OMD opened up for them at the 101 show I saw.
They lip-synced.

shit I got Nitzer Ebb, they sucked in Pittsburgh. But I travelled to Philly for 101.

I saw them for the first time with my girl on the last tour they did in LA. Late bloomer I guess. They are pretty nice. Great live.
I listen to hip hop... my girl listens to everything else. Even balance...
FRESH!

DM is one ot the best...
I just got a PROMO copy of Martin Gore's new album. It's really really good. A bit dark and mellow, but it's good... Cant wait to hear what Dave's solo album is going to sound like...anyone know?

I never liked them when I was younger, something about the sound turned me off - I did like their bigger songs though. But just last week I listened differently to a greatest hits compilation and it was so good. A totally different appreciation of them now - and my 8 year old son digs Just Can't Get Enough
- Funny, I was never a big fan but my kids mom loved them. A song came on the radio and I turned it and my kid says "Hey turn it back I like that song"fooler

The older brother of my best friend growing up was really a big fan of DM, I got to listen avidly to Violator, Songs of Faith and Devotion, Music for the Masses, 101...
I always liked them, not on my list of favorite bands but of all those big bands in the 80's I think they had something particular, they had this darkness, and after stopping listening to them before Ultra..."It's No Good" was a ticket to their older stuff and I even like it more actually.
I think all around they have really great songs and I wished I had watched them live back then.
The songs I like more
Enjoy the Silence
Strangelove
Blasphemous Rumours
It's No GoodAnd I can't decide between Master and Servant or Shake The Disease

This is the band that got me into music in the first place, along with New Order. Unfortunately it's just not the same since Alan Wilder left the band.
I think classic DM is everything from Some Great Reward to Songs and Faith and Devotion...but even that last one is pushing it a bit with the grunge and gospel influences lol. Black Celebration, Music for the Masses and Violator are still the best ones IMO.
- Completely agreeMondoMorphic
- The band died with the era they defined. I dont know what DM would have been like in the 90s if they kept producing in the same tempodrgs
- Their interesting period spans for no more than 10 years. QBN has existed for twice as long, weirddrgs
- Completely agree, too. Around Faith and Devotion(?) they made a point to use real instruments but ended up changing the sound pretty much. bummerSquiddy
- What's funny is I remember music journalists had no respect for bands like DM back then..."it's not real music, they just play keyboards" etc.yuekit
- Now electronic music has pretty much taken over everything and they're looked back on as a very influential band. But at the time it felt like a very weird,yuekit

I saw them live in Dallas when I was 16. I leveraged my tickets to take a girl I barely knew and while there was no chemistry between us, the show was incredible and this brand new band I hadn't heard of, Nine Inch Nails, was the opener. Fun times!

Some good solo material from Martin Gore and Alan Wilder...

Nine Inch Nails and Depeche Mode played the same night at different but nearby venues here in Honolulu. I was grounded :-( Venues were like 5 mins apart by walking. Rumor had it Trent Reznor delayed his show a little so he could see some of Depeche Mode.

The videos from this era of DM are amazing...Anton Corbjin created a very memorable style. Even the album tracks had good videos...
