Just heard the news of Fletch's passing. So so SO glad he was able to celebrate this monumental milestone with everyone before he went. Rest in peace Fletch, thank you for all you've done for us as fans and for DM.
Agreed! perfectly said!
Absolutely. RIP Andy Fletcher
😭😭👍🖤🖤🖤🖤
Absolutely. What a loss :( RIP Andy
Yes! I was thinking the very same! Sadly, the RNRHOF has been far too late with getting many deserving bands inducted in. There's still many great bands from the 60's and 70's to still get inducted and many of the members have passed on. Depeche Mode is one of my favorites bands and a very unique band. Well deserved Depeche mode! R.I.P. Andy Fletcher!
DAVE: "Music saved us".
US: *Your* music saved many of us too mate. 💙
@Theodisc Absolutely 👍
🥰🥰🥰
So true 😉
DM music saved me. Congratulations lads and thanks.
It absolutely did.❤❤❤❤
'You'd still have been stealing cars, Dave', classic Fletch.. Rest in peace lad, you were DM's tower of strength.
Yes indeed, he makes me laugh too. Still Steeling cars 😄😄
I wonder if these guys truly understand how special their music is. There's no way they can ever understand the impact on my soul. On my heart. Rest in peace andy. You are legend!!!!!!!!
they are the reason the universe exists
Fletch seemed like a great guy!
Absolutely ❤
They couldn’t understand.
Amen
I feel the same way! There's no way to express in human language how they've touched and changed me.
They deserved way more, like a proper ceremony, with red carpet, interviews, live performance... Damn covid
TWO of my favourites this year! DM and NIN! Damn Covid couldn't hit a year with duller bands!
So true
I agree to 100%!
Fully agree..Hopefully they can do a belated ceremony later on...
You re right 👍😉🇨🇭
I respect Dave for acknowledging Alan Wilder's contributions which was pivotal in creating their unique sound, especially evident on Violator.
Shows what a decent Charakter he is even after all those years..DM is a role model how to behave when famous.
There is a reason why they will be forever!!!
Mamador
Vince Clark
Alan&Vince
huge respect to dave for that, although i will acknowledge that he's always been hugely complimentary of him, and out of all members alan was probably closest to him - probably the only member alan would consider a friend. martin's always been a bit uncomfortable talking about the circumstances of his departure (although ultimately recognises how important he was), and andy... well, he's always come off as a petty and resentful dick about it and likes to make it seem that alan was just bitter that he wasn't getting paid more than him
Rest In Peace, dear Fletch. Thank you for being a part of the background soundtrack for many of our lives for decades. Glad you were able to experience these RRHOF induction. Rest easy, mate.
Yes, well said. Andy Fletcher/ Depeche Mode truly has been a part of the background soundtrack for many of our lives.
@@lulaloo Alan Wilder . fletch wasn't musically talented but still rip
Classy of Dave to give kudos to Vince Clarke and Alan Wilder. Glad for Fletch to receive this honor before he passed😊
Without alan they wouldnt be where they are for sure
@MrakodrapSK Jen doufám, že si to chlapi dobře uvědomují. Dave jako správný gentleman ho sice zmínil spolu s Vincem (aby učinil dobrým způsobům zadost), ale zjevně Alana ani moc nepřemlouvali, aby se k nim přidal na ten slavnostní proslov…
Martin's smiles are like sunshine through a cloudy day.
he looks so much better natural without that horrible black-eyes-paintings he used to wear on stage....:-)
I would press like, but now it is 101. :DD
He had his teeth fixed
Oui, même avant qu'il les fasse refaire, il avait déjà ce sourire solaire 😁😉 ! Yes, even before he made them fixed, he always had this solar smile 😁😉
Very true 👍🏻
Classy move by Dave to thank Alan and Vince. Makes me love these guys all the more after all these years.
Alan was inducted too, he just didn’t participate in the call
@@basehead617 that's a shame.
Without Alan Wilder, Depeche Mode is just another rock band.
@@basehead617 As Vince Clarke didnt
THE MOST BRILLIANT BAND OF ALL TIME 🖤
@1banana2kiwis I side with the girl.
@1banana2kiwis Her thoughts and choice, don't be a dick!!
Yes!
Oyeessss,and Legend!!
Everyone in the world has to have at least one song on at least one playlist. Or if you're like me, numerous dedicated playlists of only DM material. I've bought all their material at least three times over the decades, starting with cassettes, then CD's, and now digital downloads LOL. Think about it though.
Martin is such a delight. His lyrics cover so many emotional topics: love, lust, passion, greed, envy, even death, heaven and hell, life, you name it, his lyrics cover a very broad palette and yet……the man is so delightful and cheery and smiling and joking in every clip I’ve seen. RIP Andy. Amazing man, and Dave you are a mountain of strength. Overcoming addictions and being a light for many to follow. Watching these guys horse around never gets old. Love DM. Very excited for the new album, Memento Mori. ✌🏼
Depeche Mode influenced a whole generation of electronic music. So deserving! Congrats!
Not only electronic music, but alternative rock in general.
I just cannot believe they were not inducted earlier...
Thats true Vince Clarke, and Alan wilder are dépêche mode too. excellent Dave to mention thèm in Your speech. It make You bigger that You already are.
That means they are inducted too
👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼✨
Biggest sounds of DM were by AW so would have been unacceptable not to mention him tbh.
Dave was the member closest to Alan and I remember Dave mentioning many years ago that he should've fought harder for Alan to stay in the group, but Dave was fighting his own demons back then and Alan made his choice..
I love Depeche Mode 🤩 Congratulations to Dave, Martin, Andy, Alan, Vince. Thank you for all these years of good music and for being part of my life 💕
Andy Fletcher's death is a true loss for all the greatest fans like me, who follows this incredible band since I was a little kid. You'll be missed a lot, Fletch. 😢💔
David wakes up in a leather jacket.
What a cool dude
He’s one of those people, doesn’t have to try . ..
The boys definitely haven't lost their beauty, they're still as handsome as ever. They all have aged like a fine delicious wine. I absolutely love Depeche Mode and have loved them for many years now. Wonderful in every way. 😁😊💖💕🥰 xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
In fact David never looked as attractive as now!
dave is still fine
🥇🥇🥇👑👑👑👍👍🌟
Fletch and Martin look aged. Dave is de-aging 🤣
Congratulations. A little late, but everything counts.
DM лучшие!!!
In large amounts
@@Fisk3R 😂🤣😂.... I started singing the same lyric ! 😂😂😂
Never late for anything 😛
Yes!
I still can't believe Fletcher passed away. It was out of nowhere. At least he had the chance to enjoy the induction. Godspeed Andy!
60 is to early, but heaven has got now a wonderful musician. RIP, you will be remembered by many.
It really is so sad. Sooooo many people are dying suddenly lately from those poison shots!!
@@mauryknows200 You got that one right... Sad that no one seems to put 1 and 1 together...
@@danielthommen8243 It’s so obvious! My sweet and smart 18yr old triple vaxxed niece has been in and out of the hospital for the past 3 weeks for circulation problems and she had 2 surgeries for 2 different blood clots!!!
@@mauryknows200 Yeah, sure, before the vaccine no 60 years old ever died of a heart attack. Hell, even my 56 years old neighbor died suddenly from a heart attack in 2019.
Life without Depeche Mode would be a mistake!
Hats off m Stella, you describe my thoughts in one phrase
Dave takes the lead, Martin laughs and smiles, Fletch claps his hands. They're all doing what they do best. Seeing these boys trying to Zoom absolutely made my day. Love you guys!
DM Boomers? Nah- the Eagles are boomers. DM belongs to the generation that followed.
Its heart breaking to see Depeche Mode accept their induction to the Rock & Roll Hall Of Fame this way. But very happy as well because they simply deserve to be inducted.
Totally agree!
Lol they're not even rock n roll just one of the many insipid new wave trash from the eighties. What a farce
@@maxrav1831 you don't have to be a rock band to get inducted in RRHOF. There's a lot of pop artists in there
@@maxrav1831 Max, may you find peace and happiness in your life one day. There was no need to trash someone cause you don't like them or their music. We all have different tastes for music, food, sports and what not. Hope you're doing good m8.
Maybe in a RRHOF anniversary concert they could perform.
Very happy that Fletch got a chance to hold this trophy - what a legacy! What a band! They gave a soundtrack to my life... till this day. My heart breaks. RIP Andy.
Fletcher’s house has a nice interior.
That ceiling light is beyond cool
Amazing the payoff for just clapping your hands and eating bananas. Jk love DM
Fletcher's hotel has nice suites, I'd rather assume :)
Hotel ?
@@M.1607-h9n exactly. I believe he’s at his home in London
Congratulations guys. My brother passed away a week ago and he was a Big DM fan!!! Some of his favorite albums were
Violator
Songs of Faith and Devotion
Ultra
black celebration and many more...
Keep playing in his memory 😊😊😊
Sorry to hear that , may he RIP
Hey, came to the comments to see all the love Fletch and of course DM were getting. God bless your brother, you and the rest of your family. ❤️🙏🏽
Extra special thanx to Alan Wilder for contributing to shaping the unique sonic landscapes that set DM apart of the pack.
Abso-Fckng-Lutely My Friend !!!!!!!!
Don’t forget about Vince Clarke...
@@tavi1814 Yes! Thanks to Vince for leaving the band!
Exactly! Their thanks to him wasn’t big enough.
Agreed. Vince molded the DM sound and Alan took it from there and sculpted a fucking masterpiece out of it.....still not sure what was or is Fletch's contribution to the band, but happy to see he was the most excited and enthusiastic about the award Lol
Not only was the world deprived of Depeche Mode performing because the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame FAILED to reschedule the show/telecast until the following year, but both VINCE CLARKE and ALAN WILDER disappointed the fans and legacy by FAILING to show up for their acceptance speeches (probably due to Dave, Fletch and Martin FAILING to reach out and convince them). All of it is sad.
Dave Gahan lived long enough to get inducted into the R&R Hall of Fame. With all the ODs he went through to get here, props to the guy.
Dave hair...this guy just can’t stop being so cool!!!!
Even.letting it grey now look good
He is so fucking cool for sure!
Yes, he`s looking great!
I'm not gay or anything but ide dump my boyfriend for him...... 🤔?
🤭
A truthful, humble, funny, no b*shit, sassy speech. They were and still are so great. Honestly, most of the artists give so much fakeness when they receive these awards, it's good to see them being themselves as always
Indeed a great speech of gratitude. Smiles and laughs were soo good to hear. They rock it. Congrats!!! God bless them!
Would loved to have seen Alan Wilder and especially, Vince Clarke.
Where has the time gone?
Vince had already said that he wouldn't take the stage with the band (had everything been normal), even though he was inducted with them and presumably had every right to. He said that he was only with them for a short time, meaning that he is being given too much credit. Of course he's right in a way, but I think considering all points and the big picture, DM would never have existed or gotten anywhere without him. Ideally, in my mind, Vince would have performed one of the songs he wrote with the band, but that was never going to happen anyway since it would be too embarrassing for him, I think, since he had left the band before long.
As for Alan, he probably didn't show for similar reasons. Although obviously he was with DM for their most important albums and years, they are still a going concern, and have been together a lot longer without him than with him. But still, I personally think that ideally all five of them would have been on stage, or given COVID-19, part of this Zoom call. Then again, if I were Vince or Alan, I might not feel right about it, myself. I'm glad they both got a shout-out and thank you from the band, at least.
Still.time for Alan to come back.to DM if they chose that.
Congratulations DM!!.. I'm fan since 1986..
alan wilder is the key to dm.those 3 clown doesn't deserve that,fletch should be ashamed of not doing anything for 40 years in dm
Así es Alan Wilder debió estar también 😭
Well deserved gentlemen! Your music has touched millions of us and in every corner of this planet, there is someone who is a total DM devotee. Why is that? Because your music is so unique and the lyrics of your songs are so powerful. Through every decade since the 80's, you have taken us on a journey of emotions. You have been the soundtrack of our lives. I can probably speak for everyone who is your fan that the moment we hear one of your songs, we are taken in, everything around us stops and we are one with the song. Through time, you have evolved into a better version of yourselves. David's voice is more resonant, Martin's lyrics continue to move the soul and Fletch is the backbone that keeps things in balance. You have maintained your musical integrity and you have delivered in every of one of your albums. You had me at "Speak & Spell" all the way to "Spirit". For as long as you tour, I will be there, singing every lyric to every song. Congratulations !!!
Very well spoken!
Perfect!
100% Alan should been in with them.
Abso-Fckng-Lutely My Friend !!!!!!
Yes cause he is one who did that peculiar music
Vince and Alan are both in. Their names are mention in the Rock Hall website.
Wow, Depeche Mode has and still is part of the musical soundtrack to my life.. so glad I saw the Global Spirit Tour.
RIP Andrew Fletcher
Glad that they mentioned Vince, Alan, Daniel Miller, Mute Records, and others.
Absolutely agree! It speaks so well about them, in my opinion. I love them, though!
@Aaron Soto Aguero Alan Wilder deserves it way ahead of of Vince Clarke
@@hippriest9448 You probably right. They should’ve invited Alan.
I thought exactly the same
And Christian Aigner who brings the programmed rhythm to life
Enjoy the Silence, World in My eyes, Halo, Clean, Dangerous, its no good........................and many many songs that I forgot the titles to but would start singing along as soon as the song is played .
This was my brother's favorite band, he passed away 4 years ago and EVERYTIME I play one of their songs in my car, I'm suddenly transported back In time when he used to play their songs while I'm in the car with him. Always missed and never forgotten.
I am so happy to watch this. They are so funny that they look more like friends than a really famous band.
Rest in Peace Fletch!🖤
So sad I can't believe it. I thought Andy would be the last to go. Andy was the grounded guy that held the band together with his funny impromptu clapping. Thanks Andy you'll be sadly missed.
Martin’s laugh is the best feature in interviews and documentaries 😂🤣
I love Depeche Mode....congratulations.....thank you for all these years of good music and for being part of my life.....from Italy with love
Martin was very shy in the early years but when he spoke he surprised with a deep east end accent.not what you'd expect.
@@glennoc8585 And nice teeth.
in one of the old videos (I think it's Strange Love) he cracks a great looking smile
Son sourire et un soleil ☀️😁
"A bunch of outsider, eyeliner-wearing weirdos from Essex!" - that's classic.
Martin Gore best laugh ever. Just do an online show of him laughing!!!! 😂😂😂
Hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha
Depeche Mode have become a part of my soul. A lot of respect to Dave for mentioning past band members and for not forgetting them. It was heartwarming. Thanks Dave. Thanks Alan for everything you did for Depeche Mode. Congratulations guys, I love you.
😍😍😍😍поддерживаю
The Cure have become a part of my soul! Gotta see them for the first time in Seattle, Washington this year. But I’ll start listening to Depeche Mode too. I’ve heard nothing but great things about this band!.
I can't even start to explain how much I love Martin. Martin is the soul of Depeche Mode 🙌🏻
I love you then
Martin is the soul of music! 🎶
I remember Martin 1st solo album, love it!!
You are correct! Martin Gore is a god....well they all are 🖤🖤🖤
You are so right! I love his lyrics..and when he sings songs..💜
Thanks for everything, Fletch, it was probably you more than anything else that got the band to this point. xo
Congrats to a band that has been a significant part of my musical life since the 1980s, blending darkly romantic lyrics and electronic soundscapes that very few other bands of their genre could match. I love seeing the camaraderie among this trio. If they have another album in them, would love to see Alan Wilder come back in some capacity (either full member or producer), but perhaps that ship has long sailed. Anyhow, kudos to one of the greats.
I'm so glad all three were able to celebrate the achievement together. Fletcher will surely be missed 😢
20 years late, but hey, at the end, they were recognized and that's the most important thing
Today's poll: We covered the first half of the 80s, how about the second half? Out of the following +9X Platinum mainstream rock albums of the last half of the 80s, which do you consider to be your all-time favorite song by song? Check out our artist grateful moments and an all new interview piece with a legend coming out today.
Give Alan the Credit, more Credit, people relate with his work mostly...peace
very true....he deserves so much more!
Mostly no, it’s Martins songs they relate with. He’s the one who wrote the songs Alan was good with production and organization. But the real skill, the real gift, the real thing that matters is the ability to write great songs
Martin Gore is the overall substance behind the band.
@@scipio8866 we all can hear how Dm sound without Alan. The songs sound like demos. There are no one to make them shine.
@@michaldankulinec Disagree. If Alan was so good then why isn't he more successful as a solo artist? Also, Ultra was an effing amazing album. Exciter was more of a sleeper hit in part because Martin didn't want to make that album. Gore's songs were already fully formed when he presented them to the band. Alan was a good producer but really it's Gore's genius that has taken the band to where it is. Some fans give Alan way too much credit; it almost like he wrote the songs when Martin did the hard work.
DM was never the same without Alan Wilder. Martin may have wrote the songs, but Alan turned them into masterpieces.
true but I think you would have to add Gareth Jones and Daniel Bascombe (sp?) and also Flood to that list of what created the architecture of their classical sound. Those producers were incredible.
1:31 David Gahan: " Because I don't know what the hell I would have been doing if I didn't find music to be quite honest."
Andy Fletcher: "You would have been still stealing cars Dave."
I remember sneaking into my older brother's room in the basement to use his stereo when he was out one night. I hadn't really formed my musical tastes yet, pretty much listened to his stuff (zeppelin, black sabbath, the Who). I was sweeping the dial and came upon the chorus of Blasphemous Rumours on CFNY 102.1 (Toronto). I was transfixed. I had no idea who was singing, but it formed the bedrock of my obsession with the genre. Thank you for putting your soul into mechanical music and making something new for so many years. We love you.
Toronto represent! 🍁
CFNY played music you couldnt find anywhere else, in their form now the station isn't as exciting.
CFNY FTW.....shame what happened to it though...
Radio is Shite, now. How I miss pre 92 Alternative Radio!
It's about freakin TIME, tho! Huge congrats to these legit legends...Shout out to the brilliant Mr Wilder as well ❤️🏆 I gotta go watch the SOFAD Live DVD now 😌
It's not about time. It's never about time to introduce non rock artists into the ROCK N ROLL HALL OF FAME. I love Depeche Mode, but this is a strecht and a joke. xD

I love the fact that they thanked and credited Vince Clarke and Alan Wilder, even still saying they are apart of the DM family and history...that was very nice of Dave to say that.
It would have been nice to see Vince and Alan joining them in this video chat. It would have made my year, believe me.
Эх Депеш Мод мое детство моя молодость .как же я Вас люблю и обнимаю.
Они классные, классные все Вместе,!
Это не детство!!! Они на протяжении долгих лет с нами! И дай Бог им здоровья!
Dave, you keep getting hotter and hotter as each year passes. I sure hope to see you all in concert again. I was introduced to your music in the early 90's when i went to a concert that a friend had dragged me to. And ever since then, I have been a devoted fan. I had to buy all the albums to get me up to speed. Went to every local concert then. I even went solo when you were touring solo. Personally one of my favorite concerts since i got to be right in front. Congrats on making it to the rock and roll hall of fame, long time coming and well deserved to each of you.
I love you cat

RIP Andy "Fletch" Fletcher!! Legend. Definitely be missed.
Alan Wilder should have been in this video inspite of not being with this band for so long
He created what we know as sound of Depeche Mode
alan wilder got the shaft he deserves this as much as they do
genuine dudes. You can tell after all those years they still can get along as friends
You are so right. Wished more people were like this. This world would be a better place. Thank's for your comment.
Love their natural chemistry and Dave - wow still gorgeous.
Dear Depeche Mode, I traveled far to see my first live DM concert, it was during your World Violation Tour 1990. I was 17 years old, I had no ticket in my hands, couldn’t buy ahead of time, same for a ticket in front of the arena, as nobody wanted to sell (also no internet back then). I was desperate, sad to travel thousands kilometres, being so close and not being able to get that golden piece of paper. However, out of nowhere, some guy approached me and asked if I wanted to distribute DM merchandise leaflets inside of the arena up to the very start of concert after which he would give me a special pass for a concert. I did my part and merch guy gave me a special yellow rounded sticker tag, with which I was able to get almost anywhere in the arena and enjoy your concert. What a turn of events. Dear DM, congratulations and simply Thank you, thank you for your music. Love
Congratulations God smiled on you that day
You guys were in my ears my whole teenage years and still in them 30 years later , a belated Congratulations, just a heartfelt Thank You
Well deserved. A band that no one way back when, (even themselves, probably) would have pictured in that moment. They are the underdogs and outsiders who persevered, survived and thrived, and never strayed from their vision. An awesome catalogue of great albums, songs and sounds. Quality control. True masters of electronics. Thanks, boys for all the great memories you have given me and my friends in our lives.
Definitely. They were always outsiders. Never were in the mainstream, even as big as they were. Always underrated and hugely influential. Was way overdue
Dave still looks awesome.. I dont know why but that makes me feel less old lol
That's right,perhaps the drugs abuse help him,,,on other side Martin Gore looks very skinny, that's why he looks like 70 instead 60...
So so glad there was an mention to Alan !! ❤ Love and miss you Alan
Who else are watching this video to remember Andy after his death?
RIP, Andy!!!
I was bought “speak and spell” along with “dare” by the human league for Christmas in 1981 for my Walkman and I wore them out. Loved DM ever since. Congrats to you all.
Don't forget in 1981 Heaven 17 and their Debut Album "Penthouse and Pavment" .😉🙂
Depeche Mode are my personal heroes. Been a fan since “Everything Counts” and they kept me going through high school. I stood in line in LA on March 13, 1990 to meet them for the release of “Violators” only to have it ruined by a insane lawless crowd. However, I loved their World Violator Tour later that summer. I’ve seen these guys 6 times and they never fail to impress. Dob’t stop the music lads. It would’ve nice to see Vince and Alan there too. At least Dave recognized their contributions to their achievements! Brilliant!
Fan since DREAMING OF ME/ice machine. Everything Counts video is great look at Dave's face he's really into it
Coulden t say it better , thx .
I was there too! It was so crazy
I was one of those in line that day!!!
@@bratsbaby Remember when LAPD came out in riot gear? Scared the hell outta me.
I wish Alan Wilder was there and I hope the four of them play together again as always
I guess this was the last time Fletch appeared in public. I'm so glad that he was able to celebrate this moment with Dave and Martin before he left this world 2 years later. Again, what a missed opportunity that we never had a proper reunion with all former members- if only they had given this honor before the pandemic..
I'm 38 years old. My older sister (10 years older than me) is my influence for my love of music.....especially Depeche Mode. She was the first one to take me to one of their shows. I was 16. I held my chest and cried during their WHOLE epic performance 🤣🤣🤣 10 years down the road....I see them again. Reacted the same way! Cried like a baby. My love for Depeche Mode goes way above and beyond my love for music. You guys are the best and will always be a huge part of me. I'm an addict (clean for 10 years). I'm also bipolar 1 and I tend to get in deep deep depression. You guys always pull me out of that. You deserve this more than anyone out there. I love you and will always have never ending appreciation for you as people and as musicians.
Thank you from the bottom of my heart

Depeche Mode... simply THE BEST.
Dave is just as charming as I would have imagined.
Dave is one of the sexiest men alive!
My god, yes!
So am i
His charisma & sex appeal just flows without trying .
Indeed, but I think there should have been a little more Wilder, and not equating his role to Vince Clark's; EVERYONE knows it's the Wilder years (AND the Alan Wilder ...influence) that they live on to this day and that, ultimately, got them finally inducted.
Barely mentioned? He should've been on the zoom. 🤨
I guess u forget clarke wrote 95% of the first album and gave then their 1st hit just can't get enough!
@@michaelbruno1330 I didn't forget Clark's role on their first album, I'm just dismissing it a little bit. Yeah, it got them started, but it was the 5 albums (Some Great Reward, Black Celebration, Music for the Masses, Violator and Songs of Faith & Devotion) that I think MOST people would argue are their essential legacy. On each one Alan Wilder played a larger and larger role in the shaping and making of.
Ultra was great, too, but I think that's mostly because it was the first one without him and they had a lot to prove (also, it took like 37 producers to help make it happen). I don't think they've made a truly great album since, and that's almost 25 years; and the songs that MOST people are still wanting to hear at their shows are from the 5 aforementioned albums that 'made' them.
So yeah, I think Vince Clark deserved mention, but Alan Wilder deserved a lot more: in their induction but ALSO (& especially) during his time in the band; the credit he was due and never received.
Totally agree, Clark was there for "Just can't get enough" and first album, but Wilder trully developed their sound and not being here is just sad... They don't have to perfrom or meet in person due to pandemic but the very least, he should have been in this call :( I'm disappointed.
@@jlwilder8436 i couldn’t agree more. i love depeche mode alan years. i only tolerate them now because of the legacy he left. last time i saw them just made me hella depressed. oh well, it is what it is. i’m glad that they were able to continue on with success, but sans alan it doesn’t mean much to me.
Without Alan Wilder they would have bombed within 2 years after Vince left and I was an obsessed DM fan from 81. Just look up how much Alan did for them, not just as a gifted pianist and drummer but the hours he and Daniel Miller/ Gareth Jones spent tirelessly on each album in the studio to craft some of the most distinct and timeless albums of the early 80s.
CONGRATULATIONS!!!!, We so proud of you!!, Depeche Mode we love you!!, receive all our love from México 🤘🏻🎸🥳
Enjoy the silence, Mr. Fletcher! 😢💔
Where is Vince Clark?
Where is Alan Wilder?
Come on boys. Congrats.
I think the guys wanted to involved them and ask both.... Maybe they won't. They mentioned them and they meaned it as they said it and they called them family.
I doubt either was even asked, although they are on good terms with Vince.
So many years, I listen to depeche mode... it is like the soundtrack of my life. Thanks a lot
Alan Wilder was always the hidden gem in that band. His musicianship skills, his great backing vocals. There was nothing the guy couldn't do. Their music just wasn't the same after his departure.
true
As much as I do think they went on to make some great music later, that they stopped taking production credits for their albums after Wilder left is telling.
Absolutely.
I agree. Like a high performance engine missing a cylinder or two. Still goes, but doesn’t rev to its full potential.
Home from "Ultra" has become one of my favorite post-Wilder tracks. Martin is fantastic.
So glad that Fletch was able to live long enough to see this day RIP 🌹
Congratulations Alan Wilder, you created the legend, it's a shame you couldn't be part of this video.
if it wasn't for this fucking pandemic. alan and vince would play with the band one more time.
люблю вас ребята)) здоровья вам , всех земных благ! я рад что живу с вами в одном времени)
Omg David, you're so handsome!
RIP my friend Andy! So so sad and heartbroken....
They need to do what Nine Inch Nails did and induct all the different members then have a conversation that was a great video.
NIN didn’t induct every past member, nor did they talk to the excised after. Alan and Vince got inducted...Vince already said he wasn’t attending because he didn’t really think he deserved it, and I honestly think Alan may come back for one last album/tour.
The guys looked genuinely happy and proud. I did wonder if they would be too cool to acknowledge the award. About 30 years late but we'll deserved.
Now that both Rush and Depeche Mode have made it in, I don't have many complaints left!
@@blueshattrick 2013 for Rush! Unbelievable.
Dave is so cool, he was born with blond highlights and wearing a leather jacket.
That's gray hair, not blond highlights.
@@sarcasticallyrearranged I was referring to young Dave, i.e. the cover of Catching up with DM. Sorry if I wasn't specific enough for you.
Wow Dave bedankt sich bei Vince und Alan. Das ist echt großartig. Und nochmal Danke das ihr mich durch meine ganze Jugend begleitet habt und für eure tolle Musik ❗🖤🌹
Dave Gahan is clearly the "Dorian Grey" of rock and roll
I guess he doesn't age during the time he's legally dead.
Ah oui, quand même ! Et pour Martin ?
