OMD, Thomas Dolby and Wire opening for Depeche Mode at Pasadena Rose Bowl 101 concert was one of my greatest moments of my youth. I'll never forget that day.

Depeche mode have crossed all generations. They are iconic relevant legends. My grown up children love them as much as I do. It’s quite something to appeal to an audience from 1980 until now. My late mother liked them too. The kings of cool ❤

I’m a head banging, metal 🤘 up your ass, Pantera, Megadeth, RAMMSTEIN devotee ….but Depeche Mode is absolutely incredible. One of the rare bands that gets me to jump out of the mosh pit. I just can’t get enough 😂😂😂😂 everything counts in large amounts!!!

When I was 15, my dad got me a depeche Mode CD, none other than Violator! He had no idea what that meant or how he started a 3-decade long devotion and obsession with their songs! Without the internet in the early 90's and no Depeche Mode awareness in Egypt, I was so grateful my dad chose to just ask the CD Music Store in Paris what's cool right now and luckily asking the right person!

This is an awesome documentary. Respect to all who were involved in it.<br><br>And to all who are still upset about Alan leaving... Yes, we all agree that Alan Wilder is a music genius and has shaped Depeche Mode's style. <br><br>On contrary to some comments, this documentary actually has mentioned Alan's great input and does give a lot of credit to him throughout. <br><br>It's been so long since Alan left DM, so please just let it go.

The "Dark Progression" of Depeche was almost all Alan Wilder. A shame he wasn't mentioned more in this documentary. Martin may have written the lyrics and the song structures, but it was all Alan's crafting of the samples and sounds, the darkness and moodiness that really made; Some Great Reward - Black Celebration - Music for the Masses - Violator the incredible success they were.

I was 14 back in 1985, my dad got me a bootleg cassette, Master & Servants was in it. Since then Depeche Mode has been part of my life.

Listening to Policy of Truth on the radio hooked me forever, In Your Room sealed it for me.
