"You can't cater to trends, otherwise you're going round in circles." "We would have been finished long ago if we'd tried jumping bandwagons playing the kind of music that was fashionable." - the best advice to modern musicians.
So glad that the thing that Alan said right at the end of the video came true. They ARE important, and they will always be remembered as an amazing, innovative and influential band (especially their 80's era (and the beginning of the 90's)). And even though he's no longer in a band, I think he really appreciates the time they spent together and music they made.
I wonder who had the great idea of having this interview in that place. The soundtrack is like Black Celebration after 5:50. Quick, sample those skateboards!
Alan is far much clever in his reflection than the such stupid and narcissic David Gahan. DM died in the 90’s when they Start to produce and perform like american bands (And just after Alan left) . Now Their music sounds « empty » and often Boring.

Ivana it was so nice 😭😊 Alan will always belong with DM
My two favourites from Depeche!
the whole footage resembles me 'Policy of truth', and if you keep in mind that it had been made just a yaer later - it's amazing!
This was about time they were making 'Violator'. They must've felt very good, having written that stuff, knowing how good it was.
They are so fucking cool :-)
The world's greatest band
you are right, the background is so depeche mode full of sounds--
I have sooo much respect for DM. They are MY generation....we're all the same age :P
I love how Dave talks and acts like he had any part in the songwriting lol Poor guy. Martin was such a control freak.
The first Hipsters of the worlds history.
Alan❤️

"We're not swayed by fashion", says a guy wearing sunglasses in total darkness.
coralaia_de_la_rosa Funny comment though! Dave would like the irony I am sure. Anyway, I suppose he was talking about the musical fashion.
depeche mode Fashion News... Dave studied art it is all connected..
I bet those kids have no clue what DM is
Jmgjgdjd5 and after years they saw this video, and just realized that they were near legends
Isn't that VJ Pip Dann? And was it filmed around Ladbroke Grove/Notting Hill? These places look so familiar to me...Dave looks so awesome here BTW
