So good, and if I’m not mistaken the album version is what’s in the video, so this was a good choice for video, even though I’d always recommend the album audio. Halo, which wasn’t a single, but it’s an absolutely wicked masterpiece is my next suggestion. I hope you’ll work your way passed Violator both earlier (especially Music For The Masses & Black Celebration) and later. Great reaction, Shawn. Glad you’re digging it.
Violator is an amazing album. My first dance with my husband at our wedding was another song by them “Somebody.” One of my favorite songs off another album is “I Want It All.”
I stole this quote, but it fits here: The Smiths saw the cruelty of life and found the Humor in it. The Cure saw the cruelty of life and found the Beauty in it. Depeche Mode saw the cruelty of life and found themselves strangely aroused.
Violator is an alltime classic start to finish, really. Depeche are their own music style and had so many great hits between the 80‘s and early 2000‘s. They have just released an absolutely brilliant new album - check out the brand new video for „Before we drown“ for instance - and are on a sell-out tour.
Alan Wilder was a very important part of the DM sound. He was a magician in the studio. Unfortunately, he left the band in 1995. 😢 My favorite song from the Violator album is Halo. 👍💯
I love this song! OMG I was TOTALLY into Depeche Mode back in the day, them and Pet Shop Boys. BUT this video reminded me of those music videos that had long scenes before and after with no music! It's a "music" video not an indie film. Argh! used to frustrate the crap out of me! Still did!
Hi ya buddy I've just saw um live at the 02 arena London UK wow wow wow 🎉🎉🎉a full house the crowd epic brilliant awesome 👌👍👌 Depeche mode live epic awesome amazing band luv um my all time favourite is everything counts and never let me down again you need to watch them videos live they are on RU-vid just amazing brilliant 🎉🎉🎉enjoy buddy
Off subject, but I don't think I can keep the Stop Making Sense tour reactions going! 😣 I can't seem to find the 3 song from that tour on RU-vid... and it seems like there might be a few missing
@@ShawnSalvadori Oh--that's ok! (Edited to say: I see what you mean...I'm trying to put a playlist together and some are missing, or not good quality...it seems that some recent remastered live versions have been taken down.)
Depeche Mode was the highest of the Goth music scene; even as we moved into the 90s and the Goth scene changed. Many NuWav and Goth bands changed and became either Rock (classic rock) or Alternative Rock.
This is one of my favorite DM tunes. Never Let Me Down Again is a legendary tune by DM they always play live on there tours it all started on there 101 tour. It is a must see moment for a DM fan i recommend either there 101 tour where it all started live at The Rose Bowl in front of 80.000 fans or from Barcelona.... If you are interested DM change there look and sound during the mid 90's right after the Violator album. There sound is a bit more rocky since they start using the guitar and drums live
You really should check them out live. Go for Never Let Me Down Again as you've already reacted to Enjoy The Silence and Personal Jesus...though both of these are worthy of seeing live...I'd say, ETS live in Berlin and PJ on the Devotional tour.
If you liked this then you should check out an absolute GOD of 70’s and 80’s electronic music - GARY NUMAN!!! The most unique singing style you’ll ever hear. Try “Are Friends Electric?” for starters - maybe the live at Brixton Academy version.
