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!
"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.
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.
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.
@@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.
🎹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.😊
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
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👈👍✊🇧🇷🇩🇪❣
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
Kraftwerk. Those crazy guys... Ralf Nütter, Florian Schnitzel-Hasslebun, Karl Barking and Wolfgang Flöored. Funny guys! No, really, I like Kraftwerk. ;)
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 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!
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 TH-cam ;)
- 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.
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.
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
@@Gyrbae I'm sure right after this "She's a model and she's looking good I'd like to take her home, that's understood She plays hard to get, she smiles from time to time It only takes a camera to change her mind"....
@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..."
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!
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".
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! :]
They look more like Fatwerk now. Sheer awesomeness from the early days of the music revolution (no not that 60's hippie crap, the real one from the 70's/80's techno/punk/new wave movement). The influences from those days are still all over the radio right now.
I would not doubt for a second. I suppose what I thought when writing the comment back then was that how good english skills one of non-native descence (as am I) have, at one point or the other it is bound to still be confusion and misinterpretations. Though I probably did not realize that (choose to speak a certain way as part of personality) when I wrote that comment.
True legends! I don't know if it's accurate to say they're the fathers of hip hop, or even techno and trans, as electronic instrumental music, including dance ones, pre-date Kraftwerk. Heck, "Popcorn" came out before them. Still, they are the fathers of electronic and synth pop.
Zwitter59, you're right... Once I spoke KraftVVerk and a guy corrects me saying with an american acent: ""Craftwoooork"" What can I do ? I just laughed...
@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.
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 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.
@Vebinz popcorn is old.its from 1969.but kraftwerk start 1968. anyway."popcorn was a great track,but change nothing. if you listen to kraftwerks "trans european express" you will hear where hip hop come from.a song,older as the first hip hop track from africa bambaataa.
Talk about German efficiency - the band don't even have to turn up to their own gigs!
"He´s not only a robot, he´s a GERMAN robot."XD This sounds so funny, especially when you´re from germany.

@@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.

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
Ralf's ignorance, "talk to my robot!"
"Planet Rock" wasn't the first hip hop record, but it shattered the paradigm....
Thanks for the truth
My dad loves Kraftwerk!
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".
Kraftwerk. Those crazy guys... Ralf Nütter, Florian Schnitzel-Hasslebun, Karl Barking and Wolfgang Flöored. Funny guys!
