[@mildred714]

It’s like an ET and Elliot, relationship. Just works.

[@SkyeID]

Dave is like a cat: he has 9 lives! With all that has happened to his body in the 90's when he was a drug addict, and again in 2009 when he had cancer, it's amazing that he's still alive! Dude's got super human strength!

[@monstermom4358]

He deserve the chances, now he's been clean for over 15 years and that's awesome! He deserve every great things in the world after he's struggles, you're so right, he's a superman, a fighter !

[@mildred714]

Apparently he was earning the reputation around la from the cops and paramedics as the Cat. You’re a magic man, Dave. Admirable strength for beating it.

[@jeshkam]

He even outlived Fletch.

[@chantallbalqees7925]

He is so reflective, honest and humble, I have so much respect for him, then and now. He is one of the few big musicians that keep his feet on the ground. Great respect from me. And his smile in his eyes is so deep and truly.💗to Dave and DM

[@traciepearce1888]

🌹Dave looked so young then and is still handsome to this day. And I love his sweet smile 🤠

[@asiya6316]

I admire his natural cute teeth too☺

This guy gives me so much hope. Yes, there are still beautiful men of integrity out there. They really do exist.

He still have child and smile of a little boy ...❤️

[@Syria-fz1rl]

Dave today is May 28, 2017...exactly 21 years ago on this same day your Heart stopped beating for two minutes. Big respect for you Dave, it is incredible that you survived to all That. You are Amazing

[@bruinman1012]

During this interview Dave was 35, a year after almost dying from a Heroin overdose and he looks like he’s still in his mid twenties 😮. A truly Amazing individual.

[@pennythepuppy2411]

My favorite Dave interview. He’s so open and vulnerable. It’s also great to see his humour and genuine smile back after years of darkness. I can’t imagine a world where he didn’t make it back to us.

[@mathiasschro1512]

I am listening to him for 40 years now but never really cared much for interviews. But this one really is something. He is charming as hell. And honest. "Every day I get a little bit of David back. (...) I lost it somewhere." Heart wrenching stuff in this interview. Glad he made it (not only the interview ... you know what I mean).

[@JustAnnaD]

He comes across as such a genuinely nice and honest person. Shame about the drugs past but he managed to overcome it so deserves great respect just for that alone. And so hot as well! Depeche Mode is my greatest love since childhood and get better and better.

[@evadel4359]

Drugs was part of his journey. Like he said learn. and be disciplined. Being clinically dead for 9 minutes was another journey. He has to go through them himself to duly understand himself an overcome whatever demons he may himself have to.

[@nomytheone]

I love how smiley he is in this interview, he seems kinda light, if that makes sense; such a beautiful soul I feel like

[@rachellewis3272]

Incredibly sweet man, I so envy his wife, wow! Wishing dave his wife and all of his family blessings in abundance. An incredibly sweet soul.

[@TheLorylee]

Dave has an electric light about him...he is humble, honest and a little shy. Here in this interview and still, now (2024), his electricity is the same!! Im grateful we still have him with us all and i gather so much strength from what all he hes overcome. I will listen to depeche until the day i die! They will definatley play a song in the background of my memorial!! Love your light, Dave....you are my oxegen✨

[@aur485]

ULTRA era... one of my favorite!

[@brody5211]

“I wear Martin’s feelings on my sleeve... and they fit.” 4:24

[@antoniabermudezann4233]

Sounds so,so Sensitive, doesn't it? He's always felt like being less than Mart, you know, I'm only the singer that's it, nothing really superior" more or less of course! Nowadays he still says so, but without Feeling Under Mart's spell!!! It's a way of saying It, My way! Hahaaaa

[@czanjhzabala8953]

Ano? (Means 'what' in Tagalog) cause I am Filipino now

[@kyetakat75]

❤️❤️❤️

[@davesdevotee8526]

he should forever be respected as a HUMAN BEING! I´m sure he´s a perfect role-model for lots of people who went through the same prob or are right now into the probs he´s had in the past...now he´s back&found to himself! That´s so wonderfull:))))))

[@jacencib]

It's inspiring that after his heroin adventures and after he nearly died that he managed to quit not only opiates up until today but all of them drugs (incl. alcohol). Probably does have enough ppl to care.

[@jacquelinee8994]

He is gorgeous. Those eyes...those lips

[@jenwendy7]

I've been listening to these guys for almost 40 years and never heard an interview. I heard about his addiction and things throughout the years and of course it bummed me out. He is truly lovely ❤

[@midnightwitch606]

His beautiful face matches his beautiful personality and cute laugh, I love him so much 💋💋💋❤️❤️❤️

[@caroldonnis322]

Great interview with a lot of soul-baring. He knows the drill - best wishes to him to stay the course! Thank you for your gift of music.

He is so Ultra! Crushing now an always. He is so honest. Strong man to kick herion. Love u Dave!

[@arianna251085]

he's so sweet

[@80sWavrDude]

Love his hair!

[@TheKingKorg]

Probably best interview i ever watched with any musician, not to say a star or a legend. Yes unfortunately as a musician you have to play certain games you dont like and it does hurt!

[@MuffinstoMangos]

He is so cute!!

[@Trish-bj5sl]

❤love to him on his sobriety through out the years we love Dave ❤. I can relate to his early history I am telling the world I am six months clean on 26th Sunday of my addiction of 8yrs. It not easy but I ❤ be here😊

[@Breezy_Summer]

Congrats on what I hope is over a year of being clean at this point. I have someone who I really hope can do the same at some point.

[@youejtube7692]

Thank you Dave of 1997 - I needed to hear a lot of this today, especially 14:43 - I'm not a musician but about life in general - don't take yourself too seriously, have a good time. Thank you Dave, for your humble honesty and willingness to bare your sweet soul. xo

[@bruinman1012]

Dave Gahan is a survivor and thriver. He’s a living Rock God!

[@MaidenBklyn]

possibly my favorite Dave interview! thank you!

[@lpsglitterpaws8536]

I love him all the more after seeing this interview. I saw DM in San Francisco December 3rd 2023. I consider myself lucky to have been there.

[@grimlund]

I heard that Steven Tyler said one time that it is easier for an addict to sell 100 million albums then to get clean and stay sober. I think it´s fucking true. Dave has been clean for seventeen years now. It´s amazing.

[@antoniabermudezann4233]

This comment was 7 years ago, so by now he's supposed to be Clean about 23 or 24 years!What a GREAT 👌🏻♥️ CHALLENGE!!

[@grimlund]

@@antoniabermudezann4233 I think that Dave took the last trip of heroin in May 1996. That was when he died and came back to life. So its 25 years now in May.

[@antoniabermudezann4233]

@@grimlund Emm I don't know exactly when but I do remember watching quite a lot of Vids listening to Mart saying Dave kept on H in secret for a let's say another 8 or 9 months or even a year more! Nobody knew It, not even Mart his BEST Friend!! Actually I think in This Interview Dave doesn't say It clearly, but he says (And it's still going on) or something like that, you know! I'm not completely Sure, of course not, but I think he didn't really Stop, give up H till 1997!! Not as much as the years before though... Anyway he gave up!! Good For Him... It's not that easy at all...

[@grimlund]

@@antoniabermudezann4233 Yeah. Martin said that he couldnt see If Dave was on H or not. The Ultra album took over a year to make. Mostly because of Daves problems. You can be right about that Dave most likely kept using on and of the whole of 1996. There are a lot of guilt and shame around addiction. I dont think Dave wants to talk about that time of his years really.

[@gnelms24]

16:33 the funniest part of the interview was when Dave says I rather have people listening to us than the Spice Girls LOL. But seriously, we're glad that Dave is alive, happy and healthy today. ❤

[@sorryimnothomerightnow]

Him saying that he looked forward to seeing some of his friends made me teary eyed.

[@rebeccasorensen7925]

Love listening to this interview. Saw Depeche Mode last week in Vegas. Amazing concert. Love in this interview how he talks about finding Dave again after rehab and how he almost didn't think it was possible. He's real.

[@laetitiarichard]

Toutes les interviews de David sont supers 🥰 Ce gars ne parle pas pour rien dire 👏

[@paolapecorini1934]

We must take into account that he was abandoned by his biological father since he was born. Gahan is the name of his step father. Such a negative experience marks your young life, especially if you are too sensitive. Glad he overcame all that at last thanks to his talent and professional and human engagement

[@skylasomnium2152]

"You have to play certain games and sometimes it doesn't feel so good" that, that right there could not be more relevant to the music industry and the viciousness, in fact not just in music in pretty much every industry that exists, there's so much competition we sometimes forget to enjoy what we do.

There is nothing infantile, characteristic of a child, neither in his behavior nor in his appearance. He is a handsome, masculine, intelligent man. Being kind-hearted, honest, sensitive - does not mean being like a child or infantile, but to be humane, a person with a capital letter - with a developed intellect, morality and emotional sphere !

16:09 Great quote !

[@TheSamSamProduction]

Yes it is!!!

[@Watcher3223]

Bitteulze It sure is a great quote. And, what makes it really hit hard is that Depeche Mode is timeless. The Spice Girls ... I facetiously ask who they are.

[@Bitteulze]

...who they "were":D. They were just a product. ...With boobs and ponytails and a variety of hair color and styles.

[@Watcher3223]

Bitteulze "Who they were." True. The Spice Girls have become has-beens to the point of never-weres. Ask someone who a "Spice Girl" is and they'll wonder if you're inquiring about a spokeswoman for McCormick Seasonings.

[@bruinman1012]

Dave looks the same at 35 as he did at 28😱

[@kometenmelodie3626]

I can't understand why he decided to cut his hair so short, the hairstyle he had in early 1997 (BOAG and ING videos) suited him much more. Maybe it had to do with wanting to get rid of an "addict" look and going back to a "clean" image, but I've always thought he looked far better with longish hair when he was younger. Of course now that he's 51 he looks fine with short hair. (look at Nick Cave's hairstyle now: it sucks)

[@pepper1188]

He is always beautiful...but he was gorgeous with his long hair.

[@antoniabermudezann4233]

I like him with the 1997 hairstyle! When Ultra came out! Neither very long nor very short! You know what he looked like,don't you? GORGEOUS! SIMPLY GORGEOUS! His Face in general, is So,So Beautiful ♥️👌🏻 that I honestly believe long hair covers It, & a very short haircut was too childish at that very moment... Well it's my opinion of course, but Most people have the same opinion as you, Both Of YOU! OH NO! Excuse me! The 1st comment Said exactly what I thought, I didn't read It right! How silly!!
