Personal Jesus

then and now, Dave has always got his moves

I feel you - Where’s the revolution ?

“This is what Depeche Mode were about in the early days - the bondage. But we’re not like that anymore we’re family people.” - Fletch

“That was the laugh right there did you hear!!” - Dave on Martin’s laugh.

“We always gave Alan the role in doing things we were too embarrassed to do” - Fletch

“I tried to win a place, but I didn’t get picked” - Fletch on the competition for the Bus Kids.

“For the fans we’ve always meant so much it’s not like other bands, it’s like some really weird cult phenomenon thing, there are Depeche Mode parties arranged all over the world where they just seem to play the music all night long, and I don’t know any other band that that happens for, so there is some real connection between the band and the fans and vice versa.” - Martin on their fans.

“There’s Martin with his usual attire, nice pair of chains.” - Fletch

“Dave’s very good with a mic stand […] He did hit me with a mic stand on the last tour funnily enough and my whole keyboards collapsed.” - Fletch

“I paid her to do that.” - Fletch on the fainting girl.

“You gotta play this, and he played it in a second without even thinking about it, but you gotta sing this at the same time and he did that in a second!” - Fletch on Alan’s audition.

“What was I thinking with that hat?” - Martin

“Dave’s looking emotional there but actually he’s just glad he’s having a breather” - Fletch

“THIS IS FREAKING ME OUT PROPERLY” - Dave on the screaming Blasphemous Rumours girl.

“There’s old Spiersy!!” - Dave on Jane Spiers, lighting technician.

“Shaking my ass…I never even realised how much I did that, still do…I love doing that.” - Dave

“We’re not Satanists.”
