Мы за конструктивную критику!

Предлагаю после каждого своего оценочного мнения писать либо "по моему мнению", либо "IMHO" - так будет понятно, что вы выражаете своего личное отношение и не претендуете на навязывание его другим.

Сразу видно, от чего чел прётся

что за бред?
ну понятно же и так, что человек высказывает СВОЁ мнение, а не чужое, зачем имху то писать ещё? Специально для тупых что ли? Или для тех, кто захочет бычить на твой пост? Так ему хоть пять имх поставь, если он захочет пободаться, он всё равно это сделает. "Аааа, тебе не нравится сольник Гэхэна, ты думаешь, ты крутой, нет, я щас покажу тебе, кто здесь крутой..."
Хоть что придумывайте, люди будут общаться так, как им удобно... Никакие правила не смогут с этим ничего поделать... Алик как матерился, так и будет материться, ИМХУ ставить человек не будет, если он сам этого не захочет...

Про то, что я не по теме тут пишу, надеюсь, мне говорить сейчас не станут, я специально процитировала, чтоб понятно было - я не флужу, я высказываюсь по поводу предыдущего топика...
А то прям детсад, начинают сразу как котёнка в лужицу носом тыкать...

Кто уже приобрёл SACD+DVD - расскажите, плиз, о яйцах...

Кто уже приобрёл SACD+DVD - расскажите, плиз, о яйцах...

А яички вскрылись? Как их обнаружить?

Ну да... На одном из сайтов была такая информация...
Напиши плиз - очень интересно - ЧТО там!..

Понятно... ССР эгейн (Сам Себе Режиссёр)... "Я не умею, писать стихов..." (с)

А из какой студии? Той, что на видео с его сайта, или той, на которой Studio Sessions записаны?

А как эти трэки были оцифрованы в mp3 - прогой или с линейки? Я почему спрашиваю - чё-то шумит, как с линейки
Но всё равно спасибо.

DVD мне понравился, очень красивые аккустические сессии, и визуально и поет там Давид красиво - старается

Gahan turns the hourglass

Dave Gahan is practically like born again when MetroXpress meets the 45 year old Depeche Mode frontman and family man in London to a talk about his second solo record.

Dave Gahan starts the interview in the bathroom. Even a Personal Jesus has to go when he has to go.

So while MetroXpress' delegate is sitting impatiently in the flowered sofa waiting to meet the gloomy, charismatic frontman in one of the biggest alternative bands - even today more than 25 years after the debuthit 'Just Can't Get Enough' - Gahan flushes, snuffles a bit and washes his hands behind the hotel bathroom door.

When he finally shows up, at first he looks like his intense mediaimage: not so tall, slim and dressed in black.

But as soon as he opens his mouth, shows the charming, sharp canine teeth and starts talking, it becomes clear: Something is changed. The man who has been living the rock myth as much as anyone - and almost died of it in the mid 1990's - is well into the process of flushing out his inner demons. And the work with his second soloalbum 'Hourglass' has been an important flush.

"This time it wasn't a battle being both in Depeche Mode and doing my own thing. There are spices enough for both. To write my own songs is a new beginning which gives me enthusiasm musically and fills me with hopes about what Depeche Mode can be in the future. My new album was a very unforced experience where we just met for three weeks and then the album almost created itself. Probably because my studio in New York is a small magical place, where all the pressure of high expectations disappear," says Dave Gahan on harmonious working-class english about his retrieved enthusiasm with music.

Boring 'Exciter'
An enthusiasm the frontman had a more than difficult time finding in the work with Depeche Mode for years untill the critically acclaimed 'Playing the Angel' from 2005.

"There were some years in Depeche Mode where it was difficult for me. It didn't seem exciting to make music anymore. Not because we did things differently, and actually that might have been the problem. Depeche Mode had bevome like working in an office. Looking at the same people, having the same arguments."

Dave Gahan suddenly interrupts his flow of talk for moment with an ironic sketch about bandmembers sitting silently and cranky in each corner refusing to talk to each other.

"It sounds funny now but we had to shatter the way we worked together. Eventually we had become a family and we are like brothers together. You love them but sometimes you just want to say: shut the **** up. Even that we couldn't say to each other. It is really ironic that the album is called 'Exciter' cause it was far from exciting to make. But on 'Playing the Angel' it was good to see each other again" explains Dave Gahan about the band's last big crisis.

The cork of the bottle of songs
The big differende between the two records was that the Depeche Mode frontman - who always had sung Gore's songs with an impressive level of identification - finally stood by his own frustated ambitions, came out as a songwriter and released the solo album 'Paper Monsters' in 2003.

"The songs have been inside of me for a very long time, but I had put a cork in it so that they couldn't get out. The drugs and the booze blocked everything for a long time. But in the past couple of years the cat has really come out of the bag and I don't want to shove it back in.

The reactions from fans, the record company and the band on my first solo record made me feel guilty about doing something outside of the Depeche Mode-family. But now they have to learn to deal with it. And actually I feel that the co-operation with Martin has become better because I came back to the band and brought some songs with me. I know that Martin really likes my new album and that was really nice to hear. Now I feel like I have finnished my apprenticeship" says Dave Gahan.

The final piece of work in the apprenticeship 'Hourglass' will probably not be put to the test on a big tour though. And that is not because Dave Gahan is going straight into the studio with Depeche Mode, contrary to what persistant rumours have been saying. The rockstar just rather wants to be more of a family man than he has been able to for many years.

"I feel like I have just finnished a tour and spent a lot of time away from the family so now I really enjoy spending time at home. The time with the family has become more valuable to me. I want to be there when my kids need me. So far I have lived a very selfish life, for years I was crawling around in the Hollywood underground on drugs and booze, completely self-absorbed. But now I don't miss that anymore, I want to see my kids grow up and be there when they have to go through similar things" is the final prayer from a reborn Gahan.
