What an earnest interview. I have so much respect for Dave, he never bullsh1ts.

The recent interviews are simply brilliant. I mean, it's a difficult situation for them, it's not easy and yet they give insight into the most intimate details and luckily they haven't lost their sense of humor. The same optimism remains, only perhaps better than ever. I never thought that after 40 years they could still show or say something new, both musically and lyrics. This album is a masterpiece! Thank you Depeche Mode! DEVOTEE💜FOREVER

@@laurence.MusicAndSights I don't even know where to start. Thank you for your good wishes, I also send good days and cheerful good cheer from the bottom of my heart! What a great two amazing classsic songs: Sister of Night and the Sweetest Perfection. Btw, you have excellent taste, cause I'm in similar "trouble" SOFAD has always been my absolute favorite, but it depends on the mood, and for me I count the big breakthrough from the Black Celebration era, but the atmosphere of Ultra can also captivate me so much that is pure awesome And (!) I used to listen to Playing The Angel ragged, but my first tour was the Tour Of The Universe which was insanely incredible, however, what has just happened I have to say MEMENTO MORI exceeded all my expectations! Simply a soulful masterpiece!!! 💜So I think we have a lot in common when it comes to musical tastes; 😊🤷‍♂(Not to mention, I really like the sound of Delta Machine and I absolutely love the world of Spirit) P.S: Eat a batch of delicious ice cream for me, because yes, believe it or not, I love it too. Don't be mad that I wrote so long, but it was a great pleasure for me. Please take care of yourself and just, you know...remember how valuable and unique person you are. ENJOY your life my dear soulmate, Laurence!😘

Speak to me is such a good track.

What a tremendous interview! Dave is really opening up here. I find most of these predictable, but hats off to this interviewer 👏

What a wholesome Interview, without being repetitive. Interviewer was quite polite and let Dave talk and bare his feelings. Exactly what an interview should be like. And myself also in a grieving process with the loss of three close friends last year as well. this album was bliss in a realm of darkness and grief. Thank you Dave and Martin for putting the work. My sincere condolences to your irreplaceable loss as well. Went to see them in Vegas last week and it was sublime. Their music gave me bravery and courage to travel solo in 2017 (Phoenix) and in 2023(Las Vegas). Traveled by bus 13 hrs from Hermosillo, Mexico to Vegas this time. I'm lucky to be alive, blessed and watching these guys still rocking and getting the privilege to see them in two different tours. Life is good

the album is very good. Wish they would play a couple more from the album on tour

Yes, Dont say you love me! And always you!

I've been a DM, fan since I was 11 years old, now that I'm over my 40's, I can't describe how much I love them, their songs are incredible, they had help me go through good and bad times in my life. It's really sad that Andrew Fletcher, it's not longer physically with us, but let me tell you when you go to their concert, specially memento mori, tour, you feel his presence, it's beautiful, I will always be a huge DM fan!.

The interviewer is so pleasantly speaking and communicating with Dave (sometimes they just throw random questions without listening). And it’s so great to listen especially on such difficult topic. Dave is so sincere. Thank you for this interview! Indeed so much in just 20minutes. Beautiful conversation

We all miss Andy so much. It is fitting that Dave always remembers him. It is good to see that they have moved on with a Meaningful "Album". I am sure Andy would have wanted this and would have been proud of them. Thank you for this great interview ❤

Very sensitive interview..love to you and Martin, Dave. I really feel for you and cried😢. Changes things. R.I.P Fletch.

Grieving is a personal experience. You work on your timetable. ❤

Dave and Martin have been so gracious and open about Fletch. It’s almost like they are dedicating this album and tour to him while allowing the bandaid to be pulled back with every question

Dépêche Mode (and especially Martin I guess) have always tried to talk about death in their songs. I really like the fact they made a whole album about death without hiding that theme. People should talk and think about death more, that's an interesting subject.

Amazing that two of my favorite tracks on this latest release were written by Dave (a first for me).

What’s up Dave. You music helped me through a lot of tough times. Thank you

More interviews like this. Dave has a deep dark side and more people should ask about it and get the human side of him out.

I knew it for a long time that Blade Runner '82 had an influence on DM because Martin has said it is his all time favourite Sci-Fi film after all Blade Runner '82 is really about Replicants that want to live , and then question like real people who die "Where do we go , what happens to me next....(and yes I miss Andy too he was like a family member we all have , their there from time to time at gatherings we see them give them a hug ask how everything is and then that's it till next time we see them... then the next thing you know they died , and you never got the chance to say I love you thanks for being here 😢

Great ending idea.

I had a boy I used to like so much his name was Adam Katz from Toronto we used to hang out a lot in high school . I was in to alternative music a bit shy he was into Punk music dressed like black jeans black hair short and combat boots . I just liked him so much . Anyways Adam looked so much like Dave . Cool video Dave looks great he seems down to earth . Kind of. I wasn’t in to depeche mode when I was younger I liked a few songs but definitely great band

In fact I don't think he could care less about what they do since it's *Depeche Mode's songs. Depeche Mode wasn't a one-man band. Alan has made himself clear enough, especially since he's basically disappeared from the public eye. It's "fans" like you that can't accept that he's moved on and that Depeche Mode is doing well without him. Maybe you were unaware, but it's possible to love and respect Alan without disrespecting the current DM and be stuck in the past. Besides, he's still in contact with them, at least Dave confirmed they text each other sometimes and I'm pretty sure he's not mad like you are about all this. But stay mad I guess😂

Not likely. He may occasionally work with them, like the live performance he did or the remix, but I'm afraid not. He's busy with his family, and I'm guessing that 30 years may be too much pressure to come out with something great. Someone also reminded me recently that that Peter and Christian have been in the band long than he was in.😮

He will definitely no more rejoin the band and it's a correct decision. Alan belongs to the past of DM and we should respect it amd only remember the great moments of their collaboration.

Death is all around us, we all die, everybody we know die and fairly quickly too. So I'm kind of tired of all this discomfort around the topic of death.
