I think the helmets are a good idea, if I did commercial rock or pop music I would likely do same because I don't want the fame bug, no privacy and no free time, I want music bug, so people can't see you so are intrigued by music rather than being over intrigued by person/celebrity image, I think it would be cool, you get to be cool and anonymous on stage and mr low profile off stage, good idea

[@aaronjabari6895]

the business opp are also amazing...imagine if the continued with the anime...they probably could have had top selling action figures, funko pop toys, video games (hoping they show up in Cyber Punk 2077), etc etc also having a helmet can easily immortalize the band....Daft Punk 2.0, 3.0, 4.0 and so on and so on.

[@ThirdSpectrum]

They nearly went bankrupt because they financed "Interstellar 5555" with their own money and hired legendary animation artists Daisuke Nishio and Hirotoshi Rissen. Its not cheap to make an animated movie and it apparently didn't make much money. I think its one of the reasons why they had to slow down releasing albums or why they chose to release human after all.

[@ericbazinga]

They even brought legendary director Leiji Matsumoto for Interstella 5555 (fun fact: Matsumoto is their childhood hero; they used to grow up watching one of Matsumoto's shows, _Space Pirate Captain Harlock._ They had been honored to be able to work with Matsumoto on an animated feature.)

anthony patterson - When a Music Label gives an advance to record an album, that’s actually a loan. What’s funny also besides paying to record your music and film a music video. The artists don’t even own their Masters. That’s how scums from Music Labels rip out artists. Daft Punk was smart to sign with Virgin records which allowed them to own their masters.

[@vinnyvidivici]

Wearing masks and never really showing their face really gives them two separate lives, which is actually really smart. They’re an international icon, but then they’re also able to love a personal life without the worry for privacy issues because not very many people know what they actually look like. These guys are very smart with their journey into the lime light.

I don't get the hate on Human After All... For me it's some kind of electronic punk album, it's raw, it's fast, it definitely has some weight in to it. It's pretty good

[@valeriovigino358]

Also I remember Technologic was a pretty solid hit back in the days

[@jonah8231]

Every album of daft punk had a portion of the fans upset because every album was vastly different than the last. each time people would say "this doesn't sound like daft punk" when fans who know the influences they are building from and the people they emulate can see how each and every album is uniquely them.

[@Roush97BC]

@@jonah8231 That's one of the things I love about them and keeps their music "fresh" to me even after all the years. I know I'm more of the exception but I hate it when people want that same sound from their favorite band and get upset when they don't get it.

[@KazuyaYuza]

Especially "Robot Rock"

[@lavenderllamamusic]

Exactly. Even when he mentioned "raw, stripped down sound", that's what punk rock is. But I always said, Human After All was important in the grand scheme of things, only because the songs on that album worked perfectly in their Alive 2007 mash-ups and just translated so well to songs from Homework and Discovery. There will never be anything like Alive 2007 again

They wear helmets to be Mysterious, Intriguing, and timeless. Its pretty clever to outwit all the dumb kids who think you have to be young to be relevant.

[@theruddyone6443]

Sounds wise to me

[@dhanrajramdhan9298]

Daft punk had a argument on stage and one of them said "goddamn helmet is stuck on my head" so saying they an take of the helmets are fake

[@addisonshepard333]

They were actually comedian's, since punk (silver helment) is taller than daft (golden helmet)

I am a DJ and music producer and it is almost solely because of Daft Punk. I have had their framed poster in my various living spaces for several years. I remember in college I even brought it back home with me during one winter break. I cannot create music without those two watching over.
