Kraftwerk accepting the Grammy Lifetime Achievement Award (2014)

Ralf Hütter on the Grammy stage.

[@Psi_Cop]

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.

[@happydayz7857]

Brent Lane they’re too busy watching Miley Cyrus shake her non-existent ass to watch this.

[@terminalfrost3645]

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.

This is just what magazines/journalists have called him in articles, especially after other musicians started name checking him.

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.

[@Wuppie62]

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.

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.

[@yewisemountaingoat528]

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.
