Florian Schneider at MusikMesse 2009 - Frankfurt

[JiGe96]

I love in the beginning..

''So how's the shop going for you, Mr Schneider?

''Eh..hep..ep.... ''How's the what?''

[kosmischesynth]

I think he should pick up his flute again and rediscover his acoustic self. Ralf & Florian was a magical album!

[Therealtai1]

Sebastian Niessen is based in munich and still builds syths. even his own ones. i used to live in the same street.

FLORIAN WHY ...

FLORIAN WHY ...

[bryceHUHwhat]

i love how at 1:31 you just see florian's head slowly appear from the side.

[TurboVW2004]

Florian looks like he's not with it here...

[LieblingKreuzbergFan]

her looks like he was in the 70s!!!

[balletcomposer]

If Kraftwerk were elected to the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, would they show up? Can you imagine?

[navyboydjray]

Kraftwerk is so illusive. They are like hermits x10.

[Honeyglow1000]

The guy at the end of the clip talking about the machines he made seems to be a pretty level headed guy, but good golly does he have a big wide mouth!

[thecrimsonfloyd]

So, I suppose he is the only member of Kraftwerk who makes actual public appearances?

[themachman19691]

ye deffo a legend.kraftwerk are no more since he left.

[ekimshield]

Florian Schneider is a living legend.

[MrKraftwerk1]

I Cant believe that Florian quit Kraftwerk. I am just... flabergasted that he would leave all of those yers with Kraftwerk and have that "worker" at Kling Klang take his space. If anyone knows any other info on him, please reply to this message!!!

[offthelinegt]

@MrKraftwerk1 indeed

[comsunjava]

Excuse me, but who is the person at the end of the clip, who says he built a few machines for Florian? It would be interesting to have the rest of the clip.. Thanks!

[Nafoute]

Just google for muskmesse 2009. The whole video is probably still online on the official website

[WATCHSONICS]

I believe it is Sebastian Niessen. Of SND. If you look up Schneiders Buero in Berlin you can find his stuff there.

Mad boxes for sure ....

[phthalocyanine4]

@comsunjava that's sebastian niessen from snd. (s-n-d.com) he made custom equipment for nearly every german electronic musician, who is REALLY into analog sound. (kraftwerk, richard bartz, air liquide…)

[jaycee1980]

@comsunjava it's probably Dieter Doepfer... Doepfer has made custom stuff for Kraftwerk before

[tigrius]

@comsunjava It's Sebastian Niessen - he is responsible for building many instruments for kraftwerk

[ffm20zaheri]

is this the guy from kraftwerk ??

he is 60+

[badreligionbomb]

yes, that's Florian

[EFKA526]

@ffm20zaheri Why not? The first Kraftwerk LPs are 40 years old. So they are all 60+

[GanEdenAustralia]

Rabadik

[MrsSatan]

My mum told me he'd died, but I'm so relieved to see that he's alive and well and cheeky :D

[Nagelbrett]

"how is the what....?"

:D

[FloorshowFilms]

Mentalist.

[milkygear]

hes so cool

[okkiejam]

hahaha funny

1:36

[komputerwelt]

HAHA!

Florian peeking killed me.

ICH LIEBE DICH FLORIAN

we love you wherever you are. kraftwerk or not.

[jorday10]

I miss classic Kraftwerk: ralf, karl, wolfgang, and florian. I even miss them more now that Florian left.

[Flur1]

Die classic Hutter Bartos Flur Schneider.

Agreed.

[Emyrsaurus]

ich spreche deutsch aber dennoch spreche ich SCHEIZE

[robotorb]

God, I LOVE Florian! :D

[SirHawkeyeWho]

Kraftwerk need you Florian!!!! ='[

[Bunjamin27]

More Florian, please :)

[eddie23a]

sack the interviewer, can't believe he didn't ask him about his apparent departure from Kraftwerk

[freakpower2008]

Great to see him again, looking well. All the best to you Florian.

[Starrysky812]

Oh well, all good things must eventually come to an end, so it is the same with Kraftwerk. This may be one of the first signs of the band slowly coming to a close. Florian contributed an amazing 40 years to KW, and I don't think it will ever be the same again without him.

Good luck on any future solo projects Florian! Perhaps even the return of the flute? :)

[soepil]

@Starrysky812 : That would be something ... ;-)



[tubeFXworm]

Solo project is the only project for such an individual.

[kKRAFTWERKk]

Florian..you are Kraftwerk! Come back we need you full time ;)

[lurynowicz]

We miss your solo in Music Non Stop! Regards to Stefan Pfaffe, but he is only a showroom dummy!!

[ScottishGeordie39]

This video just goes to prove what i've suspected for years...Kraftwerk are as nutty as squirrel shit, but god bless them, they are fantastic tunesmiths. Florian, cant you change your mind and go back to your day job??

[ArtistIreland]

Interesting video.

[metawaves]

Great Florian!

[rafalexpx]

Florian is so funny!

i miss him  =(

[djmixsound]

too bad he left kraftwerk...

it could have been beautiful for always, but... that's life :(
