Depeche Mode - Interview for MTV Europe (Dave Gahan & Alan Wilder, 22nd February 1989) 

Hi guys, check the exclusive interview with Alan Wilder, related to the release of SubHuman album. We did it in 2008. depechemodeforum.pl/viewtopic.php?f=25&t=6711 🔥

I love the fact ONLY Dave and Alan are here. Alan is absolutely incredible and so intelligent and talented. His talent really lifted Depeche Mode to the next level. To the stratosphere.

Alan Wilder embodies Depeche Mode. He is a talent. He has the look. I mean he just fits in every way. Alan will forever be considered as part of the Depeche Mode family. I am glad DM is in the Rock n Roll Hall of Fame and Alan is in it, too.

Alan's the actual heart of Depeche Mode ))

Their golden age. Guys I'm sorry but Depeche Mode has felt and will always feel *incomplete* without Alan Wilder. I'm a late 90s kid btw

The good old days when you turned on MTV after school and you actually saw artists that mattered who played music that had substance. David Gahan and Alan Wilder were and still are my favorite members of Depeche Mode. Thank you for posting this 🖤🖤🖤

Martin, Dave & Alan coming together again, a girl can dream...

The interviewer asks good questions and does not interrupt them, she lets them talk. (We love you Alan, please come back). ❤💘💥xxxx

Alan Wilder.

Alan❤️

I love Dave's laugh at 2:29 such a lad :')

David Gahan was the only one who felt some respect and appreciation for Alan Wilder

I like that they are walking around for this interview, it has character and isn't in some sterile studio. Not to mention they are walking in areas where they would collect sounds, and you can actually hear the types of things they would record.

Props to the camera guy for walking backwards throughout the interview and keeping the subjects in frame.

Construction Time Again sounds in the background XD

Alan's style is so iconic! It's always a joy to see old interviews with him. Miss him terribly! 🖤❤️

Bring Alan back!!! Make one more Violator Great album for many more generations ahead!!

Going down a DM rabbit hole this weekend after Andy's death. This is one of the loveliest things I've seen so far, thanks for posting.

To me the band ended when Alan left so to watch this interview is a great reminder of just how cool they were, also shot near Alan's manor!!

Dave's speaking voice is exactly the same like singing voice.

Despite the time of this interview they were already on front of music industry and still ordinary people, I m very impress how mature and fluence are in opinions, and how good analyse what rounds them. Today artists seems to be far from that normality and hard to get for a simple city-walk interview.

the first song by DM was Somebody, I heard it for the first time around 1986. Then I became interested in their music. I quickly identified with the sound, but the whole thing touched me. Alan's work put an undeniable amount of effort into it and was so unique from album to album. I was very sorry when he quietly left the band. I have a constant feeling of missing! The new albums are not bad, nor will they be as big hits as the songs created during his time. Martin was a genius but Alan was the implementer. Maybe we should have put up with it a little longer, but we can't know that. with each new album I hope to call him. Martin or Dave, but no... and time passes .. I am sincerely sorry that not even now. An Italian female sound engineer and a possibly English guy are working on the new album. I do not know.. I'm sad but I have to admit that we won't see Alan working with them again. This is...

For those not fortunate enough to be around at that time. This was the pinnacle time for DM. You look at Dave, that's his rockstar look. He was super popular around the girls and has to put on the cool rocker looks all the time. A lot of women actually prefers Alan actually but he is so cool about it. DM is one group where almost every member looks sharp.

I love this interview, and their voices

Me encantan pero mucho más mi amor Alan lo amo😍😍❤️❤️💋💋💋💋💋❤️❤️❤️❤️

Damn those kids don't care or likely don't even realize that there is Electronic Music Royalty walking right next to them!

We love Alan!!🖤

"We try to work with people that we admire.." That's clever...

Great interview, unique band and sounds, can hear the hammers in the back ground get the tape recording out love it, construction time again.

32 years ago. Shocking

Great interview, thanks for uploading! :)

DM+BMX=my childhood

Thanks to me

Vince didn't like the interviews and touring, so he created Erasure, where he, ya know, did interviews and touring.

Woow no inventes! mis 2 amores platónicos Dave y Alan😍😘😗 ❤❤

oh yes! Remember seeing this in period. :)

11:01 Dave's glowing eyes :)

Andy Fletcher: “He [Gahan] could have felt a bit isolated with Alan leaving, because it used to be two and two-Dave and Alan, and Martin and me.” Jonathan Miller. Stripped. ALAN WILDER: “MARTIN AND FLETCH WERE ALWAYS A DEFINITE FACTION; FLETCHER WOULD OFTEN ACT AS A KIND OF INTERPRETER/SPOKESPERSON FOR MARTIN, WHO TENDED TO CLAM UP WHENEVER SOMETHING IMPORTANT NEEDED TO BE DISCUSSED. I WOULDN’T SAY DAVE AND I NECESSARILY FORMED A COUNTER - FACTION - WE WERE MORE INCLINED TO DO OUR OWN THING.” A Biography

Who's idea was it to film an interview under the Westway and next to the Great Western Railway into Paddington? Quite possibly one of the noisiest parts of London. The kids don't help. Otherwise a great interview of a band about to step up to a new level of success and what would be the height of their career.

Dave is right. Depeche Mode was never in “ the trend” with modern music… thank God! Especially in the 80’s and 90’s; pop music was so awful and disgusting, and the concert in the Rose Bowl proved that with ‘Music for the Masses’. Goodbye to our lovely “Fletch”❤️

Dave seems to not let Alan really get a word in

"we're not really swayed by what's in fashion".. fast forward 1992 and he's hanging in LA sporting a goatee and a needle up his arm

You would think by now Andrew Fletcher would be LEAD keyboard player by now..................... ,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,

Did Alan say Martin was lazy?

Demo mode when Alan left. I think ultra is a great record though and playing the angel. Memento is whatever I’ll take it, they’re old man now.

All Dave need is a triumph or a bsa motorcycle here.

"hopefully" LOL

Dave and Alan say to much "You know"
