[TheTweeker79]

[grossstadtnacht]

"...you know?" - "No."

[Holzklotz]

German stereotype... just great! :D

[comsunjava]

"we blew a lot of loudspeakers with that, you know" Too funny..

[andrewcramer13]

look...why don't you just go shove some brat's down your dry german throat. when your done I've got some organizing and alphabetizing for you. you filthy sausage peddling german

[TurbeenBeatz]

No im going to eat pizza tonight and you?

[andrewcramer13]

typical german...obsessive compulsively planning EVERYTHING.

[TurbeenBeatz]

YES im planning everything. Im a ROBOT! The absolut perfect Man Machine in a Computer World. Cold, hard, flawless, no human.

[andrewcramer13]

hahaha your funny. its a shame you only get your own sarcasm and not others

[TurbeenBeatz]

What you think about Kraftwerks Music?

[andrewcramer13]

I love it. one of my favorite groups. the telephone call is beautiful

[Stromschlag]

Spackenlappen

[andrewcramer13]

hitler messed with the collective german psyche so bad that now 70 years later they still cannot compute sarcasm

[russallert]

No, they are not musical Nazis. Ralf certainly acts like an ultra-capitalist at times. Check out Flür's book - he and Bartos were in many ways the band's wage slaves with benefits (fame, groupies, etc.), and Ralf and Florian cheated Conny Plank out of his producer's royalties on Autobahn. And of course R&F tried to sue Flür over his book. Florian has now left, with Ralf carrying on with his employees. Rigid capitalist? Yes. Nazi? No way. They spoofed the stereotype, but that's about all.

[andrewcramer13]

musical nazis

[kratzda]

musical Nazis? Do you know what you are speaking from? What education is you's? Take a proper lesson, my dear.

best greetings,

Kratzda

[andrewcramer13]

no, what are you speaking of, nazi? what education has dick for speed and built for knock. take a proper lesson my dear, microwave your franks before you combine em with beans...

greetings, cottage cheese monster

[TurbeenBeatz]

another small-brain american who thinks all germans are still nazis XD

[andrewcramer13]

another painfully boring german brain that doesn't understand sarcasm

heil hitler!!

[TurbeenBeatz]

LOL whats your problem with kraftwerk??

[andrewcramer13]

they are musical and they are nazi's. that is all.

[TurbeenBeatz]

Why do you think they are nazis?? This makes no sense to me.

[andrewcramer13]

Why do you not understand sarcasm?? This makes no sense to me.

[agebee]

The Minimoog blews up the loudspeaker cabinet...HARHAR!YES!Kraftwerk and analog sound!

[kentmorita]

Could anybody tell me what cd I have? I got a kraftwerk cd, and it was called "minimum-maximum" but, unlike the cover art on the ones on the net, it has the memebers of kraftwerk with green suits on.

[WolfgangAmadeusF]

Lol,the analog sound destroyed american speakers:)Good interview

[BigLouieLittlePhilly]

on acid 24/7

[bulletz4life]

lol i was only born in like 1993, but my dad bought the album the man machine in about 1980, and we still have it today, works like a charm, lol awesome songs

[Greendayrocks789]

lol awesome, i was born in 1993 too!

[tfal23]

Ve hef veys to make you talk...

[AnalogX64]

He seems to be one of the more open and talkative of the original band.

[nakanda]

.

he's great, handsome and talented!

one of the best part of kraftwerk when he was part, sure...

but solo works are awesome!

.

[crazymorph86]

I love that guy, funny accent :D

[roberttoddtv]

class interview how interesting. wish there was a full length english kraftwerk interview of that quality you know like a 1 and a half hour one.

[Nagelbrett]

well, I´ve uploaded a longer interview with Wolfgang Fluer and Karl Bartos.

[roberttoddtv]

sweet i'll check it out. just reading this guys book at the moment its rather good

[GingerTig]

Kraftwerk music is as fresh and relevant today as it was all those years ago. No one has come close to emulating their unique sound - long may they continue ! (And they are still very good looking guys !)

[Tabascofanatikerin]

You're goddamn right :)

I agree with you.

[electrogirl2000]

I agree with both of you.

[installcd]

maybe they were good and new before... but today they are decent at best.

[ooooohpancakes]

agreed and agreed

[DieMenschMaschine85]

Didn't age bad.

[bunglezip]

mr moog is owed alot too!

[oxygene65]

I wish I had the full version of this interview. Kraftwerk are the only electronic band who have stuck to their style. They were way ahead of their time. To the point where they were getting live sets at raves in the 90's. Their music will never age. Its futuristic, but also retro, for everyone who loves that pure analogue electronic sound. There will never be another Kraftwerk.

[elvate]

Kraftwerk succes is revealed here bu Flur: The colored neon lights in the stage!

[Fluxional]

blow away the speakers.

die deutschmaschine lebt.

[elsoda]

MORE PLEASE MORE!!!

[dklayproduktionz]

I totally agree....Afrika Bambatta stole Kraftwerk's style and came up with "Planet Rock" ..which introduced old school hip hop producers to the drum machine.

KRAFTWERK were WAY ahead of their time...all of us producers owe everything thing to these german pioneers.

Peace,

Don

[LAWLFINNY]

LOLOMG! They blew the speakers! XDD

I like Wolfgang, though Ralf and Karl are my favorites. The German accent is definitly the best!

Thus the main reason why I can't stop listening to their song 'The Model', or 'Das Modell', either way it sounds good. I love it! ;)

[TFilmsLtd]

Wolfgang is super-human!

[Akhiloth]

He is a Man-Machine.

[WRTYIO]

Interesting, nice bloke too.

[Zeitgeist74]

Ze German accent ist ze best accent.....in ze entire velt! :)

[saturnoboy]

you're fantastic musician

[saturnoboy]

the first electronic drummer!!!

[edisonoside]

The world of dance music and hip hop owe a great deal to this guy for his funky rhythms and beats.

[lambdaphage]

nice! Thanks for the vid!

[HarryPotter87]

He speaks good English!

[hermitcleric]

Don't use Minimoogs on guitar amps, you know?
