I'm really shocked they don't have a thread here. They're such an influential band to soo many...so show them some love!
:)
What's your favorite albums,songs and artwork?
to quote Orgazmo, "i don't mean to sound like a queer or nothing, but i think depeche mode kicks ass"
but yeah Violator is probably my favorite album of theirs
yeah violator definitley my fav. and the halo is my fav track on there. havnt heard gahans new shit though.
Oh you should DEFINITELY listen to Hourglass! It's an amazing album,really.
"Clean" is their best song. Classic band, "Playing the Angel" proved they're just as relevant today as they were in the '80s.
As far as favorite songs...I think I'd have to choose Behind The Wheel. But I love all their music.
AND!!!
Rumors that are noteworthy:
- It is expected that tour dates will be announced October 6th. At present time we don't know if the band will hold a press conference.
- Tickets are expected to go on sale in October as well. This was hinted on Marek Lieberberg's website (the German tour promoter). Last time tickets for some shows went on sale on the same day they were announced.
- Tour is expected to start in May of 2009. According to DM.de, Marek Lieberberg has said that it will start in Israel.
- According to people familiar with the process, it is expected that the initial leg(s) of the tour will be open air shows, with an indoor tour following later in the year.
-September 9th the band are gathering at an undisclosed location as work continues on their new album, to be released in April/May of next year! This will be the third recording session so far!
is it dave or martin that write the majority of the lyrics?
about the tour...
the rumor is that..they are coming to Portugal in July, in a open air festival. So...rumor, rumor...maybe it will be real!
Lucky You!!! they BETTER come here godammit!

Martin wrote all the lyrics until the last album. Then, dave started contributing with 3 songs for playing the angel. From what I have been reading in intervirews, I guess this will be a dave lyrics friendly record. Which I don't think that's necessarily good, since martin's write style is so unique.
Fav album: Ultra. It's just a perfect album. I can listen to it when I'm happy, when i'm frustrated, in every situacion imaginable and It just NEVER gets boring or out of place.
Fav song: Waiting for the night before. The lyrics are purely genious, and the climax that song has is the most relaxing thing I've ever heard, which is strange considering it's a really dark song, would compare it with If only tonight we could sleep for this. The Bare version that has been released a few years ago is lovely, too.
yeah a full US tour better be in the works

Have you listened to Hourglass?? Dave did an AMAZING job on it. And while I completely adore Martin and everything about him,I think it's good for Dave to finally get his turn to write instead of being "the sexy singer" of the band. (tho he's still cute at his age)
And are you talking about "Waiting For The Night" from Violator? I like that song,but i listened to it after a friends funeral in 97 and it kind of depresses me now.
And i'm sooo glad to see Ultra love! It's such a great album. Useless,Barrel of a Gun and Home are my faves. Lately i've been listening to Black Celebration and Exciter.
Ooh...and you can guess what my favorite album is :D

And someone gave me this,it's pretty good.

"here is that track from the "Rare, Deleted & Promo Only Remixes" folder from The Complete Depeche Mode. It's also located on the Remixes 81-04 bonus "Rare Tracks Bundle," but listed as Behind The Wheel/Route 66 rather than the other way around. "
DM is the only band I would ever pay more than 100 dollars to see live at this point in my life. One of the best bands of all time...
I'm a Music for the Masses kind of guy.
I went rollerskating the other day and Kingdome by Dave Gahan went on the loud speakers. I got so excited.
Hahah that's awesome!!
Violator-album
It's No Good-Song
Funny.
I've never liked the band but yesterday I've downloaded PLAYING ANGEL because I liked the singles. The album totally blew me away.

Actually Hourglass was like my fav. record of 2007, I was walking through a store, and heard dave's voicce. Then In the 4th track I thought, "goddamm!! how it is I dno't know this depeche mode record? mkicks ass!", and then I asked the seller and told me it was dave's. And Despite the record being reallyu really good musically, there's some lyrics that I didn't feel that much. But I have to give him credits for lyrics such as Saw something, Miracles & 21 days.
Congrats for the violator picture!!! another cute disc. Sorry for you to have Waiting for the night spoiled, that's really sad. It's one of the few songs I really "trust".
What has been said about depeche's new record's sound?

I <3 "It's No Good"
Ultra is a fabulous album!
I mean Srsly....

Besides the vid being cheesy..... this song is wickedly sexy
and so is this song...
[youtube=425,350]83-me9iMMlY[/youtube]
Off subject.... Chevelle did a remake of It's No Good... pretty good version too.. But I do favor DP's version.
[youtube=425,350]bHGXSVJzm1M[/youtube]
This is one of my favorites,Dave portrays a skitso perfectly.
[youtube=425,350]40yeIIMbqDY[/youtube]
That man exudes sexiness...no matter what his age.
Dave>Trent
i have to imagine that if they are calling their tour "Tour the Universe" they will be playing the US. Thats like calling the baseball championship the world series and only inviting teams that play in NA...oh wait
they are coming to Portugal, july 11.
New of the day!

that song and video are about his heroin abuse.. actually the whole album ultra is about his heroin use
ultra might be one of the best cd's ive ever heard
before ultra was release david was locking himself in his room before and after shows. talking to a teddy bear and watching the weather channel all day long
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AqkR00AZj8Y&feature=related
actually. heres a video with dave when hes really really fucking high
So Martin wrote about Dave's heroin problem? Hmm...... I can see where you can get that from the video. I agree,it's one of the top albums..but it cant beat Violator.
In my book, it can. I never enjoyed personal jesus to be honest. and Enjoy the silence is a good track, but I think they could have used other synths to make it a bit more agresive, or something like this (just my opinion deviLady, don't take it as absolute truth). Really liked the bare version of clean, though. made me like the original more, too.
You have to keep in mind,that there was 7 years between albums. Violator was from 90,and it sounds like it was from then. And for the time,it was good for what it was. It just happens that I like the sound of that album,and it's the first album I ever heard by them. I'm not offended you prefer Ultra over Violator,we each have our own taste.
I fucking love "I Feel You"!
It is a kick ass song..you should listen to The Sweetest Condition,The Sweetest Perfection or I Am You....good songs!
yeah The Sweetest Perfection is a hell of a song.
I think Violator is my favorite DM album.
WHOO! ;D Exciter and Ultra are bad ass too...hell...so is Black Celebration and Music for the Masses.....
haha yeah they kick ass
I see we Deftoners have pretty much the same taste about DM albums. I fucking love exciter so much, sweet sounding depeche is unbeatable. You can't go wrong with a song like Shine.
but personally I Never Liked Songs of faith and devotion, haven't heard it deep enough but It's really strange the fact that the only songs I really liked where the singles (opposed to many of the other depeche albums).
Now I wanna read some playing the angel love, I can't believe that the have done like 11 albums and the latast is one of their strongest efforts. My favourite tracks from there are The darkest star and sinner in me. By the way, anyone else percieving beatles influence on Damaged people?
Songs of Faith and Devotion is my least favorite. I just cant get into songs like Condemnation....uuhg.
As far as Playing the Angel goes...LOVE IT!!! The Darkest Star and Sinner in Me are fucking brilliant songs. I can see a little Sgt. Pepper in Damaged People. hahaha I have the Touring the Angel dvd....Dave is soo damn sexay!
i dig the video they did on top of the world trade
Whats videos that?

Never seen that before! Here's the original..
[youtube=425,350]xQtzOOz6Y6c[/youtube]
There's scratching of the guitar in this song,and people used to say it was Satanic. haha
My favorite song of theirs is Stangelove, though I think the vid is pretty gay. To much dancing, and spinning.
EEP!!!!!

seriously....well, I'll see you at the socal shows, jon. :)
and as for me Violator is hands down. Songs of Faith and Devotion takes time to grow on you which is amazing when it does, but it's a complicated album during dave's major era on drugs.
Fav. song would have to be "Clean" and "Waiting for the Night".
No, honestly, it's true. I'm going to start saving up now, a year in advance, so I can go to all three shows (LA, Anaheim, San Diego)
Each ticket will be about 110, but this is solely from the fact that Playing the Angel Tour cost me 110 per ticket. I hope it wont be more?
how was the touring the angel show man?

Damn! My friend went to the Atlanta show,and said hers were $80 each...but she was far away too...
I'd totally dish out $200 for a floor seat.

condemnation. WHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHY
he sounds like hes crying when he sings that. that songs cracks me up
violator and ultra are there best albums hands down.. impossible to choose between the 2. just because the music is so much different
I know huh?? hah Sounds like he's crying in a church with gospel singers.
Exciter is good too though.... It's hard to say which is best for me really. All of their music is great.

I like "Wrong"
It doesn't really have a chorus, which is sad, but I don't care. I love that DM can still remain relevant while bands like U2 and The Cure fall short of their own glory.
I don't agree on cure's side.

it's like buying the album
I just heard "wrong"..I love it.

The video for "Wrong"
And the MP3 - http://www.infected-mushroom.wz.cz/wrong.mp3
Woooow...that video was creepy! I like the song tho...cant wait for the album...EEP! And if I passed Dave,Martin and Andrew walkin down the road I would certainly cause a wreck.
Hey...how do I save that as MP3..I forgot.
Right click - save link as.
I loved the video..felt like it was from the 80's or some shit, if that makes any sense?
Aah...I kept trying to do it while the song was playing and not the direct link....silly me. Thanks duder.
that's a great song, really dark, glad they're returning to th dark wave sound from Black Celebration and Music for the Masses
Yes sounds really dark, I have listened like 13 times already LOL
I already put it on my CD list to buy.
I'm stoked for the tour!!! :D
I've been enjoying the Sounds Of The Universe album so much. Great album from begining to end.
i been listen to them lately
Good,you should have been listening to them for a long time. Dave is sick right now and they've had to cxl a few shows. I hope he gets better by time he gets to the US.
i only heard the new album like twice. and i didnt even listen to it in whole
i really enjoyed the first song. but after that i strongly lost interest.. again tho. i only gave it a few scattered listens
theres no way it can be better than playing the angel anyway. that cd is on point
wrong is the shit.

Depeche Mode are pleased to announce they will restart their interrupted Tour Of The Universe in Leipzig, Germany on June 8th. On May 12th, lead singer Dave Gahan suffered a severe bout of gastroenteritis, leading to his hospitalization and the cancellation of the Athens concert. While in hospital, further medical tests revealed a low-grade malignant tumour in Dave's bladder, which has since been successfully removed. At doctors' orders Dave Gahan must take a break until June 8th, to ensure that he makes a full recovery. The Leipzig show on June 8th will be the first concert following Dave's recovery.
Jeez, am i the only one that thinks Depeche mode sucks?
i mean, it seems their music is designed for sentimental , old drunks. who feel that DM somehow captured a "spirit" of some kind in their music.
not even a bottle of whiskey could get me to like them
you ever see Orgazmo? just a great movie you need to see, if you haven't.
but there's a scene where Matt Stone's character says "I don't want to sound like a queer or nothing, but Depeche Mode kicks ass!"

I think you are one of the rare few that I've heard say they don't like them. DM are HUGE influences for many bands,INCLUDING your beloved Deftones. But whatevs....if you don't like them why even bother posting in here?

I concur.
Ah maybe they have one or two good songs but...on the whole im not that into them.
like when i watch their music videos i just see some slimy old men who still seem to think they've got the moves..
i even read in Q magazine thats their singer said "You have to be either drunk or high to get a kick out of DM"...i think he's right

wow this is pathetic. really? stooping as low as lip synching now?
They used to lip sync all the time when they were younger on those tv programs.
i see.. i cant understand why a tv station would have a band do that. unless its a band that would totally butcher their own songs live, lol. cough deftones. cough
Another case of "don't care for the album,but after seeing it live, love it!" I didn't care for SOTU at all,but have grown to LOVE it now...the song Corrupt is very good.
On another note,Songs of Faith and Devotion is slowly creeping up on Violator as my favorite album. I used to hate SOFAD,but have had it playing over and over in my car and I just adore it.
I'm gonna see them on October, I'm excited :D
Bringing back that thread from the dead...
Delta Machine, thoughts ?
After one whole listen I'm surprised by the really intimate and slow atmosphere that's built throughout the album. In that sense it reminds me of older albums like Ultra or Exciter, but keeping the same sound from their last two releases (Playing the Angel and Sounds of the Universe).
You can also hear that Gahan has had a growing influence in the songwriting, sometimes Delta Machine feels like one of his works in solo.
Stand out tracks so far : Angel, Heaven, Secret To The End, Soothe My Soul, Goodbye (excellent closer).
Maybe one or two bad tracks to me so far, the opener (Welcome To My World) and The Child Inside, the one sung by Martin Gore (the guy just can't stop showing off with his annoying vibrato).
I like the new album. Definitely superior to SOTU.
My current favourites are Angel, Heaven, My Little Universe and Alone.
Oh, and Martin is a great singer. "Macro" from Playing The Angel for example, which is sung entirely by Martin, is probably my favourite from the record. It's so dope!
I'm trying to like it. Been listening to it for a week,and a few are catchy. And yes,Martin is not only an amazing writer/composer but singer as well.
Of course Martin has a great singing technique and in that aspect he's much better than Dave. But he's just overdoing it to me. The only songs that I really like from him are The Things You Said (Music For The Masses) and to a lesser extent Home (Ultra).
And yes it's true that this album has much less catchy tunes than on the last two albums. Although Heaven or Soothe My Soul (next single ?) get quickly into your head.
Home, and Macro are my favorite songs sung my martin.
i heard the new depeche mode single on the radio today at work. but i havent heard the new album yet. although i saw the video of them playing "should be higher" live on letterman, and it was amazing.
Completely in love with this album. Didn't think I would get into it,but there is a lot of heavy bass thats drawn me in.
