- Thread starter This Charming Bowie
- Start date
"Life 2.0”, a new Depeche Mode song coming later this year, per Martin on the SmartLess podcast.
Because his shows are much more entertaining... Dave is great at entertaining an audience. I cant speak for moz because never seen him live but new order is really boring (the only worth it is Hook).

"Why Don't You Find Out For Yourself?"
Like U2, DM did the work. They toured endlessly and repetitively, and didn't flake out cancelling tours. For example, Moz cancelled a lot of shows or didn't tour (especially in the US), and New Order abdicated touring in the 90's, playing just 17 shows between 1989 and 2001.
In the same period, U2 and DM toured the US at stadium and arena level 4 times. And that's why DM play stadiums. They kept the momentum going. If you got into New Order in 1989 aged 16 but just missed them - unless you saw one of their 9 arena shows in the 1993 - you likely didn't get a chance to really see them in the US until you were 32 in 2005.
The quality of the shows are totally different... As I said before, Dave IS an entertainer, reminds me a little bit of Robbie Williams in that sense.
But Sumner can't entertain even the pensioners his age that go to his concerts. It also doesn't help when you insult your audience or go on stage totally drunk/high like the 81 Glastonbury festival. If you watch the footage on YT there was a lot of people saying they'd ask for their money back if there.

Hello, anyone know what became of the new single DM said they were going to release last year called Life 2.0?
Probably will come out on a single or reissue or EP or something this year. Just guessing though.
It's only five remixes of People Are Good, so I wouldn't call that even a proper EP. It's just a bunch of remixes of variable quality. But otherwise I agree, Memento Mori is an album I didn't expect DM to be capable of making any more. Definitely their best since Playing the Angel and arguably since Ultra.
