Tenstrum Posted July 24, 2012 Share Posted July 24, 2012 Several weeks ago, I purchased a brand spanking new Acura TL. Much to my surprise, my car has a DVD Audio player in it. A 5.1 DVD Audio sampler came with it. One of those tracks is the 25th Anniversary remix of Money For Nothing. Got to tell you that driving down the road with that song cranked up in surround sound is just truly awesome! They did an extremely good job with it. The intro especially. The drums are thunderous and feel like I'm surrounded by concussion grenades. Everything is very clear and crisp. Overall, I am thoroughly enjoying the sampler. So much so that I've been looking to buy the actual Brothers In Arms 25th Anniversary DVD-A. The only problem is that it is out of print and the cheapest I've found it used was around $150!! There is also a really good mix of Steve Miller's "Fly Like An Eagle" on the sampler as well. Kind of a shame the format never really caught on.... As a side note, Brothers In Arms has a special place in my heart as it was the first album that I bought as a kid with my own money. Love that album. Tenstrum "Paranoid? Probably.

EddiePlaysBass Posted July 24, 2012 Share Posted July 24, 2012 Darn, I looked in all the "special" places where I know there's hard-to-find stuff to be found and still I got nothing ... Some SACD's but no DVD-A. "I'm a work in progress." Micky Barnes The Ross Brown Shirt World Tour Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Richard W Posted October 15, 2012 Share Posted October 15, 2012 Speaking of Brothers in Arms, my band is working up "Walk of Life" and it will be the first song on which I'll be singing the lead vocal.

5 string Mike Posted October 18, 2012 Share Posted October 18, 2012 I'm 35 now- thinking about my kids- oldest just turned 14. - My kids have had actual cartoon channels- on cable/satellite. - He asked me how a tape player works- couldn't figure it out - He was talking about some movie- can't remember which one- he said "it's REALLY old- like made in 19 90 something" - A friend's 15 year old daughter was floored that my DVD player was older than she is AND it still worked. More on point, Brothers in Arms was awesome. I listened to it a lot growing up. The Weird Al parody was one of the first songs that got me tuned in to him.

jcadmus Posted October 18, 2012 Share Posted October 18, 2012 My soon-to-be 13-year-old has never used a phone with a cord on it. And Brothers In Arms -- HUGE. Among the best music to come out of the 80s. Still stands up. "Tours widely in the southwestern tip of Kentucky" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tenstrum Posted October 19, 2012 Author Share Posted October 19, 2012 I let my 19 year old brother in law hear Money For Nothing the other day. He had never heard it.... /face palm He did state that it was an awesome song. So at least he recognizes good music. Tenstrum "Paranoid? Probably.

kenfxj Posted October 25, 2012 Share Posted October 25, 2012 Money For Nothing... It's funny how some songs take you to a specific time and place... Summer of 1985. Me and Eileen got married in early September. Whenever I hear Money For Nothing it takes me right back to walking down Kalakaua Avenue in Waikiki hand in hand and that is not a bad memory at all. I was 24 at the time. You do the math. Push the button Frank. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
