toscanobarga Posted May 30, 2018 Share Posted May 30, 2018 Saw them last week in Anaheim, I know they don't get a lot of respect from "real" rock fans, but Dave Gahan is as good any frontman in "traditional" rock. Engaging, charismatic, still has the voice, and works a crowd as well as anyone. The band for some time now play with a traditional drums//guitar setup as well as the 2 keyboard players (the 2nd sometimes playing bass) and that place was as loud and rocking as much as it was for Rush or any other "rock" band I've seen in the same venue. Any other love for them in here ? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JohnRogers Posted May 30, 2018 Share Posted May 30, 2018 Not, it is some kind of infusion of modern jazz, pop and elevator Muzak. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
invisible airwave Posted May 31, 2018 Share Posted May 31, 2018 Their late 80s early 90s stuff added rock elements. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

People are People, is that about some dude punching another dude in the face?It just takes a while to travel from your head to ya' fist! DM is an awesome band. I'd probably consider them Techno-Rock I guess. Like Ministry maybe but only good.They have like 40+ classic songs and not many bands can say that. Condemnationnnnnnnn... DriiiiiIIIIIIiiive! EDIT: Oh an Smashing Pumpkins totally ripped off "Barrel of a Gun" with that "Mi Amour" song. Virtually identical verses.

Most of the album is heavy on goth and post punk influences like Cure and Depeche. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stoopid Posted June 1, 2018 Share Posted June 1, 2018 I listened to them a lot when younger, very solid 'pop' band. We're obviously aware that they're much more than their commercial success. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ShowMeDontTell Posted November 29, 2018 Share Posted November 29, 2018 Saw them last year. Wasn't much impressed. Disappointing considering they were a major part of my playlists as a teen. I was a gothy clubber in the day and their back beats made us look great on the dance floor. They're old now and dark, angsty shit doesn't roll well with the over 50 sect. Hang the hat or revamp. Or maybe I just outgrew the darkpop synth... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Presto-digitation Posted November 30, 2018 Share Posted November 30, 2018 Ehhh, tired of definitions. What is rock, what is it not, what is and isn’t “metal” or “prog” etc. I don’t suppose it matters much except do you enjoy them or not? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

custom55 Posted December 1, 2018 Share Posted December 1, 2018 Not a fan but I appreciate their music and own "Music for the Masses". I haven't heard any of their recent releases. My two favorite songs from them. Great for the headphones. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
