You know whats cool about the helmets? They could retire and some other artist can continue producing and creating as Daft Punk..... your great grandchildren could go to a Daft Punk concert.
I think the helmets are a good idea, if I did commercial rock or pop music I would likely do same because I don't want the fame bug, no privacy and no free time, I want music bug, so people can't see you so are intrigued by music rather than being over intrigued by person/celebrity image, I think it would be cool, you get to be cool and anonymous on stage and mr low profile off stage, good idea
the business opp are also amazing...imagine if the continued with the anime...they probably could have had top selling action figures, funko pop toys, video games (hoping they show up in Cyber Punk 2077), etc etc also having a helmet can easily immortalize the band....Daft Punk 2.0, 3.0, 4.0 and so on and so on.
These two french geniuses can literally send decoys at their concerts/events while enjoying their lives to the fullest without being bothered at all. Brilliant move.
Because you saying this is the first time seeing their faces is honestly the entire point. its supposed to be about their music not the rock star celebrity lifestyle.
They nearly went bankrupt because they financed "Interstellar 5555" with their own money and hired legendary animation artists Daisuke Nishio and Hirotoshi Rissen. Its not cheap to make an animated movie and it apparently didn't make much money. I think its one of the reasons why they had to slow down releasing albums or why they chose to release human after all.
They even brought legendary director Leiji Matsumoto for Interstella 5555 (fun fact: Matsumoto is their childhood hero; they used to grow up watching one of Matsumoto's shows, _Space Pirate Captain Harlock._ They had been honored to be able to work with Matsumoto on an animated feature.)
anthony patterson - When a Music Label gives an advance to record an album, that’s actually a loan. What’s funny also besides paying to record your music and film a music video. The artists don’t even own their Masters. That’s how scums from Music Labels rip out artists. Daft Punk was smart to sign with Virgin records which allowed them to own their masters.
Wearing masks and never really showing their face really gives them two separate lives, which is actually really smart. They’re an international icon, but then they’re also able to love a personal life without the worry for privacy issues because not very many people know what they actually look like. These guys are very smart with their journey into the lime light.
I love how entusiastic the host is when telling the story, you can tell he's a fan of the band himself, feels like he's having drinks with a friend who asked him "do you know this band called Daft Punk?" and he goes "bro, order another round cause I'm about to monologue".
And deadmau5 is trashing marshmello for “copying” him. As much as I like deadmau5, he knows very well he got his idea from the kings that are daft punk ✌️
Yeah, but Deadmau5 did not use his mask to hide his identity, just as a cool stage prop. We all know what Deadmau5 looks like. This is the first time I see the Daft Punks faces, though young, so if they walk past me today, I wouldn't recognize them.
@@Chavezoid Partially true. Joel did have a fair amount of stage anxiety there when he first started. The mau5head started out as this cool thing he could wear and not have to look at the crowd, thus keeping him focused. I don't think he cares much these days and would probably rather go without the helmet due to the sheer fact that they're so bulky and heavy.
He nailed the Casey Kasem vibe and vocal quality, and I think his energy and enthusiasm were strong enough to carry through the multiple mistakes (anominity, pox office, et al)
Rocco Sato funny that their very robotic definitely unhuman look and sound is what actually keeps the two connected to humanity and helps them be ‘normal’
@Graham Rathbone well you could argue that they left a good impression with the mid 2000s hip-hop artists. Hip-Hop producers were sampling Daft Punk at the time
Who’s here after the break up announcement?☹️ Edit: Damm, thanks for 1k likes, never had soo many likes lol... and yeah, they retired, not break up, my bad. Still sad about this tho🥺
I don't get the hate on Human After All... For me it's some kind of electronic punk album, it's raw, it's fast, it definitely has some weight in to it. It's pretty good
Every album of daft punk had a portion of the fans upset because every album was vastly different than the last. each time people would say "this doesn't sound like daft punk" when fans who know the influences they are building from and the people they emulate can see how each and every album is uniquely them.
@@jonah8231 That's one of the things I love about them and keeps their music "fresh" to me even after all the years. I know I'm more of the exception but I hate it when people want that same sound from their favorite band and get upset when they don't get it.
Exactly. Even when he mentioned "raw, stripped down sound", that's what punk rock is. But I always said, Human After All was important in the grand scheme of things, only because the songs on that album worked perfectly in their Alive 2007 mash-ups and just translated so well to songs from Homework and Discovery. There will never be anything like Alive 2007 again
RAM was a really really good album. I find amazing how they got NASA to let them use a recording of an Apollo mission Also I read this years ago but check this out: Discovery = Very Disco Veridis Quo = Very Disco How I did not notice that the first time is something I will never understand lol
NASA has lots, LOTS of publicly available material of any kind and here is how they allow or prohibit use of such material: www.nasa.gov/multimedia/guidelines/index.html You can have access to the Apollo recordings, too ;) I don't think they object to their use. Granted that if you're DP, you make sure your legal team gets NASA's clearance before releasing the trakcs ;)
They didn’t split I believe, they just got tired to they retired. Kinda like The White stripes who stopped because they didn’t want to ruin their music

I don't listen to this genre of music, but I ABSOLUTELY listen to Daft Punk and love them. Proving how awesome this band is - transcending the confines of the conventions of business, music making, instruments, etc. to make it to the top. Love the 9:09 reference in their origin story (to the Roland 909)... There are a lot of parallels to their aesthetic to Kraftwerk, another band I adore.
In the current state (years) of crappy music and tik toks, we don't deserve bands like them. Farewell Thomas and Guy Manuel! Thank you for amazing music and all the good times! (Specially in the 90s!) Cheers to Daft Punk!
I am a DJ and music producer and it is almost solely because of Daft Punk. I have had their framed poster in my various living spaces for several years. I remember in college I even brought it back home with me during one winter break. I cannot create music without those two watching over.
They wear helmets to be Mysterious, Intriguing, and timeless. Its pretty clever to outwit all the dumb kids who think you have to be young to be relevant.
These men paved the way for electronic artists around the world. They inspired incredible talent like Danger and Magic Sword to create some of the best music in the genre while remaining completely anonymous. Truly era defining legacy.
If y'all are craving some new Daft Punk sounds, check out the band Parcels. They just came out with their debut album and it was produced by Daft Punk. RAM style 70s inspired.
"Where they go next is anybody's guess, but no matter what direction they take we can be certain that their robot persona will be the one constant through it all." ROFL only a year later this statement hits 1000 times harder
To me its always just been a cool, unique look. When you've got an endless stream of same-y popstars, who all sound and look the same, having just two dudes come out in crazy looking helmets really lets them stand out. At that point their music only has to be average for them to become popular, because at that point you go to their concerts and shows just to see what they'll do next.
Their music has always been a meshing of time periods and genres of music, and the robot suits and personas are just another part of that. The contrast between their technological/nonhuman/futuristic robot outfits and sounds of synths, drum machines, and vocoders mixed with the analog/human/nostalgic samples from 70s and 80s disco/funk/etc. tracks and their usage of real keyboards/guitars/bass has always been some of the defining characteristics of Daft Punk's sound.
Literally, though. That's the entire reason. They're shy as hell and don't want their faces to be seen so they can, yknow, walk out in public without getting mauled by fans.
I had my son " Thomas" when I was 17 so of course i knew Daft Punk so I named my son after the band member "Thomas" that was 2005 and I'm Trying to make him a DJ like Daft Punk
In Romania there's this band called Carla's dreams and they wear elaborate makeup (like full on paintings) and hoodies. This too creates a great feeling of mystery and it's very creative too. But not all bands/singers can do that. This obsessive cult of personality is a problem when the artist is more valued than their music, and if they choose to hide their identity that's nice, but they're not obliged to. It's the industry and fans expectations that should change.
I believe that they were inspired by the band SPACE from the late 70's. TWO guys wearing space helmets playing synth music... Check out MAGIC FLY LP from 1977 Excellent synth disco
_is shy in French_ oh wow, i was right I like how there appear to be pretty much no photos of their faces from after they started wearing the helmets as well

Thanks man! They’re good
Thank you so much for this recommendation. So awesome when you get to hear new 🔥 that you never would have found. Seriously. You the MVP for this one
At 10:59 it looks like a visual tribute to the cover of David Bowie's Heroes.
It is.
That song is amazing.
The album writings on the ram cover also looks similar to michael jackson's thriller
Funny enough, when Thomas went on tour with DJ Falcon and Cassius in 2002, they played the David Guetta remix of Heroes as part of their set.
@@PerhapsGuy *And now... R.I.P Cassius. Not long ago this year.
*sad face* :-(
7:15
*Update 2021: They finally retired after 28 years.* 😓
This has to be one of the most well done videos on Daft Punk that I have seen and I have seen A LOT of videos on them. Props to you
Did you know the idiots are flat earthers now?
Daft Punk are great, Random Access Memories is my favorite album of all time
I've always loved their designs. They look badass and creative. The music is amazing too!
"Where they go next is anybody's guess, but no matter what direction they take we can be certain that their robot persona will be the one constant through it all." ROFL only a year later this statement hits 1000 times harder
2 years.
that hug at the grammy's was super heartfelt, that definitely got me
My personal answer: its aesthetically pleasing.
Best Cyberpunk Bromance Arc.
Me reading the title: why wouldn’t they?
Been a fan since Homework. Really love how the duo continue to evolve their craft with each album. They're very talented.
This is the best video to watch regarding Daft Punk's history. No bullshit and to the point.
To me its always just been a cool, unique look. When you've got an endless stream of same-y popstars, who all sound and look the same, having just two dudes come out in crazy looking helmets really lets them stand out. At that point their music only has to be average for them to become popular, because at that point you go to their concerts and shows just to see what they'll do next.
Their music has always been a meshing of time periods and genres of music, and the robot suits and personas are just another part of that. The contrast between their technological/nonhuman/futuristic robot outfits and sounds of synths, drum machines, and vocoders mixed with the analog/human/nostalgic samples from 70s and 80s disco/funk/etc. tracks and their usage of real keyboards/guitars/bass has always been some of the defining characteristics of Daft Punk's sound.
I've loved them since 97. Random access memories is an absolute masterpiece.
Every day I find a new fact about daft punk that surprises me even more I respect those guys so much
Producer: How much LED?
Daft Punk: Yes
Daft Punk deserves to be in the music hall of fame
For doing what exactly🤔🤔🤔
sibusiso Tshabalala revolutionizing music
@@carmelopearman5721 That statement could not be more underrated. You are exactly right!!
sibusiso Tshabalala
everything.
Agree.
I hate that I had gone back to watch this video just hours before that announcement... 7:07 hits really different now. :(
They were shy.
I just saved you 12 minutes.
Literally, though. That's the entire reason. They're shy as hell and don't want their faces to be seen so they can, yknow, walk out in public without getting mauled by fans.
maybe you saved 12 minutes for a person that is not a fan. but for the fans, it was a nice video, i like to believe.
@@SeeDVicious video could be about 10 mins shorter!
Thanks flip flop dood
@@edmenjoyer1039 lol when you solve introvertisim and judgement in one fine stroke
That Grammy performance was crazy, one of the best live performance ever.
I had my son " Thomas" when I was 17 so of course i knew Daft Punk so I named my son after the band member "Thomas" that was 2005 and I'm Trying to make him a DJ like Daft Punk
why not guy-man lol
Kid will do what he want, dont force it on him all because of your own fondness. Watch yourself.
Don't force your wishes on to him
Thank you Daft Punk for your unbelievable music. You will be missed!
Forever in our minds and hearts 1993-2021
Vinyl: *Shows there faces*
Me: "Oh no they're hawt."
So Excited for the Pink Floyd The Wall review!!
i've rarely seen this much professionnalism by an amateur journalist, one word : respect
Tron is a masterpiece!” & it made me understand that we want and we need more concept albums. Because we love the cohesive nature.
I was so happy for them when they won the award. I been rooting for them since the 90's.
Harder, better, faster, stronger will always be one of my all time favorite songs!!
In Romania there's this band called Carla's dreams and they wear elaborate makeup (like full on paintings) and hoodies. This too creates a great feeling of mystery and it's very creative too. But not all bands/singers can do that. This obsessive cult of personality is a problem when the artist is more valued than their music, and if they choose to hide their identity that's nice, but they're not obliged to. It's the industry and fans expectations that should change.
Hi i am from romainia too,and i know Carlos dreams is very cool
Thank you for making this. Daft Punk will always be remembered by us and they’ll forever live in our hearts and memories❤️
Daft Punk is life. Daft Punk is love
Nah Jesus is life, Jesus is love
@@audioplugg5310 Na Shrek is life. Shrek is love.
daft punk are flat earthers... lmao that's some life.
@deniz akkaya Wait are you quoting the pop locking preacher guy?
I believe that they were inspired by the band SPACE from the late 70's. TWO guys wearing space helmets playing synth music... Check out MAGIC FLY LP from 1977 Excellent synth disco
_is shy in French_
oh wow, i was right
I like how there appear to be pretty much no photos of their faces from after they started wearing the helmets as well
Watching this after seeing their break-up announcement video...
Forever LEGENDS Daft Punk ('93-'21) 😞😞😞
