’m doin’ all right!
this sucks...
The electric lead guitarist has killer instinct! He is full of confidence and style ! Bravo! Already he a rocking guitar player! GOD bless this young band !
Yes killer instinct is exactly right. His freedom in playing rhythm is spot on.
Warms my heart to see and hear young people playing real music with real instruments. Fantastic!😊
These guys are good
Absolutely fantastic. Whoever is teaching these kids the classics this well deserves a Rolling Stone mag music award. Well done to the group
I’ve sent this to Guy Fletcher, Mark’s right hand man, he needs to see this!
Solo so clean!❤
Never expected these kids to come up with such a performance. They have truly got the spirit of thi great song.
This is how great bands get started. Keep at kids!
Mark Knopfler would be very proud of these guys! Spot on!😁
Excellent performance! This is why every school should fully fund their music program. Kids get to be a part of something bigger than themselves, and it makes memories for a lifetime.
They just implemented a program at my grand daughters HS. She is one of the lead singers.
Yes! Music is so important!
Exactly🎉
I agree music is important to children. Schools cutting the music should re-examine what music does. It helps your health and gives you confidence in yourself.
Look at these kids smiling and having fun. They are very talented. They are doing something together and having a blast .
Such a blessing seeing young people playing this timeless masterpiece
These kids ROCK! They're going places!
They really smashed the song like dragons . 💯💯💯
wow , the guitarist is so good!
front man is handsome , girl
cute, drummer good too !
wish all of you great future in
the music industry!
And the lil singer? Edit: oh you already mentioned him
True
I like the vocals
Wow . That was great . Not only great playing and singing , but also performing a 1970s classic , over 40 years ago and way before any of these were born .
These kids remind me of the School of Rock movie. Keep rocking in the free world, kids!
I had given up hope for the kids of today until I saw this and it restored my faith. Superb.
Sure Mark Knopfler should be proud of this amazing ! Bravo!!!
È finto, sei proprio cieco!
Wow! Just Wow . . . . !! These kids are going places. Mr Knopfler would be amazed I'm sure. 😉
For these young musicians to pick this song as a song they want to play says a lot about them. I'm blown away. This is just fun to listen too.
I highly doubt these kids picked the song.
They are just awesome....
Absolutely fun!
Hard song all around... Good job done...
One good thing about the internet: - they can watch this in 20 years and be proud of where it all started.
Wish someone had made some film of my first band.
It was probably shit
@@TN75428 just as many things in the starting. And portable vhs-recorder were rare.😕
I have seen Dire Steaits live 4 times. I would willingly have paid the same amount to see these amazing kids live..
Superb ..
🙌..
Someone passed the torch, and the kids are burning it bright! Excellent job, guys!
One of my all time favorite songs, these kids are great.
True Bands and true music never die. Thanks to the young generation. You rock guys. Thumbs up ❤
How could anyone not give this a thumbs up.
Unbelievable..
So good to see these children play such a long version.❤
The singer is also awesome!!
❤❤❤❤❤
These kids are great. Luv the singer's voice. So pleasant!❤
Brilliant what a super age to start a band and be this good 👍
Rock’ n Roll will never die.
AMEN!
Amen.
I'm 16 and in a band called Party Hat Club. We are playing our first gigs this summer and already have built a decent following and are even traveling 5 hours to Chicago to play a music festival and I can confirm this is totally were it all starts. Playing in a band for the first time when I wasn't much older than these guys is what really began to set me up for success. Even though I play a different instrument in this band than I did those years ago, it was very formative in my abilities to collaborate with others. You guys sound great already and if you put in the work you can go great places. Never stop playing music.
Wow, your good, little ones! I’m 73, and remember this song playing on radio, back in my day! Great job! Totally unexpectedly, showed up in my feed. ✌️👏🦋🧡
Wow! Mark Knopfler would be smiling watching these talented kids!
Everytime nice to see very young kids playing rock'n roll
It ain't what they call --- Creole
Thanks Dad for the help. Smashing Dragons you were terrific! Looking forward to the next one. I am really impressed how great the singer was. Very comfortable.
They are just great wish them the best of luck
I'm admiring the the little guitarist. At that age I could just struggle through house of the rising sun (not any better now) but he's doing a pretty impressive job at that!
WOW!! Speechless... And the Song is NOT easy. You four can be proud! Hey the drummer made a good Job, and your singers voice is... is.... is....honey! The sort of honey you get from mountain bee, you know? I mean it is not as sweet but it is somehow above sweet. God bless you for the courage playing guitar solo in Mark Knopflers footsteps... we all know how big his footprints are... but that was waaaay better as I have expected! Holy Moly... Guys....go your way PLEASE... LET IT JUST COME... and stay normal kids (even as adults! )...you made my heart melt.
I'm 55 yrs old toured with many of bands here in the U.S.A., retired now. I love this so much! I'd sport this band's shirt! Keep climbing littles...chase your dream, you've got this!
Love watching kids ROCKING N ROLLING ❤ I SAVE THEM FOR MY GRANDKIDS ❤
Very well done, says a huge Dire Straits fan..
Absolutely awesome every single one of you! And I think a certain Mr Knopfler would be impressed with the guitar playing 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
What guitar playing?
@@Johnny35130 er, the guy playing the guitar?
Brilliant ❤
These young people are incredibly talented and they've got their own spin of Dire Straights version of the song. I've always loved that song, especially if you're listening in an altered state and reminiscing about the past when it was a newly released cassette tape.
Can't help but give the thumbs up. Guitarist as good as the keys as is the drummer. And the singer is a beauty.❤
Wish there was a button for BOTH thumbs up!
What a voice, with attitude! Love it. Keep on kids. Talent scouts are watching xx
Those little fingers hitting those notes. Incredible.
OLEEEEEEEEE Gracias 😍
We covered this track years ago and I know it's a difficult song. I was surprised when I clicked on the video and saw what a great job you guys have done 👍✅.
Keep it going, but most importantly, have fun with it.
Yesssss that's the most IMPORTANT thing, do your best but have FUN!
That was absolutely amazing!
This was fantastic! Not to rush through his childhood, but I'd love to hear this singer
ten years from now. Heck, I hope they all remain friends and playing and hear them All ten years from now. 🧡
So jung und schon so talentiert.
Dieser Song ,besonders das Instrumental ist schon alte Hasen ein Herrausforderung .
Aus euch wird was Grosses ,das hört man jetzt schon raus !!
Macht weiter so ,ihr seid Klasse !!!❤❤❤
500 mal besser als Tokio Hotel
If I see those fantastic kids, I look brighter in the future. They are the solution. Not for all, but for much. Great work.
The torch has been passed! Well done!
Shredding stylings of the Knofler classic. Simply wonderful
It’s nice to see young people doing good things. Rather than out getting in trouble. You boys and of course, the girl are really excellent musicians for their age. I’ve been playing guitar for 50 years. I started at 22 and I am 70 now the years have gone fast. So keep doing what you’re doing or a bad make album and make a lot of money. Good luck. You do a beautiful job on this song. Wish you all the best of success.👍👍😄😎🎸🎼🎵🎶😎❤️ love it❤️
One of my favorite songs. Gave it a listen while I was at work, and ended up not working and just jamming out to the beat at my desk haha!
To all the band members, you each did an excellent job at your respective parts. I know this song inside and out, and even though my ears could pick up a missed note here or there, that's to be expected when you're not a pro! But I've been playing guitar as a hobby since I was like, 10, and I'm in my 30s now - and I recognized guitar parts that I don't think I could do without tons of practice on those specific note sequences.
Same goes for the keyboard player, excellent job, you're on the right path to greatness!
Vocals? Absolutely amazing. Don't ever stop pursuing it if you wanna take that path! Never let anybody tell you anything less than how awesome your singing is! I refuse to sing in front of other people because I was teased as a kid. Even though I can harmonize to my favorite songs pretty well.
Drums? I dunno much about them, but anyone who can hit different beats on three things at once is a champ. I can BARELY pat my head and rub my belly lol. But you did great, do some more work on your tempo pacing and you'll be a pro in no time!
All of you ROCK, the people helping you out ROCK and this song ROCKS 💜
M.K. & D.S. my all time fav artist & band. I saw the caption and thought "ok little kids covering D.S. that should be cute." WoW! What a shocking good surprise. It was ALL there....vocal talent ,musical talent,good looks,appropriate attitude....and they managed to pull it off without giving me that sad feeling ya get when you see children that KNOW too much about adult world. They gave an adult performance and yet remained a sweet, huggable bunch of kids! I loved every second of it. Hurray, Dragons you killed it !
Agree completely, well said!
Exaaact !
This is AMAZING! Vocals, guitar, groove, this is the real deal! Well done guys!!!!!!
The kool thing with kids is they get better as their bodies grow. A hard reach now will be eazy pezy in a few years. Excellent guitar work.
Great song to highlight all that talent.
Math teachers always turn out to play bass ... what's up with that?!
You kids rock. Impressive.
Listen, this is one of the only songs I like to check other peoples covers on. Definitely one of the top five! Great job, guys. Keep it up. Good things are coming your way.
WOW! Great Job everyone. So cool! Moms and Dads…..👏👏👏 Well done! Nothing like instilling great taste in music to set a generation up for success.
These are great kids and their parents are backing them up ,so nostalgic little garage band ,keep it up kids you are doing great ,I love it
Restoring my faith in the next Generations of players and that AI will not doom music. Great cover young-ins
Magnifique! nous avons des jeunes qui connaissent ces chansons emblématiques et qui savent les interpréter. Le bassiste caché est leur mentor.
Bravo!
Brings back School of Rock. 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
I loved this performance
Thank you for staying true to the original sound of these tunes.
it's a miracle that
any kids
nowadays can
amuse themselves
like this
without having
either a mobile
phone or a
computer screen/
video game to
watch...
it's the curse of
their generation...
critical musical
areas of
a decent lead
guitarist and a
listenable vocalist
are well covered
here and they
all keep the rhythm
going along
nicely...
as kid bands go
this is
definitely one
of the better ones
to watch...
so well done
parents and
rock on generation
alpha!! 🤘😊🔊🎸
They probably learn with video games like Rocksmith.
Reminds me of School Of Rock
WONDERFUL BEATIFUL AMAZING GOD BLESS THESE. KIDS ....JUST APROVE RIGHT NOW 10 !!!!
boomers be booming
Lol rocksmith was so lame. It was so dissapointing. @salort2934
Great job with a great song! So happy to see your generation enjoying classic rock!!
Hey, you young cats are SOOOOOO GOOOOOOD !!! You may be going BIG places if you stay with the music. Very proud of ALL of you !!
You young adults are truly impressive! You are mature way beyond your dreams. You know what you want and it’s obvious you’re working hard towards that goal. Rock on!
Nice job. I particularly like the lead guitar parts and the keyboard work.
57 year old 1980's party chick here
& that was effing awesome!!!
🤟😁 ❤
Simply brilliant to see kids with so much talent at this age,keep at it and it enjoy it,well done to the parents for clearly guiding them in the right direction 👍👍👏👏
Even MK didn't start playing til he was 15. He'll love this. Go guys,
Os garotos são maravilhosos, adorei a performance, parabéns vcs irão longe
Smashing Dragons bringing back real music… Love it 🙌!! and your guitarist is super talented 🎸
I loved this song when I was a kid. My dad always played it in the car for road trips.
Looks like Dad plugged in his BASS… EXCELLENT! 🤘🏼
Born with talent folks!!! 😉
It makes me think of my brothers garage band in the 60' , early 70's.
Practiced all the time and played every Teen Post in the San Gabriel Valley 🤗.
Any measure of talent and competence is how much like the original recording and artist can they get it to sound like? BRAVO! These kids did a great job!!!
To play like Mark Knopffler and THIS song particularly with its fantastical guitar solos. And this virtuoso has mastered that Knopffler style of guitar picking. The singer was so good too. Great front man.
Great! Simply great! Reminds me of my group the Mystics in 65-66 when we did all the Stones, Chuck Berry, Eric Burdon and the Animals, and topped it off with G L O R I A......I love to see these youngsters play and sing standard rock and roll instead of junk.
Holy crap!!! Give these kids a record deal fast!!!!
Que lindoooss!! Felicitaciones! Y cuiden a estos chicos!! Gracias! Desde Argentina!
Virtuoso niño de la guitarra👏👏👏
Excelente grupo🙏🙏🙏
It's amazingly awesome that young kids have a chance to experience real music. Thumbs up all the way!
I enjoyed that. six minutes of my life not wasted at all.
So glad to see that such young people are interested with good music (the music of my youth 😅) ! Congratulations from Paris, France to you all, I love it ❤❤❤
These kids have soul and talent, they are a good band, in a short time we could well hear from them a lot more.
You, dear Smashing Dragons, will be the Rolling Stones of the 22nd century.
Thank you for allowing us to believe that the Rock and Roll battle is not lost.
Made my day! This is great, I’m sure Mark would approve!
Well done kids! Bravo!
Gifted kids - tremendous performance.
My nephew who is now grown grew up listening to the 60's and 70's music because of my brother.
