Didn’t pause this video (just felt wrong as I was really just enjoying and taking everything in) so unfortunately my video kept getting blocked 😅 I had to dim the video a little so it’s a little darker to be able to post! Sorry about that, but I hope you all enjoy it! I’ll pause in the future or is you all don’t mind have overlays for more DM reactions ♥️
@@richardlionheart6701 ...OMG!! I can't believe Fletch passed!!?? I just looked it up hoping you were wrong, it's been almost a year! How the hell did I miss that? I am soooo sad. IMO he was the glue that often held them together, filling different roles when and where needed, that and his struggles with anxiety and depression over the years, is why I identified with him more than the other members, hell probably more than any other musician I looked up to in the 80s and 90s. Such a loss, my heart goes out to his family and friends.
same here brother. call me crazy but The Bangles also had some awesome stuff. September Girls by them is actually in my top 10 all time favorite songs. Its such a mellow vibe.
Quite a few rock and metal bands has been influenced by Depeche mode. Rammstein are great fans and has covered a few of their songs. Though I consider myself a rocker/metalhead, I'm a sucker for well composed pop-music, and not the easily chewed and spit out stuff..
Yes! And they are totaly addictive ! I need some rehab ! I was on concert 23th july, I'm still there ! Litterly -Just can't get enough! Enjoing was on MAX ❤
Dave is such an amazing lead man. Even when he was battling decades of heroin addiction you could tell that the stage was where he felt at peace and the band and fans were his comfort. So glad he was able to overcome his demons. R.I.P fletch ❤
As an introvert this song is one of my favorites, the lyrics are so relevant to me, "words, like violence, break the silence, come crashing in, into my little world. Painful to me, pierce right through me, can't you understand, oh my little girl." We introverts spend a lot of time in our own little worlds inside our heads and when someone starts talking to us, sometimes words are like violence. Also, Depeche Mode are a legendary group, with many iconic songs. Depeche Mode headlined the electronic movement of the '80s, then became superstars in the '90s with their mix of synths and guitars. So many fantastic songs. They are still going strong, playing to over three million people on their latest world tour.
I'm a metal head through and through, but I fucking love Depeche Mode! You nailed the feeling that you get when seeing them live. They create a moment for over 2 hours. I'm flying from Seattle to Paris to see them in a couple of months, and I can't be more excited.
Oh Aileen! You make me so happy. DM is the soundtrack of my life. I'm a fan since 1989. 1993 I went to the first concert...and I was blown away. I daught by myself "unfortunately, if I will ever have a child, this will never see them live in concert!" What can I say? It's 2023, my son is 23 y.o. and we will go to DM next month...again! We saw them together 4 times since 2013. They still fill stadiums in minutes. One of them is missing very much. R.i.p. "Fletch". Thank you Aileen. If you want to hear the background-angle, choose "Home", "One caress " and "a question of lust"❤
One of my favourite songs of all time - and this is the PERFECT way for you to experience this for the first time. Best live performance of this track ever. I've been fortunate to see them live a few times, and being in that audience, who are all so passionate about these lads and being a part of all that, is akin to a religious experience.
RIP Fletch. Enjoy The Silence is my favourite song on the Violator album, and I first heard it in the mid 90's around the time I split with my then girlfriend. The lyrics are still poignant three decades later "all I ever wanted, all I ever needed is here in my arms"
I do like DM, saw them first in the early nineties and I agree that they are a great live band. However, it always strikes me silly when fans claim that one specific band is unequaled in their music, stage presence or whatever else. It´s just simply not true because you probably never even listened to some of the really great artists let alone saw them live.
Depeche Mode concerts are one of my happiest places. The joy is infectious and every person there is full of love and excitement. It is electric because we are really like a family. Saw them this month and can't wait to see them again in November! ETA it broke my heart not to see Fletcher and his patented over head clap up there. RIP Fletch
I was 17 when they released this song. And even though metal is my 1st love, DM holds a special place in my heart. Whenever I hear them they take me back to happy places and the memories become very visable. It's an art, not just another perfomence and you felt it.
Thanks for the great reaction ! One of the names for this style of music in the the 80s amd 90s was Modern Rock, industrial and New Wave. It laid the foundation for what we have now in rock and pop. Back in the 80s and 90s we used to dress like these UK groups and it was part of culture for ppl. under 30. We stood out and most thought we were weird and misunderstood. Now it’s cool and accepted for this generation, but back then you had to deal with dirty looks and sometimes harassed for just looking different. Just like you see young ppl. now doing punk and no big deal and no one is shocked. I remember around 82 when I just colored or highlighted just my bangs and everyone was like woah and freaked out and I’m a guy. Btw. You should listen to the many other Depeche Mode songs and they have many.
They're from the 90s and different genres though still electronic music (trance, prog house and trip hop) but what about Faithless? Especially live. Or Goldfrapp, especially for the first 3 albums?
True. But young people today want music they can call their own. I can't say I like that music, or understand it, but the kids deserve their own style or sound or whatever you want to call it. DM were new and exciting back when they started and kids like me were hypnotised. I still am, truth be told. But it's good that new bands today are not like Depeche Mode, that's the way it should be. That said, it's sooo nice when I see the younger fans at a DM gig, it's great to see them feel what we all felt all that time ago.
Probably the best reaction to this ever, so joyful. Just in case you were wondering Aileen, he is saying Mr. Martin L. Goooooooorrrrrrrrreeeeeee (Gore) at that bit... 7:24
Over the Decades I've been to so many concerts from Depeche Mode. First one was in 1983 when they were playing in front of just a few hundred people. Since then It has become like an religious experience. The energie given back and fourth. The are these moments like this show you just reacted to or the show in Paris where they created some moments to by celebrating "Never let me down again" or "Freelove". Both very worthy of a reaction of yours. I just loved this one today. Keep it up!
Depeche Mode is a religious experience. Pure genius song writing. Deep, dark, disturbing, soul stirring, relevant, so many people identify with their music. Legend group of the 80's. The best and my favorite band of the 80-90's. Synthpop icons.
It took me a little bit to get into these guys when i first heard them back in the late 80s. Now, i consider them to be one of the best on the planet. This video proves why.
Depeche Mode (French for "fast fashion") was formed in 1980 as a British synth pop group w/ Dave Gahan (lead vocals), Martin L. Gore (guitar/ keys), Vince Clarke (keys) and Andrew 'Fletch' Fletcher (samples/ keys)... They had an early pop hit in 1981 - "Just can't get enough"... Vince Clarke soon left and was replaced by Alan Wilder (keys/ drums) and Depeche Mode made a name for themselves w/ a string of studio albums which were written mostly by Martin Gore ... By 1986, Depeche Mode was developing a more 'gothic' sound and dark delivery w/ the albums 'Black celebration' (1986) and 'Music for the masses' (1987) and grew even more popular as a result... They headlined the Rose Bowl stadium in California on that tour in 1988. 'Violator' (1990) was the record that pushed Depeche Mode into superstar status, scoring huge singles - 'Personal Jesus'... 'Enjoy the silence'... 'Policy of truth'... and sold 3x platinum in the US (3 million copies). However, Depeche Mode became dysfunctional w/ fame & fortune, and Dave Gahan (lead vocals) also became hooked on heroin as the band released 'Songs of faith and devotion' (1993) and toured into 1994... Alan Wilder would leave the band and was never replaced; Depeche Mode would play concert w/ various hired musicians. They returned in 1997 w/ the album 'Ultra'... but Dave Gahan was still recovering from his addictions... Depeche Mode did not tour until 1998 after Gahan was in better shape. Gore, Gahan and Fletcher carried on recording and touring for the next 2 decades. In 2022, Andrew Fletcher died unexpectedly at age 60... Depeche Mode have announced that they would honor him w/ a new album 'Memento Mori' in 2023 and a tour to follow.
Love Depeche mode, I can remember going to see them many years ago when they first started out. Another band that will definitely get you dancing in your chair are the Swedish classically trained trio DIRTY LOOPS, They are JONAH NILSSON singer/ keyboard player with a great funky Michael Jackson/ Stevie wonder style voice, HENRIK LINDER, one of today's great bass players, and on drums the very underrated AARON MELLERGARD.I call their music "HAPPY FEEL GOOD MUSIC" 😊I first came across singer JONAH NILSSON in a collaboration video with my favourite guitarist STEVE VAI in a video called JONAH NILSSON-DIAMOND RING, a cameo guitar solo from Steve and also a cameo appearance from dirty loops manager and mentor the old legend QUINCY JONES, Quincy doing some unusual move's at the end of the video.(If anyone out there is not familiar with STEVE VAI steve was vote one of the top 10 guitar player's of all time, a great video to see steve in action at his usual greatness STEVE VAI INCREDIBLE GUITAR PERFORMANCE HD video. From the crossroads guitar festival.). DIRTY LOOPS do an UNBELIEVABLE version of Michael Jackson's THRILLER a collaboration with guitar player CORY WONG and his musicians, dirty loops recorded their part in Stockholm Sweden and Cory wong and his great horn section recorded their part in Minneapolis. once you've watched one dirty loops video you've will have to watch another and another. Another 2 great tunes from the Cory wong sessions are FOLLOW THE LIGHT ,and the unbelievable instrumental' TURBO' , GUARANTEED to get you up dancing, Can't wait to see your smile reacting to these amazing musicians. Then you've got to watch DIRTY LOOPS incredible studio video's starting with one of dirty loops fans favorite songs with a great title WORK SHIT OUT, great bass and drums from HENRIK LINDER and AARON MELLERGARD. Also have a look at the funny credits at the end of this song. Then have a look at WORLD ON FIRE, ROCK YOU, HIT ME, then the 8 minute long classic NEXT TO YOU, Jonah Nilsson's vocals with a hint of gospel will take you all the way to church and back, drummer Aaron Mellergard singing harmonies in the video A beautiful ballad you might have a few tears is the beautiful BREAKDOWN great vocals again from jonah Nilsson. Another 3 instrumentals with strange titles are SONGS FOR LOVERS COFFEE BREAK IS OVER, SONGS FOR LOVERS BITTEN BY THE KITTEN, and SONGS FOR LOVERS OLD ARMANDO HAD A FARM, again funny credits at the end of old Armando had a farm with pigs, sheep cows ect. remember all the songs the studio video's not live ones, and to finish off Jonah Nilsson sang Michael Jackson's BILLY JEAN for his mentor QUINCY JONES in PARIS, Quincy sitting at the side of the stage welcoming the musicians to the stage . Two bass players from way back in the Michael Jackson days RICHARD BONA and MARCUS MILLER. A few suggestions to start your dirty loops journey. best wishes from the north east coast of England.
this was taken from my absolute team as music (DM) ..From Cluj...Romania..i,m old yor generation has more to discovrer!!don't know how much you like it and discover now when your young, or how much praises and follows for channel!..ever way..enjoy!!
I've seen Depeche Mode 5 times in concert, and each time was an incredible experience sharing in the love of their music with everyone. Absolutely incredible in person and they make it so interactive with the audience . A must see, and they return to L.A this year!!!!🙌🙌🙌 concert number 6, here I come!
If you're feeling it this much just watching their live performance, imagine actually being there. Ive seen them multiple times and I cried my eyes out at every single show. You feel it through and through 🖤
So awesome that new generations are exposed to Depeche Mode music. Their music is eternal and keeps on living by the fans. We need more DM fans to make this world slightly better
Depeche Mode are LEGENDS. Saw them live a couple years ago with my mother because it was one of her bucket list bands. Now we're going again this summer because you can never be sure how long a band of that age can still tour. The whole concert is a spectacle and Dave has an insane presence on stage. There's alomst no-one else who can act like he does without it feeling fake, but he makes everything feel natural. Like those spins around... in 99,9999% of Bands that would feel tacky but when he does it it's like "you, how else would you move at that moment".
I saw these guys in concert three times during the course of my childhood. Each time, I came out of it entranced, sweaty, spent, satisfied, half deaf, and with no voice. Legends.
In all seriousness, I think it’s tough to narrow Depeche Mode’s terrific song catalog at large down to a Top 10, or even a Top 20. This song is one of them, but other tunes like “Personal Jesus,” “Just Can’t Get Enough,” “Everything Counts,” “Dreaming of Me,” “Shake the Disease,” “A Question of Time,” “Walking in My Shoes,” “Dream On,” “Ghosts Again,” “Policy of Truth,” and the mind-blowing “Never Let Me Down Again” to name but a mere few among so many, also surprise me every time I hear them. Not to mention songs like those make me feel good when I’m feeling grouchy.
I've been a fan since I was 8 years old - that was in 1983. For me there is no better band. My first concert was when I was 18 and since then I've been to at least 2 concerts on every tour. Dave's energy is indescribable. The more the fans follow along, the better he gets and the bigger his smile will be! simply indescribable! Goosebumps from start to finish! For me they are simply the greatest!
Yeah being at a Depeche Mode concert is a whole experience. Some of the best concerts I´ve ever been too. Dave doesn´t have to sing the choruses anymore. The audience always sings for him. Personal Jesus is wonderful live. Everyone reaches out when he sings "Reach out and touch Faith" It´s glorious!
This is my favorite song since I was 11. It has carried me through some of the most beautiful and the most heartwrenching times of my life. What you see from David Gahan during this performance is gratitude. He went through heroin addiction, was clinically dead and brought back, and most recently, lost their friend and bandmate Andrew Fletcher, the "glue" that kept the band together. He and Martin L. Gore (the other bandmate he shouts out at the end) have had a long and rocky history because the latter is so introverted and softspoken that the far more exuberant Dave has had a habit of running roughshod over him. Dave is making a concerted effort to direct the spotlight away from himself. After all, it's Martin who writes the songs. I think it's beautiful.
I saw them two days ago in Berlin and it was again epic. They are absolute a live Band and they fascinated Millions of people. When 75.000 people singing the songs…… I’ts gorgeous ❤❤❤
I saw them 3 times in concert! Including this tour where you played this version of 'Enjoy the silence'. The last time I brought my husband, he had never seen them live! And now he understood my emotion every time I listen to it! this moment of communion where more than 20,000 people sing together! I cry every time I listen to this song!!
Truly enjoyed this reaction. Glad that you notice the love the band has for the audience and the music that made them be able to do this. Beautiful energy is recognized by beautiful people with said energy.
There's no better act to see. Your soul gets taken over. Dave captures the stage. Make sure you get to see them live at least once in your life! This summer, I see them in the Golden Circle at Twickenham! First time I saw them in 84/85 at Wembley Arena, UK. They've been a big part of my life. Fortunate to chat and shake hands with Peter Gordeno in 2021 when Dave Gahan was with the Soulsavers at the London Coliseum.
Huge fan since the first song on the first album (when Vince Clark was with them), and everything since. They were a major influence on bringing electronic and 'found' recorded (sampled) sounds to music. Later incorporated more rock flavor. Always awesome, seen them live many, many times, and yes, it is like a religious experience!
Everything was good until in the 90s the government allowed record labels to buy all radio stations. Since then no more local bands were able to perform and compete locally. That wiped out so much creativity and diversity. Now record labels choose the artists, hire different musicians and sell you the product, everything sounds the same as they please. No more Depeche Mode, no more INXS, no more Roxette, No more B52's, no more U2, no more Culture Club, no more The Cars, no more Queen.
I've seen Depeche Mode multiple times live going back to the 90's (and as recently as a few weeks ago in Las Vegas) and it is absolutely what you said: an experience. There's nothing like it. Depeche Mode fans really are the best fans in the world. A very diverse group of fans, many of them outsiders who have often felt alone or have gone through a lot in life, together as one, celebrating life. At least half of the people in the crowd would tell you Depeche Mode is their favorite band. It only took you a couple of minutes to figure out why. The new world tour is incredible. They're better than ever. If you see one show this year, go see Depeche. You really will have the best time of your life. I love Depeche Mode. Dave and Martin are two of my favorite people ever. Really enjoyed your reaction! So glad you enjoyed the music and the performance. Go see them in concert...you won't regret it. Cheers.
I feel sorry for you, you just now found DEPECHE MODE's ENJOY THE SILENCE??? I am a life-long Depeche Fan, every song, every single, every LP, everything... Depeche Mode - The Soundtrack of my Life! Thank you Dave and Martin for being with me in my lowest times and help me celebrate my highest levels of life! *DM4ER*
The dancing got u a sub❤. Depeche Mode( and other new wave)..the band the metalheads hated and got hated on for listening. I on the other hand, I loved them both. Grade 10 we had to get British LP imports in order to listen to them. Then grade 12 Personal Jesus hit it big and everyone was listening to them.
I see someone else who was feeling it. That's what it's all about. How music makes you feel and how you react to it. Makes the listener forget about the world for a few moments in time and mind travel anywhere. Anywhere but here and now. By the time you land and get back to reality, you walk away with that long lasting taste like when you just drank a good cup of coffee.
I've seen them a few times. One of those times I think might have been this same tour. They had those same contortionist in the background. I got about half way though this song before I realised that that was a video of those contortionists. They stayed so still the whole time but you'd see them make slight adjustments or move their eyes. Depeche Mode puts on a great show, they have lots of great songs. Great band to catch
DM is a English synth band there peak was probably 87-97. There biggest hits are "Personal Jesus, Enjoy The Silence People Are People. The song Everything Counts from there 101 tour the whole crowd sings along as well. I really enjoy "Behind The Wheel" from there 101 tour or Personal Jesus from there Devotional tour both songs are really loud and powerful
Another song that the whole crowd gets involved is "Never Let Me Down Again". DM always performs this song on there tours. On the 101 tour it is where it all started my favorite is the concert at The Rose Bowl in California in the USA in front of 80,000 fans
I was familiar with them but never really a fan, then some years ago a friend of mine toook me to a concert. It was a transofmrative experience, they are the whole package: absolute top-tier showmanship and musicianship, paired with the irresistible joy and unending love for the music and the audience, you 100% feel how happy they are that you are there, just to dance and have fun toghether:)
Love your reaction to DM! I've been feeling the same thing since the 80s. They have that effect on people. Just saw them in April and they are still as powerful and emotional as ever.
Aileen it's so good to see you a younger generation enjoying some class music from my youth, Depeche Mode is one of those Classic gems that resonates through the decades and have been covered by so many artists proving that the quality in the music & lyrics are hypnotic, Thank God I grew up through the 60's,70's & 80's when he amount of music had a great diversity and are still used today in TV ads, Movies etc.
Hi, thanks for the reaction and praising this legendary band. I am enjoying their music for almost 40 years now and they still deliver quality. DM has influenced so many artists through the years. 'Never let me down again' and 'Blasphomous Rumours' are 2 of many you should see and since you like metal also, maybe check out also the covers from Rammstein (Stripped) and Marilyn Manson (Personal Jesus).
DM is one of the greatest live bands ever. such commanding stage presence. they are touring in the US this fall, can't wait! they have so many great live performances, also check out never let me down again, world in my eyes, walking in my shoes.
I live in Nashville TN and they have the cheapest tickets for the tour here. I grew up in Miami and glad there’s not a high demand here for them with all this country bs. $18 a ticket here. Every other city was like $80 or $100 each.
Depeche Mode has literally been my favorite band since I was a young kid. I grew up hearing their music because of people in my family & I have been a fan ever since. They put on phenomenal live shows & their music is the best. Every album they've done, I've absolutely loved. Also, Martin Gore, the guy that was doing the backing/harmonizing vocals, actually does lead vocals on some of their songs, too. Some of my favorites that he sings are "A Question Of Lust", "Somebody", "I Want You Now" & "Home". He does others, but if you ever want to react to some he does vocals on, those are good ones to check out. I'd love to see more DM reactions from you, I think you'll love them so much the more you listen to them!
Welcome to the 80s when the best music was produced ;), in my opinion. I don't know your age but it's a decade with loads of music that needs to be re-experienced/discovered by the younger generation of music lovers, who have missed out on the history and experiences of music development. I was born in 1969 and grew up during this musical journey. Hope you continue your journey..... exploring great music. Love from Sweden.
I don't care what any one say's Depeche Mode is one of the best bands of all time and most metal heads were closet DM fan's at least one time in there life.
Lacuna Coil does a neat cover of this song. They give it a little darker, more nostalgic makeover. It definitely falls in line with their branding. If you don't know them already, Our Truth is a great introduction track with a cool video.
Can’t go wrong with 80’s music, also, I love your energy and bubbly personality, along with your open mind to all kinds of music. Good luck on your journey
Creo que aún no estás preparada para escuchar Depeche Mode 😂 en mí adolescencia nos voló la cabeza y hasta el día de hoy a mis 50 años lo sigue haciendo ❤
Didn’t pause this video (just felt wrong as I was really just enjoying and taking everything in) so unfortunately my video kept getting blocked 😅 I had to dim the video a little so it’s a little darker to be able to post! Sorry about that, but I hope you all enjoy it! I’ll pause in the future or is you all don’t mind have overlays for more DM reactions ♥️
All that matters is that we get to see your smiles and your reactions❤
R.I.P Andy Fletcher I have followed this band since the 1980,s. Still sounds fab
@@Nueral I couldn't say it any better than you.👏
@@richardlionheart6701 ...OMG!! I can't believe Fletch passed!!?? I just looked it up hoping you were wrong, it's been almost a year! How the hell did I miss that? I am soooo sad. IMO he was the glue that often held them together, filling different roles when and where needed, that and his struggles with anxiety and depression over the years, is why I identified with him more than the other members, hell probably more than any other musician I looked up to in the 80s and 90s. Such a loss, my heart goes out to his family and friends.
Don't worry, most of us have seen the videos many many times so our brains just fill in the rest 😉
I am a metalhead through and through, but I love Depeche Mode. They have so many great songs. Enjoy the journey.
I too am a metal head, yet no metal band has my top spot... DM are my favourite band!
Ditto!
same here brother. call me crazy but The Bangles also had some awesome stuff. September Girls by them is actually in my top 10 all time favorite songs. Its such a mellow vibe.
"Enjoy The Journey"
Haha, I see what you did there. 😛
Quite a few rock and metal bands has been influenced by Depeche mode. Rammstein are great fans and has covered a few of their songs.
Though I consider myself a rocker/metalhead, I'm a sucker for well composed pop-music, and not the easily chewed and spit out stuff..
Nothing compares to the feeling of hearing them perform this song live. It's an almost religious experience.
Yes! And they are totaly addictive ! I need some rehab ! I was on concert 23th july, I'm still there ! Litterly -Just can't get enough! Enjoing was on MAX ❤
I feel the same! I can't get enough of them since I was on concert in June ❤
OMG RIGHT!!!!
Saw them last march and then again this dec . Its addictive.
I've seen them twice in concert and they brought me to tears - pure love and joy
Dave is such an amazing lead man. Even when he was battling decades of heroin addiction you could tell that the stage was where he felt at peace and the band and fans were his comfort. So glad he was able to overcome his demons. R.I.P fletch ❤
Amen
🙏
Decades of Heroin addiction? He was on it for 5 years and clean since 1997
Amen 🙏
Depeche mode… another awesome English band. Enjoy the silence is an all time classic alongside personal Jesus.
And new song GHOST AGAIN
Depeche Mode were titans in the 80s and beginning 90s, and they always had a huge fanatic fanbase. They are legends
still have 😉
LEGENDS
@@superjan008 still are. Off to see them next month in London - new album released a month or so ago....
And they still are! They’ll be here at MX City in September and tickets flew months ago!
❤
As an introvert this song is one of my favorites, the lyrics are so relevant to me, "words, like violence, break the silence, come crashing in, into my little world. Painful to me, pierce right through me, can't you understand, oh my little girl." We introverts spend a lot of time in our own little worlds inside our heads and when someone starts talking to us, sometimes words are like violence.
Also, Depeche Mode are a legendary group, with many iconic songs. Depeche Mode headlined the electronic movement of the '80s, then became superstars in the '90s with their mix of synths and guitars. So many fantastic songs. They are still going strong, playing to over three million people on their latest world tour.
Life long DM fan since I was 13 in 1982.
Very well said.
DM Forever ❤
you took the words out of my mind...that's why I love this song so much.
I'm a metal head through and through, but I fucking love Depeche Mode! You nailed the feeling that you get when seeing them live. They create a moment for over 2 hours. I'm flying from Seattle to Paris to see them in a couple of months, and I can't be more excited.
Oh Aileen! You make me so happy. DM is the soundtrack of my life. I'm a fan since 1989. 1993 I went to the first concert...and I was blown away. I daught by myself "unfortunately, if I will ever have a child, this will never see them live in concert!"
What can I say? It's 2023, my son is 23 y.o. and we will go to DM next month...again! We saw them together 4 times since 2013. They still fill stadiums in minutes. One of them is missing very much. R.i.p. "Fletch". Thank you Aileen. If you want to hear the background-angle, choose "Home", "One caress " and "a question of lust"❤
Just took my 3 boys to them in March. So fulfilling. I am excited for you and that experience with your kid!
One of my favourite songs of all time - and this is the PERFECT way for you to experience this for the first time. Best live performance of this track ever. I've been fortunate to see them live a few times, and being in that audience, who are all so passionate about these lads and being a part of all that, is akin to a religious experience.
RIP Fletch. Enjoy The Silence is my favourite song on the Violator album, and I first heard it in the mid 90's around the time I split with my then girlfriend. The lyrics are still poignant three decades later "all I ever wanted, all I ever needed is here in my arms"
Thx Alan Wilder for this sounds...
I'm saying it again. Personal Jesus by Depeche Mode is a must
Yes! There is an amazing live version from the 1993 Devotional tour
Strangelove remix. Please
DM live is absolutely electric and has some of the most dedicated fans ever. They're a must-see.
Well said.
Arguably one of the best live bands ever. Their stage presence is unequaled...and they've been doing it for 40 years.❤❤❤
I do like DM, saw them first in the early nineties and I agree that they are a great live band. However, it always strikes me silly when fans claim that one specific band is unequaled in their music, stage presence or whatever else. It´s just simply not true because you probably never even listened to some of the really great artists let alone saw them live.
@@holgerplitzko6404 My opinion not yours.
Depeche Mode concerts are one of my happiest places. The joy is infectious and every person there is full of love and excitement. It is electric because we are really like a family. Saw them this month and can't wait to see them again in November! ETA it broke my heart not to see Fletcher and his patented over head clap up there. RIP Fletch
I was 17 when they released this song. And even though metal is my 1st love, DM holds a special place in my heart. Whenever I hear them they take me back to happy places and the memories become very visable. It's an art, not just another perfomence and you felt it.
There are a LOT of "metal heads" who enjoy DM. Awesome!
"NEVER LET ME DOWN AGAIN" Depeche Mode at their absolute finest 🤗
Crowd going crazy waving 👌🏻🖤
About Dave’s addiction to H
I have seen Depeche Mode twice, and both shows were this amazing. They sounds amazing, and Dave Gahan has the moves that makes the ladies scream.
Thanks for the great reaction ! One of the names for this style of music in the the 80s amd 90s was Modern Rock, industrial and New Wave. It laid the foundation for what we have now in rock and pop.
Back in the 80s and 90s we used to dress like these UK groups and it was part of culture for ppl. under 30. We stood out and most thought we were weird and misunderstood. Now it’s cool and accepted for this generation, but back then you had to deal with dirty looks and sometimes harassed for just looking different. Just like you see young ppl. now doing punk and no big deal and no one is shocked. I remember around 82 when I just colored or highlighted just my bangs and everyone was like woah and freaked out and I’m a guy.
Btw. You should listen to the many other Depeche Mode songs and they have many.
There are no new bands like Depeche Mode anymore. Not even one.
Closest for me is ladytron, but that was over 20 years ago lol.. Completely different bands, but got the same feeling when first discovering.
They're from the 90s and different genres though still electronic music (trance, prog house and trip hop) but what about Faithless? Especially live.
Or Goldfrapp, especially for the first 3 albums?
@@mrglasses8953 Again, no NEW bands. Modern music all sounds the same. The mastering nowadays is a pain in the ....:)
True. But young people today want music they can call their own. I can't say I like that music, or understand it, but the kids deserve their own style or sound or whatever you want to call it. DM were new and exciting back when they started and kids like me were hypnotised. I still am, truth be told. But it's good that new bands today are not like Depeche Mode, that's the way it should be. That said, it's sooo nice when I see the younger fans at a DM gig, it's great to see them feel what we all felt all that time ago.
Love that beautiful smile and that amazing attitude you have. Glad you did a DM review they put on great show. Stay blessed gorgeous!!❤
Cool thing is Chester Bennington was a huge Depeche Mode fan.
didn´t know for a long time the reinterpretation of this song (2004) was from Mike Shinoda
Mike Shinoda is also, he was even asked once if he weren't in Linkin Park, what other band would he like to be in and he said only one, Depeche Mode.
Everybody is
Anyone with any taste is😊
This video is so good I cry when watching it. It makes you want to be there and yes, I'm dancing too.
Watching you happily discover this music and reacting so joyfully to it is wonderful to see, Ms. Aileen! I love your reaction channel!
That was a awesome reaction and real as it gets
Probably the best reaction to this ever, so joyful. Just in case you were wondering Aileen, he is saying Mr. Martin L. Goooooooorrrrrrrrreeeeeee (Gore) at that bit... 7:24
Over the Decades I've been to so many concerts from Depeche Mode. First one was in 1983 when they were playing in front of just a few hundred people. Since then It has become like an religious experience. The energie given back and fourth. The are these moments like this show you just reacted to or the show in Paris where they created some moments to by celebrating "Never let me down again" or "Freelove". Both very worthy of a reaction of yours. I just loved this one today. Keep it up!
I'm seeing Depeche live in 6 weeks time at Twickenham, London. Bring it on!
Depeche Mode is a religious experience. Pure genius song writing. Deep, dark, disturbing, soul stirring, relevant, so many people identify with their music. Legend group of the 80's. The best and my favorite band of the 80-90's. Synthpop icons.
They've got a new song that came out earlier this year called Ghosts Again... Hauntingly Beautiful.
It took me a little bit to get into these guys when i first heard them back in the late 80s. Now, i consider them to be one of the best on the planet. This video proves why.
I listen to metal, prog rock and prog metal. But DM always gets me! They're amazing!
Depeche Mode (French for "fast fashion") was formed in 1980 as a British synth pop group w/ Dave Gahan (lead vocals), Martin L. Gore (guitar/ keys), Vince Clarke (keys) and Andrew 'Fletch' Fletcher (samples/ keys)... They had an early pop hit in 1981 - "Just can't get enough"... Vince Clarke soon left and was replaced by Alan Wilder (keys/ drums) and Depeche Mode made a name for themselves w/ a string of studio albums which were written mostly by Martin Gore ... By 1986, Depeche Mode was developing a more 'gothic' sound and dark delivery w/ the albums 'Black celebration' (1986) and 'Music for the masses' (1987) and grew even more popular as a result... They headlined the Rose Bowl stadium in California on that tour in 1988.
'Violator' (1990) was the record that pushed Depeche Mode into superstar status, scoring huge singles - 'Personal Jesus'... 'Enjoy the silence'... 'Policy of truth'... and sold 3x platinum in the US (3 million copies).
However, Depeche Mode became dysfunctional w/ fame & fortune, and Dave Gahan (lead vocals) also became hooked on heroin as the band released 'Songs of faith and devotion' (1993) and toured into 1994... Alan Wilder would leave the band and was never replaced; Depeche Mode would play concert w/ various hired musicians.
They returned in 1997 w/ the album 'Ultra'... but Dave Gahan was still recovering from his addictions... Depeche Mode did not tour until 1998 after Gahan was in better shape. Gore, Gahan and Fletcher carried on recording and touring for the next 2 decades.
In 2022, Andrew Fletcher died unexpectedly at age 60... Depeche Mode have announced that they would honor him w/ a new album 'Memento Mori' in 2023 and a tour to follow.
Songs of faith and devotion surpasseed Violator in my opinion. a true master piece.
@@mauricecohen3830 That's your opinion, but 2 million people who didn't buy it would disagree.
@@sumonjamal1653 Isn't it what I said? My opinion. Jeez!
New Life was their first UK hit, i am also a fan of their other early hits….See You, Get The Balance Right and in 84….Everything Counts
@@mauricecohen3830 Your opinion is waaaay off lol. 😂
My Top 3 concerts in my life are 1) Depeche Mode, 2) Depeche Mode, and 3) Depeche Mode. One of the greatest live bands in history....hands down.
It's also rare to get to have a band almost you're entire life to age with. It's been a ride.
Love Depeche mode, I can remember going to see them many years ago when they first started out. Another band that will definitely get you dancing in your chair are the Swedish classically trained trio DIRTY LOOPS, They are JONAH NILSSON singer/ keyboard player with a great funky Michael Jackson/ Stevie wonder style voice, HENRIK LINDER, one of today's great bass players, and on drums the very underrated AARON MELLERGARD.I call their music "HAPPY FEEL GOOD MUSIC" 😊I first came across singer JONAH NILSSON in a collaboration video with my favourite guitarist STEVE VAI in a video called JONAH NILSSON-DIAMOND RING, a cameo guitar solo from Steve and also a cameo appearance from dirty loops manager and mentor the old legend QUINCY JONES, Quincy doing some unusual move's at the end of the video.(If anyone out there is not familiar with STEVE VAI steve was vote one of the top 10 guitar player's of all time, a great video to see steve in action at his usual greatness STEVE VAI INCREDIBLE GUITAR PERFORMANCE HD video. From the crossroads guitar festival.). DIRTY LOOPS do an UNBELIEVABLE version of Michael Jackson's THRILLER a collaboration with guitar player CORY WONG and his musicians, dirty loops recorded their part in Stockholm Sweden and Cory wong and his great horn section recorded their part in Minneapolis. once you've watched one dirty loops video you've will have to watch another and another. Another 2 great tunes from the Cory wong sessions are FOLLOW THE LIGHT ,and the unbelievable instrumental' TURBO' , GUARANTEED to get you up dancing, Can't wait to see your smile reacting to these amazing musicians. Then you've got to watch DIRTY LOOPS incredible studio video's starting with one of dirty loops fans favorite songs with a great title WORK SHIT OUT, great bass and drums from HENRIK LINDER and AARON MELLERGARD. Also have a look at the funny credits at the end of this song. Then have a look at WORLD ON FIRE, ROCK YOU, HIT ME, then the 8 minute long classic NEXT TO YOU, Jonah Nilsson's vocals with a hint of gospel will take you all the way to church and back, drummer Aaron Mellergard singing harmonies in the video A beautiful ballad you might have a few tears is the beautiful BREAKDOWN great vocals again from jonah Nilsson. Another 3 instrumentals with strange titles are SONGS FOR LOVERS COFFEE BREAK IS OVER, SONGS FOR LOVERS BITTEN BY THE KITTEN, and SONGS FOR LOVERS OLD ARMANDO HAD A FARM, again funny credits at the end of old Armando had a farm with pigs, sheep cows ect. remember all the songs the studio video's not live ones, and to finish off Jonah Nilsson sang Michael Jackson's BILLY JEAN for his mentor QUINCY JONES in PARIS, Quincy sitting at the side of the stage welcoming the musicians to the stage . Two bass players from way back in the Michael Jackson days RICHARD BONA and MARCUS MILLER. A few suggestions to start your dirty loops journey. best wishes from the north east coast of England.
Great reaction to a band I have known for 40 years. Enjoy the silence
Great performance by a legendary band, but what i liked the most was seeing Aileen being happy and smiling.
this was taken from my absolute team as music (DM) ..From Cluj...Romania..i,m old yor generation has more to discovrer!!don't know how much you like it and discover now when your young, or how much praises and follows for channel!..ever way..enjoy!!
You are so right Martin and Dave's voice are amazing they have always had tremendous harmony. Depeche Mode is just an amazing legendary band
I've seen Depeche Mode 5 times in concert, and each time was an incredible experience sharing in the love of their music with everyone. Absolutely incredible in person and they make it so interactive with the audience . A must see, and they return to L.A this year!!!!🙌🙌🙌 concert number 6, here I come!
So lucky.
Depeche Mode forever 🖤🖤
My mom made sure to show me Depeche Mode at 12 when I started listening to music. She knew this was gonna be the best for my starter kit
your starter kit love it
The most amazing group ever that I can never explain what genre they belong in. They stand alone! Enjoy the Silence everyone.
I think synthrock is the best description.
They're from Basildon, Essex United Kingdom. My hometown. They are so good
If you're feeling it this much just watching their live performance, imagine actually being there. Ive seen them multiple times and I cried my eyes out at every single show. You feel it through and through 🖤
This was filmed 10 years ago in Berlin. Depeche Mode is huge in Germany
their 101 live performance of Never Let me Down Again is pure energy
So awesome that new generations are exposed to Depeche Mode music. Their music is eternal and keeps on living by the fans. We need more DM fans to make this world slightly better
Depeche Mode are LEGENDS. Saw them live a couple years ago with my mother because it was one of her bucket list bands. Now we're going again this summer because you can never be sure how long a band of that age can still tour. The whole concert is a spectacle and Dave has an insane presence on stage. There's alomst no-one else who can act like he does without it feeling fake, but he makes everything feel natural. Like those spins around... in 99,9999% of Bands that would feel tacky but when he does it it's like "you, how else would you move at that moment".
Violator, 1990. Danced to it then, and right this very second. This is the good stuff!!!
I saw these guys in concert three times during the course of my childhood. Each time, I came out of it entranced, sweaty, spent, satisfied, half deaf, and with no voice. Legends.
I get to see them again this October!
In all seriousness, I think it’s tough to narrow Depeche Mode’s terrific song catalog at large down to a Top 10, or even a Top 20. This song is one of them, but other tunes like “Personal Jesus,” “Just Can’t Get Enough,” “Everything Counts,” “Dreaming of Me,” “Shake the Disease,” “A Question of Time,” “Walking in My Shoes,” “Dream On,” “Ghosts Again,” “Policy of Truth,” and the mind-blowing “Never Let Me Down Again” to name but a mere few among so many, also surprise me every time I hear them. Not to mention songs like those make me feel good when I’m feeling grouchy.
saw them perform this at "rock am ring" here in germany many years ago in 2006. over 80.000 people singing along was quite an experience.
I've been a fan since I was 8 years old - that was in 1983. For me there is no better band.
My first concert was when I was 18 and since then I've been to at least 2 concerts on every tour. Dave's energy is indescribable. The more the fans follow along, the better he gets and the bigger his smile will be! simply indescribable! Goosebumps from start to finish! For me they are simply the greatest!
Depeche mode is not a group,
Its a religion.
Loved your reaction.♥️
"Never let me down" live in paris - is one of de best live performances ever !❤️
Fan since 1983...you have 40 yrs to catch up...I just saw them again 3 weeks ago and Im still on cloud nine❤ DM is a religion😆great reaction!
Yeah being at a Depeche Mode concert is a whole experience. Some of the best concerts I´ve ever been too. Dave doesn´t have to sing the choruses anymore. The audience always sings for him. Personal Jesus is wonderful live. Everyone reaches out when he sings "Reach out and touch Faith" It´s glorious!
This is my favorite song since I was 11. It has carried me through some of the most beautiful and the most heartwrenching times of my life. What you see from David Gahan during this performance is gratitude. He went through heroin addiction, was clinically dead and brought back, and most recently, lost their friend and bandmate Andrew Fletcher, the "glue" that kept the band together. He and Martin L. Gore (the other bandmate he shouts out at the end) have had a long and rocky history because the latter is so introverted and softspoken that the far more exuberant Dave has had a habit of running roughshod over him. Dave is making a concerted effort to direct the spotlight away from himself. After all, it's Martin who writes the songs. I think it's beautiful.
I saw them two days ago in Berlin and it was again epic. They are absolute a live Band and they fascinated Millions of people. When 75.000 people singing the songs…… I’ts gorgeous ❤❤❤
I saw them 3 times in concert! Including this tour where you played this version of 'Enjoy the silence'. The last time I brought my husband, he had never seen them live! And now he understood my emotion every time I listen to it! this moment of communion where more than 20,000 people sing together! I cry every time I listen to this song!!
The album this song is from "Violator"....is insanely good every track is a gem x 😊
First saw them in 86, Dave spun in circles back then too… Just saw them a few weeks ago and they just keep getting better.
Truly enjoyed this reaction. Glad that you notice the love the band has for the audience and the music that made them be able to do this. Beautiful energy is recognized by beautiful people with said energy.
There's no better act to see. Your soul gets taken over. Dave captures the stage. Make sure you get to see them live at least once in your life!
This summer, I see them in the Golden Circle at Twickenham! First time I saw them in 84/85 at Wembley Arena, UK.
They've been a big part of my life. Fortunate to chat and shake hands with Peter Gordeno in 2021 when Dave Gahan was with the Soulsavers at the London Coliseum.
Huge fan since the first song on the first album (when Vince Clark was with them), and everything since. They were a major influence on bringing electronic and 'found' recorded (sampled) sounds to music. Later incorporated more rock flavor. Always awesome, seen them live many, many times, and yes, it is like a religious experience!
Having lived through the music of the 70s and 80s we had the best music in the world 🇬🇧 😊
Everything was good until in the 90s the government allowed record labels to buy all radio stations. Since then no more local bands were able to perform and compete locally. That wiped out so much creativity and diversity. Now record labels choose the artists, hire different musicians and sell you the product, everything sounds the same as they please. No more Depeche Mode, no more INXS, no more Roxette, No more B52's, no more U2, no more Culture Club, no more The Cars, no more Queen.
I've seen Depeche Mode multiple times live going back to the 90's (and as recently as a few weeks ago in Las Vegas) and it is absolutely what you said: an experience. There's nothing like it.
Depeche Mode fans really are the best fans in the world. A very diverse group of fans, many of them outsiders who have often felt alone or have gone through a lot in life, together as one, celebrating life. At least half of the people in the crowd would tell you Depeche Mode is their favorite band. It only took you a couple of minutes to figure out why.
The new world tour is incredible. They're better than ever. If you see one show this year, go see Depeche. You really will have the best time of your life.
I love Depeche Mode. Dave and Martin are two of my favorite people ever.
Really enjoyed your reaction! So glad you enjoyed the music and the performance. Go see them in concert...you won't regret it. Cheers.
Honestly, you just relaxing and vibing with this song is exactly how one should go with it and enjoy it. I’m happy just looking at you being happy
I feel sorry for you, you just now found DEPECHE MODE's ENJOY THE SILENCE???
I am a life-long Depeche Fan, every song, every single, every LP, everything...
Depeche Mode - The Soundtrack of my Life!
Thank you Dave and Martin for being with me in my lowest times and help me celebrate my highest levels of life! *DM4ER*
Dave was an animal on stage, an incredible frontman ......
he still is! I saw them live in Montreal one week ago, and it was fantastic!
@@stephanewantiez164 💯agreed
@@stephanewantiez164 so excited for Twickenham 🎉
Watching you react to this song put a smile on my face and makes me feel so happy
The dancing got u a sub❤. Depeche Mode( and other new wave)..the band the metalheads hated and got hated on for listening. I on the other hand, I loved them both. Grade 10 we had to get British LP imports in order to listen to them. Then grade 12 Personal Jesus hit it big and everyone was listening to them.
I see someone else who was feeling it. That's what it's all about. How music makes you feel and how you react to it. Makes the listener forget about the world for a few moments in time and mind travel anywhere. Anywhere but here and now. By the time you land and get back to reality, you walk away with that long lasting taste like when you just drank a good cup of coffee.
Personal Jesus official video is one of their best ones❤
I've seen them a few times. One of those times I think might have been this same tour. They had those same contortionist in the background. I got about half way though this song before I realised that that was a video of those contortionists. They stayed so still the whole time but you'd see them make slight adjustments or move their eyes. Depeche Mode puts on a great show, they have lots of great songs. Great band to catch
They've been my favorite band for 25 years. Have seen them a dozen times live. Always amazing.
You did a reaction of the gods. Another subscriber
DM is a English synth band there peak was probably 87-97. There biggest hits are "Personal Jesus, Enjoy The Silence People Are People. The song Everything Counts from there 101 tour the whole crowd sings along as well. I really enjoy "Behind The Wheel" from there 101 tour or Personal Jesus from there Devotional tour both songs are really loud and powerful
Their newest album Momento Mori is one of their best since Ultra in '97
Another song that the whole crowd gets involved is "Never Let Me Down Again". DM always performs this song on there tours. On the 101 tour it is where it all started my favorite is the concert at The Rose Bowl in California in the USA in front of 80,000 fans
SO fun watchin you groove to DM here Aileen! I am a hard core old metal head, but was young man in early 80’s and loved DM and I still do! More!!
I was familiar with them but never really a fan, then some years ago a friend of mine toook me to a concert. It was a transofmrative experience, they are the whole package: absolute top-tier showmanship and musicianship, paired with the irresistible joy and unending love for the music and the audience, you 100% feel how happy they are that you are there, just to dance and have fun toghether:)
Love your reaction to DM! I've been feeling the same thing since the 80s. They have that effect on people. Just saw them in April and they are still as powerful and emotional as ever.
The whole album of Violator is excellent.. My favorite is Halo .
Aileen it's so good to see you a younger generation enjoying some class music from my youth, Depeche Mode is one of those Classic gems that resonates through the decades and have been covered by so many artists proving that the quality in the music & lyrics are hypnotic, Thank God I grew up through the 60's,70's & 80's when he amount of music had a great diversity and are still used today in TV ads, Movies etc.
Hi, thanks for the reaction and praising this legendary band. I am enjoying their music for almost 40 years now and they still deliver quality. DM has influenced so many artists through the years. 'Never let me down again' and 'Blasphomous Rumours' are 2 of many you should see and since you like metal also, maybe check out also the covers from Rammstein (Stripped) and Marilyn Manson (Personal Jesus).
One of the best band ever
DM is one of the greatest live bands ever. such commanding stage presence. they are touring in the US this fall, can't wait! they have so many great live performances, also check out never let me down again, world in my eyes, walking in my shoes.
I live in Nashville TN and they have the cheapest tickets for the tour here. I grew up in Miami and glad there’s not a high demand here for them with all this country bs. $18 a ticket here. Every other city was like $80 or $100 each.
I first heard DM when I was 15 years old. Now I'm 55, but I'm still a fanatic...
Depeche Mode has literally been my favorite band since I was a young kid. I grew up hearing their music because of people in my family & I have been a fan ever since. They put on phenomenal live shows & their music is the best. Every album they've done, I've absolutely loved. Also, Martin Gore, the guy that was doing the backing/harmonizing vocals, actually does lead vocals on some of their songs, too. Some of my favorites that he sings are "A Question Of Lust", "Somebody", "I Want You Now" & "Home". He does others, but if you ever want to react to some he does vocals on, those are good ones to check out. I'd love to see more DM reactions from you, I think you'll love them so much the more you listen to them!
I cant wait to see them in Dublin🇮🇪 in June.
For me, one of the greatest bands to ever roam this earth.
So cool Aileen! Down the rabbit hole you go!
Your face was glowing all the time - lovely reaction :)
Welcome to the 80s when the best music was produced ;), in my opinion. I don't know your age but it's a decade with loads of music that needs to be re-experienced/discovered by the younger generation of music lovers, who have missed out on the history and experiences of music development. I was born in 1969 and grew up during this musical journey. Hope you continue your journey..... exploring great music. Love from Sweden.
över norden jag härskar
I don't care what any one say's Depeche Mode is one of the best bands of all time and most metal heads were closet DM fan's at least one time in there life.
Incomparable with the music of these times, at the forefront of sound and melody as always. Depeche Mode never fails
You need to do Depeche Mode - Walking In My Shoes live in Barcelona
Depeche Mode is the soundtrack of my life! And I think you found out why! Please do more... esp. Never let me down LIVE... this is pure insanity!
Wonderful reaction to a brilliant live video from DM :-)
Lacuna Coil does a neat cover of this song. They give it a little darker, more nostalgic makeover. It definitely falls in line with their branding. If you don't know them already, Our Truth is a great introduction track with a cool video.
Can’t go wrong with 80’s music, also, I love your energy and bubbly personality, along with your open mind to all kinds of music. Good luck on your journey
Creo que aún no estás preparada para escuchar Depeche Mode 😂 en mí adolescencia nos voló la cabeza y hasta el día de hoy a mis 50 años lo sigue haciendo ❤
100%прав!😊☝
Went to a Depeche Mode concert yesterday, with 15000 other people!
