There is such a thing as loving a band too much

This week we saw The Posters Came From The Walls,
a new documentary film about Depeche Mode fans
around the world. It's both touching and funny.
Here's nine things you should know about
Depeche Mode.

1. Dave Gahan's birthday falls on 9th May,
Russia's National Day. In St Peterburg, Mode
fans celebrate it as "Dave Day" every year.

2. When he overdosed in 1996, the heroin Dave
Gahan used for the speedball was a pure brand
called Red Rum. He said: "i thought it
referred to the racehorse until someone pointed
out it spells 'murder' backwards."

3. George Michael's favourite Depeche Mode
track is A Question Of Lust.

4. Vince Clarke and Andy Fletcher were in
the 5th Basildon Boys Brigade.

5. The band are from Basildon. An anagram
of Basildon is I So Bland.

6. The first album Martin Gore bought was
Ziggy Stardust.

7. Vince Clarke's real name is Vince Martin.
He changed his name when he realised he would
be in trouble as he was still signing on.

8. When Alan Wilder (who lied about his age at
the audition - he was over 21) joined DM, he
was paid £50 a week.

9. Alison Moyet was in Andy Fletcher's class
at school and "the best fighter in the year".

Go see the film at London Film Festival next Tuesday:

You missed out number 10:
DM are a minor band with an exaggerated view of their own self-importance.........

Karlos The Jackal

You obviously have no taste in music !

Its like The Smiths/Morrissey................'Its Boring' !

What an absolute crock, they are legends and will go down in history as legends, even more influential than McCartney and co !

Listen to the lyrics people, take a minute out and listen to what Mozza is singing, there is no better lyracist than Mr SP Morrissey

I got offered a Queen ticket but unfortunately I'd already arranged to shave my testicles with a blunt razor, dip them in vinegar, smother them in treacle and teabag an angry wasps nest that night
