Legendary ’80s Band Reveals Revolutionary Guitar Riff Was 'An Accident' ...Saudi Arabia

What do you get when you combine incredibly unique guitar work, biting songwriting, and groundbreaking production? You get Dire Straits.

The British rock band, formed in 1977, has been breaking boundaries and making hits for their whole career. The self-titled debut album produced their incredibly successful song "Sultans of Swing," which reached the top ten in both the U.S. and U.K. The band became stars from that point on, and continued refining their sound.

This all led to "Brothers in Arms," their mega hit bestselling album, which recently turned 40. The album became an icon of '80s rock, and featured one smash hit, the song "Money For Nothing."

The song charted number one on the Billboard Hot 100 and became the first song ever shown on U.K. MTV. It was a pretty big success. One of the most recognizable parts of the song is the instantly iconic intro, the guitar part that made Dire Straits legends.

And as it turns out, it was apparently done by accident, which is explained in the caption on this video they shared on TikTok.

The intro guitar sound on 'Money For Nothing' was somewhat of an accident, producer Neil Dorfsman reflects: 'One mic was pointing down at the floor, another was not quite on the speaker, another was somewhere else, and it wasn't how I would want to set things up...- probably left from the night before when I'd prepped things for the next day and hadn't finished...whether it was the phase of mics or the out-of-phaseness, what we heard was exactly what ended up on the record. There was no additional processing on that tune during the mix.' Get your copy of the Brothers In Arms 40th anniversary Deluxe Edition now. Link in bio. direstraits brothersinarms moneyfornothing

This is shocking considering how important this guitar part turned out to be. Fans left their stunned reactions in the comments.

"Best song of all time."

"Best intro of all time."

"Absolute masterpiece."

Despite the accidental nature of the guitar's tone, the song will continue to be iconic, even for another 40 years to come.
