Kraftwerk - Die Roboter

[ReadyIIDie]

over 30 years old and still fresh ...wow!

[QAFtuvok101]

@ReadyIIDie They were so ahead of their time, it's no wonder they are still "fresh".

[RideableLlama]

"Wir sind die roboterrr" sounds so much more intimidating than the English version, pure brilliance.

[ri394]

the godfathers of everything electronic.

[LegoPaluza]

Omg, I was searching for this song :O.

[romanza28]

Супер

[jacobsaarela]

The german versions are so much better than the english.

[WinterKingdomWolves]

@jacobsaarela Eh, not really, I like both versions equally. But the German version of Ausgebombt is better then the english version though.

[wehe63]

classic good old

[supaikudayo]

3:02 Let's break it down. Aww Yeah~!

[Niamherss]

i <3 these music geniuses!

[meedily]

Those are the scariest sex dolls I've ever seen.

[DrMerkwuerdichliebe]

Nostalgie nach Stephanie Tücking.., ohh... Steffi

[jrquist404]

Well, I see where Zapp and Roger got their sound from....

[rogeriodinardi]

i think this guys are original 100%. Elvis copied black music and made millions on rock and roll. Eric Clapton copied blues from black guys and made more millions.

The 80´s and eletronic music of today copied Krafwerk and millions still making...

[H4NDCRAFTED]

@rogeriodinardi <This

[meedily]

This reminds me of a horrible dream I had where I was molested by mannequins.

[sabu85]

[ulkord]

[boogawitsuga]

KRAFTWERK KICKS ASS IF YOU ASK ME.

[Aunaymusique]

@boogawitsuga But we didn't ask you...

[ChildrenOfLazyTown]

I wish I spoke german

[Riflemanm16a2]

I normally like original German versions more, but "Wir sind die Roboter" just doesn't sound as robotic as "We are the Robots."

[ulkord]

@Riflemanm16a2 i dont think so

[FoolyCoolyMabase]

I am watching this on my laptop while taking a shit. It works like a charm, way better than All Bran

[username2150]

@FoolyCoolyMabase why dont you leave one ,taking one is just wrong in so many ways......

[Raphacom123]

They can hardly contain their excitement

[desamator11]

@Raphacom123 lmao!!!! i wonder what there expression would be if they were told they have only 10 minutes to live.lol!!!!!

[Raphacom123]

@desamator11 They would probably have "error 404" or something like that

[desamator11]

@Raphacom123 lmao!! 

[desamator11]

@desamator11 i figured they would freak out and start to plunder 7 eleven's or something!

[fabio8008]

@Raphacom123

The robots cannot have excitement at all...

[microkorger]

this was thirty years ago and japanese robots today can only solve a rubiks cube and sing soprano. 

[DuckDAWorld]

WIR SIND DIE ROBOTER !!!

[Tenifus]

I'm a BAROQUE musician and I love kraftwerk!

[808state909]

i am the bonerboy

[Cosy2222]

I cant understand why anyone would question the quality or level of independent thinking when it comes to kraftwerk. I dont care about the guitar most of the time or 80 procent of people playing it, bacause (in my opinion) kraftwerk (as the first huge electronic band) shows the instruments lack of debt and possibility for the first time i history. I guess the most creative people in the world (if u had to hand out this kind of award) would go to the german people. Plz relax with the hating.

[blakesblack]

@maideniac94

what the hell is thrash metal some bull shit you made up

kraftnazi is trash

slayer is old trash

[birchofacookie]

@blakesblack You don't know what thrash metal is? If you don't know what you're talking about you might as well not speak, you indolent tool.

[maideniac94]

@blakesblack why do you call them kraftnazi? your such a troll... a fucking troll. You are the real nazi, here. A musical nazi

[blakesblack]

you know me huh? you did research huh? you googled me huh? no you dident cause theres nothing there and you know nothing about anything

slayer? i dont listen to what you do no why huh? cause you do and your a nobody like everone that likes german music

[slipandbleed]

@blakesblack Haha! Dude all I did was click your name yesterday and the video that was up was some like, rediculous noise metal. i know nothing about anything? haha. Anyway was what i was trying to say that German Music doesn't all sound like Kraftwerk, many of it is experimental and such unlike the pop of today. Slayer is American, not German. Slayer is a thrash metal band with some strong political messages, unlike the blind screaming of whatever it was that was on your channel yesterday. ;)

[blakesblack]

@slipandbleed gary numan is noise metal? idiot your stuck on fail i dont give a fuck about slayer nore any fucking nazis unless it has something to do with killing them theres only two types of music good music and bad go lose you virginty to cat... :P

[slipandbleed]

@blakesblack Wait what to a cat? Wtf is wrong with you? lol. Gary numan is pretty mcuh the same as Devo & Kraftwerk. Yesterday, I clicked on your name and the video that was on ur channel was some noise metal. I suggested listening to metal with a message like slayer. Seeing as how ignorant & uneducated you are, I will no longer respond to any of your comments as any responses you will just pussy-foot around. U fail to put up any educated, valid arguements. Nazi? there are 4 swastikas on ur page

[lizohal]

Wir sind die Roboter.



[candyrn16141]

better than today's music. Same beat, no lyrics that are worth discussing, unless they are disgusting....

[blakesblack]

wow german music sucks so much

[ChioPL]

@blakesblack i cant imagine how many kraftwerk fans would kill you for that words

[blakesblack]

@ChioPL im-sure-i-could-take-em-all-on­-if-they-look-anything-like-th­ese-noobs

[slipandbleed]

@blakesblack Haha! You blind, ignorant swine. German music has so much culture unlike pop counter-culture music. German musicians are pioneers ex. Rammstein, Kraftwerk, KMFDM, Laibach. I bet you think you pretty tough for listneing to that growling metal stuff? Nobody thinks its cool just such an awful sound, it all just mixes into some horrible headache indusing sound. If your going to listen to metal, listen to slayer where they actually play music, not noise and don't scream into the mic. :)

[maideniac94]

@slipandbleed I DO listen to kraftwerk, and I also like Black Metal. It's possible, did you know?

[slipandbleed]

@maideniac94 yeah. I listen to kraftwerk and thrash metal. I was talking to blakesblack.

[willobeen]

@blakesblack wow

[sleakitweasel]

Apparently, you could also bake tasty buns and scones in that electronic drumming console too!

[exconigor]

What kind of instrument is that at 1:30 ?

[MrCyssiek]

@exconigor some kind of control device. It looks weird, nothing special about it.

[quangluu96]

@MrCyssiek i think it's eletronic flute :D

[voldelig11]

fucking scary lol o.o

[dsdan83]

it's so funny to see that back then they thought we'd all be robots beyond 2000.

[PlanetKelp]

these guys know how to get laid



[trancestc2212]

this is my 7yr old sons fav song xxx

[JURYJOHMZOMBIE]

[trancestc2212]

Wir sind die Roboterrrrrr

[realycooldude94]

[gasplut]

it´s just a matter of time before someone takes the 3.02 - 3:10 part, and make a "Geddan" video with it : )

Kraftwerk sparker røv : )

[Sozionaut]

KULT!!!!

[KLLYRSLF24]

is nice

[GreenTumb420]

They're dancing around too much.

[pchiodo]

I loved them... simply genial

[bingsy100]

das is good , ya? shit hot more like!!!

[TheCapitanokirk]

Per sempre i numeri uno

[birddogbull]

every time I see Florian in this I think Will Forte from Saturday Night Live is his son or something. they're practically twins.

[jensthiede]

Echt geil in dieser Zeit sagt ein DEMO Fan!

[Trainsirenguy]

吊　吊　吊　吊 <--- Wir sind die roboter

[s695579]

100 people that dont like this are utter cunts

[Franticuli]

Was für ein Ohrwurm. Wer das Lied einmal gehört hat, vergisst es nie mehr.

[BradleyDesigns1000]

WOW!! How weird, yet,,, stickeee- I think it's GREAT. rrooobota---

[corpovalo]

LEDS GREATS

[s695579]

Freaky!!

[the2000joshy1]

einfach nur cooooooooooooool

[Trukut]

Echt merkwürdig aber irgendwie gut

[TheMrANNA]

Die mugge von denen ist echt freaky :/

[udot111]

I caught about half of that...he talks too fast and I don't know german well :D

[Borschtii]

Ich hoffe meine Nachbarn mögen Kraftwerk^^

[autoteilehuhn1]

Hammer!!!

[sora0xx]

I love this video!

I saw some videos and realized that I like the German pronunciation.

wish I could speak German like a native.

[MultiMemo01]

Hoy y FOREVER Kraftwerk!!!

[einsamkeitimnebel]

Das ist einfach nur unglaublich stilvoll! Hut ab!

[stonimahoni1981]

einige instrumente die sie grad gesehen haben sind übrigens eigene erfindungen sag ich da nur :) ohne die gäbe es einiges nicht!

[Deni93ful]

ooh mann die ganzen platten von denen gehören verbrannt^^.. nix gegen euch 70er generation aber mein vater foltert mich heute noch damit!!!! GRRRRRRR!!! :/

[Invisibrah]

So do you think this "electronic music" will ever catch on?

[neomix21]

@Invisibrah Naaah I don't think so. Classic and Rock will always be #1.

[DiscoDude82]

@Invisibrah With stuff like this, HELL YES!

[jrquist404]

I just love how the guys look like mannequins because they're so stiff and pale and have no emotion in their faces. Very clever image they had going on. And I like this better than the English version. I wonder if Roger and Zapp stole the funky voice thing from Kraftwerk that made their voices sound so distorted and machine-like. Or was it the other way around!

[mariuspeiffer]

ja man ich hab dazu als 8 jähriger getanzt hahaha alte zeiten

[666MASTERTARIUM]

Die waren Außerirdische ihrer Zeit ;)

[TheAlnaro]

[08motorizer]

daft punk is besser

[Stromschlag]

@08motorizer

Logisch, immerhin sind Oasis ja auch besser als die Beatles und Green Day besser als die Sex Pistols.

Das hast du als alter Superexperte natürlich messerscharf erkannt!

[formeandyou83]

[DonWrangler]

They have the best poker faces!

[RIOT690]

@DonWrangler

Lady Gaga is jelly

[Hurtydwarf]

@GIANTdonut3000 why do you bring up lady gaga for poker face?... poker faces were around long before lady gaga

[Kraftwerkification]

@DonWrangler Better than Lady Gaga has. WAY BETTER!

[DonWrangler]

They have the best poker faces!

[impactoprofundo]

erlernt mal die philosophie dahiner!!!!

[impactoprofundo]

erlernt mal, die philosophie dahinter!!!!!!!!!!!

[Stromschlag]

@impactoprofundo

Hegels Herr-Knecht Dialektik? Die Mensch-Maschinen-Interaktion? Subjekt-Objekt-Dualismus? Entfremdung? Russischer Konstruktivismus? Das Erkennen von (Selbst-)Ironie?

Das kannst du vergessen, denn leider schreitet die allgemeine Verblödung mit großen Schritten voran! Das erkennt man nicht zuletzt an einem Großteil der Kommentare hier.

[impactoprofundo]

@Stromschlag was redest du denn? bist so einer der sich unwissend für schlau hält und so unnatürlich auf youtube zu reden versucht?

[impactoprofundo]

WIR SIND DIE ROBOTEEEEEEEERRRRRRRRR

[DiddyTheDuck2]

Ich wünschte, heutzutage gäbe es solche symphatischen Moderatoren...aber was kriegen wir? So nen Müll wie Gülcan Kamps!

[Synochra]

@DiddyTheDuck2 Heh ja lol :D

[MrReverseBass]

"Guten Tag, ich hoffe es geht gut." :D

[Pyllolla]

Sci-Fi Musik? Elektronischer Rock? Kraftwerk are all that and much more!

[captainbackflash]

@DerSido123 Nein, die waren damals so!

[sokomokomo]

[filedetubarao]

Pena atualmente não ter nada que cause impacto no senario musical !

[WingmanAlpha]

Science Fiction Music rock the house! :-D

[broneboythefirst]

@hiracktoman9

They sing:

"ia tvoi sluga"(я твой слуга, i'm your slave)

"ia tvoi rabotnick"(я твой работник, i'm your worker)

[Koerpermusikk]

@broneboythefirst

I thought sluga means servant not slave?

[dream459]

@broneboythefirst

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

[hiracktoman9]

These guys are amazing! Ahead of their time, geniuses, creative, one-of-a-kind, just fabulous! The host is right...it's very science fictiony, futuristic...wow! Very impressive! I'm not very good with german, but it sounds like they are singing in russian at times...but I could be wrong!

Wir sind die roboter...

[odenskrigare]

@hiracktoman9

Yes the spoken parts in between the lyrics are in fact in Russian. I sort of suspect they were going after the Soviet system with this song.

[maeseatila]

@hiracktoman9 Yep. Ja tvoi sluga, ja tvoi rabotnik (:

[nick9690]

bei meinem eltern damals im auto nach Ungarn immer gehört und mitgesungen.....mit ca 5 jahren :D....ach war das ne geile zeit- und der sprit war billig

[Outsiders196]

Ihrer Zeit weit vorraus...

[orangeroomstudios]

For students of German language, I have posted an original translation of the lyrics of "Die Roboter" on my WordPress blog (Foreign Language Music). Unfortunately I can't post the link here, but you can just search for it easily or send me a message.

I also include vocabulary and grammar explanations as well as the guitar chords.

[Ragnaroegg2]

we are still dancing wir sind die roboter

[PommesMitSahne]

Heute ist solche Musik ja fast alltäglich, aber damals war das Musik vom Mars! Ich kann mir nich vorstellen, wie unglaublich revolutionär das geklungen haben musste, bin leider zu jung ;)

[ThunderTheFox]

Я ТВОЙ СЛУГА

Я ТВОЙ РАБОТНИК

gibt doch nichts schöneres als den Klang eines analogen Synthesizers ^.^

[FridayTeardrop]

ich hab das lied damals mit 6 nur einmal oder zweimal gehört, trotzdem geht mir die melodie immer mal wieder durch den kopf, das soll mal irgendne band nachmachen

[Noirarion]

haha, dem Moderator fällt kein Name ein,  Science Ficiton Musik, oder Elektrorock, die waren solche krassen Pioniere

[deescottfriends]

@Noirarion

War damals halt was neues.

[Kraftwerkfan2]

@Noirarion

das kann man von den songs von ihnen heute immernoch sagen.

Meiner Meinung nach ist es experimentelle Musik, eine Mischung aus allen

[Chakahr]

sind das Roboter ich weiß das ist so cool

[TheHerrHeinrich]

Wonderful song :)

When i was little i was listening it from his old "tape" (don't know the english term)

[vhulheim]

@TheHerrHeinrich 8-track or cassette most likely

[TheHerrHeinrich]

@vhulheim

yeah, an old beautiful music cassette of my father : )

[TheBizzKid]

sci fi musik oder eektronischer rock xDD mann wenmn man die bezeichnung in 2011 hört muss man doch glatt lachen xDDD naja techno for life

[leroyrs]

@TheBizzKid

Wenn man Deinen Kommentar in 2011 liest, muss man auch lachen.

[check961111]

.. das find ich unfair, bin 14 und kenn die Musik vom Chaosradio. Schaut man in die Wikipedia, dann sieht man wie viel Kraftwerk wert ist.

[amaurycesar]

Kraftwerk: DER BEGINN DER ZUKUNFT!

[shankedbyfrank555]

Everyone talks about how Kraftwerk were ahead of their time, musically but I can't get over how advanced their robot technology is.
