It's totally ridiculous that Kraftwerk earning a lifetime achievement award only has one low-res video. They should have been front and center on the Grammy's show. I can't believe how many people do not understand that the genres of dance, pop, ambient, and hip-hop were all fundamentally altered and/or laid down by Kraftwerk.
I honestly wouldn't be surprised if that's what Ralf wanted... he never likes appearing in person speaking on camera.. as evidently, none in existence(well, other than a 2 second clip of him and florian). It's quite possible it was his choice. If not then what you said.
@Paul Cole wether they went commercial or whatever music is music and they were for the most part still interesting I think.And as far as electronic music goes they were the cleverest of the lot. Tangerine Dream certainly have their place in this form of music.There is no one else like TG for sure. Cheers !
For those who still don't understand Kraftwerk's greatness: Chuck Berry is the father of rock and roll, this guys are the Chuck berry of electronic music
Kraftwerk padre de la música electrónica? quien te ha engañado... 1977 The Sound NRG & Synhtpop of Giorgio⚡Moroder father of EDM (Línea escuela Berlín, Francia, Bélgica etc). Kraftwerk y su electro concreto Düsseldorf & Krautrock 🤦
+OasisRecords1975 Is this the only recording of this in existence? The Grammys, and the only video footage of it is a blurry image from the middle row, and sound so muddy it's barely intelligible? Damn... I bet if was Beyoncé or Kanye we'd have closeups and crystal sound clarity.
It's realy sad that there is no better recorded version of this ceremony for Kraftwerk. I would love to hear the speech of Ralf Hutter. Anyway thanks a lot to the person that recorded and uploaded this important document.
This is the most sad and disgusting thing I've ever witnessed in Music. If the the big corporate music shit machine really wanted to pay tribute to Kraftwerk. They would have an entire grammy special on tv about Kraftwerk, their orgins, the experimental music scene they came out of and the incredibly enormous impact they have on modern music, but that would bore the masses and they would lose viewers which means losing some profit (oh no!) and they don't want that.
@@SuzLa1 Yes, apart from hip-hop, complete electronic music was more European, even if techno really started in Detroit but it was much MUCH bigger in Europe.
Or maybe Ralf Hütter requested minimal publicity because Kraftwerk has always been an extremely private/personal band with little interest in hogging the spotlight.
WOW! I never knew they won this award. Why wasn't it on TV? All the bone heads that are up there today owe a debt to these guys. Even Gary Numan who is called the "Godfather of Electronica" bows his head to these guys and says they were way ahead of their time and a huge influence on him. A shame people didn't get to see this or hear about this.
This is just what magazines/journalists have called him in articles, especially after other musicians started name checking him. Numan doesn't consider himself any major pioneer or 'godfather' because he readily acknowledges there were many before him; most notably Kraftwerk and early Ultravox (John Foxx years).
Numan el padrino de la electrónica??? Kraftwerk padre de la electrónica??? 🤣🤣🤣🤣 Desde cuándo el modelo Düsseldorf y el Krautrock fueron las bases del EDM de los 80s: House, Techno, Synthpop, NRG, Freestyle, Italo, New Beat, Ácid House, Trance, Eurobeat etc. Todo parte de 1977 The Sound NRG & Synhtpop of Giorgio⚡Moroder father of EDM (Línea escuela Berlín, Francia, Bélgica etc).

It's sad news. The last 6 or so 'Corona weeks' I was diving into electronic, synthpop and Krautrock music's history, starting my journey with my old Propaganda cd 'A Secret Wish' - also from Düsseldorf - and then going further back in time. I (re)discovered how great and interesting it was. Filling big holes in my musical knowledge. I totally fell in love with Kraftwerk, again. But this time with bigger respect, appreciation and pleasure. Florian being the oldest member left Kraftwerk years ago and I was already wondering how he would be doing these days. I was listening to their music yesterday evening in my garden. This morning I was shocked, reading that Florian passed away. He made his last journey, not on the Autobahn, not by TEE or bicycle, but from Düsseldorf straight back to where his music came from, Himmel hoch. RIP Florian.
@TAY1DN // GaryNuman&KraftwerkFan2006 ANAUTTP ATRCS Crying is the sincerest option IMHO. Remember, their creation will live on forever: music non-stop! 😉
Grew up listening to them back in the 70s. I still have not heard a music group as unique and prolific as Ralf and the boys. It would be wonderful if the original members reunite.
Me too, but it's not going to happen. There may have been a time that Karl rejoined before Florian essentially retired, but the band felt Flur forever burnt the bridge with his book and various interviews some 15 years ago. Then again, after all the times the Beach Boys sued each other, and yet got back together, I guess anything's possible.

It is incredible how ahead of their time they were - and also how HUGE their influence was, and still is! Can you believe they formed in 1970?? Just saw them last night on their 3D Tour!

When you consider that early hip hop artists like Afrika Bambaataa (seen as "The Godfather of hip hop") sampled Kraftwerk and said the music was an important influence you can say they played an important in the emerge in the whole modern hip hop/r'n'b scene too. Never mind the obvious influence they had on early techno, industrial and new wave music. If there ever were any influencers in modern music history which are unsung then it's Kraftwerk.

Have they been nominated to the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame? And if not why? These people where a huge influence to many groups in the hall of fame already.and have given credit to Kraftwerk for being a major influence.
+Ricovali Kraftwerk made the "nominees" ballot two years ago, but did not generate enough votes to be inducted into the Rock And Roll Hall Of Fame that year. The Rock Hall does have a special display for Kraftwerk there, recognizing their influence on other genres of American music.
This was never broadcast as they hid it in the pre-broadcast awards ceremony that also features great categories such as best polka band. So the youth on TV only watched the ephemeral pop shit artists who will be forgotten tomorrow, and not these giants...
While I, too, find it sad that this isn't available in a better format, what saddens me even more is that the guy presenting an effin' *lifetime award* couldn't care enough to do his research (or have someone do it for him) on how to pronounce poor Ralf's name properly. Such a shame...
For all the Germans who don't speak English, here is the translation of what Ralf has said: "Ich verdiene es, Ihre unbewusste Empathie entzündet zu sehen, weil ich für Ihr gefügiges Bewusstsein vollkommen harmlos bin."
Grew up listening to this and I've been inspired ever since to try and be as original. Absolutely original music that needs to be continuously listened to !!!!
Unfortunately it cannot happen "as per say". Even though they are still touring, only Ralph remains from the original band. He is is accompanied by three other "robots" on stage. Ralph is the only one that actually "plays" live on stage but not all the time. Most of the show consists in synthetizers playing live by themselves. Two of the three other "robots" amuse themselves playing with EQ's and filters; exceptionnaly, Henning Schmitz plays very little tidbits. The third "robot" (the newest member) handles the video portion of the show. Kraftwerk do not give live performances as they used to do in the 70's and 80's.
if you give kraftwerk an award you put them together with other artists. all of them others are children of kraftwerk. you dont applause the father for his skills to fuck. thats how i see that. a kraftwerk listener from the beginning. amen.
No eres un oyente...eres un fanático muy desinformado. Los integrantes de Kraftwerk solo son padres de sus hijos biológicos. Los verdaderos pilares de la electrónica y sobre todo del EDM que nace en 1977 está atribuido a otros personajes alejados del Krautrock y la Düsseldorf.
Where was this held ? Because it doesn't look like the same stage I saw AC/DC and the others. They showed all those losers and passed over Kraftwerk ?????
Kraftwerk ist fantastisch und sie konnten neue Musikkonzepte kreieren, weil es 1980 noch Platz gab. Heute ist alles machbar (Ableton, Logic, Octatrack, und jeden Tag was Neues Modular, Soundmodul oder als Groovebox,......). Und der deutsch Hip Hop ist so langweilig zum Schlager geworden, das er nur noch anödet. Vielleicht bringt KI neue Musikwege hervor, denn eigentlich gehts hinter dem Horizont ja immer weiter.
It's totally ridiculous that Kraftwerk earning a lifetime achievement award only has one low-res video. They should have been front and center on the Grammy's show.

It's a shame that they had to create such a rushed and chintzy "Kraftwerk for dummies" video montage as to who Kraftwerk are.
I know that you Walter white, hiding in the shadows, cheekily commentating on kraftwerk documentaries!
Where was this held ? Because it doesn't look like the same stage I saw AC/DC and the others. They showed all those losers and passed over Kraftwerk ?????
So you're at the Grammy's and you pull out your phone and start recording......classy
clickbait. this is an awful nature of the ceremony

Kraftwerk ist fantastisch und sie konnten neue Musikkonzepte kreieren, weil es 1980 noch Platz gab. Heute ist alles machbar (Ableton, Logic, Octatrack, und jeden Tag was Neues Modular, Soundmodul oder als Groovebox,......). Und der deutsch Hip Hop ist so langweilig zum Schlager geworden, das er nur noch anödet. Vielleicht bringt KI neue Musikwege hervor, denn eigentlich gehts hinter dem Horizont ja immer weiter.
The sound keeps breaking up so this upload is useless as it breaks up at the wrong moment on the speech!!!!
Coughing and hacking was gross at the beginning.
