Kraftwerk - Heavy Metal Kids

[TheStargazer355]

wow this is awesome!

[speedstriker]

Pure genuine.

[sinepressorggithcir]

Unglaubliche Atmosphäre! Verdammt geil !!

[schnitzelzumessen]

amaizing that all watchers here write english and no german comment to see.

Kraftwerk is from Germany and noone listen ..

[HungryGreeny]

How dub step started

[MakinaDeMuerte]

@HungryGreeny Man... listen to radioactive.

[dev3n]

This sounds like Leslie West when he's running wild! Heavy shit

[BandWagon1987]

I kind of liken this to Picasso's Rose period before he went Cubist. Both a demonstration of more traditional acumen before defining a totally new form of expression of their own.



[MrEvanbooker]

This sounds like "Von Himmel Hoch"

[34t34tgf]

this sounds like fucking kyuss

[clevhaus]

@34t34tgf You mean Kyuss sounds like this?

[TheSemjonoff]

Kraftwerk and Black sabbath... I think it would be awesome!!!

[vilicit]

Around 1:28 is where the kids come out to play.

[reallylongusername12]

It's so psychadelic man.

[TheGrasshopper444]

i kept thinking of walle in the beginning

[Kraehe]

Hm, am I hearing some riffs from "Hallogallo" in there?

[canAbass122]

Sounds like ozzy got some of his influence for Iron man!!!!

[67675656565655656565]

@canAbass122 iron man came out in 70 idiot this came out in 71

[mijmijrm]

@canAbass122 if anything, Ozzy (or rather, Black Sabbath) got the influence for Iron Man from 21st Century Schizoid Man (King Crimson)

[lGalaxisl]

Gimme a K gimme a R gimme an A gimme (...) gimme  KRAFTWERK

[RitualeSatanas]

Kraftwerk is IMMENSE.

[anstup]

In my dreams I hear Kraftwerk & LedZeppelin jam session

[Diruadvanced20]

...wtf?

[emmetwebster]

Throbbing Gristle definitely listened to this

[HeidiLandRover]

Go Michael!

[needstoregister]

pocket calculator beep boop

[mutepg58]

You guys all need to STFU and listen to the music.

[chroniclerofthe70s]

@TheDiddlysquat I called your comments moronic not you, fool. The 70s are all around us in over 100 movie remakes, vintage 70s fashion stores, music, and TV shows. More films from the 70s have won oscars. Most 70s bands are legendary. You wouldn't even be on the internet if not for the microprocessor, PC, and TCP internet protocol invented in the 70s.

[earthless1990]

@chroniclerofthe70s this must be a quote of hymn to 70s

[chroniclerofthe70s]

@TheDiddlysquat You didn't answer my question and I'm not German, fool. Your name fits you well since you know diddly squat.

[gombie]

Quite interesting that this is '71 and the riff/guitar is pretty Heavy Metal... And the song-title does not refer to heavy metal music. Never thought that Kraftwerk would have made something that sounds like this.

[chroniclerofthe70s]

@TheDiddlysquat And what Burt Reynolds film would that be? Answer the question or keep your moronic comments to yourself.

[Silmarillyon]

löl,  full metal technöö ! genial

[PunkManization]

Youtube sei Dank. Wir können wieder richtig gute Musik hören. Wow, was für ein Sound!

[VJFranzK]

wow, you'd almost never know this was KW ;-) except perhaps for the intro?

[maslaqone]

Highly industrial. Great. ;)

[dejahthoris]

Wow I have been a great kraftwerk lover since the early 70s and had never heard this b4- ROCK N ROLL!!!

[nelsonextremo]

fuck..this is music...

[bauhaus85]

photo on the cover by Heinrich Heidersberger (1906-2006). it's the Volkswagen factory in Wolfsburg. taken in 1971.

@bauhaus85 well, thanks! I love it and was wondering...

[kyliroth]

[BBQFanNo1]

Woooohooooo!!! This Rocks!!!!!

[bootboydenmark88]

One word -"PORNO-RIFF-IC" :-)

[theillfrisch1]

the acceleration at the ending reminds me of the velvet underground song heroin

[theillfrisch1]

i havent heard anything 1971 or earlier heavier than this song.

[PinkFloydrulez]

i wish i could get a guitar tone that sick ugh

[glitchtoast]

I got stuck at less or equal to Autobahn. This is music.

[Jinsai]

why the hell would anyone compare The Rolling Stones to Kraftwerk without intentionally missing the point.

I just love music. I probably like Kraftwerk "more" than The Rolling Stones. They're both great bands though, and anyone who tells you otherwise is selling something. 

[fuckamericanidiot]

this could be kyuss, it's that similar

[MLGxSLasH]

fucking heavy

[4sternenstaub]

great song 

[mulicnik]

thumbs up if you ever head about Kraut rock before! This is a real music history of 60s and 70s.. fuck rolling stones, etc... This is real art.

[jasoncammy]

@mulicnik if you say fuck the rolling stones when trying to make a point no one cares about wat you have to say because your already proving your a closeminded motherfucker

[mulicnik]

@jasoncammy oh, i forgot.. they are the greatest rock band on earth, right? lol... gtfo..

[jasoncammy]

@jasoncammy i was just saying your a close minded fuckin peice of shit..........dick

[vitality91]

@mulicnik this is really fuckin' good! but it does not make Rolling Stones a bad band :D

[mulicnik]

@vitality91 i know, ofc.. but i'm so fuckin mad at some people that dont have a clue about real rock history.. i respect rolling stones, but name me one song that is so artistic, so raw and yet so beautiful as this... and tell me how many people do you personally know that can name you 5 kraut rock bans or even tell you "what it is" :)

[vitality91]

@mulicnik @mulicnik Well I live in germany so obviously I know people that can name 5 krautrock bands.

/watch?v=aykA1YCHSbk this rs song is artistic, raw and beautiful. but imo i dont want to compare these 2 very different bands

[Neurost]

@mulicnik this is fucking great music... but rolling stones are gods, men :/

[chroniclerofthe70s]

@Neurost I like the Stones, but Sabbath, Priest, Scorpions, and Priest can blow the doors off of the Stones and are the true Gods.

[chroniclerofthe70s]

@chroniclerofthe70s correction, Sabbath, Priest, Scorpions, and Maiden can blow the doors off of the Stones any day and are the true Gods.

[stormcats2]

@chroniclerofthe70s um ,, exactly which one of the bands in your wet dreams gives blowjobs to the DoORs?

[TrottaVonSipolje]

@mulicnik

Touché !

Art !

From the Stones I love exaclly one song: Out of Time ( a Cover)

But early Kraftwerk is the religion of my Life.

[kurtizzyflush]

@mulicnik Calm down Beavis. I've listened to both since high school daze in the 70's and don't worry which is or isn't "real art".

[HungryGreeny]

@kurtizzyflush Butthead, what are you doing here?

[kabeauregardajax]

@mulicnik fuck rolling stones? they were more of a danger to any establishment than your comment suggests, death devil drugs sex, underage drugs devil drugs sex all before 1968.. c'mon man!

[M0SSl]

@mulicnik

Hey dont fuck Rolling Stones xD

[FrenchGuitarist]

@mulicnik You don't fuck with rolling stones, bro. Even if they haven't released a good record since a very very very long time. And I forgot to mention Kraftwerk rules.

[usernameyoudick]

Nice! This is a new one on me!

[digitalmasterdata]

ohh myyy ! MISLEADING ONEEEEEE !! :(

[BahaVII]

I fucking love music

[xoefire]

kraftware the father of dm

[alcazu2000]

I never herad this people before and I got amazed!! Tx for hooked it.

[NotComingBack01]

I just re-opened my browser after it closed itself unexpectedly, and this started playing over the "Zorba the Greek" song. What. A. Trip.

[CoolGuy1943]

@Liam1993R

This is progressive rock in the early stages, originated from Germany, and in some way pushed the musical industry by their influential and experimental music. Without this, there probably wouldn't be Korn, Staind, Tool, Limp Bizkit etc. So please respect this music. It may be old and nonetheless weird and making of no sense at all, but they had developed the music industry to a whole new level, introducing new types of genres. People don't know because of the media's influence today

[sinknoodles]

This is some seriously badass music in it's own right. Don't think it really deserves to be credited with inspiring the mostly awful 90's self mutilation wigger-rock listed above.

[Liam1993R]

So are they saying that Heavy Metal is slow, repetitive and boring? Cos that's all I'm getting from the song.

[sjem618]

@Liam1993R

You suck dude.

[ArDaLarge]

@Liam1993R This is NOT heavy metal, thats just a part of the name of the song, this is KRAUTROCK , MOTORIK rythms, proto electronic music , you know...

[fuckamericanidiot]

@ArDaLarge really? so the fact that it sounds like what was being termed 'heavy metal' at the time and has 'heavy metal' in the title is purely coincidental then

[somethingyettocome]

Kraftwerk sounding like the Melvins...All makes sense...I was in Dusseldorf all the time when Keaftwerk made all their classic albums (between 1975 and 85 maybe,,,) That doesen´t have to mean anything to anybody else. Means a lot to me though. I just dig this music...Understand the atmosphere ambience...Germany in the 70ies , childhood memories, DNA...Just as I dig the Melvins, Black Sabbath...Suburbia, Alienation, Beauty....It´s all endless

[StereoInvasion]

Great, but indeed more like a Neu! recording than a Kraftwerk recording. Kraftwerk was mostly Ralf's doing, so it isn't really Kraftwerk without him. Interesting stuff nonetheless.

[TheWhiteShark100]

Can you get this? I wonder on which album you could find it?

[sonicpet]

@TheWhiteShark100

Yes, there's a five song bootleg called "K4 (Bremen Radio, 1971)".

[TheWhiteShark100]

@sonicpet

Thanks very much! I will try to get it...:)

[THRILLAKILLA187]

The Doctor Detroit Is Diggin this crazy shit love it! thanks to @kraftneu for this classic awesome share!

[GMPO2]

In which album is this song?

[2001Randomkid]

Mettalica crossed with some CRAZY germans

[caryllg]

ace!

[camicor1]

Í´ve been looking for this song all over the web , but i haven´t found it. ¿Where can i go to get it?

[camicor1]

[sheppar]

This sounds like Kyuss, 20 years before Kyuss, amazing !!!! Kraftwerk could have started the stoner rock genre 20 years early !!!!

[joebstarsurfer]

cool

[neocoders]

Haha Iron Man lives again (this time through Kraftwerk)

[schranztech]

Rubber Johnny =D

[alexnordh]

Its also available as a picture-vinyl with the traffic cone.

[Oudler]

DAMN! That was awesome!

[thecrimsonking187]

sounds little bit like primus ^^ .

[genesisrock43]

I love the idea that this is basically NEU with Florian schnieder's mysterious magic taking it to another level. Very interesting piece of music history!

[Sparrowhawk1161]

Whow! Sorry reminds me of Tangerine Dream???

Shed's new light on the Kraftwerk!

[electrokinesis]

The sound of the two greatest bands in the world combined, Kraftwerk and Black Sabbath. Kraftwerk doesn't receive enough credit for their Krautrock days. They influenced more than just Electronic music. When I hear the first three albums, I hear traces of Sonic Youth, Jon Spencer/Blues Explosion, U2; a lot of great Noise Rock in there.

[electrokinesis]

I AM IRON DUCK!

[Dragonking447]

begin sound like a miks bitween failing machines and farts

[phytatron]

My favorite electronica song! With Suicide's Ghostrider a close second

[menaceone509]

Reminds me of Iron Man

[rhyno4eva]

This is something you'd see in a Texas Chainsaw Massacre movie, dont ask me why its just i picture leatherface chasing someone to this...

[zzebeddy]

Thank you for giving us access to such a wonderful Kraftwerk rarity. Once again their position as pioneering wunderkinds of electronica is confirmed.

[velvetravyn]

Awesome song! I wonder what they used to get that angry snarling sound at the beginning.

[tie32101]

Sounds more like Vom Himmel Hoch. Probably is, just listed wronge on the title.

[tuffers37]

The distorted sound is actually a flute with bass guitar and drums. Who'd have thought!

[nachorangel]

Again with another Black Sabbath comment: "This sounds a mix between War Pigs and Iron Man's intro, maybe it was a source of inspiration, who knows?".

[noah2902976]

electro black sabbath :)))

[egillon92]

je ne connaissais pas ce morceau, superbe !

[dxxxx0000xxxxb]

I feel it...

[ayame80]

Wow! I have never heard Kraftwerk like that before. Amazing "guitar" sound.

[Plexpara]

@ayame80:kraftwerk start just like one of many german "krautrock" bands.but they want do something new and start to make music with electronic machines and noises and stuff like that.the rest we all know.

[dio333]

this is not fake! oh my god, these people...

[velyogendra108]

It does sort of sound like Black Sabbath. But I think it was before them. I wonder if Kraftwerk would have kept going in this direction, how they would sound now.

[DasGeschwir]

Sound quality is much too good to be from 1971. I don't believe this is Kraftwerk. Not thwir style either. I love them but that is fake. ...anyway, that's my opinion.

[smellyjonnie]

@DasGeschwir this is Kraftwerk it is not fake it was done during the pre Kraut Rock movement along the side of another great german band of that time CAN ....Kraftwerk played traditional instruments in the early years as ..later their goal was to produce music using non traditional instruments .....

[motorheaddylan]

KRAFT SABBATH

[depy222]

@motorheaddylan  hahhaahahahaha... exactly.... whatever

[Babaziba]

@motorheaddylan Exactly. "Iron Man", industrial space mix. Wonder if they'd heard it, it was released in '70.

[rezZZzz]

@motorheaddylan True, this sounded "close" to War Pigs at the begginning :D

[djamar318]

this shits badass

[alexnordh]

Many says that Karlheinz <Stockhausen was the major influence. But is it not rather american minimalism such as Steve Reich and Philipp Glass. On their later pre-autobahn works that is?

[NGineMusic]

kraftwerk sabbath :D

[theworldisthekiller]

WHATS DIS???? IM ONLY AT 1:48 AND HAVE NO CLUE IF I WAS MISTAKEN OR NOT LOLZZ SOUNDS COOL THOUGH

[BLSNunsWithGunsLJA]

i was hoping that this was heavy metal to be honest... not literally heavy metal like iron or lead.

[grappino11]

very very music

[xraycortina]

Thanks so much for posting this. Have recently been discovering early Kraftwerk and also some Neu!. Gives me odd cravings to go back to Germany for a while. Can't explain why, it just does.

[MeSoHorrrny]

this shit sounds like a cow mooing.

Justin Beiber is waaaaaaaaaaaaay, more talaneted than these guys who wrote music which has no dolby sound or computer effects. It's obsolete and silly to keep listening to this shit the way people do. I am amazed this is still on youtube and has so many hits. Justin Beiber is the most popular performer ever with tens of millions of hits, not in the single millions like these losers.

[lizs004]

@MeSoHorrrny Are you serious? Seriously. Kraftwerk are by far more talented than Justin Bieber. Let's put an order to this comment. Let's discuss first, Justin Bieber. You can say that Justin Bieber has some talent because he released his first full album at the age of 16. Only thing you can say that Kraftwerk couldn't do.

But in that album, Justin depends a lot on producers! You see in the songwriting credits that the song was written by him and then by two or three people more!

[lizs004]

@MeSoHorrrny (continuation of previous comment) And Kraftwerk only had two people writing the songs! And sometimes only one! And! Kraftwerk produced their own albums. So Justin couldn't make it to the charts by himself. Kraftwerk did. More than once. "My World 2.0" by Justin Bieber only got 4 stars (according to Allmusic). Kraftwerk, in more than one time, got 5 stars!!!!!! And go hear other tracks. "Autobahn", "Showroom Dummies", "The Model" (Rammstein even covered it...)

[lizs004]

@MeSoHorrrny (continuation) Kraftwerk influenced an entire generation of musicians! The awesome David Bowie, Depeche Mode, Franz Ferdinand, Simple Minds... All great perfomers who owe a lot to Kraftwerk. And there are just to name a few! And if you like Justin Bieber, you would probably like Jay-Z. Well, guess what? Jay-Z borrowed a riff from Kraftwerk! And in the 70's, synthesizers were new to the music market. Kraftwerk explored it! Kraftwerk did something new! Justin Bieber is just a copy.

[lizs004]

@MeSoHorrrny So, after four comments, I only have to say this.

Don't you dare even to think, that Justin Bieber has more talent than Kraftwerk. Don't you dare. Without Kraftwerk, Justin Bieber wouldn't have as much fame as he has now! You understand? Kraftwerk explored the whole synthesizers, sequencers... You hear "Baby", from Justin Bieber... He uses them A LOT. So don't you dare saying what you said. Do some research before you comment, OK? Thanks.

[MeSoHorrrny]

@lizs004 you wasted your time. i was only joking.

[lizs004]

@MeSoHorrrny I was bored. I normally don't answer comments like these.

[TrottaVonSipolje]

@MeSoHorrrny

Who do think you are to make such jokes ?

You are now responsible for my listening to that Bieber for a whole minute, because I didn´t know him and became curious.

[y3k23k]

24 people are retards

[MeSoHorrrny]

@y3k23k 25 ; )

[Fpockets]

awesome! Starts off slow then goes into a black sabbath sound then a jimi Hendrix sound. Heavy murhafucken metal man! Lol good find. Thanks for posting this!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[thundermuffin66]

This music is very Sabbathesque, but that's what was considered "alternative" in the early 70s. Plus, they only had so many electronic tools that they could experiment with back then. There was still the 60s hangover lingering.

[RitualDeath]

Very nice, couldn't help but think of "Iron Man" when the beat got started.

[SpikeMoby]

Not what I was expecting at all! Not being a Kraftwerk aficionado I wasn't really aware of this phase of the bands music.

Frickin' amazing!!!!

[SpikeMoby]

Not what I was expecting at all! Not being a Kraftwerk aficionado I wasn't really aware of this phase of the bands music.

Frickin' amazing!!!! 

[elohead]

Great stuff - I'd sooner have this than Led Zep to be honest!

[fademoney215]

Whoa ..... I can't find this on Frostwire. Hey if anyone sends me a DL file .... davidlack78@gmail .... I will extend you're kindness forward through the universe.

[Wanderlustus]

Ok, suspect. This is not Kraftwerk.

[Oudler]

@Wanderlustus It's not like their later work obviously but if you've heard Vom Himmel Hoch from the first KW lp, then you can recognize that sound.

[Wanderlustus]

@Oudler Sadly, I have not. Perhpas I should've shut me yap. Love to have a copy of it if you know where to find one.

Oft shite is said of Tangerine Dream as well; folks who never heard Zeit oder Atem. Cheers.

[Metalonos]

Genial!

[mushroomman123456789]

Excellent!! I liked the rare footage. It looks SO hard to get a hold of... -.-

[GrindThrash7]

out during like black sabbath's time

[cheeezdooodle]

what does the rest of this album sound like?

just as heavy?

[Kenckaplus]

man... this is amazing, hail them

[jonthefawn]

I agree.

[jonthefawn]

I agree.

[elephanta2]

Nice heavy metal by Kraftwerk.

[DancingSpiderman]

@ 1:24 sounds like the beginning of fricken "iron Man" by that babbling weirdo, what'shisface? Ozzy

[ApacheLabel]

does anyone else like this more than black sabbath other than me?

[Bluehawk2008]

"Pre - Neu! days and this track gives a taster of what was to come from Neu! in the future."

How come more of Neu's tracks don't sound anything like this?
