Violator tour was the best concert I’ve EVER been to...and I’ve seen my fair share of artists over the years ..DM were simply brilliant..Wembley arena..1990 I think it was from memory ..happy days
I remember being 12 and discovering 101. What an amazing live album! Then in junior high, violator came out. I love DM. Best with earbuds. I burned a literal hike through those CD's. Now I have the vinyl.
But it's too bad DM only work for old fsns, their music style is out and they never made a second Violator... I say anyway that all what's next after it is somehow pathetic.
@@goodbye5030 every serious listener of DM shares my point of view. from a interesting band with edges during the 80's they muted to popular and shitty music without a soul . By the way at their shows they play and replay their 80's titles. #qed
the missing part in the end: Flood: `… lets just throw it out, throw out everything that you knou bout it, and myself and alan then spent half a day just jammin around different ideas and the base line and the `da da da da, da da da da da` [Flood probably means the melody on the lyrics `you can feel now, that's all there is`] came out oft that. The track had completely changed by the time that dave and martin came back and i think it was quite a shock. That was the place where the essence for change and the way were going to work had happened.`
They have recorded Violator in Milan, in a studio near my house. Today is a abandoned building, broken windows and strangled by the grass... I do miss that period!
Violator is a truly great album and has some amazing stuff on it, but they had lost their edge somewhat by then. "Enjoy The Silence" is their greatest hit but also one of their most shallow tracks. For me the golden Depeche Age is from Some Great Reward to Music For The Masses
Yes I agree! I don't like Violator that much, too cold and clinical ...they lost all their previous quirkiness after 1990. I think their attempts to try and find new ways to make music ultimately caused them to break up, ie too many arguments
@@archciter72 I was 20... I'm now 50. And Violator is still the best Depeche Mode album. Still listen to it. I can neither stop the clock nor turn it back. People age, but great music remains great.
eh? I was 7 and saw them the for the first time in 1990. my brother was 13, his 3rd tour, and he camped outside the arena for 2 days to get in front. the Stockholm show set a world record in hysteria.
it's funny to see all of them readily identifying (in 2005-ish) Violator as the best Depeche album, considering that the fans are far from being unanimous about it. My personal favourite (by a small margin) is actually SOFAD
Жаль Алан ушёл после турне, возможно ДМ сейчас звучал бы лучше,чем есть по факту. К сожалению Депеш уже не тот,нет той романтики в песнях и аранжировки уж слишком тяжёлые. Алан внёс свою лепту во многих альбомах и Виолатор не исключение. Плохо,что он не в команде.
