I Figured Here Of All Places Would Be The Best To Share The Best Photos I’d Gotten During My Depeche

The Survivor

First off I want to thank everyone who has watched this tournament whether from the beginning or if you only found us in round seven, thank you.

Secondly I want to thank @justagremlinoncaffeine who after I realized that I could not do this by myself graciously volunteered to help me, so thank you Gremlin.

The sole survivor of 256 bands, after a surprising comeback, the winner of the hottest 80s band tournament is……

GUNS N’ROSES

This group of five consisting of Axl Rose on vocals, Slash on lead guitar, Izzy Stradlin on rhythm guitar, Duff Mckagan on bass and Steven “popcorn” Adler on drums.

TAROT MODE | all four "cards" together ✌🏻🦊

My shift in music taste like two years ago-

Would have drawn my Sona but I genuinely did not feel like it 😔

Propaganda: “HAVE YOU SEEEEN THEMMMM???? these men never lost their looks as they aged. smoking hot 20 somethings to smoking hot 40 somethings. in their own words, "we was glam" and "we were all stunning". all four had impeccable style choices 99% of the time, from leather jackets and wraps to monochrome to undone blazers and ties to brightly coloured /everything/. Deacon changed his hair style every few years and even in just tshirts and booty shorts, never missed. Roger had a sleazy mullet and sunglasses for what felt like forever, hot Persian dad, did not miss. Brian forgot how to fully button shirts. bell bottoms. same hair for 50 years. no misses. even after Freddie got sick and started wearing makeup and had to grow a beard to cover up, MAN NEVER FUCKIN MISSED. he was beautiful to the day he died. and thats not even touching on the leather daddy look from the early 80s.king shit. we love wrinkles and laugh lines in this gd house. if they don't sweep I’m blowing this whole website up we was glam”

“a few years back i was obsessed with these guys and i would find it hard to not have a crush on all of them. in the 80s especially Brian was GORGEOUS.. BEAUTIFUL”

Music for the Masses (1987)

Propaganda: The music. The LOOKS. The voice. (The sexual tension?) And they’re still going strong. My colleague saw them in the UK when they were only starting out and said they were so nervous. I find the juxtaposition of the confidence of their sound (not to mention the black leather) and that anecdote really endearing.

idk how much this counts as propaganda but I feel like it's very important to acknowledge that Depeche Mode specifically makes kinky synth for bisexual sluts. Like that's it, that's the band. They even managed to make their cover of "(Get Your Kicks On) Route 66" sound like it's about selling ass on the interstate. Slutty legends.

Visual propaganda for Queen:

Visual propaganda for Depeche Mode:

Me core edit but I can’t edit and basically gave up halfway through

This song and entire album are just summer in a physical form to me

Depeche Mode - Behind The Wheel - Music for the Masses (1987)

wore my thigh high boots on a walk today and we had to take a path through some long grass and while everyone else was rolling their pants into their socks and putting on jackets to protect themselves from ticks i was standing there smug as hell in my thigh high leather boots.

I play the same 25 songs everyday and them mfs hit every time
