ONTD Original: Musicians Covering Depeche Mode

[namae_nai]

Depeche Mode have been blessing our ears since 1981 and many pop and rock artists and producers have cited them as their inspiration or reason they got into music. Even Lady Gaga herself at some point was going to make a cover of their song but unfortunately we're still waiting for that one.

So, to celebrate the fact that they're going to be

i LOVED this cover when it came out. i think it was on vampire diaries?

[hiddenpalm]

It was. I was coming to make sure it was mentioned.

[ohmylol]

So you like SHINee and Depeche Mode OP??? Flawless flawless taste!!

I watched that live concert when it aired and it was fantastic , there is nothing I want to do more than are them Live, they are truly iconic and one of the best groups ever , I had no idea so many groups did so many covers , their impact !

same at ya!!

me too, i missed their concerts twice when they came to my country and i'm still kicking myself, especially since the future of live performances is so uncertain. my friend went and she was underwhelmed and i really wish i was in her place, lol!

[ohmylol]

They have only came to my country once and I didn't go because I wasn't a fan at the time, I became one 2 months after their concert 😭😭😭😭💔💔💔💔, so now I always kick myself about not going, but everyone has told me they are Soo good live, i hope they do another tour 2021-2022 and I can watch them

i guess i'm sort of in the same boat! because while i considered myself a fan i was actually a new gen teen fan who was obsessed with playing the angel a lot (lmao remember when their song was on sims 2 in simlish?!) and knew their most popular hits but had no idea about their body of work from the 80s. i didn't even know about alan wilder until like a year ago 💀 so in a way maybe it's a good thing i didn't go and see them before i discovered all their music, fingers crossed we'll get to see them when they tour again!

Johnny Cash's cover of "Personal Jesus" remains my favorite, much like how his cover of NIN's "Hurt" is now the definitive version to me.

Somehow in all my years I have never had the chance to see Depeche Mode live and it kills me. When I was still living in FL we had a hurricane cancel one, and then conveniently every time they've played NYC in the 11+ years I've lived here I've been out of town. Praying we get one last tour out of them after quarantine ends.

I’ve also always wanted to see them live! I feel like I have loved their music from when I started having a memory of music. True musical icons.

[oblivious_frog]

Yesss! They're truly iconic and I've loved them as far back as I can remember 💕

I had no idea you were a Def Leppard fan! I'm primarily a fan of the Steve Clark years (he's why I first picked up a guitar,) but I was also surprised to see them on ONTD.

Yeah, Steve's relationship with his father is a lot like mine with mine with my biological father, where nothing we did was ever going to be good enough, and I related to him so much because of that. I was about 3 1/2 years old when Steve died, too, so it also was before my time, and yet..

I'mma go listen to "Pyromania" on repeat for like two hours. XD
