the worst thing that happened to depeche mode was alan's departure and in my opinion martin destroyed the claw that the band with alan had and that everyone worked hard for together
agreed, only exception being "ultra", which still sounds liek an album they could have done together (maybe they started when he was still in) after thtat just a mess of noises
In 2011 Alan mixed "In Chains" and turned the band from "Demo Mode" to Depeche Mode again. Thank you Mr. Wilder for so many years of hapiness. You were a key part in dM´s best years
DM Mode’s most creative period was due to Martin Gore’s songwriting, Dave Gahan’s vocals, and from 1982-1995 with Alan Wilder’s skills as a musician, arranger and producer. Alan deserves credit for all his contributions during period, but without Gore and Gahan no one would know who Alan was.
yes, we know... Recoil - not a big fan. I love(d) Alan, I'd still love to see him back in the band. However, I know that DM could not exist without Martin's music and Dave's frontman act, while it DID/DOES live without Alan and, now, Fletch.
Oh my gosh such a nice guy. Watching interviews with Alan he is only really animated when talking about or playing music. A true musician...one who it seems was unappreciated by the rest of the band. How could they have let him go? SMFH.
Anyone who tells you that about DM might not quite “get it”. It’s ok to relive and hope as long we’re all still here…I miss this music, too. And you’re right: we were lucky😊
When I see Alan, I measure how much he missed to dM. Though the band has kept on doing some good albums, I deeply think its soul and style disappeared after SOFAD. As a keyboard player and drummer, his contribution to the sound of dM would have been incredible. A French listener since 87 ;-)
What Alan did with I Want You Now is yet another example of how much of an influence he had on all of their best music. Him leaving was like taking all the bacon out of a cheeseburger. The Devotional Tour version of Everything Counts is still the hardest track in that whole set 🔥🔥
You do know they got the industrial side from a previous einsturzende neubauten session that had the sounds still loaded , the neubauten sounds were all over some great reward .
Still to this day I totally miss Alan in DM. Because he was classically trained he bought more to the 'Mode, in particular BC. MFTM, V and SOFAD. We miss you Alan. PS. And I have all his Recoil stuff. An absolute fkn genius.
This is heartbreaking to watch. WIlder, cut out of DM and they languish without his technical wizzardry. The clip at 7.40 explaining his trip hop version of 'I want you now' using a pitched-down riff from 'Walking in my shoes' - fans can now witness the problem with Depeche since he left in 1994.
Алан простой и порядочный человек и очень красивый мужчина и остался таковым. Он ушел из группы для того что бы быть просто счастливым, это его право. И не надо ждать от него шедевров, он сам ходячий Шедевр. Счастливчик и красавчик Алан на века!!!
As we can see he's the real master of all the unforgettable sounds which help a lot to make this music so special and which we love to hear in these first 10+ years of Depeche Mode to this day.
It is priceless to see you Alan playing the emulator. I come to this video over and over with the time to enjoy seeing you remembering your riffs... "If you want", by the way, the best of your songs, and the best of DM too. Thanks for your work at DM Alan. Since you lest nothing was the same.
When I was a teenager I used to go to the music store and try the Emax over and over again to play DM songs. This is the best video I've seen in CZcams, period. Thank you !!!
+Cristina his other project he was working on, Recoil, he went with his instinct going to recoil. they were both coming up at the same time, he had to make a choice he couldn't be in 2 bands at the same time. Hope that answers your question.
He didn't think he was appreciated after all the work he did for the devotional tour and felt he wasn't getting any deserved recognition working in the studio producing and playing as a member of the band. Recoil didn't really have any bearing on his decision to leave DM.
If you watch the making of the album from 1985, the boys are all in the studio, then suddenly Martin and Dave decide to go on holiday, leaving Alan to finish the rest of the album on his own. Plus Fletch and him got into physical fights backstage, according to Dave. It's no wonder he left, really.
I'll never forgive Gore's snubbing of Wilder after Wilder delivered to Depeche Mode their only #1 hit. I consider Wilder to be one of the pillars of the band. Without him, DM has just been kind of flailing after.
It’s so cool to see that I’m not the only one who doesn’t know in what key I wrote a certain song 😂I tend to know covers a hell of a lot better than my own stuff. This man was the hard of the sound of DM!
I love him (Alan, the gorgeous and talented musician), but I couldn't kneel on a wooden floor like that, or any surface, my knees are rickety and I am 10 years younger than him!! He must be healthy to be able to do that!! (And what on earth is Martin Gore wearing in that clip?). Please come back to the music industry, Alan.
I was one of the last concerts with you in Berlin on June 16, 1993. Great performance and the end of DM withoiut you. You are The best. Regards. Your In Chains mix is the best.And swomebody in london.Beautiful.
Mister Depeche Mode is for me Alan, the distintive Sound was the best ,love it . That Time was without a doubt the best DM Time. Without Alan the Bands Music changed, was never ever so good in my Opinion. Depeche Mode Music was still good and successful but for me personally they lost their musically Identity, DNA and Style complete with Alans Lost
I am not worthy but what I wouldn’t give to hang out with Alan and learn! And I’m not gonna lie, I would love to have THAT Emax II with all those sounds!!
Heavens... I feel them! Danke Alan. Thanks Alan, you have delivered more than your best for your final work for dM, especially with IYR, including the video for the single, I also think that Anton has slowly "goodbye", too... with his own, personal, masterpiece!!
Как здорово, что есть возможность увидеть и услышать такие видео, прикоснуться к истории, в детстве можно было только мечтать о таком видео! Спасибо огромное за видео!
Ten gość to jest Depeche Mode. On tym żyje. Bez niego to nie ten zespół. Jak długo Gahan tego nie zrozumie bo Martin już od dawna o tym wie. Bez Alan nie ma przebojów i muzyki w radio
I know I’m only one of millions of fans but this man is a genius…..and Depeche are not at all the same without him. Sad but so true
the worst thing that happened to depeche mode was alan's departure and in my opinion martin destroyed the claw that the band with alan had and that everyone worked hard for together

Alan - the "missing piece" of dm
Alan Wilder, the sound of Depeche Mode during 13 years ! As a fan of DM, I miss him a lot !
Don't we all 😂
Me too bro 😢 Depeche mode its not the same without him
His dark atmosphere and sounds are greatly missed
He was the sound of Depeche Mode
In 2011 Alan mixed "In Chains" and turned the band from "Demo Mode" to Depeche Mode again. Thank you Mr. Wilder for so many years of hapiness. You were a key part in dM´s best years
100%👍
That remix is the best produced thing they’ve released since Alan’s departure and truly elevated that song.
@@iamcarlosfiveApart from the fact it was a million times better than the original
Love that alternate name! So true, man! And thanks for giving me a grin today! 😊
Sorry, that mix was not his best work, actually a bit of a mess
I'm not crying, i just have Alan Wilder in my eyes
Alan was the coolest member of the band brilliant with synths
Yes.
Second coolest. Dave Gahan is a Rock God.
Taking for granted by the others and no wonder he left. Their loss
@@craigthornton1971 Our loss.
@@bruinman1012 3rd coolest, after Martin and Dave
Alan Wilder is a brilliant musician.
I swear to god, after all these years, he’s still got it!
This is the equivalent of synth pop’s “Jimi Hendrix” breaking down his guitar parts and gear. Love it
true
The musical genius behind DM's hit songs.
Probably DM would have been even greater if Alan Wilder had remained in the band.
After Alan left, it was a downward slope, Martin is not suitable for mixing, his arrangements are a mixture of boring and cacophonous sounds.
I got goosebumps at Black Celebration
Quite literally the sounds of my youth, at his fingertips. Phenomenal...♥️🌹♥️
DM Mode’s most creative period was due to Martin Gore’s songwriting, Dave Gahan’s vocals, and from 1982-1995 with Alan Wilder’s skills as a musician, arranger and producer.

Regardless, they once had something, they had their prime which has been gone for decades.
Finally someone's who's being very realistic about Wilder's role in the band and not treating him like some sort of demigod. Respect to you, sir.
Oh my gosh such a nice guy. Watching interviews with Alan he is only really animated when talking about or playing music. A true musician...one who it seems was unappreciated by the rest of the band. How could they have let him go? SMFH.
Alan was the backbone of depeche mode
Or maybe Vince clarke
Noo!.. Alan fue el sonido de DM en sus mejores tiempos ❤🖤 el mejor
What a talent….and pretty easy on the eyes.
still miss you Alan
((::))
I can imagine sitting on Alan’s couch during this and being in tears.
デペッシュ・モードの硬質で美しいサウンドのアレンジは彼なしでは成し遂げられなかったと確信しています。
アランは素晴らしいアーティストです。
Sometimes I keep hearing...'don't live in the past'....it's hard...I miss this music...I was lucky I guess to live in that era...
Anyone who tells you that about DM might not quite “get it”. It’s ok to relive and hope as long we’re all still here…I miss this music, too. And you’re right: we were lucky😊

I am supportive of Alan and his decision.
Self respect is priority #1!!!
What about stopping short of full potential?
@@wscottwalters74 no can do when surrounded by jerks
I would love so much a tour with Alan on the keyboards, and no drummer, just the synths, and Martin's Guitar riffs.
What Alan did with I Want You Now is yet another example of how much of an influence he had on all of their best music. Him leaving was like taking all the bacon out of a cheeseburger. The Devotional Tour version of Everything Counts is still the hardest track in that whole set 🔥🔥
Omg the black celebration bit made me cry!
The actual architectI of the industrial sound of Depeche in the early álbums of the band; mágic and powerful; GREAT!
You do know they got the industrial side from a previous einsturzende neubauten session that had the sounds still loaded , the neubauten sounds were all over some great reward .
I could watch this over and over again. Such a great musician and lovely person.
The man who turned guitar twaddles into synth masterpieces.
Still to this day I totally miss Alan in DM. Because he was classically trained he bought more to the 'Mode, in particular BC. MFTM, V and SOFAD. We miss you Alan. PS. And I have all his Recoil stuff. An absolute fkn genius.

Alan's remix of In Chains is wonderful and magic! I think this is real Depeche Mode sound!
Alan and Andy were frankly the heart of Depeche Mode, RIP Andy :(
That's an… interesting take!
Dear Alan, YOU and Depeche Mode are amazing! It was sad, that you leave the band. Thank you for the music!
That bit from 101, when he did the demo, was hands down my favorite part of the entire movie!
this honestly made me so sad :(
Алан простой и порядочный человек и очень красивый мужчина и остался таковым. Он ушел из группы для того что бы быть просто счастливым, это его право. И не надо ждать от него шедевров, он сам ходячий Шедевр. Счастливчик и красавчик Алан на века!!!

You still got it Alan. ..time to play with DM again
He is awesome and so talented!!!
Without any doubt, having Alan back again with Dave and Martin would be the best think they could do
Yes!😊
They said no
@@macewbee DM said no to a return of Alan?!
@@claudiom4770 yea David during an interview kind of said it kind letter it go kind of annoyed with that question.
Seems to me they’re doing just fine as a duo.
The sound of that old hard drive... I hope they did a back up of the samples stored on it.
Thank you for the music been a big fan since the 80s...❤️ from the Philippines 🇵🇭
Same here. Nung iniwan niya ang banda hindi na the same ang Depeche. He's vital to the band's sound.
Alan is a 100% musician and brain DM
Such an brilliant person. Thanks for sharing this Alan.
Wow, this brilliant from Alan, so interesting to hear those sounds on the keyboard, love it.
He should go back to DM I think👍🏻
Oh, Uncle Alan, history will never forget you. You have created the greatest
It is priceless to see you Alan playing the emulator. I come to this video over and over with the time to enjoy seeing you remembering your riffs... "If you want", by the way, the best of your songs, and the best of DM too. Thanks for your work at DM Alan. Since you lest nothing was the same.
Everybody always talking of AW coming back to DM. No way! They should be crawling in the dust, begging for a chance to come to him!
genius of synth
Alan the rythym and soul of DM
I loved when you played drums ! ;-) cool, thank Alan
Alan, we miss you so much, you are so special, you are awesome. We love you Alan ❤❤
what a sound bloke! no ego, just seems really happy to share his stories and knowledge from the past!
that lyrics, that voice, that beat, that guitar,...they are just the best
Oh holy moly, the never let me down again rift.
still regretting discovering this after many years since its happening and not having the chance to even participate to the auction
When I was a teenager I used to go to the music store and try the Emax over and over again to play DM songs. This is the best video I've seen in CZcams, period. Thank you !!!
AlejPix ((::))
+MalaTemporaCurrunt This was the one I used to try in the music store :) omg If only I had it like you ;)
Ah yes, a digital Mellotron. Cool. 😎
I LOVE YOU ALAN YOUR THE TALLENT IN DEPECHE!!!!
That version of I want you now, 7:40, that's great.
Thank you Alan!
He does magic with the keyboard!
Alan is so kind and talented, I'm wondering what made him leaving the band. This gets me emotional even though I'm a very new DM fan
*****

Dave Gahan being a dick...(but that was when he was heavily addicted...)
Someone buy him a table.
Come back my king, we need you 😢
I bet he and we would love to se him on that magnificent strange and an sold out stadium singing for him❤
I'll never forgive Gore's snubbing of Wilder after Wilder delivered to Depeche Mode their only #1 hit. I consider Wilder to be one of the pillars of the band. Without him, DM has just been kind of flailing after.
02:40, you know instantly what's coming next with two notes. 🙂
Maestro!
cant see this without goosebumps
They are a team. All are equally brilliant.
I love alot of music from other bands too! Talent is a God giving blessing isn't that awesome how music touches our hearts and minds!?
Please Return!!!!! In your band!!!! Forever DM!!!
I love you buddy...i cried when i watched you tell and sell...
Алан очень крутой музыкант. Его уход из DM был драмой для меня
9:25 SOFAD sound 😢 i love this remix
i miss the old 1990-93 sound of dm
violator and 'songs' were the best from the soundscape viewpoint
DM were never same after Alan left
Alan i love you!....theres no Depeche without you...but ill follow your new music
Jeder Ton eine Erinnerung. Grossartig...
Alan i miss you!!!
With love from Moskow!!!
