Fletcher often gets overshadowed by Gahan and Gore, but he was there at day one. We just need to get Andy Fletcher down there for the total DM bro-fest. He and Gahan look at each other, smile at each other, lean against each other. But there is interaction with Martin Gore being in the front. Dave Gahan is still an epic front-man – the signature pelvic action and mic stand spins remain. PHOTO BY GREEN-EYED BLONDE PHOTOGRAPHY As we know, they didn’t collapse and watching their more recent shows, it’s night and day. Depeche Mode could have easily collapsed forever in the ‘90s and simply been a footnote in music. The reality was, the band members could not share a vehicle or dressing room and had to do separate interviews. I saw a band in their prime with no signs of slowing down.
I admit to being at all five nights of their Devotional Tour in Los Angeles and then replayed the live VHS (gasp) over and over…and I had no clue what was going on behind the scenes. But in the highest point of Depeche Mode’s popularity, the band was destroying itself, yet we didn’t know it. They started as synth-pop, led the new wave and electronic rock movement, grew into the alternative rock format, and continue to evolve without losing the heart of their sound.
