	David Gahan - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		David "Dave" Gahan (born May 9, 1962 in Epping, Essex, England) is the baritone lead-singer for English synth pop stalwarts, Depeche Mode.
		Gahan compensated for the loss of his father by becoming something of a "real wide boy with a chip on my shoulder, a real yob".
		Gahan agreed, and shortly thereafter the band was renamed to Depeche Mode (a name suggested by Gahan after he had come across a fashion magazine by the name of Dépêche-mode) which has been translated to "Fast Fashion" many times.

	Dave Gahan - Music Downloads - Online
		When Gahan joined Depeche Mode in 1980, he was the group's missing puzzle piece, a charismatic, stylish singer.
		However, as keyboardist Martin L. Gore's songs darkened with the 1986 LP Black Celebration, Gahan matched the bleakness in Gore's lyrics by singing in a grimmer tone; it turned Gahan into a major influence on future industrial, gothic rock, and synth pop acts.
		By 1993's Songs of Faith and Devotion, Gahan was living in Los Angeles and, inspired by the look and sound of grunge bands, grew his hair long and started sporting a beard.

	Dave Gahan - Paper Monsters - Reprise Records - CD
		All that remained for Dave Gahan to do was sing the songs; so, in essence, he was and still is, “The voice of Depeche Mode”.
		While there are indubitable traces of DM throughout the album, there is a confidence in Gahan’s vocals that is no longer based on rock n roll bravura but the confidence that comes with having lived through hard times and emerging stronger than before.
		His battle with drugs and personal demons are laid bare in most of the songs and yet, the album is not all gloom and doom, as he talks of his redemption and being able to feel love once again.

	paper-monsters.com - Gahan's Biography

	Dave Gahan - PopMatters Concert Review
		Dave Gahan, known the world 'round as the lead singer of seminal synth-pop band Depeche Mode, is one over-the-top performer.
		Gahan paced the show with a steady, growing transcendence, starting with most of the high-energy solo material, easing into mellower songs like "A Little Piece" and "Bitter Again", while sprinkling the main set at the right times with DM classics like "A Question of Time" and "Walking in My Shoes".
		Gahan played for over 90 minutes sans his longtime band, and his faithful and devoted wanted more.

	BBC - Rock & Alt Review - Dave Gahan, Paper Monsters
		As the iconic frontman of Depeche Mode, Dave Gahan has lived the archetypal rock 'n' roll lifestyle and has somehow lived to tell the tale, although for 6 minutes in 1996, he was clinically dead.
		Dave Gahan takes us through a rollercoaster of emotions, to the point where you feel like you're living it with him.
		Gahan, with Bono, the best frontman by far from the last 25 years, just because they´ve been dark and different doesn´t mean they are not as great as U2 for instance.

	Dave Gahan: Paper Monsters (2003): Reviews
		Lyrically autobiographical, songs deal with Gahan's trouble with relationships and intoxicants and, though they lack Gore's sense of drama and perversity, they do have a maudlin charm.
		Gahan's lyrical moochings are inevitably less assured without his umbilical cord to [Martin] Gore, at times bordering on moon-in-June banality.
		Dave can do no wrong...personally he is the equal of The Great Madonna in cultural status...this album is the corination of a Prince of sentuality and a friend to all lovers......

		The two creative forces behind Depeche Mode, Dave Gahan and Martin Gore, have both released solo albums and how they both fare hinges the next level of activity for the band.
		The solo record has placed Gahan at a cross-roads with the band, similar to the situation Mick Jagger found himself in when he released his first solo album nearly 20 years after the first Stones record.

		As the voice of Depeche Mode, Dave has become a hero to millions, hitting intense public highs and deep personal lows.

	Dave Gahan - Paper Monsters @ Designer Magazine
		After the disappointing dirge of Martin L Gore's "Counterfeit II" all eyes are focusing on Dave Gahan to deliver that great solo record with "Paper Monsters".
		When Gahan was on suicidal drug binges it was always Gore who was there trying to make a positive out of the negative and turn the experience into heartfelt lyrics which Gahan could sing with a degree of honesty.
		It's hard for us to say as in terms of songwriting there's no precedent of Gahan's to compare it to, but it seems as if Chandler is living in the shadows afraid of trying something new and in the process attempting rehashes of his friends better works.

		The solo debut of Depeche Mode frontman David Gahan has been a long time coming, so you'd expect the album to be brimming with messy ideas formulated while Gahan was forced to sing Vince Clarke and Martin Gore songs while his own were filed away.
		Dave is actually quite a good composer and it's surprising to me that he didn't have more input in writing on earlier DM albums.
		dave gahans first solo record was a suprise- what i imagined was some horrible cliche rock record but what i found was a very moody wellcrafted album that mixes the best of sofad-era depeche mode with some ry cooder electro blues slide guitar(nearly on a majority of the tracks.

	Dave Gahan - Paper Monsters : album review
		Dave Gahan is looking pretty good for having fronted Depeche Mode for 22 years, and having been involved in all the standard excesses associated with rock stardom including battles with drug addiction in the 90s.
		Produced by Ken Thomas of Sigur Rós fame, the album was recorded in New York in an open-ended, back-to-basics manner.
		Sultry photographs of Gahan on the cover could be of a latino matinee idol - slicked back fl hair, sharp suit and ironic expression - and, it has to be said, this is a very seductive album.

		Dave clearly enjoys himself here and is just as energetic as he was on the fantastic Exciter tour.

	BBC - Nottingham Music - Dave Gahan
		Such were his drug excesses in the 90s that the Depeche Mode front man was in danger of leaving the music scene completely and not because he’d got fed up of singing.
		Hold On brings us out of the mire, A Little Piece is a stripped back message of trust between people and Stay, in a similar vein, is about his baby daughter.
		Although there’s the over-riding feel of industrial Depeche Mode seeping through the collection this is very much Gahan moving in a new direction.

	Dave Gahan: Paper Monsters - review of Dave Gahan's new album featuring Dirty Sticky Floors
		Dave Gahan's first solo effort wasn't awaited with much anticipation, as Martin Gore the maestro and one-man band of Depeche Mode, has never succeeded in getting over the hurdle with his Counterfeits, except for the single "In a Manner of Speaking".
		Combined with Thomas's atmospheric, bewitching textures, Gahan's voice manages to transport, when abandoning the sometimes showy side of rock for fragility, all with restraint.
		Bypassing the silliness of certain lyrics "Maybe one day we'll all be free", what's especially memorable is the sincerity of this record, a sort of private diary of a wounded man, spelled on the mode of confidence.

		Dave Gahan stretches his wings outside of the security of Depeche Mode and pulls of a surprisingly good set.
		The concert sees Dave working with a traditional rock band (guitars, bass, drums, keyboards) for the first time and the results are worth while.

	Dave Gahan @ Shepherd's Bush Empire : gig review
		After a couple of decades fronting Depeche Mode it shouldn't come as a surprise that Dave Gahan is a consummate professional when it comes to live gigs.
		There's a smile of genuine delight on Gahan's face when he realises this, and holds the mic out over the mosh pit for full effect.
		For the next hour and a half we are treated to the whole of the new album, with irresistible single Dirty Sticky Floors, the creepy Black and Blue and the rip-roaring Bottle Living particularly impressive.

	Dave Gahan - Paper Monsters
		Whereas Dave Gahan is the frontman; a wayward spirit whose personal life has often conflicted with the group's - actually rather successful - bid to gain world domination.
		DM fans will point to 'Bottle Living' and 'Dirty Sticky Floors' as typical 'Songs And Faith And Devotion'-era music but Gahan is on better form when he steps out from the shadow of his day job.
		For that reason alone it is a pleasure to hear Gahan finally realise his true talent.

		While the song was good, it wasn't the stuff of solo careers.
		Now with Depeche Mode part of musical history, Gahan attempts to create some solo magic of his own.
		But like Robert Smith, Bono, Michael Hutchence and other lead singers that are closely related to their bands, solo success may prove daunting to find in a generation far removed from their success of years past.

	Dave Gahan - Paper Monsters (Album Review)
		As the frontman for Depeche Mode, Dave Gahan spent the 1980s fusing synth-pop with grim lyrics, creating a soundtrack for adolescents around the globe.
		By the 1990s, the band had become a massive alternative rock act, but the departure of keyboardist Alan Wilder in 1995 as well as a suicide attempt by the heroin-addicted Gahan signaled the extreme internal difficulties that the group was facing.
		Paper Monsters marks Gahan’s debut as a solo artist and as a songwriter, and it’s full of the type of reflective confessionals one might expect to hear.
