Nitzer Ebb & Alan Wilder At Konk Studios 1991

Nitzer Ebb & Alan Wilder are interviewed by Dave Kendall at Konk Studios during the making of the EBBHEAD album. Apparently the lads didn't have the best time dealing with Ray Davies.
Nitzer Ebb is playing The Paradise in Boston this Thursday (12.03.09). Provocateur is opening, and legendary DJ Chris Ewen will be spinning before, between, and after both bands.
Tickets $20: www.livenation....

[@KJ-ez6bm]

Agréer..since he left Depeche mode the band has never been the sane😮

[@City2x]

Man I miss 120 and Dave! It was a different world back then.

Nitzer Ebb didn´t have the luck Nine Inch Nails did. Also, early 90´s I am working in a hostel in Prague and two blokes from Glasgow check in. One in DM t-shirt, the other one had a Nitzer Ebb t-shirt. I told i was a big fan of the two bands and they told me they were like the only two fans of this music in a 500 students school. The market for electronic music has always been Germany. They just love it there. I like the early Nitzer but they tried something new with Ebbhead. Flood and Alan Wilder can´t produce a bad album. Also, Dave Gahan and Martin Gore used to wear Nitzer Ebb t-shirts. Anyway, one of the guys from Glasgow gave me a DM t-shirt with a blue rose, coz we got along so well that I invited them to stay with my family. Can you imagine how cool I felt having a Depeche Mode t-shirt in the summer 1990, only 7 months after communism fell

NIN is totally different than Nitzer.... Nitzer didnt sell out like NIN did. Plus NIN ripped off Ministry for their first album. You comments here are scattered and have no flow to them at all, just a lot of rambling nonsense.

[@Vision33r]

That's because NItzer Ebb wasn't serious enough with their whole package. When they first came out, they could've made more songs including some mainstream stuff to get more less hardcore fans. NIN was more like DM than Nitzer was, that's why they had a bigger following. Some people just don't like the heavy EBM stuff that much. They tend to like the dark melody that NIN and DM has.

[@Vision33r]

@@miked3168 Had Nitzer made NIN music, they wouldn't be any good. You can tell Reznor keeps the music toned just enough to be different than rock but not hard enough to be Front242 or Ministry.

[@Reprodestruxion]

NIN ? Try being Frank Tovey

[@Reprodestruxion]

And EBM sucks

[@Sensual_kumquat]

Oh man does this take me back. 120 minutes was the only show that had my music and it was on at like 2am on a sunday. Life before streaming. I would try my hardest to stay a2ake to watch the show and usually failing.

[@breath888]

Me toooooooooooooooooooooooooooo

[@Vision33r]

When Alan Wilder left Depeche Mode you can tell they've lost a lot of their electronic synth from their music since then. I know they started having creative differences after the Violator album that Dave Gahan and Martin Gore started writing more soulful music than electronic music.

Fire! Fire! Fire!

For a moment, I thought Bon had a full head of hair styled in a quiff in this interview.

[@sandracole5265]

How come this video starts off with Personal Jesus by DM? This is a video about Nitzer Ebb play their song.

[@ultramimo]

Excellent!

[@yourvillain1736]

I want to know what old rockers they were complaining about!

[@skatepark1ful]

Oops!! I thought NITZER Ebb was a German band. They jam REGARDLESS!!!

[@powertompa]

what song is that drum track from at 2:27?

[@miked3168]

Go listen to Ebbhead and figure it out

[@felsumina]

Ascend

[@jzen1455]

so is it pronounced Nigh-tzer or Nee-tzer? I’ve heard even different members of the band pronounce it either way. It seems British people are likely to pronounce it Nigh-tzer while everyone says Nee-tzer.

[@DarthMacchio]

This interviewer is such a bore. I'd be a lot more excited than he is if I got to interview these guys!

[@miked3168]

Not many people liked Dave back in the day.... he was kind of a putz that no one seemed to respect or like.
