The song "What's Your Name" makes "But Not Tonight" sound like a masterpiece! Funny how Martin questioned that person's sexuality when people have been questioning his for 30 years!
+Daisy Suspiria Ah, I see. I didn't know anything about Simon, until I watched this video, because I have no TV; and I'm not even sure if it comes on TV in the U.S.
I'm in London UK, and Simon is a young , talented, witty, gay jewish tv presenter, comedian...He is wonderful! :) There is a show in the UK called Nevermind the Buzzcocks (loosely based on Sex Pistols' Nevermind the Bollocks album) It is a hilarious panel game with celebrities...and Simon presented it at one point but he does a lot of other stuff in the UK... He is the kind of person who is able to get away with asking a lot of controversial questions... And he was presenting The Big Ones which were meant to be really off the cuff , weird questions... He did id with Placebo and others.. xxx
Brilliant, I LOVE this sort of humor! I always imagined it'd be a lot of fun to hang around with them. I still think Martin is the kookiest of them all :D Just to think this is the guy who wrote all THOSE gorgeous, dark, moody songs!
I just favorited this. I love that they aren't snobs, even though they could be since they're so talented. It's good to know they are very witty, even though their music can be very serious. Love them!
This is so fricking funny! You can see from their studio clips that they all have a great sense of humor and this just proves it. I laughed so hard I made spit marks on the computer screen--especially at Martin's parts!
Just needed this tonight.I'd just finished watching some from the Violator through Devotional period and they had brought me down. This quick shotgun approach makes them answer so quickfire and fun.
I have lost count of how many times I've seen this interview and it cracks me up every time. I love the interviewer shamelessly flirting with them and pouring all over Martin! Whenever I need cheering up this is the video I go to. When was it conducted?
i agree with fletch that world in my eyes is the best song. Im 15 and violator was the first album I got. my dad gave it to me and i fell in love with it.
***** The only good song by Duran is Save a Prayer. Everything else they done are disposable. Depeche Mode, on the other hand, are legends. Duran Duran simply cannot compare.
Simon Le Bon's comment, while seeming nice on the surface, is really a put-down. The finger-waving and feigned straining of memory on Simon's part, plus the "like your stuff, keep it up" bit, implied that Duran Duran was a bigger, more established band than Depeche Mode, that the latter were just an up-and-comer or not as good. (Makes me wonder when that exchange between David and Simon happened).
I love Condemnation. I dig Freelove, But not tonight, A question of Lust, Insight, Sometimes, Somebody, Nothing is impossible, songs from the lasr album, etc...songs from the first album...
Смешное интервью,но всё равно они такие серьёзные,прям до ужаса,особенно Дэйв.Я думаю если бы такое интервью сделали с ними в году 93 - 94 было куда веселее,по известным фанатам причинам
I think this story was from 1982 or something when they were on "top of the pops" .Duran duran were one of the biggest band on earth at that moment , Depeche Mode had just started so probably Simon were a little bit arrogant. They were young too and this things happen. Well, now we can say whose the biggest score innit :)))
@morrisondan definitley, but i do find Duran Duran's bass player John Taylor a quite good one, and i like a couple of tunes, but thats it, not in the same league as DM for sure
As much as i like Duran Duran, they are merely a singles band, while Depeche Mode have fantastic singles AND album tracks which could easily be singles.
It took a while..but they were young too! But it's true, when Vince left they really became a proper band!I think they gave their best thinking they weren't' good enough..but they were wrong! ;)
I remember an article posted in a magazine many years ago(80's)describing Martin's teeth as "a wonky set of choppers". I hate to say it but I miss those choppers. I know Martin, I know, you had to do what you had to do. I just miss them, that's all :| Great interview.
Don't tell me, don't tell me............keep up the good work. Funny from a band who hasn't done anything creative for almost 20 years. Dave your the man but get Alan back in.
What was Martin Gore favourite song ? :), - Hm . I find it difficult to pick one myself, - they have composed countless good songs! . Only real competitor i can think of is Gary Numan, - but only logic since he is considered pioneer of commercial electronic music.

+Skye ID That was the whole point, Simon Amstell is openly gay :)

But Not Tonight is one of their best songs.
But Not Tonight is a great song though
Wow, you know when Martin Gore questions your sexuality you're fucked!
...literally LOL
sometimes i fall off chairs
Martin says what ever comes to mind doesn't he lmao
Makes me miss Alan even more.
I love the look Dave gives that little boy interviewer that look @ 3:09.
Lupe Vélez
Lupe Vélez the same

Top lads.
I just favorited this. I love that they aren't snobs, even though they could be since they're so talented. It's good to know they are very witty, even though their music can be very serious. Love them!

My favorite DM interview of all time. I watch it over and over!
-Interviewer: 'What is the best song by Depeche Mode?'
-David Gahan: 'For me, I think, probably Condom Nation'.
;-)
The kid doing the interview was so cute and funny!
"i like the drunk one especially."
"i like to drink."
Seeing you all live , listening your music and voices are one of the best things I will ever experience in my life , Thank you , Gracias, Dankeschön
I love the drunk one too!!!
4:09 "it's a lovely thing to see!" Oh yes, definitely!!!!!!!!

Go Jump i
I lost it at the last question.
BEST interview EVER. LOL! I especially like the drunk one too
WONDERFUL INTERVIEW!!!! So funny!!!! Good 2 see the guys having a laugh.....thanks 4 posting!
I love this interview...I think i'd pay to see Martin and the Funny Guy with the questions get it on....
Just needed this tonight.I'd just finished watching some from the Violator through Devotional period and they had brought me down. This quick shotgun approach makes them answer so quickfire and fun.
My two (or four) favourite things in one video. Marvelous. Marvelous indeed.
I have lost count of how many times I've seen this interview and it cracks me up every time. I love the interviewer shamelessly flirting with them and pouring all over Martin! Whenever I need cheering up this is the video I go to. When was it conducted?
Who is the interviewer? He is Brilliant! Engaging and interesting questions. Not your run of the mill crap.
i agree, he's very good. they were all really funny as well!
He's charming. Everyone in that room was charming.
TimeTraveller From AlphaVill. InCogneto also as well.
+EarthosCanada are you still big in Japan?
JustMyShadow Now..
Very cool. I like this interview.
i agree with fletch that world in my eyes is the best song. Im 15 and violator was the first album I got. my dad gave it to me and i fell in love with it.
Funnily enough, Duran Duran are so much smaller than DM :)
DM rule !!!
OMG, Dave looked so hot here and he was funny as well, I liked the interview!
Love these guys they are so cheaky and funny🌹
2:57 The exchange about PJ Harvey was probably my favourite bit.
Does Andy Fletcher remind anyone else of the comedian Sean Lock?
SimonLeWHO? ^^ big lol : a nobody now... Dave was so classy in not answering back...and see who's who now... :P
***** The only good song by Duran is Save a Prayer. Everything else they done are disposable. Depeche Mode, on the other hand, are legends. Duran Duran simply cannot compare.
+Mutant Baby I hold them both on the same level but DM has deeper songs with meaning.
+steph abo early stuff of DD was very poetic an deep. F.i. The chauffeur
Where the f*ck were Duran Duran in the last 30 years... #DepecheMode always & forever! Great interview!
My favorite interview with DM! :) Great stuff!

FUNNY! Never seen before! Thank you very much!
Haha, Martin rocks :D It's really funny!
very very funny! They are so nice, sweet and smart
Duran Duran used be my favorite band until I discovered DM in the early 90's, DD is fun, but after DM, I grew. DM is the real deal.
Смешное интервью,но всё равно они такие серьёзные,прям до ужаса,особенно Дэйв.Я думаю если бы такое интервью сделали с ними в году 93 - 94 было куда веселее,по известным фанатам причинам
I cannot rave enough about this interview. I recommend it for EVERY DM super-fan!!! THNAK YOU SO MUCH!
Martin is so funny
Every DM Devotee MUST see this. What a treat!
0:06 GOOD!
ok, burst out crying with laughter .... I hope that the gentlemen of the Depeche Mode also had a great time.
I think this story was from 1982 or something when they were on "top of the pops" .Duran duran were one of the biggest band on earth at that moment , Depeche Mode had just started so probably Simon were a little bit arrogant.
They were young too and this things happen.
Well, now we can say whose the biggest score innit :)))
totally agree. I have speak & spell and listened many times, you can hear they were young and "freshmen"
I take a bath once a week AND a shower every day !!! But Ilove you British people, Ican't help it !
Funny interview!
these guys are awesome hahaha cheers
Martin was drunk lol
Marts my favourite too!
Was Elton John in depeche mode?
Daniel Cambell No, he wasn't :)
@morrisondan definitley, but i do find Duran Duran's bass player John Taylor a quite good one, and i like a couple of tunes, but thats it, not in the same league as DM for sure
As much as i like Duran Duran, they are merely a singles band, while Depeche Mode have fantastic singles AND album tracks which could easily be singles.
hahahahahha "How clean is your horse?"
It took a while..but they were young too! But it's true, when Vince left they really became a proper band!I think they gave their best thinking they weren't' good enough..but they were wrong! ;)
that was very entertaining
Hilarious!!! Sooo funny! Well done!!!
4:47 it reminds me to Robert De Niro in the movie "Analyse this" when he says to the therapist "you....youuu!... you are very good you!"
That was FUNNY !! Great stuff .. :)
my god fletch is great...johnson baby powder ahahah...I love him!!!
Delirious when Dave talk about his encounter with Simon Le Bon
0:26 Criff Crisps? lol
Creative interview. Still fun to listen to. :)
I remember an article posted in a magazine many years ago(80's)describing Martin's teeth as "a wonky set of choppers". I hate to say it but I miss those choppers. I know Martin, I know, you had to do what you had to do. I just miss them, that's all :|
Great interview.
that's AMAZING! the drunk one specially ahahahah
Don't tell me, don't tell me............keep up the good work. Funny from a band who hasn't done anything creative for almost 20 years. Dave your the man but get Alan back in.
What was Martin Gore favourite song ? :), - Hm . I find it difficult to pick one myself, - they have composed countless good songs! . Only real competitor i can think of is Gary Numan, - but only logic since he is considered pioneer of commercial electronic music.
That is funny-they are cool, fair play
Is there any other version of this interview?

'You could go whiter than that? ... I'm almost blind here' :') Simon.

Martin cracked me up haha DM the BEST
David Gahan är grymt snygg. Det säger jag även fast jag är kille...
Great At all !!!
great interview... funny as hell
I do not want to live in a world were people refer to Simon Amstell as "The Interviewer"...
Alan would never have been able to do this interview! Lol. He would have walked out.
Awesome!!!!
Divertidos, pero no lo sufisiente. Son Cantantes Europeos, quiza es eso.( ? )
Me gustan, todavia,
Dave Gahan and Michael Stipe live on the same street? Who would have thought. :-)
I guess it depends how he said it. Could be considered as a bit "Ahh, interesting outfit. I see what you were trying to do there."
which is the favourite song of depeche mode? Dave : ..
WHAT DID HE SAID??
condemnation from songs of faith and devotion
yeah I knew it already :)
I heard him say Condom Nation
great stuff, thanks for posting!
It's patronising! 'Keep it up'? As if they were amateurs.
best interview ever LOLOLOL !!!!!!
I LOVE BRITS
martin yuo are ther best

wowww !! Is this true or is it joke . . ?
My friend is David Gahan!
