Depeche Mode have said in interviews (like during the [[2016-10-11 Press Conference, Teatro dell'Arte, La Triennale di Milano, Milan, Italy|2016 press conference]]) that producer James Ford taught himself to play Martin's pedal steel guitar within one day while in the studio, and thus this guitar was used in some songs including 'Where's The Revolution'.

Notes

Martin Gore told Trackrecord.net:

"“Where’s the Revolution” was written at some point in 2015. I think, there was a sense of things going wrong and the world wasn’t in a great place then. That was pre-Brexit, but you know there were awful problems going on. The Syrian crisis had been dragging on for years... I live in America, and around that time there were blacks getting shot on a kind of weekly basis by the police and rioting, you know—the whole Middle East, is just a big mess. I can’t believe the West has sat back and watched Syria get worse and worse and worse. It’s a very difficult problem to solve, especially when the Russians and the rest of the world are on different pages, but you know on a humanitarian level it’s just—I can’t believe people can sit back and let it happen."

Martin Gore also told Radio Eins in 2017:

"It was one of the first songs that I wrote for the album [Spirit] that kind of started this social commentary."

Dave Gahan told Rolling Stone:

"Martin wrote [this song] in a very sarcastic, English way."

Depeche Mode have said in interviews (like during the 2016 press conference) that producer James Ford taught himself to play Martin's pedal steel guitar within one day while in the studio, and thus this guitar was used in some songs including 'Where's The Revolution'.
