I had the pleasure of attending a lot of their shows and for some reason this song has always stuck in my head. It's just the way they put it all together! Martin is a great master talent! Dave is different by far! You can tell from his performance in this video. Andrew is just awesome! Thanks for posting!
I agree, that Dave's voice changed after his issues, but in my opinnion some other mysterious appearead there too, which weren't there before and I really enjoy them. That's why tour 1998 has one of the best sounds from those new...
OK mate nevermind!But it's all about this, he's sexy, the song is sensual and he gets +10 points just for being british,as you mentioned!!! I don't know where you come from, but I'm from Greece and I GO CRAZY about english guys...Thanks for replying!
I don't really know if there's something beyond their accent, but British men are usually so cute and polite and lovable...with the exception of Liam Gallagher who's handsome indeed but really inpolite and reppelling!
What are you talking about, he's the sexiest man that you could possibly see on stage at the moment!!! He's hot hot hot!!! And this song makes his moves even sexier... Love you Dave!
Regarding his voice, on this night he was having issues with the sound and was constantly making gestures towards stage left. If you watch the videos you will see him a few times making gestures and walking over to talk to someone probably one of the sound techs. I was there sounded way better in person trust me ;-)
Well, thing is, I don`t think Dave's voice sounds that bad now. It was just more powerful then... And I think tenor-like voices are harder to mantain than baritone ones.
I remem I was sitting in the nose bleeds during this show, and everytime David approached the mic it seemed that he was sitting on a stool. This tour seemed cliche, but man it was awesome to see David alive and well, it was sureal.
I agree, he was amazing on stage during the Angel tour. Even compared to the World Violation tour, he's much more confident now. Maybe it's because he's older and now feels like he fits into his skin or something. But yeah, the Singles tour was about getting back out there and he made no secret of the fact that touring terrified him. His voice was amazing, though.
I first went to see DM live in '84. To me they have always been great live, mainly because of Dave and his voice, moves and stage presence, but i have noticed that since the Devotional Tour his dancing has not been as'exciting'. If you watch him perform this track on that tour, his spinning with the microphone at the start was fantastic! Wether its getting older thats made him calmer, or not being 'high' on drugs i dont know,will love him always though!
OMG - I love this song. Especially when I saw it performed on the Angel tour. Man... what Dave can do with that microphone stand plus the junk grabbing...yowza! He makes my thighs go up in flames! :D
World in my eyes is a seminal classic and always will be! it shows the brilliance and perfect writing skill of martin gore,a perfectly written and constructed electronic song that always makes my head tingle when hearing it and will live forever as a classic of theirs...
Fletch was worth £15 million last time I checked, and part of one of the most successful British bands of all time. He has a lot to wave his hands and point about.
If you pay close attention to all the different video of this band since their inception, you will see Andy playing the instruments. However, there are select times when I think he doesn't actually play and parts. He is the man though. Regardless of one's musical talent, if Matrin were my best friend, I would have been in the band also. Andy probably has the most valuable pair of pointer fingers in the business.
yeah... that's true... fletch kept and keeps them together... also he takes care of the business things in the background... and he's actually not pretending to play... he plays some of the bass-lines and pads and triggers some samples and things like that...
