I never thought a band could perfectly combine electronic, post-punk and alternative rock, until I listened to Depeche Mode. One of the best bands of all time!
I'm 14 and I grew up with Depeche Mode thanks to my dad. Last and this year, I went to Depeche Mode concerts and they were magnificent. I'm so happy that I got to see them, sadly, many of us "younger" people don't know this kind of music. I'm thankful to my parents for showing me 80s music and following!
I'm 14 too and I also grew up with depeche mode's music. My parents had some of thier albums and used to play them all the time. I heard one of thier songs recently (personal jesus) and it brought back the memories.
Depeche Mode= best band ever! They have a unique style , dark but magnificent electronic melodies, amazing lyrics and voices ( Dave's voice of course but also Martin's). They really are an incredible band. DM forever!
@@je23508 Hell yeah, they do. My first was in 1990. Ever since, every time they come to LA...lost count of the # of times I've seen them. Friend had a painting autographed by Gore at the Faith and Devotion tour.
I literally busted into tears, I can't believe how much Depeche Mode means to me and the fact that I'll be seeing them live in less than a month is just too good to handle. Thanks for existing DM, my favorite band, the best band ever!!!
I am a big DM Fan from the albums Speak and Spell in 1981 till Black Celebration in 1986. From 1987 it was not my style and to commercial for my ears. Martin Gore and his fucking guitar damaged the great Synthsound from the first years of their career.
Hardly an 80s band. They started in the 80s but had massive success in the very late 80s and early 90s. I never knew them from the Vince Clark, Speak & Spell days as I'm not in the UK. So much better with Martin Gore taking over songwriting duties. They are simply timeless.
I’m a metal fan slayer, Black Sabbath, Iron Maiden, I remember as a child I hated Depeche Mode cuz my sister would always play “ people are people” just can’t get enough and somebody nonstop, Then my brother became a fan he didn’t like the rock music I play and listen too, I took out a Depeche Mode cassette tape out threw it against the wall , LOL, till one day a girl came along with my sisters friend same age as me, She started singing “Somebody” I was so in love in with her, I became a Depeche Mode fan, LOL, spring 1990 I bought violator cd played it nonstop
To be fair, that stuff was so much more their poppy end… but when they started getting darker both musically and lyrically, that is when they started to get fucking really awesome.
Also not sayjng I don’t enjoy poppy. I have a quite expansive music pallet. I love shit Like Rainbow, priest, maiden, cannibal corpse, slipknot as well as bb king, rush, backstreet boys, john mayer, django reinhardt, Charlie parker, hank williams sr, buddy holly, cream, jimi hendrix, its a bit everywhere. Love music shamelessly, people who pretend not to like shit to seem cool or whatever are the REAL posers.
Great band, loved them in 1982 when i was 18 still love them today in 2019, talented musicians coupled with Daves unique vocals is a world class combination.....
A hugely influential band. Nine Inch Nails, Muse, heck, even Nirvana cited them as musical godfathers. Loved them since the start (I'm a 48 year old Englander) and I saw them at the London Stadium a coupla weeks back. They still carry that immense power and poise that only a very few, special bands have. And Dave Gahan is a total Rock God!
I totally agree with you! I'm a faithful fan from the very begining ( I'm also 48) and i love them to bits! I was 2 weeks ago at the concert in Manchester. They were in a perfect condition, full of brilliant energy, created a unique atmosphere full of amazing spirit in the air:)
And many others great bands in very diverse genres. For example the much regretted Chester Bennington from Linkin Park often mentioned DM were his favorite band ever.
I been a fan since Music for the Masses came out. By far my favorite band. 39 years old now, and have seen them 22 times in 11 countries. As big a cult following they have, they were never mainstream which sucks. They deserve more credit
BEST BAND OF LAST 31 LAST YEARS. Today I bought your Remixes 2. 81-2011. Thank you for a whole life with your awesome music. Best Wishes and long happy life to such a Genius ♥ Your Devotees are waiting for next TOUR!!! BESOS 101
I literally busted into tears when I saw Mojo doing a video on Depeche Mode. It’s like listening to your favorite band then having your parents wonder into your room, asking who your listening to cause they think it’s a ‘toe tapper.’ 😩
They were nominated in 2018 and were snubbed. I voted for them. But in retrospect, this band have always been non-establishment alternative gods to us fans. So I'm happy they didn't get in and freaking Bon Jovi did! Their legendary status is already part of the historical record. Dont need the RRHF to certify it for us.
Awesome group. Informed my entire teenaged years and still does. I have the violator album art tattooed bicep to wrist on my right arm and faithful and devoted on my left 👍
DEPECHE MODE are simply the best band ever. Martin is among the best songwriters ever in history. His lyrics have touched more people than most understand.
I love you Dave and yr band Depeche Mode yr music from past to present is Magical and Incredible and yr gifted from God with yr Amazeing Voice and good looks.all yr songs are GOLD!❤❤❤
I saw DM in concert when I was 20… 29 years ago…. and it will always be the best concert I’ve ever been to. I have always and will always love this band with all of my being!!!!!!! My fave songs are Halo, Stripped, I Feel You, Policy of Truth, Behind The Wheel, Little 15!!!!! But really, all of their songs are EPIC!!❤
When I think about my earliest days as a kid this band comes to mind. It was my brothers favorite band so I would hear it. I really have fond memories listening to them. Back then in a more simple time. It comforts and hunts me at the same time, it’s just scary because time goes by so fast. Bands like these and many more music influences inspire me as a music artist. I’m on my way, I want to touch people’s hearts with my music like this.,
i'm sorry vince clark, but i'm glad you left the band so soon AW, please come back i know you kept your in ear for drums you did not sell those 🙏 i will not go DM concert until AW comes back
Best Band Ever! Sensual, poetic and undeniably brilliant...their song lyrics and music live deep inside me and have for many, many moons. Dave Gahan is the very best frontman ever.
Geez mojo staff, were you all born in the 90s? It’s laughable for you to say the hit the big time in 1990. They were huge by the mid-eighties and even had a greatest hits album at that time you don’t seem to know about! Do your homework and not a cut and paste!
People are people became a number one hit in (west)Germany in 1984. This was the beginning of the success of DM in Germany. Every time when Depeche Mode are touring in Germany, their fans attend to their concerts in black clothes called “the black swarm” I can approve that because I saw Depeche Mode performing 2 concerts in cologne (the RheinEnergieStadion in 2017 and the LANXESS arena in 2018). I’m a huge fan of dm and my mother has been a fan since 1985 when she heard master and servant in a club/discotheque. DM you really are the best Lots of love ❤️ from Germany 🇩🇪
(She said one of the most popular electronic acts) He’ll woman Depeche Mode invented Electronic music!! Depeche Mode is timeless and Best Band Ever. Best Concerts I’ve ever been to and I’ve been to a lot.
Depeche Mode History can be summed up in two eras: Depeche Mode with Alan Wilder and Depeche Mode without Alan Wilder, guess which era produced ALL their hits?
I saw Depeche Mode for the first time in 2005 almost a decade after Alan Wilder left. I’ve seen them 6 times since. We’ll be seeing shows 7 and 8 this year. Home is a great post Alan Wilder song. So are It’s No Good, Precious and Wrong.
I love People Are People by DePeche Mode. reflects what i, a single woman in a college town go thru w/racism and judgmentality. Also love "Enjoy the silence and I just cant get enough"
I've seen their concert in Bratislava. They are great but majority of the songs they played were made in times of Alan Wilder. They would have never been so famous if it hadn't been for Alan. It hurts that he is not with them anymore. Such an intelligent and handsome musician.
...."Broken Frame", "Songs of Faith and Devotion" , ''Ultra" are one of my favorite albums of Depeche Mode and of course others songs, music from different albums of Depeche Mode....
I never thought a band could perfectly combine electronic, post-punk and alternative rock, until I listened to Depeche Mode. One of the best bands of all time!

@@rubydube7280 Definitely
Oh! That is great!! 👍👌
Shirokana - So so Cool.. : )
One of the best and most iconic pop band that ever existed.
Depeche Mode= best band ever! They have a unique style , dark but magnificent electronic melodies, amazing lyrics and voices ( Dave's voice of course but also Martin's). They really are an incredible band. DM forever!
juju chamcham yeah
This review does not then justice whatsoever
DM forever!!
Love Depeche Mode! They do a serious concert!!
@@je23508 Hell yeah, they do. My first was in 1990. Ever since, every time they come to LA...lost count of the # of times I've seen them. Friend had a painting autographed by Gore at the Faith and Devotion tour.

Did they play Enjoy the Silence?
I wish I could have gone back then!
@@FreeOpenTruth they are touring this year. You have a chance
My favorite band of all time. Fan since 1982.
I've only been a fan since 2016, but they have been my favorite band since then. I saw one concert during their Global Spirit Tour.
@@teamklaytron6194 nice, where?
Since 1987!
I am a big DM Fan from the albums Speak and Spell in 1981 till Black Celebration in 1986. From 1987 it was not my style and to commercial for my ears. Martin Gore and his fucking guitar damaged the great Synthsound from the first years of their career.
this bands sound has honestly aged well like fine wine.
Depeche Mode is the most epic synthpop band ever!!!
Stripped is such a perfect song.
Critikey damn right sir
Critikey love that song!.
"Perfect" is an underrates word for DM!
Especially the 101 live version!
A Question of Time also
U.k. singers were the best in the 80's and still are...From Florida
.
Best 80's band by far.
They've improved with each decade whereas many of their contemporaries are happy to belt out the same old songs.
Hardly an 80s band. They started in the 80s but had massive success in the very late 80s and early 90s. I never knew them from the Vince Clark, Speak & Spell days as I'm not in the UK. So much better with Martin Gore taking over songwriting duties. They are simply timeless.
Random Man yes yes the Smiths are one of my favorites too
Funny they are known as an 80's band but their most popular songs came out in the early 90's
Two words...... new order
My favorite band... EVER
Mine too!
same
Behind the wheel, Strangelove and World in my eyes are still some of my favorite songs to this day.
Me too
Love Strangelove! Such an amazing song!
Enjoy the silence is a damn masterpiece
Newcastle utd 1892 , I absolutely love that song, the video was dope too!!
Possibly my favourite song of all time.
my favorite .. totally agree
When I finally got to see them ❤
I recommend everyone give Susan Boyle's version a listen. It is really good.
The influence Alan brought made them what they are! Also, Martin's writing! ❤❤❤❤
This band was a huge part of my life! Thank you.

Chris Bano My favorite havymetal band is Iron Maiden my favorite band is Depeshe Mode.
But you have very interesting story.
U can love all of it...i loved maiden but also loved petshopboys,morrissey,ub40...
Love it all man.

I’m glad you saw the light. To be fair, Violator is when the edge (and heroin) entered the music
Great band, loved them in 1982 when i was 18 still love them today in 2019, talented musicians coupled with Daves unique vocals is a world class combination.....
I have been hooked since 1987. The first time I heard DM I was blown immediately. Soundtrack to my life.

There's a nice cover of "Never Let Me Down" by Smashing Pumpkins.
And many others great bands in very diverse genres. For example the much regretted Chester Bennington from Linkin Park often mentioned DM were his favorite band ever.
In Loving Memory of Andy Fletcher (1961-2022)
it makes me feel 20 years old how much has the music change and the world
I'm from Macedonia. Thanck you Depeshe Mode for all the good music and song's.
Depeshe Mode the best band ever.
I been a fan since Music for the Masses came out. By far my favorite band. 39 years old now, and have seen them 22 times in 11 countries. As big a cult following they have, they were never mainstream which sucks. They deserve more credit
Of course they used to have a mainstream phase around 1989-90.
I've followed this band since the beginning. Great band. X
I grew up listening to Depeche Mode. 25 years later to see my kids playing Depeche Mode is just priceless...
this moment, when you can sing to every song in this video.🌹 #devotee
same here was humming everything
The soundtrack of my life. Devotee forever 💜💜💜💜💜💜
My favorite band of all times. The soundtrack of my life.
I love this fucking band with my life
Same!
Depeche Mode: Gods of music. Masters of sound. Voices of angels.
BEST BAND OF LAST 31 LAST YEARS. Today I bought your Remixes 2. 81-2011. Thank you for a whole life with your awesome music.
Best Wishes and long happy life to such a Genius ♥
Your Devotees are waiting for next TOUR!!! BESOS 101
The day I discovered Depeche Mode changed my life forever
Just can't get enough always triggers good memories form my childhood.
I never realized until recently that Vince Clarke was songwriter for Depeche Mode, Yazoo, and Erasure. Man he created great music.
Empezaron en 1981.
Yo los descubrí, en 1982.
Desde entonces me han acompañado en mi vida.
El mejor grupo de la historia.
La perfección hecha música!
Depeche mode forever!!
Picked up some great reward while on vacation in canada as yoing teenager on the mid 80s..have never stopped listening.
Think about how they evolved so much over the years all while maintaining their distinct style. Incredible band.
I literally busted into tears when I saw Mojo doing a video on Depeche Mode. It’s like listening to your favorite band then having your parents wonder into your room, asking who your listening to cause they think it’s a ‘toe tapper.’ 😩
Other than Duran Duran, Depeche Mode is my fav band and I wish I lived as a teenager in the 80s wow.. 😩
Julia Fer - It was sooo much fun. I can’t tell you how many times I’ve seen Depeche Mode it’s been alot
Duran Duran peaked in the 80s and stayed in the 80s. Just like the most popular kid in high school.
How could you compare Depeche mode to garbage like Duran Duran.
@@MFCMG23 listen to their song 'the chauffeur'. Might change ur mind about them.
Depeche Mode did a lot of cool things in the 80s and now. It sad that Alan isn’t there. But at least we have a lot of his memorable work with DM.
Suddenly, I feel loved.
Depeche Mode should be in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame!!!
They were nominated in 2018 and were snubbed. I voted for them. But in retrospect, this band have always been non-establishment alternative gods to us fans. So I'm happy they didn't get in and freaking Bon Jovi did! Their legendary status is already part of the historical record. Dont need the RRHF to certify it for us.
They got in this year
One cant simply go through a history of DM in 7 minutes.
One simply has to live a life of DM.
Amen!
Gosh, almost every album has 1 or 2 acclaimed singles...amazing creativity in this legendary band!
Awesome group. Informed my entire teenaged years and still does. I have the violator album art tattooed bicep to wrist on my right arm and faithful and devoted on my left 👍

Depeche Mode, The Cure and Oingo Boingo are my top 3 favorite bands.

Wonderfull video and wonderfull group 👍
Love this band as well!!! Going to see them this year!!! So excited!!!

You need more than 7 minutes to cover this amazing group.
Truly!
Enjoy the silence is one of my favorite songs
Best band in the universe!!! Saw them a few months ago and they were incredible as u susal. Long live DM!!!!!
for me top 3 favorite Depeche Mode songs.
3 heaven

1 precious
For me:
1. Blasphemous Rumours
2. Master and Servant
3. Everything Counts
03 - Shine
02 - It's Called A Heart
01 - Shake The Disease

These mojo people are a joke...
One of the greatest bands of all time. Period.
I love Depeche Mode!! Dave Gahan is so hot when he was in his 20s to middle 40s lol I just had to say that :) Great band
Strange love, policy of truth, enjoy the silence, and shake the disease are constantly played. My favs!
My favorite band!!!!!!!
Mine too!

I love you watchmojo. You have a stellar taste in music
I second that!!
My favorite Depeche Mode song is Behind the Wheel.
still feels they're underrated
when you absolutely love every single song futured in this video
1:35 vs 5:06 😂😂
Bloody drugs!))
@@Bugsybag Those drugs are doing damn good job.
5:06 Is damn hot!
"Black celebration"..Soundtrack of my life and the album who came closest to perfection in music history
El mejor grupo de todos los tiempos, mi grupo favorito sus canciones son obras de arte.
Love Depeche Mode forever!
I worship the ground depeche mode walk on X
You should smell their socks than and lick the tv screen .

....All respect for composers Martin Gore and Alan Wilder, for soloist Dave Gahan and the rest of members of this music band....
My favorite band hands down!!!

Violator is a masterpiece
Saw them at the Barclay's a few days ago. It will easily be the best experience of this year for me.
