Didn’t pause this video (just felt wrong as I was really just enjoying and taking everything in) so unfortunately my video kept getting blocked 😅 I had to dim the video a little so it’s a little darker to be able to post! Sorry about that, but I hope you all enjoy it! I’ll pause in the future or is you all don’t mind have overlays for more DM reactions ♥️

I am a metalhead through and through, but I love Depeche Mode. They have so many great songs. Enjoy the journey.

Nothing compares to the feeling of hearing them perform this song live. It's an almost religious experience.

Dave is such an amazing lead man. Even when he was battling decades of heroin addiction you could tell that the stage was where he felt at peace and the band and fans were his comfort. So glad he was able to overcome his demons. R.I.P fletch ❤

Depeche Mode were titans in the 80s and beginning 90s, and they always had a huge fanatic fanbase. They are legends

Depeche mode… another awesome English band. Enjoy the silence is an all time classic alongside personal Jesus.

Oh Aileen! You make me so happy. DM is the soundtrack of my life. I'm a fan since 1989. 1993 I went to the first concert...and I was blown away. I daught by myself "unfortunately, if I will ever have a child, this will never see them live in concert!" What can I say? It's 2023, my son is 23 y.o. and we will go to DM next month...again! We saw them together 4 times since 2013. They still fill stadiums in minutes. One of them is missing very much. R.i.p. "Fletch". Thank you Aileen. If you want to hear the background-angle, choose "Home", "One caress " and "a question of lust"❤

I'm a metal head through and through, but I fucking love Depeche Mode! You nailed the feeling that you get when seeing them live. They create a moment for over 2 hours. I'm flying from Seattle to Paris to see them in a couple of months, and I can't be more excited.

I'm saying it again. Personal Jesus by Depeche Mode is a must

RIP Fletch. Enjoy The Silence is my favourite song on the Violator album, and I first heard it in the mid 90's around the time I split with my then girlfriend. The lyrics are still poignant three decades later "all I ever wanted, all I ever needed is here in my arms"

As an introvert this song is one of my favorites, the lyrics are so relevant to me, "words, like violence, break the silence, come crashing in, into my little world. Painful to me, pierce right through me, can't you understand, oh my little girl." We introverts spend a lot of time in our own little worlds inside our heads and when someone starts talking to us, sometimes words are like violence. Also, Depeche Mode are a legendary group, with many iconic songs. Depeche Mode headlined the electronic movement of the '80s, then became superstars in the '90s with their mix of synths and guitars. So many fantastic songs. They are still going strong, playing to over three million people on their latest world tour.

Having lived through the music of the 70s and 80s we had the best music in the world 🇬🇧 😊

DM live is absolutely electric and has some of the most dedicated fans ever. They're a must-see.

Depeche Mode concerts are one of my happiest places. The joy is infectious and every person there is full of love and excitement. It is electric because we are really like a family. Saw them this month and can't wait to see them again in November! ETA it broke my heart not to see Fletcher and his patented over head clap up there. RIP Fletch

Watching you happily discover this music and reacting so joyfully to it is wonderful to see, Ms. Aileen! I love your reaction channel!

"NEVER LET ME DOWN AGAIN" Depeche Mode at their absolute finest 🤗

I was 17 when they released this song. And even though metal is my 1st love, DM holds a special place in my heart. Whenever I hear them they take me back to happy places and the memories become very visable. It's an art, not just another perfomence and you felt it.

Cool thing is Chester Bennington was a huge Depeche Mode fan.

Depeche Mode (French for "fast fashion") was formed in 1980 as a British synth pop group w/ Dave Gahan (lead vocals), Martin L. Gore (guitar/ keys), Vince Clarke (keys) and Andrew 'Fletch' Fletcher (samples/ keys)... They had an early pop hit in 1981 - "Just can't get enough"... Vince Clarke soon left and was replaced by Alan Wilder (keys/ drums) and Depeche Mode made a name for themselves w/ a string of studio albums which were written mostly by Martin Gore ... By 1986, Depeche Mode was developing a more 'gothic' sound and dark delivery w/ the albums 'Black celebration' (1986) and 'Music for the masses' (1987) and grew even more popular as a result... They headlined the Rose Bowl stadium in California on that tour in 1988. 'Violator' (1990) was the record that pushed Depeche Mode into superstar status, scoring huge singles - 'Personal Jesus'... 'Enjoy the silence'... 'Policy of truth'... and sold 3x platinum in the US (3 million copies). However, Depeche Mode became dysfunctional w/ fame & fortune, and Dave Gahan (lead vocals) also became hooked on heroin as the band released 'Songs of faith and devotion' (1993) and toured into 1994... Alan Wilder would leave the band and was never replaced; Depeche Mode would play concert w/ various hired musicians. They returned in 1997 w/ the album 'Ultra'... but Dave Gahan was still recovering from his addictions... Depeche Mode did not tour until 1998 after Gahan was in better shape. Gore, Gahan and Fletcher carried on recording and touring for the next 2 decades. In 2022, Andrew Fletcher died unexpectedly at age 60... Depeche Mode have announced that they would honor him w/ a new album 'Memento Mori' in 2023 and a tour to follow.

Over the Decades I've been to so many concerts from Depeche Mode. First one was in 1983 when they were playing in front of just a few hundred people. Since then It has become like an religious experience. The energie given back and fourth. The are these moments like this show you just reacted to or the show in Paris where they created some moments to by celebrating "Never let me down again" or "Freelove". Both very worthy of a reaction of yours. I just loved this one today. Keep it up!

You are so right Martin and Dave's voice are amazing they have always had tremendous harmony. Depeche Mode is just an amazing legendary band

Great performance by a legendary band, but what i liked the most was seeing Aileen being happy and smiling.

I've seen Depeche Mode 5 times in concert, and each time was an incredible experience sharing in the love of their music with everyone. Absolutely incredible in person and they make it so interactive with the audience . A must see, and they return to L.A this year!!!!🙌🙌🙌 concert number 6, here I come!

It took me a little bit to get into these guys when i first heard them back in the late 80s. Now, i consider them to be one of the best on the planet. This video proves why.

I have seen Depeche Mode twice, and both shows were this amazing. They sounds amazing, and Dave Gahan has the moves that makes the ladies scream.

The most amazing group ever that I can never explain what genre they belong in. They stand alone! Enjoy the Silence everyone.

Dave was an animal on stage, an incredible frontman ......

There are no new bands like Depeche Mode anymore. Not even one.

If you're feeling it this much just watching their live performance, imagine actually being there. Ive seen them multiple times and I cried my eyes out at every single show. You feel it through and through 🖤

saw them perform this at "rock am ring" here in germany many years ago in 2006. over 80.000 people singing along was quite an experience.

So cool Aileen! Down the rabbit hole you go!

Personal Jesus official video is one of their best ones❤

Depeche Mode forever 🖤🖤

The album this song is from "Violator"....is insanely good every track is a gem x 😊

Love Depeche mode, I can remember going to see them many years ago when they first started out. Another band that will definitely get you dancing in your chair are the Swedish classically trained trio DIRTY LOOPS, They are JONAH NILSSON singer/ keyboard player with a great funky Michael Jackson/ Stevie wonder style voice, HENRIK LINDER, one of today's great bass players, and on drums the very underrated AARON MELLERGARD.I call their music "HAPPY FEEL GOOD MUSIC" 😊I first came across singer JONAH NILSSON in a collaboration video with my favourite guitarist STEVE VAI in a video called JONAH NILSSON-DIAMOND RING, a cameo guitar solo from Steve and also a cameo appearance from dirty loops manager and mentor the old legend QUINCY JONES, Quincy doing some unusual move's at the end of the video.(If anyone out there is not familiar with STEVE VAI steve was vote one of the top 10 guitar player's of all time, a great video to see steve in action at his usual greatness STEVE VAI INCREDIBLE GUITAR PERFORMANCE HD video. From the crossroads guitar festival.). DIRTY LOOPS do an UNBELIEVABLE version of Michael Jackson's THRILLER a collaboration with guitar player CORY WONG and his musicians, dirty loops recorded their part in Stockholm Sweden and Cory wong and his great horn section recorded their part in Minneapolis. once you've watched one dirty loops video you've will have to watch another and another. Another 2 great tunes from the Cory wong sessions are FOLLOW THE LIGHT ,and the unbelievable instrumental' TURBO' , GUARANTEED to get you up dancing, Can't wait to see your smile reacting to these amazing musicians. Then you've got to watch DIRTY LOOPS incredible studio video's starting with one of dirty loops fans favorite songs with a great title WORK SHIT OUT, great bass and drums from HENRIK LINDER and AARON MELLERGARD. Also have a look at the funny credits at the end of this song. Then have a look at WORLD ON FIRE, ROCK YOU, HIT ME, then the 8 minute long classic NEXT TO YOU, Jonah Nilsson's vocals with a hint of gospel will take you all the way to church and back, drummer Aaron Mellergard singing harmonies in the video A beautiful ballad you might have a few tears is the beautiful BREAKDOWN great vocals again from jonah Nilsson. Another 3 instrumentals with strange titles are SONGS FOR LOVERS COFFEE BREAK IS OVER, SONGS FOR LOVERS BITTEN BY THE KITTEN, and SONGS FOR LOVERS OLD ARMANDO HAD A FARM, again funny credits at the end of old Armando had a farm with pigs, sheep cows ect. remember all the songs the studio video's not live ones, and to finish off Jonah Nilsson sang Michael Jackson's BILLY JEAN for his mentor QUINCY JONES in PARIS, Quincy sitting at the side of the stage welcoming the musicians to the stage . Two bass players from way back in the Michael Jackson days RICHARD BONA and MARCUS MILLER. A few suggestions to start your dirty loops journey. best wishes from the north east coast of England.

I saw these guys in concert three times during the course of my childhood. Each time, I came out of it entranced, sweaty, spent, satisfied, half deaf, and with no voice. Legends.

Cool something very different. Even though I didn't like Depeche Mode back then but do now,this was a very good choice.👍 They are playing here in Vancouver this year. Anyone ever know about Dave Gahan the frontman's battle with heroin during Depeche Mode's stardom? Very sad and crazy time for him,glad he made it through.

Huge fan since the first song on the first album (when Vince Clark was with them), and everything since. They were a major influence on bringing electronic and 'found' recorded (sampled) sounds to music. Later incorporated more rock flavor. Always awesome, seen them live many, many times, and yes, it is like a religious experience!

their 101 live performance of Never Let me Down Again is pure energy

Truly enjoyed this reaction. Glad that you notice the love the band has for the audience and the music that made them be able to do this. Beautiful energy is recognized by beautiful people with said energy.

Depeche Mode has literally been my favorite band since I was a young kid. I grew up hearing their music because of people in my family & I have been a fan ever since. They put on phenomenal live shows & their music is the best. Every album they've done, I've absolutely loved. Also, Martin Gore, the guy that was doing the backing/harmonizing vocals, actually does lead vocals on some of their songs, too. Some of my favorites that he sings are "A Question Of Lust", "Somebody", "I Want You Now" & "Home". He does others, but if you ever want to react to some he does vocals on, those are good ones to check out. I'd love to see more DM reactions from you, I think you'll love them so much the more you listen to them!

They've been my favorite band for 25 years. Have seen them a dozen times live. Always amazing.

Love your reaction to DM! I've been feeling the same thing since the 80s. They have that effect on people. Just saw them in April and they are still as powerful and emotional as ever.

I'm fine with you playing it all the way through without pausing great reaction aileen hope you are having a great day

I saw them two days ago in Berlin and it was again epic. They are absolute a live Band and they fascinated Millions of people. When 75.000 people singing the songs…… I’ts gorgeous ❤❤❤

DM is one of the greatest live bands ever. such commanding stage presence. they are touring in the US this fall, can't wait! they have so many great live performances, also check out never let me down again, world in my eyes, walking in my shoes.

Perhaps the best reaction video I've ever seen. Your joy was so infectious ♡ × ∞

SO fun watchin you groove to DM here Aileen! I am a hard core old metal head, but was young man in early 80’s and loved DM and I still do! More!!

Depeche Mode is the soundtrack of my life! And I think you found out why! Please do more... esp. Never let me down LIVE... this is pure insanity!

DM is a English synth band there peak was probably 87-97. There biggest hits are "Personal Jesus, Enjoy The Silence People Are People. The song Everything Counts from there 101 tour the whole crowd sings along as well. I really enjoy "Behind The Wheel" from there 101 tour or Personal Jesus from there Devotional tour both songs are really loud and powerful

Loved this review it really brightened my day 😊

I've never enjoyed a reaction as much as watching your joy over this performance. Thank you @AileenSenpai

Yeah being at a Depeche Mode concert is a whole experience. Some of the best concerts I´ve ever been too. Dave doesn´t have to sing the choruses anymore. The audience always sings for him. Personal Jesus is wonderful live. Everyone reaches out when he sings "Reach out and touch Faith" It´s glorious!

Depeche mode is not a group, Its a religion. Loved your reaction.♥️ "Never let me down" live in paris - is one of de best live performances ever !❤️

I loved seeing your reaction to this song. Its a song that means a lot to me and seeing you smile all the way through means a lot. Thank You.

I'm in love with this performance too, great reaction !

Aileen is not only a good reactor but also a best dancer,i like it👏👏👏

Depeche Mode are LEGENDS. Saw them live a couple years ago with my mother because it was one of her bucket list bands. Now we're going again this summer because you can never be sure how long a band of that age can still tour. The whole concert is a spectacle and Dave has an insane presence on stage. There's alomst no-one else who can act like he does without it feeling fake, but he makes everything feel natural. Like those spins around... in 99,9999% of Bands that would feel tacky but when he does it it's like "you, how else would you move at that moment".

Love seeing you vibing to the classics 😊

Aileen. YOUR energy is infectious ❤. Depeche Mode are my long life heroes. I met them. I interviewed them. I was running their site for a day. Thanks for being excited.

Honestly, you just relaxing and vibing with this song is exactly how one should go with it and enjoy it. I’m happy just looking at you being happy

I was familiar with them but never really a fan, then some years ago a friend of mine toook me to a concert. It was a transofmrative experience, they are the whole package: absolute top-tier showmanship and musicianship, paired with the irresistible joy and unending love for the music and the audience, you 100% feel how happy they are that you are there, just to dance and have fun toghether:)

Awesome!! Glad you liked the performance. I got to see these guys live many years ago, in my hometown. Ironically I wasn’t a fan yet, and only knew a few songs. But it was that show that spurred my fandom, and I started buying their albums, one after the other. I came to really appreciate their quality of songwriting, lyricism and overall craft. Yet there was a separate experience I had involving this particular song: There was this really cool Goth club I went to a couple times way back when. They had a massive, blasting sound system there. The usual fare was heavy industrial tracks, but sometimes they went old-school, with songs like this. And one night it was this exact tune they blasted so loud. Absolutely everybody got on the dance floor and I just remember being so wonderfully lost in the music.

I've seen Depeche Mode multiple times live going back to the 90's (and as recently as a few weeks ago in Las Vegas) and it is absolutely what you said: an experience. There's nothing like it. Depeche Mode fans really are the best fans in the world. A very diverse group of fans, many of them outsiders who have often felt alone or have gone through a lot in life, together as one, celebrating life. At least half of the people in the crowd would tell you Depeche Mode is their favorite band. It only took you a couple of minutes to figure out why. The new world tour is incredible. They're better than ever. If you see one show this year, go see Depeche. You really will have the best time of your life. I love Depeche Mode. Dave and Martin are two of my favorite people ever. Really enjoyed your reaction! So glad you enjoyed the music and the performance. Go see them in concert...you won't regret it. Cheers.

Creo que aún no estás preparada para escuchar Depeche Mode 😂 en mí adolescencia nos voló la cabeza y hasta el día de hoy a mis 50 años lo sigue haciendo ❤

Hi, thanks for the reaction and praising this legendary band. I am enjoying their music for almost 40 years now and they still deliver quality. DM has influenced so many artists through the years. 'Never let me down again' and 'Blasphomous Rumours' are 2 of many you should see and since you like metal also, maybe check out also the covers from Rammstein (Stripped) and Marilyn Manson (Personal Jesus).

Great reaction! I've seen them a few times, and they've always been one of the best shows ever.

You're just a joy. Always make my day better, even as I continue to struggle. You're doing great stuff! ❤

So awesome that new generations are exposed to Depeche Mode music. Their music is eternal and keeps on living by the fans. We need more DM fans to make this world slightly better

Welcome to the 80s when the best music was produced ;), in my opinion. I don't know your age but it's a decade with loads of music that needs to be re-experienced/discovered by the younger generation of music lovers, who have missed out on the history and experiences of music development. I was born in 1969 and grew up during this musical journey. Hope you continue your journey..... exploring great music. Love from Sweden.

This is my favorite song since I was 11. It has carried me through some of the most beautiful and the most heartwrenching times of my life. What you see from David Gahan during this performance is gratitude. He went through heroin addiction, was clinically dead and brought back, and most recently, lost their friend and bandmate Andrew Fletcher, the "glue" that kept the band together. He and Martin L. Gore (the other bandmate he shouts out at the end) have had a long and rocky history because the latter is so introverted and softspoken that the far more exuberant Dave has had a habit of running roughshod over him. Dave is making a concerted effort to direct the spotlight away from himself. After all, it's Martin who writes the songs. I think it's beautiful.

Love that beautiful smile and that amazing attitude you have. Glad you did a DM review they put on great show. Stay blessed gorgeous!!❤

To anyone who really enjoys music, DM is a must. If you have the opportunity, listen to their live album "101". From start to finish is a complete banger one after the other. For me, personally, the only better band when it comes to synthesiser music is Kraftwerk. If you haven't, please listen to "Everything Counts". It warms my heart seeing you enjoying this band so much. Much love to you, my dear Succubus. Fun fact: would you believe the first synth Martin Gore ( the guitar player) had was built by himself? He bought the magazines with the parts. He said it was way cheaper than buying a new one. How crazy is that?

I listened to this song so many times back in the 90's I broke my cassette player 😁 Thank you for the reaction. 90's were awesome !

Aileen it does my heart good to see you dance and laugh, your Ren reaction just about broke my heart. Stay happy and blessed.

Love your reaction. You are so in tune with the atmosphere. Special. Makes me tear up as well!

Incomparable with the music of these times, at the forefront of sound and melody as always. Depeche Mode never fails

The dancing got u a sub❤. Depeche Mode( and other new wave)..the band the metalheads hated and got hated on for listening. I on the other hand, I loved them both. Grade 10 we had to get British LP imports in order to listen to them. Then grade 12 Personal Jesus hit it big and everyone was listening to them.

Youve been on a roll doing reactions to really good songs 🔥

Absolute banger of a band . Especially love the album Violator. Great reaction as always 👍🤘

Lacuna Coil does a neat cover of this song. They give it a little darker, more nostalgic makeover. It definitely falls in line with their branding. If you don't know them already, Our Truth is a great introduction track with a cool video.

Lacuna Coil (a band you haven't reacted to but should 😊)did a cover for this song. You should check it out and compare.

What a wholesome performance and reaction as well. I dont know why but i teared up a little bit. Daves performance here is so free and innocent and it makes it very lovable and energizing at the same time.

I just saw these guys last Friday at Madison Square Garden. To say it was magical would be an understatement. The place was electric!

The whole album of Violator is excellent.. My favorite is Halo .

Great reaction! If you enjoyed this you should listen to a live performance of Never Let me Down Again :)

I saw them 3 times in concert! Including this tour where you played this version of 'Enjoy the silence'. The last time I brought my husband, he had never seen them live! And now he understood my emotion every time I listen to it! this moment of communion where more than 20,000 people sing together! I cry every time I listen to this song!!

Thanks for covering this Aileen! I've seen DM live on the Exciter Tour and I'm going to see them this December on the 17th! Hearing the records is one thing, but seeing them live is another experience :)

Seeing them live in a month. Thank you for helping me hype it up 🙂

Nice talk...AILEEN---you have the moves...this performance gives me goosebumps everytime...love from England, we are blessed with great 80s bands..

You did a reaction of the gods. Another subscriber

I’m so glad you discovered them, they are among the greatest bands ever and influenced many others like Muse, Coldplay, nine inch nails. They are incredibly respected by their peers. They meant everything to me when I was younger (late 80s to late 90s) then I somewhat moved on. I recently saw them live in Vegas and re-discovered my absolute love for them. Just amazing band and people, and yes I had happy tears too!!❤😂 whenever I see their faces I would just bear hug them

Watching you react to this song put a smile on my face and makes me feel so happy

I've been a huge fan and really enjoyed your reaction and feedback!

Wonderful reaction to a brilliant live video from DM :-)

This is my absolute favorite song ever created. It always makes me happy and in a good mood. It gives me happy tears ever time I hear that first guitar note.

Merry Christmas Gorgeous Aileen

Glad for you that you discovered this. Depeche Mode is a treasure. You have plenty of other great performances to look forward to!

it was such a pleasure, too see you enjoy the video...and they only get better!

Definitely one of your best reactions that I've watched. Really could tell you were enjoying yourself and the experience. I do prefer your happy reactions to your sad ones but either way one can really tell how strongly you relate to the music you are listening to. Well done, keep at it.
