Funny that MK is suing Danny one day then hiring him the next...

What Dire Straits LTD. asked to their lawyers is to assure the brand Dire Straits is correctly used, asking tribute bands to use that way by changing advertisements, posters... Sometimes exceeding their faculties (asking to not use not copyrighted font letters). But they have the money, nor the tribute bands.

Always better a treat than a trial.

And Danny agrees It's all strange.

And suddenly Phil plays with John Illsley and so on. Weird.

[Knopflerfan]

It's all mighty strange especially with Danny, sued one minute, in a band with MK next!!

Onviously they've sorted any differences there may have been?

Mark always distinguishes music from the music business. He sues "the businessmen" and plays with the musicians.

Might well explain why Danny was 'dropped' as drummer?!

I think that was just classic "looking forward only" and hiring the more experienced and well-known and versatile drummer for whatever MK wanted to achieve. And in that regard he indeed succeeded!

Actually Ianto was introduced to MK by Danny, and Ianto introduced MK to Nigel. And Nigel introduced MK to Tom Walsh and Graeme Blevins

[Knopflerfan]

Oh yes, blimey you're right! I got muddled!!

[dustyvalentino]

It's not really suss with Danny. Ianto is established as one of the top session drummers in the world.

Danny is one of the top percussionists in the world who did a good job as a stand in drummer.

Plus, Danny got the elbow long before the tribute nonsense started (I think).

It was just Suss how he 'disappeared' from being MKs drummer for a while, Ianto appeared and then next thing Danny's back. I did wonder then had he upset MK with the tribute lark...

I don't think it's correlated. Danny is well-beloved amongst fans, and he is the absolute king of SAN, but just listen to the difference between Chad and Danny in 2005 and WII/Sultans, for example, in 2010 and 2013. Danny is very elegant, but I personally prefer the liveliness of Chad and Ianto. I always felt like Mark was bored with Danny's limited drumming technique.
