[cgc1997]

@JrNapalm he's a british DJ and he was trying to be mildly amusing in the way he said it, in his shit Steve Wright (the DJ) German voice. All clear?

[freshborn66]

[ErofeevRoman]

amazing sound,

эта версия автобана просто сносит башню

[rebelspirit1000]

That's German Engineering for you! Great group of friends and colleagues. Brilliant minds.

[lys84]

Les précurseurs en matière de son électro pop, je suis née dans les années 80 et je n ai pas connu la carrière de kraftwerk, mais ils ont fait de super morceaux :)

[JrNapalm01]

I'm German and this is so funny.

American can not speak German xD

[sparky4444444444444]

@JrNapalm01

Thats a British person xD

[andrewkgsmith]

@JrNapalm01

The show British, I'm ashamed to say, so he probably is too. I cringed when I heard him pronounce that.

[puterzhome]

TOSH

[oilotnoM]

143 people should be autoban

[cuerpoeperra]

Important as Johny BACH some years ago!!!!

[monkeysdemons]

[Agnus78]

Classic! Regards from Poland :)

[wandov8]

Minimoog!

[soklapptdasnie]

Steve Wright seems to think there's a new type of umlaut in 'Werk'.

[alexandre932140]

Impressionante! Eram visionários, sem dúvida! Thank you Kraftwerk!

[elloboenlapuerta]

[ttben77240]

Fantastic !

[Ograws]

These guys should be proud of themselves for their legacy they have left

[dmace81]

fucking gods

[stush52]

Where's Karl Hungus? I think Maude is full of it.. Oh, let me guess, he's fixin the cable?  Are these guy's really nihilist's?

[Randomusername1507]

That's the first time I've seen florian smiling. The rest of the time he looks at you like a robot (part of the act I suppose).

[capricorn3zz]

God of Sex!!!!

2:14

[EMDSD40LocoDash2]

Florian smiling at 2:14 made my day!

[Freshpinguin]

those crazy germans

[UGLandrum]

is it me or did these guys invent the precursor to electric drums?

[TheMrANNA]

otobaaan xD love how The americans pronounce it =) ♥

[kjurko1]

Fantastic, look at those drums, why my generation doesn't have those flash of creative genius

[lewisner]

@kjurko1 Probably because most of this kind of stuff has already been invented? And nowadays you have multinational companies with teams of experts looking for new things.

[Solarexistence]

Most underrated musicians ever

[vato432]

@Solarexistence - Most appreciated musicians ever

[vato432]

@Solarexistence Most appreciated musicians ever, just check how many tracks sampled Kraftwerk.

[colpo175]

141 people lost the brain..

Kraftwerk are true legends

[Erisc]

2:16 Hütter gave a smile...you will see it only once.

[Trainsirenguy]

@Erisc It's not a Ralf Hütter, its Florian Schneider.

[Erisc]

@Trainsirenguy

You're right...my mistake!

[AtomicRooster77]

Now that's what I call German Engineering!!!

[peterikarlstad]

The teutonic Beatles.

[wandov8]

wow!!! unbelievable!

[jrmetmoi]

Data's distant relatives LOL

[twazzercheese]

I read a later interview that the comment about a Jacket synth was Kraftwerk pulling the interviews leg. They do have a sense of humour

[MrBeachy64]

If you like Kraftwerk and 'Autobahn'. Check out my remix in my videos.

[MultiZebra101]

sm:)e



[waXsurf]

The electronic drums you see are build by them self. That tells me they know about how electronics work^^

[Kolenschopper]

These guys are true poineers.

Thanks to them we get to enjoy the new gods of techno like Aphex twin, squarepusher and Music.

And btw, this is as techno as it can get radioguyuk.

[heatherstub]

I remember listening to the original recording of this in July 1975 in England, and it made me dizzy. It actually scared me! How funny is that? Of course, I was only 10 then, so I'd llove to hear it again and see what my reaction is. I love this group!

[feepque]

2:16 PEDOFACE!!!

[spillerxxxxx]

1975. . . . .. .

[riffnark]

Kraft-Verrrk lol

[radioguyuk]

some time ago, I met an idiot who was convinced that this is techno music, how ignorant is that

[p4ddythehelipilot]

@bertietalcott97 A bit random lol

[Weaponseeker]

ic find das lied einfach sheiße xD

fragt sich,wieso sich kein deutscher dazu äußert :o

[madskull64]

crap

[mattlove1]

How are those electronic lapels working out for you guys?

[0st3rh4s3]

oh god... OH GOD.... thats awful O.o

zum abschied sag ich leise die musik ist scheisse...

ANGERFIST 4 EVER!!!!

[townheadfury]

Whats the speed limit on the autobahn?

[jmrocker]

@townheadfury Really (jw)? There isn't one.

[MickeyKnox]

@townheadfury there is NO speedlimit on the Autobahn ... at least on most of them :)

[TheModCon]

@MickeyKnox There are, most sections of the Autobahn have a speed limit, atleast most of the bits I've been on.

[MickeyKnox]

@TheModCon like I said ... parts with and parts without speed limit (construction sites do not count ;) )

[twint9]

@townheadfury there is no speed limit. you can drive as fast as you like.

[TB26111958]

they are masters!

[ml2001]

GodFathers of Electronic music since the 1970s.....

[Airsoftsouth11]

2:20 gives me the creeps lol

[ctrlzjones]

what are highways against autobahnen...

nothing. speeeed & killin' is a german drug. even when repressed.

ah,you gringos tried to ... copy them ... so much ...

ex_2nd_worldwar_specialists have taken control of cocacola publicity a long time ago.

and now: see where it leads to: printing money to fill the budget holes, just like before. you've learned nothing.

while germans are still the greatest repressed speeders in the world ...

even when it's export time.i don't even care liking it or not

[eledol]

136 people are ill

[beastieboy3455]

drum thing is legit

[Christiansoldiering]

They were way ahead of their time, and had a lot of imagination too. This vid is indeed a classic one.

[youbedie]

LOL he says kraftweirck otobaan XD dabei heißt es Autobahn und Kraftwerk

[chompypunk890]

Ode to the beetle, bocho, fusca...and many many other alias in different countries around the world for the Wolskwagen Beetle. This is the homenage from the fathers of the electronic music!

[kramyelir]

kraftwerk=krazy krauts love 'em!

[HotRodder42]

Kraftwerk were so ahead of their time!

[sfdallator]

@HotRodder42 Yeah, for some reason I think Animal Collective, the difference is that AC are more psychedelic and freaking awesome. Kraftwerk sure did lay the ground work for electronic music!

[Christoph21y]

My God... where did you dig this out?? I remmeber well.... I was deeply impressed...and still I AM

[GEORGbyAMG]

Kraftwerk is the BEST nice VIDEO !!!

[DataCollaborate]

The people that dont like Kraftwerk have a small weener or are FAKING DUMB LOOSERS AND WILL NEVEFR HAVE A REAL LIFE .....I SAID KRAFTWERK ARE THE BEST THAT HAS THE LAST HUNDRED OF YEARS GIVEN!!!

Please think of ur favourite artist.........then think .....without Kraftwerk ur Artist....will never lived and the music they created has nebver come out .....THANK KRAFTWERK for there HEART of ELECTRONIC ..U DUMBA**

[GBZ10TROY]

Quite a brilliant tune. I listen to it constantly and it always seems fresh and new. A true classis.

[wastedweekendwarrior]

absolutely perfect synth...and all the instruments made by them selves....how can you question perfection#

[MaximusRelaximus]

lol, eliminate the keyboards with a jacket! kraftwerk just said a giant FUCK YOU to everybody who whined about music becoming too mechanized and went batshit crazy in the other direction...and made it work! (though i'm not sure about the jacket-synth)... mad props.

[baldy1]

erd this when i was 15, im 46 now...tricky dicky

[slashmole]

what ever happened to the keyboard/jacket spoken about at the end of the video?

[joedivision1992]

2:16 scares the shit out of me

[biscuitchannel]

my mate said kraftwerk aren't in tiesto's league. wow

[LiNaK37]

@biscuitchannel Different genres...

[biscuitchannel]

@LiNaK37 he said it in a way like "tiesto are so much better than kraftwerk" lolol

[quidnick]

133 conformists visited this page.

[Citadin]

de zoundz agh kreeated in Dusseldorf.

[offthelinegt]

id buy a jacket with electronic lapels!!! Kraftwerk 4ever!!

[ultimatenerd22]

what car was used at the beginning?

[njitram00000]

@ultimatenerd22 Ralf's VW Beetle, the other car on the 'new' sleeve is Florians Mercedes

[Tampalocators]

Kraftwerk were so far ahead of the music world, primitive as it was, at that time. People can look back at them now and snicker but these were serious musicians who integrated art with technology like no one had ever seen. Impressive and still cool after all these years.

[PRINCIPEDEISOGNI74]

magnifici!!!

[nik1969100]

Do we need all the pissing commentary?

[biggi3lue]

the destruction of creativity is partially our fault. Back in the 80s, the market could sustain 50+ artists who just want to be creative, and yet make millions. Unfortunately britney spears was their solution, and now he have justin bieber

[JeffroTV]

They actually play.... I like how rappers, producers, and whatever use a computer and beats and they are called musicians....give me a break!

[midi6868]

@MomoTheBellyDancer

definately xD

[TKTrav]

I miss back when musicians were geniuses.

[Kiste1993]

@TKTrav I too!!!! This is EPIC and timeless

[DowFuckinJones]

@TKTrav how can you say that some of the newer bands like Royksopp and Daft Punk aren't geniuses? but yet i agree with you, musical genius is very rare now days

[seedogreed]

@TKTrav They still are, but unrecognized in the myre ....

[hippotoast]

@TKTrav They still exist, you just have to stop being lazy and search for them a little more than you used to.

[manmaas]

'Re-created on stage with the minimum of fuss'. I doubt it given this was all analogue!

[humanista2009crb]

que antigua tecnologia !!!

[Fenris857]

thanks to my dad...i own an 45 single in MINT condition.........danke Papi!

[bassmajor]

Good performance but the sound mix is garbage

[MomoTheBellyDancer]

It's fun to see Bartos play that famous wobbly bass drum pattern. Schneider's smile is golden in its creepiness as well.

[lucio788]

EPIC

[2spooky4]

Saw them playing this live at the Cardiff Capitol, September 1975. Also, 2 years ago in Sydney.

[013235064891]

IF ROGER FEDERER EVER QUITS TENNIS

[kynoceph]

I want my jacket with "electronic lapels that can be played by touch."

[machiner6]

@kynoceph that might be interesting if combined with their modern "EXpo 2000" outfits.

[daylon1240Bloodshot]

lol I love that scary smile he gives

[skeletonange]

gaygaygayg :D

[modgemtb]

@skeletonange wtf

[trimmytrab]

Groundbrweaking, yes but now sounding very outdated

[biscuitchannel]

@trimmytrab its 1975!

[trimmytrab]

@biscuitchannel Im (very) late 30s so 1st knew of these round about 'The Model' in 1982, I thought the music was great and still thought they sounded fresh but as you say many moons ago now

[TheMrANNA]

haha how he say oottoobaannn XD

[machiner6]

why is Ralf have his mouth so close to the mike? That looks weird.

[CaraAsoleada]

who can't like all their quirky sounds? great sound effects, as always Germans are expressing their great capability of creating music from the computer.

[ALXXMaXX]

"Data's distant relatives".

I always had a feeling they were androids... :D

[DABEARS1088]

early DEVO

[dizzyisme]

if you think about it, kraftwerk is just a bunch of really smart nerds lol. really smart nerds that somehow make good music.

[Lonestarry]

@dizzyisme that's right, dizzisme - just like the movie Revenge of the Nerds.

[dizzyisme]

@Lonestarry never seen that movie but i'll take your word on it, haha. well these nerds are pretty genius

[Plexpara]

@dizzyisme:

you know nothing about kraftwerk.they are no nerds.they use drugs and lot of woman.just like other "rockstars".

one of them write a biography.

[jrmetmoi]

@Plexpara SERIOUSLY??? Are you sure that one of them, Wolfgang, isn't gay?

[jrmetmoi]

@dizzyisme Like Devo

[WizardofFuzz]

it's always fun to hear brits pronouncing german words... KRAFTWÜRG!!!

[Praetor69]

@WizardofFuzz LOL !

[mdccobra]

Thanks Germany for Kraftwerk! They are the pioneers of modern dance! Genius!

[flavia9860]

desde adolesent aprendi a gostar deles e m praser telos novamente tinha eu os discos em vinil mas foram roubadas eles sao maravilhosos.flavia goiania go brasil

[TelfLad]

douchebags

[POLSTEADPAUL]

The Germans should be proud of these Guys they are and will always be AWESOME!

[Praetor69]

@POLSTEADPAUL Of course we are proud of them !

[WaltDog1281]

I can see why these guys influenced Devo so much.

[TheUmbrella5]

Realistically

, germany wants to move away from robotic living, .....

[TheEmceehero]

kraftwerk are the best !! who would of thought of being a techno bands in the 60's and 70's

[horstb29]

Not to take away from the remake, like we hear on the Minimum Maximum Album, but it is nice to hear the original version too.

[CollinDWalkerw]

heifühl mich irgendwie allein..:( will einer mit mir schreiben hab auch bilder und so

[sexhaie]

machine music? thats abit more interesting then electronica ha

[Rouge454]

Florian's smile just made my day.

[Galaxian7000]

Why are the drumsticks wired to the console? Are they acting as mics?

[TheModCon]

@Galaxian7000 They're wired to complete the circuit when the stick head touches the pad :)

[Galaxian7000]

Aha! Thanks man.

[bilibramboy]

Is like in any moment the Doctor is gonna appear with his sonic screwdriver... amazing .

[flowerlove79]

True! A lot of those sounds could just as easily have been the TARDIS whizzing around somewhere.

[phsycospacezilla]

How come the keyboard is not as good as the album version?

[poptarts47]

cause its live and there is back noise they use a conditioner to get rid of the feedback and humming noises

[yootoobah1]

yeah

[nolanb21]

Is Ralf's second keyboard polyphonic?

[Somesubjekt]

yes!

[SirHawkeyeWho]

Steve Wright is such a tool. Say it properly you idiot *rolls eyes*

The four fo them are so beautiful =]

*sigh* Florian's Hands <3

[tinaturntable]

Ralph was hot!

[TheFiatLux]

keyboard sounds like shit

[dongtingwong]

I remember listening to this on my quadrophonic stereo in 1975.

[linara21]

@dongtingwong I remember hearing it and thinking "what the fuck is this,where are the guitars ?"

[mindingosafado]

@dongtingwong i hope i have an experience like that before im dead

[Coldacre]

love it! 'eliminating keyboards completely and build jackets with electronic lapels that could be played by touch'! definitely Ralf Hutter humour going on there.

[afficionado2004]

Personally, one of the five more influential bands in modern music!

[stramurto]

@afficionado2004

Kraftwerk, Black Sabbath, Pink Floyd, Beatles, The Who.

[joshingledew]

as if you put black sabbath before the beatles!!! :O

[theonefromsve412]

and maybe except of the beatles the most influence one : elvis presley
