60 years old, no time to go. I can't believe I'm at that age where all my idols are dying. R.I.P. to a legend of electronic music.
I quite like the post Alan albums, but I think that’s down to me only getting into them in 2006, but still I saw several tours and the band meant a lot to me.I've been wishing they'd just stop and leave their legacy as it is, all those amazing albums. But I wouldn't have wished it to be like this.
I think the only way they could do it is if either Vince or Alan agrees to it. It wouldn’t work as a duo would it? but I’d hope we can see them one more time at least.First gig was World Violation tour in Birmingham, and I’ve been to pretty much every tour since so it seems a bit churlish wishing for one more chance to see them, even if it’ll inevitably feel different.
Nope this was completely unexpected, bar the vinyl reissues and Dave’s solo album, things have been very quiet in Depeche Mode camp.Not sure if people following the band closer than me were more prepared for this, but Andy's death came out of nowhere to me, and I am left speechless. Rest in peace, Andy, and as most of you I am spending some time listening to Depeche Mode's works (Shake The Disease is more and more shaping up to be my most listened to track over they years).
I thought the same. And I know it’s not a given that you would hear anything but with the relationship Depeche seem to have with the fan base if it was expected then I’d think some news would have come out earlier.Nope this was completely unexpected, bar the vinyl reissues and Dave’s solo album, things have been very quiet in Depeche Mode camp.
Listening to Some Great Reward last night and Blasphemous Rumours hit me more than it ever has.
I can confirm it was. They were supported by Electribe 101 (amazing) and all the songs had that violator polish . Plus they played the Behind the Wheel/Route 66 mashup. Oh how I was pleasedI think Violator would have been an amazing era to witness live.
