Hero by NEU! (Klaus Dinger, Michael Rother)
Composed by Klaus Dinger and Michael Rother
Performed by Klaus Dinger, Michael Rother, Hans Lampe, Thomas Dinger
Engineer: Conny Plank
Co-produced by Conny Plank and NEU!
First Release: 1975
the sound mixer deserves some major credit here, sound levels, mixing, makes it sound like a modern song
I think this was mixed by the legendary Conny Plank.
Just a bit! Legend Tonmeister Conny Plank at the controls. Could be argued that Conny was also a silent member of the band. Certainly was for both Cluster and Harmonia.
This absolutely inspired Joy Division’s Love will Tear Us Apart. Compare the intros on these songs.
Stephen Morris is a Klaus Dinger fan
@@jimkay2728 Bernard Sumner too was a NEU fan
I can hear countless songs that this has inspired.
U2 's guitar sound comes to mind for me.
the vocals give me wire vibes
almost entire Sex Pistols
The intro basically inspired Love will tear us aparts intro
@@adamgorsky8422 yes !!! Good call
I am 66 and heard Neu years ago and really liked them. Just discovered this today and I f'kin love it so much. Blown away I am and love the lyrics-brilliant
Post-punk before punk!
Back to Norway
Back to Norway
And you're just another hero riding through the night
Riding through the city
Honey went to Norway, to Norway
And you're just another hero riding through the night
Riding through the city, trying to lose your mind
Oh, another hero, another hero
And you're just another hero trying to lose your mind
Riding through the city, trying to lose your mind
Your Honey went to Norway, hero, hero
And your only friend is music
Michael Rother had one of the most singular guitar tones of the 70's. Sounded like a synthesizer half the time!
Did Billy Idol rip off this?
@Kreuhn Kohrman Klaus played both the rhythm AND the lead guitar guitar tracks while Rother sat it out? They must not have been getting along at the time.
@Kreuhn Kohrman Rother participates with Dinger in "E-MusiK" and in "ISI"... Seeland (my favourite) and Leb'wohl are Rother's songs. he's not active in Hero and After eight. (dinger's songs) it's a pity they was so different... sure Klaus dinger was too crazy for a calmer and meditative Rother. "Hero" and "Seeland" are each one's epythomes... mt favorites are ISI and Seeland, but this one is great too...
You can clearly hear Michael Rother's tone all over Hero, even if Dinger played the rhythm guitar and probably made most of the decisions around the production and sound (like rhe double drums).
@@therealpjoski I heard LA Düsseldorf, the band Dinger created after NEU's break up, and some songs sound very similiar to the background of "hero".
Two years before The Pistols. If you tell me Lydon didn’t take inspiration from this you’re insane.
Lydon totally said he was directly influenced by Neu!, Can, Ramones, etc.
Lydon has always said that he was inspired by Krautrock.
Klaus Dinger singing like Johnny Rotten before Johnny Rotten came to the stage..
+Macron biotique Why not? I'd say certainly. Klaus got the non-singing punk vocal style jump started for other genres. Just listened to the link; very catchy indeed. La Dusseldorf (his first album after NEU, I think) is also a nice piece from his motives of being punk, though.
I'm sure he was familiar with Neu! He's talked about being into Can in interviews before.
Heidebos right on, the first La Düsseldorf album is really good. I personally like all of La Düsseldorf.
Lydon has never made his krautrock influences a secret from anyone. Same for the similarities between Can and what he was doing with early PIL , before Keith fucked off .
..and OMd.
the sound of that band was so much in advance from it's time! it's mind blowing!
Okay. I understand your reasons, but NEU was and only OF it's time. Other musicians were just so completely BEHIND the times
Neu!, Can, Amon Duul and Hawkwind all influenced each other back in the late 60s/early 70s.
Ganz tiefe Emotionen aus meiner unbeschwerten Kindheit bringt dieses Lied bei mir hervor. Als ob es die Urmusik meines Seins wäre. Unglaublich wie deckungsgleich jeder Takt mit meinem frühen Leben harmoniert. NEU! ihr seid meine Band und ich liebe euch! ☮️❤️🙏🏼👍🏼
WAY ahead of their time, love this album!
SeaSleeper this album and there debut inspired my bass playing
Wall of sound, absolutely fantastic track!
This needs the volume knob set to 11 out of 10!
PLAY MEGA LOUD😀
Most definitely, so fuckin good
Absolutely
Amazing! This sounds ahead of its time!
I can see that this definitely either inspired, reminds me of or is similar to U2's early guitar sounds and Joy Division, especially since this is part of Krautrock!
Can't believe this is 50 years old now!
Edit: 47 years old (1975)
Well Bernard Sumner did use the opening here for inspiration for the opening of JD's LWTUA
Yeah I definitely love how Krautrock influenced Post-Punk
@@Post_the_most
Yeah
@@Post_the_mostAnd The Velvet Underground influenced krautrock
@@omegajrz1269 yeah
Damn... why am I just now hearing this? Brilliant intro.
This is a classic way back from the day when Germans did their own thing and didn't copy the English or Americans and made astoundingly good music as a result. Went to Norway, went to Norwaaaaaaaaaaaaayyyyyyyyyy!!! When this stuff was aired on the radio they didn't censor the F-word that is mentioned at least 5 times in the song. Nobody could understand the lyrics anyway, due to their Düsseldorf accent :-)
new to this band. loving it!b just what I have been looking for. a new band yo listen to while I sit back to a joint
I miss those times. Todwy it 's all about copy and paste....
Klaus Dingers swedish girlfriend at that time went to Norway for a new guy.
True!
It starts at like 4:00 - 4:10
I have to thank " Produce Like A Pro" for introducing me to this song!! Love the energy.
SAME HERE.
Yes, that applies to me as well. It was Produce Like a Pro's episode about Bowie's "Heroes."
Same here guys
@@wiseonwords For me it was PLAP's episode on Love Will Tear Us Apart
I hope you're still doing marvellously well.
Like punk, only German. Got it when it first came out. Never dull.
It's more like German Progressive Rock Area wise but yeah I get it.
Somehow early German Punk like Mittagspause also allready sounded like Post-Punk
I seem to be able to listen to this again and again and again puts one big stride in your step wish I would have seen these live but I was only 8 when this was recorded!
combines uniqually Techno with Post-Punk (although 1974 there was not even Punk invented yet). Could be a Joy Division song.
Fun fact: sounds basically like Davidf Bowie's "Heroes". But as Bowie said about himself, he was a "collector" ("ecclestic"). Tremendously "wegweisender" song ...... LOVE IT !"!!
Same level as Halogallo and Negativland
This song explains pretty good why Proto-Punk and Post-Punk sound akin to each other than to punk
perfect... Conny Plank = Sound perfect
...and Joy Division got a lot ideas fm them,,,
100%
So did Sonic Youth and Radiohead.
NEU!'s influence spread far and wide.
THE INSPIRATION FOR BOWIE´S "HEROES" SONG.
@Rhizosphere Is actually true, not a joke. Bowie did know NEU! and even wanted to get Michael Rother as a studio musician. Which never happened though.
Bowie went to Germany and lived in a commune to get off of drugs. He learned a lot from the Krautrockers during this time. Low, Heroes, and Lodger, are called his Berlin albums.
And the intro of Love Will Tear Us Apart
More like a very clear inspiration for love will tear us apart
@@brucekives2194 Not a commune,...He went to de-toxin to Edgar Froese's (Tangerine Dream) house ,...you can read it in Edgar's autobiography "Tangerine dream:Force majeure"
They were post-punk before punk rock trend even got off in the UK!
deadstar44 you just put your finger on what has been bugging me for a week,so many Uk bands fed off this over the next five years.if I'd never heard this,and you told me it was Killing Joke (on a good night) I'd have believed you.it's the best Pistols rehearsal that never happened,but somebody was listening.
Spot on !!!
bec of Punk music: you should also listen to Peter Hammill's (Van der Graaf) Nadir's Big Chance from the same album. Esp the lyrics.
"Bang your feet in a rage, tear down the walls and let us out!
We're more than mere morons, perpetually conned,
So come on everybody, smash the system with the song."
Rec. date: Dec 1974...!
Wonderful
paul elliott t
I hear strains of U2, Joy Division and the Sex Pistols/Public Image Ltd. Very inspirational band obviously and true innovators. Like it, the sound of art.
The Cult, Billy Idol and a LOT of punk
That drumming ... jeezus.
claus dinger
No, Hans Lampe@@stuartnewman6968
That opening riff 🤩
It's so good Joy Division stole it and called it Love Will Tear us Apart! Lol love to see bands inspire each other
@@adamgorsky8422 inspired by, very similar but not identical - stolen is a bit strong
@@Tanzadog1 I was being Hyperbolic
Danke Deutschland!
Amazing so glad I came here..
So wish I'd heard this in 1975.
After the calmness of Rother’s work on the first side (had a personalized plate with SEELAND on it for awhile) this must’ve blasted people right off the floor. Just a searing attack of regimented sound.
immer wieder NEU!
One of the greatest songs of all time 😳
Agreed
Dancing With Myself riff there.
its feel like start iron curtain hoi game
That’s because it is
I know
The intro to Love Will Tear Us Apart and the intro to this..... have a listen
Completely original. Stuck to their guns 100%
Immer Neu!
Fox Sports Cono Sur (Argentina, Chile, Paraguay and Uruguay) included an excerpt of this song in the announcements of the Grman Bundesliga's games between the seasons 2017-2018 and 2019-2020
This hero inspired david bowie's hero. both legendary songs called hero
"Heroes".
spettacolare
this is good stuff. sssssssssst....aaaaaaaaah...
Neu! hat Ruhm verdient.
One badass song 😎
Joy Division, The Cure, Billy Idol, Echo and the Bunnyman, B52´s was
ispired on this song.
David Bowie and Brian Eno too..Listen David Bowies "Heroes"...🤔
i was so close in guessing the girl was dancing to this right before the music actually kicked in for the final scene of jojo rabbit - the setting, the way she was moving, the anachronistic nature of the rest of the soundtrack #likedolphinscanswim
this is so fucking good
❤Cheers bbc radio6, new (no pun intended) to me. Always wondered where Stereolab got that French Disko groove from.
intense as fuck
You can hear directly where Bowie and Iggy got their inspiration from.
They're good lads.
Yep
Amazing. I love this song.
Best ever.
How punk was invented.
(Yeah, I know … but still ... it is protopunk)
No.i am sarow
Neu rrcordrd that masterpis 1975
Punk is not music music was a aditude
I am.i this momento.under.influences of heeeeeevy drug
@@goranbare601 Baš čudno. De ne daj se koje-raznim štetnim utjecajima. All in!!
Joy Division Wire The Fall Pop group John Lydon and many many more...
Ein früher klassenkametad
Wir waren schon aus der Schule raus 1976
Spiegelte mir das vor
Hätte ich nicht von ihm erwartet
Solche Musik
..love the bit starting 5:29
Prototype 'Pretty Vacant'
You can truly feel his anger.
The first 22 seconds of this song would make the perfect intro for Joy Division's Love Will Tear Us Apart. I always expect to hear the JD song after I hear the intro of this song
in fact, they inspired on this song to do Love will tear us apart, check the songs that changed music channel.
@@johnnyesleo Really? I didn't know that. That's awesome! I actually made a little mix of the two songs and this intro fits perfectly in front of LWTUA (but for the difference in video-sound quality.)
where do you think joy division got it from? check out the "mix like a pro" site, there is a great vid compareing breaking down and analysing both tracks, alsolisten to NEU! negativland then talking heads psychokiller, hehehe and where do you think bowie got the title and inspiration for his heroes album? ive been a NEU! fan for decades, originally from manchester now in munich. its sad how so much german musik is overlooked and ignored.....
@@SirGed I know Bowie had the Heroes thing from this track. It's in a documentary. I didn't know there was a connection to joy division tho.
@@EdEditz ian curtis was a big fan mate, like so many clued up people back in the mid-late 70´s in england that were into punk and underground stuff, there is a brilliant documentary called "KRAUTROCK, the rebirth of germany" that goes into the stories of NEU! CAN, FAUST and others from the early 70´s how the krautrockscene influenced punk electro new wave, etc, as i said, its such a shame that so much brilliant german music is overlooked or ignored. keep smilin
Hoi4 cold war Iron curtain activated
dinger's gf left him and went to norway. he tried everything to get her back including a motorbike trip to norway. he failed. that's what the song is about.
I dunno if that is true but I don't care... It fits 😛
I want to drive a really fucking fast car and listen to this really fucking loud!!!!
Wow
Proto-PIL
Cool
W O N D E R F U L
ハンマービートですね‼️
Du marteau piqueur !
Hmmer beat this feel like crazy German electronic fun!
Proto post-punk
Uplifting
Zehr gut! Fucking classic!
iron curtain song
First few seconds I hear where Love will tear us apart came from.
It’s all about 5:42
Best Song on the Iggy Pop Tour 2022
PUNK was invented in germany!!!! (OK it's exageration, but it was a 3 years anticipation to 1977's chaos in england, coming from a totally unexpected root and place)
Rolling Stones in a fever dream.
thanks, melon
Predicts early 80s PiL...!
If you listen to this song you know why Proto-Punk and Post-Punk sound more akin to each other than to Punk
a band is good when David Bowie is there fan :)
Рад видеть ещё одного фаната Дэвида...
True. Check "The young Gods". Bowie was also a fan.
this song is better than it sounds
Oh Yeah BaBy! My nick came from here
Hero 96
👍
Neu! Sanjar Alichor
inspiration for david bowie and iggy pop..........all is said.
Yeah
... and not forget joy division
me when hoi4 cold war theme
punk meets hawkwind.
The most influential german band after ww2
Can? Kraftwerk?
@@fumanchou1338 Can, Neu, Kraftwerk, Ammon Dul, guru guru, asha ra, tangerine dream, cluster, and more. No preconceptions. Pure energy made music. Genius. Best music scene ever imo.
@@Mjumbojetpresdent A number of musicians from the bands mentioned were very well networked with each other - crossover projects...
Hier holte Herr Bowie den Most...
4:09 he just said F the press and F the news 😂😂😂
and i agree.
germany
Influenced David Bowie to right Heroes.
thats who brought me here.
Hardly anyone mentions David Bowie here and please also mention Brian Eno. He was involved!
“Hero” - New! and “Heroes” - David Bowie…listen carefully
Very modern.
