I am Venezuelan and I have been listening to them since 1987 when I was about 13. And yes, they are not pretentious, they are not "rock stars", they just wanted to do something good and be sure people understand but not for all the people. Yes, music for the lonely, they spoke to you. And Alan... well, I have an Emu Emax II but he has been this artist, this amazing individual, talented, respected, loved. Thanx for the time you spend creating your pieces.
Lovely to hear Alan speak so so fondly of the Depeche times. According to directors Jeremy and Nick, I was the first person they interviewed for the film, in California. Funny enough I would start my own band a few years later "ejector" that I'm currently in. I was so nervous, at the time, there were some technical problems with the sound. I hope I made the cut but more so I hope to see this film. They, like my experience meeting Depeche, were truly wondrous people. ricky terry- ejector
As a matter of fact, the documentary was commissioned by the band, but they rejected it when they saw the end result (understandably so, in my opinion). I love Alan, but if anything, he was the one who probably got a pay check.
Tears For Fears was one hit song per album, it was more chill out music and rock, they were mellow. But they never felt rejected by their girlfriends, punished and slavered, and Depeche Mode has that covered. From "The things you said", "Higher Love" to Barrel of a gun". Even "Somebody" about a guy wishing for a girl. Always this "dude" in love trouble. But Dave Gahan has this cool, bad boy, sensual personality too. The mix of Dave, Alan and Martin was just great. And they were humble.
Yo lo que me pregunto es por qué el tema de la película no está anunciado en la página oficial de DM. La respuesta sencilla: este tema del documental no es apoyado por DM y sí por Alan Wilder. No creamos que porque Alan esté ahí significa que va a volver. El se fue y no va a volver más, no porque lo diga yo sino porque lo dijo él. Esto también es comercial así que todos ganan.
You know why Depeche Mode was good? because back in the 80's there was not good depresing techno pop music. If you were a teen your only option was Pink Floyd, if you wanted something electronic you had Jeam Michelle Jarre or Vangelis and if you wanted pop you had Madonna. But there was noot good moody music for the manic depresive teen in electronic. You had The Cure but it was rock and dusty. Depeche Mode was clean, elegant, with a beat. Good music and good lyrics. Postmodernist.
Great to hear Alan talking again, not so interested in the directors' opinions though. I thought it was well established that the worst thing about 101 was the annoying poser kids.
U2 is for the masses a stadium band now, that's the difference DM still remains underground even though they're widely known. U2 wanted to be the Led Zeppelin of alternative music DM didn't.
I think that there are do difference about live performance conditions between U2 and DM, they all have stadiums and TV shows, as all stars. DM became a worldwide known group with LP "Violator" and it was no longer underground.. it was a music for the masses. And I must say that they made a good balance by mixing a brilliant songs and music with understandable for every one concept.
What’s with the unnecessary hate towards U2 in particular💀 imo you should be able to uplift something without bringing others down. Classy of Alan not to comment on that. I guess I’m biased because U2 is my second favorite band and has helped me through a lot along with DM. But that was so unnecessary imo.
Okay... apparently Alan answered a DM/future related question during this session.... and somehow it wasn't worthy of inclusion in this clip!!?? Come on!
Miss, miss, miss Alan Wilder so much. Intelligent, observant & engaging. Come out of hiding please. 2021.
@ Mini Sake You take the words right out of my mouth. 2022
We all miss this great artist! Alan is legendary
THERE'S ALWAYS ROOM FOR ALAN WILDER WITH DEPECHE MODE.
It's so great to see Alan still involved with DM stuff.

Great ! Thank you so much for uploading it !
Alan sos lo mas grande que hay en el mundo! Genio!
Alan é o cara! Volta pro Depeche! ;(
next time, put AW in the middle, so we can see his face : (
I think that Dave Gahan have composed the song 'Come Back' to Alan Wilder as a hot desire from him for Alan to coming back to DepecheMode.
no he sang WRONG for him
It's abit sad that only Alan attended and none of the other 3 members
I'm sure the other 3 would expect a pay check out of it

U should do a part interview in Asia.... Especially SEA...There are a lot of DM fans still out there

And you can dance to it too!

Alan is always classy. I can listen to him forever.
POLISH FANS are still waiting... hahah
Well, there was also Tears For Fears, but they seemed to get happier with every album they released :)

I'm sorry, but couldn't that woman spit out her chewing gum before the freaking Q+A? Geez it's bloody annoying her chomping away the whole time
Yep, no manners.
Alan Charles Wilder is never coming back to Depeche Mode Depeche Mode Depeche Mode.
