"Kraftwerk is a European band, with German passports- and we're touring the world." That's a very good answer, in just a few words. I guess Mr. Huetter has that ability to put a lot of meaning in a few words, the way Kraftwerk has the ability to put a lot of emotion into synth pulses and a drum-machine beat.
you probably dont care but does anyone know of a method to log back into an instagram account?? I was stupid lost the password. I would appreciate any help you can give me!
Actually the robot/mannequin thing came about when a German music magazine wrote about the stage performances by Kraftwerk and said their movements were sparse like the emotions of a schaufensterpuppe/mannequin. This inspired them to write Schaufensterpuppe and then to elaborate on it with We are The Robots, The Model etc and finally it turned into an half-ironic stage concept.
Incorrect. The title Man-Machine was written in a journal, and after viewing Metropolis at a nightclub, the group, bit by bit, overlaid this aesthetic onto a session where Ralf had already composed baseline to The Robots (untitled at that time).
@@aeciosxtnr I still have all the vinyl and listen to them on the reg. safe to stay teenage me had other things going on tho, but a highlight either way.
KRAFTWERK = WAGNER e BEETHOVEN _ fizeram e fazem Revolução Sonora até hoje= com vários DJS incluindo suas maravilhosas obras em Suas Playlists _ Reverência de Niterói/ Rio de Janeiro BRASIL👈👍✊🇧🇷🇩🇪❣
Kraftwerk are the true legends of electronic music, I'm an avid Kraftwerk fan and I encorp their music when I am doing dj music sessions, one thing is for sure that these guys are the best German electronic band ever no holds barred.
Several years ago in Poland waited for the Chemical brother's to play. No backup band... Instead I heard the Man Machine played incredibly loud and fantastic....After gig bought better amp and speakers. Fact
I have always found Ralf Hutter oddly engangeing. He is the same age as one of my oldest friends - 62 who is now chubby silver haired but stills enjoys Kraftwerk. When I was around his apartment recently we both had great fun watching the "Maximun Minimum" DVD
🎹This band is fantastic,thanks to all the different band members we have had in this band,thanks to them we would not of had bands like,Depeche Mode OMD and Petshop Boys.Thanks Chaps.😊
@@Car_das_Auto Bear in mind that in the 1960s Mr Spock of Star Trek was the subject of millions of women's fantasies. And surely he has a spiritual connection to Kraftwerk.
I was actually surprised when she said that, because my best female friends love them too. But yesss..... When I saw them in Düsseldorf on a concert, there where much more men.
in 70s, can anybody expect such a music which has relevance even now? they are the fathers of electronic. match their music with today's electronic band's, then you will start to respect them.
Kraftwerk. Those crazy guys... Ralf Nütter, Florian Schnitzel-Hasslebun, Karl Barking and Wolfgang Flöored. Funny guys! No, really, I like Kraftwerk. ;)
As a decades long follower of all sounds electronic.... Since the late 80's they've had much more influence on the techno genres of Electronica, Industrial, recently EDM and even Global Rhythm influenced multi-genre music.
"... he is not only a robot - he 's a GERMAN robot." Hilarious. =D Greetings from Germany ;-) By the way: I am a woman and obviously I am not normal because I simply love KRAFTWERKs music.
I’m so glad I actually saw them after years! I’m old enough enough to have seen them from the start but didn’t get around to it until around 2006-7 here in LA at the Greek Theater. A place I hate! But Kraftwerk were fantastic!
Well,I'm glad it was helpful. You're welcome,it's always good to find someone who states clearly his point of view,with such a good capacity to go straight to the core of the problem. And yes,the number of thumbs up is definitely reassuring,considering that we're on UA-cam ;)
Kraftwerk is freaking awesome they have had many innovations that were not even thought about. I really think these guys were aiming to progress music but not the type of music of today. I think they were going for a more progressive electronic sound that could quite possibly be mainstream music In the future which would be fantastic!
- Somehow "Kraftwerk's" Music and "Trans Europe Express" for example gives me impressions of "Bauhaus" and "Constructivism". One of the most influential Bands ever, I agree, as said in this video.
best band in the world im hunting for every album from autobahn, radioactivity, Trans - Europe - Express, the man.machine ( best album ever ) computer world and tour de France
Yeah, in German, as you may know, it'd be nearer "Krafft-vairk" (as in "air") but I don't think the band would ever expect Brits to pronunce it like that. The Germans pronounce Jaguar (as in the cars) "Yag-yoo-ar".
Thank you for your kind words, plus without your comment and my notification via mail I would'nt have found out about the many thumbs up my remarks recieved here, which is somewhat reassuring.
Found this interesting with one minor flaw. Gary numan wasnt influenced by kraftwerk. He said himself he was more influenced by uktravox with Jon Foxx and others if the post punk era.
It's funny that Kraftwerk are the true godfathers of all music electronic. None of these DJs of today actually do anything live, except try to look like they're doing something; And all while their pre-produced .wav file plays on a laptop over the venue loudspeakers. They're no robots; THESE are the robots!
I love Ralf Hutters utterly perfect hair above his ears, such a precise line. I think their precision but odd warmth is what makes them magical wizards of the keyboard. Oddly enough, I've never met a male fan of Kraftwerk but a small helping of female fans, myself included, and yes I have met myself many times lol.
Miranda Sawyer is pretty good at breaking it all down and sorting things, and she's been behind many scenes for over twenty years, excellent journalism, she doesn't need to brag about it is all. Believe it or not not everyone wants to be Piers Morgan.
I don't like the fact she said Planet Rock was the first Hip Hop record. It wasn't. Trans Europe Express influenced the technology aspect of the music.
@tn800 Hi there, I guess, with "Zero-Situation" he refers to something, he said in an interview with Rock & Folk Magazine back in 1976: "The living culture of Central Europe was cut in the '30s, and all the intellectuals went to the U.S. or to France, or they were eliminated. We take back that culture of the '30s at the point where it was left, and this on a spiritual level..."
@SuperPirateTV Yes, but Kraftwerk didn't go predominantly-electronic until "Autobahn" in 1974, their first albums were apparently more real instruments it seems.
@tudgefunnel there were a bit more people who contributed to progress of modern music. You heard about Concrete Music movement? They were using oscillators and samples in 50s as well. But wait, electric guitar wasn't first electric instrument too, before that existed already few electric instruments. One good example is Theremin invented in 20s in USSR.
I'm a woman and I haven't got a clue! I think Rolling Stones have a rather strong appeal for ladies too, since they are good-lookers, and their music contains the feeling of excitement. U2-wise - take them, they are so lukewarm in everything they do. My personal taste revolves around rock'n'roll, art rock, krautrock, punk, experimental, electronic and classic...ah, no, I can't judge in that way, I like everyting that sounds good! :]

Just as Prince would eventually follow with
Ralfie is not a huetter. He is a hütter
"He´s not only a robot, he´s a GERMAN robot."XD This sounds so funny, especially when you´re from germany.

I would think German robots would be the most efficient to maximize creativity. 🤖
Germans' can birth creativity from nothing at all taking silence to create noise......

Talk about German efficiency - the band don't even have to turn up to their own gigs!
slowly getting addicted to this band more and more
I never knew Ralf-Bot had such a golden voice
my favorite line of him is "........"
And he's cute too)
@@ThatDudeWhoHatesGacha Sheer poetry.
I love the robot keeps turning his heard toward the interviewer, he just has this look of "What the hell are you on about?" on his face.

When I watch their videos, I can't tell if they're humans becoming robots, or robots turning into real people.
@@bradlemmond did u find the answer? I still cant
That's hilarious. We Are The Robots was my gateway to Kraftwerk and still my favorite song by them.
Incorrect.
The title Man-Machine was written in a journal, and after viewing Metropolis at a nightclub, the group, bit by bit, overlaid this aesthetic onto a session where Ralf had already composed baseline to The Robots (untitled at that time).
@@reinforcedpenisstem Well, Kraftwerk members told me this . I think that they are a reliable source.
I love Kraftwerk. They spoke to me from the first time I heard them. It is no surprise that you hear their influence in most modern music.

Thank you for posting this! I've loved Kraftwerk for just over 20 years. Even meeting one of their robots would be amazing.
I love Ralf's sense of humour.
....love them since their beginning in the sixties!
1970. Ralf and Florian had another band that was short lived called Organisation.

After finishing Wolfenstein II, it's good to see that not all German robots want me dead.
😆😆😆
I think that a Kraftwerk song needs to be in a Wolfenstein game
My dad loves Kraftwerk!
I'm sure human Ralf is hidden somewhere answering the questions in real time
He has a walkie talkie inside the robot and talks from it XD
Nope, pre-recorded, sorry.
Yeah there's noway that bot is an AI

Pardon me, but I am personally aware of a number of women who are fanatical in their appreciation of Kraftwerk.

Thanks for the upload.

💯💯✊🏾
Different times with different values
Decades ahead of their time
Trans Europe Express was ahead of it time and generally a classic in my eyes 💯💯🔥🔥
It was very ahead of it's time. It has the word "trans".
these guys have written music history! love from germany and peace
Kraftwerk. Those crazy guys... Ralf Nütter, Florian Schnitzel-Hasslebun, Karl Barking and Wolfgang Flöored. Funny guys!
