  • This is studio footage from 2005 while Depeche Mode were recording Playing The Angel. It was mostly filmed and narrated by Fletch (FletchCam). These clips originally appeared on the Depeche Mode website but are not available anymore.
    I got my hands on a few videos that (I think) haven't made it onto UA-cam yet. Aside from editing clips together and removing as much of the transitions as possible, this is unedited footage. The quality is obviously not the best but I can't do anything about that.
    As always, you can also find me on Instagram @martinscountrysticker .

    Ha. Fletch exudes such dad-energy. Lovely to see this whole 'family dynamic', with all of its genuine banter, in the natural habitat; thank you for sharing :)

    Martin - you and Fletch singing Crazy together is the most wonderful tribute to his memory. Brings me to tears - beautiful. Fletch cam is the kind of footage we love - a chance to be present and just enjoy experiencing your world and remember your friendship. Memento Mori 💀

    Them having a whole conversation about bananas and potassium is kinda surreal 😂

    Oh! Fletch and Martin singing Patsy Cline made my heart break. Sounds like Martin did use that country sticker. I'm trying to figure out if Martin was actually sleep. His eye looked open and then closed. Thank you soooo much for posting.

      He was struggling hard with his alcohol addiction at this point of time, mourning the loss of his first marriage. IIRC Dave and Fletch were really worried about him during the making of PTA.

    This is fabulous! I love seeing them in the studio. UA-cam is really the best thing we have on the internet because we would never be able to see this amazing footage of Dave, Martin & Fletch! DM ❤️

    Thank you. When Fletch passed i was on rehab unfortunately. Or fortunately ( stil clean , well except for weed but that doesn't count, see, not "Everything Counts"😂_) . Kidding.
    But thank you sincerely.
    Depeche Mode saved my life so many times.
    Love, peace and respect.

      I wish someone had properly recorded Martin singing and playing his heart out on "Crazy" - he was really living the emotion of that song since his wife was divorcing him at this time. Gotta love Fletch, but he ruined the moment with his "singing".

    how come the videos in the 60`s and 70`s are more clear and sharp than this?

    • @mysilentface

      I'm by no means an expert on the topic but Fletch probably filmed this on an early 2000s camcorder, that's why the clips are 4:3 and 480p. Compression has probably also done something to the quality because the file sizes had to be as small as possible. These clips were made to be available on the DM website at the time and you had to download them with early 2000s download speeds.

    Muchos criticaron a Fletch de no aportar nada, Alan fue el primero en decirlo. Sin embargo el tenía el trabajo mas importante y principal, mantenerlos unidos. Alan se salio de la banda y no pasó nada, pero murio Andy y Depeche Mode se acabó, simplemente ya no pudieron sostenerlo Dave y Martín solos.😢
