@@DxModel219 I hate when people say such thing like he carried the whole band, DM stood its ground even without Alan. The reason the newer albums "fell" are because they're no longer the mainstream focus as they were back in the 90s. Hell, you still got great albums like Ultra, Playing the Angel, Delta Machine and Memento Mori without Alan.
@@robeez-l3o meh those albums are good to mediocre never great… sorry but their best selling albums and songs are all from Alan Era. In terms of Alan carrying the band… well he did most of the studio work but all 4 i believed were needed. I just hoped Martin didn’t drink so much, Dave didn’t get drugged out of heroin and Fletch wasn’t so depressed all the time after Violator. Did Alan carry the band… well yah during the SOFAD album I believed he did even the rest of the band admitted it during an interview. Post Alan albums never sounded the same
@@DxModel219 Martin was the one who created the original tunes and demos though, and I think that he needs WAAAAAY more recognition than he actually gets. Creating unique and different tunes in a short span of time was really incredible, not mentioning the synths at that time. Alan only gives the demos instruments and more life, but I don't see it being THAT noteworthy.
All I need in this coldest Russian winter is to: drink a cup of hot coffee, keep warm in bed and... listen to the soft voice of Alan. The greatest musician ever. 😊
This man is SO amazing. Musical genius, good looks, such a gentleman in person, I mean, what is not to like? Maybe this demonstration might be boring to some, however, just demonstrates how brilliant and talented he is.
jakubpetricek How lucky you were! When did that happened? Recently? We don't hear much from him now what is very sad ... I've been to his concert in 2010, I was so close to meet him but unfortunately only first twenty five lucky ones in the queue could meet him. I was 26th... Been crying for one hour. He seems like very educated man with good manners.
I could watch this every night as a bedtime story. Alan has such a lovely, soothing voice. I can listen to him talk for hours on end. Love how his voice gets huskier and softer towards the end of a sentence.
We are all in love with Alan and smth makes us think he would give a damn about us :)) Divine looks, brains and talent rolled into one, that's too much for any brain to compute...
the power of ALAN WILDER! out of nowhere this melody 2:48 came back to me randomly and it won’t leave, my mind must only accept it as an actual song! is it?
No...The reason why you hear Blasphemous Rumors is the interview was cut short. After Alan's tutorial the interview continues showing DM on stage playing the song.
Hilarious that all that precious information was stored on horrible 5 1/4 floppy disks! I hope they carried around a few spares for live shows, as they were so easy to damage 😁
This is the best thing ever! More useful than some other tutorials out there, but coming from the source this is a very valuable (or invaluable) stuff.
@MrTamerlan1980 yeah, Alan is great musician, but we must remember about other important people in Depeche Mode history - Daniel Miller, Gareth Jones & Flood.
Jesus Christ, how I miss his contribution to Depeche Mode music. Funny to imagine that Alan and Fletch must have earned about the same money while Alan was in the band. He only wrote a few DM songs, so he´d only get a little more money in royalties. Otherwise, those to guys were equal. That´s fine with me, they were in a band together. But just compare the workload in and out of studio of those two. Alan recording and producing music while Fletch was playing table football. On stage - Alan playing various instruments, Fletch waving and mimicking background vocals while his mic was off. It´s just too ridiculous.
jakubpetricek Yes, that's quite sad though... He deserved more and he knew it. If his decision was right? I don't know.. But I know since that sad 1 June 1995 DM was never the same. They are wonderful, but there is no more dark and deep atmosphere in the band. He was an integral part of DM. A big shame it finished like that in that fatal period in the band. I'll never forgive Dave, he didn't try to stop him.........
I totally agree with you, Klaudia. Have a nice day. I´ve been listening to The Clash since the morning, now it´s time for Songs of Faith and Devotion :-) Take care
Alan Wilder was Core of depeche mode and this core is gone 1994... Martin is a Soul of depeche mode, David is a Voice of depeche mode and what is Flatcher? Manager?
can someone establish what synths are on the rack behind him? I think I see an Emulator III on the bottom but the others two hard to tell, so it seems this is in 1987 + cause EIII was out in '87, so maybe this is the work for the Music for the masses, so what other synths can be those 2?
Easy & simple, none of today's modern problems when you try to set up your keyboards & sound systens & the PC operating system refuses to recognise something as it's automatically updated itself & says your storage device is corrupted. Just keep your floppy drives away from the speaker magnets & life is good.
Roses are red
Violets are blue
I love Alan
And the Emulator II.
Very cute and clever💖

Alan Wilder was an actual musician. Rare in synth pop bands.
They were synthpop at the beginning, but they soon began to evolve into something with so much more depth and longetivity. D 🌹 M

Alan Wilder was the maestro of DM. They should have never let him go. A genius.
Yes, the main essence of DM whilst others (cough) Fletch (cough) stood around doing sod all but getting paid. No wonder he left
I will never get over how eloquent his speech is. Beautiful.
Sniffles So do I... Beautiful accent and very rich vocabulary.
So incredibly eloquent.
Agreed.💖

I love his voice. I could watch him explain shit for days and not get tired of it.
huh? why would he explain “shit”? lol

XO Armendariz your words are so true and showing how it is! ❤️
I was lucky to have a chat with him for about 10 minutes. A very open, modest and intelligent man. And a musical genius.
Definitely. He is awesome. :)

jakubpetricek I would die happy if I could just meet this man and thank him for shaping me into the man I am today.
i would never missed his class if he was ever a lecturer or something. i just love listening to his voice when he talks
I love the way he explains everything that a non-technical person would understand.

Most talented guy in DM. He and Vince Clark would have been epic together.
DM with Dave, Martin, Fletch, Alan, and Vince all at once would've been insane. The band at its full power
@@Nihilistic-Mystic well you could leave Fletch out and not notice to be fair
@@craigthornton1971 no, you cant just IGNORE clapping sounds
Anyone else love watching music videos just to see the keyboards back in the 80s? So many buttons, what did they all do? I was such a 🤓
Yes definitely but then check out the first analogue instruments, leads everywhere, geek paradise!
Alan Wilder is so cool. Too cool for this tutorial lol
There is no one better. Master, god, Alan Wilder, they're all the same.
Violator is one of the best synthpop album for me. :)
he has very beautiful hands!
Oh yes he does :)
Uh, that's not all that's beautiful about him... ;)
His hands are everything. He has musician hands.
Alan Wilder is beautiful PERIOD. Everything about him, eyes, voice, hands, body, hair, you name it he is perfect!
Alan is definitely a genius of Synthpop sound! ❤️🎹 I wonder if he still practices the keyboard despite of his absence in stages. 🥲✨
How can somenone dislike this?
Alan Wilder is so sweety 💞
+Isabel Caroline Müller you too :)
+cezzycezz LMAO
I love the way he talks!
Alan and his Toy ! Love it
"A Question of Lust"
Single by Depeche Mode
from the album Black Celebration
B-side --->"Christmas Island"
Great guy. I would love to hear him speak more about music production.
At the end when he plays drums and melody at the same time :|
Alan Wilder! Brilliant!
Alan, I love you!!!
A master...Charlie is a living legend
i could watch this video on endless loops
I guess it's time to make an Alan Wilder shrine.
Alan Wilder the Goth of sounds🎹🪄💜
Alan gives me ASMR vibes on here
Imagine Alan Wilder and Vince Clarke doing a collaboration. I am very curious to hear what their music would sound like.
caspur
Flood, Alan Wilder and Vince Clark vs. Dave Gahan, Martin Gore and Andrew Fletcher. Which of these Depeche Mode group will win??
Alan is on another level
GREAT ALAN WILDER LEGEND!!
Saw this report live on french TV "TV5" that days , still got this on VHS 😊😊😊
Alan very clever man
legend.
5 inch floppy disk.....how many of you still remember them
I rather marvel that samples of such quality could be stored on a few hundred kilobytes, even if it was just 8 Bit
Actually 5.25“ ;) I still have dozens of them in me cellar
I recognize those sounds from the album 'Some Great Reward'. Great work!
the power of ALAN WILDER! out of nowhere this melody 2:48 came back to me randomly and it won’t leave, my mind must only accept it as an actual song! is it?
Check Depeche Mode - Christmas Island.
No...The reason why you hear Blasphemous Rumors is the interview was cut short. After Alan's tutorial the interview continues showing DM on stage playing the song.
So now that we have gigabytes of sample memory and things doesn't sound this good? :)
Alan is the f***ing boss!!
Alan Wilder brought cool to Depeche
Brian Z Not to mention musical and technical expertise.
And sex appeal!!
Genius, Legend!!
Gran "músico" y excelente profesor de Sampling, COOL !!
This is the evidence that God exists.
Yeah, he’s sitting there behind the Emu II 😋
Esse cara já manjava muito show
simply I love him!!!
GENIUS!

Dave actually wasn´t aware of Alan´s departure. Alan tries to contact him, without success.
@@dancing_on_the_valentine_83 I can forgive Dave for that considering the state he was in being addicted to heroin.
My favourite clip is off 101 with him playing melodies and triggering samples whilst the rest of the band .......
Fucked off doing nothing. The hardcore fans have that entire demo memorized word for word.
Absolutely love it!!!
The way he looks right through your soul on 2:16

Thank you for uploading this.

Memorizing.🖤
Super!, ;-)
The ideal man. 💖💕🖤
It only requires u to remember the position u gave to each of the different sounds on the keyboard "octaves" ;)
brill skill Alan x
This video has pure gold
Thank you too much for this video!
this videos are truly legendary
He is the Best
DM never fully recovered from AW’s departure!
Really interesting and discovering video.
Alan Wilder was Core of depeche mode and this core is gone 1994... Martin is a Soul of depeche mode, David is a Voice of depeche mode and what is Flatcher? Manager?
Josh Molot ®1974 Fletcher is nowhere to be found in the DM magic.he is just a filling the blanks.
He's the glue that keeps DM together
Glorified babysitter.
dm lost there most musical member..alan wilder..and lost melody.
And Martin that came with the feeling and the mood of DM he was not musical? Lol
Gore and Alan are the best!
Agree
What about Dave? The voice of Dm!
2:17 ❤
❤❤
Its all about the "Christmas Island"...
i love it! ^^
I owe it all to you!
Flying fingers.......
christmas island has a tiny sample of blasphemous rumors in it, intriguing
You hear the beginning section of "Blasphemous Rumors" because the tv documentary then faded from Alan to a live performance of that song ! ;-)
the past was so futuristic!!
These floppy discs are clever. Where can I get one?
try ebay!!
Still wanna kiss him lol
us, the servants!!... sorry, i can't contain my feels...
can someone establish what synths are on the rack behind him? I think I see an Emulator III on the bottom but the others two hard to tell, so it seems this is in 1987 + cause EIII was out in '87, so maybe this is the work for the Music for the masses, so what other synths can be those 2?
or is an Emax 1 but the rest still don't know
"like Rick Wakeman"
Alan is the one speak most articulately among members of DM. I felt difficult in listening to Martin talk.
It sounds like And One :)
5.25" floppy 😊
No, not Somebody - believe me, it is the B Side of "Question of Lust" I have the 7" and 12" of it!
