There are a couple of new additions to the Memorabilia section! One is a generic T-shirt from the Paper Monsters Tour and the other is a "Girls Gahan Wild" T-shirt that used to be given out by Slickmode (also from the Paper Monsters era).
Back to normal

Never fear- the site is now back to normal! While it was fun to celebrate Alan Wilder for a day, this site's main focus is and always shall be Dave Gahan! I hope that was at least entertaining for everyone.
New site focus
April 01, 2022
Things look quite different on this site if you've noticed. So, I am on a trial period where I am going to start shifting the focus of this site to Alan Wilder, former keyboardist for Depeche Mode. Why am I doing this, you ask? Well, here I hope to give you the full story. Anyway, this is something that has been on my mind for a long time, but I haven't really had the time to spend developing it, thus I decided to just start with baby steps. Therefore, I am keeping the same domain name for now until I get a better feel for how this will work out and...who knows? I might like it so much that I may change this website to www.alanwilderdevotion.com! Stay tuned for more in the coming days...

New Dave collaboration released
February 25, 2022
"Does That Hurt?", a collaboration between Dave and London-based singer/songwriter, OLI, has been released! Check out the song below:
There is also a new review page for the song here. I haven't seen any official lyrics posted for the song yet, so I had to transcribe them from what I heard. I apologize if there are mistakes in them; I will surely fix them in the coming days!
New magazine articles

I have posted 2 new magazine articles in the Print Articles section.
