The first three Neu! albums and the two first Harmonia albums blew my mind... The influence of those albums over the Industrial and the New Wave/Post Punk music scene is amazing... Thanks Michael Rother for sharing your points of view and innermost thoughts through your music...

What a charming man. I saw him the other night playing in Chelsea London. He blew the roof off the place, pounding drums, slashing rhythms, ringing guitar all against a huge LCD backdrop. Wish he'd tour more.

14:50 - "Now Mr. Rother you must take a sip and try Red Bull." 15:00 - His face says it all about the taste of it. Really enjoyed this! Just imagine if Conrad Schnitzler could have got some time on that sofa.

Maybe in 2040 in this charming man will look old. Down to earth, humble talented artist. I love this guy and his music.

This guy plays a huge part in my musical identity.

michael rother is of course one of the true pioneers of electronic and experimental music. saw the avatar and thought it was just an audio interview on first sight.so great it turned out the visual way.love this in-debth and interesting profile.

Thanks a lot for upload and let us be there with Michael.

You bring a smile, dear Michael, both with your music and with your absolutely charming, kind and intelligent self. Congratulations on both counts! :)

Leibezeit was a genious, saw him live twice in 1974 with Can at birmingham town hall. Im going to see michael live in glasgow in september.

Just started to discover Michael Rother and Klaus Dinger and Conny Plank. The Genesis of Kraftwerk. It's interesting story about that whole KrautRock Scene.

27:30 recording original neu! album 35:00 kill bill lol 47:00 beat on "watussi" and schaller tremolo 49:00 who played what on first harmonia album 57:00 eno + cluster and "luneburg heath" 1:09:50 "hero" and klaus does say norway after all 1:23:00 ~around here he talks about the fairlight; song "palmengarten"

Also, anyone who's interested check out a song by Jørgen Ingmann called 'Apache', made famous by The Shadows. Rother was hugely inspired by that song to pick up a guitar, and you can definitely hear the parallels between that song and his solo work.

my dad interviewed him in the mid 90s and apparently hes a very nice guy

Nice.

I just got aware how Peter Gabriel and Phil Collins were influenced by Super 16 by Neu! Especially on "Peter Gabriel plays live" stories( just listen to the first 2 Tracks) and "Mama" !by Genesis also influental on "In the air tonight". I guess they were connected over Brian Eno who worked with them both, also with Cluster and Rothers' other band Harmonia, and also with Bowie and Iggy Pop, who also have been influenced a lot during their Berlin time,direct connection and many interesting stories! Also later the new wave bands taking the motoric repetetive drum style by Dinger and Jaki Liebezeit of Can like Joy Division, The Cure up to Industreal Sound of Depeche Mode and later even Techno and Hip Hop using Kraftwerk samples,which was the hottest shit. , The impact is tremendous and amazing.

Thanks for the wonderful lecture. Unfortunately, the charming presenter is not named (now I know > Hanna Bächer)

First of all, why is the place empty. It should be packed, this guy is a musical legend...secondly, what is he eating, the man is 64! and he literally looks 50. Amazing.

yeah I know, but I'm pretty sure there's enough people who study music at the academy to go see him. but i could be wrong

they missed "Lila engel" from NEU! 2!!!!!!

Great interview, despite the sometimes discourteous interviewer. Nice Fall/MES reference at 39'36"!

Who ist that nice Girl doing the Interview?

Jaki's the best drummer ever, not a single rival in his field..

That's hard to say, I could easily name a few drummers who are on that level, however, he is definitely the coolest drummer of all time and will always be my favorite.

He didn't speak about neu 85... And the kraftwerk live in Bremen 72...

Is it really in Tokyo or is there an error in the title ?

he reminds me a lot of panda bear from animal collective

This was not proto punk, punk, new wave or industrial, it was something very special and very german. fingering in the frontiers of sound shaping and understanding heimat and fabric and machine experience for a worker for citizens. they feeled the world around them like can, but in a new way. Pr ecision.

Excellent stuff! Surely *_Hero_* has to be the first _Punk_ tune ever recorded and Klaus was angry so no surprise there PS the excellent interviewer here is a doppelgänger for Julia Roberts it seems She says she interviewed Can please is there a trace of it on the net by any chance? After all these years I still cannot decide who was the greatest band of the 20th century Can or Neu! ha maybe both as good

Hero seems to be a pretty early version of post punk, but punk like music was being made in the late 60s, even big bands like MC5 were early on the punk sound

Also wondering where to find the can interview. The only thing I could track down was the Damo Suzuki interview they did but that's not what she's referencing.

He speaks very good English.

日本人がいない‼

This isn't a lecture, it's rather more an interview by someone who does not really click with him.

Magersucht

the red bull lady is a bit of joke.

I would really like to know,how Red Bull Academy,is advertising this Interview with the catchy Phrase of Proto-Punk ??? Kraftwerk was from the get-go a Band with no financial Problems,none of the Musicians mentioned;beside Klaus Dinger; had no political Message or interest in rebellion !!!! It is a total misunderstanding that these Guys had any connection to Punk Music !!!! Most of these Guys where quite boring by their Attitude !!! Also the Interviewer hasn´t got any historical context to these kind of Musicians,just because someone uses an electronic device to create some extraordinary music,it doesn´t mean that it needs to be branded or labeled,like e.g. PUNK !!!! Or is Red Bull a Punkdrink !!!! What a waste,Michael Rother is soooooooo boring to listen to !!!! A little german Hosenscheisser he seems to be !!!!

Sure, NEU! weren’t really a Proto Punk band by any means but a few songs of theirs like Hero for example definitely sound pretty punky. Not to mention, they were a big influence on Punk/Post Punk (especially the UK bands). So yeah, they technically didn’t have a connection to the genre cause punk blew up a year after they broke up but they definitely were an inspiration.
