Depeche Mode - Shake the Disease (Demo)

[Sjmashlum]

why do I like this more than the orginal? I know.

[MrChoptastic]

ohhhh man, c'mon - good attempt but this is a fake. Nice try ;-)

[BastiSexMuffin]

@MrChoptastic This is the real thing. Obviously.

[jtswhip]

@BastiSexMuffin That is CLEARLY Gore. Even if it is on Casio.

[Veddel69]

this is the best demo, i´d ever heard of any dm-songs. i love the song in it´s pyhsical release, but this one is a bit better...

[marokokisetter]

are there multiple demos of this? i heard another that seemed more sparse and was in a lower key. this one is great.

[TheSxysdy]

Beautiful lyrics

[djmusicjac]

new wave funk, total funky

[EnjoyTheSurface]

there are some demos on the sound of universe deluxe set, always nice to see a song evolve from demo to proper album song.... :)

[martymarts67]

[TheUnknownVisiter]

[YoYoSlowmo]

nitram taht evol!!!!!!eciov lufituaeb!!!

[calamityash80]

You are amazing for finding this and uploading it to youtube. THANK YOU!

[jasonalara]

love it...have faith

[44mikachu]

this is great! how did you get this?! i love the demos of anything they do <3 *faints*

[Qtipword]

@bastisexmuffin this song was on catching up with DM before black celebration---cool demo though ----

[BastiSexMuffin]

@Qtipword I knew that, I wrote it in the description: "Amazing song, too bad it didn't make it on Black Celebration." It was made during the BC recording sessions but they decided to release it earlier to promote the new compilation.

[Valyria]

This is the most adorable thing I have EVER heard.

[qwq45]

i prefer the demos,before their polished.more raw and emotional, not only here but for all demos in general.IM PRIVELAGED TO HAVE BEEN IN THE 80S FOR MY FORMATIVE YEARS,GO 80S.

[YoYoSlowmo]

@qwq45 LUCKY! :(

[ptitpraince]

I fuc*ing love it!

[DianaDiazSinger]

It's very clearly Martin who had the ideas for the chords, lyrics, melodies, and countermelodies. If it had been just him doing this as a solo artist, it would have been good, but with the others it became great.

[biospark64]

Such a beautiful bell synth during the chorus... I love the more meloncholy feeling this has compared to the mastered version...

[taytrong]

I'm glad to have listened to this in this lifetime. And when 3010 comes, my soul is going to listen to this again...

[turbosino]

no cabe duda de que Alan arregalba las canciones de martin como los mismisimos dioses para que terminaran sonando impresionantes

[tikzero]

I love this refrain!

[dralivo]

Siempre me he preguntado que habria sido de DM sin Alan en los teclados... so sad :( ..... long life to Alan Wilder!!!!

[KINOLOCO1]

You take Depeche mode,U2,The SMiths ,The Cure & INXS away from the 80's and there isn't shit.

[DianaDiazSinger]

@KINOLOCO1 Add to that Echo & the Bunnymen, OMD, New Order, Joy Division and you might have me agreeing. There are certainly "bests" in the class, but there were alot of good ones.

[SHARDZ444]

WOW!!! this sounds like their 1st album!

[Santoben]

Really great stuff.

[juergenkiefer]

...

[Eddyqpr]

i love Al Gore voice!!

[megaaton]

Esta demo es guapa, sonidos básicos de fábrica del sinte, supongo que para después, pasarle la cinta a ALAN y que deje el tema como lo conocemos.

[scott56239]

Thanks for posting this, I've never heard this version before and I'm been listening to DM since 1987.

[piinus]

@scott56239

Same here except I listen to them since 83'. Well, yeah, it's obvious they can't put this on their album. And it sound just the same toward the end. It's just that he did it all by himself.

[biospark64]

It's almost a completly different element from the released version, and it's AMAZING!

I've noticed the intro is completely changed, the drums have different pattern, the snare drum isn't as... "Powerful." I don't quite hear a kick drum... The "Organ," I guess, isn't as quite reverbed, and a little higher pitched. The song overall is calmer. I must say, this is probably my favorite demo!

[piinus]

@biospark64

Well, that's because he did it in a simple keyboard in his bedroom ( or where every he did it ) instead of a synthesizer in a studio. If I had his keyboard, I've would've done the same and it would sound just like that.

[biospark64]

Yeah, I know. I think he had a home studio or something, and that's where he recorded it... If I'm not mistaken, the keyboard should be a Yamaha DX 7 (Note the bell sound you hear in the chorus, that kind of gives it away).

[piinus]

lol...aw, that's cool. Mine's a cheap ass Yamaha PortaSound PSS-130. Though I couldn't say cheap ass cause it's my sister's that I stole. lol....( She's gonna kill me while reading this. XD )

[biospark64]

Hehe... I got a little Microkorg, though I'm sure a DX7 would beat it into the dirt. XD

[christvswarhol]

Awwh this is somehow this is really cute.....

[WUTALAnna]

i must confess i really love this one from martin gore...

although i thought the song is as its best in the main version from the album...

but this is genuine too ;))))

[RPattzFanNJ]

I'm getting the LiveHereNow cd for the Ft. Lauderdale TOTU concert to hear Martin sing Shake the Disease. And also it was a rocking show!

[RPattzFanNJ]

I love Martin's voice singing STD. Martin singing this live during the Tour of the Universe was such an exciting suprise and an awe inspiring experience. Thanks for posting my comfort song.

[gallagherandres]

gore is fucking amazing

[DianaDiazSinger]

@gallagherandres So true. People, these demos were never meant to be heard by anyone but the band who then learned their parts, went out and found sounds and orchestrated it into something bigger with a producer. . Then they record it "for real" Then it's mixed. Martin was probably using a 4 track at home.

[iotemoro]

I love Martin voice *____*

[depechegirl101]

:D i knew tht little part was in it! no one believed me! this is great as it was! =o

[differentcoloredsox]

dave's voice is SUCH a perfect compliment to martin's, but damn this is nice as-is!
