Martin Gore.Best songwriter in the world! Thank you Martin for all those great music...

[@yelenanekrassova7358]

Beautiful Martin... Thank You so much... You are amazing...!

[@PG-yi9iz]

Absolutely fantastic people, the entire band

[@R---66---R]

Yes, must admit that they are real professionals, indeed.

[@r4mmstein]

He's so cute 🥺

[@221b-Maker-Street]

Martin Gore is simply charming... Such a lovely manner, when he must get fed up with answering the same questions again and again. Looking forward to seeing them at the London Stadium in June. [I still love his old teeth, though... 😁😬]

[@221b-Maker-Street]

The New Teeth seem to have changed the shape of the lower part of his face. He kind of holds his mouth differently. Still small matter. Thrilled they're still a] creating music and b] touring. 🎹🎸🎹

[@CharlotteSuckling89]

Agreed, changed his face shape, loved his natural, youthful ones. I'm a sucker for English teeth, probably because I'm English and have teeth that are crooked to buggery, so felt some kinship with old Mart. He betrayed our ancestral lands with his Hollywood smile! Ha, David Bowie too...

[@zaltreyyy378]

3rd of June? If so, we're going to the same concert- I can't wait!

[@221b-Maker-Street]

Haha, yes! I'll wave with giant inflatable hands in your general direction... I had to buy an eye-wateringly expensive ticket to guarantee not being effectively seated in Basildon. *sigh* Can't stand long due to recent op, otherwise I'd have been in the mosh pit ;o)

[@Artista928]

Love his smile. Such a great guy and fantastic song writer.

[@KarlHainer]

"If you like honest progressive pop music and you want what is best for humanity (not just yourself) then Depeche Mode are the bees knees."

[@M.sa.610]

Martin scheint von edlem Charakter zu sein ..❤..er wirkt auf mich äußerst angenehm

[@chhavysisowath968]

He was so cute back than and yes, I missed his old teeth. Lol

[@Donutgames00]

Where you from?

[@annagrace8137]

I miss his old teeth too! Was just thinking that lol.

[@thebeardedseeker5633]

i also thought the same thing as what he says at 1:32 about not seeing this going on for four years. but here we are almost four years later and things are getting worse by the day. people are complaining but nobody's really doing anything. sometimes i feel like i'm in an alternative dystopian timeline.

[@bluesky4385]

Yes I feel like I have died an gone to Hell. Here it is 2 years later from your reply and things are even worse. Its a complete nightmare. Every damn day there is some major problem in the USA, or people are killed by Assault weapons in schools, Malls, parades, stores. Yes a complete nightmare. Makes one wonder what is the real reason a country is allowed to go this path of self destruction. What things were done wrong to end up like this, and when did it start to happen. The actual root of the problems need to be addressed, or we are all going to be dead if things don't change fast.

[@marioncrbt7739]

Truely love this man..

Best Album from DM.

Martin gore would have fit into the schutz staffel perfectly.

[@R---66---R]

Good guys 'like' Martin only fit in with the red cross!

[@lolam.9291]

So, Martin, do you like what’s going on politically in the USA in 2022?

[@sardonicus76]

From Policy of Truth to Ministry of Truth in about eighteen months. So much for a “return to normalcy”.

[@erieneoliveira4931]

Amo vocês✌❤

[@vivianesilveirapaiva5800]

Adoro!

[@GuiR3X]

I hope that Anton will come up with stuff closer to devotional, darker, with more grain, more meaning, than the ridiculous bubbles falling on Policy of truth, DM needs a strong visual to soar live.

[@221b-Maker-Street]

GuiR3X There's a Vimeo teaser just been released a few minutes ago...

[@deeppurplefan9648]

What the heck are you talking about? Policy of truth is a great song. It has alot meaning about trust issues and betrayal.

[@GuiR3X]

@@deeppurplefan9648 it IS a great song, and I think deserves a better visual than bubbles dropping.

[@deeppurplefan9648]

@@GuiR3XThen i have misunderstood your comment Are you talking about the music video?

[@GuiR3X]

​@@deeppurplefan9648 No, the live visuals behind the stage.

[@musicmad1]

UK politics has been dire for last 5 1/2 years. I wish people hadnt been ignored whats been happening here. Fascism across the globe has been bubbling for that length of time not just since Trump got in.

[@ednitatrejo]

I hope he never moves back to England. I like knowing he's only a few hours away from me loool

I can’t see his replacement going on for four years either

[@manuelag.h.7471]

@@richlisola1 Please ????? 🤣

[@alexsmith5606]

Why does Martin live in US? it seems very odd. i've expected him to be in UK or some European country

[@221b-Maker-Street]

He did for many years... Lived in Hertfordshire, just North of London. He's now married an American, and has a small baby, so I can't see him moving back here for a long time, if ever... He loves Germany, though, so I suppose that's a possible...

[@TlanImass]

I read in an interview once that he loves Santa Barbara and that's where he settled. Although, I don't think it's relevant, he is half American.

[@alexsmith5606]

he just doesn't seem like somebody who lives in US, as he is very European. that's why it's surprising

[@221b-Maker-Street]

Yes, it's not what I would have expected either, but there you go... having kids changes things for most people...

[@chrisc3697]

He needs to shut up about his political thoughts on our country,,,snaggletooth douche

[@a.koepke3523]

I appreciate Martin Gore very much, but I would still like to know what he thinks of a Sleepy Joe Biden, whether he finds the situation as ridiculous as under Donald Trump???🤔 I personally find the situation under Sleepy Joe Biden extremely worrying, whether a Martin Gore sees it the same way is highly unlikely, too bad.☝😒

[@TheBoltondj44]

You should work again with Alan too!!!

[@Jasminekittykat808]

Seems like a nice guy but like most celebrities he is completely out of touch with the working class. Given his privileged life that's to be expected I suppose but it's so striking I had to mention it. They really are in another world totally oblivious .

[@nocturnalflare8457]

They come from a working class background. Dave did a lot of construction. Their album Construction Time had a lot of those elements too

[@tangomantactical]

If you didn't like the president find a better country. No one is keeping you from staying. By the way I am a DM fan. Still listen to them.

[@jocelynfromoz4953]

So I'm thinking Martin is not a Trump supporter??? Always knew he was highly intelligent 😆Lol. Lovely man, he always gives such great interviews.

[@jocelynfromoz4953]

Bahahahahahahaha 😂

[@jocelynfromoz4953]

Joe April Actually yes I love Obama it's a pity he couldn't have served as President longer. Trump is a madman and is going to send us all into WWIII. But hey that's just my opinion and people our allowed to have those in the modern world.

[@77Tom77Tom77]

Jason, i am very happy that you understand what Depeche Mode (including Gore and all other band mates) stands for now. Yes, Depeche Mode hate Trump, and they don't like the hate against other people which the defining band between all "Republicans" (what a strange name for this way of fascist thinking). And yes, Depeche mode don't like the hate against muslims. They don't like the militarism of the USA. They don't like war. They don't like you. It is a very good idea for you never hear Depeche Mode again. Don't even think about it. Your Future is Trump and all the lovely music this man is able to. (LOL)

[@221b-Maker-Street]

Well you're a charming piece of work, aren't you? Keep it civil, please; no need for that kind of immature ranting.

[@jocelynfromoz4953]

Jason M So when Trump declares war against North Korea I assume you'll be front and centre on the battlefield? I actually live in Australia so I'm very fortunate not to have to live under Trumps bullshit government but that's not to say that I'm not concerned about his actions because if his finger hits the button that launches a nuclear bomb it will affect the entire world. Trump is power hungry and being President is just another notch in his belt of stuff that he can buy his way into. As for Depeche Mode I don't think they'll loose too much sleep without your support of their music in fact I think if they read your disgusting rant and foul language on this post they'd gladly refund you your $20000 you have supposedly spent on them in the last 30 years.

[@richlisola1]

He is bi-racial. Though honestly, his biological father must be barely black. I can’t for the life of me see it in him.

[@jehugo66]

This IS the Revolution! Lol

[@OldSkoolF]

Please, Keep politics out of it...

[@Scorpio_Moonshine]

Disagree. This isn't the first time DM has written music about politics.

[@WengStansWorld]

THANK YOU !

[@a.koepke3523]

Ich schätze Martin Gore sehr, würde aber trozdem gerne mal wissen, was er so von einem Sleepy Joe Biden hält, ob er die Situation auch so lächerlich findet wie unter Donald Trump???🤔 Ich persönlich finde die Situation unter Sleepy Joe Biden extrem besorgniserregend, ob ein Martin Gore dies genauso sieht ist höchst unwahrscheinlich, leider☝😒

[@ien2023]

Is Martin bi?

[@logiclust]

you don't live in america, you live in California. things are much better there #calexit

[@abbyboyone]

Love California, the best.

[@damian2779]

Such a shame he involved leftist politics in his songs on Spirit. Nonetheless I like the album. I love Depeche Mode but... sorry Martin You know little about politics and being inspired by "popping news on the phone written by mainstream trash media constantly attacking Trump" is ashaming.. ; /

[@mariaelenakunstmann2713]

Man..we are all into pragmatism..material world its been for ages. Nothing really new.

[@richlisola1]

Not liking Trump, or making an offhand comment about Trump, hardly makes him a leftist activist. (Also he won’t read your comment, why did you address it to him)?

[@markchristopher2signal2]

Martin got sucked into news, I mean fake news on his phone. Sad

[@WengStansWorld]

Dear Martin Gore. I have been a big fan for a quite a while. the " Oh God, what has ( HE ) done now ? " I know what you are saying, but you gotta understand, YOU chose to live here. nobody is forcing you to stay here. Like Gary Numan, he ASKED to live in America, then he slags off the President. I have been to 10 different countries and I ALWAYS respect those countries...whether I agree with the leaders and the people...it doesn't matter...I RESPECT them. Martin should do the same.

[@DxModel219]

lol no he doesn’t have to respect anyone in Politics they are all puppets anyways

[@CasseNoisette19]

Cmon Mart! Trump did it not so badly in comparison to the other//s 😂
