This is so cool…We have to remember that Gore did wrote most of his song
playing the guitar. But without Alan and all his work to make Depeche sound
the way they did this band would never ever be close to the sucess they
actually did… Thumbs up everyone who loves the two big pads he got…
While he was most certainly the musical genius within DM, it’s a shame to
think what DM would be today had all could have worked out their
differences and gotten back together. I’m sure Andy is in a better place
but his attention to detail made DM what they became. Violator catapulted
DM into the US and no one could ignore them anymore. While DM has produced
a number of good songs without Alan, most of my favorites are still in the
days of Alans tenure with the band.
Dear Alan, if you come back to Depeche Mode, I will give you the following
things: 1) my used moped 2) my friend’s cat Muffles and 3) a slightly
nibbled biscuit on the table in front of me.
ha ha Alan Wilder! ı remember watchıng 101 and thıs scene over and over,
when ı was a damn kıd..ı totally agree that wıthout Alan Wilder, DM wıll
never be the same agaın..they were unique ın the 80’s and early 90’s ..the
fantastıc four seems to be hıstory, shame..
WOAH!!! Alan made a mistake AT 1.19? (take a look at his right hand, he
hits 2 notes at once, instead of one) I’VE NEVER SEEN ANYTHING LIKE IT! But
I Forgive you, because you are a genious!
no shit.. right. depeche mode is really these 4 guys. dave singing, martin
writing and alan doing the sounds and fleshing out the songs. The band
hasn’t been the same without him.
Depeche Mode sounds pretty good but not as good as it was when Alan Wilder
was in it and he contributed to the sound of DM and the reason DM still
sounds great its bcuz they play the old stuff that Alan had so much to do
with… nuff said…
Alan Wilder was the perfect replacement for Vince. He was the sonic
backbone of DM for so long and an amazingly talented musician. Just my
opinion but I completely lost interest in Depeche once he’d left. I still
think Martin Gore is one of the great songwriters of my generation though.
Bottom line, it was Alan Wilder’s decision to leave because he was
disillusioned with Depeche Mode: Dave Gahan’s downward spiral on drugs, the
lack of healthy communication between Martin, Andy and Alan and the
pressures of being in such a toxic, non-creative, shackled environment.
While I do forgive that Alan Wilder walked away, it’s unfortunate that once
Gahan bounced back and some years had passed that Alan Wilder couldn’t
include DM back into his creative and artistic life. Life goes on.

He makes my heart smile!

If Alan’s face was the last train out of town…I would be ON IT!!!! SOOO
HAWT!!!!
Alan is so elegant.

come back to depeche mode…please Alan
one of the bect scenes of 101
@fourthemasses i have to agree, 1983-1995 was probably depeche mode’s peak
years

Glad to find a DM fan who isn’t a «Dave Slave»
not the same without alan
E-MU EMAX :)
Such a nice guy.
We love you Alan! you rock! I wish I could see you with Dm again :'(… you
marked a long path we will never forget!
i wish he give us more classes of playing synthetizer

Who knew learning about musical instruments could be so hot?
Bravo, bravo and another one time bravo! :)

SO FUCKING ADORABLE AND BRITISH.
