Fad Gadget Trailer - by frank tovey 2

Synthersizer Says:

Feb 27, 2007 - yeah Fad was better than dM thats why he had to support them in 2001. Fad's music was no when near as good as dM's music. Mostly if not all apart from "whats you name" songs by dM are good. Just the track "Stripped" would be hard to beat with any song fad wrote. Gore is a mastermind with elecronic music. Thats why dM sound so good. So stop kidding yourselves. Anyway, RIP Fad, but you could'nt out do the big guns.

Feb 27, 2007 - And im glad Vince clarke left... It did sort of look bad for the other dM band members after they hit the big time, but it was a blessing in discuise because if he had not of left, dM would of sounded like an abba/erasure dancy stylee act but with a better vocalist.

Mar 7, 2007 - with your retarded logic i'm sure you're correct. let's be realistic here. depeche mode is kiddie-pop music compared to tovey. christina aguilera also sells out bigger stadiums. i guess she's better than dm, idiot? the only reason depeche mode is even known is because of daniel miller. d.m. were so great and powerfull that they had to open for tovey. funny stuff.

peace0ff Says:

Mar 7, 2007 - fad gadget packed large clubs whereever he played. not bad for a non-mtv/underground electronic act. d.m. being an mtv act btw. gore hasn't made a decent tune since eons ago. new dm is piss poor as well.

HeatherDuke Says:

Mar 7, 2007 - Clearly you have a small penis. No one gives a flying fuck about shitty ass sissies like vince, martin gore, etc. Martin was always a big queer ball sniffer back then. No one cares about Dm in this thread either, LOSER. Frank was a man. Martin and vince are little fairies.

Jun 15, 2007 - Might we simply honor the work of the great Fad Gadget without resorting to bickering about Fad versus DM. I've loved both for over 20 years. I do prefer pre-Violator Mode, however. Am I the only one who likes Frank Tovey & the Pyros and the "Tyranny" album as well as the Fad stuff? Fad's passing made me so sad for I hoped a revival in his career would precipitate greater recognition of how gifted Frank really was.

peace0ff Says:

Jun 16, 2007 - i'm only seeing depeche mode kook-fans bashing the guy. people are too stupid to know who came before whom and who influenced whom. without fad gadget there would be no daniel miller, no mute and no d.m.

SweetSweetWaldo Says:

Jun 17, 2007 - As you know, Fad Gadget was the second artist Miller released on Mute, the first being himself as The Normal. While Fad was dark, tweaked-out, and sardonic, DM was light, fluffy, and fun--perhaps the realization of what Miller was trying to achieve with Silicon Teens.

SweetSweetWaldo Says:

Jun 17, 2007 - Via E.Neubauten's influence, Martin Gore pioneered the use of electroacustic methods in pop music, which most people don't understand. However, after "Music for the Masses" DM lost the experimental edge.//I do believe FT/Pyros would have met more success with better marketing.

peace0ff Says:

Jun 17, 2007 - without tovey, mute and daniel take a different path, period. and you may not know this but franky actually helped daniel on tvod. it's not listed though. only a few people know this. fad was more than just dark, tweaked-out and sardonic. that's actually an insult. you strike me as a bit of a philistine.

peace0ff Says:

Jun 17, 2007 - tovey was doing that before gore. didn't you know that? he was good friends with blixa bargeld.

peace0ff Says:

Jun 17, 2007 - nevermind, you're an obsequious chimp. i'm not going to argue with some pugilistic uninformed ape.

SweetSweetWaldo Says:

Jun 18, 2007 - Somebody ought to strike you--over the head! Whatever I say about Frank Tovey is intended as a compliment. I mean, are you such an asshole you can't even be nice to somebody who agrees with you?

Jun 28, 2007 - peace0ff AKA yourgayassdrinkspiss Gotcha No 69 sorry mate For all those people you insulted on youtube with your nasty shit like "NIGGER" and " hope your mum gets cancer " and " you got aids " you deserve all the shit i could possibly pour on you ! What's so amazing is your quite happy to call black people niggers one minute and then on another channel say how fond you are of electronic music. Your such a cretin, i mean, at your age OVER 40 its embarressing

Jul 28, 2007 - peace0ff - your comments on this video are a fraudulent mask of the bigoted racist hatred you openly urinate onto other YT videos. You are a middle aged blathering chunk of expectorated primate bile wallowing in your dead mum's vaginal cheese. This also goes for your alter-ego neo80s and your other personalities.

icemachine79 Says:

Aug 9, 2007 - The two bands are so different musically that arguing about who is better is pointless. You might as well rekindle the old Smiths versus DM fued, it was equally pointless.

LesDEDS Says:

Aug 17, 2007 - fad gadget = the shit man!

AlphaVinlander Says:

Dec 8, 2007 - ...When did Africans start manufacturing synths?

jeannec1 Says:

Feb 22, 2008 - I see a lot of ignorant and illiterate fools bickering here. Just so everyone knows, Depeche Mode can be better than Fad Gadget based on someone's TASTES, and vice versa. Jesus, you're all so damn stupid. This is the kind of foolishness that makes youtube (no, the internet) not the enjoyable thing that it should be.

manifestomode Says:

Apr 4, 2008 - Depeche liked Kraft work and were influenced much much more by them. I bet they only liked Lady shave. To me that is the only real synth pop song that grabs you. I haven't herd much of him but as far as all the other 10 or 15 tracks Ive herd the other stuff is not even syth pop its more like pop punk or something to me. (714) 564-6000

andhumanremains Says:

Apr 8, 2008 - STOP BICKERING. Some people will like Fad more than DM. Some people will like DM more than Fad. Personally, I don't compare them because they're different bands. I agree with the person who said to just honor the great Frank Tovey for the absolutely fantastic music he made and for being an all-around good guy.

wasp09 Says:

Jun 7, 2008 - dm was electronic breakthrough & fad was alternative tronic two different sounds two different bands, i was there, comparison over

CurtisTuch Says:

Oct 15, 2008 - Daniel Miller, founder of Mute, produced his own project The Normal in '78 & apart from, Fad was the 1st signing to Mute in '79 & DM in '81. Dan knew a bit more on synth programming than they & is what makes for the similar sound that they all have. It's when FG & DM were more established did they start moving away from the same dialed in sounds created by Dan. Compare Ricky's Hand/Lady Shave to Photograhic/Tora,Tora,Tora & inc. Warm Leatherette & you'll see. Daniel was the producer. Get it?
