Depeche Mode is the definition of synth pop. You think it sounds like 80‘s? That’s because they defined the sound of that decade. Absolute giants since 40 years.
Depeche Mode has so many songs you should react to. Like "Just Can't Get Enough", "Master & Servants", "Strange Love" and "It's No Good" just to name a few.
Saw Them last summer at parken stadium in Copenhagen, 48000 people having The Time of their lives, This band is after 40 years still among The 5 best live bands in The World🖤🔥 and This is from a metal guy.
I went to a Depeche Mode concert my Senior year of High School (1997) & it was awesome! 🥰 Depeche Mode, Erasure, Beautiful South, Tears for Fears, The Smiths… Pet Shop Boys! ❤ Wow… these bands were the soundtrack to some of my High School years! I remember spending hours burning playlists on CD’s of all these bands! 😂
The crazy thing about this band, is that they started in 1981, and almost every year in the 80's they released an album. They struck commercial US success with the album previous to this, in 1988 and toured a 101 concert streak across the country ending in the Rose Bowl in Pasadena. In the early 90's they began their 'album almost every four years' trend that has carried on to current times, with their latest album that just came out last year. 40 years of constant albums. few bands can say that.
This song was recorded 1989 and released 2/1990. Love this album. Their song “Somebody” was my first dance with my husband at our wedding. I also love the deep cut “I Want It All.”
Was our first dance too, my sister also chose the lyrics for of our readings. Was fortunate enough to see Alan Wilder perform it with them at the Royal Albert Hall not long after our wedding.
error: you have to listen to Depeche Mode with headphones, because of all their mixing creativity in terms of panning, 3d effects...etc We're talking about 35 years ago. This song was an absolut classic, big hit at the end of the 80's.
Saw Violator tour in 1996. Junior in HS. K ew every word all their songs. Somebody was on repeat for so many years. Li e shows unreal. Check a live version Personal Jesus?❤❤❤ welcome to the founders of the synth tech world. More Dee pech mode!
DM redefined music back in the early 80's. The Cure - Kraftwerk - New Order & Depeche Mode are pioneers of this sound. DM went from being called a "One Hit Wonder," to releasing multiple hits & selling over 100 Million records. Inducted into the Rock n Roll Hall of Fame & to this day is the most covered synth pop band in history. They have influenced thousands of bands. They are absolute legends. I saw them live 3 times in 2024 alone! Incredible band live. - A song I would highly recommend off of the same album as "Enjoy the Silence," is "HALO."
You got it right... It's a French name meaning "Fast Fashion" ("deep - esh mode") even though the band is British... They debuted as an electronic synth pop group in 1980... 'Enjoy the silence' was from 1990 - it became one of Depeche Mode's biggest singles from the iconic album 'Violator'... which also had the hit singles: "Personal Jesus" ... 'Halo' ... 'Policy of truth' ... 'World in my eyes'...🔥🔥
I have bootleg tapes of early gigs where Dave Gahan clearly introduces the band as "Dep-esh-ay" Mode with an accent, but they reverted to "Dep-esh" quite early on...
Welcome to DM. Deeeeeep rabbit hole of amazing f'ing music. Trust your instincts, you pronounced it correctly, De-pesh Mode. Some of my faves, nowhere near all. Personal Jesus A Question Of Lust People Are People Master and Servant Stripped
Good Choices , this is one of my fav bands , saw them at the legendary Rose Bowl concert in 88 , such a great concert . I am so happy BP checked them out !!!
@blurpledragon2779 I'm jealous! I've never seen them but would have died to go. I can't go any longer, sadly. I just wanted to hear Dave's voice flow into me the way only a live concert does.
I remember seeing this guy's in a pub and their music was fun back then. The 80'a and 90's was a brilliant time in the UK as everyone was so accessible, played clubs, pubs and such...the best of times.
This whole album (Violator) is fire. That album and their next one (Songs of Faith and Devotion) are masterpieces. And few can top them live in their prime.
Beat has not aged. Depeche Mode were ground breaking, and were part of the early Alternative scene which created numerous iconic bands that still play today - and all if not most, in the Rock N Roll Hall of Fame - Depecehe Mode, the CURE, New Order, Echo and The Bunnymen, and a few others....
The best version of this song is actually a live version. DEPECHE MODE - ENJOY THE SILENCE (LIVE IN BERLIN) ua-cam.com/video/-_3dc6X-Iwo/v-deo.htmlsi=wbascPlzk4NE2rw2
This has been my favorite band since my friend from the UK, who moved to Canada when he was young, brought his music collection with him and introduced me to their music in the later 80's. I have seen them multiple times in Canada and the US, and in 2017 I flew to see them at the Olympic Stadium in London, with VIP early access tickets. Me and about 40 other people got lead onto the stadium field a couple hours before the concert and were allowed to set up our spots at the stage front for the show. Looking back, during the concert, and seeing near 80,000 people behind me, packing the stadium, was the absolute best time in my entire life.
Depeche mode are brilliant. You should also check out "Shake the Disease", "Personal Jesus", and "Free Love". They were big in my country in the 90s, when I was a teenager.
I feel like this was their best album. Almost every single song is a banger. This band was way more popular in Europe than they were here in the U.S. You were wondering about the vocals ... Dude sounds just like that in very song. Top quality every time.
Flew from Tulsa to Dallas after work to catch this concert in '92 ish. Rode back to Tulsa in the back of a truck with my friends and was back at work at the bank at 8am. Oh, to be young again.
Depeche Mode was my favourite band in high school! I still remember hearing them for the first time! I had their CASSETTES! I still listen even though I think there are only two remaining
Love this track but my fave by Depeche mode is definitely PERSONAL JESUS, the driving groove on it is epic! Hope you get round to it. :-) I really enjoy your enthusiastic reactions, sending love and appreciation from Sunny England 🤩
This is one of the BEST bands ever!!! LOVE them. This song always makes me dance. I’ll be on the train just bobbing and singing. I don’t care who’s looking 🤣🤣
Shake the disease, Personal Jesus, People are people, Master and servant, No good, Blasphemous rumours, A question of time, A question of lust, Stripped, Behind the wheel, Little 16, Walking in my shoes, Policy of truth, Love in itself, Just can't get enough
❤😊 Yep, first heard them in Germany...1990 I think...bought their cassette and just about wore it out listening to them daily. Good stuff. Thanks for reacting 👍
They were definitely products and pioneers of the early 80's New Wave movement that came out of the UK. This band specifically favored synth because as teenagers, the original band mates weren't allowed to make too much noise in the house, so using actual classic instruments was not in the cards. They did incorporate them in the later 80's as their success grew. That straight synth has become a hallmark sound for the band over the years though.
I spent 28 hours (14 hours each way) on an overnight, cross-country bus to see these guys in concert. Let me tell you, it was worth it. I had never been to anything so otherworldy(?), nor have I since. Everyone dancing, but still focussed on the stage. Hours of being transported from reality into the feelings, emotions, and movement. It was incredibly immersive. These guys and many others like them were the reason I emigrated to the UK.
I watched this video like 6 times bro i love how as the song goes on u love the song more and more. And when u wanted him to sing more at the end that was awesome
From the 80s to today. They are still outstanding. Check out before we drown, wrong, home, personal jesus, barrel of a gun, always you, walk in my shoes.....oh there is so many.
MY FAVORITE BAND since the age of 16 .. I’m still a huge fan… ICONIC 80’s Nu Wave band… from the UK …. They just finished their world tour last year to sold out Arenas around the world… the music catalog is amazing…. BEHIND THE WHEEL is a great track too…
Depeche Mode started in 1980, first album was out in 81 and they have continude and are still making music and touring to this day! They are truely one of a kind!
Love the lyrics. Take what you want from it either a love interest in your arms or a drug your addicted to. Works seamlessly for both. Brilliant piece of art.
DEPECHE MODE is my second favorite band of all times. I have this song with their name tattoed on my lower arm. DM-Enjoy the Silence w the rose. They are a masterpiece as well. I was released in 1990.
Great choice! Depeche Mode one of my favorite bands...and you said it correctly. They were considered New Wave back then. This is my favorite album of theirs and my 2nd fav song on it. To the "Policy of Truth", my favorite..words are great to that also. And to answer the question, this came out in 1990. Another 80s great one is "People are People"..also fabulous song! ❤
What I love about the 80's specifically New Wave is that artist just interpreted their songs in their Own (distinct authentic) Voice. No One was trying to OUT Sing or OUT perform each other with vocal gymnastics and histrionics. It never occurred to me that that would ever be a thing and it makes me wish that that was not the case in modern music.
Saw them last year and loved every minute of. One critic said "Even if sentimentality remains part of their draw, in 2023 Depeche Mode can still put on a show that reminds its audience that great songs transcend aesthetics, fads and even eras."
DM is one of my top favorite bands from college days. I can't even count how many time I saw them live. Their was a movie in the early 80s called Summer Lovers and DM is played in the background of a scene. Just Can't Get Enough caught my ear and I searched out the band.
You are saying the name correct. Depeche Mode in translation means fast fashion. Depeche Mode was recently inducted into the Rock Hall of Fame. They were massively popular on college alternative radio in the 80s but in the 90s with “Enjoy the Silence” brought them to the mainstream. They have played live everywhere and have done the unbelievable. They sold out the Rose Bowl in 1988. The show was recorded and released as a film called “101.” They even caused a riot in downtown Los Angeles when they came in for an instore signing. They are pioneers of electronic music. Many of the artists and musicians of today cite Depeche Mode as one of their influences.
So... Enjoy the Silence is actually from 1990, but DM had their first album released 1980, so you could say 80s synthpop is spot on. Although they are much more than that, given that they are still active, and had their last album released just two years ago (just months after they lost Andy Fletcher, the bands keyboard player). They were nominated three times for the Rock'n Roll Hall of fame, entering it in 2020 with their 3rd nomination, and all of their 15 studio albums reached (sometimes multiple) gold or even platinum status. If you wanna get more into it i have some recommendations to get a good feel for them : "I feel you", "Just can't get enough", "Personal Jesus", "People are people"
They are from Basildon in Essex. 30 miles from London. They went to school with Alison Moyet (from Yaz as you Americans call them). Vince Clarke was the early songwriter who left just as Depeche just as they were breaking and started Yaz with Alison Moyet. They went to my school! I delivered papers to Dave Gahans mum!
This is a band that reinvented itself at least 3 times: started as UK-weenie elctro-pop (just can't get enough); next phase was dark synch perfection (master & servant, violator and many others) and third came their Los Angeles heroin chic dark rock synth phase (walking in my shoes). During the early/mid 80s to the early 90s there were 4 UK bands that got pretty big eventually but started out sorta obscure especially in the USA: Cure, Smiths, DM and U2 ... and while anyone who adopted them early before they got semi-big usually liked more than one of them they usually had one of them that they identified with more than the others; the really introverted sensitive gothy types often loved the Cure most, the nerdy sensitive white guys like myself were Smiths/Morrissey identifiers and while i never knew a teens/20s ish person actually cool enough to identify with DM (many faked it or pretended to) they were the band of the coolest kid you knew who smoked and was a tortured soul (DM had lots of female fans who lusted for Dave Gahan) ... and mainstream dorks liked U2 who were the lamest of these bands by a country mile and couldn't musically or culturally hold a candle to any of the other three.
i was obsessed with depeche mode (in addition to joy division/new order) in high school (in the early 2000s). found out later my mom loved them when she was in her 20s. their stuff did and still does stand the test of time.
Dépêche Mode was the name of a french fashion magazine back then... They have a fanbase of hundreds of millions sticking devoted to them since 40yrs... it wasn't mainstream back then - it is indie, influenced by Kraftwerk, David Bowie and more... Dave back then was highly addicted to heroine - which was in his arms... he was clinically dead four times and survived... Been at every tour since 1983 when I was 13 - it was my 24th concert with them tonight. My most beloved song: its called a heart Check out how the crowds are waving at every concert... especially with never let me down again
Yes, this was big. The song and the band were huge. Absolute megastars. This is the category pf band and song where it is hard to believe that somebody never noticed it before. If you liked it, Depeche mode is a band with many megahits. I think "Personal Jesus" might be a good one to react to. They also do very good concerts and there are excellent live versions of their songs. I personally love the gentle live version of "Shake the disease", which also has beautiful lyrics.
They are one of the pioneering synthpop acts. They made synthpop accessible too. There is a good doc called Sythn Britannia that is great. Depeche Mode's was on Mute Records. Daniel Miller owns the label and produced several of their records. Daniel Miller did one single as the Normal, Warm Leatherette. Most definitely an 80's club staple.
Depeche Mode is the definition of synth pop. You think it sounds like 80‘s? That’s because they defined the sound of that decade. Absolute giants since 40 years.
Truth is policy...
80s and 90s
Sure enough, but in all fairness violator does not really sound like an 80's album - which it isn't.
This song is great.
You need to check out Lacuna Coil's version of this song.
"This must have been big"
If you only knew 😂
Finally you came to Depeche Mode. Absolute classic of electronic music
😂
Classic and evergreen
Dave is king of the moutain
That's a fact!!
Yes but even more so they are still making albums and still selling out stadiums around the world!
Love Depeche Mode, one of the best British bands of their era ❤
and this era as well… ❤
Right!
Yesss
DM never gets old, always will be around. We are getting old, this tune will be timeless.
Can I add The Cure?
Depeche Mode has so many songs you should react to. Like "Just Can't Get Enough", "Master & Servants", "Strange Love" and "It's No Good" just to name a few.
That's a good start. There are 2 many to name.
Not forgetting "Personal Jesus" of course
Yes, Personal Jesus and People are People
What a banger 🔥🔥🔥
I'd vote for 'Wrong'. The bass drop in that is ridiculous.
Depeche Mode 👋The live version of Enjoy the Silence is amazing 👌
Live in Berlin

Was it "Music for the Masses"? Been there 96, I think. Was awesome!
and dont forget OMD, Echo and the Bunnymen, the Alarm Midnight Oil, These groups are all on my playlist!
Oh tears for fears!!!!

They are actually still making music to this day... But they have so many other great songs too! Do People are People and also Personal Jesus.
and many reactions have been done to the Johnny Cash cover (which is great!) without going to the original Depeche Mode first...
"People are People" "Never Let Me Down Again" and "Just Can't Get Enough" are just a few great songs from DM.
and "Eversything counts" ( in large amounts) a very unique critique on capitalism and greed..
This song was recorded 1989 and released 2/1990. Love this album. Their song “Somebody” was my first dance with my husband at our wedding. I also love the deep cut “I Want It All.”
Was our first dance too, my sister also chose the lyrics for of our readings.
Was fortunate enough to see Alan Wilder perform it with them at the Royal Albert Hall not long after our wedding.

enjoy the silence is 1990 not 80s
@@slayercfv recorded in 1989. The time when the song was made, not released.
Treat yourself to the live version and watch a master class in commanding an audience. This song is timeless.
Saw Violator tour in 1996. Junior in HS. K ew every word all their songs. Somebody was on repeat for so many years. Li e shows unreal. Check a live version Personal Jesus?❤❤❤ welcome to the founders of the synth tech world. More Dee pech mode!
You can tell Dave loved Freddy Mercury
David Gahan has such confidence and total command of the audience. I love watching him perform and move on stage. The tone of his voice draws me in.
I love the live version even more cause you can see how much he is enjoying it himself.

Violator is the most perfect album ever recorded
Agreed!!!
They took their name from the French magazine "Dépêche Mode"
I have bootleg tapes of early gigs where Dave Gahan clearly introduces the band as "Dep-esh-ay" Mode with an accent, but they reverted to "Dep-esh" quite early on...
Since it's French, it can't be pronounded "deep" ;)
They are AMAZING live. The singer, Dave Gahan is one the most captivating front men. Sooo good!
One of the best bands I've ever seen live.
100% agree. Seen them multiple times live and they are just incredible
Next: people are people, was a global no 1 in the 80s.
Welcome to DM. Deeeeeep rabbit hole of amazing f'ing music. Trust your instincts, you pronounced it correctly, De-pesh Mode. Some of my faves, nowhere near all.

I refuse to believe a grown man in the music industry no less have never heard of Depeche Mode, or not even know how to pronounce it

I wonder what he would think of Blasphemous Rumours?
The biggest band on Earth (after Queen) still going strong in 2024!
Just seen them live in concert again in Hamburg, Germany on Saturday....devotee for life🖤🖤🖤
I feel like this was their best album. Almost every single song is a banger. This band was way more popular in Europe than they were here in the U.S. You were wondering about the vocals ... Dude sounds just like that in very song. Top quality every time.
Yes you’re right even though they still pulled a crowd of over 60000 already back in 1988 at the 101 concert, Rose Bowl in Pasadena, California.
he has royalty in his voice. That's Dave Gahan, and the best description of his voice. This is where the majestic feel of their music comes from.
Flew from Tulsa to Dallas after work to catch this concert in '92 ish. Rode back to Tulsa in the back of a truck with my friends and was back at work at the bank at 8am. Oh, to be young again.
They were still recording in the studio 1992 and started touring in 93 so probably at that time. Amazing concerts all though their “Devotional” tour.
Yeah 93 but sure age means nothing .
"All I ever wanted, All I ever needed, Is here in my arms" is thought to be a reference to shooting up heroin.
Excellent reaction. I bought my first leather jacket after watching this video. They looked so cool.
Depeche Mode was my favourite band in high school! I still remember hearing them for the first time! I had their CASSETTES! I still listen even though I think there are only two remaining
Love this track but my fave by Depeche mode is definitely PERSONAL JESUS, the driving groove on it is epic! Hope you get round to it. :-) I really enjoy your enthusiastic reactions, sending love and appreciation from Sunny England 🤩
1990 I was a Sophomore in college & the club mix on this was everywhere 🔥 every club, frat, & sorority house bumped this hard
This is one of the BEST bands ever!!! LOVE them. This song always makes me dance. I’ll be on the train just bobbing and singing. I don’t care who’s looking 🤣🤣
Haven't you heard IT on the radio....IT was on for the last 40 yrs😉😉😉 I literally just came back from the concert ❤🎉❤
Shake the disease, Personal Jesus, People are people, Master and servant, No good, Blasphemous rumours, A question of time, A question of lust, Stripped, Behind the wheel, Little 16, Walking in my shoes, Policy of truth, Love in itself, Just can't get enough

This band specifically favored synth because as teenagers, the original band mates weren't allowed to make too much noise in the house, so using actual classic instruments was not in the cards. They did incorporate them in the later 80's as their success grew. That straight synth has become a hallmark sound for the band over the years though.

I watched this video like 6 times bro i love how as the song goes on u love the song more and more. And when u wanted him to sing more at the end that was awesome
Love Depeche Mode....... More UK 80s bands please..... Thanks BP
I love Depeche, my 15-19 years was very influented by them. .Loved this reaction, But do expect more reactions to them. Hugs from Sweden.
From the 80s to today. They are still outstanding. Check out before we drown, wrong, home, personal jesus, barrel of a gun, always you, walk in my shoes.....oh there is so many.
MY FAVORITE BAND since the age of 16 .. I’m still a huge fan… ICONIC 80’s Nu Wave band… from the UK …. They just finished their world tour last year to sold out Arenas around the world… the music catalog is amazing…. BEHIND THE WHEEL is a great track too…
You should watch Depeche Mode "Enjoy the silence" live in Germany. You will not be disappointed.
This is my favorite reaction video of all time. As the song goes on your feeling the song more and more
Depeche Mode is fire and a great catalog of hits!❤
Depeche Mode started in 1980, first album was out in 81 and they have continude and are still making music and touring to this day! They are truely one of a kind!
Also if you ever get the chance, see them live! You will not be disappointed!
massive band massive influence massive impact
Yes Daves voice is mesmerizing! Weve been obsessed with his voice for 40 yrs...😂

DEPECHE MODE is my second favorite band of all times. I have this song with their name tattoed on my lower arm. DM-Enjoy the Silence w the rose. They are a masterpiece as well. I was released in 1990.
Alan Wilder is the genius behind the sound on this track.
Depeche Mode - the greatest ever synth pop band!
Great choice! Depeche Mode one of my favorite bands...and you said it correctly. They were considered New Wave back then. This is my favorite album of theirs and my 2nd fav song on it.
To the "Policy of Truth", my favorite..words are great to that also.
And to answer the question, this came out in 1990. Another 80s great one is "People are People"..also fabulous song!
❤
I remember being at the clubs and them playing this song. It was like a mesmerizing song to dance to. ❤
You are pronouncing it correctly and this song was released in 1990. It’s also AMAZING live in person.
The most 80s sounding song in 1990.
Best British New Wave band of all time.
Legends ,many classics ,Biggest band of this kind of music
DM is all my life...saw them 4 times in concert....each time like a celebration....a religion without danger.... 43 years of grace
Great sounds never age...ever! The video is the sound made into pictures. Perfection.
Depeche Mode is 80s royalty! They did a live version of their classic song (Walk In My Shoes) on the BBC SiriusXM radio. It is magical!!!
Try out 'Personal Jesus' next - it's also off the 'Violator' album from 1989.
Kust saw them in concert. They are still awesome! Personal jeasus and I just cant get enough are my favorite 🔥
just a few sugguestions for future Depeche Mode songs: Everything Counts, Personal Jesus, Blasphesmous Rumours, Just Can't Get Enough
What I love about the 80's specifically New Wave is that artist just interpreted their songs in their Own (distinct authentic) Voice. No One was trying to OUT Sing or OUT perform each other with vocal gymnastics and histrionics. It never occurred to me that that would ever be a thing and it makes me wish that that was not the case in modern music.
Layering vintage synths ... it was something special. They made a work of art.
I was in love in that band! When I heard first time,, never let me down''-crazyyyy.,, policy of truth''... Long time ago.. ❤❤❤
Saw them last year and loved every minute of. One critic said "Even if sentimentality remains part of their draw, in 2023 Depeche Mode can still put on a show that reminds its audience that great songs transcend aesthetics, fads and even eras."
I first heard DM when I was 15 years old. Now I'm 55, but I'm still a fanatic...
DM is one of my top favorite bands from college days. I can't even count how many time I saw them live. Their was a movie in the early 80s called Summer Lovers and DM is played in the background of a scene. Just Can't Get Enough caught my ear and I searched out the band.
You are saying the name correct. Depeche Mode in translation means fast fashion. Depeche Mode was recently inducted into the Rock Hall of Fame. They were massively popular on college alternative radio in the 80s but in the 90s with “Enjoy the Silence” brought them to the mainstream. They have played live everywhere and have done the unbelievable. They sold out the Rose Bowl in 1988. The show was recorded and released as a film called “101.” They even caused a riot in downtown Los Angeles when they came in for an instore signing. They are pioneers of electronic music. Many of the artists and musicians of today cite Depeche Mode as one of their influences.
So... Enjoy the Silence is actually from 1990, but DM had their first album released 1980, so you could say 80s synthpop is spot on. Although they are much more than that, given that they are still active, and had their last album released just two years ago (just months after they lost Andy Fletcher, the bands keyboard player). They were nominated three times for the Rock'n Roll Hall of fame, entering it in 2020 with their 3rd nomination, and all of their 15 studio albums reached (sometimes multiple) gold or even platinum status. If you wanna get more into it i have some recommendations to get a good feel for them : "I feel you", "Just can't get enough", "Personal Jesus", "People are people"
They are from Basildon in Essex. 30 miles from London. They went to school with Alison Moyet (from Yaz as you Americans call them). Vince Clarke was the early songwriter who left just as Depeche just as they were breaking and started Yaz with Alison Moyet. They went to my school! I delivered papers to Dave Gahans mum!
I've been hearing this song since i was a kid and realized it was the first time i Saw the video❤
This was one of my favorite bands, i got their albums on tape ☝️❤️ they had special music and lyrics ‼️
OMG!! YES Dave Gahan has a fantastic voice one of the best
Depeche Mode was the best band of the '80s. Once you go down the DM rabbit hole you won't come up for air for quite awhile.
This is a band that reinvented itself at least 3 times: started as UK-weenie elctro-pop (just can't get enough); next phase was dark synch perfection (master & servant, violator and many others) and third came their Los Angeles heroin chic dark rock synth phase (walking in my shoes). During the early/mid 80s to the early 90s there were 4 UK bands that got pretty big eventually but started out sorta obscure especially in the USA: Cure, Smiths, DM and U2 ... and while anyone who adopted them early before they got semi-big usually liked more than one of them they usually had one of them that they identified with more than the others; the really introverted sensitive gothy types often loved the Cure most, the nerdy sensitive white guys like myself were Smiths/Morrissey identifiers and while i never knew a teens/20s ish person actually cool enough to identify with DM (many faked it or pretended to) they were the band of the coolest kid you knew who smoked and was a tortured soul (DM had lots of female fans who lusted for Dave Gahan) ... and mainstream dorks liked U2 who were the lamest of these bands by a country mile and couldn't musically or culturally hold a candle to any of the other three.
i was obsessed with depeche mode (in addition to joy division/new order) in high school (in the early 2000s). found out later my mom loved them when she was in her 20s. their stuff did and still does stand the test of time.
Depeche mode are still killing it you should do live version of this 😊
Dépêche Mode was the name of a french fashion magazine back then...
They have a fanbase of hundreds of millions sticking devoted to them since 40yrs... it wasn't mainstream back then - it is indie, influenced by Kraftwerk, David Bowie and more...
Dave back then was highly addicted to heroine - which was in his arms... he was clinically dead four times and survived...
Been at every tour since 1983 when I was 13 - it was my 24th concert with them tonight. My most beloved song: its called a heart
Check out how the crowds are waving at every concert... especially with never let me down again
Yes, this was big. The song and the band were huge. Absolute megastars. This is the category pf band and song where it is hard to believe that somebody never noticed it before.
If you liked it, Depeche mode is a band with many megahits. I think "Personal Jesus" might be a good one to react to. They also do very good concerts and there are excellent live versions of their songs. I personally love the gentle live version of "Shake the disease", which also has beautiful lyrics.
The whole Violator album is fire! There's not a bad song on it 🔥🔥🔥
They are one of the pioneering synthpop acts. They made synthpop accessible too. There is a good doc called Sythn Britannia that is great. Depeche Mode's was on Mute Records. Daniel Miller owns the label and produced several of their records. Daniel Miller did one single as the Normal, Warm Leatherette. Most definitely an 80's club staple.
Holy crap, you understood the verse the first time out? That's rare. All I need is here is in my arms. Well done.
I was able to see them live in Barcelona, astounding, one of my best memories !! ❤❤ great reaction bro!!!
Yes, indeed. There's something about his voice.... The music: dark and beautiful, but makes you wanna get down and boogie with those goth stylings...
Amazing band! In the 90's I worked in the building Dave Gahan lived in. I used to talk to him whever I had the chance, he was a super nice guy.
