Release Single ‘Barrel Of A Gun’ 3|2|1997 #depechemode

The song was the 1st single from the album ‘Ultra’ and came after some difficult times for the band and its members. Musician Alan Wilder  [Recoil] left the band in 1995, lead singer Dave Gahan nearly died of drugs addiction. Martin Gore had a string of seizures as well as battling alcoholism. Andy Fletcher was suffering from depression. In mid-1996, Gore tried to get Gahan and Fletcher interested in recording new Depeche Mode material by writing a few songs and seeing if anybody was interested in continuing after that. The band came back together, except now as a trio for the 1st time since 1982’s A Broken Frame. The music video for “Barrel of a Gun” is directed by Anton Corbijn. It features Gahan with long hair singing with his eyes closed, with eyeballs drawn on his eyelids to make it seem like they are open. The video was shot in Morocco.

DAVE GAHAN // Depeche Mode - Halo

Been seeing people saying "Rose got her own Doctor, Donna got her own Doctor, Martha must be pissed" and I get it, but also...Martha's arc over her season was her realizing that she *didn't* need the Doctor. She was the one who was able to move on, who could say "Come visit sometime, but also don't let the door hit your ass on the way out." And I think that's important to remember.

transcript under the cut:

What do you think of the feminist arguments about pornography? Richey: "You can understand both sides. Catherine McKinnon said that anybody who looks at say page 3 of 'The Sun', is as guilty as a man who commits a very violent crime against a woman. Well, obviously that's not true, but I understand why there needs to be that strain of thought, why she and Andrea Dworkin are very necessary. On the other extreme, Feminists Against Censorship say that the question of banning page 3 is not worth debating in the Houses of Parliament. People walk past a single mother with three children struggling to get on a public transport system which is falling apart and that's the norm, that's accepted. Feminists Against Censorship are saying that's the important stuff to remedy, rather than page 3." They also say that there's no point in changing page 3, you have to change the whole of 'The Sun'. Richey: "It's that thing of, Does image shape reality and women's condition? Or is it the other way around? It's a hard question. It's the most confusing thing about Andrea Dworkin. I've never been able to work it out and I've thought about her a lot. I've got absolutely no idea what is the right answer." Aren't image and reality intertwined? Richey: "Yes, I think they are really. But with this sort of topic people want you to be black and white. People's reactions to Andrea Dworkin are interesting. If you put her book 'Mercy' in reference to Bret Easton Ellis' 'American Psycho'- the plots are very similar, except they're from two different perspectives, but the violence is the same. And yet 'American Psycho' is completely reviled in literary circles. I like Bret Easton Ellis and I like Andrea Dworkin."
