If that were the tribute to MJ, then Dave Gahan would say something, like, "Michael Jackson we love you" and not "ladies and gentlemen, here is Martin Gore," as you come at all on such a hare-brained idea?
this sure as hell ain't Billie Jean. Not even remotely similar, except for the tempo maybe... If they wanted to pay tribute to MJ they'd probably have made it more obvious. Like during Strangelove, where they clearly did pay tribute.
From what I know, the only DM tribute to MJ was during Paris show (their first show after MJ died), during Strangelove: Dave did a moonwalk and screamed like MJ.
WTF? Was in in there for an 1/8 of a second - becasue I certainly heard nothing. And where they on stage singing, becasue all I saw were three space man. Maybe that was the tribute - 3 space men floating around.
If they were paying tribute to someone like MJ, wouldn't it be CLEARLY evident without any debate and very noticable, like David saying a few words about him or showing MJ on the big screen??? Why would they 'barely' make it evident?
Wrong!!!!! No MJ in this song. Not Hidden, Not Subtle, Nothing. If you think there is Billie Jean somewhere in there then you should have your hearing checked.
Everybody quit your bitchin'! Actually, to be fair, the tribute is very subtle. You have to REALLY be paying attention. About 8 bars after Martin starts his guitar solo, you can hear a synth hook emulating the beginning notes of Billie Jean. They made subtle tributes to him throughout their tour. When I saw them in Toronto last summer, Dave let loose a couple of "HEE-HEES!" during their performance of Strangelove"
he did a tribute,but it´s not obvious to see or hear in this vid here,that´s the problem.Take a look at more videos of the concert and convince yourself!
you plank!!! they have astronaut suits on, thats as near as it gets to a moonwalk. sorry to dissapoint you, but that 'aint no tribute. the words 'clutching at straws' ,come to mind!!!!!!!!!!!
It is not a tribute; SHouldn't over shadow a good bands performance and musical intentions with another artist who you like more of.
"2 bar similarities does not constitute a tribute, and if it was they would have mentioned MJ rather than MLG. Actually know when a tribute is a tribute, yeah?
Um, a tribute?- a stretch! Depeche have been throwing jams along these same disco-jangley-guitar breaks live for the last three tours. Second, a two-bar similarity does not make it a tribute of any kind. Usually the artist for whom the tribute is is mentioned.
Hi, but....if you refer to the 1:39 to 2:00 choirs, those are from one of the Enjoy the Silence Versions included in the single with the same name, and they used these chords (but more powerfull) in the world violation tour and some other live performances, I don't think this have anything of a Michale Jackson's tribute... anyway, nice video.
I know exactly what you mean but can't you hear the difference? I mean when the choirs set in. It's not a question of when but where. Hard to explain. Your (the original) choirs are supposed to set in after the pam pams(choirs) you hear in this version lol. It's in the timing.
mdr faut chercher loin, je les ai vus en concert y a pas longtemps et il y avait exactement la meme partie instrumentale, mais jamais j'ai pensé a MJ! lol
I believe you, there's defenitely a difference somewhere after this 2:39 pam pam, pam pam, yep billie jean and it's not on my Ahoy Rotterdam video lol that's for sure.
It's there! It took me a while to hear it cos I was expecting the guitar riff, not the keyboard. So funny because my DM tribute has been messing around throwing MJ parts in at practice since MJ has been on our minds lately. In fact I just thew in the Billy Jean guitar riff during ETS at our show the other night (transposed to make it fit in). I'll have to upload a vid. I had no idea DM did something too until now.
Cool video. I always appreciate Depeche Mode concert footage. Maybe I've missed something, but I don't hear anything from Billie Jean. No Moonwalk either, unless you count the photos of Dave, Martin and Fletch in spacesuits on the wide screen!
Nada que ver. Depeche es infinitamente superior, y no debe rendirle tributo a nadie.
Mr. Martin L. Gore, mi Dios personal, siempre hace estos juegos en el intermedio de Enjoy the silence haciendo de cada interpretación una joya única e insuperable.
it actually starts at 1 ;40 and is just in the background, but that little riff is not on any other ETS that I have either in my home footage or on youtube that I can find.
Pues con todo respeto a stripdip tendrías que ver los conciertos anteriores a este para que veas que casi desde el inicio de la gira TOTU ha venido haciendo ese "hee-hee" y no para hacerle ningún homenaje a ese señor Jackson. Además hay que ver los conciertos de los 80as. para que veas que Dave siempre ha hecho ese tipo de expresiones, chécalos aquí mismo y verás.
I did notice that in two concerts I went to, during Strangelove I think, Dave did a "hee-hee" like Michael. Don't know if that is sheer coincidence or his own tribute. I've never heard him do that before in previous concerts.
:) it' a nice way to get some attention to this incredible talent shown here by relating it to something that is on everyone's lips at the moment. but i'm afraid that this is how this song normally sounds in concert :)
a coté de la plaque le mec... il aurait du mentionner que dave rend hommage a michael jackson pendant "strangelove " ou il lance le fameux " hiiii hiiii " de michael( j'étais à paris et à carcassonne et il l'a fait lors des deux concerts)
There is no Mchael Jackson tribute, whatsoever. I'm a musician and a keyboardist, and all I hear is the hook baseline from "Enjoy The Silence" return in the song...but no "Billy Jean" riff whatsoever???
I think it already starts at 1:40 - it's pretty much in the background, it's the few notes on the keyboard which sound a bit like the keyboard line in Billy jean.
Here it´s only Depeche Mode. Who wrote something about Michael J...no truth!!
