Excuse me while I clean up a puddle .... ;)

Gahan's solo stuff is much better, to my ears, than Gore's which feels wrong but true.

I've had Black Celebration stuck in my head for nearly a week.

I've seen them twice but on the most recent tours. The first gig for Playing the Angel was amazing. No support act and played for nearly three hours straight and still left songs that I wanted to hear out. I tingle just thinking about it. The last time, there were a lot of health issues going on with Gahan and the show got postponed a few times but eventually he did a great show. At that gig, it is Gore's performance of A Question of Lust that was unforgettable. There is a clip of it on Youtube somewhere but you really had to be there.

Erasure were fun live and I saw them in Oakland. I texted somebody and said that I was watching one of gayest bands in one of the gayest towns and it was fantastic. So many guys there were off their heads on one substance or another and just looking to have a great time and made sure that they did.

holy fucking shit, nizter ebb

yesssssssssss, dang those guys kikced massive asse!

I guess this is as good a place as any to share this one. A few of us have been having fun with them on Facebook this week.

This guy has to be in the running for coolest dad ever.

Oh god - If I could turn back time....

:pimp

They opened for DM when I saw them on the last tour in London.

No need to bring Cher into it...

If there was ever a thread that Cher belonged in it was this one....

Check out this live video of Depeche Mode video playing on LiveAtLetterman earlier this month (the vid is 47 mins long, featuring 1:16 Angel 5:31 Should Be Higher 10:49 Walking In My Shoes 17:21 Barrel of a Gun 23:06 Heaven 26:42 Personal Jesus 32:02 Soft Touch / Raw Nerve 35:36 Soothe My Soul 41:34 Enjoy the Silence):



The new music sounds great! :thumbsup

One of my favorite live bands. I always leave in a state of bliss. Definitely going to try to catch DM again on their upcoming tour... :GFYBand

:stoned

ADG

I watched it that night and it was fantastic. They get fully in their stride with Walking In My Shoes which was just perfect.

I just finished the album and it left me willing to have Gahan's babies. Which, is usually a good sign.

do ittttttt

we know the truth :pimp

50 RETURNS

Nice! Love Depeche Mode's music. I saw them at the Montreal Forum a long time ago and they were much better than I expected (and I was already expecting alot). Had no idea they had more music on the way. Thanks for sharing!

The sexiest guy that ever lived -



Aly Campell - OMG....

so wrong :1orglaugh:1orglaugh

Really? I have never heard anybody say that before.

Scholar and a Gentleman tho, i had to jump through some hoops for my haymaker 'she's gotta laugh' pic

You did well :)

You didn't fall in love with Aly?

He is/was god...

His brother was cute as well.

No, I didn't but I didn't mean it in a bad way. I'm glad when people have a thing for people that aren't the normal ones that everybody is 'suppose' to like.

new order still means a lot to me too

I can not get tickets to see them. I try every time I see them come to a town I am in and they always sell out right away.

They are doing a gig in Santa Barbara soon with Johnny Marr. I so wish I could be at that.

johnny marr eh, sounds like a show. isn't he also working with danny elfman these days scoring movie films?

oingo boingo

Summers and Marr worked together with Tennant from Pet Shop Boys for the Electronic project which gave us this song. I fully admit to loving it.



I've heard mixed reviews of Marr's latest album but I haven't listened to it fully.

ima have to listen to this on a better system, on my laptop and the speaks suck but the original is a fav


i remember when johnny marr turned the guitar world on its ear when the smiths 1st came out, he was on the cover of guitar mag, etc.

it was hans zimmer johnny marr collaborated with, for the film "inception"

nominated for an academy award

And they lost to Trent Reznor ...our generation is taking its place :)

Violator is to me the culmination of their career and one of my favorites albums ever, even though you can find some good tracks on Exciter, a pretty good record (thanks to the producer Mark Bell, I guess).

For years and on. Several concerts over the years.

Thanks for all the awesome links :)

So scary how young they look. I almost feel dirty for thinking any of them became attractive when I look at the pics where they look like babies.

I fully admit to being sad and having put together a Spotify playlist recently:

Covering 33 years of Depeche Mode - 33 different Depeche Mode songs covered by 33 different artists. There's Johnny Cash, The Cure, Smashing Pumpkins and a lot more on there.

you'll dance to anything by de pec commode

better sums up where I was at during this period. But this thread does bring back good memories.

I'm pretty sure memories is mostly what music is about one way or another.

I only remember Depeche Mode cause 1 friend of mine liked it and played it all day.
And he was always very depressing. So i guess most fans killed themselves.

hugs!

rock.

Hey, at least Trent still pays homage to his precursors. Here's Trent, Jeordie White and Peter Murphy doing a cover of The Normal's Warm Leatherette. Man that takes me back.

policy of truth is my fave.

Neva agin is what you swo that time beforrrrrrrr!

He was playing in the band the cribs for the past couple of years. I've heard rumors that he will be going Noel Gallaghers new band.
