Failure chose to cover the 1990 hit "Enjoy the Silence", a worldwide smash and Depeche Mode's best-selling and most well-known single. The members of Depeche Mode were reportedly very pleased with the album, and with the Failure track particularly; Andrew Fletcher said that he actually prefers their cover over his band's original version. R.I.P. “Fletch”
Unheralded, but one of the best covers ever. Deserves to be up there with covers like Jimi Hendrix's All Along the Watchtower and Johnny Cash's Hurt. Really needs more recognition.
one man: Kelli motherfuckin' Scott. check out his fills in the failure song "daylight". theres an outro guitar solo and with a mad bass/drum jam and the fills are all similarly amazing
Kellii Scott is one of the best drummers in rock today. In addition to his work with Failure, he was fantastic on Veruca Salt's fourth album, really gave Louise Post the backend punch to make a harder sounding record.
Back when I was a DJ in the 90s I played this a lot! Also r with the Cure and Self covers too. I don’t think I ever played the DM originals ever again! Oh and when I played Slingshot by On for the very first time some guy called in to say he hated the song! Into heavy rotation it went!
Found this around 2001 and loved this cover. I think it's the best cover of Enjoy The Silence. Biggest regret is not looking more into other music they did besides a few songs. They are now my favorite band it took nearly 20 years to really discover them but I am glad I did.
That's how I recognized these guys... I was watching a Rick Beato video regarding stuck on you, but this was the track that I remember them for. Planet is a very emblematic mid 90s album, LOVE the intro and guitar refrain on Stuck on You. Thanks for uploading!
Because each band member is so talented in their own right I think Kelliii Scott is oftentimes over looked. I’d put him up there in the same league as Bonham and Grohl. I love this band. I’m so glad they are back together. It must of been absolutely frustrating knowing that your band was better than 90% of the bands out there but because of shitty music industry politics and business practices you guys got hardly any recognition at all. Better late than never I suppose.
@@whothennow24 He’s not a flashy drummer but I wouldn’t call him basic by any means. He more than serves the songs and the dude’s written some of the most interesting drum parts that I’ve heard.
@@whothennow24look him up playing Distorted Fields. It’s on his personal UA-cam channel. He serves whatever song he’s on perfectly, and that’s what makes a great drummer.
This song opened a whole new world for me back when my 10 year old self listened to it for the first time on the radio. Not only was it an excellent cover of one of the greatest bands to exist, but I then realized how underappreciated Failure were as a whole, immensely enjoying their albums shortly afterward, especially Magnified and Fantastic Planet.
Words like violence Break the silence Come crashing in Into my little world Painful to me Pierce right through me Can't you understand? Oh, my little girl All I ever wanted All I ever needed Is here in my arms Words are very Unnecessary They can only do harm Vows are spoken To be broken Feelings are intense Words are trivial Pleasures remain So does the pain Words are meaningless And forgettable All I ever wanted All I ever needed Is here in my arms Words are very Unnecessary They can only do harm
Can anyone answer this for me- that dirty, grungy, amazing tone that kicks in at 1:05. How?! There's no way that it's just bass? I know Ken/failure are known for their nasty yet beautiful bass tone. But this is over the top. I love it.
I remember when this was released. I bought the album never having heard of Failure before, and man...that drum fill into the big instrumental after the first chorus. Perfect lead-in to what was and still is one of the best full distortion guitar tones in history. I'm not usually one to like covers, but this one is good. That said...I almost wish the rest of the song would have stayed as massive as when it first kicks in, maybe with a down chorus before the outro (played huge again). Great tune as is, regardless.
Whats funny is that I heard this version first, because it came up on Spotify since I like Failure. Save it to a Playlist and didn't listen to it for some time but knowing i have 1 new Failure song.. After some time being at the bar I heard the original for the first time and was like damn I heard this once before better Shazam it. My dumb ass is now like duh its the same damn song!
+Chris Kotra It's not a remix, it's a reinterpretation of the song. There is an album "Various artists for the masses" that contains reinterpretations of Depeche Mode songs from other artists. Great album.
It's from an album of covers by contemporary bands in the late 90s called For the Masses. It's got covers by The Cure, Smashing Pumpkins, Deftones, Dishwalla, GusGus, Failure, Rammstein and many others. Highly recommend it, you can probably pick up a fair priced copy in decent condition on eBay.
two of my fave bands of all time managed to combine to produce this? fuck me & fuck me again. i'm beside myself and anyone who puts depeche mode down as a 'homo' band clearly have no clue. estatic
So Depeche Mode yet so Failure. One of the best covers ever.
That solo at 2:14 is so harmoniously dissonant. It's quite the unexpected olive inside this cocktail of sounds.

What an honor to receive. Similar to Trent Reznor’s opinion of Johnny Cash’s Hurt cover.
Fletcher wasn't a musician
Wow.... you copied the Wikipedia article so well
@@Donkehy-puncharelloThanks!
I believe I copied it better than anyone else here.
@@masonthorpe7327 That is indeed a stellar copy, sir.
Rest in peace Andy Fletcher, you've helped change music.
Who’s Andy Fletcher?
Unheralded, but one of the best covers ever. Deserves to be up there with covers like Jimi Hendrix's All Along the Watchtower and Johnny Cash's Hurt. Really needs more recognition.
Totally agree
yes
Emphatically YES.
Dave Gahan from Depeche Mode has said he thinks it's better than their original version.
100% agree, but you should check out Trevor Something. He does a decent electric/synth cover
This tribute album is amazing...I remember when it came out and I couldn't stop playing it in my truck.
Ich habe mir es nachmittags nach der Schule mit dem Klappfahrrad im Plattenladen gekauft und es über Monate hoch und runter gehört.
Can't believe this song doesn't pop up whenever I ask for an enjoy the silence cover. How is this cover not more popular?
The best cover of this song ever. That was my youth.
Listen Lacuna coil cover. It's a Master piece too
...that drum break!

Sublime syncopating :D

I like how the highlight of this cover isn't the singing, it's the guitar!!! The buildup to the 1:00 mark is awesome.
NOPE. The best Part Starts at 02:51.
I’m astounded by their talent and creativity... FAILURE was so unique in their sound. Even in 2019, no one has ever sounded like them.
Hum.
@@Frogwai Not at all. Hum and Failure sound very much different on it's own
@@eliseypermyakov I agree 💯
Similar in some cases imho - not same though👌
Failure on their most beautiful effort. These DM cover always makes me cry. Pure perfection.

Remember when my sister gave me this CD back when first came out! Felt in love immediately, amazing bands, great covers.
probably the best cover I have ever heard
the best!!
Seether - "Careless Whisper"
Within Temptation - "Summertime Sadness"
Best cover of this track bar none
I agree
totally agree. most covers of this song play it straight, but Failure fucks around with it and turns it into a different kind of awesome.
agree
I agree.
Anberlin would like a word...

Best cover of an already AMAZING song. "Failure" are so AMAZING!
This takes you on more of a journey than the original, and I love the original
This is my most favorite of all the covers of this song
So many people have done a cover and none of them come close to this one.

Agreed. Kellii is a beast & one of the nicest humans I've ever met.
He's a great drummer
I love Failure. But nothing of Kellii’s in Failure’s whole catalog sounds more than basic.

I remember seeing the Gossip trailer and hearing this song and being like hell yeah lol
Hello, I am currently going through all covers and remixes of this song I can find. I like this one very much. Thanks for putting it online!
I love the little sound that starts playing at 2:50

Words like violence
Break the silence
Come crashing in
Into my little world
Painful to me
Pierce right through me
Can't you understand?
Oh, my little girl
All I ever wanted
All I ever needed
Is here in my arms
Words are very
Unnecessary
They can only do harm
Vows are spoken
To be broken
Feelings are intense
Words are trivial
Pleasures remain
So does the pain
Words are meaningless
And forgettable
All I ever wanted
All I ever needed
Is here in my arms
Words are very
Unnecessary
They can only do harm

Tamas Forde
I think it’s distortion
Well yeah, but you can't go grab some random distortion pedal and magically get that sound.
Tamas Forde
True. I’m sure there’s also quite a bit of experience & skill involved.
Distorted bass + distorted guitar. They also played that way live
i have your answer. bass, playing power chord. with minimal dist.
This is the best cover I’ve ever heard
This is the only cover of this song I remember. Why was it so hard to find? Was all over MTV and the radio back in the day.
Still one if not the best cover ive ever heard 🖤
Still incredible 25+ years later..
Some of the Best Earth has to Offer!
God Bless
My ears camed.
One of the best, By heart I respect, this cover is just awesome,
thankyou..
Feeling good on coronavirus quarantine.
One of the best bands ever.
Been looking for this cover forever!
How had I not yet discovered this? It's incredible!
Through Failure you found success.
Failure can do no wrong !!!! Great musician songwriters !!!!
I love this song. Failure is one of my favourite and you did it flawlessly. Tempted to try this one as well. Subscribed :)
fantastic and really unforgetable cover. I think is a good song from an excellent band but took from the best band DM. you don't forget it.
Best cover version of any song ever. Yes i mean it..
I've always loved this cover
Incredible cover!!!!!

Just incredible!!! Pure awesomeness!!!

Why is this not on spotify? Is ita contract issue?
Pure pleasure to listen
amazing cover, wow!! i love it.
Oi eu sou do Brasil,estou procurando esse cover a vários anos, é o melhor cover dessa música, parabéns a banda.😍
Whats funny is that I heard this version first, because it came up on Spotify since I like Failure. Save it to a Playlist and didn't listen to it for some time but knowing i have 1 new Failure song..

Amazing cover!
Guitar sounds incredibly heavy and awesome.
Awesome cover.
wow first time listening to this again since 7th grade back in 2003/2004
This is pure genius!!!!
Favorite cover ever. Really like Far's version of Pony too

WWJD? that's right - he'd figure out how to quit us

Damn, I love this version...
The sound of that Les Paul...
love this
The album is a masterpeice 😘
Amazing version
Beautiful.
"The members of Depeche Mode were reportedly very pleased with the album, and with the Failure track particularly".
Quite a good remix. I love Depeche Mode, and I have to say they did really well to change the sound of the song.

so fucking perfect, such a great song and this cover is amazing, maybe better than the original, I heard one of the guys from DP even like it better
How ironic it is that my enjoyment of listening to this song relates to my own personal failure to enjoy the silence.
gossip soundtrack?
so good
Excelente cover 👏👏👏👏
Martin Gore has made remixes of Failure songs =)
very good cover 👍👍👍👍
What a band
That outron tho damn.......good
Where can i hear the hole compilation?
It's from an album of covers by contemporary bands in the late 90s called For the Masses.
It's got covers by The Cure, Smashing Pumpkins, Deftones, Dishwalla, GusGus, Failure, Rammstein and many others.
Highly recommend it, you can probably pick up a fair priced copy in decent condition on eBay.
ME ENCANTA !! 🤗🖑👏👏
Damn I’m late on this jewel!!!!
Margaret heater does an amazing cover of this as well, b more md boys!
can we get a new wave goes to grunge compilation?
Why is this album so hard to stream in full?
Did they take this off Spotify?
Sketchlehem yeah, they took down the whole album. Happens to every single good fucking sound on that wretched platform
2 words
Very good
Failure is goth pavement
Who's here because they listened to KEXP this morning?
Anyone got any guitar tabs for this?
two of my fave bands of all time managed to combine to produce this? fuck me & fuck me again. i'm beside myself and anyone who puts depeche mode down as a 'homo' band clearly have no clue. estatic
1997 ?
This cover kicks much ass!
💞😚
alfred this needs more double bass
hell no lol
oooh la la

The name of the band that made this is also the word for what the album is, what a coincidence!
