So kind🤗

You talked to a legend

He is married? His kids?

@jane braun Yes his Wife name is Jennifer if you Google David Gohan he has Three Kids with his Wife now. I met David Gohan and his family back in 2001 while he was making his Paper Monster Album, here in New York City. He told me about it before anyone knew about it. Because I asked him "Are you working on anything new." Dave had two small Children in a stroller with his wife Jennifer during that time.

@@easytiger3302 Lucky you, or wife! Would not mind bumping into him in a casual way like that. There are some stars who actually like interacting with regular folks!

Depeche Mode was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 2020. They are the first band playing electronic music in this company. They are one of the most influential bands in music history, inspiring artists from a wide variety of genres, from metal to hip hop, read about who recorded their covers, and how many artists admit that DM had the biggest influence on them. For the last two decades, they have regularly filled stadiums during concert tours. Every tour they've done since 2005 has easily ranked in the top ten highest-grossing concert tours of the year, according to statistics. They have been operating continuously for over 40 years. As the only artist in the history of music, they created their own subculture, especially in Eastern Europe, Germany, and Latin America; no other band has done it. I will not say that they are the top 5 bands in the world, because it is difficult to count, and such rankings are pointless, but they were something like The Rolling Stones of electronic music. It's just that the Stones have not discovered a new genre of music, and like Depche Mode no one played before them, they are precursors. And today, everyone in the world already uses synthesizers. And from an American point of view, they were the first band playing purely electronic music to fill a stadium in the USA (Rose Bowl 88)

That's complete and utter BS 🙄

We love DM in the UK! But, it bs to say they are top 5 in the world. That's like saying Jonathan Ross is loved in the UK 😂

Silly comment you C word

You had a great chance !

Nice story!

❤️❤️❤️❤️

Why would he ever care what you think of him and how weird would it be for you to mention it to him at all. Like Oh hey, I'm a total stranger but so you know I'm totally fine with the whole drug thing! Who cares?

Suertudo

Demon Days of Vinyl yes, hes certainly a tiger ♥♥♥

So is Martin

Demon Days of Vinyl I saw them yesterday! They look so good ❤️🔥

rede deutsch du dumme Sau!

He'd look even better if he shaved his stupid stubble.

true man!

90s too suede , Radiohead etc

So true.

So True, they absolutely lead the way during the New Wave Era

The only time in rock history where American bands were more creative than British bands was during the early 90s grunge era. Other than that, they've always been on top.

😂😂 it’s our British sense of humour. They loved it. Jonathan Ross is brilliant

It's just British humor, just like Ricky Gevais

People on here moaning about the questions directed at Dave should realise all the questions he’s being asked and the interview have already been rehearsed between them all beforehand do you honestly think it wasn’t rehearsed guys Cmon ?….

This is the Jonathan Ross show. Dave and Martin know exactly his style of interviewing guests. Plus everything is preplanned. That's why many don't like the show 😉

I'm not sure if that pic matches whose behind it but at any rate I agree and when did Martin morph into a HOBBIT!!?

Me too I’m 68 and In the last month played them more than ever ! RIP FLETCH YOU ARE MISSED

Yeah that right! Depeche Mode is my religion since about 25 years!❤

Same I love his personality

He truly is MLG

And dont forget his explosive laugh

He is a genius! Love him!

His voice, his beautiful smile, his heavenly blue eyes, he's everything 😍

I think Dave actually doesn't mind spreading the message, that there is recovery for everyone who wants it. There is probably no stigma for him although he's most likely aware of todays stigma in society. Him spreading the message could save many lives. No worries

I'm in recovery as well. I often speak about my addiction and 5 years of sobriety. But there are times I feel I'd rather talk talk about the present and not my past. I understand your comment tho.

Great, congrats on time.

Thank you!

I should also say that Depeche Mode is my favorite band! I credit their music with helping me stay true to my sobriety. I have the Violator rose tattooed on the inside of my right wrist along with my sober date.

Irina Holler me too. If they only knew what they meant to me

The interviewer seems very rude!

@@Tinamar65 He isn't usually like that but those questions were inappropriate.

It’s typical of British humor. Most other countries don’t understand it or think it’s offensive but it’s not uncommon there to make fun of yourself even if it’s a dark subject matter.

Me too. Five months in the planning. Took a bus ticket to Vegas from Hermosillo Mexico. 13 hour trip. Second tour seeing them live (saw them in Phoenix in September 27th 2017). Wore a black shirt and a Navy blazer because it's a one time event. Their music gave me bravery to travel solo and embrace the little things in life. I'm grateful for that experience as well. Memento Mori isn't the album we wanted: it's the album we needed.

I jealous you so much...😊 I would like to be at that time to feel this atmosphere.Seeing Dave young❤

you need to slow down

Led Zeppelin vs DEPECHE MODE??????? WTF? Are you my sister?

as well as mine

Lovely

U are beautiful!

You're damn right sister!!!! I show so many of my friends DM music and they always shun it for some reason and I find myself bewildered and confused on how they can't understand how freaking amazing Depeche Mode's music is!!

This is just one show! The management would've agreed to these questions beforehand!

Nukepower85 they really did a AMAZING show. I saw them in Denver on the second show of the tour. Absolutely INCREDIBLE.

truth.

He is A gentleman... dear god, how handsome and sexy he is still is!!!

I must be the 4rth guy and I'm straight too. :)

muestravida wooowww, say whaat, you say they straight. You sure. I ask because I love depeche mode but in a( nobody knows) attitude.. I can’t stop listening after a few sherbets etc to personal j and touch me..

Padme Dance And junkie thin

It's true. They have been selling out their shows here in the US for their tour. I was going to see them in San Diego but couldn't go but I heard they sold out. When you have great music you will have fans forever. They are a true real artist.

David Yarham i

It's 40 yrs now

The reason is that we, as a country, do not appreciate DM as the rest of the world do...if they entered the Eurovision song contest they would probably win, the problem is UK music is far more diverse and powerful than the rest of the world...we have too much choice!

@@glyndavies614 well, UK music can't seem to cut it in Eurovision! (just saying) :-D

This is BS! All questions are rehearsed before the show. The band agree to these questions beforehand! The band obviously didn't want to talk too seriously on a not so serious entertainment show! Do some research on Jonathan Ross 😉 He's still a massive bell end 😂

Like that guy how told Mike Tyson in a interview that he was a convicted rapist lol

But the thing is Dave doesn't take it to heart and he explains what and why he was feeling at that time and the heroin he was doing at least he came clean out of the other side👍🏻

no suicide attempts for dave, but addiction yes.

He did attempt suicide. He slit his wrists while talking to his mother on the phone.

Oh, yeah, I forgot about that. Poor guy... Thanks.
