14:17 This explains their career so well. Daft Punk wasn't about money, they could have fit many albums and tours since 2013 till today but they never did. Their passion for art and aesthetic will always be remembered. Thank you for your contribution to music... Farewell
They are such classy and down to earth guys. God I'm such a fan boy when it comes to them lol They are the epitome of classy artists. I love that they love to make music, nothing more, nothing less. Perfect duo. Perfect music. Simply the best.
Guy-Manuel seems to be the introvert side, whereas Thomas seems to be extrovert part of the duo. This type of combo often produces amazing results and success. For example: Steve Wozniak and Steve Jobs of Apple; Steve Ballmer and Bill Gates at Microsoft.
Right? This is more than what more English speakers are willing to do. Given they do a lot of international stuff and English is one of the most spoken languages. (I believe Chinese is 1st) It is inspiring. Learning languages does take work.
@@StabThorCom i love that there's a fellow MCR fan in here! Green Day, Daft Punk, and MCR are like top 3 for me. I got into them all during pivotal moments in my life also, to add to this, deadmau5 is another favorite of mine and there's a connection to Gerard Way there! As Gee did the vocal feature on _Professional Griefers_ back in 2012
For those who are wondering which robot is talking. Thomas, the Silver Helmet, is the one mostly talking through the whole interview. Guy-Man, the Gold Helmet, does not talk much since he is really shy, but he starts talking at 8:40 and 9:02
Guy seems to be quiet in most interviews chiming in once in a while but I think sometimes he will act like he doesn't speak English although he is very intelligent and knows the language well. They as a whole are a constantly evolving project.
@@flensoest Nah it didn't really, it was reading such a sly comment on what was a pretty wholesome comment thread that's now ruined thanks to you that hit me. You can visit my channel and make fun of me all you want I honestly couldn't care, cos unlike you I'm happy with the kind of person I am. I think you're the one that needs to grow up dude.
it was almost startling to hear them speak! this interview is so inspirational. they know and love the music world so thoroughly. they are authoritative.
@@adhirajdeshmukh6813 remix don't ruin anything, that is an educated belief that has been passed on to everyone and it sucks, incredible producers have made mindblowing remixes
Apparently guy man is focusing on his passion of aliens and sticking with French House, while Thomas (who has distanced himself from his DJ friends - implied by Thomas Edwards) is focusing more on video/film
From what I've heard Thomas developed hearing problems back around 2002, mostly due to him being an advid DJ at clubs and the like throughout the 90's and early 2000's. While it did get better over time, in the last few years its gotten much worse and was a major factor in daft punk retiring. It would make sense for him to have moved away from music in order to pursue other projects he's interested in.
Seems to line up with what Julian Casablancas said when asked about another Daft Punk collab in his Fantano interview, that he'd last heard that one was pursing things like film and he wasn't sure when they'd come back together to do music. Glad Thomas is pursuing what he loves, they gave us some fantastic music, I'm intrigued to see what he does in film.
14:57 “..(we)were experimenting with formats *15 seconds 30 seconds 60 seconds* sort of an extended ad.” they were 7 yrs early to the instagram 1 minute vids. early to the 1 minute tik toks that glue our attention to our screens so much. Daft Punk was so ahead of their time, not just musically but in every sense. what a duo. legends.
Ever since those Russians in 'The Saint' pulled up in their black SUV blasting your music, I've been listening to you two wonderful beings. Interstella 5555 changed my life.
You know, Pharelle said they gave him a fizzy tablet in water in his collaborator interview, then at 8:28 they kinda shy away from the idea that he had the drink and then move onto talk about alcohol and magic, hmmm..... now I'm curious about that fizzy drink.
I like the part about the R.A.M. interviews. Pharrell creates this mysterious story how they gave him some pill so he won't be able to remember anything about the recording session (probably to not be able to remember how they look; suuure... 😏). Thomas and Guy-Man: *"Nope, he was just drunk AF combined with some jetlag."* 😆
That's not what I saw.. he said they gave him some holistic thing that gave him lots of energy with no crash, but he doesn't remember any of it. Although Pharell does like to create that mystery with them
I like that though. I think the fact that it was made so quickly and sounds so raw adds to the emotional effect of (some of) the songs. For example, Emotion is my favourite ever DP song simply because it evokes such an emotional respose; I think it's far more powerful that something like One More Time. But that's just me, I know that many people prefer Discovery and thats fair enough :)
@@shaokhan4421 No they won't. They broke up permanently, and it has been confirmed by their publicist. Rumours have it that Thomas' tinnitus has come back.
Thanks to Daft Punk for giving us an exclusive first interview on their return and thanks to you all for listening!
Pete Tong thanks for doing this interview. Getting robots approach was utmost relevant.
Thank you Peter great interview
Cool interview
this didn't age well
How? Lol. ^
14:18 "we'll see where it takes us." oof, that hurts to hear now.

It has always been their motto.. they also don't just do any collaboration, if they did one or two with u it means they liked your music..
You've got to be loaded to not be in it for the money....
@@nr655321 they are french... It's more about be selective , I do wonder how much just for feature on track from them to be honest..
Yea

There is a remix of Get Lucky
I'm fan of them more than 15 years... but their self-remix on Get Lucky sounded like a joke....
Guy-man did it! HE DID IT! XDD
He gave Pharrell something that's why he came out of the depths of silence at 09:01.
9:01
thomas completely drops his accent when he says "ability" at 10:05. sounds fucking strange
what the fuck
lmao

Whoa.
He lived in the untied states for a while
it's rare when you hear Guy-Man
You are literally everywhere on youtube where daft punk is.
i am the ultimate daft punk fan man.
We both are.

Hearing Guy-Man's voice made my weekend :')
Guy's accent is heavier than Thomas's. It's so cute tho.
Im French and when i hear Guy-manuel speaking english it remember me when i was at an English oral test at pre-high school :')
Their voices are so velvety smooth ^^
thomas: "record"
mr. oizo: WRITE THAT DOWN WRITE THAT DOWN
Did anyone notice that conversation at 14:37? =P
"What's for tea?" - "Fish fingers" - "With chips?" - "No I'm on a diet." - "Boo!"
My one question: is Guy-Man getting enough air in there?
😂❤️love that interview
Thank you guy and Thomas for the influence to all 🙏

Gonna miss you guys .. thank you for inspiring us all ..
The messages on the helmets are brilliant
great interview, good to hear their voices for the first time in years... cant wait!!!

You're welcome.
chur bro. three years late, but worth it
Guy-Man speaks!

Reaaaally wanted to listen to this last night on the Radio 1 show but i had to work! Glad to catchup on it :)

So excited for the new album.
I fangirl every time someone even mentions Daft Punk :'''''')
Your take on them breaking up?
I guess they really are human after all...
I see what you did there.
apedap lol I bet people hearing them speak english are like DA FUNK!!
Nop, they are robots using human vocoder, relax.
Bruh
If I remember correctly, Thomas has always done a lot of the talking for Daft Punk, even in the Discovery years.
Wow, they're so well spoken. Very cool.
The good ole days! I love hearing Guymans voice!
His voice is so nice, and knowing that he's super shy but still said something just adds to my respect and love for him
Love this.
14:25 "We want every step of what we're doing to be a special moment. Let's just enjoy listening, and then we'll see where it takes us."
I really hope they drop their last album. I know they “broke up” but I really hope they drop it as a final goodbye.
They didn't "break up" dumdum
If there is a final album it's probably lost in development hell and they gave up on it.
