It's so weird to watch this interview now knowing the hell they were all going through at the time this SOFAD was being made and the subsequent tour. Still one of their best albums though! One of the best bands in the world!
This was a particularly tough time for all 4 members, especially David Gahan. I saw DM on this tour and they were magnificent. So beyond amazing. On stage they had their shit together, but off stage, they were in shambles. I'm happy all 4 members are alive and well. It breaks my heart that Alan Wilder is no longer in the band but he made his decision and we have to live with it. DM by the way is not one of the best but THE BEST BAND IN THE WORLD 🤗🤗🤗🖤🖤🖤
It very interesting to see how they were in different places at that time... particularly Dave seems to be completely alone. Spiritually and emotionally. I think that this album was the hardest part of their Career. Indedd it is the Best one in my opionin
I find this really interesting after getting an idea of the changes that the band had gone through to this point. Gambaccini is a good interviewer and I don't think any other DJ or reporter would have been able to get the men as candid as this. Also, at this point, they were all in their early 30s and as someone reaching mid-30s now, early 30s is still young in terms of maturity. It's sad that they're all separate from each other. The cracks had formed and were beginning to expand at this point, but I don't think that it couldn't have been fixed. The tour was the last straw but this...here...changes could have been made. Rehab, counseling, mediation, and more time trying to get all of them sorted out before the tour could have made all the difference. Dave, to me, is the one I care about the most here. Maybe it's because he was suffering the most and going through a lot, but him talking about Martin brings tears to my eyes (and his hair is luxurious). P.S: What was the sound that came out of Martin at 7:54? I think it's supposed to be a laugh but it came out like a goat's bleat.
It's bizarre to hear Alan say that he really enjoys taking most of the responsibility for the music, then 2 years later he left because of that very reason. Makes me wonder whether he was told to say those words rather than them being how he actually felt.
Alan was more hurt and disappointed about the lack of support from his input to their studio and Live work. Though he enjoyed his musical abilities to contribute to the team, in the end of the Sofad tour he felt let down by all lack of support that it grive his heart emotionally that he had to move on or end up being more hurt.
this all does feel like a joke or maybe since the band was at an all time low inter-personally they didn't care much about coming off as that type of band they never came off as in the past
Didn’t like Gahan’s eyebrow raise mentioning Fletch . Rude lad . We know fletch isn’t a musician as such but unprofessional . Of corse he was off his head then and rather disgusting to be fair . Whole period of Dm was horrible
@@marguskiis7711 ultra is really ok.. But seriously Is superior to violator? To black celebration?? ... Wilder defined the sound of the "gollden era". Fact. on the other hand, Martin is a divine composer and Dave is a hell of a front man with fantastic voice.. So even Playing the Angel or Exciter or Ultra are self distinguishing works, except for that little great magic in the construction of beats and the "atmosphere " intense stratification : that was Alan craftmanship excellency!
@giovanniscardetta333 Sometimes people are not able to differ what is objectively “the best” and their “most favourite”. Ultra isn’t better than SOFAD and Violator, despite the fact that I love Ultra more than Violator.
@@giovanniscardetta333 If Wilder was such a genius then where the ef is his "brilliant" solo work? Wilder's own compositions were mediocre. He was always much stronger in the production side of things--adding bits to Martin's work. Martin was and is still the stronger writer and lyricist. But make no mistake that Depeche Mode was still as good without Wilder--Ultra is proof of that. If anything Wilder leaving the band forced them to embrace live instruments resulting in a more modern, grungy and richer sound that would later be mirrored by other musical acts of the time.
Oh my Dave and his candles, I know he was messed up but he was/is absolutely beautiful. What a gorgeous man
It's really hard seeing Dave like that, startlingly skinny and super spaced out. So glad he got clean and turned his life around.
Alan was always working, doing it all. Perfectionist. So beautiful as well. Genius.
Agreed. DM lost it's heartbeat when they lost Alan. 😂
@@brittasyogaqi No they didn't.
@@rumblefish9 Ah yes they did.
I still have the this in full on DVD. And Paul's interview style here is of a high standard. Alan just seems humble despite his talent.
Long live my boys.
Four different men,four different styles,one fantastic group!!
Four men, three of them having a unique talent and one just being a douche bag bum

@ferd1572 He was a part of DM till the end 🤷🏻♀️ Whether we like it or not

Dave and the sweet things he says about his bandmates....
8:06 I love Dave's smile ❤😭
God, what an album. And what a part of their career.

and the best concert!
Martin and Fletcher, yes. Alan was at home with Dave, only rehearsing, as he says, One Caress on the piano.
I think the same
Ultra seems to have been a little more difficult to make but this album definitely had its problems
I've seen this on DM's Devotional dvd. Great concert filmed in Germany I think. I witnessed it live 1993-94. SPECTACULAR.
Dave talking about his relationship with Martin 😍😢😍😢 I'm weeping bless
I had to smile at Dave, recumbent on cushions slowly watching his 'collection' burn! Great video, thank you. 🇬🇧

I know that Dave was probably at his lowest point around this time but he was looking really handsome in his "grunge" look years!
New favorite ASMR video
All four of them seem so subdued and spaced out here.
This is so interesting and nicely shot!
so touching for an excellent video
It's not unreleased. It's included in the Disc 2 of the Singles 86-98 + DVD
Dave the Messiah. Maybe he could turn water into wine back then
:D :D
He could turn water into heroin back then.
@@fastica oppure non sembra rimbambito da Eroina 🤷
Lieder in etwas noch viel wunderbares
Amén.👌
As much as I love DM, this is so ''spinal tap''. Very shocking, actually, at least in comparison to interviews given during the Violator era.

Beatiful video nice video nice years well tank you
"Tank you"??

He was angry about the fact, that his work wasn´t honoured.
Marcus Cross A true Gemini.
Alan was more hurt and disappointed about the lack of support from his input to their studio and Live work.

You can’t blame Alan for leaving the band . I think was emotionally drained and exhausted from the chaos
The others didn’t give a fuck about anything, plus they took the whole thing for granted, they all payed the price after. Today they sound like shit.
I love dm, but it's so spinal tap...i just love it.
Very 😂😂
Nice to see Gambo!
The girl with Martin is absolutely stunning.. anybody know who that was?
❤❤❤❤❤ danke,
INCREDIBLE! IT'S GOOD TO BE WELL INFORMED!
HUGS,

What did Dave say in conclusion ?? 🤨😳???
is this the same as Songs Of Faith And Devotion (electronic press kit - e.p.k.) ?
Pretty sure it's not anywhere else on RUclips. And if it is, it's a copy of a copy.
Martin sitting on the bed
who's the lady with martin gore? She's gorgeous.
+armalyte I think she appeared in the tour projection of "In Your Room", if I'm not mistaken.
ha ha ha witch one the one that do him make up or the call girl knocking on the door ^^
Can't work out if this is a spoof??
Why can't I watch it? That's not fair! Is it only for people over 18?
can you watch it now after 3 years?
😆😆
Surely you can watch it now. Also I’m under 18 and watching it, was there an age restriction or something?
how about now after 8 years??!! 😂
Does Andy live in a zoo?
this all does feel like a joke or maybe since the band was at an all time low inter-personally they didn't care much about coming off as that type of band they never came off as in the past
Dont touch my hair.... Dave
Dave is so messed up here. You can hear it in his speech and see it in his movements.
Мимика Мартина неподражаема. Обожаю этих людей
DM Spinal Tap
they are so young..and dumb. but so was i was 23 and homeless thought i was a rock star..hahaha
What a fucking mess, David and the classic candle lit junkie setup. All addicts have the same lighting.
i don't like this.they are not that interesting and funny as most of the interviews they have done before and after.
They are in misery here. Heartbreaking! This is the end of the best DM. The Wilder era.
They were really in a bad place during this time. But the music was magical.
the eye in the sky the interviewer is too serious.
second!
Didn’t like Gahan’s eyebrow raise mentioning Fletch . Rude lad . We know fletch isn’t a musician as such but unprofessional . Of corse he was off his head then and rather disgusting to be fair . Whole period of Dm was horrible
Just before they decline. Now even Kim Wilde is more exciting.
Xavier Wmz Kim Wilde IS exciting ❗
Ultra is their best album ever.

Dave Ego Gahan sacked Alan Wilder and DM was history
what are you talking about?
He wasnt fired he quit.
You're not very knowledgeable are you? Dave never "sacked" Alan Wilder. Become a fan, do your research, and then come back and make comments.
The woman with the make up looks like one from the Devotional tour screens, In Your Room maybe
In martins room ..where time stands still..
He had a hell of a lot of girls there !!!🤧😏
