I got to know Front 242 thanks to Depeche Mode, and to this day they are two great inspirations for me

Great footage! Saw F242 as a support band for Depeche Mode on late 1987 and got strongly involved and fascinated with their music at that time, unlike the most of the Milan’s gig audience…

36:26 TFW you learn that "Headhunter" was literally about corporate job recruiting.

6:07 live, the manic energy of R23 opposes and balances the dour, stalwart, stoicism of Jean Luc. This living study of contrasts sets up Patrick to be the puppet master directing both of them. But those with eyes to see, stand by the sound board and watch Daniel B. sculpt it all into an amazing live experience.

So ahead of their time they somehow managed to use a Commodore 128 (1985) on their debut album (1982)!

Sou fã de varias bandas ate com maior notoriedade, mas Front 242 é uma paixão sonora, visual, vídeos e tudo por conta de um amigo que me apresentou nos anos 80 ele tinha um estilo punk, underground sei la ... Mas eu pirava no estilo dele, meus pais jamais deixariam eu fazer metade das coisas que ele fazia, mas era super do bem, meus pais adoravam ele e tudo, mas adora uns cabelos loucos, roupas, botas, tatoos etc

Live without Front242 ,is a useless live!

Front 242 live Toulouse 2023 on my channel, enjoy :)

I love Up Evil and Off. I think they are amazing albums. I just wanted to make that clear.

ELECTRONIC BODY MUSIC = FRONT 242

I discovered Front 242 in 87 through Depeche Mode 👍

My fav electro industrial band

13:35: Good old Commodore 128 computer :)... (note that it doesn't fit into the timt frame at the point in the doc, the C128 came out in 1985+, and you are talking about 1982 at that point) :)

242 is without any kind of doubt one of the greatest electronic bands ever .

242 is so damn good. it's like a sonic feast. the first time i heard them in high school, i was blown away. got to see them live and was surprised at how good the electronics translated live.

The uncompromising integrity shines through, especially Daniel B. The Nazi accusations must have hurt more than they perhaps acknowledge. Anyone taking to them for more than 5 minutes must surely have realised these are no fascists.

Just a bare fact: the defense of Donetsk Airport was lasting for 242 days. Ukrainian fighters (known as "cyborgs") against the prevailing Russian and LDNR separatist forces. How did Front 242 knew it back in 1981? 🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦

To me it's funny how they talk about evil and off. They where the albums that introduced me to F242 in the early 90s and are still my favourite albums. What they thought was musical suicide was actually genius, way ahead of its time.

I LOVE front 242

🖤💀

Great to hear Foufone in Montreal kept their US tour alive! Front 242 was a huge band for me, a big influence.

When i saw them here in Deutschland at the beginning of the 2000 ( Bochum my hometown ) A chapter of my life ended Happy and full of Ebm inspiration Thx !!! Body to body was THE 4 to the floor technoid ebm beat 81 ( 😮 ) that everybody loves who is into electronic machine music ⚙️( i know DAF was first but Front 242 were pure electronic drums)

39:40 .... 1888 ? haha really old band ! Sure the Furst EBM band !

My first contact to EBM in 1986 and still my favorite band along Nitzer Ebb

They're awesome :)

"Just fuckin' alive?" -Just stop saying that

No men or her, just great! 242 !!

Really great documentary. Thanks!

Le journaliste qui les a accusés d'être des fachos est Christophe Bourseiller (vu dans un Elephant ça trompe énormément). A 21'00'. Il s'est rétracté par la suite.

60,000 belgian francs = $1000 in in 1985 USA dollars, which would be $2,500 today

So, you're telling me that "Headhunter" is inspired by the recruitment process at a Belgian insurance company?!?

who the f...k decided to throw in Jos van Ooserwijck (19:51) ? I don't care about a stupid "influencer" who does not like FRONT 242. Ze dragen uniformen... Joske toch.

All questions...ANSWERED! Nice.

je fais des versions spéciales de front

Damm ! God gave us : Front242, Nitzer Ebb and Depeche Mode Those guys are not producing lousy, easy, simply accescible stupid love and feel good songs... Quite the opposite ! But they always open the door to an alternative and another/better world ... 49 y old but still they influence me enormously... 12 y old when i went (by bike for 50m) for my first DM concert and now i have more than 300 visits to the 3 aforementioned bands on my curriculum...& still keep digging them ! Body temperature now rising to above normal level, pupils dilatating, heartbeat greatly increasing and tongue numbness indicators are appearing to indicate approaching delirium level just by writing this... It’s not just capitalist opportunism that incited DM to have F242 and NE opening their awesome performances All this drives me back to my first Kraftwerk vynil when i was eight ...

25:14, that is when Jean-Luc sang personnaly to me at Foufounes électriques at the After-Show...........amazing memories!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Wow, just had to say this. I was accused of being Nazi for listening and being a fan of this music. Wow, it's been said by THEM!! Thanks guys! At 20:00.

Thanks for this

💛

Which camera did you use in this video? Awesome vid btw

I can't wait for Festival Forte 2019 ❣

<3

Thank You all to made it true <3 find here Festival Forte 2018 m.facebook.com/events/591881397815233

I do love everything until tyranny for you, weekly listening. Please be a 3 guys band again.

I had the extreme pleasure of seeing them last night here in Dallas, Tx at Granada theater ( small venue ) and being able to touch the stage all night. Leather Strip opened and he was fucking amazing. The after party was at Lizard Lounge and I got to meet Jean Luc upstairs with Leather Strip ( Claus Larsen ) only by accident because a girl came up to me and said she's knows Front 242. I followed her upstairs to the VIP area, neither of us had paid the VIP package for a meet and greet. But she actually knows Claus and we just blended in with about 7 other people. I got a picture with Jean Luc and Claus Larsen. Only the second time I have ever seen 242. I am 45 now and probably won't ever get to see them again, because they rarely come to the states.

I was lucky enough to see Front242 on Sat 25Sep17 @ Numbers nightclub in Houston for Industrafest, &for a small club show they pulled no stops. Full band & vocals; might have been the best of 4 in the 28 years since I 1st saw them live in 1989

I <3 FF

vu en 1987 à l'AB... Ai toujours leur t-shirt :-)

very good documentary
