Dave Gahan - Memento Mori interview for Virgin Radio Italy

Giulia Salvi caught up with Dave Gahan, the legendary frontman of Depeche Mode

[@dn9597]

I love that DM are still making "new music" instead of being a "reunion band" like most of bands from their era! God bless DM and thank you!!!

[@igualmente22]

exactly!!!

[@kballard72]

preach! not all records have been my favorites but I listen to all of them..

[@squiremuldoon5462]

Really wish they would just play the classics instead of making new forgettable albums every tour .

No.

[@mediashy4846]

Dave Gahan died for a few minutes when overdosing - he was brought back to life and then became sober. So he knows what he is talking about, and has come back to us to tell us how precious life is.

[@lishamarlar4597]

This interview is very interesting. And I'm glad David got himself together over the years. I'm sure dying for a few minutes scared him to get sober and live. I'm glad he is here.

[@BarkingLondon]

@@jimgravesus that made me laugh! 👌🏻😆😆😆

[@riccardoverera7294]

Its's a survivor

[@ConnectBookings]

This is the best interviewer in the history of all Depeche interviews.

[@brody5211]

Ah here .

[@docroxchannel]

I think too

[@rationalmuscle]

Yes. Europeans know how to get out the way. American journalists (well, there are only about 5), so I should say, those pretending to be journalists, are activists and narcissists looking to be seen rather than to hear someone else. A wonderful change of pace it is to hear someone who isn't that way.

[@luca20377]

Totally agree with you

[@tribeshift]

She is indeed excellent.

[@blackwickedheart]

I could listen to Dave Gahan talk endlessly ❤

[@Zenstation]

This is a fantastic interview. I really liked the depth in her questions. Very different from the usual DM interviews.

[@thankyouforyourcompliance7386]

What a straight forward, even humble interview. No pop talk, no junky rubbish. A nice talk about music and relationships.

[@angelam2562]

Martin will always be my McDreamy, but Dave has my heart. Always open, real and vulnerable, he's is the conduit of the music with the listener, an interpreter or catalyst of the art. He's an amazing front man, and I love that he has been contributing his writing over the later half of the band's career.

[@mandrake1802]

bellissima intervista, complimenti Giulia! Dave è veramente una persona gentile e garbata. Viva i Depeche Mode.

[@sandragiorgi7373]

2days ago I was dying! I had resigned myself to passing! Ghosts again was the song I’ve had on repeat. Somehow I made it and will see you guys live in concert no matter the material cost! ❤🤘

One life . Long gone . Life is what you make it , each step towards a better future, be strong go for it & enjoy life & the concert. I wish you the best & really have Faith you will get there everyone is carrying something it's how you tackle it . Sod it do your best care not if you are not everyone's cup of tear 😢

[@robertgarscadden]

This is by far the best interview and interviewer I've seen so far.🎶

[@mafcarvalho]

Loved the interview! Dave is such a nice guy who crawled really deep in life but rose up and fighted the hard way. DM is one of the most important bands for me. Looking forward to the album Memento Mori and the tour. If they can come to Portugal in 2024, I will do (almost) anything for a ticket. 😁

[@natree9088]

I would not go as far as to say it's the best interview, but it is one of them. As someone said below - thanks to the intelligent interviewer/questions. Too many interviewers ask the wrong questions, stupid questions, predictable questions that bore the hell out of DM.

[@onlyonce1707]

She's a lovely interviewer and brings out the best in Dave.

[@SarahBasques]

Love listening to Dave speak about music & everything. 🖤

[@arkadiuszhoub1030]

I love DM! I have all the discography of them! Can't wait for new album! Ghosts Again is an amazing song and Memento Mori gonna be a great album! I know it for sure!

[@claudiovernellidabeli35]

Che genere fanno?

[@elenaevivisone8209]

@@claudiovernellidabeli35 Ciao🌚 Affermatisi sulla scena synth pop britannica agli inizi degli anni 80, la loro fama si è protratta ed accresciuta negli anni. Attraverso una proficua carriera lunga quattro decenni,hanno abbracciato attraverso l'utilizzo dell'elettronica più di un genere musicale, con larghe concessioni al pop rock e alla new save, specie nella seconda fase, e una massiccia incursione nella dance alternativa. Con oltre 100 milioni di dischi venduti in tutto il mondo, diversi gruppi e artisti provenienti da tutti i generi musicali influenzati dai loro lavori e numerose cover delle loro canzoni realizzate, i Depeche Mode sono uno dei gruppi più influenti nella storia della musica elettronica. La nota rivista musicale britannica "Q" li ha definiti "la band elettronica più popolare e longeva che il mondo abbia mai conosciuto", e Rolling stone "la quintessenza della musica elettronica degli anni ottanta".

[@lucat5479]

Bella intervista, anche grazie a Giulia Salvi. David Gahan è rimasto la stessa semplice e gentile persona di 40 anni fa, quando li scoprii, ascoltando per la prima volta "Just can't get enough", con il mio primo walkman, innamorandomene, era poco più che un gruppo di nicchia ai tempi. Lui e Martin Gore sono proprio delle belle persone.

[@AggroSkater79]

Wonderful, contemporary music rarely has a significant meaning that I can find. Listening to Depeche Mode is a way I honored my husband after he passed in 2016. Enjoy the Silence, really brought me peace and comfort. The new album, provokes a lot of personal symbology in the title and the release date of the album; as that was the day my loved one, passed. Thank you, Memento Mori

I think Depeche Mode's music has always been a combination of euphoria and melacncholy, and given the fact that the conceptual framework for this album is the subject of finding light in the face of one's own mortality, I really do believe it has the potential to be one of their best.
