Failure - Enjoy The Silence

Failure doing a cover of Depeche Modes "Enjoy The Silence" on 6/1/97 in Houston.

[@SurfacedSUN]

Failure and Hum deserve so much more recognition.

[@amberd.h.w7667]

This is how all covers should be philosophically speaking... Paying overt homage (evoking / invoking) the authentic material, while infusing the inspiration & inherent powerful reactive take the original had upon the cover artist (with a significant dose of their style).

[@EllakGr]

Couldn't have written it better myself. It takes a lot of intelligence and sensitivity musically to do that. This is a perfect example of that mindset imo.

[@DietMoney]

Out of the million zillion gillion covers of this song, this is easily the best.

[@joemcomber4415]

The drums at 1:18 before it breaks into the heavier part of the song always gets me. It was a great touch that added something to the original.

[@TehW00terMan]

I've been listening to this cover for years. One of my favorite songs. You don't see the breakdown coming. Totally changes the direction of the song. Brilliant.

[@ramzoidx]

Well, you come to expect the breakdown after you’ve heard Failure’s version, I’ve heard literally 20 versions other than this, including Linkin Park’s Mike Shinoda, and no one goes as hard, even the lead guitar with those bends just give the song what, in my opinion, needs. DM is great, they wrote it, but Failure, redefined it!!!

[@berval5948]

best cover ever from this song!!!!

[@altizzy]

one of the greatest 90s band of all time. plain in black...rip

[@TheJurneyMan]

That there is Troy from Queens of the Stone Age at 2:15 for the few of you that didn't know. Another really awesome band.

[@eschermond]

That there is Troy from Failure who went on to play in Queens of the Stone Age. Another really awesome band.

[@evanadams815]

@@eschermond That is Troy from Failure who play in Queens of the Stone Age. Another awesome band.

[@foodog777]

That them are Troy who played im Failure, A Perfect Circle am QOTSA. He no sum good picking’ wit no grinnen.

[@mariafantasma4409]

Beat me by 3 years on this one​@@evanadams815

[@lustalgia...]

such a great voice

[@photojustin]

I saw them cover this at the Seattle show. One of my top 5 shows ever...

[@dklustick]

At 1:22 HOW ARE THOSE PEOPLE NOT LOSING THEIR GOD DAMN MONGROL MINDS!!!

[@auxemoron87]

I first heard of Failure in the early 2000s. Year of the Rabbit opened for A Perfect Circle in 2003, and I had Ken Andrews fever. Failure is incredible wish they would come back

[@deadpoolrp]

I believe they did!

[@vicmal2112]

They OWN this!!!!!!!

[@larf06]

wow that does make me feel old. i still feel like i'm 17 at heart.

[@MartinRiosArellano]

I remember this song in the CD "For The Masses" the tribute for Depeche Mode and I like it very much. Thanks for the vid!!!

[@chessunderground]

This is really a great cover. Most covers suck but this is really good. Nice

[@slashgee7827]

This video is a gem, really captured a special performance by an incredible band.

[@ejicon]

Sounds JUST like the recorded track. Amazing!

[@unplayedpiano7039]

Just Discovered Failure. Stoked

[@billycorgan08]

Damn straight.... i've been trying to plug em to my friends for the last 3-4 years to no avail

[@akiratron]

best song on the DM cover album. O melhor cover que já vi do Depeche Mode. Muito bom.

[@QuantumAwakening86]

One of my favourite bands covering one of my favourite songs. Absolute perfection.

[@manabusama]

I've been listening to covers of this song all day, and this is one of my favourites.

[@HappyMOGS]

It's niece to see Failure get some (belated) recognition.

[@jserg259]

i love this band

[@larf06]

used to walk to school everyday to highschool. it would either be alice in chains self titled or this album fantastic planet. i just had to have those albums in my tape player walkman. those times are uncomparable.

[@grohlgrohl]

[@Vulcan1x]

One of my favorite songs ever played by one of my favorite bands ever.

[@eowynmb]

[@PEIN19218]

Failure is one of the best cover "Enjoy The Silence" in the whole youtube till now :)

[@borikua2007]

OMG!!!!! It still sounds good

[@FGSRFunLol]

Oh and this video is WONDERFUL quality for being 11 years old. I wish I could have seen Failure, but this is a really good way to see how it might have been!

[@love4lunch]

[@Lymmar]

My cousin's 7 year old asked him what a tape player was the other day...We're getting old, bro.

[@jesseguerin7094]

Awesome cover!!!!!

[@the_nothing]

They must have played Houston after Seattle... remember them saying it was the first time they did ETS live at the Seattle... Should have been winter/spring of 1997 if i remember correctly... after this tour they hopped on Lollapalooza... thanks again for this.

[@SerpentineandBLACK]

great cover.

[@TheScottw]

Love the cover. I wish I could find a metal version of Strangelove.

[@Krstoffer]

awesome cover.. nuff said

[@gsartavia]

really nice!!

[@Krylockable]

I have said that entire paragraph so many times while discussing this band.

[@newredroses]

Thank you for uploading this ♥

[@WALLYDRAG502]

I didnt know they were covering it as well as this back then. Kinda cool.

[@devotedghosts]

I still love their cover of "Enjoy the Silence". Lacuna Coil's is good, but I loved this one first.

[@h1ghon1nformat1on]

So good. Thanks for posting this!

[@boiboi5]

Awesome vid!

[@aaronwardsemail]

Went to show my friend this band and found this. It's also funny we live in Houston and had been to this venue.

[@CarbonSkyline]

omg you guys rock, thanks for sharing such a great song

[@xlilknowiitallx07]

really enjoyed this a lot :)

[@SirPlacenta]

Are you fucking serious? This is the BEST cover ever.

[@albertuz69]

i really love this alternative version of Failure

[@madr0x]

awesome cover! one of the better ones i've heard

[@ThomN5]

They're good!

[@afa78djd]

These dudes fucking Rocked!!!.. worthy like hell of a Depeche Mode cover,, Failure?..what an Ironic name for a kick ass band.

[@MohnBeans]

It isn't as good as the original. It fucking owns the original in every way possible. Ken Andrews conveys so much more soul. The original is so... robotic. This is angelic.

[@cahuamohot]

excelente

[@deadline27]

me and josh mckinley love this band so that makes them awesome.

[@steveomatic]

great cover, come to DC or Baltimore so I can catch it live.

[@cvergarac]

very nice cover

[@Jovabeyt]

niceeee

[@ansofie92]

yeah !! :p

[@ChevyHerron]

@GeorgeWashingtonX thats just what makes them so special, nobody that i know knows who failure is. but it is ashame everyone else never got to hear

[@monotematicosyaaaaay]

[@captscurlock]

@ejicon The bassist from depeche mode says he actually thinks failure did this song better. MUSICAL GENIUSES

[@wolfhorsky]

Drummer gives realy nice powerful beat.

[@velvetants]

Check out Blinker The Star. Kellii Scott on drums there too. Incredible drummer.

[@cutloose01]

züperrr

[@MikeMcGannon]

that was actually fucking good, better than most of the Artist covers I've seen

[@SirGalac]

One of the best DM ES cover!!! ANother great DM ES cover are performed by: - Lacuna Coil - Moonlight

[@d3p3ch3mod3]

probably still the best depeche mode cover. and there are fuck tons of them. failure kicks ass.. which one of them is in a perfect circle again?

[@DanielOtzoy]

much better than others

[@raybirdman]

this cover was on a depeche mode tribute album. if you search hard enough you should be able to find it.

[@Duster5000]

I wouldn't say they are any better than Nirvana. Really is apples and oranges. I feel they just came out at the wrong time. Fantastic Planet is an amazing album but it had no place in the "Grunge" world of the early mid nineties.

[@velvetants]

🤘

[@lhp70]

I saw Iron Maiden for the first time 2 years ago and I felt 12 again.

[@lashtal]

does anybody have the recorded version? that rocks

[@kurtisurban]

a lot of people like this song more than the original including one of the members of Depeche Mode but I forget which one

[@aionescu19]

troy van leeuwen on solo guitar...genius

[@baelspire3897]

love this version i wanna do failures version though

[@raybirdman]

Andrew Fletcher of Depeche Mode said that he actually prefers their cover over his band's original version. i've heard alot of covers of this song. the sad part is i don't compare them to the original. i compare them to this.

[@jermspfan]

i think he's talking about Troy Van Leeuwen, who was part of Failure and then joined Billy Howerdel with A Perfect Circle. Troy wasn't the singer for Failure, Andrew was

[@mysafetysharvard]

the singer was born and raised in seattle, but they formed in la

[@cheaplightning]

@joemc83 Pretty sure he means lollapalooza. Korn dropped out and they got bumped up to the main stage.

[@peaco1000]

As covers go, that was pretty good.

[@sopranoaf]

1997 Ozzfest Lineup * Main Stage: Black Sabbath, Ozzy Osbourne, Marilyn Manson (started June 15), Pantera, Type O Negative, Fear Factory, Machine Head, Powerman 5000 Second Stage: Coal Chamber, Slo Burn, Drain STH, downset., Neurosis, Vision of Disorder You're a Failure. Don't hate.

[@brianbig5583]

Not just failure. DEFTONES FAR WILL HAVEN FAILURE shiner hum helmet mesuggah. its endless. all the bands that YOUR music want to be.

[@dklustick]

Glad you mention Deftones, the best alt-metal band ever. Another 90s treasure.
