OT: Depeche Mode U.S. Tour

Yeah, Al J. once called DM ‘Ministry’s evil twin’. Hell, Ministry played a couple of shows w/them back in the early days. That being said, I know there are some Mode fans on this board (other than myself). Depeche is touring in support of their new LP, Playing The Angel, which comes out October 18th. The Bravery and The Raveonettes are slated as openers. Here are the dates:

11/05: Atlanta Gwinnett Center
11/07: Houston, Toyota Center

cool, thanks…when do they go on sale?

An announcement is supposed to come “shortly”. No dates for sale or pre-sale yet. I’d guess within the next 2-3 weeks.

oh, ok

They’re starting their tour in FLORIDA?!
That’s a first if I ever saw one, for a band.

wtf!? Ministry played with DM back in the days!? [shocked]

trying to find a copy of the new album on emule and soulseek.

yeah they played a couple shows opening for them. i know the exact details are in the tour section somewhere.

best i’ve found for DM online lately has been the precious single which just has like 6 really bad dance remixes of that 1 song.

I heard that most of those mixes are unofficial (unless the real single got leaked - last I checked on Pirate Bay, people claimed to have the CDS, but the mixes were homemade). The song itself is pretty cool, sort-of harkens back to A Broken Frame. From the info I’ve read, the rest of the album sounds nothing like Precious.

Ministry played with Mode in late '82 - it is indeed on the Tour page.

Yeh my dad saw Ministry once when they opened for Depeche Mode. Wouldve loved to see that.

same with my parents…they’re huge DM fans and that’s how they were exposed to Ministry! (although my dad’s been a fan since Cold Life)

I heard that most of those mixes are unofficial (unless the real single got leaked - last I checked on Pirate Bay, people claimed to have the CDS, but the mixes were homemade).

i grabbed the promo cds off usenet last week. it should be on piratebay soon if it isn’t already. i’ve stay away from bittorrent now after 3 people i know have gotten letters from their isp’s because of complaints from either the riaa or mpaa. but back on topic here’s a rundown of the mixes:

i too have heard about people getting letters from their ISPs. Except i have heard it happening when downloading “backed up software”. Mainly it was happening on an ISO of XP pro 64-bit. and at first i didn’t believe it (although i didn’t download the ISO myself), but now that i have heard about this happening from sources that in-no-way have any relations - i am a believer now.

threats suck.

another good tune…looking forward to the tour

tix go on sale tomorrow for [#666666]Rosemont, IL[/#666666]
