- After the tragic loss of band member and friend, Andrew Fletcher, members of Depeche Mode were left to reflect on what life truly means to them. On their new album ‘Momento Mori’, Depeche Mode mourns the loss of a friend and adjusts to the band's new reality.
Band members Dave Gahan and Martin Gore sit down with Zane Lowe for an inside look at the band's personal struggles and how they made the music they are known for today.

The story about Fletch being so proud of his band was so cute! He is greatly missed, can't believe it's been almost a year since he passed. Love the new album, so happy the boys are back!
He's watching over now....❤
To watch them both laughing whilst sharing stories... Its emotional.
I do miss Alan more. Even Vince since I knew the DM sound never were about Fletch. But then again, he's Fletch, the one the never get rid of even though he never did anything for the band's music.
Love the story about Fletch and the pub landlord, brilliant. So greatly missed. RIP Fletch.
Hilarious ❤❤❤❤
This is probably the best interview I have seen with Depeche Mode, The interviewer has such a deep understanding of Dave and Martins thinking, they were on the same wavelength, and because of this they opened up, pretty impressive considering they are normally so guarded and cautious.
& the interviewer does not get in the way! Great, great, f…ing awesome interview, the best I’ve ever heard with DM!
@@kenduffy5397 He actually did get in the way a few times and spoke over them, but I give him a pass because of his enthusiasm and knowledge of the band and their art. I think both Zane and Dave dominated the interview when they should’ve let Martin have more of a chance to get his thoughts out as he’s always been fairly quiet and shy in interviews. He was probably happy to let them though!
Agree
This band is amazing & the way they express themselves is unique & marvelous. I can hear them speak 24/7❤
Martin's smile just melts my heart. He is so genuine
Totally agree!
Absolutely..So cute and humble man.
At times it seems like couples therapy, how interested Dave and Martin listen to each other when they answer the questions in the interview. Outstanding interview!
DM has been the soundtrack of my life since 35 years and I’ve seen every interview, but this is the best interview I've ever seen! Part 1 and 2! Thank you!
Watching Dave and Martin sitting there......is just like two long lost brothers have found each other. Sadly it took the death of Fletcher to make them find that friendship.
DM now stands for Depeche Mode as well as Dave and Martin, and I love that their names reflect that! It's great to see an interview that gives a lot of respect to DM.
Last year of high school, 1987. I bought the album, Black Celebration and for months I listened to this on my record player laying on the floor with these new Sony Headphones I had saved for weeks to get. From there the doors opened. I ended up becoming a musician, later falling into drugs and addiction and then got sober in 2002. All of this time with Depeche Mode being a major part of my listening time. Decades. Here, Zane, you show complete reverence and it makes me so deeply happy. I kept smiling and laughing with you guys in this and the other clip. To know that both of these men have come full circle. They are now Dave Gahan and Martin Gore and none of the ghosts haunt them the same now. Their ghosts have become accompaniment to their music and I love that. Wonderful interview. Thank you.😊❤
Thanks for giving them the respect they deserve, Zane. A masterful interview. I think they even enjoyed it. They are still humble after all the years of success. The new album is certainly a return to form - can't stop playing it from start to finish.
DM’s humility is another reason I admire them THIS BIG.
I never really listened to them, but the new album is great and it got me listening to older stuff. Been a lot of this and the new everything but the girl recently.
It's a good interview but I find Zane Lowe rather pretentious tbh. Yes a good interview is a conversation and not a series of robotic questions but he seems to think it's almost as much about him. It's not. Edit; plus he doesn't know who Richard Butler is...
I was at the show in Sacramento. It was the first show without Fletch. I cried when they did a tribute for him.
Way back in 1982, my cousin gave me the "A Broken Frame" album which he bought but didn't like and I have been a life long fan over the past 42 years.
Fletch's passing felt like a death in the family and very profound to me at the as age of 58.
When Momento Mori was announced, I was elated and sad as Fletch would not be in it but after listening to the album and seeing the respect by Dave and Martin for their departed and deeply missed friend, I am jubilant to celebrate a truly astounding album which to me is a both a celebration of life and death which none of us can avoid.
Here's to more Depeche Mode till the end of my days
Your comment made me so teary... one of the most emotional one's, love every word you wrote and relate to it. They are so respectful to each other, they are so special. I just can't get enough.
I saw them last night in Los Angeles. Dave and Martin really seemed to be leaning on and looking out for each other,
I'm a father of 3 beautiful kids (now adults). My wife and I went through a very difficult time in our relationship. The album playing the angel just came out and i felt that every track was written for me. It really resonated with me. Thank you Depech Mode, you saved my marriage.
Enjoy the Silence is my all time favourite song and I’m 63.
Too different men. Dave the showman, Martin the genius. But what a perfect partnership. RIP Fletch.
Absolutely, so well put. Fletch kept the band together, he was the glue.
I have a been a DM fan for 30 years. I have seen a lot of interviews with them. This is one of the best I have ever seen. Thank you.
I've been following them for 40yrs and that was the BEST interview of them ever! We the fans felt their troubles in those years and knew something wasn't right. It's amazing as Dave says the music just touches each individual differently. So glad God or whoever you believe in; was their to hold them up!
Me too.
This is maybe the best interview I ever saw with Dave and Mart together. Great work, good question.
You could tell in old interviews that Andy DID love being in the band and was like the 'Dad' to the rest of them plus he had a great sense of humor and smart!. He seemed like such a sweet man and I miss seeing him! I 're-discovered' DM las year and I'm so glad. Back in the day I always loved their music on the radio, but don't remember ever seeing them unless they were on MTV. I was a young busy Mom of 2 teens boys who were into the heavy metal rock bands and not so much into synthpop, but I loved them. They were a different sound from the hair bands and it was very refreshing! I've binge-watched every video I can find and just Love them. I almost felt like I knew them. I was finishing nursing school, studying and working, so I hadn't had the opportunity to see them. I'm so glad they're recording and performing again! By the way, this was a great interview! Thanks!
I have a lot of love and respect to them both Dave and Martin, they went through a lot and I am so happy that they are very close friends and very proud of them and God bless them both
Been a fan since 1983 and I can’t believe how humble these guys are after decades of insane success and fame. I would love to sit in a room with them and just talk about the songs of theirs that influenced my life.
U'r not alone!
I loved Dave as a teen in the 80,s madly truly deeply ha ha , loved synth music and loved depeche mode my all time favourite band , saw them live three times in the 80,s .. I never imagined I would be seeing them again over 40 years later in Manchester !! , these guys feel like family to me even though they don’t know me , and I’ve grown with their changing style but still the unique Depeche sound that keeps them Depeche , and a massive fan base , .. you could say they lost a brother really when Andy passed away suddenly , this interview was done very sensitively and I watched as Dave and Martin spoke about Andy with so much love and affection and I wanted to hug them , the part about the pub with Andy and martin made me smile , I love these guys ❤ thank you for this interview ❤️
I really do hope the two of them come back for another chat like this by the end of the year. I could easily have listened to more than just one hour.
This is my favourite DM interview ever, Zane 👏👏👏
If not the perfect interview, very close. Seemed therapeutic to them; and incredible to hear “rock stars” speak from the heart like this.
Mad love and respect for Dave and Martin. Such authentic, deep and humble guys. Depeche Mode was the soundtrack of my life, but I just saw them live for the first time. Memento Mori was a phenomenal show. Such incredible energy and production and a tender tribute to Fletch. I teared up a number of times, especially when Dave and Martin hugged. They are carrying the mantle and still on top 40 years on and I love seeing them healthy and happy. 🙏💜
Just saw DM last weekend in New Orleans - amazing show and glad that they continue on despite Andy's unfortunate passing. I wasn't a a fan back in the 80s but now kick myself for not giving them a chance back then. Their music is truly timeless and universally relatable ❤❤❤
Thank you Zane for a perfect interview, with the 2 legends. DM for life ❤
Violator is perfection.
Iam a depeche fan since 1991. This the best interview ever made by any media. Thank you very much
18:36 is the thing I liked the most. Laughing with Andy for being the ultra fan that he most certainly was...
These guys saved my life
This interview is impressive. Zane Lowe is masterful at what he does, here. He got Dave and Martin laughing whilst reaching for each other. Beautiful.
I feel so sorry for them they lost their best mate, I hope they find peace. 😢❤
Been arround since before Violator. My all time favorite band from 1985-Present. Martin and Dave are more grounded than ever. It's a beautiful thing to listen to them speak. Thank you for such a great and intelligent interview.
They're living legends ❤
Great Interview Zane, great guest Martin & Dave, Fletch is a great loss but brilliant stories of him, so look forward to Twickenham in June, been a fan since Dreaming of me was released.
what a fantastic interview. Never seen them so open and relaxed. Love it!
I love you Dave I love you Martin Missing Fletcher in my heart and in my mind forever thank you so much for this new album it's a masterpiece I love DM
Я тоже очень люблю ДЕПЕШ МОД ❤️ ❤️ ❤️ ❤️
The most hair raising thing here, is that DM is still around 🥰 I became a fan in the early 80´s, as a 11-12 year old pre teenager. In 86´ i saw them in Hamborg, performing their Black Celebration tour, and from there on, i was a full blown follower. Fast forward 2024, and they are still here, as i am. Magic! Cheers from Denmark.
Best interview ever made and im feeling like as a fan went a little bit more close to the Band. Andrew Fletcher would be proud and honored to see how his Bandmates talk about himself with that much respect.
RIP Andrew Fletcher, Bless Depeche Mode...may their success to be continued to the end of time!!❤❤❤
Love this series of interviews with Zane, so out of the box and so insightful, the Fletch in the Pub story it`s the perfect summary of what his role in the band was, the common guy that became a Rock`n Roll Hall Of Fame inductee, DM is about irony, and Fletch behind the rack of synths on a stage clapping his heart out it is the very essence of what DM is, it`s a feeling more than a band, a way of living more than a music project.
I enjoyed the new album and thought it sounded fresh, purged, retro, and melodic. And as a lifelong fan, they’re still impressive live. But I’m disappointed in Dave’s attitude about Alan. He said “All respect to Al, but...” and then proceeded to diminish his contribution.
After all this time surely we can recognize that it was the perfect creative storm of Martin’s poetic songwriting, Dave’s dynamic performance, and Alan Wilder’s incredible ear for powerful, dark, atmospheric soundscapes that made the magic happen. (Along with Fletch’s empowerment of Martin, and Vince Clarke’s getting them started.)
It’s only right to give Wilder credit for his meticulous work creating their sound on their best albums that delivered the great success they’ve enjoyed since. All the outside producers they’ve worked with have consistently expressed admiration for Alan’s dedication and talent in every interview and documentary. The bandmembers themselves have repeatedly reminisced about leaving the long hours of studio work, crucial to an electronic band, to Alan. No guest producer is going to be as invested.
I can understand them getting tired of hearing about Alan returning to the band, or about Fletch not contributing much musically, or even still harboring some feelings of abandonment, but not this unappreciative lack of graciousness. Honoring Fletch doesn’t have to involve dismissing Alan, or the reverse.
Dave respected Fletch.. It always bothers me when people say he wasn't needed.. Well.. Dave and Martin surely disagree.. love you Fletch
Martin "then you were just thinking like, In your room" HAHAHAHA!! 🤣🤣🤣🤣
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
My favorite and by far the greatest band of all time! So glad that they're still making incredible music! Can't wait to see you live.
The best of YOUR TIME, was at that time for me too but I grew up. jaja :)
🤔
Great interview, have grown up with DM since high school and still love their music. I miss listening to Zane used to listen to him on radio 1 and loved his show, his passion and interest for music and the creative process is so evident. Remember seeing Martin Gore sat at Harpenden rail station reading a book in 1996/97 and regret not saying hello to him.
The greatest respect for all of the years and the inspiration
One of the best interviews with Dave and Mart. Absolutely touching - deep - just wonderful.
You were able to draw quite a bit from them in this interview...amazing...getting a little stripped down to the bone...I was so moved ...loved this❤❤❤
They are true class really nice people.
Martin was a nice guy in person after the Devotional Tour in California. Greatest thing in my life. When I was younger I wrote a letter to Martin saying it would be an honor to meet you. My brother found it and laughed and said that I'll never meet him. Writing down dreams helps.....it's true. Oh and Alan W. too.
They never even mentioned Alan. Without the guy the sound of DM probably won't go beyond their success.
Such a great interview - amazing to hear musicians with such long careers talk about what they really feel about what they’re doing, about the songs they’re playing, and how the songs change along with the changes in their lives. What it means to be a songwriter, storyteller, and performer. This is what I actually want to about these beloved artists who have contributed so much to the soundtracks of life for so many.
easily my fav interview with Dave and Martin. God I love them. Fav band ever. Seen them 7 times.
Awesome interview, and great to hear the part about fletch in the bar.
God I love this band . From 81 to now, always in my life .
I've been a devoted fan for many years, this is by far their best interview👏
thanks for posting more of this interview
What a fantastic interview from Zane, you guys are so humble and took part with your hearts giving us mere mortals a brilliant understanding into what being a superstar really means. Thank you and please keep on being real.
The biggest rock star mistake treating it like a lifestyle and not as a job. Thankfully the guys survived it. Many haven't sadly.
What a great and moving interview, touched on so many important and difficult issues while remaining "light", positive and fun!... thanks.
So beautiful interview, I'm getting tears in my eyes! Sometimes life's bigger than an individual's feelings and this is it!
This is the best interview ever! Thank you.
This is a FANTASTIC interview.... I love how Martin tries to be incognito & move to Santa Barbara like Dave says he tried to find a bit of Paradise. He moved to beautiful Santa Barbara (it really is stunning) anyways he finds a little "English pub" called "The Ol Kings road"-or something or other. Finds a place he can chit chat throw back a couple of pints. The Englishman ask hey what do you do for a living? I mean how is this guy everyday at 1:00 pm able to go to this Pub and #1 afford the pints & #2 (the most important) afford to live in California! Trust me I know I was born in raised in LA Basically to rent a 3 bdrm nothing special/fancy is around 3,000++ . The house I grew up in 3 bdrm 2 bath pool & jacuzzi 1 story . The backyard bigger than the house is going for $950,000 !All the houses pretty soon will be 1 mill ticket.
So YES what do u do for a living Martin that affords you the luxury to sit here and throw pints back everyday at 1.... Oh I'm in one of the biggest bands I sell out arena tours all over the 🌎😅.Fletch on the other hand 1st 5 minutes he's there he tells the Guy he's in Depeche Mode! So proud may he R.I.P. I saw them when I was 14 Pasadena Music for the Masses & I will see them this fall in Dallas I'm a Lucky girl ... Aren't we all who gets to see them live!
Gore is a musical genius. Love his lyrics
Saw you guy's 14th-row Giant Stadium in 1990! Big fan way before, as I could not believe I was at the Violator tour still to this day! Thank you so very much!
Yes, great interview by both parties. "A good song will carry you through”. So true.
Very unique talent and great artists and musicians. I'm glad we still have them to continue on with their creativity. I enjoyed this interview.
Best interview eveerr of these guys ! Thank you
Songs of Faith and Devotion was and still is the best album ever in many ways, for many reasons. Watching it live was just another level.
Without question…
Fab 4 were the best!!
Big Fan since 101, but didn't realize how important the album Violator was. Thank you for the interview! Thank you for the show!! Was blessed with the show at MSG yesterday - so emotional. Love to all.
Grande Andy, thank you for the stories
Memento Mori is very good. If you've been a DM fan for 35 years like me, you'll hear different eras of their sound represented on different quite well written songs. Amazing vocals. Best record since Ultra-maybe since Violator. And heaven isn't better than Violator so why expect that? 😂🌹🌹
Agreeeeeeed. Never let me go could be on violator for sure. Soooo good.
Best since Violator? Even Songs of Faith and Devotion is better than Violator.
Black Celebration and Music For The Masses are my all time. Violator is massive, but it comes in 3rd.
@@henne2k yeah. I like that one and Always You a ton. But the whole record is fun, actually. It's a beautifully well produced album and I like the mix of song genres and styles and sounds. This was well thought out.
It's an average album - needed a stronger producer. It was obviously never going to be better than MFTM, BC, Violator or SOFAD. They are DMs masterworks.
Great interview!!! I ❤ them and their friendship is amazing 🤩
Great interview. These guys are so honest and open on these recent interviews. Absolute legends. Any idea when the 3rd part of this interview goes live?
So legendary and music pioneers.
Took my 16 year old daughter, who has my music taste, to see them in Detroit in November and it was like I found a lost friend from my childhood. I've been listening to their music daily ever since. They truly are one of the greatest bands of all-time and are so underappreciated outside of their fans. I've never really been a concert goer but I regret not going to see them while Fletch was still alive.
Fantastic. Just fantastic.
Good interview, thank you!
this is a really good interview! thanks for posting this! :)
I particularly loved the look on Marts face as Dave describes first hearing Ghosts Again….total joy.
Thank God 4 This Marvelous Band❤
I'm learning so much from this interview, about DM, good questions! Thank you for sharing ♡
One of the best interviews I have seen of Depeche Mode.
"you cannot prepare yourself". how very true.
Great interview, good work!
This is THE BEST Depeche Mode interview to date. The things you always wanted to know, hear and feel.
What a great interview.. Bravo.⚡️❤️⚡️
What a great interview. So many interesting points. And I feel the respect that Zane has for their music. And music in general actually
Wonderful Interview. Andy was the biggest fan of the band. ! He was the love bonding Depeche Mode. ! My favorite band of all the times. ! I am 50. This guys are an important part of my life. God bless you guys. God care of Andy. You are important !
Great writing collab with Psychedelic Furs ☯️ VCMG album was also a great collab. In 101, you can see how the band couldn't believe the impact they had. In their Devotional Tour, they were demi-gods almost. To me Violator almost felt like Black Celebration that was extremely appealing. because in Black it had a certain audience. Great interview, great show ❤
I think we all LOVE Fletch as we associate with him the most. I certainly feel that way. RIP ❤
Superb interview.
Such a good and honest interview! Thank you❤DM❤
Dave has such a beautiful deep spoken voice, and Martin is still shy and cute as always. I ❤ them so much since forever and will do forever ❤❤❤
just saw them live for the second time, God bless them, living legends
I just saw them on Dec 3rd in San Francisco! What a great concert!!!
@@lpsglitterpaws8536 Just saw them Dec 6th in San Diego... my 7th time seeing them. They will forever be my fav band. Miss you Fletch.
These guys gave me my favorite all time song with Enjoy the Silence.. over 30 years later, they have now given me that again with Ghosts Again ❤
I've just seen DM in TO 🇨🇦 and it was by far one of the most memorable concerts I've ever attended.
I mean, I've seen the Weekend with my daughter a few months ago and no offense, the Weekend couldn't reach the water to Dave on stage. His energy, his voice & the whole band experience was just an earthshattering moment. It is just great, passing the DM fan torch to my 17yr old. 😂❤ The tribute to Fletch was lovley too. He is so missed.
My favorite since people are people!
Grateful I have seen yall live!
Love Depeche Mode. My favourite band ever! ❤
I just love them...I love Depeche Mode. Been into them since I was 14..started playing piano before I even heard of them, and my interests in electronic music/keyboards/synthesizers personally were influenced by them. ANYWAY, great interview...
