[@reallymysterious4520]

Next song from them is Policy of Truth

[@SuperCommando60]

well DM is a rabbit hole to fall into. THE foundational alt wave synth band of 80's and 90's. Quasi-goth, danceable

[@njg247]

Ain't that the truth.

[@boqndimitrov8693]

A legendary band with a huge influence. Without hesitation, I recommend EVERY one of their many hits! A small spoiler - don't always expect the same thing from them; they have their own style, but part of it is their tendency to experiment! 😊

[@therosabella67]

Depeche Mode are great, and their songs are timeless.

Depeche Mode "People Are People" 🔥❤️🔥

Depeche Mode - STRANGE LOVE one of their best from the 80s

[@njg247]

Oh my goodness Steven, you've hit gold here. Been going since 1981 and still going strong. They are phenomenal live. They have such a catalogue to explore that it's hard to know where to start. They are hugely influential. They started out as a synth band from Essex in England and experimented with sounds often derived from everyday objects and materials. They were often ridiculed by the British press but when they broke America in 1988, they had the last laugh. They went from the starkness of clean synths, to dark, brooding swirling anthems that resonated with their fans thanks in no small part to the marriage of thoughtful lyrics and deeply human subject matter, always against their mesmerising, unique sound. Dave has oodles of charisma on stage and yet they have never taken themselves seriously despite earning millions of fan. You could say they are the one of the biggest "cult" bands to exist. If you want to have taste of them live, I suggest their Live performance of Never Let Me Down Again but really there are so many others you could try. I'll leave it to others on here to recommend their faves too. kzbin.info/www/bejne/kJeWiqZsgLiXibs

[@cemode7394]

Depeche Mode is one of the most influential bands. With a career still active for 45 years. With 15 studio albums, more than 50 singles, and a large number of hits

[@setonhillstudios]

Can’t wait to hear more from them! This tune is killer! 🔥🔥

[@nancysmith38]

Industrial and his haunting vocals…. ❤

[@jenofthejungle]

One Caress by Depeche Mode.... that violin always gave me chills. This was one of my favorite songs as a kid. I listened to it so much its kinda lost that original magic. Maybe I can live vicariously through you. lol And its Da-pesh-mode

[@phasemalfunction5286]

track was written in 89, and on the 1990 album Violator. This was at the point where they were introducing instruments other than synths, which has something that has progressed over time. Started out a synth pop band in 81, Vince Clark left after first album (see Yazoo and Erasure), and writing was taken over by Martin Gore. Some track to check out: Leave in Silence, Blasphemous Rumours, Everything Counts, Walking in my Shoes, Home, Barrel of a Gun, A Pain That I'm Used to, World in My Eyes, Condemnation, Its No Good, Strangelove

[@johnapplegate1289]

In concert,they use a live drummer. Very deep, very rich catalog.

[@AndiReySim]

The album Violator (which includes Enjoy the silence), is my favorite, and is probably the more well known album of DM’s. If you listen to the entire album you will find very interesting and often unexpected transitions between the songs. So much fantastic and magical music. Their early music tends to be more light, but they tend to produce dark yet beautiful songs with meaningful lyrics. Their bigger hit from their early career is “People are People. “. These guy are so prolific, they have so much music, it is hard to choose a favorite song. Check the pronunciation of the name though, “Deep-Esh Mode”

[@jessicaleblanc-nh1yl]

They also have 'Personal Jesus'...their creations are often incredible. Thank you! =)

[@bringmechoc]

They are fantastic live too. One of my favourites is Personal Jesus but they have so many good songs.

[@setonhillstudios]

I’ll have to check that out! Someone else suggested that too!

[@brandonjones1349]

I agree. Great live!

[@schattenfell4474]

You MUST show them live. They are epic ❤

[@stopbunsen]

You can't really understate the influence DM has had on electronic music. Even artists today are namechecking them as an influence. What's interesting is so many metal bands cover them and are inspired by them

[@IvanDem99]

These guys started late 70s and are still active. Dave Gahan is one of the best front men you'll ever see. They have sooooo many songs over their long career, but one I always recommend is a live version of Never Let Me Down Again. You'll see why we call him the Puppet Master.

[@bhart62]

They were HUGE back in the day. I remember their autograph signing at Tower Records, SO many fans showed up and it totally shutdown the Sunset Strip!

[@Gira21Gramos]

They're still huge! Their last tour sold out arenas and it was soooooo good.

[@ACM-by9lw]

Actually, there is an amazing story, behind Enjoy the Silence. Martin Gore originally, wrote this song as a slow ballad, with a harmonium as instrumental back-up. But Alan Wilder, came up with the idea to put a beat to it. Martin came up with the guitar riff. Then Alan and the producer Flood, took the song to the studio, and that's how you produce a simple, beautiful and durable synth pop song. Enjoy the Silence was released 5 February 1990 Some Depeche mode history they were founed in 1980, by Vince Clark( later Yazoo, Erasure) Martin Gore, Andy Fletcher and Dave Gahan (Lead singer). First single was Dreaming of me, it was released Feb. 1981 Debut album, is Speak and Spell. Okt. 1981. Just can't get enough, is the biggest hit, form this record, and still well known. Vince Clark was the prime songwriter, on this record. He left after the first record. Martin Gore took over songwriting , and in came Alan Wilder, (officially member in 1983, on the album Construction time again). They are a very innovative band. Changing sound an style on every new record. Alan Wilder, sadly left the Band in 1995. He had a huge impact on Depeche mode's style and sound. Thier music, is mainely made with synthezisers, and samplers. Depeche mode's best music period 1981 - 1993. Boy you have a long way to go, if want to go trough thier music. But it is worth it.

[@martinfehringer6408]

I just cannot imagine to have grown up without this iconic masterpiece

[@StephenRoss-pj9ih]

Depeche Mode was part of the soundtrack of my youth back in the 80s, and early 90s. “A question of lust” is one of my favorites!❤️‍🔥❤️‍🔥

[@depeche1972]

Hi Steven😃 This Band is calling „Dipeschhh MOUde“ Thanks for sharhing your Memoryes about your grandfather. I like this🙏 Depeche Mode has a lot (!) of great songs, this one ist clearly the most comercial one… Check out the live version, i think you will like it😉 Thanks for your work & „keep on modeing“ 😉🙏

[@jayrtee]

Even the king, the most powerful of us, searches for the moments of silence to regroup and repair. I know them from their earlier albums. with "People Are People" and "Somebody" being my favorites. But I can get into some "Master and Servant"...

[@bryanCJC2105]

Depeche (De-PESH) Mode was one of the biggest bands of the 80s and 90s. They would sell out stadiums. Their music was one of the defining sounds of the 80s and 90s. Depeche Mode is one of my favorite bands. They started out with a very synth-pop-disco sound (which was awesome) and then after Vince Clarke left the band, became more of a moodier industrial-synth-pop band that sent then into the stratosphere. There are a lot of songs to choose from. I was going to list my favorites but I couldn't keep that list small. I'm sure others here will give you a great range to choose from.

[@tonyr9389]

Great reaction! More DM! Please and thank you. Depeche Mode “Just Can’t Get Enough”

[@evelynne2846]

I think the live performances (of all their songs) are so much better than their videos in that the audience participation is nothing like I've ever seen before. Plus they are still touring with huge audiences and sound and perform the same as in the 80s. Thanks for reacting to this great band. I'd classify it as techno rock.

[@cr16219]

To many, one of, if not the, most iconic songs from the time it came out until now.

[@bobclarke1815]

You need to check out their live peformance in Berlin, Pure magic.

[@adamwaite7218]

Ultimate version live in berlin!!!!!!

[@brandonjones1349]

Absolute Banger! Perfect soundtrack for exactly when I heard these guys the first time. In H.S. I was into punk n metal. A goth chick named Petra played this one night we were hanging out. I fell in love immediately. With the band, and her. Shes no longer with us, but we stayed in touch til the end. Thank you for this one brother. I really mean that. 🤜💥🤛

[@setonhillstudios]

Great tune for sure and can’t wait to check out more! Such a unique sound!! 🔥🔥

[@stevenseul361]

Should of done the Live version it's Amazing and longer. Don't be afraid to look at other reactors. They know the landscape of the land.

[@matthewgoodA1206]

When I saw Depeche Mode live many, many years ago, this was unfortunately the only song I knew. (Ex-girlfriend surprised me with a ticket.) But fortunately, that show kick-started my fandom, and today they’re one of my top groups. Always liked the video, that idea of just seeking silence alone. Also, the premise of the lyrics is very cynical and jaded to me, but at the same time they’re incredibly eloquent. Quite the combo. Lastly, don’t know if one exists, but I think an a cappella version of this song, if done well, would be excellent.

[@ninawildr4207]

Ty ty ty for reacting to DM ❤❤❤

[@themakeityourselfrecipegir6819]

My number one favorite song of all time

[@aaronl4116]

You have just seen the tip of the iceberg. They have dozens of great songs. Stripped (1985), Behind the Wheel (1987), Walking in My Shoes (1993) It's no Good (1997), and their latest album single in 2023 Ghosts Again are all great and unique sounds.

[@pardeeplace4480]

They've had a long and consistent career, kind of the AC/DC of synth pop

[@MixtressPendula]

This song was released in 1990. It was a contemporary of Sinead O'Connors "Nothing Compares 2U". This song revolutionized my 15year old brain.

[@Prone2Thrill]

Violator was a huge success and a great LP but I fell in love with them much earlier when Music for the masses came out

[@JeffTiberend]

Awesome band! You should react to their 2014 Live in Berlin: A Film by Anton Corbijn. This film was from their concerts that were filmed in Berlin in 2013 on November 25 and 27.

Check out I Feel You from their Devotional tour ❤❤❤very rocky

[@larsgutheil5520]

It‘s „De-pesh“ Mode (French!) 😊 A legendary band from England with 100+ million records sold, on one level with groups like Led Zeppelin, U2 or Pink Floyd. They were THE band of 80‘s and early 90‘s British synth and wave pop, broke to global mainstream with albuns like Music for the Masses (1987) and Violator (1990). They have been releasing successful albums ever since. In Germany, they had more Top 20 hits than the Beatles. Last year, they toured globally to over 3 million fans. Introduced to RnR Hall of Fame. Cited as influence by Techno and House DJ‘s as well as alternative stars like Linkin Park and Nine Inch Nails. If you want to dig deeper, „Personal Jesus“ or „Never let me down again“ would be obvious picks. I‘d recommend to try less over-used songs like „Precious“, „Barrel of a gun“ or „It‘s no good“. All great!

[@JohnPaul-hm2ys]

I first heard DM in the background music of the movie Summer Lovers in 1982. Luckily every movie had a soundtrack album back then. I was hooked by Just Can't Get Enough and then song after song. I have seen every tour concert that has hit Philly or New York since, always more than once. People Are People and Behind The Wheel are among my favorites.

[@cemode7394]

Dave Gahan: "And that's why, if you notice, in the video, you'll see that I only sing one line in the whole thing every now and then, repeatedly: "Words are very unnecessary". Because you got all these beautiful scenes, beautiful photography everywhere, and you look at this fantastic photography, so words [are unnecessary], and I'm a king, obviously, I'm supposed to have everything."

[@kev6333]

Great reaction. The album version goes on a bit longer with an interesting bit at the end

I wasn't a big Techno music fan in the 80s, but Depeche Mode were really cool, I loved this song from the first time I ever heard it.

[@joanbecenti8938]

Great song and video. It was a interesting period in which the 1980’s had ended and before grunge had hit. Club music was becoming increasingly popular and alternative/college radio was at it's peak. Great times.

[@ZlatkovDarko]

Check their live performances, for example "Stripped" or "Never Let Me Down Again" - Tour of the Universe Live In Barcelona 2009

[@lotusladylotus6159]

Another great band, and reaction. 💙Btw, it's pronounced 'de-pesh' Mode 😉. They were a big deal on the Montreal club scene too. Other suggestions: Personal Jesus (you'll love it), Policy of Truth, and Strange Love, would be a good sampling to begin with. Where possible, watch concert / live performances, because frontman Dave Gahan was a real presence on stage.

[@szymonczarnecki7366]

I will never ever believe that one goes without hearing Enjoy The Silence in their entire lifetime, especially being in their 40s... Come on dude.

[@setonhillstudios]

🤣 I mean sorry to disappoint you but I haven’t! 🤷🏻‍♂️

[@karaokekraziness3891]

Their name is pronounced duh-pesh mode. One of their most popular songs was People Are People, which is an eternally relevant song. I did a cover of it a few years ago on my KZbin channel.

[@cainealexander-mccord2805]

P.S. They didn't even have a drummer at this point in their career. They had a fourth member, Alan Wilder, and he dabbled a little bit live, but they didn't add a drummer till the "Exciter" album in the early 90ss. When I saw them live, suddenly with another keyboard player (Peter Gordino) and a drummer (Christian Eigner) I was like, "Oh no. They're gonna screw it up!" And guess what? They didn't. It was excellent and thank god they did. They needed a drummer. RIP Fletch

[@TheCarlclark12]

Thank you for listening to Depeche Mode (pronounced D'Pesh like the word mesh with a P Mode). DM is my second favorite band next to KISS. I know that is a huge difference in genres but I love all forms of music. I would like to suggest some songs that you should check out in the future. People Are People, Master And Servant, Just Can't Get Enough, Stripped, Blasphemous Rumors, Fly On The Windscreen, Stripped, Never Let Me Down Again, Strangelove, Route 66, Personal Jesus, World In My Eyes, Policy Of Truth, I Feel You, Walking In My Shoes, Barrel Of A Gun and It's No Good. There is more but that should keep you going for a bit. You are going to get an amazing range of music from them. They are mainly know for their synth pop sound but in the 90's they started adding guitar and drums and it will definitely surprise you. Again, thank you for checking out DM and please keep doing what you're doing. You may not know it but you really do make people's lives a little better with your show and I happen to be one of them.

[@paulocarvalho6480]

Ooh Steven. You have no idea of what you got into. DM is a very deep rabbit hole. Once you get in, there's no way out. You can search as far as you want, but you will not find an exit. Pretty much any song is a hit. Playing live they're even better. Martin Gore (the short blonde guy) is a true genius both composing and lyricist. Dave Gahan isn't flashy as many other singers but he delivers exactly what the song needs. Alan Clark and Fletcher complement Martin's work with the keyboard. They are a fantastic band. Unfortunately, Alan left to pursue other projects and Fletcher passed away a few years ago, but they keep going on. "Everything Counts" live is a must like all of their songs. Great reaction and for your information, this video was shot in several different countries including Portugal, France and Italy.

This was one of their best selling titles. Not my favorite of them though. They've got a lot of stuff to discover. I recommend »Never let me down again«, »World in my eyes«, »I feel you«, »Stripped« and »People are People«. Because this band put so much attention to sound design you should listen to the studio versions first.

[@cainealexander-mccord2805]

Hey bud! And you hit my non-Queen favourite-and please, De-Pesh-Mode. Like Queen, there's almost too much to say about this band. I got into them 30 years ago after Freddie died-I used to clown them back in my early headbanger days, then I sat down and listened. And more importantly, watched. Their live stuff is amazing. Martin Gore, the guitar player, writes the majority of their stuff, but Dave Gahan, the singer, has started writing for the last few albums and that, too, is excellent. When this came out, you couldn't get away from it. (This album actually saved Gary Numan from retiring. His wife brought this album home and he found out that keyboard players can go dark, and the rest is, as they say, history. If you ever want to go down to the dungeon, just say the word.) As for the video, don't read too much into it. They love this guy, Anton Corbijn, and his videos are a mess, but I'm not paying the guy, so.... You'll get lots of suggestions for further DM and they'll all be great, and I'll be here for every one. Love your channel!

[@MarjorieStoker-oj8fh]

Look at an American group called Sparks late 1970s you've got to beat the clock you will love them

[@jimmywilmore1881]

They actually date back to the early 80s with “Speak and Spell” and “Just cant get enough” in 1981. Not until the late 80s did their music mainstream. They very quickly found a following the clubs and dance bars. Being gay I can say they were well received by the gay community and the extended play versions of DM songs with the synth sound gave the DJs the freedom to blend the music giving the effect of one continuous song. Hours of dancing back in the late 80 early 90s. Must hear “Personal Jesus” ‘89, “Just can’t get enough” ‘81 and “Policy of Truth” ‘90. I would say your next reaction should JUST CAN’T GET ENOUGH. Cheers!
