They were still in their mid 30's here! Time sure does fly by. I was just happy to see them still releasing a new album in 1997 only 2 years after Alan left and just a year after Dave's overdose. Ultra and the Singles Tour the following year were great, but going into the 2000s I began to see that Alan left a huge musical void that can never be replaced in DM.
I love interviews from that era because they tend to be more honest and raw than earlier and later, more "professional" interviews; the three of them share more of their emotions and struggles than in many other interviews, I feel.

So honest, so thoughtful. Such a successful interview. Without one interrupting the other. Dave speaks so honestly about everything he thinks and feels. Thanks to the interviewer's gift of listening, this is the result. An incredibly honest and friendly interview with my favorite band.
Dave - so glad you didn't snub yourself, ol chap. Your voice and your songs are always so cleansing to my spirit. Always has since the 80s while I was growing up in those desperate times known as my teenage youth.
Danke für's Hochladen! Depeche Mode ist für mich die beste Band allerzeiten, hoffe dass es mehr solcher Interviews auf Deutsch gibt, finde es immer interessant.
The interviewer was very professional not talking over them and probably a fan. Does Martin speak German well because he lived in Berlin for a while in the 80s.
It was a nice long interview and it would have been interesting to hear, if you could. I really liked the interviewer though and he asked some good questions. I also like the other members of the band too, especially Martin. He's a genius talent and has a beautiful voice and I love it when he and Dave harmonize together. I'm just glad that Dave got it together and is still rocking it out in 2022!
@@DxModel219 Honestly, I just re-discovered them about 2 years ago. I used to love their music on MTV and the radio, but was raising 2 sons and had gone back to school for nursing.

Gore’s probably realising from that point the band’s best days are behind it and they’d all allowed their greatest studio asset (Alan) to slip away because of a mixture of their own laziness, selfishness, arrogance and egos. Despite what Wilder says, I think there’s a good chance he’d still be in the band today if the other three had ever taken the time to express gratitude to him for the crazy amounts of extra work he put in at the time. Such a shame really.
DM notoriously hate interviews... and I think Martin and Fletch hated them even more when interviewers wanted to focus on Dave's dramas instead of the music. And Dave was in pure confessional mode at this time, he wanted to talk about it.
+Inga M. Yes, actually. Depeche Mode is the band's Name. Interview is a commonly used word in the German language. And April is...well April in both German AND English. 1997 is a number and VH1 the Channel's name. So you cannot claim that the title was intentionally fooling you into believing that this was going to be an English video. You just had bad luck.
+TheImperfectGuy Thank you! I have never studied German. Eng not my mother tongue either. I was just a little disappointed because I discovered the band just recently and wanted to hear more :)
Alan walked away when Dave was hooked on Heroin Fletch was having a breakdown and Martin was drinking if he had cared about them he would have stayed. That's why they're so close they went through the fire and came out the other side
@Isabella You havent heard it wrong but you have apparently missed that immediately afterwards he added 'each of us in this band has huge ego so it's one less now'. And I don't agree that if Alan cared, he wouldn't have left. I understand him. He put so much work into SOFAD while the rest of the guys were a total mess and didnt care much.
Pensar que así hubiera fallecido Dave, pues tiene el golpe en la mejilla. Qué bueno que entendió que la vida le estaba dando otra oportunidad. Voy va Dave Hagan.
I guess he´s free to speak whenever he wants. It seems that he´s fine with not talking too much in this interview. At least to me, he looks and sounds completely sad, disillusioned and burnt out here.
@@crazymairnonaya8379 Es así,todo le queda bien.Mi opinión humilde,le haría bien lucir más "descuidado",descontracturado,estilo Gore.Lo que él elija es todo lo que está bien!Con esa "percha"...!💖
I think the way Dave describes things is somehow insensitive…(About Alan) besides, he claims the most of interview time for himself - About 3 min. describing his personality - whereby the important member of DM is actually Martin. He´d have a lot to tell. Dave wouldn´t let him.... At least he admits he's immensely egocentric. That is something....on the way to a better karma.
So these guys just had done an album, the quality of which being a lightyear below the standards Alan had set with MFTM, Violater, SOFAD, and they - without any irony - state that it was easier that way. Yes guys, making average music is a lot easier than making brilliant masterpieces, but that isn't a matter of anybody's ego.
it sounds very interesting but I don't understand most of it because my German is poor :( Can some one translate at least the most interesting parts ? Thanks !
Dave's favorite video (or one of them) is Enjoy The Silence. Hated it at the beginning because of the dressup Fletch said they do suffer from the pressure: perfect sounds, perfect songs, perfect shows, perfect interviews...it's inhuman Dave opened up about his drug abuse and massive problems. Wanted "the fix" asap, feeling happy as soon as the rush kicked in...explained it all
So sick of them trashing Alan. He was the architect of their success and rightfully got tired of the toxicity, dysfunction, childish communication, drug use, alcohol, and absurd workload without commensurate acknowledgement. Just look at the quality of their work from Ultra onwards -- it's Demo Mode, and often downright unlistenable. Calling Americans "nazis" during their unlistenable Spirit album was the cherry on top. Fletch should have his very own wing at the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame for the longest tenured barnacle with no musical talent or input. Way to ruin the band, jerks.
These guys looked drained from the last tour with Alan. Although they have never admitted it, they were deeply hurt by his departure but always put on a front that they were indifferent & couldn’t give a shit. Because of THEIR egos they never acknowledged Alan’s musical direction and influence. That is what pisses me off to this day, and that’s why I, personally, don’t give a shit about their new stuff. Plus, it kind of sounds crap.
damn i hate these "dubbed" interviews. can't german people understand english?? makes me furious that this good interview is ruined 'cause this irritating guy babbling over Dave!
They are talking about the problems they all had during the SOFAD tour and Alan leaving! The chap speaking over their voices spoils the video. I wonder if it’s available without and we can hear the band speaking without his interference!

I Think he is funny
Valeria T Yeah, and btw these days for his really fuckin' hard times! Full respect 2 the 1 n only Mr. Dave Gahan!!! ;)
Martin came off incredibly cruel in that exchange. Maybe chalk it up to his social awkwardness, but still...
Un encanto de ver cuando ríen juntos...03:20.Deliciosos.

These guys can be so beautifully candid in their interviews. I wish I could have caught everything they said here. The dub job is freaking annoying.
They made great points. Like the pressure from everybody to be perfect, from the sounds to the interviews to the shows

Yep his workload more than doubled. God knows Fletch and Dave didnt hop behind to help Engineer and Produce or play the part Alan was doing.
