I really think DM is very popular , in America. Take a look on the live DVD , 101.

[@rculver101]

@@pascalmarfaing1690 it's no comparison to their popularity in Europe... while growing up I felt like I was the only one who liked them, or even knew any of their songs. I appreciate that their music still stands up today, and are being discovered and enjoyed by younger people

The video of Strange Love was filmed in Paris. Look the beautiful Eiffel Tower ! In 1982 , Depeche Mode was in concert with the French band , Indochine. In the 80's , Depeche Mode was successful , first in France. They were in concert at Bercy , with 13000 people ! It was a premiere.

[@CorleoneDiscoStar]

Gives me thrills since '87 About that time I was 11 and started falling in love with their music. Never got bored.

[@thekevindeucey]

If you've never seen DM live you haven't lived your fullest life yet. In fact, I'd say their live performances are a large part of why they were inducted into The R&R Hall of Fame.

[@stevenkendall3092]

You can't get out of their '80s repertoire without looking at and reacting to "Master and Servant" official video.

[@timothymiller803]

Omg!! The remix is taking me back to the clubs! Depeche was the shit at the alt clubs or alt-themed nights in 1987... yeah we had alt clubs then...I first saw them in concert in Pittsburgh 1988 in a small basketball arena, seating capacity of 3,500...I lucked out and got same day just released tickets in the 2nd row...I think the remix was played on the radio too then

[@MsRadar23]

Damn I’m jealous, I live in Pittsburgh so that makes it cooler, which venue was it?

[@timothymiller803]

@MsRadar23 That first time I saw Depeche Mode was at the AJ Palumbo Center on Duquesne's campus. Front/Second row seats were released the morning of the concert and my friend scored 3 tickets. I believe the same year him and I saw The Information Society on CMU's campus in a ballroom! Crazy!

[@lordraiden5398]

I will never forget the night "Flies on the Windscreen" was played on Miami Vice. My friend called me and we both lost our minds.

[@thaylok1530]

For sure, my favorite group of all time. So much power, so much meaning, so relaxing while invigorating at the same time. You could grab every album and go through every song and I'd be just as riveted as when i crank it up while I'm WFH. I would love to see a reaction to the "Cause and Effect" song, "You Think You Know Her." One of my sons friends confuses them with DM, but he still has plenty to learn.

[@jenniferlynsanin]

I meet Depeche Mode backstage in Austin for their Music for the Masses tour. This song had me dancing in every club on 6th street. So happy to see you enjoy this as much as I do! Love your channel by the way!

[@adamdodgshon638]

This was the first single from Music For The Masses. It followed Black Celebration which was as dark as anything they had ever done. I think this album brought that darkness to the dance floor. Phenomenal song from a phenomenal band.

I’ve been listening to them since 83, the first show I saw them for was the “ Black Celebration “ album tour in 1986.

[@carlosmodegahan4455]

Hi Derek, Awesome concept of reacting to the video and remix versions back to back. Depeche Mode have a lot of songs from the 80’s and 90’s where the album and remix versions are both great and different from each other! Great job with this idea!!! Thank you 👍

[@emilen2]

I stumbled onto the Razormaid remix of this song 20 years ago. I still find it the best version.

[@carlosdabdoub6027]

[@NoMoneyG]

Love DM & have a biased view for them, but I've also been into remixes since I was a teenager! Love the originals, but loved slightly different takes on the same song! Not just extended, but a pure remix! Thanks for doing both Dereck!😉😜

[@ohfour-seven6228]

I had quite a few different 12" remixes of this song, and you picked my favorite version, thanks! I believe all of the Depeche Mode songs you've played all had remixes; all the remixes were wonderful. One more Depeche Mode suggestion for you, It's No Good from the Ultra album. Wonderful. I prefer the album version verses the video, the video shortchanges the opening of the song. Also you mention a remix by Bomb the Bass. Bomb the Bass was Tim Simenon, an English producer and musician. His song Beat Dis (extended version) included over 25 different samples and was incredible. He also did a cover of Say A Little Prayer For You, the old Dionne Warwick song, that was really great. It's all good stuff!!!

[@TheoVascos]

My favourite song!!!

[@dqdreams8251]

Their live concerts are great..DM best band ever

[@sonnyjames8922]

The instrumental is mostly Alan Wilder, I presume Martin Gore, too. Not sure what Andrew Fletcher did. Dave Gahan, I used to idolize that guy's voice. The Smiths, Morrissey, and Depeche were my first loves in music, I was a freshman in high school at the time. Depeche did a great song in 1985 called "Shake The Disease", you should hear it!

[@Barbu_Deluxe]

Love the way the blind mix, extend the song without destroying the structure of It. So many remixes loose the heart of songs with transforming them so much that it is in the end nothing to recognize from the original

[@Braedensground]

'Beat Me Hurt Me Show Me You Care! Dereck! This was my Super Fave in 1987 my college DJ Years. It packed the dancefloor! There are at least 10 remixes to this track. Probably more. The last official remix I bought on vinyl in 1990 or 1992 was titled ' Strangelove- The Final' Likely more unofficial remixes released. Cheers!

[@MrShidokan]

He Deeck, Thank you for the loving heart you gave me on my comment for CC Catch song. You made my day amigo :) Besides my dream of you reacting to Micheal Cretu - Samuria, I strongly suggest you reaction to Cameo - Word up. An absolute must breakdance of the '80s

[@andinagymihaly4792]

Oh you’d love Photographic from DM too 🙂👍🏻🎹🎹

[@dimahkhan5203]

Depeche Mode has been in my all time top 3 bands alongwith ABBA and Duran Duran. Been a fan since I heard New Life, See You and one my favorites Depeche Mode song Leave In Silence (you should check it out especially the remixes). Never disappointed especially in the 80s and early 90s. Their music completely changed once Alan Wilder left the band and they became a kind of synth metal band but still loving their sound.

[@sebastiencalandrini9650]

Just wait until you react to SHAKE THE DISEASE, Dereck!

[@Linda-hq5uv]

Agree! 👌😉

[@mikeBlogic]

"Shake the disease" or "stripped" will blow him away

[@arnaudh.681]

Nothing live. So sexy.

[@patricelion902]

one of the best

[@RobbnCO]

... yes !! now on to Master and Servant -

[@DuctedDj]

I imagine that the remix you should have reacted to is the Strangelove (Maxi-Mix), that the remix that was played at the time in clubs. You also have the '87 remixes (Midi-Mix) (Blind Mix) and (Pain Mix). The remix you have heard is practically the same version as the original.

[@wngimageanddesign9546]

The first release of Strangelove was the high BPM dance version, released as a single for clubs. Then the album version is slowed down. And this Remix is based on the album version. There is a more industrial remix that is more synth and aggressive. But the best IMHO, is still the first fast release for the clubs! This is one Depeche Mode's best songs. Iconic song of kinky sex.

[@johnj28]

Blind Mix was always my favorite!

[@jorgem140]

I first fell in love with DM after hearing Strangelove and they’ve been my favorite since. The Pain Remix is awesome too!

[@pierre-yvespoulard6617]

DM is definetely a major group for music in the late 20th century Both music, clearly recognisable, and lyrics, always full of desperate hope, reflect the violence of our time, the violence of relationships in our capitalistic world

[@onsesejoo2605]

It's been claimed that Alan Wilder largely did the arrangements to Martin Gore's writing and ideas. Nevertheless the sounds have not dated as much some sounds of the club hits of the era have done. At the same time, the influence of Kraftwerk can be heard on the top of the snare drum sound, the whipping one which also appears as effect here and there, e.g 4:30 plus.

[@condemned1982]

If you hear the demos, you'll realize Alan's role (while important), is a bit overstated by fans... in most cases, Martin's home demos have the majority of elements already present. Alan was great at enhancing, but he definitely wasn't a co-writer in any respect.

[@onsesejoo2605]

@@condemned1982 I am neither pro nor con on it and it is a common case of quarrels in any band.

[@danielet612]

in fact, the dated ones are out of context of the existence of alan wilder in the group, thankfully!

Hey Dereck what it the process to recommend videos to you. I love your reactions!!

"Strangelove '88" has a video, too. lol. I'm gonna assume it's geo-blocked in the U.S.?

[@andreassn5050]

Oh! This is the Bomb the Bass remix, actually (also known as the Highjack remix): kzbin.info/www/bejne/gnunkn1rntWDfrM The best one, imo. Though you can't really go wrong with any version.

[@depechefan1982]

The 80s & 90s remixes from DM are Top Notch! I always bought them. I would say better than the Album Version. All of their songs were big Dance hits! Keep them coming please! DM is my all-time favorite Band.

[@Debord1]

If you want to do more mixes, I just say: Stripped - Highland Mix. Autstanding!

[@djkenny1202]

I love the maxi mix. A true extended version of the 87 version. I have a slight preference for the first version. Raw. Lots of layers of sounds.

[@yuledgarceballosvargas4998]

I’m pretty surer that was an extended version and not a true remix. The tempo really changes in sometimes of the many remixes that were created by various different people. Please listen to some of them and you can surely have a lot of material for another video. I’m completely sure you will LOVE some of the versions even more than the original!

[@yeeshah]

You HAVE TO react to "Little 15", also from the album Music for the Masses. You will not regret it.

[@Zhorellski]

Strangelove has a lot of cool 12" remix, from Blind Mix , Pain Mix, Maxi mix and Highjack mix.. But this remix sounds like a blend of Blind Mix and the Single Mix and it's not on their official 12" vinyl.

[@gray6071]

[@DereckReacts]

[@williewhite7797]

[@SebGeddy]

Awesome track from DM. My favorite from "Music for the Masses", along with "Never Let Me Down Again". The video has aged very well. I don't think the first video your reacted to is even the original version from the album...

[@Tebitebi]

Yes, it is the original

[@Blackmallowtube]

Remix vs original is a great concept to continue for 80s songs. You really need to compare the Rock me Amadeus original vs the Salieri Remix to appreciate how a remix can make an good song into a classic (which is almost a different song...but the same). Depeche Mode and New Order have multiple versions of their remixes.

[@Metrosplash]

Love your observations, but I do think your lyrics that are an inherent aspect of Depeche Mode. “Because You Have To Make This Life, Livable”,That spoke to me decades ago. Part of that “ I am what I am” ethos, but with more dance ability vibes. Or I’m totally wrong…

[@melrose1991]

Depeche are at their best live. If you want 80s synth react to their 101 live, or perhaps 90's dark sound react to devotional live.

[@EiffelNord]

For 2022, I stil want/desire/enjoy a Fereck Reacts for : _ Hold Me, Thrill Me, Kiss Me, Kill Me (U2) _ One Night in Bangkok (Murray Head) _ Désir, désir (Laurent Voulzy x Véronique Jannot) _ Passe... comme tu sais (Julia) _ Luna (Alessandro Safina x Romano Musumarra) _ Comment te dire adieu (Jimmy Sommerville x June Miles Kingston) _ Dur dur d'être bébé (Jordy)... for the fun !? A little bit of INXS, Richard Gotainer and some 90's techno hits (2 Unlimied, Latino Party, Ace of Base, Crystal Waters, S'Express...) and more of Alain Chamfort, Björk, Depeche Mode, Kate Bush, MC Solaar, Yelle... and 80's songs

Alan Wilder was the musician of the band, when he left, so did the music. All albums after Songs of faith and devotion are in a downward spiral. I gave Ultra and Exciter a try, but it does not sound as good as it should.

when you name the band members at 6:26 you miss ALAN WILDER who is the main reason DM has become THAT successful. without alan wilder you would probably have never got to know the band at all. seriously. i'm happy you react to these songs, but makes me incredibly sad that you didn't mention him. :( remember his name, please: the one and only ALAN WILDER. (btw, you mentioned andy flatcher at the keyboards who has absolutely NOTHING to do with the sound and dm music in general. he does nothing but clapping his hands on tours. the only one reason he's still in the band is that martin gore and him are lifelong friends.)

@@DereckReacts if you do, Dereck, it's the Enjoy the silence 2004, it has its own music video and it's so different and great.
