Knopfler was born in Glasgow and moved to close to Newcastle when he was 7 years old. His brother was born in Glasgow and was 4 when the family moved to Newcastle. Pick Withers and John Ilsley are from Leicestershire and the band were formed in Deptford in south east London.
I have been listening to this song for 30 years. This is the best cover I have heard. Well done. And can we just give a round of applause for the drummer please.
Okay, seriously, are they conjuring the original artists' souls on every cover?? How can they sound like Dire Straits, The Beatles, Bee Gees, America, etc? I found these guys by accident, and I am so happy I did. You all are just phenomenal!
Great job boys! In 1977 I was driving taxi late at night leaving the airport in Winnipeg, Manitoba when this song came on the radio. I was so blown away I actually pulled over to the side of the road halfway through the song - I had never heard anything like it - and as we know now - neither had the rest of the world.
Nel 1977 avevo appena dieci anni e mi ricordo di essere rimasto letteralmente stregato dalla chitarra di Mark e dal sound originale e irripetibile dei Dire Straits...negli anni successivi il mondo avrebbe ammirato una musica meravigliosa che ancora oggi risuona dappertutto
A good cover shouldn't sound like the original. It should be an artists interpretation of the original. Think All Along the Watchtower. Now THAT is a cover.
@@9988ScooterGirl there are two kinds of covers - one that sounds exactly like the original usually done by non-recording artists and the other one is the interpretation of the original usually done by recording artists.
This was my Dad's favourite song, he was multi-talented and can play all the instruments. He used to play this song Everytime. Sadly, he's no more. Now it's my favourite song and when I listen to this song, I always remember my Old Man❤️ Great work guys👍
X My name is Anderson Eduardo, I'm Brazilian and a big fan of Dire Straits, and now a big fan of you, I'm so impressed, BRAVO, BRAVÍSSIMO, you did one of the best covers in the world, congratulations
What makes RJ so talented? Imagine knowing how to play flawless rhythm and lead on over a hundred songs, playing keyboards while switching to guitar on his lap and singing. Plus he manages to duplicate guitar passages on one Gibson SG. Incredible!
@@kippsguitar6539 I saw your NUX mighty lite review. You played like a noob. More like your arthritis is kicking in and you can't even move your fingers. My piece of unsolicited advice: practice your damn scaling, man!
@@ngc-fo5te Popular music guitar player? 😂😂 Where is the cave you live in pal? Knopfler has always been mentioned among the rock great guitar players for 40 years.
I am impressed with the vocalist in how he seems to match Mark’s energy with the smooth almost bluesy delivery without sounding forced or overly dramatic. I have tried to listen to many covers of this song and rarely made it past the 15 second mark. I loved the vocals and band was spot on. I enjoyed listening to the entire song, very refreshing.
@@kippsguitar6539 i know ur just trolling around. U dont have too... These young lads already have good reviews from expert guitarists themselves and not only here from youtube.
Is anyone else getting choked up listening to this? This performance almost brings tears to my eyes. The artistry and mastery on that lead guitar makes me feel like a kid again.
Even his finger picking is precise & he just does it...like it all comes natural... Its uncanny I tell you.. I'm a 77 yr old American singer & conga drummer.....it gives my heart Joy to see these young Pinoys master western music, as they do so profoundly.. May God's Grace surround them always
You guys continue to blow this old rocker away. Can’t believe how well you nailed this song. You are going to be the saviors of classic rock. Thank you 🙏 sirs ✌️
Hahaha dude that's their version. They can never match how good the original was but they do have their own flavor. Just be supportive as a co-musician.
The lead guitarist is brilliant. That solo guitar was almost perfect. 99%. You are all talented young guys, I just love listening and watching you guys. Regards, Gary from Australia.
Absolutely fantastic lads! .... I used to play this number in my last band ..and I happen to know the drummer from Dire Straits!... he lives not far from me ... his name is Terry Williams and I'm going to send him this! ... once again you have made me so proud ... you nailed it boys! ... and well done RJ .. Mark Knopfler isn't easy to do and you got it sussed no problem.
I lovedwatching Terry play during the Sydney final concert from BiA. His passion and skill was clear to see. Shame I never saw him play live as he wasn't there for the OES tour. Hope he appreciates the skill of these guys.
more than 40 years, and this rock anthem continues to be loved, played and sung by the new generations, and it will continue until the end of time. Happy those who were there when this masterpiece was released. Cheers to all.
For any lead guitarist, to be able to play the Sultans of Swing is a bit of a right of passage, and dare I say, even a kind of personal Hall of Fame moment, and boy, YOU JUST NAILED IT!

reincarnation of the multiple greatest music artist from 60's to 80's by one and only Pilipino band REO BROTHERs from Tacloban Philippines... and am so be proud guys....
nice .. knopfler style picking and voice .. win win . i love it .. complete with a Beatles bass guitar :) .. very nice cover guys . i didnt want it to end
I know this song by heart since I'm a Dire Straits huge fan , I can say these guys got it right in every way even the singer voice is very similar to Mark in tone and performance,...... awesome job guys
@@kippsguitar6539 what errors are you talking about? You’re nothing but a jealous guy because you couldn’t do it let alone sing like the voice of Mark Knopler. 🤪🤪🤪
With one video you guys just put all the Dire Straits tribute bands to shame. Yes, I am a huge DS fan, I know their music backwards. Absolutely brilliant, well done.
The REO Brothers from the Philippine rocks! I once saw a Filipino cover band on a Caribbean cruise and was blown away by their musical talent. All the songs they covered sounded like the original.
I've seen several covers of Sultans of Swing on TH-cam, but the lead is usually picked. This guy played it fingerstyle, like Mark Knopfler, and it made all the difference. Great cover.
You guys are smooth I’ve been a drummer for 30 years but yours knows what he’s doing all of you don’t let anyone tell you guys different keep up the good work you guys do a damn fine job be safe and take care
Perhaps it's an indictment to the state of mankind when 4 young men put their heart and soul to cover a well-loved song and yet 395 souls chose to click that "dislike" button. Why can't we just not watch it when it's not our cup of tea? Well, more than 39,000 folks liked it. There is hope for humanity after all.
Or they just aren't into it It came up in their recommendations But they aren't a fan of Dire Straits, so they hit dislike so content like this wouldn't show up again Chill, not everything is a slight
The real question is why does YT had to have that 'Like' and 'Dislike' button in the first place. It's pretty clear who like and disliked the vid on the comments section. It does absolutely nothing for the uploader.
I listen to this song every day many times. I know it by heart. I know every intonation and note. you guys are great!!!!! thank you. sing, play, don't miss notes!!! you bring joy to my heart.
Very seldom I get great things for free, not to feel any guilt I contributed to their Patreon account for the great listening experience. Awesome boys!
Boy, I am stunned. How comes god putting all kind of talents and musical skills together in just one family? 😮 You are amazing, I absolutey love it. 👍👍👍
If Mark Knopfler hasn't already seen this, somebody needs to send him a link - I'm certain he'd be very impressed. Great job guys - especially the lead guitarist!
Iam Stunning, blowned away, litter SUPER impressed. As ive grewn up with this music, Mark - and had issues playing it myself on drums & yet these guys simply execute it perfectly & the voice is just spot on, well the "goofy" mark voice anyhow, the solo. the Bassist.. Guys, holy shit - This deserves more likes for sure. Like & share for the fellahs! Cheers From Denmark!
This is the nearest cover i ever watched and listened to..The singer sounded like Mark Knopfler..He also played the guitar like him..What a talent there..Obviously the bass and the drums successfully played like the original tune..Kudos and cheers..
I think of all the clicks I've wasted on unworthy cover attempts, but every now and then you stumble on somebody who rocks it down to the very core and it instantly makes you forget all the wasted time. You guys are amazing! Thank you for this video.
Not to mention the vocals....I could have listened to the audio of this vid ONLY and I would honestly believe that it was the original recording of the song as performed by the Dire Straits themselves. He was able to emulate Mark's voice so well!!! O.O
Vocalist, lead guitarist at the same time , that’s hard to do. He’s a very talented guy. Keep it up, you’re very inspiring. Self taught musicians from Tacloban, Philippines.
Just come across your you tube video today 2nd April 2022. I am 70 years old and have always loved the Beatles even from the early days when I used to save up my pocket money to buy the new releases in the 60's. You certainly do the tracks justice. Also the track which is in my top 3 records of all time and your version of Sultans of Swing is absolutely amazing. !!! Best wishes for the future. Message sent as as follower from the UK.
RJ played this a few days ago on his 7 hour debut on KUMU. I was hoping you would do a studio version of Sultans of Swing. You did not disappoint! Well done REO BROTHERS!

I come from the hometown of Dire Straits guys. They would be proud.
Which town ? I know it's north east
@@stevo62ful i think Belfast ...

It's a Filipino thing... it's how Journey's Arnel Pineda got discovered. 😊😂
I was thinking the same thing.
These talented boys obviously have a unique gift. Absolute pleasure to listen.
We have a pilipino band here and they sing in so many languages, that they dont understand a word of.

The REO Brothers from the Philippine rocks! I once saw a Filipino cover band on a Caribbean cruise and was blown away by their musical talent. All the songs they covered sounded like the original.
The latest REO Brothers cover to hit 1M views - and it took a little less than 7 weeks!
Congratulations!
Great for mental and emotional health in these uncertain times.
a band that can play anybody's tunes and do them justice. it must be the reo brothers! TONS OF TALENT!!!!
Their repertoire of the classic music is lit my bruh🔥🔥, im in awe while watching this..
I loved it too Nathan ❤ I was so delighted that I also made an acoustic version of this song on my channel. tell me what you think please🙏
Yes! YES!
Sounding like Mark Knofler seems much easier than sounding like Marks guitar riffs and licks.
So proud to be Filipino!
REO Bros the Greatest!
I've heard dozens of versions of this song, but nothing compared to this one by REO, very good guys, greetings from Brazil.
here's fom LEO too th-cam.com/video/x0RV0kgdqJU/w-d-xo.html
Best of all cover off the dire straits
I loved it too Paulo ❤ I was so delighted that I also made an acoustic version of this song on my channel. tell me what you think please🙏
فعلا صونه رائع وهناك كذالك فرقة Real straits قمة الروعة
I've seen several covers of Sultans of Swing on TH-cam, but the lead is usually picked. This guy played it fingerstyle, like Mark Knopfler, and it made all the difference. Great cover.
Totally agree
Definitely, they knocked every single note out of the park!
Maybe because they're filipino, music is life in the Philippines, just a saying!😉
I loved it too Joel ❤ I was so delighted that I also made an acoustic version of this song on my channel. tell me what you think please🙏
Greetings From USA. Good job boys. I was a teenager in the 60 and great to hear you keeping this good music alive! Thanks FF
I never get tired listening to this song and this guys are fantastic..they doing Mark proud..from South Africa
You guys are smooth I’ve been a drummer for 30 years but yours knows what he’s doing all of you don’t let anyone tell you guys different keep up the good work you guys do a damn fine job be safe and take care
This is going to be the most viewed of all Reo Bros cover. Do you agree?
👍👍👍😍😍
Not if they will follow this up with Money for Nothing Chicks for Free😁🙏🙏🙏
No I do not agree. Trying to ride the coattails of other achievements is fake.
Yes
@@circusdog your full of it.
Do they even realize just how really, really good they are?
Nice tribute to mark on the occasion of his birthday 2024, thank you guys good job 👍Reo Brothers .
Mark knopfler is legendary guitarist.
These dudes can play anything and everything, and sound good every time. Great taste in music too.
WOW! Not easy dude. Mark Knopler is a premier guitarist, and so are you!
Perhaps it's an indictment to the state of mankind when 4 young men put their heart and soul to cover a well-loved song and yet 395 souls chose to click that "dislike" button. Why can't we just not watch it when it's not our cup of tea? Well, more than 39,000 folks liked it. There is hope for humanity after all.
395 lost souls 😂 just plain jealousy maybe 🤔
Or they just aren't into it
It came up in their recommendations
But they aren't a fan of Dire Straits, so they hit dislike so content like this wouldn't show up again
Chill, not everything is a slight
The real question is why does YT had to have that 'Like' and 'Dislike' button in the first place. It's pretty clear who like and disliked the vid on the comments section. It does absolutely nothing for the uploader.
A lot of mistakes but still good
I listen to this song every day many times. I know it by heart. I know every intonation and note. you guys are great!!!!! thank you. sing, play, don't miss notes!!! you bring joy to my heart.
Watched every second with a huge grin on my face. SO GOOD!!!
Very seldom I get great things for free, not to feel any guilt I contributed to their Patreon account for the great listening experience. Awesome boys!
Boy, I am stunned. How comes god putting all kind of talents and musical skills together in just one family? 😮 You are amazing, I absolutey love it. 👍👍👍
God given talent..👍👍
I ask the same thing every night of watching their videos.
If Mark Knopfler hasn't already seen this, somebody needs to send him a link - I'm certain he'd be very impressed. Great job guys - especially the lead guitarist!
Best cover of Sultans Of Swing that I've ever heard...GREAT JOB guys !!!
Absolutely
Keep listening, plenty of errors here
I’m obsessed with this band!
Same here
From a year ago!.
Always good to see young people play the songs of our time.
Filipinos just rock. They are so awesome.
At last, bravo! He has found his natural timbre and register. Clear as day.
What an epic version, faultless, perfect in every way. finger picking as well
Iam Stunning, blowned away, litter SUPER impressed.
As ive grewn up with this music, Mark - and had issues playing it myself on drums & yet these guys simply execute it perfectly & the voice is just spot on, well the "goofy" mark voice anyhow, the solo. the Bassist.. Guys, holy shit - This deserves more likes for sure. Like & share for the fellahs!
Cheers From Denmark!
There are two kinds of people in this earth; those who plays awesome music and those who listen......
well, we just listen....:)
Maybe dislikes from pro.musicins due to the errors
It's a very simple for a pro musician, Andalusian cadence, nobody can do it like knopfler the genius
The end solo gives me CHILLS!! sounds right on TRACK!!
This is the nearest cover i ever watched and listened to..The singer sounded like Mark Knopfler..He also played the guitar like him..What a talent there..Obviously the bass and the drums successfully played like the original tune..Kudos and cheers..
check out their other 250 videos on their channel on here you will be gobsmacked!
I thought covering sultans of swing and making it close-impressive was impossible but this cover changed my thought. Really appreciated.
That is true , how pinoys talent just simply amazing, they preserve old music icon from 60s 70s en 80s .
A very talented bunch of guys, just being listening to their 'Beatles" tribute. I'll be promoting these guys for sure!
Wow
Thanks Mr Eastwood. You made my day 😄👍
I have being your fan since I was 8 years old and now I'm 65

Holy smoke! My wife is from the Philippines and I just now heard this incredible band for the first time?! I’m ashamed of myself.
I knew this would be a perfect cover as soon as I saw the video on my subs..REO Brothers are so talented. Eye in the Sky is still my favorite by them
Wow thats beautyful music i like sultan of swings..
Are you freaking kidding me? Wow. I’m smiling so huge listening to this. Just wow.
I think of all the clicks I've wasted on unworthy cover attempts, but every now and then you stumble on somebody who rocks it down to the very core and it instantly makes you forget all the wasted time. You guys are amazing! Thank you for this video.
i concur, beautifully put
Here you have one of the world's finest songs, through all time back and forth in the eternity of time. Just as Good as the Original. Thanks!
RJ is a guitar genius , keep playing guys!!
I watched this guitar work in disbelief I don't believe anybody could play this like Mark Knopfler but this guy just did incredible challenge / talent
Not to mention the vocals....I could have listened to the audio of this vid ONLY and I would honestly believe that it was the original recording of the song as performed by the Dire Straits themselves. He was able to emulate Mark's voice so well!!! O.O
@@dlc_2678 pilipino is so talented 😍
No he didn’t, not even close and the vocals sucked
@@barefootroofer LOL yeah ok then...post a video of yourself doing it better, or your opinion means nothing...hater 🙄
@@barefootroofer haters gonna hate huh.
OMG its so tight... 100% perfect from bass guitar, drums, rhythm guiatar, lead guitar and vocals.... so proud
Vocalist, lead guitarist at the same time , that’s hard to do. He’s a very talented guy. Keep it up, you’re very inspiring. Self taught musicians from Tacloban, Philippines.
Agree!
Agree!👍🏼

Just come across your you tube video today 2nd April 2022. I am 70 years old and have always loved the Beatles even from the early days when I used to save up my pocket money to buy the new releases in the 60's. You certainly do the tracks justice. Also the track which is in my top 3 records of all time and your version of Sultans of Swing is absolutely amazing. !!! Best wishes for the future. Message sent as as follower from the UK.
I loved it too Barry ❤ I was so delighted that I also made an acoustic version of this song on my channel. tell me what you think please🙏
PERFECT COVER MY FRIENDS CONGRATULATIONS, I AM FROM CARIACICA ESPIRITO SANTO BRAZIL
Valeu mano!!!
Hola BRAZIL from Philippines!!!!
@@mimicmic.5268 I also play guitar 🎸.
RJ played this a few days ago on his 7 hour debut on KUMU. I was hoping you would do a studio version of Sultans of Swing. You did not disappoint! Well done REO BROTHERS!
