the worst thing that happened to depeche mode was alan's departure and in my opinion martin destroyed the claw that the band with alan had and that everyone worked hard for together

After Alan left, it was a downward slope, Martin is not suitable for mixing, his arrangements are a mixture of boring and cacophonous sounds.

I got goosebumps at Black Celebration

Quite literally the sounds of my youth, at his fingertips. Phenomenal...♥️🌹♥️

DM Mode’s most creative period was due to Martin Gore’s songwriting, Dave Gahan’s vocals, and from 1982-1995 with Alan Wilder’s skills as a musician, arranger and producer. Alan deserves credit for all his contributions during period, but without Gore and Gahan no one would know who Alan was.

yes, we know... Recoil - not a big fan. I love(d) Alan, I'd still love to see him back in the band. However, I know that DM could not exist without Martin's music and Dave's frontman act, while it DID/DOES live without Alan and, now, Fletch.

Oh my gosh such a nice guy. Watching interviews with Alan he is only really animated when talking about or playing music. A true musician...one who it seems was unappreciated by the rest of the band. How could they have let him go? SMFH.

Anyone who tells you that about DM might not quite “get it”. It’s ok to relive and hope as long we’re all still here…I miss this music, too. And you’re right: we were lucky😊

When I see Alan, I measure how much he missed to dM. Though the band has kept on doing some good albums, I deeply think its soul and style disappeared after SOFAD. As a keyboard player and drummer, his contribution to the sound of dM would have been incredible. A French listener since 87 ;-)

I am supportive of Alan and his decision. Self respect is priority #1!!!

I would love so much a tour with Alan on the keyboards, and no drummer, just the synths, and Martin's Guitar riffs.

What Alan did with I Want You Now is yet another example of how much of an influence he had on all of their best music. Him leaving was like taking all the bacon out of a cheeseburger. The Devotional Tour version of Everything Counts is still the hardest track in that whole set 🔥🔥

Omg the black celebration bit made me cry!

You do know they got the industrial side from a previous einsturzende neubauten session that had the sounds still loaded , the neubauten sounds were all over some great reward .

I could watch this over and over again. Such a great musician and lovely person.

The man who turned guitar twaddles into synth masterpieces.

Still to this day I totally miss Alan in DM. Because he was classically trained he bought more to the 'Mode, in particular BC. MFTM, V and SOFAD. We miss you Alan. PS. And I have all his Recoil stuff. An absolute fkn genius.

This is heartbreaking to watch. WIlder, cut out of DM and they languish without his technical wizzardry. The clip at 7.40 explaining his trip hop version of 'I want you now' using a pitched-down riff from 'Walking in my shoes' - fans can now witness the problem with Depeche since he left in 1994.

Alan's remix of In Chains is wonderful and magic! I think this is real Depeche Mode sound!

Alan and Andy were frankly the heart of Depeche Mode, RIP Andy :(

Dear Alan, YOU and Depeche Mode are amazing! It was sad, that you leave the band. Thank you for the music!

That bit from 101, when he did the demo, was hands down my favorite part of the entire movie!

this honestly made me so sad :(

Алан простой и порядочный человек и очень красивый мужчина и остался таковым. Он ушел из группы для того что бы быть просто счастливым, это его право. И не надо ждать от него шедевров, он сам ходячий Шедевр. Счастливчик и красавчик Алан на века!!!

As we can see he's the real master of all the unforgettable sounds which help a lot to make this music so special and which we love to hear in these first 10+ years of Depeche Mode to this day.

You still got it Alan. ..time to play with DM again

He is awesome and so talented!!!

Without any doubt, having Alan back again with Dave and Martin would be the best think they could do

Oh, Uncle Alan, history will never forget you. You have created the greatest

It is priceless to see you Alan playing the emulator. I come to this video over and over with the time to enjoy seeing you remembering your riffs... "If you want", by the way, the best of your songs, and the best of DM too. Thanks for your work at DM Alan. Since you lest nothing was the same.

Everybody always talking of AW coming back to DM. No way! They should be crawling in the dust, begging for a chance to come to him!

Alan the rythym and soul of DM

Alan, we miss you so much, you are so special, you are awesome. We love you Alan ❤❤

If you watch the making of the album from 1985, the boys are all in the studio, then suddenly Martin and Dave decide to go on holiday, leaving Alan to finish the rest of the album on his own. Plus Fletch and him got into physical fights backstage, according to Dave. It's no wonder he left, really.

I'll never forgive Gore's snubbing of Wilder after Wilder delivered to Depeche Mode their only #1 hit. I consider Wilder to be one of the pillars of the band. Without him, DM has just been kind of flailing after.

He must be healthy to be able to do that!! (And what on earth is Martin Gore wearing in that clip?). Please come back to the music industry, Alan.
