Karl seems like a very nice guy! :D

[rafalexpx]

Karl Rocks!!!!

[Martijnnaber]

He's so great! Does anyone have an idea what synths he's using?

[alaska3333]

Besides being very talented, Karl also seems to be a very "down to earth" person and easy to get along with.

@dachshund1980 i agree with all of what you've said. Speaking of better with age, i compare him to a fine bottle of wine or champange...maybe don parrione (forgive spelling...lol). Along with my wonderful husband he is one of the few remaining TRUE gentlemen left in this "dog-eat-dog" industry. I just love the way he smiles and speaks beautiful German and English *giggles like an 18 yr old again* lol. :)

@werkinwoman83 Yes, he's handsome, talented, brilliant... and hot :D And it seems to me he's getting better with age.

I can't find the right way to say that both Karl and I are Gemini's without sounding all 'I'm SOOO much cooler than you' when I don't think that at all DX<. Anyway, I just wanted to say we're Geminis and I love his music and his ex-band. X)

@jaisinator Karl Is a really nice guy.Do you believe it?//////

Friendchip.

[werkinwoman83]

@commanderkruge You know Herr Bartos personally!!! I am so jealous :). Anyway, please mention to him that a certain female fan from the states thinks he should model. :)

Wer ist die junge mit brillen rechts von Karl? | Who is the guy with glasses on the right from Karl?

[mpresev]

I didn't know he wrote the Model.

[commanderkruge]

Word! I'm so relieved that I'm not the only one with that opinion! :) I know Karl personally and when asked about his part in creating the "classic" kw sound and style he is very humble... but one of my personal friends, a certain Mr. Flür, agrees on our view:

Karl "made" Kraftwerk. Without him music history would have taken a different path for sure. (!!!)

Just like the Beatles were made by Lennon and McCartney - a lot of what we know today as "classic" KW came from Karl, as it seems... :)
