There is no funnier interview than this out there 🤣 frantic all over the place hand flailing overdramatic interviewer vs cool calm collected composed and eloquent elegant intelligent interviewee 😎 AW’s reaction to the random teddy bear gift, priceless
I love his voice, his smile and the way he raises his left eyebrow :D Seriously, why isn't there anyone like him nowadays, we've got only shitty music and stupid celebraties v.v
I wish I grew up at the same time as him. He would've made a great boyfriend or husband. Soft voice, good sense of humor, smart guy, really talented, and loves cats. He's too old for me though. I mean, he's 60 an I'm 14.
Dear gawd, this interviewer is horrible. Alan is such a nice guy that he's able to keep his cool with this guy's stupid questions while interjecting a little sarcasm and wit along the way keeping his adorable smile in check. He's such a consummate professional and so incredibly talented. DM was never the same without him sadly.
Alan has a natural immense class and he is so nicely blasé that is a rare quality....he is so clever and talented and so fun because has a great sense of humor...he is such an adorable man ...obv he doesnt stand idiots who ask stupid questions
What a douce way to start an interview: You’re not popular You play more than keyboards? Compares you to Georgia Satellites Your synthpop genre is dying And the whole time people are screaming for Alan
That little smirk Alan gets as soon as bozo says “you guys are immensely popular in Britain”. You can see Alan probably just think to himself “alright well this one’s gonna suck”
One thing i like about Alan, he's very eloquent of answering all the question.. some how he managed to keep it calm and cool in the interview.. That my awesome Alan. 😊❤❤
Alan is a very clever Man and he amazes me the way he plays the keyboard so fast and I love his backing voice and Alan will always be my favourite member of Depeche Mode and he songs main voice on get the balance right. Alan is also great to
Actually what gives that impression is that the Director of the music video of Get The Balance Right who didn't knew Depeche Mode very well thought Alan was the singer so he filmed him more than Dave. But C Fonseca is right Dave sings on Get The Balance Right just like he sings in all the other DM songs (where Martin doesn't sing) except maybe in tracks like Behind The Wheel where Martin & Dave sing together.
"It could have been, but it wasn't..." 5:48 ... and rolling his eyes for the 100th time xD. I love Alan! Without him, Depeche Mode are like a "Second hand Depeche Mode" :(
Alan seems so annoyed here lol And apparently in real life he is super nice and humble. I know someone who actually hung out with him and jammed with him, he also said he was super chill and humble.
I met him in and his then-wife Hep early in the morning late winter 2005 on an empty street in Richmond upon Thames by pure luck (I was commuting to work in a pub in Kingston Upon Thames). Super friendly.
@@rikkycraft4045 I saw them from a double decker bus. They were crossing the street. I thought "he looks like Al, but is taller and a bit thicker". I got off on a next stop and ran like hell. There was a music store by chance nearby, so we went inside and he gave me an autograph. Hep was laughing all the time.
@@jeshkam Oh thank you for sharing the details, good sir! This is the very case when it was a sin not to run at least a thousand miles in order to talk with them. They're so sweet.
He is really my idol within DM band... and not only... "Thanks the lord" we`ve had Alan Wilder in Depeche Mode, i will never end thanking him for his great great great contribute to Enjoy the Silence.
The journo starts the int the worst way possible. He obviously didn´t care to do any research. Many musicians would take a piss of him. Alan is a perfect gentleman. I grew up in Prague, behind the iron curtain and even I knew DM weren´t taken seriously in the UK. But they became huge in Germany and Switzerland. Then France, Italy, Austria, Sweden. And they were massive is Czechoslovakia, East Germany, Poland. Then I found out they were huge in Latin America, too. Why? I like New Order. How many times toured New Order Prague? Never! While Depeche Mode have played in Prague about 9 times. There was something mystical about them. The music. The image. They were neither pop, nor alternative. They did things their way and were somehow able to connect with fans all around the world. And they went to play live to countries where other big bands don´t bother to go.
In hindsight, during 1987-1993 they were in their most creative golden period, especially with respect to Alan's production and his innovative soundscapes. So the answer is no, the future of synth was not in danger of becoming obsolete. lol.
Nobody better in the world at putting sounds and melodies together than Depeche Mode. Add in Martin’s lyrics and Dave’s voice and you really do have something very special. I’ve been a fan since 1981 and seen them three times live. I was at the Rose Bowl in 1988.
This interviewer was an idiot. Amazing how Alan handled it. *Ultimate* power play by Alan, when the interviewer was flummoxed by the screaming fans, and Alan said "Well, I'm used to it." Hahahaha. I'm not a DM fan who thinks DM haven't been good since Alan left, I really do like Alan. He's a very good communicator and very calm in the face of stupidity. I can't let the disrespectful fans affect my feeling towards Alan.
Alan wilder is so awesome i love him so much he put up with the TV presenter almost 9 minutes and he was very uncomfortable as he didn't leave or hit him.
What a slightly rude and unprepared interviewer. Of the artists mentioned, Depeche Mode are by far the most progressive. Alan was fantastic in this interview.
I cringed all the way through this interview. Poor Alan, having to field Steve Anthony's asinine questions. I am still a Depeche Mode fan, but I miss Alan deeply.
He doesn't sing lead on "Get The Balance Right." That was an error with the videographer, who assumed that Alan was the lead singer because he was the most confident.
A visionary! And so polite with the interwiever...when you have talent and a vision you have the pull to educate masses and interwievers! Alan depeche mode was so much better with you..i saw depeche in madrid last weekend..they were brilliant but i miss you so much...
Alan had amazing self control, restraining himself from punching this interviewer in the head.
Yeah, but If Looks could kill😅
There is no funnier interview than this out there 🤣 frantic all over the place hand flailing overdramatic interviewer vs cool calm collected composed and eloquent elegant intelligent interviewee 😎 AW’s reaction to the random teddy bear gift, priceless
He's such a PRETTY BOY
The prettiest of them all 💘💥
Not a pretty boy, but a gorgeous boy !!
Not a boy, but a man. A damn handsome one too.
“P. R. E. double T. Y” 😉
those eyes
Someone should so a compilation of Alan rolling his eyes.😂
There is one! And a GIF that someone made. I'll post a link when I find it. :)
@@RobertPlantsPlantations omg yes!!!
@@RobertPlantsPlantations I need it
I love his voice, his smile and the way he raises his left eyebrow :D Seriously, why isn't there anyone like him nowadays, we've got only shitty music and stupid celebraties v.v
There is good music out there, just not mainstream. Other than that, I agree
Me too
@@mezzovii could you share any names of today's music to appreciate?
@@mayyam3989 Jack Stauber
@@mayyam3989 the newer depeche mode albums, muse, mgmt, tame impala, NIN, Coldplay, and much more.
I love the look Alan gave at 7:30. He was looking away to someone and did a "Get me out of here" face. 😆
He was like ffs can you believe this guy
what a beautiful and intelligent man
Who? The interviewer.
@@littlejohnnyturtle8770 Hahaha
Alan....of course !
Alan Wilder has always been an absolute class act in any situations
Alan's faces. They kill me.
He's so precious. I wanna steal him.
Can someone invent a time machine already?
Ghazghkull Thraka. yes please!!!!😂😂
Yes!!!
but he still exists!
Priceless interview! I think my favourite is "It could have been... but it wasn't..."
mine too.😄hilarious. such a class act. ahhh, i love this man so much.💗
"Get down, get down!" Oh, Jesus, poor Alan :D
God, I am SO in love with Alan Wilder.
I wish I grew up at the same time as him. He would've made a great boyfriend or husband. Soft voice, good sense of humor, smart guy, really talented, and loves cats. He's too old for me though. I mean, he's 60 an I'm 14.
Mezzo Viola He can be your dad 😄
@@mezzovii Does he love cats? I never heard
Me too!
He chose cats rather than dogs which were chosen by Dave in the 1984 interview at Good Morning Britain, very cute one))
Dear gawd, this interviewer is horrible. Alan is such a nice guy that he's able to keep his cool with this guy's stupid questions while interjecting a little sarcasm and wit along the way keeping his adorable smile in check.

Man, love alan's hair during this time.
Alan ist great there. He tried to find an answer to every stupid question.
"his name is jack, so it's a boy" look at alan's face LOL!!!
francesca albarello ..My son and I love imitating his "That's Riiighht!!" Hilarious
Hahahaha he is greattttttttttttt! I laught a lot!
He looked at the interviewer like get this s*** out of my face...Lol
What did he say afterwards something about perception?
@Juan Perez you say that, but I don’t think you realise how vastly different things would have been if history worked out that way.
clever, polite and sassy oh i love you alan wilder
Alan has a natural immense class and he is so nicely blasé that is a rare quality....he is so clever and talented and so fun because has a great sense of humor...he is such an adorable man ...obv he doesnt stand idiots who ask stupid questions
rimmel65 absolutely agree with you. Alan is admirable and brilliant.
Alan had very comfortable position on this chair to walk and punch the cringy interviewer.
ThAtS RIGHT hahahahahahaha
What snob and disinformed that interviewer. Dumb interviewer
u r right ! :D
thank you. be healthy. :)
He is so classy to not react to the interviewer's crass, ignorant persona. Not half as charming and funny as he thinks himself. Ugh!
@@jonise2524 he sounds very ignorant
Alan Wilder is hot hot hot!
Beautiful face
My Sweet Alan, beautiful grey eyes
Hahaha he's such a sassy cutie 😂
oh my God all of DM band are so hansome
Iwona S that's so true as f*ck
Omg Alan is so beautiful and incredible for sure.
That eyebrow raise he does makes my knees weak
What a douce way to start an interview:
You’re not popular
You play more than keyboards?
Compares you to Georgia Satellites

And the whole time people are screaming for Alan
7:30 Alan was so done with the interview but too much of a gentleman to walk out. lol
That little smirk Alan gets as soon as bozo says “you guys are immensely popular in Britain”. You can see Alan probably just think to himself “alright well this one’s gonna suck”
I commend Alan for remaining calm and gracious. 30 seconds in and I wanted to slap that host in the face. *deep breath*
One thing i like about Alan, he's very eloquent of answering all the question.. some how he managed to keep it calm and cool in the interview.. That my awesome Alan. 😊❤❤
I love his way of speaking. He is just so sophcated and clever witted witted. Typical Mercurial minded sort.
How could Alan be so patient with this interview! Full self-control
that Canadian is a git. Alan's hot. What a beautiful man.
Hahahaha "It could be, but it wasn't".
Hahahahahahaha I loved that comment
Alan is a very clever Man and he amazes me the way he plays the keyboard so fast and I love his backing voice and Alan will always be my favourite member of Depeche Mode and he songs main voice on get the balance right. Alan is also great to

“Tell us all about your private life”. Did that man even know what PRIVATE means? Oh my god. It wasn’t a question either!
I'm so in love with Alan, I love him in all ways possible
"It could have been, but it wasn't..." 5:48 ... and rolling his eyes for the 100th time xD. I love Alan! Without him, Depeche Mode are like a "Second hand Depeche Mode" :(
my favourite part of this interview. 😅 there are some more though. alan is pure class. i love him.
His smile ... ahhh
Alan is truly a class act!
Thanks Alan
Alan saved DM
I still have this on VHS somewhere. Oh my god, I still love this man.
The interviewer was an idiot. In fact I think he was coked up. Alan certainly had little use for him. I don't blame Alan for having an attitude.
Alan doesn't have an "attitude" - he is annoyed by this moron "interviewing" him. Anybody would be.
Poor Alan that interviewer didn't do his homework. He was a duce bag . But lovely Alan just kept, calm and carried on.
His chick bones were sculpted by the angeles💖
He soooo doesn't want to be there lol
Man this guy with his stupid question. Alan Wilder always being a pro..
4:00 the interviewer saying "Sacrifice" instead of "Sacred" lol 😂😂
gosh, the best interview ever, the permanent "resting b*tch face" and 7:30 - my absolute fav of all time I swear 😂
Alan seems so annoyed here lol And apparently in real life he is super nice and humble. I know someone who actually hung out with him and jammed with him, he also said he was super chill and humble.

How Alan didn’t get up and walk out is beyond me.
He is really my idol within DM band... and not only... "Thanks the lord" we`ve had Alan Wilder in Depeche Mode, i will never end thanking him for his great great great contribute to Enjoy the Silence.
lol interviewer thought "Music for the Masses" meant Music for church mass

jakubpetricek When this guy said they weren't so popular in other places outside UK I was like, what??? They were huge even here in Latin America.
Alan, on behalf of Canada, I'm sorry.
I love Alan's smugness.
The interviewer deserved no less
I Absolutely Adore Alan.
I think Wilder sensed from the very beginning that the interviewer doesn't know much about the band and doesn't care.
"Cinemahhh" love😍😘
In hindsight, during 1987-1993 they were in their most creative golden period, especially with respect to Alan's production and his innovative soundscapes. So the answer is no, the future of synth was not in danger of becoming obsolete. lol.
Best of all the funny faces he makes is at 8:27 when he says "America, so-called land of the free"
He's so hot. I am fully dead.
.... and you're also queer.
I wish I could hug this interviewer because I’ve had awful days at work too
I can watch this a thousand times... Alan is so cool.Love it .Thank you very much!
I just love him so much ♥️
7:26 oh God I love you my little sassy fox!
Mi gran aventura griega I could watch this on loop forever! 😂❤️
Alan favorite of women ... ... And men 😁😁🤗

Wow! For such an unpopular band, they sure have a lot of fans that showed up!
I always cringe at this guy calling Sacred "Sacrifice". It's one of my favorite songs, period.
Same
alan es misterioso pero a la vez encantador sus ojos 😘
his accent!
Alan wilder is so awesome i love him so much he put up with the TV presenter almost 9 minutes and he was very uncomfortable as he didn't leave or hit him.
Cute!!
You can actually hear girls screaming histerically and banging the walls outside the studio at some points haha, I don't blame them though ;)
pure class.
Alan is very modest....he thinks he isn't good enough to compete in classical music? Yeah right, he is, no doubt i would bet.
That interviewer was a complete clown. Alan Wilder was very professional.
Alan Wilder is a class act. Steve Anthony up to this day has not learned anything from this interview. What a dummy!!! Love Depeche Mode
Alan Wilder doesn't suffer fools gladly!! That dwindling population must have been way small at the Rose Bowl in Pasadena.
samsuiza. a great composer and keyboardist. I hope Wilder continues to compose and produce .
You are freaking awesome, Alan. xx You fucking rule.
Este hombre lo tiene todo incluso más me encantas
so smart and polite and well-tempered
lindo alan wilder, excelente musicalmente
What a slightly rude and unprepared interviewer. Of the artists mentioned, Depeche Mode are by far the most progressive. Alan was fantastic in this interview.
Alan shut down the dumb questions from the git go🤣
This interviewer is like "By the way, which one is pink..."
I think , Dave , Martin ,
and Alan ......
.Transpocalypse
I cringed all the way through this interview. Poor Alan, having to field Steve Anthony's asinine questions. I am still a Depeche Mode fan, but I miss Alan deeply.
Alan will always be the soul of Depeche Mode
This is the most awkward thing I've ever seen.
Alan! How you are missing in the current line - up !
Cool and classy against all odds :)
