  • See Courtney, it´s not that hard getting of heroin. You just have to be awesome like Dave Gahan.

  • lol @ the " Oh, Dave" in the beginning.

  • Total junkbag then. What the fuck...

  • Dave was very sick at the time...

    I'm glad he's doing alright now.

    Massive hero of mine.

  • It is extremely sad what Dave Gahan became from the early days of Depeche Mode He...turned into an outright Speedball juicing,

    narcissistic, self indulgent twit.

    The typical materialistic rock and roll heroin junkie, just like every other Rock and Roll icon who just like Dave, claimed to be the " original' Rock and Roll God. Aren't they all? Sadly, he believed the media and fan hype and lost sense of who HE really was, as a human being inside. he's lucky he didn't OD to death in LA

  • Top guy and a real talent. Love the sincerity and darknesss of Depeche Modes music. Its just amazing. Also like other dark UK groups like Tricky, Gary Numan, Massive Attack, Portishead, Sneaker Pimps, Kosheen, Unkle, Allflaws

  • Poor dave

  • Dave is half jewish and martin half african american i love depeche mode

  • @lovesexpistols134 Really? Nah uh, Dave is all british! I think.....

  • @lovesexpistols134 Dave is not Jewish.

    Far as i know he is 100% British and for religion...he is Christian. 

  • god this was the tour where i thought "what the fuck have these cunts become".

  • what's the song at 2:48 ?

  • @wHisperis001

    the song called "I feel you" from the album " songs of faith and devotion "

  • i can't believe. i mean, look at DM! 80 - a normal boy band. 90 - dave's doing drugs, i don't know how dave and DM got through that... :/

  • "everyone's got wings you just gotta find them and open them" haha a tad cheesy but what an inspiring man :)

  • proof h is the best.

  • I personally think he looks gorgeous in his junkie rock-star phase...

  • za duzo Davidzie

  • i actually love this poor man

  • I would LOVE to meet this man!

  • What a poor guy in blue jacket!

  • At 4:27.Tip two:STAY AWAY FROM THE DRINK N' THE DRUGS,YOU KNOW...

  • poxa podia por legenda

  • It always makes me sad when I look at Dave from this period... Thankfully, he didn't end up like many artists having problems with drugs (although he was very close) and he became funny and cheerful again :) It's the most admirable thing about him, this ability to live through these horrible things in life and not only survive but also keep doing amazing music :)

  • @Evvyione At 4:30 Dave looks straight into the camera when he says "stay away from the drink and the drugs", and looks like he would've cried if Johnny hadn't continued.

  • This is quite horrible to watch really. Drug addiction is hell and not funny at all, ok its self inflicted but to get over it like he did is such a good thing. That Johnny what is his name has no excuse for his stupid behaviour, he is a prat naturally with no drugs to help! He certainly couldnt have been enjoying himself at that time in his life. He's lovely..... yum!

  • Johnny Vaughan ya prick! The Godfather of the T4 Sarcasm Squad. Where is he now? Trying to make out that what the Mode do went out of fashion in the 80's. Ignorant Shit!

  • Sad, this little interview is,

    But Dave, be well, the greatest band ever must keep on, keeping on!

  • people sometimes need to thoroughly lose themselves to find themselves...

  • "Everybody has wings, you just have to spread them and fly" - Dave Gahan is genius. He is a real rock God and now even more. I love the tips he gave this funny guy and the way he talks about his band - he is a man with a vision, if it wasn't for him Depeche mode would have never become what they are now :)))))

  • Dave Gahan with long hair is sooooo Yummy!

  • DAVE IS AWESOME SEEMED A LITTLE BIT COKED OUT BUT I MEAN WHO GIVES A FUCK THE GUY IS A ROCK STAR!!! LOVE DEPECHE MODE

  • Songs of fath and devotion was totally worth all the drugs in the world!

  • yes...dave is high...but who cares? hes freakin dave gahan!!! he can do or BE ANYTHING HE WANTS!!!

  • he is drunken and stoned....good that he is back again!

  • the guy is determinately on drugs =(

  • WTF!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!HE'S FLOP FLEEP FLIPPIN CUSSIN!!!!!!!!!!!i've never heard him cuss....that's fuckin awesome!lol love his music

  • That interview is from 1993 and Dave is clean for 14 years now! Who cares about that f...ing, old interview? Why are people always more interested in Dave's past drug addiction then in his music?

  • its cringe worthy to see him like this, turned into the cliched rock star, bad tattoos and long hair (which never suited him). Theres nothing wrong with doing drugs but when its heroin you know your on a downward spiral.

  • @69crafty look on the brightside! he was fun! and he stopped....:(jk lol(i mean jk about the sad face)

  • @69crafty I been a heroin affict for 10 years. ONLY clean for a month man!!!!!!!!!!!!! And YOU just said the TRUEST words in HISTORY! SPIRAL is an understatement!

  • who cares if a artist does drugs? majority of people who strive for a new emotional feeling (artists) do drugs to experience different levels of spirituality, thats why so many musicians do drugs, i'm not saying thats good exactly but it shouldn't be a big deal in my opinion

  • regardless of his sobriety, you can see that he really believes it... he means every word he is saying and clearly believes in DM... he may have been having a love affair with drugs, but he still loved performing in depeche.

  • Im glad he got clean - when high he's a typical Junkie asshole! - that being said. "Songs of Faith and Devotion" was a pretty amazing album..Unfortunately, making the album was hell...

  • @Hermes4Apollo he seemed pretty fun in my opinion lol

  • The sad truth is that even though Dave was at his worst point ... he DID as a result of this churn out his most amazing vocals and live performances EVER IMO.

  • now I see why they canceled the show I was going to.....sucks to see him like this...but awesome to see him get bqack...but...what was the real reason they canceled so many shows on the last tour??????????????????????????

  • uff curt cobain posed with his addiction with much more style, dave seems completely destroyed and the interviewer is a jerk, i don't understand English very well, is he making fun of Dave and the band?. the drugs don't work, thanks for escape from them and make ultra and exciter and kick to the interviewer in the mouth

  • Thank you, Suzie Holmes' brother.

  • @h1wayman None of them are gay.

  • I want to go camping with Dave! Too bad he was so wasted. Saw this concert and he was at his hottest! Digging the clean cut look too though!

  • E vaiiiiiiiiii Dave versione STRAFATTO ma ugualmente fichissimo!! I do love you Dave!!!

  • Comment removed

  • @h1wayman Dave will be remembered forever, but you won't be remembered for anything you fucking moron!!!!

  • man Dave was messed up, so glad he turned it around. I wish Alan would come back too

  • 1990, 1991, 1992, 1993 ... 1997, 1998...

    Glad he's back.

  • this is probably the room where he would shoot himself up

  • OMG! Dave is high as sh*t!! :D

  • scusate......non posso commentare!

    mi limito alla punteggiatura..... ! ! ! ! !

  • Блин,тяжелое состояние....Практически психическое расстройство,героин...........­...Распад на части...в 97 году-новый человек

  • Эндрю Флетчер : «Это был кромешный ад».

  • перевод бы.

  • A myślałam, że tylko ja nie patrzę w oczy komuś, z kim rozmawiam. Tak z boku to bardzo dziwnie wygląda xD

  • shit! if i was dave i would of been dead by now. Too much fun

  • So what if he was wasted?None of us know him as a person,we're in it for the music!

    Dave has turned it around now and DM are still strong in 2010..

    They've reinvented themselves a few times without ever really throwing away their uniqueness..Dave has got that solo thing outta his hair..I hope!Saw them in concert last december,they were excellent,so lets hope they tour again soon

  • omG Dave! He is drunk.. or something!

  • It's terrible to see Dave like that BUT that's all in the past. He was intelligent and strong enough to realise what he was doing and changed his life. Not everybody is able to do that so I can only admire him also as a person, not just as an artist.

  • ahahahahah funny stuff though

  • DM Супер!!!!

  • i fucking love his dancing ;)

  • I've just seen Dave's 1982 interview and now I see this. It's like two different people!

  • He seems much darker...it's a bit saddening yet it's a huge part of who he is. Love David, he is such a beautiful person.

  • I love Devotional time !

  • Le vin vient d'Alsace lol

    Vive la France!

  • Hooray, he said his name right!

  • doidao

  • what a look back, Glad to see a real Dave of himself now ! Thx Hes still with us :)

  • I bet after he was given that knife, he started to cut his coke with it after that awful vj left his room and got f*cking high again! haha

  • He was definitely up to something "BIGGER".

  • DAVID!!!

  • Watching this i feel an urge that if i was there i'd wanna help him out of it. He's well now though.

  • Poor guy! this is when he was losing it!! he looks great now, glad hes off the drugs

  • For me he's one of the best singers ever and he's So hot!

    ... yeah he's hot =D

  • ya andaba pacheco el dave jejeje

  • He likes that "spread your wings" analogy doesn't he? An advert against drink and drugs if ever i saw one....

  • @TotallyLongo ahaha and it sounds credible!

  • 5:59 Haha!

  • @NanoverseProductions what does he said?

  • Best interview ever!

  • Wow, he was totally fucked on that interview.....Glad he's sorted himself out.

  • @binitials Yeah... I'm glad he snorted himself out too.

  • DAVE DAVE DAVE!

    I want him to be king of the world yeah that'd be a fucking good government... Dave Gahan as king and Fletcher and Gore as his princes

  • And Fletcher and MArtin married as in Suffer Well's video risht? :)

  • yeah

  • "we just totally f***ing kick ass", thats funny Dave.

  • Didn't he begin his drug use during/right before "Violater"?

    Ah, anyway, Mr.Gahan is sheer genious, strung out or not.

  • @vegastr0n maybe waaayyy before too

  • His expression on his face about what he said at 4:27 was heartbreaking. Just pure HONESTY!! I'm glad he's doing much better now!

  • I used to think this was his best look, but honestly, it's painfull to watch this now. thank god he survived!!

  • I don't really think it was his worst time

    All artists used to drink a lot and take drugs it's just normal for them

    In my opinion it was very creative period for the group, they made best songs then and Devotional tour was awesome

    I love Dave's image with long hair, he's so handsome and sexy here

    Anyway I like tip two and tip three

  • My friend says Dave used to come in to Tower Records on Sunset Blvd. and fix in the bathroom there all the time...he loved geeking out in that bathroom.

  • johnny vaughns hair is kak. dave wuz monged here

  • Are you serious? Dave looked his best with the long hair and the beard.

  • Dave replies to cocaine: "Never Let me Down"!!

    Well, Dave, God save you cos' I believe you are a good person and you don´t deserved to die at that moment!!

  • At the time since 1993 until 1997:The drugs put him down!!! He had been poisoned by cocaine and another kind of drugs!!

    but now he´s a new person!!

  • minchia come stava...Dave sei grande !!!

  • non esiste niente di più bello al mondo di Dave in questo video!

  • Haha, rock n' roll!

  • okay,he was very down,but i love him.please stop making mean comments guys...

  • @takemedave could you tell me what video they keep showing? what song is that. the black and white video.

  • @bugmusk6: the part where it´s only black and white?This is the song "I feel you"!Greetings from germany,Karen:)

  • gosh he was fucked up...and totally AWESOME.

  • in questo video è fottutamente desiderabile...

  • He's lucky to be alive!

  • Still some encouraging words and personality here. Their best shows were from this era, Gahan-wise, IMO.

  • Fucked Up! *___*

  • damn. he was a complete mess. thank GOD he came out of that.

  • i realy love him but that was his worsest time just because of these fucked up drugs-.-

  • @bananenbart yap-((( but performances and songs of sofad is the greatest I think. Is it because of his condition? anyway that period gave him great experience and it's good

  • love him.

  • he's fucked up !

  • No comment. whathever they do I love the songs of spirit and voice of anniversary.

  • He is so much better now!! I saw DM in Argentina last moth, the show was amazing!!! They seem to be in a great moment. I really love them :).

  • A former heroin addict being interviewd by a former coke dealer. Not a great mix.

  • well...welcome in the MUSIC INDUSTRY with some tips from the 'master' no drinks,no drugs...sadly hillarious.

  • Former ????? In '93 Dave was a major junkie

  • Lol. Yeah. I'd forgotten the date of the interview ;)

  • He says stay away from drugs and alcohol as he sips his drink and is wasted on heroin.

  • thanks god he`s much more better now! :) who knows, maybe if he hadn`t experienced his rough times, we wouldn`t have adored Songs of Faith and Devotion. this album`s a real confession, a masterpiece! can`t wait to see them live in Kiev!!!

  • ..But some of their best music came from these times.

  • Nice one Vaughan!!

    Gahans troubled times after moving to USA.

  • Dave esta mejor que nunca! He's better than ever, and sing and dance and shine in an amazing way! He's great!

  • Menos mal y xa q vean algunos q parece q les gusta ver la caida mas profunda de los artistas,aqi tenemos a dave gahan en estado de desgracia.Lo siento xo es asi,apaesar de q el sofad es un discazo y q en determinados momentos estaba super sexy esto no se debe repetir jamas.Yo por lo menos no qiero ver dave nunca mas en ese estado ni con ese fisico,con lo guapisimo q esta ahora xdioosss.

  • I love DM, always have and always will but, to see Dave like this always saddens me. I'm so glad that he has turned a corner and ditched that rock look in favour of the traditional, clean-cut Dave Gahan that we all know and love.

  • IN SPANISH PLEASE!!

  • Bless their little Essex hearts! X

  • wow, he's thirsty!

  • They were rough times yet still managed to make Song of Faith or Ultra kickass albums.

  • must of been during his michael hutchence look days.i liked him better with the longer hair.he looked so gay with that frigkin short hair shit.

  • Did anyone notice his accent changed during the years he's been in the US? In this interview you can really hear hes an englishman x) But he looked great with the hair :o he still does, so i guess hes just too damn handsome n charming ;)

  • "We went through a stage looking like that...we regret it now" lmao

  • Oh, it's sad to see this.

    A band and a man who go to the top, and drugs make you fall down.

    I'm glad he's way over all that. But I really hope he does not get cancer or some horrible disease and gets taken away from us.

    God Bless You, Mr. Gahan.

  • don't know about you but he seemed to be having a good time

  • He's sexy!! i love the hair!

  • Yeah I went to the Phx concert too, and I agree...they all looked soo great!

  • Comment removed

  • eso que le regalan es un cuchillo ?....que alguien me lo explique porque no lo entiendo...por favor

  • se supone que es un cuchillo que el uso en un campamento antes de hacerse famoso.. lo guardo alguien que lo conocia

  • I think he had drugs before the reporter came.He's too full of energy.

  • I live in Phoenix, AZ and I just got back from a DM concert and Dave looked pretty healthy up there on stage.

  • Whoo hoo...me too!

    (well last night now)

  • "I would say get rid of the whooole outfit" lmao

  • I realize that heroin addiction is no laughing matter, but I just could not help cracking up during certain parts of this interview.

  • can someibe please tell me who had that knife since the 70's? I only understand something like" susie's brother" ???

    thanks!

  • @sayanything10: I saw DM in concert on July 24th and Dave was smokin' HOT!

  • It's heartbreaking to see how skinny and sickly-looking Dave was from the drugs back in those dark days. Now that he's clean and sober, he's bringing sexy back!

  • definitely difficult to watch, but i saw dm in concert recently and he was HOT!

  • its depressing to see him like this..so glad he recovered!

  • hard to watch that.

  • wow you guys act so against the pot, so what if he is stoned? he was enjoying himself and made good music while doing so ;)

  • i guess he was not enjoying himself since he tried to kill himself in the 90's!

  • We're clearly not dealing with just "pot" here, idiot. And he couldn't have been enjoying himself all that much seeing how he attempted suicide around this period. Since when is ADDICTION actually enjoyable, fool?

  • love you Dave, and admire from my heart.

    i am impressed how skinny you were those days. please take care.

  • Dave sei bellissimo!!! Ma che braccia lunghe che haii :D !! Avviluppami tutta .... :D

  • He has always been one of the more rare breeds that tend to be more open about themselves but this interview is probably the most baring of all. But why did the idiot interviewer cut him off at 4:31 when Dave was just about to say something about his drug use that sounded like it was going to be one of the most profound statements about himself and what he was going through!

  • @socaldm you are so right, yea, at 4:31 he has such an honest, soul-searching expression, such sadness. ( as throughout the whole interview). Drug addiction is a strange thing, because there is much shame and hiding truths from oneself mostly, but one is not blind to it, and it s kind of like a deadly dance.

  • This is Dave at his lowest, yet most honest points in his life, speaking straight from the heart. I guess he was "stripped" of any facade that most entertainers these days hide behind.

  • That was his "Jesus image" and it sort of hurt seeing him like that. I`m glad he is himself again today.

  • Dave con el pelo largo estaba guapísimo... pero me alegro muchísimo de que lograse salir de todo aquello y del último susto. Cuídate mucho mi amor, nos vemos en 8 días en Pucela y luego en Sevilla, Madrid...

  • oh god... he is so stoned... it's terrible to look him like that... i'm glad that he grew up!
