German psychobilly act takes the piss out of Depeche Mode’s ‘Enjoy the Silence’ video
The German psychobilly act Thee Flanders feat. Achim Mentzel have made their own version of Depeche Mode’s “Enjoy the Silence” video. And they are seriously taken the piss out of all the seriousness in the original cult video from Depeche Mode as you can see below. The band’s cover of “Enjoy the Silence” is taken from their “Graverobbing No.2” LP + CD.
Guest actor Achim Mentzel is a popular German musician and TV-presenter.
Here’s the original version shot by Anton Corbin in 1990.

Why we ask
Advertising revenues across the media are falling fast. Unlike many news organisations we have not put up a paywall, and we refuse to add annoying advertising, so we need to ask for your help. Side-Line’s independent journalism takes time, money and hard work to produce, and we do it to push the artists we like, who are equally fighting to survive.
