Martin Gore on How Depeche Mode Mourned Andy Fletcher on 'Memento Mori'

[@tooniemama6959]

Martin is such a beautiful man, inside and out. I'm sure he gets mentally exhausted from having to answer the same questions, repeatedly and with enthusiasm. I simply adore Martin and Dave, and it's difficult to grasp the reality of Fletch's passing. It was unexpected and such a shock to the fans around the world and I can only imagine how painfully difficult it is for them to do this tour without Andy. Such beautiful and humble Men. Andy was asked a few years ago, what is the secret to Depeche Mode's success and he said, good song writing. I agree, but also their brotherhood and love and respect for one another. DM 4 Ever. ❤️

[@rubaidaallen2764]

Absolutely. I saw them last night live and it was obvious Dave and Martin are relying on each other for support. Andy dying was very shocking and his absence was felt by the whole arena last night. I hope that when the time comes for DM to call it a day, not anytime soon of course 😂, Alan Wilder can come back for another album. He was and still is a part of this brotherhood too, even though he’s been out of the band for almost 30 years. DM forever indeed 👏👏👏❤️❤️❤️

[@jt.8144]

Without a doubt. Martin and David's resilience emotionally and mentally is something worth mentioning. God Bless these guys for keeping the faith and moving on. Though reminded with every interview they encounter. Furthermore, still have the drive to entertain the masses. Simply pay attention to everything Martin Gore says.

[@svens2715]

Andy is the king.

@tooniemama6959 Eloquently stated.

He's a millionaire he is use to answering questions they don't bother him

[@jmo4579]

Saw them last night in NYC. Martin is such an underrated guitarist. The moods he creates are brilliant.

[@rubaidaallen2764]

So true! Last nights show was brilliant. Not an empty seat in MSG and everyone was on their feet. Beautiful show. Sister of night and stripped were the highlights for me. Excellent 👏👏👏👏👏

Underrated? . Bottomline, Underrated just means YOU JUST DISCOVERED THEM RECENTLY.. and it's just your way of overcompensating for Not being born in the right time much more your current age in discovering these guys. INTERNET BRED IDIOT. LOL

[@jacobkirkpatrick-hq4ii]

Lets all take a moment to appreciate Martin Gore. Without him, there wouldn't be Depeche Mode. A beautiful soul and even a deeper musical artist. Glad to see him and Dave continuing on after Fletch's passing...

[@rubaidaallen2764]

Adorable Martin. Met him, Dave and the late Andy Fletcher a few years ago. Lovely, lovely gents. Super sweet and so nice. Such a difficult time for the remaining members and fans alike but I’m sure Andy would’ve approved of the guys continuing. Lots of ❤❤ to Dave and Martin!

[@giannighilardi6396]

One of the best ever songwriter in music history. Spent so much time with him in the 80s while setting the first DM info svc in Italy...

[@libbyhardel1826]

The sentence "After Andy died" still doesn't seem real to me.

[@rubaidaallen2764]

It’s a shock to hear them speak about Andy in the past tense. During World… last night at the show I attended, it was so 💔 seeing his face flashed on the screen.

[@ericdavidwallace]

I just saw DM play for the for the first time pin my life last night in Seattle WA and it was the best show I’ve ever seen. Martins guitar playing blew my mind.

[@mauradiblasio9119]

Mr. Martin L. mastermind Gore!!! 🖤 Brilliant 🫶🏼✨

[@oh_k8]

I absolutely love Martin's voice. It's so complimentary with Dave's voice too.

[@germandimplez]

Poor Martin. You can see in his eyes that the death of Fletch has hit him so hard. That interview was so vanilla. I could have answered those questions 🙄

[@jaklumen]

But he took that contract. Fletch has a right to be angry

[@allancerf9038]

Yep, agreed.

[@karolspeight1968]

Great interview. So much better for the great interviewer who is clearly a fan and asked great apt questions. Martin Gore is superb. Seen them in Dublin last night and they were phenomenal

Where is Alan Wilder? DM is not the same without him.

[@joedecker3900]

Get over it…

[@deanosaur808]

Obviously this person has been in a coma for the last 30 years 😅😂😂 Alan took a break.. had a KitKat 😝

[@rotorican85]

youreright.....its not the same. it has evolved and grown. the sound after his decision to leave went thru growing pains and now we have great albums like spirit and memento mori. Memento Mori will go down as one of their best, right up there with Music for the Masses, Violator, Songs of Faith and Devotion and of course, Black Celebration. This album is a true resurgence of the DM sound and feel that we all love.

[@sinusguy]

I hear “Bizarre Love Triangle” in that riff. Hooky’s bass.

[@dr.brianjudedelimaphd743]

I agree

[@christiankatsis2897]

I love Martin's songs, etc...But come on - Alan left - Tim Simenon burnt himself out doing Ultra. Decent album - then Exciter, Playing the Angel, etc....the other ones - not the best stuff -

[@artadamian3500]

Amazing band and human beings❤performance in Los Angeles last night was truly stunning. I grew up with their songs and brought back fantastic memories. Their new album is a masterpiece. I’m very sad regarding Mr. Fletcher’s passing but on a positive note very happy that they’re together going forward strong. Love you guys forever and so grateful…….

[@201950201950]

I sang " Ghosts again" as soon as it was released on Karafun. A few times now young people have come up to me and asked about the song. Now that I'm older I'm reminded that my end is closer than ever.

[@FireMunki63]

Shockingly low volume, glued to the notes, not great. Get the basics right instead of a flash out of the box logo splashscreen!

‘Died suddenly’…

[@dimitristertipis3155]

That’s a conspiracy. Wink wink

[@animallover6307]

I was thinking the same

[@ReformedWhiteKnight]

@@animallover6307 happens a lot to musicians these days it seems. I always quickly do an internet search, but not on Google any more, as they clearly suppress the search of names in conjunction of the word 'vaccinated' after a death immediately. But I always find the relevant information on other search engines, if I am fast enough. And in almost every case... I find that most ot them were overly excited to have the full course or/ and heavily promoted it or put pressure on others to take the 'product'. There also seems to be a weird code of silence for them to not discuss the possible implications the product might have had on peoples's health. Like it is part of their deal to agree to the official narrative. All of the so called alternative rockstars of the past are pretty much cowards in actually saying anything that opposes official political narrative these days. That actually includes in America both sides of the spectrum, the blue and the red. They are part of the system now and we need new alternative musicians who don't just follow on what and how we have to think. One of the worst offenders was/is a very successful german musician called Herbert Groenemeyer (friends with Bono btw) who screemed exactly like Hitler at his audience of many thousands about how they all must obey and take the product and have the right (left) political opinion, or they are otherwise unwanted deplorables! A very sick and angry old man who would have been elite N@zi at the time....because the n@zi mentality has little to do with politics, but with compliance and enforcement! And he is all for it!
