[akubattcamaleof]

this reminds me a Crash Bandicoot soundtrack

[TheSeligratSkater]

Que mal rollo, ¿no? xD

[123must]

Thanks

[DJeZT3R]

я твой слуга, я твой работник

[ScrewWormBaby]

I LOVE Kraftwerk! They friggin' great!! 

[TheGreysagenda]

I love how they perform this! creeppy as fook

[keyboardjeff]

This is one of my favourites from kraftwerk!

[lupascos]

marvellous!

[WRI2012]

So far ahead of their time 78 wasn't ready for Kraftwerk but the 2000's certainly are.

[dracowar]

I'm 25 and I like it!

[sean2me]

I love their early stories of how they used to blow up speakers because nothing was made for the sound they were creating. Truly ahead of their time!

[Zzyyxxyyxx]

Ahhh...so this is what the Kraftwerk live experience is like. FUN!!!

[FissionNonStop]

OMG THEY LOOK SO REAL

[RuRulanlan]

「クラフトワーク」

何て　素晴らしい　音　でしょう。

この　音楽は　どんな　楽器　から　出来て　いるのでしょう。

素晴らしい！

機械の　音楽　ですが、自然と　耳に　なじむ。

英語が　解らないのが　悔しいです。



[funlovingreek2008]

Do these guys really sing like robots or Are they using some kind of synthetic sound?

[nilaya87]

@funlovingreek2008 silly question. of cause they are humanoid robots.

[funlovingreek2008]

@nilaya87 Humanoid robots?

hmmm...

[nic1357]

@funlovingreek2008 its a vocoder, obviously.

[funlovingreek2008]

@nic1357 And how do they put vocoder on a microphone?

because you can hear them sing but in a robotic voice

[alkleiza1995]

@funlovingreek2008 omg that was the stupidest comment anyone could've EVER made on this video.

[funlovingreek2008]

@alkleiza1995 What you mean by that?

[gatacarinhosa1]

EU ADORO KRAFTWERK ESTE GRUPO ´É O MAST.MARCIA13/10/2011.

[Karmoon7]

This is my favourite version of all time.

I heard this when I was so young that it permeated into my soul or something. I feel comforted when i hear this, like i'm back in the womb or something. hahaha.

[Sails470]

I' ...... absolute Fun Kraftwerk! Thank you!

[gizzflow1]

wir sin die roboter!

[insignificus]

Kraftwerk have stood the test of time so well. Why? Because all great art does.

[IvanDimitrijevic100]

suuupeeer!

[69liverpoollad]

I first heard this in the early 80s and I still love it..

[MrTarryhoot]

weird then, weird now.

love it

[spamstoper3]

5*****

[proveitdoit]

By mistake, I ran the video twice at the same time, it sounded nice. Now I listen one video at a time, it's boring...

[dewarrat5]

igor !!!

[Tarnavchik]

@dewarrat5 тонет.

[quangluu96]

I like this robots better than the modern man robots. :D

[gogglygogol45]

[ValeraTerror]

лучшая песня

[TheJediCharles]

6 people have a bad servo.

[TheWheelofLife100]

This is freaking me out.

[mindstormsabrewin]

What a passionate performance!

[abcdefg1234629]

Wow listen to this and then listen to the other version by eden synthetic corps huge difference between generation

[minigolfer101]

"we are the tounge roll-bots"

[fgfdsfgfds]

I want Ralf to be my "слуга".

[KelwinDicks666]

Respond to this video...

[TheWacked666]

awesomee tuune

[hellraiserbsb]

Aprendi o que era música eletrônica com essa banda.

[pitkanencomplex]

I find myself utterly speechless before this song. Hopfully all the generations to be hear this!

[DQBlizzard168]

[abcdvitamin]

Impecable!!!!!!!!!

[Jupiterx5]

Are those dolls or people, I saw them blink, im so impressed how lifeless they are!

[fabiolaganivet]

Los reyes de la música electronica!

[den0r0x]

1978?? i thought it was 1977 0.o .. watever haha

[michele4805]

kraftwerk una parola sola vuol dire i padri della musica elettronica senti che robetta che te facevano negli anni 70 adesso con tutto quello che c,e nessuno riproduce i suoni che facevano loro

[Rockvoxxx]

Can you imagine people seeing this for the first time? back in the 70's when everything was bloated guitar solos and guys in bell bottom jeans and T shirts on stage?...People must have been like "WHAT THE FUK is THIS"? SOOOO AWESOME!

[offthelinegt]

@Rockvoxxx Indeed .. Andy McCluskey of OMD pretty much said that word for word haha

[TrainmasterCurt]

Vir sind die roboter!

[alligatoah69]

@zatzen

you better be trolling

[socratesjr]

i wonder what kind of groupies these guys got. they would probably make Marilyn Manson's groupies seem normal.

[nowheremanxxi]

Valgame dios... mientras medio mundo iba al Studio 54, bailaban la estúpida musica disco e imitaban los pasos de Travolta, estos tipos llegados de otra galaxia y poniendo en escena una imagen muy de avanzada nos daban lo que hoy gracias a estos robots llamamos música.

En verdad para quienes amamos la música electrónica y el synthpop estos tipos son y serán nuestros dioses.

LAGA VIDA... KRAFTWERK

[SL1999]

COMO HACEN PARA QUEDARSE TAN QUIETOS...?

[rw3asj]

классика

[pepestropajo]

So ..this was electronica in 1978"... AND STILL BEING ELECTRONICA TODAY!!! :)

[MagicFingersJCC]

does anyone know what florian is playing in this video?

[josealachan]

Magnificent

[Rockhound6165]

This is so bad that ti's awesome.

[zezevideo]

Show, muito show...

[Hutchie25]

oh my god; awesome. kraftwerk is my heart!

[isaidmurder]

The one guy looks like spock from star trek

[theprince65]

When Electronica was still human......

[MrSteelBear]

This original version is extremely much better than the "new" version from "The Mix" (1991). This is a "Robot-song" the new version is a "Pop-song".

[64carlone]

Sempre fantastici

[GuzmanSher2]

great stuff right here

[wowan0812]

это не всем дано понять эту музыку....Я нашёл спустя 30 лет и очень рад!!!! С пасибо интернету и пользователям,которые сохракнили это чудо...У кого есть  полная версия поделитесь!!!!!!Буду крайне признателен!!!!!!!!В ответ Дружба и общение!!!:):):):):)

[kentmorita]

Just noticed French T.V. in the 80s is one of the best music shows ever! Their music videos are of highest quality...

[timelabor]

I was in a Kraftwerk Concert in 1982 in Frankfurt Germany..

I will never forget this cool performance!

[guidedbyangels13]

awesome..

[fulviolonghi]

wow... florian don't blink! aws

[Rookycastle22]

lol, they don't make music like this anymore

[kazuma5998]

このリズムがすごくいい！！今の曲には無いものがあるね。

[hellhenriques]

I've discovered this group very late. 4 weeks ago. I am 40 now... I am so ashamed.... Now I listen to this song all the time... I am a robot !!!! We are the robots !!! Kraftwerk 4 ever ! Now I am Kraftwerk #1 fan !!!!

[jfisherman]

Awesome song and video. A classic.

[ybot1983]

[Lacrimosa12]

[fietsframexyz]

[arsenal94viki]

[dirtystonerhippie]

that was fucking awesome!!! this music is werid but i love it...

[pacopelae]

fantastic

[HarryBlach]

are they using wax models or just acting

[bessadale]

Both. They use plastic models on some scenes and act themselves as robots on others.

[NIQNick]

@HarryBlach

Neither. They are robots. Did you not hear the song?

[HarryBlach]

what is that rack behind karl and wolfgang with the clock ontop

[armalyte]

drum sound brainbank- a la simmons kit- and possibly some kind of sequencer.

[MrKraftwerk1]

THis is a really cool video, I have all of their songs on my iPod!!

[gaywitches4aborshun]

WE ARE THE ROBOTS.

WE ARE THE ROBOTS.

WE ARE THE ROBOTS.

WE ARE THE ROBOTS,

Wow, you say that enough and you start to believe it...

[wgaule]

Are they miming or singing live?

Ha ha, just kidding, great video

[HarryBlach]

they are actually singing live

[wgaule]

I do hope you are joking, I know this is the version on Man Machine! That's why it's silly that they are miming as they are not even human voices.

[HarryBlach]

i know theyarew put through some kind of voice distorter/ changer seyquencer

[DJPIGG]

Awesome!

Thanks for uploading this.

[avinashmeetoo]

This is close to perfection.

[Hellamar]

gr8

[zarcon85]

fantastic performance...i've seen a few, even this song live on tv, when i was a kid...had an impact on me like nothing else...!

[btcomp101]

It is good to know that I am not alone in this.

[erickulfr]

perfekt

[prodzprodz]

probably beacose asimov wrote robot rules. i´m not shure

[mctali]

does anybody know why they saying in russian?

[80sfaan]

ja tvoi sluga(Я твой рабский)=i am your slave

ja tvoi rabotnik(Я твой работник)=i am your worker

[mctali]

i know what does it mean i just wonder why it's in Russian and not in German or English..and you wrote sluga wrong in Cyrillic :)

[80sfaan]

Yup, i got the Cyrillic from a translator and the pronounciations from a lyrics website. ty for your comment!

[mctali]

рабский is really slave but they are saying Sluga which is like someone who working for you for money.Never mind i know my quastion was kinda stupid but they are German lol

[Avelachim]

They trying to say that pepole in ussr was automatic slaves

[mctali]

oh i didn't think about it that way...THAT IS SO RIGHT!

[Alco0ne]

@80sfaan No, that's not correct.

Я твой слуга (ya tvoy sluga) - I'm your servant

Я твой работник (ya tvoy rabotnik) - I'm your worker

[aagloworks]

Because russian suits well to the theme of the song, and the word "robot" comes from russian language

[mctali]

really? i had no idea..i though it's american word.

[Matthikue]

TECHNO... :-)

[CrazyBobos]

Electronic actually... I heard.

[dbox70]

This was what you call ground breaking -without kraftwerk hip hop would not have started till the early ninties

[kauulitzgirl]

=S Scary ... xd

[Rafalexp]

amazing song!!! kraftwerk is the best electronic band in the universe!!

[jman5one5piece]

no the #1 spot still belongs to Daft Punk #2 is Kraftwerk

[BurnWitchBurn]

@Rafalexp well, the universe is quite big...

[maraujo1984]

"So ..this was electronica in 1978"... AND STILL BEING ELECTRONICA TODAY!!! Kraftwerk rules forever!!! :)

[AnalogVocoder1]

Sennheiser Vocoder VSM201

[AnalogVocoder1]

My bad, NOT the Sennheiser Vocoder VSM201, BUT the EMS Studio-System Vocoder 5000!!!

monopole. ph. qmw. ac. uk/~thomas/synthdiy/EMS VOCODER 5000.htm

[giali76]

what these guys were doing 30 yrs ago is impossible for actual electronic music "stars" to do. unique sound.

[amespektorwainwright]

you should check some bands from the 60s too... amazing. a friend of my brother found some recordings of first "electronic tests", in music, from like the 50s and stuff. sick

[Tabascofanatikerin]

How come Wolfgang Flür's name doesn't appear on the screen?

Anyway: Kraftwerk rule and they will ever rule :)

[1986abc]

Weil Hütter, Schneider und Bartos "Die Roboter" komponiert und getextet haben. Manchmal sieht man in Kraftwerk-Videos auch den Namen 'Schult', obwohl Emil Schult nur kurz als Gitarrist Mitglied war, war er später für die besten Songs als Texter zuständig.

[Tabascofanatikerin]

Ich verstehe. War nur etwas irritiert. Danke :)

[tubechango]

their clothes are quite nascist

[stefanofiorucci]

Great Song.

I prefer JMJ, but also Kraftwerk are great!

:D
