Depeche Mode

[mally]

I know they have some fans on the board...

I defy you not to dance to 'Personal Jesus'!

It can't be done, I swear. :o

[killer queen]

love them
love Personal Jesus...but I guess my fav song has to be "It's no good"... so incredibly good :)

[Brigitta]

still love 'master and servant' the most :D

[Sarah]

I love all I have heard. Dressed In Black. Mm.
& Personal Jesus, well. Haha. I daren't dance to it.

[Velouria]

They are excellent live, Dave Gahan gives a great performance. The last couple of albums have not been that great in my opinion, but everyone should give Music For the Masses and Violator a listen.

does any1 do? :LOL:

as for fans... when i placed their picture (very young) - NOBODY guessed.

they are class and now after band changed a style a little i like the last DM album thou, especially Breathe and The sweetest condition. btw, i visited Dave Gahan's gig last june.

[moodicow]

Saw Dave Gahan last year, was excellent !.

[Krasnojarsk]

Depeche Mode...ooooh yes! :)

[Half Life]

I'm old enough to remember their first single. *sigh* and Dave Gahan has the same birthday as me. :cool:

Yes, they are very fine. And have lots of very old fans (like me).

Violator is probably my favourite DM album.

Never seen them live :(

My favs are
Walking in my shoes& Barrel of a gun

[plastic passion]

Violator is my favorite album. I still have it on tape from the early 90's.
Halo is my favorite song of theirs.

I like Martin's voice more than Dave's. But Dave shakes his booty on stage.
Martin reminds me of an older version of Dom.

[moodicow]

Dave sure does shake his booty !.

[Mickey_Mouse]

My fave song is "Enjoy the silence" ...I've got a lot of funny memories from that time...hehehe :p

[scoffer elf]

I like Martin's voice more than Dave's. But Dave shakes his booty on stage.

2 my mind, their voices are similar, maybe, very similar even...

Martin reminds me of an older version of Dom.

:D but Dom is not leader of the band, this is the difference.

[moodicow]

Martin also reminds me of an older version of Dom, they looks so similar in some pictures, maybe they are distantally related !.

[plastic passion]

2 my mind, their voices are similar, maybe, very similar even...


Martin's voice is not as deep as Dave's. He (Martin) has a sweeter tone,
much more plesant.
I love Dave's voice too.

[Hayley]

Never heard of them *downloads*

[Sarah]

Never heard of them *downloads*

What did your parents listen to? O_o

[*glam*]

ABBA perhaps :D

[4Q Im Manx]

I know they have some fans on the board...

I defy you not to dance to 'Personal Jesus'!

It can't be done, I swear. :o

So i downloaded it after you telling me it was an upbeat sort of dancey song...It wasnt upbeat enough for me. It was quite brooding, a little dark. It was okay, but i wanted a reeaaaaallllllllly happy clappy foot stomping song. That wasnt. you failed me :(

[BeautifulOtherness]

Never heard of them *downloads*
hmm, i don;t know how i heard of them, i thought they were just a band everyone knew, like, err, duran duran or something..

Get 'Just Can't Get Enough' ;)

[killer queen]

^^now THAT'S a song you have to dnce to!!! :D

[devotionalee]

:eek: Wooo!!!!!!! :eek:
My depeche mode! Great to read it here :). Depeche mode are my little obsession since some years ago. I could talk hours & hours about this band. My room is full of their posters ;).
I saw them in 2001. Saw Gahan last year too. My favourite alb is Songs of faith and devotion. They have a great live and 100 brilliant songs at least :p. A great frontman with an amazing voice. Great lyrics, and a wonderful second voice. Great melodies, and best production. Maybe the most influential electronic band ever, and authors of the more acclaimed electronic alb: Violator. Not only an electronic band; always evolving. (too much? hehe; stop now).

>Songs everybody should know:
Just can't get enough -> poppy
Master & servant -> industrial masochism
A question of lust -> best ballad ever
A question of time -> techno (+,-)
Never let me down again -> amazing
Enjoy the silence -> the perfect song
I feel you -> rock! :cool:

If you like MUSE, you would like depeche for sure!

[moodicow]

<<<< From I Feel You, love that video.

You smell, Richard.

MwahaAHHA. I would disagree. :LOL:

[scoffer elf]

have read these messages and again certained that DM are more popular and famous abroad then in GB. 4example, in 2001 while Muse interview at russian MTV mr M.B. said he'd never heard this band - russian VJ was veeeery exited! :LOL: (p.s. after view video "Dream on" guys liked it).

[devotionalee]

That's not possible! He was joking for sure

[moodicow]

DM won a Q award last year think it was for most innovative band.

They were on TOTP 2 yesterday doing Just Can't Get Enough, from a TOTP appearance in 1981, they all looked so young!. Steve Wright said young Martin Gore looks like Mackenzie Crook !!!

*Flashback to 1981*

They looked so young, sweet and innocent...

[devotionalee]

Seriously; Dom is Martin Gore 20 years ago. I said it the first time I saw Dom. The only one difference is in their hair :LOL:

[muse_amuse_me]

:LOL: I thought the same, too! :LOL:

Mmm... DM... What can I say? It's been one of my favourite bands ever. And as you said before, Enjoy the Silence... the perfect song!

[plastic passion]

Seriously; Dom is Martin Gore 20 years ago. I said it the first time I saw Dom. The only one difference is in their hair :LOL:

Ok, so I'm not the only one!
I seen a few pics of Dom with curly hair and the resemblance was unreal.

[scoffer elf]

That's not possible! He was joking for sure

hmm... i don't think... they joked sometimes, yeah, but without catches. when they spoke about DM, were serious enough.

Ouch! It's hard to believe that a trio from UK making music (with more than 20 years each one) doesn't know DM. Well, then I have something they don't :p

[scoffer elf]

after russian MTV they have it 2 :p
but why "more than 20 years each one"? in 2001 they were 23-24. if they make music right from moment of birth then only babbling and gurgling? :D

Nah but I'd really like to find one

[moodicow]

I occasionally post to the DM forum, now and again, glad to see i'm not the only one who thinks Matin Gore looks like Dom

[devotionalee]

Nice boxsets; a bit expensive, but grrrreat.
I post on Dm board too (not the official; i'm in the one with rumours and hot news :LOL: ).
Today there are news; Fletch said in an interview with a fanclub that Martin has already got 6 demos, that the problems between members are solved, and Dave will write any songs for the album. Nice it's all running :)

[moodicow]

:D :D :D yes !!

[happiest girl]

oooh..i love dm!! :D


ehm..the last time i met dom i told him that he looks like martin..he laughed



[thanks devotionalee ;) ]

[devotionalee]

Ey happiest girl! welcome to this thread :) Many devotees here. Because us know what is good music (DM, MUSE,.... :D).
Yee, Dom = Mart :cool:

Btw, from www.depeche-mode.com: "Martin Gore has been involved in the new album from Client, and will be lending his voice to one of the album songs"

Look at this pic:

[Drunk muser]

me luvs depeche mode!!! esp violator!! and music for the masses!! and pretty much everythign they've done!!

[devotionalee]

Corbijn's videos are masterpieces. I can't imagine Enjoy the silence without the video now :)

[killer queen]

Enjoy the silence is one of the finest videos ever made

[muse_amuse_me]

Corbijn's videos are masterpieces. I can't imagine Enjoy the silence without the video now :)
Yes, they're fine, but I think they're a bit pretentious. For me, his best video is not one from DM, but U2's One video.

[devotionalee]

Yes, they're fine, but I think they're a bit pretentious. For me, his best video is not one from DM, but U2's One video.What of the three versions?? :p. I like all made by Anton Corbijn; my favourites are:
"A ? of time" (his first one; the babies are sooo nice... :))
"Strangelove" (makes me laugh!)
"Never let me down again" (I love the situation)
"Enjoy the silence" (you know...)
"I feel you" (woooaah! Martin playing the guitar while walking or the curtains going down... :rolleyes: Cool!)
"Walking in my shoes" (the best! yeah! I love it)
"In your room" (it's like a film; great concept and great images)
"Barrel of a gun" (what a great video!! drugs are not as bad :p)
"It's no good" (Dave would be a good actor :LOL: )
"Useless" (kick asses!)
(I have said almost all :LOL: )

Also:
U2- "One" (wonderful)
U2 - "Please" (Great!!)
Nirvana – "Heart Shaped Box" (typical Corbijn atmosphear)


I like Corbijn's videos and pictures! : www.corbijn.co.uk

[happiest girl]

my favourite dm videos are stripped, barrel of a gun and useless.

I hope you are joking about floria.. :mad:That two are funny too, but don't hurt me like Leave in silence :LOL: (hurt me because of too much laughing :)). When they are hurling the balls, and Dave gets upset :LOL: :LOL: They hate that video, or It's called a heart (Alan said that if he had could, wouldn't have left bed that morning :LOL: )
I don't know who Floria is :confused:

That song brings electricity to my brain :LOL: The orchestral end is gorgeous, and Martin's voice is incredible... "Ooooh giiiirl, leeead mee into your darknesss, when thiiis wooorldd is trying its hardest, to leave me unimpreeeeeeessssseed, just one careeeeeeeeeeeeeess, from you and i'm bleeeeeeeeeeeeeessssssseeeed" :rolleyes:

:LOL: :LOL:
Yes, it was the best thing he could do, haha. :LOL: Exactly! The best he did in DM was leaving them :). Please all; read the great Vince's lyrics for "What's your name?":

Sometimes watch you walk the street at midnight
Sometimes I can feel you in the air
Looking good
Knew you would
All the time I understood

Hey, you're such a pretty boy,
Hey, you're such a pretty boy,
Hey, you're such a pretty boy,
You're so pretty

Everybody seems to look your way now
(Everybody seems to look your way)
Everybody wants to know your name
(Hey, hey, what's your name)
Feeling right
Just tonight
Hear them say you're out of sight

All the boys we got to get together
All the boys together we can stand
We can go
Never know
All the things we need to show

Hey you're such a pretty boy (you're so pretty)
Hey you're such a pretty boy (you're so pretty)
Hey you're such a pretty boy
You're so pretty (p-r-e, double-t-y)

.................................................. ...........Gone for good.... :LOL:

Talking about the girls of JCGE, I was thinking now in the "woman" in red of OWILM :LOL:

Oh god... errrr... :LOL: Sounds so... gay! :LOL: Chochi, you know, devo...

[devotionalee]

Oh god... errrr... :LOL: Sounds so... gay! :LOL: Chochi, you know, devo...Is exactly the song i told you when we were talking about the chochi music :LOL: I think, that's not depeche mode. Viva the evolution! viva Martin Gore!! :D

[muse_amuse_me]

Is exactly the song i told you when we were talking about the chochi music :LOL: I think, that's not depeche mode. Viva the evolution! viva Martin Gore!! :D
Thank you Vince for leaving DM! I think I wouldn't have been able to listen to one more gay song like that! :LOL: Seriously, Martin's lyrics and music are much more interesting...

Mmm... talking about evolution and off chochi topic... On a board, a long time ago haha, there was a debate about how different DM became with Ultra, because of the guitar. There were a lot of people on that board who didn't like that, and I said "There have always been guitars in DM!" In fact, Martin writes the music with his guitar. I don't know why they say they can't use guitars; because they are supposed to be a techno band? Bah...

Bah...And that debate came up with Ultra?? :eek: I wonder what is the sound in i feel you, or in the whole SOFAD!!. DM always has used guitars. In fact, in *my* board, we counted the songs Martin performed live with guitar, and the tour with more guitar was the World violation. Incredible, but true. In violator there was guitar, although sampled. SOFAD was rocky, much more than Ultra. In Ultra the guitars were deeply beautiful. I love the end of "the love thieves" (amazing!), "home" or "useless" cause of that guitar. The best music for me is when a techno (electronic) band makes rock music. I recommend you: Mesh - "who watches over me?". Well, I recommend you SOFAD :LOL: that I know is not your favourite alb (mine of course :D)

[devotionalee]

Ouuaaaaaaaa!! I'm listening to enjoy the silence live, and I have to say this: I think that the guitar in the end of that song is the best guitar I've listened to *ever*. Each tour, Martin changes it, but always sounds grrrreat. If you listen to devotional version, you have the best; that's amazing!!!!
The peak moment of DM career; Devotional Tour :rolleyes: I wish come back to 1993 and stay then eternally :cool:

[Velouria]

The best music for me is when a techno (electronic) band makes rock music. I recommend you: Mesh - "who watches over me?".

Wow, someone else who like Mesh! I am a huge Mesh fan, in fact these days I prefer them to Depeche Mode. They are very good live.

[Drunk muser]

i ve seen them live too! after their set my ribs hurt coz of the bass!!
i don't like them that much tho, they copy DM toooo much i think. their keyboard guy even looks like DM.

[devotionalee]

Mesh started copying DM, like De/Vision, Melotron or OBK. Their first records are... :o. But their last two are very good.

If DM were not as lazy... :cool:

[Drunk muser]

If DM were not as lazy... :cool:

i guess youre right

i guess youre rightNew album and world tour the next year; 4 years after Exciter :)

[muse_amuse_me]

Well, I recommend you SOFAD :LOL: that I know is not your favourite alb (mine of course :D)
:p I told you I think SOFAD is a quite "irregular" album, though it has some of my favourite songs (In your room, Walking in my shoes, I feel you wowwwwwwwwww, Rush). My favourite albums are Violator and Ultra :p :D

SOFAD is the best DM album ever

[Drunk muser]

i'd go for violator, some real classics in there.

[devotionalee]

i'd go for violator, some real classics in there.The critic loves violator and takes it like a reference always for comparisons with electronic or synthpop new albums. It's a perfect album, yeh. The b-sides are great also!!! Dangerous, happiest girl (;)) or sea of sin, are amazing. I prefer My joy though :p

[devotionalee]

I have something for you all.... A french guy made a cd some months ago with piano versions of DM classics. You can hear the songs in all their nudity. I love the piano so I love this cd. One caress or Death's door are fantastic!!! Try them!!
Here it is: http://www.raphmode.net/piano.html

Enjoy the silence is perfect, but mine is Never let me down again; always shocks me.

I'm thinking about the lucky I am living in Madrid; we have a DM tribute bar ;)

I'm thinking about the lucky I am living in Madrid; we have a DM tribute bar ;)

:eek: Woah!

[devotionalee]

:eek: Woah!Yes!! it's the only tribute bar I know, and it's devoted to DM ;). Often they do parties and I have many promo material from them; singles, shirts, posters,... In that parties, they play DM for 5 hours.
And they do other parties; eg Placebo or the Cure related!!.

Lucky :rolleyes:

P.S.- Happy b-day Alan Wilder. I miss you!!!

I'm lucky too, because where I live there's a bar where a friend of mine also does dm parties with a lot of promo material :p And he plays DM for 7 hours! :p :LOL:

Oh, I also miss you, Alan!

[devotionalee]

I'm lucky too, because where I live there's a bar where a friend of mine also does dm parties with a lot of promo material :p And he plays DM for 7 hours! :p :LOL:DM is special then ;). 7 hours of only DM?? it's more than 5, yeeeaaaah. And the DJ is your friend!!?? hehehe. Lucky you too :).
I win that promo material because I drink too much :LOL:

If Alan was at DM yet... uff

[muse_amuse_me]

I win that promo material because I drink too much :LOL:
Oh, that rings a bell :rolleyes: I also win a lot of things because of that, and because my friends are usually the owners or the staff of the bars I go to, and they are very nice and they invite me to drink and give me a lot of things :LOL: T-shirts, belts, lighters, caps, all that sort of things...

Like a 101 T-shirt, various gahan's singles, various gahan's posters (this only in the last year ;)). One day we were 3, and won 8 presents :LOL: People looked bad :). One boy asked us how many litres of beer had drink :LOL:

Pssss... :rolleyes: Don't think it's always good to know the bar staff. For instance, last Saturday night I ended up terribly drunk because they invited me to drink too much. In just one bar they invited me to 3 Jamesons, apart from the one I was having. I thought I was gonna grow roots there! :LOL: (I don't know if this expression is right in English, sorry). And then I went to other 2 bars, and they invited me there as well. I don't know how much you're used to drinking, but for me that is a lot!

I don't get as much dm promo material as you because it's by drawing lots. You know, you get a ticket with a number and if you've got that number, the prize is yours! I'm not usually very lucky with those draws :( . But sometimes my dear friend gives me something, a single, or one of his compilations, blabla.

Oh, those Gahan posters will look good next to the vinyls you've got hanging on your walls :)

If you have all the tickets... is easy to win :)Oh, those Gahan posters will look good next to the vinyls you've got hanging on your walls :)I have one Gahan's in my room's door; if the door is open I don't see it. Yeah :)

[muse_amuse_me]

But that's cheating! :eek: :rolleyes: You're a bad boy...

The people at the Home Bar? Are you referring to that couple who I went to dm's gig with? The couple in the picture I showed you? Oh sorry, but I haven't seen them since that day (13 Oct 2001) :( I've seen other people I met that day, but not that couple. Ooooh, remembering... :'( I miss them all; I had so much fun that day... :'( And the gig was grrrrrrreat! :D

7 or 8? We were a full bus! :p :D Oh, the queue... one of the funniest moments in my life, haha. Especially I remember the moment when this friend of mine who does dm parties took his camera and put it inside the jeans, in his crotch, saying "Uuufff, mmmm, aaahh, yes!" :LOL: God, he can do anything to take pictures! :LOL:

I entered the camera in my pocket :confused:. He put his there for the backstage?? woo; maybe he enjoyed that, and put the "to take pictures" as excuses for doing it :LOL:
I took the worst pics I've ever seen; dark and darker :p. All the concert listening "that asss!!!" wooa :o

[muse_amuse_me]

Haha, not exactly a bus full of friends, I'll explain... We were a group of about 10 people, this couple included. We took a bus to Montjuic (is it written that way?), where dm played, and we realised the bus was full of people from where I live! :LOL:

And no, he didn't go into backstage; he just put his camera there in case he was searched. He wanted to take photographs of the gig. So don't think strange things :p :D .

Devo, my dear, we have to stop talking about our own things. This is a Depeche Mode thread!! :LOL:

He wanted to take photographs of the gig. So don't think strange things :p :D .Well, he could use his pockets like I did :LOL:

edited: Yes, we are talking about personal experiences; it's time to stop.

Today I read from that person this: "I hate the guitar riff in I feel you". I think I hate him now :LOL:. Well, not so, but I don't understand that; I love it!!!. SOFAD is underrrated; is as good as dangerous.

[muse_amuse_me]

No, I'm talking about the Barcelona gig; I didn't go to the Madrid one. It wasn't a bus from Madrid, it was one of the city buses (you know, public transport).

I think I hate that person, too :LOL:

[Drunk muser]

i want a DM tribute club in athens. NOW!! :'(

[Drunk muser]

I have something for you all.... A french guy made a cd some months ago with piano versions of DM classics. You can hear the songs in all their nudity. I love the piano so I love this cd. One caress or Death's door are fantastic!!! Try them!!
Here it is: http://www.raphmode.net/piano.html
'enjoy the silence' is beautiful

[devotionalee]

'enjoy the silence' is beautifulYeah! I like the whole cd; pretty good stuff. Some tracks are inspired in the Martin's mini-tour last year. It's a great tribute album. Enjoy the silence is always brilliant ;). I remember in the last tour that the crowd came crazy with that song (the 1st part of the setlist was slower, and ETS woke up all of us :))

[theimpressiveclergyman]

I always thought it was "Depreche Mode"- no idea why.
Probably because I don't think I ever heard anyone actually say it. I need to find some other associates...

Well, I didn't, until I asked my dad "Ever heard of Depreche Mode? (Pronounced de-pret-chay) and he blinked at me and said "You mean Depeche Mode." :o
People I hang around with. They never talk about my kind of music. And anything before 1999 is "old"... :rolleyes:

[devotionalee]

I think Depeche Mode is not a popular band nowadays; with their last record didn't have any airplay, and the videos were not on mtv the necessary; in adition, their discography don't do any type of promotion.
It's easy that people with less than 25 don't know of them. I feel lucky :D

Yes, the second option is definitely better, haha. For instance, I got my boyfriend to like Muse, even my mother likes them! :LOL: And, although I already liked DM when I met him, he got me to like them even more.

[devotionalee]

In home, my dad likes "dream on" a lot, my sister "only when i lose myself" and my mum "personal jesus".
I want an open-minded girlfriend to make her a devotee :). Or like in your case, an already devotee for grow up joint :p; Should be nice. If sharing with friends is great, sharing with a special friend... :rolleyes: Lucky you! I will go on making DM fans and Muse fans (made a pair two!), men though :LOL:

I also play it really loud, but more than once mum has said she likes how it sounds, so I keep on playing it loud! :LOL: Well, sometimes she's told me "You're gonna go crazy and deaf with that music and that volume!", and I tell her "Mum, please, you have to listen to this music at an appropriate volume, that is, loud!". She seems to understand it :LOL: I remember the day when she saw the 7.1 Home Cinema at the flat where my boyfriend and I are moving to, and she just said "Oh...my...god..." :LOL:

I hope I won't have any problem :rolleyes: :)

[devotionalee]

With that equipment, you have to buy the 101 SACD!! :).

Yesterday I finished downloading the last DM video I didn't have (see you). I've done a vcd called such that "some great videos 81>85 +". Funny videos :LOL:

[devotionalee]

Today I've seen a Gahan show on TV; the gig @ L'Olympia in Paris last july. The man is the best frontman ever; what a masses leader :).
Brought to my mind when I saw him live in november; amazing (although his album is crappy).

[muse_amuse_me]

With that equipment, you have to buy the 101 SACD!! :).
I think there's some kind of problem with the authoring of that sacd, so I won't buy it until all the copies are right, sorry.

Edit: I don't know if "authoring" is the word; maybe I'm mixing it up with dvds authoring; I'm sure you'll know much more than me about this 101 sacd :rolleyes:

[devotionalee]

I think there's some kind of problem with the authoring of that sacd, so I won't buy it until all the copies are right, sorry.Yep, the problem exists; e.g. in Mediamarkt you can always put it back if it's defective ;). It's a good way to proof components in the PC :LOL:. BTW, I think that the 101 SACD has to be difficult to find in Spain :rolleyes:

[devotionalee]

In general, it's difficult to find any sacd in Spain. But you can always order it and wait a few days...Ummm, ordering... I wish I could order things; well, I don't know if I can :p. I want several things though!

[devotionalee]

I saw today the video for "it's called a heart"; is really embarrasing :o.

I'm starting to think that next year we'll have DM back with a new album and a new world tour. Can't wait :D. This time I hope to see them at least two times. And hope the album will be better than exciter (when that was released, spanish fans registered an url such that "www.excitercaca.com" :LOL: ). Yesterday I listened to the Exciter singles and thought.. "I feel loved was great, Freelove was good, Dirt is cool... I won't listen to the entire album since I don't enjoy it anymore". Maybe with the years.... My problem is that I deeply dislike "When the body speaks", "Lovetheme" or "Goodnight lovers"; and in my opinion the production was a shame :o. An average album being a DM album.... The tour was great though :D

[muse_amuse_me]

Oh, another one that hates Exciter... I love it! I didn't know that url, devo, but I think I wouldn't like it if it was about "how shitty Exciter is", sorry. You don't like When the body speaks? God, it's beauuuuutiful! I really like it. And I know you and me have spoken about this already, but I repeat, I think the production is just great. You should listen to it in my flat, with my wonderful sound equipment! :p :D .

I've just listened to an Exciter remix I love: Easy Tiger (Bertrand Burgalat & A.S. Dragon Version). It has nothing to do with the original; it's great, that wah wah sound, haha.

[devotionalee]

I don't hate Exciter, but I think it is the worst DM album in 17 years; that's a lot :D. There are songs that I love; like the brilliant Sweetest condition, or the great and amazing I feel loved (it shocked me the first time I listened to on the radio). There are others that I really like: the beautiful Shine, the strong Dead of night, or the nice Breathe and I am you. I like Comatose too (reminds me to the Black Celebration era :rolleyes: ). Easy tiger is nice too. But I have some problems with Exciter:
I don't like the version of Dream On in the album. Or simply, I like the single version a lot more.
When the body speaks is a failed attempt to do a nice ballad. It's boring and doesn't hooks.
I think Lovetheme is a shit, and shouldn't be on Exciter.
Freelove is an incomplete song; the lyrics are good, the melody is good, but its slow going and the poor production left it as a failed one.
Goodnight lovers is... awful :o. The first 3 times you like it; but then the 4th time, and you are only bored by it :p.

The production is not only about the sound of the cd; Exciter is nice sounding in general (although you can listen to an annoying noise always behind :mad: ). But there is no sensation of ambient or continuity in the songs. Only a few sound like homogenic ones; the others seem to remixes, not finished lp versions. Let's compare Exciter production with Ultra one; Exciter's is crappy (if we compare with Alan's job... Exciter's is awful :D).

Well, Exciter is a lost oportunity (poor if U compare with any DM record). Btw, the lyrics are bad, and Martin's voice is not as present as before.

And yeah, that "remix" of Easy Tiger is cool. I like the I feel loved extended mix :)

I love how enthusiastic you are with the things you like, devo! See? You don't hate Exciter that much :D

I'm going to bed. Good night... Dream on... Kiss Kiss :)

[devotionalee]

See? You don't hate Exciter that much :DI don't hate it; simply I don't listen to it because is boring. I always catch other; e.g. right now I have in my player the condemnation single (underrated song). When I put Exciter on, is to listen half cd only. Comparisons can be so cruel... :rolleyes:. I hope the next to be stronger than that slow-minimalist-average Exciter (excites what?? :LOL: )

[muse_amuse_me]

Exciter (excites what?? :LOL: )
Your imagination? Haha, a quite uplifting title, isn't it? :LOL: (I think that was the word Dave used to define it). Uplifts what? :LOL:

Arggg, have you seen how many songs have the word love in their title??: lovetheme, freelove, i feel loved, goodnight lovers (4!! and 2 of them were singles!!). Martin had a bad year :LOL:. Where is the sex, the religion or the drugs?? I miss that.

Ummm, I love the final guitar on Enjoy the silence live in devotional... you must check it ;). And it's Martin's!!!! hahaha

[Molkette]

Love them! Great on stage! Seen them 3 times! Last tour better than the previous one where Dave looked very tired.
Fond of "Never let me down again", "Stripped", "It doesn't matter two", "Waiting for the night", "One caress", "Sister of night"... Hope they will work together again!
Fave albums would have to be "Violator" & "Songs of faith".
True that Dom looks a bit like Martin, but he's better looking than young Martin! :D

It doesn't matter two!! woooaah, I love that song; and One caress!! uoooo :D. My fav is Never let me down again because of the live version, the split mix, the single mix... is perfect; the final hits me everytime; I love it :). I see you like the ballads a lot!!
3 times live?? you are a lucky person!! I saw them only one time, in 2001.
News for you: they'll enter in a studio after the summer to record the new album :D

Thanx for welcoming me Devotionalee! ;)
Yeah I like ballads a lot: I forgot to mention "Only when I lose myself" last time! ;)
But I also enjoy listening to "I feel loved", "Enjoy the silence" of course...

My best friend (who's a total DM addict) talked me into going to their show in 1998. I was a bit sorry and disappointed to see Dave so tired compared to what I had seen of him on the Songs of Faith & Devotion tour. :(
But then we went to both shows in 2001 (the ones on their DVD!) and I was very glad to see him in such good shape again! :D
"Never let me down" is definitely one of my favourites: every time I see it live with the crowd waving theirs arms, tears come up my eyes and I have the goose spots! :LOL: Is my English terrible? I feel like I'm speaking it so badly... :LOL:
Anyway... I'm glad to hear that they're going back to the studio soon! That means new album therefore new tour... Yay! :D

[devotionalee]

Wooo molkette, "i feel loved"!! the best on exciter, yeah :). I appreciate Martin ballads a lot (I don't like the ballads on exciter though), that's the main reason for loving Black celebration as much as I do :).
You saw them on devotional tour?? You are a lucky person. I'm not! That's probably the peak of DM.
Wooah! and Paris both nights!! Can we see you in dvd?? hehee. I saw them 4 days after that. Never let me down is always so shocking... :cool:
Not as bad english ;)

Question for all: do you have songs of faith and devotion on cd? have you seen the secret picture? :D. Under the cd's site, you can find this: http://img15.imageshack.us/img15/8660/sofad_in.jpg :LOL:

Martin's got an amazing voice! :) I have this boot where he sings "Surrender" in the piano bar of an hotel and it's "mwah" incredible!

I didn't see them on their Devotional tour, I just watched it on TV! :p
I think it's their best tour ever! My best friend went to the Brussels gig of that tour and really became addicted after that! Also maybe because Alan smiled at her, so she says!... ;)

You can't see me on the DVD, but you can see my cousin and his girlfriend! :LOL: I was too far on the first night and too high on the second one! :LOL: Anyway it's for the best cause it would be so embarrassing !... ;)

I discovered that picture on the sleeve of SOF not so long ago! I bet a lot of people have never seen it: you have to pay really good attention to mention it!

[muse_amuse_me]

My friend, the one who does dm parties, was at that Paris gig, the one on the dvd, and of course you can't see him, but you can see his big banner "Devotion" (his fanclub) at the end of Never Let Me Down, on the left, very near the stage, haha. Three days later I was with him at Barcelona gig; it was great! :D

[devotionalee]

The whole world was at Paris Bercy?? :LOL:

Molkette, I don't have that boot!!! I can't believe it :p. I have the 3 piano sessions in Hannover, Munich and Cologne (97, 98). But nothing about surrender... what boot is it!?? aawww. Surrender on the extras of One night in Paris is cool :D.

This year we'll have Devotional dvd!! The best we can see? Sure!!

Yeh, I think he's even more freak than you :LOL: I don't know exactly how many times he's seen them live, but they're maaaaaany! You could say he "follows" them across Europe, haha.What does mean "follows" exactly?? hehe. I "know" of some people that followed Dave's solo tour indeed. Well, the closer I know is the brother of a spanish girl (I chatted with her a lot on irc) that did the whole USA Exciter tour :eek:

[muse_amuse_me]

It means he goes to most European gigs. That's the way he spends his holidays, going to dm gigs, haha. But I think he's not doing the same with Dave...

The whole USA tour?? Wow...

[devotionalee]

It means he goes to most European gigs. That's the way he spends his holidays, going to dm gigs, haha. But I think he's not doing the same with Dave...And he is not in any DM forum?? He should have a nick :p. Btw... on what DM forum did you write? (I can remember you told that you discussed about Ultra when it came out).

[muse_amuse_me]

I don't know; I suppose he's on some dm board, but I can't tell you. Ok, I'll ask him next time I see him (this saturday, haha).

Do you remember Audiogalaxy? Well, I used to post there a lot, on the dm board, but when it was closed most of the boardies were moved to an msn community that a girl created. Sorry but I don't know if that community still works (it's a very long time since I don't go there). I don't think so. And I don't remember the url, sorry. Also I joined the official messageboard, but I think I never posted there; I was a bit bored of dm at that moment, sorry. I don't even remember my nick! :LOL:

[devotionalee]

Hahaha, your memory is great!! haha. Well, I don't remember some nicks from some sites or accounts :p. I'm on the unofficial board, the best board. In the official you don't receive the info cause nothing is said until is confirmed. But in the other one, the moderators are not paid by DM, so... :D. You know which is my nick ;). And doesn't matter you don't remember; only I was curious about :)

dm in Barcelona 13-10-01: http://depeche.dreamhost.com/pix/Barcelona2001_1.jpeg I'm very surprised; I found that pic in a web I random-clicked, and... the author is a friend of mine from the DM board!! haha. One week ago he offered me a dvd with various shows (not only DM) recorded by himself! :LOL: Woaaah, I have to say it to him! heheh.

[devotionalee]

Hhaha, I've found what I was looking for (after 1 hour!)

Dave Gahan:

dm in Barcelona 13-10-01: http://depeche.dreamhost.com/pix/Barcelona2001_1.jpeg
I was theeeeeeeeeere! So close to the stage... Oh god, remembering... :'( I enjoyed it so much... Thanks, thanks, thanks :)

Yeh, I seem to have a memory problem :LOL:

Edit: oh, that pic of Dave... Look at those ears! So sharp. He looks like an elf! :LOL:

[devotionalee]

I was theeeeeeeeeere! So close to the stage... Oh god, remembering... :'( I enjoyed it so much... Thanks, thanks, thanks :)I have that concert too. If you want it, I'll give to you in the Xacobeo :).oh, that pic of Dave... Look at those ears! So sharp. He looks like an elf! :LOL:hehehe, that's the only reason I believe is Dave in that pic :LOL:.

[muse_amuse_me]

I have that concert too. If you want it, I'll give to you in the Xacobeo :)
Oh, would you do that for me? You're so nice... Thank you :) I love uuuuuuu... Kiss kiss :D

Yeeeeeeeesssss! Xacobeo! July 16! Muuuuuuuuuse!!!!! :D

[devotionalee]

Oh, would you do that for me? You're so nice... Thank you :) I love uuuuuuu... Kiss kiss :D

Yeeeeeeeesssss! Xacobeo! July 16! Muuuuuuuuuse!!!!! :DWell, it's not the best audio of exciter tour, but if you want it you'll have it :). I have the list with all my boots in my web. We are talking on july through msn :p.

Miuuuuussssssssss, the cuuuree, miuuuuuuuuuussssss :D

[Molkette]

Well I don't know where that was recorded, but I got it from a Belgian radio (Radio21).
I should listen to it again and see if I can get more details so that I'll let you know! ;)

I didn't know about the Devotional DVD! Aces! I know what I'm going to offer my best friend for her birthday! :D

Yeah some fans are really insatiable. I have this friend of mine who's mad about U2 and did 11 gigs on one tour! He even went to NY especially! :eek:

If I had the money, I think I would do it too! As far as I'm concerned I went to 13 gigs of Muse but over 3 years! :p I wish I could go to the States and follow them in those little clubs... :rolleyes: That'd be nice!

[devotionalee]

Well I don't know where that was recorded, but I got it from a Belgian radio (Radio21).
I should listen to it again and see if I can get more details so that I'll let you know! ;) Yes please! I'm intrigued now. I think that what you have could be a concert of the Gore's mini-tour last year (he did various acoustic DM versions).If I had the money, I think I would do it too! As far as I'm concerned I went to 13 gigs of Muse but over 3 years! :p I wish I could go to the States and follow them in those little clubs... :rolleyes: That'd be nice!Woooah!! 13 gigs in 3 years are a lot! I'll see them on july for the second time in 4 months. And I'm starting to save up for a future DM tour (at least to see them 2 times :p)

[PlugMeInBaby]

aww I love DM!!
my fav song is Freelove ( I like the lyrics very much) :D

[devotionalee]

my fav song is Freelove ( I like the lyrics very much) :DLyrics are good. Song is inacabated. I HATE the video.

Welcome to this thread :D. Did you begin with Exciter??

[Molkette]

I feel so embarrassed now... :confused: I listened to my tape earlier and it's not "Surrender" that was recorded during a piano bar session of Martin's, but "Cry in the chapel". It was recorded in Koln in 97. "Surrender" was just an extract from a regular gig in LA in 2001... Sorry again!... :rolleyes:

I have that session; Martin with a piano and a ton of beers can be dangerous :LOL:; I enjoy it! I have 3 of them, and are really cool!!
Btw, DM is releasing a remixes cd this autumn (Linkin park, Goldfrapp,... ).

P.S.- I have that L.A. gig too :p. Sounds great!

[Molkette]

My best friend's gonna follow them on their next tour! I guess she's gonna travel through Europe :LOL: She's afraid it's gonna be their last one so she doesn't wanna miss a thing!
Where did (will) you see them?

[devotionalee]

My best friend's gonna follow them on their next tour! I guess she's gonna travel through Europe :LOL: She's afraid it's gonna be their last one so she doesn't wanna miss a thing!
Where did (will) you see them?Will you go with her?? :). Yes, seems like is their last one! I'll see them in Spain (2 or 3 gigs I hope). One guy who I talk to, is going through Europe too, and said me to go with him :rolleyes:. I won't go, but it would be cool.
Where are you from??

[Molkette]

Maybe on a few dates, it will depend on the money I'll have then! :D

You should go with your friend! If it's really their last tour, you might regret not going!

I'm from France, Lille to be more specific: it's located right in the northest part of France, so I'll probably go to Paris, and maybe Belgium and London if I have enough money... :rolleyes: It gets really expensive when you have to pay for tickets, hotels, transports...

I've seen Muse 13 times and Placebo 15 throughout Europe, so I know it costs a lot of money! I've spent so much on that... But I don't regret it, it's just you have to have the money to do it! :LOL:

I live in Madrid, so the closest gig in other country could be... Paris?? it's not very near :p. I'll try to attend all the spanish concerts then. Money for a student is something difficult to obtain for that kind of adult stuff :). I'm going to Santiago and you can't imagine the effort it costs for me :LOL:.

Lille?? Devotional was partially filmed there :D. The first gig of Devotional Tour it was.

Placebo 15 too?? :eek: haha

[moodicow]

I am currently addicted to I Feel Loved, one of the few good songs off Exciter.

[devotionalee]

I have bought the 101 DVD this afternoon!! doesn't bring the whole concert, but on the other hand, the sound is spectacular; remastered, 5.1. Amazing!!!!!!!!!!! yeeeeeeee!!!! I've enjoyed it like the first time... or maybe more indeed!! Woooaah, it seems like Martin is singing the vocals in your home!! :D

[Molkette]

I haven't bought the DVD cause I have it on VHS but the documentary is really good! :D

[devotionalee]

I haven't bought the DVD cause I have it on VHS but the documentary is really good! :DI have it on VHS too. But since I don't have player anymore, I have bought the dvd (well, the extras helped me to go for it). Sound is gorgeous!!

[muse_amuse_me]

I'm going to Santiago and you can't imagine the effort it costs for me :LOL:.
And for me! :LOL: But finally we could find a cheap hotel (well, normal price) that seems to be quite nice and near the venue, and most of us spanish boardies will be together in the same hotel, and that's priceless! So don't complain! :LOL: I'll meet you there this thursday! And Friday Muuuuuuse!!!! :D I can't wait!!!.......

Tomorrow we're travelling to the next MUSE's concert!! yeeeeeeeeee :D. 6 or 7 boardies together for 3 days :)

[devotionalee]

It's official; on september, Depeche Mode will release their (in my opinion) best work ever: "Devotional". The gorgeous setlist and the amazing perfomance probably make Devotional the peak of DM's career. 2 remastered DVD with new material... :happy:

Woah.

Plus their projections for that tour were rockin'.

[muse_amuse_me]

P.S.- What a wonderful weekend seeing Muse and the Cure with some boardies :D (and having reeeeal fun!). Cheers muse_amuse_me!!
Cheers devo! :D Yep, it was a wonderful weekend. I'll have a lasting memory of it :) .

You're so funny! :LOL: Oh, and meeting The Dying Atheist and Evori too, of course :D .

Ah, I've listened to the cd you gave me in Santiago this morning again. Wow, all those dm gigs! It's great, thank you thank you thank you very much! I love you :D .

Mmm... Devotional dvd... great news, yep.

I say such pretty things because you're worth it! :LOL: But my presents were nothing compared to yours :( Well, you can put cds of all those millions of DM things that you must have into that box, hahah. And a little money in that wallet haha. The cd box is nice, isn't it? :happy:

Fer loves you too :D .

[Neil]

I seriously love depeche mode, I find it hard to dislike anything they've done...even Exciter :D

[devotionalee]

I seriously love depeche mode, I find it hard to dislike anything they've done...even Exciter :DWooaah, you are a fan! haha, I can't listen to Exciter since I think it's their weakest alb ever. Comparisons are bad :pI say such pretty things because you're worth it! But my presents were nothing compared to yours Well, you can put cds of all those millions of DM things that you must have into that box, hahah. And a little money in that wallet haha.

NEWS!!

http://remixes8104.depechemode.com/

A "new" remixes album (3 CD) and Enjoy the Silence as single!! wooah.

[moodicow]

Martin was DJ ing in London tonight in Notting Hill , I couldn't go but badly wanted to !!!

[devotionalee]

Martin was DJ ing in London tonight in Notting Hill , I couldn't go but badly wanted to !!!Woooah, I didn't know it. I just came back from holidays and I'm a bit disconnected. Sure it was cool :cool:.
Maybe they're starting the studio sessions in october. So new album in one year and new world tour :happy:. And is rumoured that Halo would be 2nd single of the new remixes album if the 1st charts well. I loooooooooove Halo :rolleyes:

[devotionalee]

The artwork for the new "remixes 81-04" has been revealed:
http://remixes8104.depechemode.com/front_cover_400.jpg

Some devotional wallpapers:
http://devotional.depechemode.com/wallpaper/index.html
(I have put the 2nd one; aren't great?)

[Molkette]

Umpf, I hate remixes... :indiffere Luckily enough the Devotional DVD is gonna be GREAT! :p

[devotionalee]

Umpf, I hate remixes... :indiffere Luckily enough the Devotional DVD is gonna be GREAT! :pI hate new remixes. But the old school DM mixes are greeeat. If you don't have any single, I recommend you this cd. Remixes like the Split one for NLMDA or Beatmasters' for Behind the wheel are shocking ;). Give a chance to them :). Btw, I have them all (from boxsets) except the ones in bonus cd: Linkin Park, Goldfrapp, Timo Maas,... let's see how it is.

And yes!! I'm waiting for Devotional like it was the last release. For me, it's the peak point of dm career; the greatest show in the history of music... waaaaaaa, can't wait :D :D

[devotionalee]

Well devotees... you know in a few weeks we'll have Enjoy the silence on the radio. Linkin Park's or Timo Maas' version.

But MM is releasing a compilation... with a cover of Personal Jesus as first single :happy:. We'll have 2 covers on the radio at the same time :D

Wanna hear MM's version?? is here (http://www.new-model.com/).
Do you like it?

[Drunk muser]

hmm im currently downloading personal jesus but i dont think its gonna be good. oh wel i have to wait and see, but nothing can beat the original.
i love the vid to personal jesus too :D

[devotionalee]

Now I have the MM's single... With good quality, I can say that it's good, though remains too much true to the original. The guitar is the same indeed.
It'll be a hit... good promotion for DM :D

Ey Sober, you've changed your look a lot :cool:

[muse_amuse_me]

I've downloaded it, too. Yep, good :D .

[Claire]

:stunned:

The music is okay, but MM's voice...is just wrong..No no no.

Mind you, I suppose Rammstein's version of Stripped wasn't exactly like good ol' Dave...

[devotionalee]

MM's voice is always awful :D

[devotionalee]

Go for it!! come on!! :)
I saw it yesterday! Great, yep. But the extras... a bit poor, don't you think? The videos are in The Singles 86>98 dvd... Well, it's ok if you don't have that dvd. I like the live projections; they look beauuutiful on my desktop :D .

I have to tell you again... you're so enthusiastic! :) .

Edit: just a technical note: it's not 16:9 anamorphic, as the official site says, I think.

[devotionalee]

The extras are incredible!!! Projections here, is something really cooool. I loooooove ifeelyou's :cool:. Great sig!!

3h30' and I have seen only 50' :D. I want 90' to see the entire show!!

I don't like 16:9 :p

[burntoutdeadstar]

Depeche Mode= awesome

[devotionalee]

Depeche Mode= awesomeyou=right :D

I've seen today the rockumentary from the dvd and the talking with corbijn. I have that documentary from 2001 on vhs... so :rolleyes:. I like it; they say really interesting things. Mwhahaha, I can't understand Dave!! subtitles all the time :LOL:. Corbijn is great; he worked a lot on the stage design. And the results are there, woooooow :D

Oh!! do you remember that piano tribute??? the boy who did it has made a 2nd version with a real grand piano: http://www.raphmode.net/piano.html

And... about the new remixes album, I've got 4 or 5 remixes; enjoy the silence remixes are good, but goldfrapp's halo SUCKS!

[muse_amuse_me]

Projections here, is something really cooool. I loooooove ifeelyou's . Great sig!! :cool:
Thanks :happy: .

I don't like 16:9 :p

P.S.- muse_amuse_me, you have changed your... undername?? :D

[mattadore]

Count Me In. Depeche Mode are quality. I discovered them at the age of 10 which was 20 years ago. Violator remains my favourite album, hence the decision to have the violator rose tattoo on my arm. Muse have been the only other band to have a huge impact on my life and me and my mates who all liked Depeche now all love MUSE, and strangely think Dom is a young Martin. ;)

[devotionalee]

I made this avatar instead of a tattoo :LOL:

If you want to see it, we talked about that resemblance pages before :D.

I'm a sofad devotee over all

[klothkat]

Today I bought Violator on CD. I used to have cassette but that got chewed a while ago. It's been lovely hearing all those songs again! :)

[devotionalee]

Today I bought Violator on CD. I used to have cassette but that got chewed a while ago. It's been lovely hearing all those songs again! :)*Thinking that one year ago I bought the vinyl* :LOL:. It's the cd that I play more often lately. Maybe because of the new cover of PJ and the remix of ETS. Or maybe because of Sweetest perfection & Halo. I don't know, but there it is :D

[muse_amuse_me]

My boyfriend bought the Remixes yesterday. Good :D . But... what has Goldfrapp done with Halo??? Sacrilege!!!!!! It's always been one of my favourite ones. And Are people people? It's eerrr... strange... god, it just sucks!

[Sarah]

I thought that was a good remix. Shinoda's attempt on Enjoy The Silence is terrible. He's managed to make it sound like a Linkin Park single.

[devotionalee]

muse_amuse_me, i'm with you. Halo is embarrasing, and Are people people... WTF!?? (and it was in the japanese boxsets also!! shame).

But I think... well... I like Shinoda's Enjoy the silence :p. Nothing to do against the original, but nice. The end is good... maybe because of the video :). LP sucks :LOL:

Ewan Pearson's is better though.

The ETS single has reached #7 in UK. Incredible. The original was #6.

[muse_amuse_me]

Shinoda's attempt on Enjoy The Silence is terrible. He's managed to make it sound like a Linkin Park single.
Hahaha, well, I think it's not that terrible, but yep, it sounds very Linkin Park. I was expecting "crawling in my skiiiiiiiin..." while listening to it the first time :LOL: .

[devotionalee]

Huas, LP fans like Enjoy the silence a lot :D

In this release, the old remixes are great (not all), but the new ones... some brilliant, some suck too much;e.g. NLMDA - split mix, and BTW - Beatmasters, are amazing :)

I want the xtras on the secret site!!

P.S.- Huaaaaaasss XD

[muse_amuse_me]

P.S.- Huaaaaaasss XD
:LOL: :LOL: You've just made my day!

Hmm, which is your favourite new/old one, apart from Beatmasters', which I already know you love?

[muse_amuse_me]

I've just listened to Freelove - Dj Muggs remix, which I already knew, and there's something strange in it... as if the bass had nothing to do with the rest of the song or the singing... strange...

[moodicow]

On first listen I am not too keen on the LP remix of ETS too much standard 'plinky plinky' LP piano over everything !

[LittleMUSEalieN]

I dont know DP too well but.. enjoy the silence :'( love this song!!! :happy:

[devotionalee]

Yeeah, knowing the original from DM, the new mixes are a bit... well, not as good; Enjoy the silence for me is the perfect song; it's hard to remix something like this.

About the freelove mix... I'm not the best to give my opinion; I don't like the original too much, so... the remix does not say anything to me.

About my favourites ont the 3cd album...

OLD:
Never Let Me Down Again - Split Mix -> the best thing ever. Remixed by themselves.

NEW:
maybe... Nothing - Headcleanr Rock Mix -> really catchy. Or Lie to me by LFO; great sound (incredible if you know that LFO = Mark Bell <- Exciter productor :p).

I'm buying it soon although I have got all the songs from the singles boxsets. Then I'll give my opinion about remixes from Violator and SOFAD (I don't know exactly what remixes are in this album :D ).

It's your time :P

Good taste :).

We coincide with MUSE too, do you remember? :D

About the album... I've seen it today... it's a bit stupid; 3 different editions: 1cd, 2cd, 3cd. I don't understand it.

And about the secret site accessible buying the 3cd edition... only one word: FUCK! (the greatest shit ever... they liars!! no rare downloads and NO samples! Fuck them! I think I won't buy the album; I have it all.

[muse_amuse_me]

You didn't want to write so much, eh... :LOL:
What for? I needn't write more if you've said the ones I like, hahaha.

Good taste :).
Thanks :happy: . Yours too.

Yep :happy: . We seem to like the same things, haha.

I have to see that site with more attention, but yes, it's a bit... shit!

I have listened to Depeche Mode all my life, as my Dad is a big fan of theirs.
I love them, Violator is genius (I think thats the album I'm thinking of), one of my favourite albums of all time
