Andy Fletcher of Depeche Mode Synthesizer, Access Virus TI Polar

Rock & Roll Hall of Fame

Rock & Roll Hall of Fame
Cleveland, United States

This synthesizer is a key component of Andy Fletcher’s live performance rig; among other roles, Fletcher uses it to create the bassline for crowd favorite “Just Can’t Get Enough.” To what does Fletcher attribute the band’s longevity? “I don’t know … all I can say is that we’re persistent. Good songs, and we’ve made ourselves into a good live band. I suppose that we’ve been outside the mainstream, almost doing our own thing. We think our music is quite melodic – it’s not just a noise. We’ve never really gone for the tabloid press. … The big cult of celebrity – we’re musicians in one of the top bands in the world, but we’re not celebrities – that’s the important thing.”
