"You can't cater to trends, otherwise you're going round in circles." "We would have been finished long ago if we'd tried jumping bandwagons playing the kind of music that was fashionable." - the best advice to modern musicians.
So glad that the thing that Alan said right at the end of the video came true. They ARE important, and they will always be remembered as an amazing, innovative and influential band (especially their 80's era (and the beginning of the 90's)). And even though he's no longer in a band, I think he really appreciates the time they spent together and music they made.
I wonder who had the great idea of having this interview in that place. The soundtrack is like Black Celebration after 5:50. Quick, sample those skateboards!
Alan is far much clever in his reflection than the such stupid and narcissic David Gahan. DM died in the 90’s when they Start to produce and perform like american bands (And just after Alan left) . Now Their music sounds « empty » and often Boring.
