Teenage Cancer Trust /Buddy Holly Fundation charity project

[hunter v2.0]

There are two things that bug me a little: The fact that it's called Mark Knopfler's Guitar Heroes and that it is his song they are playing. As long as the project earns money for the charities, who cares, but it's a bit much "Mark Knopfler". It can not be a coincidence that his new album is being released shortly after. If anything, his album should have been released before the GH single. And when they say the proceeds go to the charities, do the proceeds include royalties Mark earns from Going Home?

Got a better idea for the name?

Guitar Heroes United
TCT All-Stars Band
Cancerbusters (not really ...)
Six-String Superstars

Sorry, I think you misunderstood my question, I was asking if you had a better name, but all the examples you have provided are clearly worse

In all seriousness, when you are doing something like this press coverage and publicity is king. So it makes sense to make someone the focal point who will agree to go out and do press and media interviews as MK has done. And as for the new album, and the auction, well if MK is more visible for any reason then it's good publicity for the single. I seriously doubt anyone will buy MK's new album who hasn't already bought the charity single.

Ha-ha! Those were just off the top of my head. No, but I mean it; the name should reflect it's a collaborative effort, not MK plus ... Anyway. Something good is being done for people in need, so I'll shut up

Has anyone worked out what part is edited for the vinyl version?

I only know its about 8.12 and the full version is 9.50. You have the vinyl version right?

[Love Expresso]

I have the vinyl too but can't bring up the enthusiasm to listen to both tracks several times to find out...

[Dutchessy]

I'll bet you will love it after that

Yes.

I just listened on Spotify and I don't remember hearing the Sonny Landreth stuff the first time round but maybe I justr wasn't paying attention.

In that Podcast, Guy said that the vinyl definitely was the main format from this release. It's strange that they obviously cut something from this. It has not technical (length) reasons so I wonder why they did it really.

The finished video doesn't contain video of the players (so you can be disapointed again), Guy said that already. It's only a guide for who plays where.. Today is the release

do we know at what time it will be published ?

They're probably struggling, converting Windows movie maker files to MP4

seriously, I am very much looking forward to this video, because we will finnally know WHO plays WHAT 

its' a big obssession for me, on every record I listen to.

It would be the graal for me to have this kind of video for all great records I like...

books like "La totale" series give a lot of deep information though...

But imagine a track-video for each song in rock history... oh my god !

[Dutchessy]

I'm also waiting impatiently since this morning... Hopefully they will cover all the parts, even the small

[Dutchessy]

Curious about the 8.30 part, and also want to know where is Bruuuuuuceeeee

On the official TCT announcement there are two lists of players. One for the (shorter) vinyl edition and one for the digital version. I checked them but can't remember exactly, but 12 players are 'missing' on the vinyl version. Among them is Steve Lukather. I reckon those names recorded very late in the proces.

Anyway, looking forward to the video.

I also tought that Shery Crow only played bass on the full version. But we all heard that already for sure
