Interview with Anton Corbijn about Depeche Mode (22-04-09) SUBTITLES

[Lukianos]

DM had f**king luck, when they met Anton. He truly saw their TRUE "face" and transfered it to pictures and movie art...

[InsectoPerfecto]

What language is that? I do not understand!!!!! Does Anton speak German????

[FuellingObsession]

@InsectoPerfecto It's Dutch, as in the language that people from the Netherlands speak in. Anton is Dutch. Also, 90% of the other comments on this video involve the words "Netherlands" and "Holland", so that should have given you a clue.

[luxo231]

@FuellingObsession Thank you Fuelling Obsession.

[patriasuevia]

Unfortunately I only understand a few words. One more reason to finally learn Nederlands!

[Soleastic]

uuh I mean crazy :)

[OLDMANBADGER]

fucking dutch wankers. did i hear him say the other 2 let Dave bite the dust? Dave was living in LA , living it large and doing speedballs. Nothing to do with Fletch or Martin I dont think they were about to make his choices for him....

[KezefAdirion]

Thanks so much for the translation! I'm a HUGE fan of DM and Anton Corbijn and it's good to get to hear him speak about them and his work with other bands (Also a huge New Order fan, so Joy Division & the movie 'Control' were of interest to me).

[morrissey102]

omg-Holland don`t like DM? Holland people almost don`t know the band? WTF!? they are from the moon?

[FuellingObsession]

@morrissey102 Haha, no, we are not from the moon, but for some strange reason, there is no large DM following in the Netherlands.

I don't get it either. :)

[morrissey102]

@FuellingObsession yeah ! ireally fucking strange!wake up people!

[supperunknown]

@morrissey102

i'm dutch and i love DM ^^'

[Soleastic]

@morrissey102

I like Depeche Mode very very much, I'm Dutch (Holland) Not all Dutch people are insane, only 90% of them :)

[morrissey102]

@Soleastic tell me about insane?) i`m Russian)

[morrissey102]

@Soleastic i mean it 2009 year & they talk like with a litlle kids- "u know thete is a band,they are very famous,

& u know they are playing at the stadiums!wow!" it seems like that) semms like Dutch people live in vacuum all those years)

[supperunknown]

Hij regiseerde ook Heart Shaped Box van Nirvana,

HELD

[vovochka11]

correct me if I am wrong, but didn't he play drums on one of the DM concerts?

[FuellingObsession]

@vovochka11 Well it wasn't really a concert, but he did pretend to play drums on two TV performances, for Top of The Pops, in 1997. DM did not have a replacement for a drummer at that time, so they chose him. But those performances were playback, so he did not play it live. He did sort of fulfil his life long dream of becoming a drummer, though. You won't find the videos on Youtube, but I'm sure you can find it somewhere else.

[CorneliusRose25]

LOL Anton called Holland retarted for not liking DM. :P

[doubleoroos]

I dig this so much! Thanks for sharing....

[JaveDMode]

Man I had to pause it like 500 million times to read what they were saying. That host was getting on my nerves.

Thanx for the clip. Even though it kinda pissed me off. hahaha

[FuellingObsession]

@JaveDMode Hahaha, yeah sorry about that. Talking fast and very elaborately is one of the host's "things". I tried to summarize what he was saying/asking, but sometimes there was no way of doing so. But thanks for watching it anyway. :)

[JaveDMode]

@FuellingObsession Oh it wasn't the way he talks that pissed me off, it is what he was saying. It seemed to me like he was trying to run down DM. He better hope and pray I never see him in a dark alley. :)

[FuellingObsession]

@JaveDMode As much as I like to say that I disagree with what he's saying, he is right in saying that DM does not have a large following in the Netherlands. The Dutch non-fan will still think that DM is an eighties synthpop band, and that is what the host was also thinking prior to this interview. So that's why the interview is quite superficial, and he tried to made clear that DM has changed a lot over time.

And yes, I did the translation myself. :)

[JaveDMode]

@FuellingObsession Also, so you had to do the subtitles yourself?? Wow, that's hard work. Great job!

[mutedisease]

This is the man fully responsible for the image we all have in our heads of DM and U2. Without him, DM would probably have become Duran Duran, cheesiness included. All hail Anton Corbijn.

[FuellingObsession]

@mutedisease So true, I don't think DM would have survived without Anton. Anton once said in a Dutch interview that he gave DM "a soul". While I think this is exaggerated maybe just a bit too much, it is true that he made DM as we know it.

[TateishixSakura]

Ik hou van Depeche Mode en Anton Corbijn <3

[larulkens]

Kwam er vandaag ook achter dat hij de video voor stars voor roxette heeft bedacht.

[Rynosaur94]

Can't understand the moonspeak!

[FuellingObsession]

If you read the title and/or the video description, you will see that the video has subtitles. That means that you can enable the subtitles. The video description will tell you how to do that. You can also change the subtitle language to a language other than English, which is the standard language. However, since this will mean that the language will be automatically translated from English to your language, the syntax and/or lexis might not always be correct.

Knock yourself out. :)

[FuellingObsession]

The video description might not tell you accurately enough how to turn on the subtitles, so I will tell you how to do that, Move your cursor to your bottom right of the video, and place it on the arrow on the far right. Then click on "enable closed captions". In case you want to change the language from English to another one, hold your hand on the latter button and click on the little arrow. Then click "translate..". Hopefully this helps.

[TeveelTV]

Moonspeak.. I like that phrasing.

[Aszen88]

Prachtig!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[MikeVanderloo]

Prachtig interview met deze Hollandse grootheid die spijtig genoeg nog wel is overgeslagen en vergeten word in Holland.....En die nep geintresseerde tante aan tafel had haar mond moeten snoeren!

[ADGrooten]

Helemaal gelijk!(y)

[Kretek35]

die nep tante moesten ze eens vragen of ze het nummer "black day" kent. Geen wonder dat depeche nederland overslaat.

[JoyC666]

Depeche mode vind ik brilliant, U2 ook

[trancer4e4life]

Well, i want Dm to work with new poeple, but i love Anton's work and want to see more of him on DM.

[FuellingObsession]

Why? If DM themselves are happy with Anton, then why go to another photographer?

[crazymorph86]

Gebeurt niet vaak dat je Anton Corbijn in een interview Nederlands hoort spreken :-).

Bedankt om dit interview up te loaden

Dit van een Vlaamse fan. Long live depeche mode

[FuellingObsession]

Haha, ja, en hij is het ook niet echt meer gewend, geloof ik. Je hoort hem tussen het gesprek door constant Engelse woorden spreken, bijv."You know".

Long live Depeche Mode!

[FuellingObsession]

Sorry about some of the subtitles being way too fast: it's just that the talkshow host talks so rapidly!
