Talent is a strange, invisible thing. A few minutes with this man at a pub or on the street, and you'd never know he has written some of the most beautiful songs ever recorded.
I met him once in 2002 when I was the drummer in a Cirque du Soleil show and he came to see the show and joined us for a drink in the kitchen afterwards. It took me almost an hour to actually understand that it was him. Of course I knew that it was Martin Gore from Depeche Mode but the way he behaved and spoke made it really hard to understand that it was REALLY Martin Gore. He only spoke of the show and about the quality of us musicians in the show. How ego completely dissolved behind a huge (but very very agreeable) wall of shyness and humility. They say that one should not meet ones heroes... in his case this could not have been more wrong. He is the most humble, soft spoken and thoughtful "star" I have even met (besides Peter Gabriel).
You couldn't have written that better! I know it was 2 years ago, but I was just scrolling through all of their old stuff and I absolutely adore Martin Gore. He is so talented.
In Your Room is hands down one of the greatest songs ever written. It's really hard to pick favourite Depeche Mode song, but I always go back to that one. Stripped, also. Black Celebration. Waiting for the Night.
When Martin talks about the loneliness and solitude sound of songs, it's like he's reading my mind. I don't either like really happy songs 'cause I've always felt they are fake somehow. However, I do like the word melancholy :)
Really love this man, and he did well in the interview!! He seemed so soft spoken and polite!! One of the favorite songs are "Dreaming Of You" from the early 80's!
I adore Martin's talent for over 30 years know. Together with Alan Wilder they were a magical combination. Actually all four of them till Alan left the band, to my opinion. I always thought Martin was in some sort of dreamy mood, but since I heard of his social shyness, I even respect him much more. Consider this while playing for full arena's, screaming women and men (ofcourse 😉). I had the tremendous luck to meet him at an after party / meet after a concert and had a chat for a few minutes and two kisses on cheek 🤗. He gave me a sateh from the buffet that was arranged for a few fans. It was lovely and naturally. Dave wasn't around back then. This interview is exactly how he is, pure and humble. And his heart for music. I rather have a husband like he, then someone who come crushing into my little world 😉, shake me up and leave. Depeche Mode is somewhat my diary. Even their worst songs are quite okay. Much credit and respect for them. After all these years, they still rock and sure know how to give a party playing live.
You're so lucky if he even touched my pinky with his pinky I'd faint! I don't think I could ever recover from meeting him, his songs melt my heart! Especially The Bottom Line from Ultra 😍🫠
Yes dear, I know what you mean, me myself I don't get really excited about contemporary music either. It's not just about getting old, I think it is a whole different mentality nowadays. You are a sincere person and a very talented singer and songwriter. Much more value to that then the vulgar cheap artists and videos from the nillies. 🍀💖👋 God bless you Martin 🙏🌷💝
Los "arreglos" que le hicieron en los dientes le han modificado,me parece,la tan delicada boca que tenía cuando era joven.Mientras a él le guste.. ❤❤❤😍😍😍
Finds is hard 'following' a bank now! Martin we all feel this way! There just is not the talent quite like you and others these days! We are looking back on you and others from the eighties (and sixties) longingly. Look to England for the best music ever, this is for sure!!
I am so glad i stumbled onto this.. his intent focus.. whether or not the enterviewer deserves it or not. There are few people i respect anymore in the music industry or elsewhere but he is one of them. This may sound esoteric but artists try to push their synths or instruments to the limit or even breaking. He says solitary and lonilness are the focus.. but the true dm fabric is their scary meaness that they evoke: from dreaming of me, something to do, somebody, question of lust, shake the disease, strangelove, enjoy the silence, policy of truth to in your room.
The man has no idea how sexy and incredibly attractive his inner spirit is makes him soo much more appealing to both the eye and soul. His wife is one lucky gal. And that god given angelic voice …hot damn!
Possibly why they had such a success. I imagine it would've been quite hard for them to function if he was an arrogant prick, considering they had 2 non-composing, non-player members
Noticed he was looking at the camera and with that smile, it's like letting the people know look at my new teeth they look good and I know they prob feel better than the ones you had but it wouldn't be depence mode from the 80s if you didn't have them crooked teeth it was like a trademark of the band loved them then and love them now, thanks
Quizá estaba acomplejado con esos incisivos tan encimados(para mí,divinos,eran su sello).Quizá no se atrevió a un tratamiento de ortodoncia o x alguna razón no se podía...En fin,exagerado el tono y la forma..Él hermoso igual...😍😍😍❤
@@darkmantis69 No, I don´t mean his accent. He definetely sounds different, since he has new teeth. Especially the 's' and the 'f'. The air goes differently past the teeth. You can hear it very often from people with tooth crowns at their front teeth. And he obviously has all of his teeth with crowns.
@@Lumpenkasperle tenés razón.Son coronas sobredimensionadas,y se cambió la mordida.Aparte del tono(demasiado blanco).No encontró un profesional muy coherente para su tratamiento odontológico...Igual amo MG❤😍😍😍
He doesn't open his mouth much when he talks, and he opened it even less when he still had those janky-ass teeth. The way he talks now doesn't sound any different than the way he spoke before the new teeth.

He doesn't go to pubs anymore.
@@departmentofdate2263 he goes to the natural cafe in Santa Barbara
Some very good and thought provoking answers in there. There's also the dry humour that often finds its way into his writing.

Unbelievably humble! Unbelievably talented! An unbelievable catalogue of songs! 🎶🕶
a wonderful man, musician and philanthropist.
I truly think "people are people" is one of the greatest songs of all time
Such a lovely man.. and I did very much like his hair like that..
The sweetest man in the universe
La más dulce perfección...
You just can't say a bad word about this guy!
Thanks for this. Nice interview. A pleasure to watch a professional interviewer at work.
Mr. Gore is a gem. Godspeed, MG.
Martin Gore you are Song writing GOD, don't be so humble. Nobody in history wrote this kind of dark erotica songs you did. Thank you 😎
Arnela de Noir yes indeed, he is amazing, gorgeous, erotic song writer.

6:01 LOL, the cameraman takes a moment to appreciate the beauty of Martin Gore's lip shape.
Setting the white ballance against his new grill.
The start too 😂
One of the best song writers out there and such a nice guy
My fav songwriter and such a good guy with a gorg smile and gorg green eyes!
Es precioso!!!Esa sonrisa hermosa y ojos cristalinos!!!!Siempre humilde y discreto.Un genio amoroso.Ah,me gustan los rulos...
Beautiful man, in and out! Omg...
He has a lovely smile and laugh.
This style fits him!Attractive man!
Great interview, so honest and charming. :)
Really love this man, and he did well in the interview!! He seemed so soft spoken and polite!!
One of the favorite songs are "Dreaming Of You" from the early 80's!
Alida Gosgnach it's written by Vince Clarke
I agree DREAMING OF ME is a nice number.
What a lovely man. We're so inspired by his songwriting as a band.
Martin is so cute!
What is up with the horrible audio???
Awesome interview!!
Oh, his lips...
I love this man!!
*zooms in on his smile* This camera person knows what we want!

Soft spoken genius
They valley loves Depeche Mode.. East LA really loves them
Great interview.
"those songs bear resemblance to reality"
exactly
Lovely man, intelligent, modest & his personality really attracts me & then ....amazing music.
Adored the "Counterfeit EP" - Never turn your back on mother earth !! - a collision of 2 great artists !!
Martin Is a musical genius. The Jimi Hendrix of electronic music!
His guitar work is unlike anything as well, simple as it may be the melody and key are perfect for the songs
He is such a beautiful man
Martin's Santa Barbara surfer hair phase here.
18:49 Dave "a singer". does he think we don't know who Dave is or what ? :) haha
00:04 cracks me up haha love him
I love his laugh
He's painfully shy, that's all.
B1GDINO I always thought that too.... I think behind doors, he is perv lol 😂 which I like very much
@@AkakaDomenjer of course he is, "Lets play Master and Servant" :) But its ok
He is humble. Why do you find him shy?
@@gabormeszaros4896 Jaja!Let's play,Martin...😍😍😍

He´s a lovely inteligent, authentic Person. And yes! He´s got Beautiful lips!

Man, I listen to my loops just the same, that's reassuring.
cada vez se parece más a Borges.
por la humildad injustificada, mayormente.
también la timidez.
lo amo. divino.

Wish i could hear this.
Everyones talking about how beautiful his smile is now that he has his veneers but i miss his fucked up teeth 😭
The man has no idea how sexy and incredibly attractive his inner spirit is makes him soo much more appealing to both the eye and soul. His wife is one lucky gal. And that god given angelic voice …hot damn!
Awesoness🎙🎶
Is the audio incredibly low on this or is it just my rig?
The audio is ridiculously low.
It's weird how such an unassuming person can be such a complete musical genius
Possibly why they had such a success. I imagine it would've been quite hard for them to function if he was an arrogant prick, considering they had 2 non-composing, non-player members

*Marty is the Stephen Hawking of song writers.* 🤣🤣🤣🤣
bruce lee of music
Guapo Martin con ese rostro alegre, soy su admiradora. Muy talentoso,
Cool guy 😎
He is such a sweet man, talented and sexy. Love his songs.
Does anybody understand what the man is asking at 6:45?
+Leoniiie if its therapuetic, and still personal and meaningful.. when he is singing someone elses songs.. as much as if he wrote them himself..
+vegastiki thank you for answering me that fast! That is so nice!
6:53,oh shit!,here we go again!.
😂 why did the camera person zoom like that at the beginning
Really love him.
"How high are you?"
-"Yes."
est Europe love you dear Martin... too
Мартин спасио что вы есть огромное спасибо за вашу музыку. вы самый лучшей муыкант огромное вам спасибо вы вычсший человек
you're handsome
Cool interview! Too bad he seemed so distant, shy or not wanting to be there.
I think he'd prefer to be performing than answering questions he's answered 100 times before. Still very thoughtful answers.
I think he might be a bit introverted, he let's his music do the talking.
Мартин, Лии Горееее вЫ БОГ СПАСИБО ЗА МУЗУКУ СПАСИБО МАРТИН ГОРЕ СПАСИБО.
Еще в далекие 90, я слушала твои песни. Мы с сестрой пытались дозвонить в фан клуб в Лондоне! Смешно было как нам отвечали.😂😂"Мы о таких не знаем!"
At the start of interview how he looks and hides teeth with lips and they zoom in on them
😘😍❤
i love you sweet baby💗
He is special focused
A very distant personality!
*I CAN'T HEAR SH*T.*
you are
Wonder if there false teeth?
nah. he got his teeth fixed that's all. kinda miss his old teeth though
+EMPERORCEASAR12 Had plenty of botox now too!
Sí,es prótesis fija.
Tiene botox?No me parece...🤔
I don´t like these new teeth. It looks like as it is difficult to speak with them... and they look unnatural.
new teeth? that's his accent he's always talked like that.. doesn't open his mouth very far.. some brits are just like that..
