Depeche Mode - Making of Playing The Angel (Filmed by Fletch, FletchCam)

[@Glynn1965]

Martin - you and Fletch singing Crazy together is the most wonderful tribute to his memory. Brings me to tears - beautiful. Fletch cam is the kind of footage we love - a chance to be present and just enjoy experiencing your world and remember your friendship. Memento Mori 💀

Just hearing Fletch’s voice breaks my heart

[@Jemppu]

Ha. Fletch exudes such dad-energy. Lovely to see this whole 'family dynamic', with all of its genuine banter, in the natural habitat; thank you for sharing :)

[@sorryimnothomerightnow]

Oh! Fletch and Martin singing Patsy Cline made my heart break. Sounds like Martin did use that country sticker. I'm trying to figure out if Martin was actually sleep. His eye looked open and then closed. Thank you soooo much for posting.

[@condemned1982]

He was struggling hard with his alcohol addiction at this point of time, mourning the loss of his first marriage. IIRC Dave and Fletch were really worried about him during the making of PTA.

[@jdestiny10153]

Martin is such a good musician and singer..👍

[@pennythepuppy2411]

Them having a whole conversation about bananas and potassium is kinda surreal 😂

[@tooniemama6959]

This is fabulous! I love seeing them in the studio. KZbin is really the best thing we have on the internet because we would never be able to see this amazing footage of Dave, Martin & Fletch! DM ❤️

[@jimspace]

Great video. And PTA is a great album, I love it!

[@KimEatsAnOreo]

I love how Dave just talks like 5min about Bananas hahahahahha Love him SM hahahah

[@ben-jammin9901]

So much material that I've never seen. Love it!

25:09 Crazyyyyy for loving youuuu… and then I Fall to Pieces

[@condemned1982]

I wish someone had properly recorded Martin singing and playing his heart out on "Crazy" - he was really living the emotion of that song since his wife was divorcing him at this time. Gotta love Fletch, but he ruined the moment with his "singing".

[@Ssunnsshinee]

Thank you for uploading this. So many fun bits. 🖤

[@irenalovecraft3478]

Thank you. When Fletch passed i was on rehab unfortunately. Or fortunately ( stil clean , well except for weed but that doesn't count, see, not "Everything Counts"😂_) . Kidding. But thank you sincerely. Depeche Mode saved my life so many times. Love, peace and respect. r.i.p.Fletch

“It might actually be good!” 🤣 8:45 “It’s got weirdness. Weird’s always good.” 9:13

[@artowen7183]

PTA, Ultra, Spirit and Exciter .... Just perfect albums.

8:25 Sounds to me like the basic idea of what could later evolve into "little soul".

[@Ssunnsshinee]

“Martin’s guitar is in an upright position, he’s trying to pretend that he’s Dave at the moment.”

[@depecheddurand]

how come the videos in the 60`s and 70`s are more clear and sharp than this?

[@mysilentface]

I'm by no means an expert on the topic but Fletch probably filmed this on an early 2000s camcorder, that's why the clips are 4:3 and 480p. Compression has probably also done something to the quality because the file sizes had to be as small as possible. These clips were made to be available on the DM website at the time and you had to download them with early 2000s download speeds.

[@JessicaLopez-hf1we]

Muchos criticaron a Fletch de no aportar nada, Alan fue el primero en decirlo. Sin embargo el tenía el trabajo mas importante y principal, mantenerlos unidos. Alan se salio de la banda y no pasó nada, pero murio Andy y Depeche Mode se acabó, simplemente ya no pudieron sostenerlo Dave y Martín solos.😢

[@katerinakopanidi8707]

What do you mean they were over? They released a new album and went on a tour after Andy's death you know

[@JessicaLopez-hf1we]

​@@katerinakopanidi8707si, pero leí que ése fue el último. Así se despidieron

[@katerinakopanidi8707]

​@@JessicaLopez-hf1weit's not certain, they might go on one last farewell tour (I really hope so at least🙏)

[@JessicaLopez-hf1we]

​@@katerinakopanidi8707sería increíble, me encanta el duo DM Dave Martin 😢
