J'ai vu passer ce doc cent mille fois sur YT, et je n'ai jamais daigné le regarder.

Why?
Allez posons-nous la question!

Ben je crois que tout ce qui ne concerne pas Wilder, je m'en fous un peu.
Ai-je tort ou raison? Franchement je sais pas, je m'en tape, mais j'aimerai bien votre opinion.

[Super Shogun]

Tu peux l'oublier Wilder maintenant, c'est fini, on ne le reverra jamais. La mort de Fletch était le timing parfait pour qu'il revienne. Les deux autres n'ont pas voulu, c'est terminé.

[Monsieur Vilak]

Oh mais je savais depuis des années et des années, en fait depuis les auctions, qu'il ne reviendrait jamais.

[Super Shogun]

Moi j'y croyais encore, ne serait-ce que pour faire un buzz et ramasser encore plus de blé pour le groupe dans une tournée "come back", sachant que des tas de fans n'attendent que ça. Mais là, c'est bel et bien terminé. Il n'y a plus aucun espoir que ça n'arrive. Part à 2, c'est mieux qu'à 3...

[Monsieur Vilak]

Et tant pis pour la qualité des disques, c'est la tournée qui rapporte!

[Super Shogun]

Leur dernier album, je ne l'ai écouté que 3 fois...

[Monsieur Vilak]

Une seule pour moi!!!!

Je me rappelle très bien de cette interview lorsqu'elle fut diffusée pour la première fois sur France 2, au début des années 2000.

À l'époque, je trouvais d'ailleurs que Gahan affichait toujours une mine de beau gosse malgré tous les tourments qu'il avait endurés et après cette addiction à cette fichue coke qui lui a pourri la vie pendant tant d'années.

[Monsieur Vilak]

C'est vrai que quand tu vois ce qu'était devenu Daniel Darc...

[Monsieur Vilak]

“The best thing that happened to Dave was his arrest. They forced him to go into rehab and told him that if he didn’t come out clean, then he would be chucked out of America, and I think his love for America, and his desire to be able to work there and live there as much as he wanted — plus he suddenly realised the impact everything was having on the band — helped him through that.” —Daniel Miller, 2001

After Milan’s ‘vibey’ mix of experimentation and city nightlife, the band knuckled down at Puk in Denmark, where most of Violator was recorded. Wilder and Flood toiled for weeks, trying to texture the electronics to give them a human rather than mechanical feeling. The organic, ‘live’ elements had definitely added a new feel to the music but the art was to make the join between man and machine invisible, so that you couldn’t detect where one started and the other finished. ‘I found myself sitting in a field in northern Denmark where all you could do there was work,’ remembers Flood. ‘That was a very creative session, although Fletch was going through a difficult period in his life and he had to leave to sort himself out.’
During the band’s stay in Puk they were living in two residential cottages. Gahan, Wilder and Daryl Bamonte shared one, while Gore, Fletcher and Flood stayed in the other. Wilder remembers hearing from Flood and Gore that their live-in mate was moping around the cottage all day. Eventually it got so bad that everyone suggested he should fly back to London and get some professional help. According to Wilder,
‘He saw a specialist psychiatrist but nothing really changed for a long time. He went to various doctors and got different tranquillizer prescriptions and so on. He also went to stay at a place called the Priory but he didn’t really seem to improve. He certainly changed because the drugs he was taking made him manic. I don’t know what they put in that stuff but he was very speedy, so he’d be talking a mile a minute. You could tell it wasn’t his normal self. I don’t think he really got any better for several years. He seemed to go up and down, and he was regularly checking himself in and out of the Priory until I left the group in 1995.’

Mon commentaire en direct maintenant right now:

Fletch was dead weight since day one, He was cancer since days two!


Putain qu'est-ce que je vais prendre dans la gueule!!!!!!!!

[Monsieur Vilak]

Alan Wilder: “Nobody enjoyed business meetings very much. In fact, Martin would always do his best to avoid them — mainly because there would usually be an ‘off’ at any given point, typically over something trivial. The two members who were most prone to scrapping were the two that, luckily, never actually came to blows!”

While Wilder’s professionalism prevented him from naming names, Gahan had no such qualms.

“Fletch has had a fight with everyone [in Depeche Mode] but me,” he told Gavin Friday. “He’s never actually tried to hit me. But just lately I think he’s potentially been thinking about it.”

Qui aurait cru que Fletch était une telle pute? Moi je le voyais comme le plus calme, le plus "inutile" de tous, forcément. Mais il semblait avoir de GROS problèmes psy...
