Alan Wilder (101)

2023 all here?

[@cherry88]

Alan is so elegant.

[@Birdforever888]

Alan, Alan all world are waiting for your come back

[@abbyboyone]

Alan wilder is why DM used to be on another level. He was like an editor. He would tweak and tighten Martin Gore's music. The cherry on top. It's a real shame that the rest of the band members didn't appreciate him enough to keep him.

[@derekhellmann515]

I have to agree. We can look back and recognize the contribution he made.

I can just watch him all day and won't get tired of seeing and hearing him speak.

I freaking love everytime he says the word "keyboard" it's like abnormally sexy

He's is terribly sexy :D

I think you're talking about the emu emax :D

Alan was born to said that specific word...Keyboard.

[@djinniboo]

Me too! I love Alan Charles Wilder. He is HOT.

[@Surge92]

This is still the best part of "101".

[@MayLily]

Dave just dedicated Black Celebration to Alan at the concert last night in Brooklyn, NYC! This song reminds alot of people of Alan due to this 101 documentary.

[@blueroses7935]

I hope so much that that's true, especially since I'd never have imagined Dave saying anything so positive in recent times. He used to talk positively about Alan, saying he wished that he'd have fought for him to stay; however, in more recent years, Dave's comments (esp. in an interview last year) indicated that he was sick of hearing about Alan and that people need to stop 'living in the past' 😔

[@InfraRedLight]

@blueroses7935 I was so terribly angry to hear Dave in that interview. But the more they are sick of Alan’s fans, THE MORE WE LOVE ALAN!❤️

[@LadyMissNeptune]

Why is is that none of us can get over this adorable man? It’s as if everyone wishes they could hold onto that time in DM’s history. If only time machines were easily accessible.....

[@junebaby166]

I know. I still like the idea that there is a parallel universe where Alan Wilder hasn't left Depeche Mode. Miss him lots.

[@irchieirchie]

So true..

[@MsVictorcrumbs]

Alan is a genius and is my favourite member of depeche mode

[@carlobotti1462]

We're missing you, Alan!!!

[@BBnose]

Alan has a soothing nice voice

[@markchristopher2signal2]

he's sooo handsome and articulate.

[@sandracole5265]

Alan Wilder will always be missed and loved. Wonder if he'll show up for any of the DM shows when they come to the UK.

[@minisake2091]

Alan is the hottest ‘music teacher’ I’ve ever come across & wish more was on him in ‘101’.

[@maaczka]

i'm so deeply in love with alan wilder.

[@thomasjimenez3427]

I’m so in love

[@andychara9994]

miss you Alan 🙏

[@honeymoonavenue97]

He is so cute.

[@aniadelvecchio]

I adore him & his ability in playing the synth

[@KileyQ]

Boss!!! One of my favorite scenes from 101. Alan is wonderful, a true musician.

[@mswildergore]

Mine too. People make fun of this saying everyone fast forwards or goes to the bathroom, but I paid great attention to it. I even learned how to play that part of Black Celebration on this old Casio my uncle gave me years before,, after watching this scene many many times, lol :) Plus, he is one of my favourite members of DM. Such a musical genius...

[@kaivincenzigginemeth2789]

I was always wondering, this is NOT filmed at the Rosebowl... but i love how he explains the Set-Up .

[@junebaby166]

​@@mswildergore How can anyone not love this scene? Alan is adorable, so charming and smart.

[@skroll71]

I have always loved this little sequence from 101!

[@Lawtasaj]

The melodic part of Black Celebration makes me so sad and nostalgic 😢

[@eagletown8977]

Yeah I agree. It has that emotional load.

[@marsheart4355]

Alan is so sweet!

[@fonzerellie3518]

Wilder was the backbone of Depeche Mode .

[@untitled1464]

dear god alan wilder is an absolute genius, i started getting emotional after this clip ended i don’t know why? i guess i’m just overwhelmed by his intelligence. truly unique, would love to talk to him for hours as a respected musician and ask him all sorts of questions pertaining to life, music, and so forth :)

[@ockieungerer8911]

he makes it look so easy. brilliant musician.

[@margheritaascolano176]

How I love this man!! ❤️

[@hypnometal]

Love watching Alan geek out. 😁

[@canadude6401]

if I had a time machine, I would go back to the 101 tour, so I could see them in concert. One of my greatest regrets is not going to see them in those days.

[@pablo231072]

Alan....come back!

[@yuria_nihilisten]

Yes Alan, keep talking with your smooth voice

[@leejay2418]

Exactly. Well said!

[@jaroslawkozlowski1694]

Alan we love you with or without depeche mode😊!!!!

[@lisajohnson1528]

Love coming back to this x never gets old come back alan dm need ya

[@grimlund]

This is so cool...We have to remember that Gore did wrote most of his song playing the guitar. But without Alan and all his work to make Depeche sound the way they did this band would never ever be close to the sucess they actually did... Thumbs up everyone who loves the two big pads he got...

[@rikimarudonchelie1229]

that's why nowadays they sound crap and stale yet many would like to believe DM still capable of pulling hits...those days are gone with Black Celebration and Violator album... Wilder intricate layering of instrument plus his classical training really help them through after Vince left.

[@grimlund]

@@rikimarudonchelie1229 The first thing they should do is to throw away Eigners drum set. They should use a drum machine or a sampler. I think Eigners drumming just makes the songs crappier.

[@rikimarudonchelie1229]

@@grimlund i don't know who among them ever put that kind of idea - knowing among their influences is KRAFTWERK or synth-sty;e they should have stick with it...all these kinds of experimenting try to look and break like an alternative band with drum and guitar driven style definitely not living up to their style...probably they are going to that style to discredit with less synth driven style more on edgier sounds with guitars like SOFAD Alan last album with them.

[@grimlund]

@@rikimarudonchelie1229 Maybe the live drumming was Daves idea. Remember that he is in fact much in to rock'n roll. His favorite band is the Stones. And back in the early 90:s he was very much into the grunge thing.

[@rikimarudonchelie1229]

@@grimlund yeah probably and i hear his vices grow on everybody and probably only Alan was not into their substance abuse stuffs hobbies.

I love Alan's british accent

[@johnmantz4559]

Look alan at 1:40 when he is asked if sometimes forgets where the sounds are allocated in the keyboard..he seems so shy and guilty!!

[@danielmocha6368]

i loved alan wilder when he was young.i still love him.

[@CruceEntertainment]

How he acknowledged there was a time before him when he was not part of the band shows how humble he is. And perhaps a bit foreshadowing.

[@Oona707]

Oh man....❤❤❤

[@That_Smiling_Face]

Bravo, bravo and another one time bravo! :)

[@KuroMicra]

I'm a diehard DM fan and have been for many years. I have to say, as much as I love DM, I feel they were better with Alan Wilder present. Post Wilder was different, not as accessible. In my opinion, that's all.

[@dawnzilla]

KuroMicra i agree with you 100%! he brought a very needed darker element that i very much miss since his departure years ago. are you a Recoil fan? Also excellent, but DM with AW is still the best

[@yuria_nihilisten]

Completely agreed. I like DM all-time, but with Alan they were the best.

[@charles-alexandrecartron2881]

He should have never left DM they should have fought to keep him.

[@adrasteashadow]

Adrian Star Official thank you!! Fletch contributes nothing musically. He mostly does band management type stuff and is boring as hell on tour. Get Alan back in and do one last legendary, amazing DM record!!

[@maaczka]

and tour...

[@xXToxicXGirlXx]

Older comment here but I disagree about Fletch. I want Alan back as much as the next person but Fletch is one of the original members, even before Gahan, he and Martin are the reason why DM exists. And I feel like you have to give him credit for that. Without him the band would be nothing. I think it's easy to say, as a fan, that such and such members of the band should do such and such things but I also feel it's important to realize that they are their own people with their own wants and needs. DM obviously didn't appreciate Alan enough and I think it was fair for him to leave given the state the band was in at the time of his departure.

[@zeitesixx]

I´ll tell this, Andy owns the Depeche Mode name, he contributes absolutely nothing to Depeche Mode but "unfortunately" he founded the band and as I wrote he owns the name, different points of view about this and yes, I prefer Alan Wilder than Andy but this is the fact he can´t be rejected of the band.

[@abbyboyone]

@@zeitesixx yup 😕

[@chizmo7]

I think this guy is brilliant and a huge part of their sound for sure.

[@traciepearce1888]

He looked rather cute back then.☺️

[@TheShaitan2000]

This video right here is the main reason that I started the synths path. It was so unique to me like 'how can a keyboard do all these sounds and how come you can even edit it all the way you want it?' It is really an only forward path.

[@hakkespettajibby4665]

Hello, do you recognizehis synth ? It does not seem to be DX7

[@tebyg2188]
