This has to be the best interview of all time

Answers in German precision.

Florian Schneider 1947 - 2020 I just heard the news on his passing..A sad day...A true artistic genius...His work will inspire many generations to come....Kraftwerk were traditional artists...They let their Art do the talking....

Are you preparing a new album? "Yep" - Florian Schneider 1998

That has to be one of the most unintentionally hilarious interviews ever! LMAO Gotta love Florian!!! He's awesome. "Are you preparing a new album?" "Yup"

The fact that he laughed after every answer made me laugh with him. :D

1:34 What are the songs you gonna play tonight? ALL. 1:50 Are you preparing a new album? YEAP. R.I.P. Florian Schneider Esleben 🙏

Which songs are you going to play? "All" - Florian Schneider 1998

RIP Florian, a genius and pioneer. "what can I say, I don't know" But Florian we definitely say you are the father of techno.

2:14 Florian being unnecessarily humble. Such a gentleman.

He was so gracious and humble. He was also direct about his work, the concert, and the other performers. You could tell he was moved that she called him the father of techno.

"Yeah, Indeed".

I like artists who are genuine and no bull in their responses. Definitely beats 120-second cookie cutter replies full of cliches. RIP Florian

He is a robot.

He's not human anymore, i love this guy

Kraftwerk with Massive Attack! Holy crap!

RIP Florian. You were one of the forefathers of electronica and talented beyond words. This interview proves you was also a witty man and very cool. A sad day for Kraftwerk fans worldwide. 💔

RIP. It’s more fun to compute!

covers face, shrugs, looks around "what shall i say? idk..." laughs i love florian so much!

Ha, Ha, Ha!!! Wie kann man nur eine Interviewerin auf so eine sympathische Weise auflaufen lassen :-) Ruhe in Frieden, Florian!

He had a good sense of humor, he was a nice man. 💐

as a brazillian, fluent in both english and portuguese, its so fun to me to see a woman with a southeastern portuguese accent go to a weird brazillian strong english accent, only to be complemented by a string german accent XD this is gold kraftwerk for life, rest in piece florian

I agree. Florian Schneider has a good sense of humor about the whole interview.

I love this interview so much. The interviewer handles it fabulously well and with really great humour. I mean she quite obviously knew what to expect...

In a way this hilarious interview sums up Kraftwerk...mischievous, humorous but quietly self-effacing...we love you and miss you Florian.

*Eu amo como os gringos a princípio acham a pronuncia dela diferente e o sotaque carregado até que ele responde com esse tom alemãozérrimo arrastadíssimo. Esse entrevista é ouro*

Warning! Empathy Emulation Unit overheating!! :P

Florian Schneider isn't a big "speaker" and normally give no interviews (Ralf Huetter ist the "speaker" of Kraftwerk), so this is a very rare thing. But he does it very good anyways.

If he looks uncomfortable and is not very forthcoming, bear in mind that, in its heyday, Kraftwerk was a reclusive band and generally did not grant interviews. This lady is merely doing her job, but she's thrusting the microphone in his face and asking questions of someone who believes that the music speaks for itself.

Answers with surgical precision, no waste of breath nor emphasis on ego. Simply brilliant!

R.I.P. Florian. You are a legend forever etched in history. 😞

R.I.P. Florian Schneider-Esleben 🎵🦾🖤

Journalist: ''I'm really enjoy the conversation with you, Mr. Schneider....I can talk with you for 3-4 hours''...

ALL THE SONGS...WE PLAY THEM ALL. ALLLLLL

He is very respectful of her questions and I like how he lets out a laugh due to the language difference he has to wait quite a while before his answer is translated. He seems in good humor and I don't think he minded the silly questions. Like he said he would stay in Brazil forever so he must be enjoying himself.

Rip Florian !!! The best of songs 70’ 80’ 90’ 2000 - 2020 - 2030’ 🤖🚀👽🎹

Grande mestre! Descanse em paz e obg por toda sua contribuição para a musica eletrônica. R.I.P Florian Schneider *1947 - 06/05/2020* " We are the Robots Forever "

R.I.P., Florian! († 2020 😥) Your music will never die!

Poucas palavras mas o som dos caras fala por si só. Pode parecer frio, distante mas faz parte da performance mesmo fora dos palcos. Se repararmos por exemplo, o Vince Clarke do Erasure, Chris Lowe do Pet Shop Boys, o Daft Punk e outros que certamente foram influenciados por Kraftwerk. vamos ver que eles seguem o mesmo estilo. O ponto alto foi quando a repórter perguntou "Voce se considera o pai da música eletrônica?" Ele dá um sorriso acanhado e diz "O que posso dizer ?" Se isso não é humildade, o que mais poderia ser? Que o pai da música eletrônica possa descansar em paz.

RIP Florian. Will always love your music and your personality. People might think they seem robotic, but you could just tell Florian had a particular sense of humor. I like how he is pretty much cracking up after each of his responses.

I never realised how musically multi, multi talented Florian was until I read his wiki entry. The guy played so many instruments. Rip brother. The world is poorer for your passing.

With so many reviews saying that the questions were stupid, I wondered what to ask Florian. Although the repot could do a little question more elaborate, but it was worth the intention. Honestly I thought was pretty good, Florian laughing at the questions was hilarious, really kraftwerk style.

Ich finde es sympathisch, dass Florian überhaupt auf die Fragen geantwortet hat. Da kann sich die Dame glücklich schätzen! :))

"What songs are you going to play?" "All" fucking love Florian

So funny how Florian responds in such to a minimalist fashion. It's the interviewer who's doing all the talking.... And all that Florian is saying can be condensed in a single phrase!!! LOL

Legendary Interview.....06.05.2020....R.I.P. Florian....we wont forget you ever !!!

We indo BRASIL still LOVE KRAFTWERK 👍🤩🇧🇷🇩🇪💥😜👏

I just remembered this interview, poor woman haha! I did laugh so hard :D RIP Florian, thanks for the great, great music. You have inspired so many musicians. Legend!

Wow! From his demeanor he's a gentleman of very few words. Thank you for the music, and your Krautrock sound will live on for generations Worldwide :)

Those Kraftwerk guys are so quiet and awkward that it is amazing the music that they have made. Their brains are different.

Florian is SO brave and SO hilarious! Rest in peace and thanks for your wonderful music.-

That Florian what a motormouth all he does is just talk, talk, talk ; P

This group forever changed my life when I go into my studio I channel these 4 amazing men.

Getting something out of Florian in the first place is a real effort to begin with - I would have actually expected him to stand up and walk away from the interviewer as he never does interviews. He and Hütter are quite shy and reserved unlike the ex members Bartos & Flür who are very vocal gentlemen.

"a wonderful conversation companion" ("The deaf knocker", Labyrinth, 1986)

You imagined a better planet for us to live in. 🙏

haha ela fez o que pôde. realmente não é muito fácil tirar palavras desse homem

RIP nice answers.

Classic video! So glad to finally see it in high quality! thanks!

Schade, nun ist er gestorben leider. Ich wollte mich ein wenig schlau machen wie er so war. Und weiß gar nicht was ich davon halten soll. Schade ist es trotzdem und das wird ganze Generationen noch überleben dieser tolle Sound... BOING, BUMM, TSCHAG!

Fantastic Florian! I miss you

That was Florian's robot!

He was a genius, R.I.P Florian Schneider!

RIP Florian. Best interview ever.

obrigado florian

You are a genius.. Rest in peace Florian...😢

Increíble qué este genio de la .música electrónica fallecio hace poco

RIP, my friend, and thank you for all the wonderful art.

Best interview I’ve ever seen

Sie werden immer mit Ihrer elektronischen Musik verehrt und verehrt, Sie und Ralf Hutter gelten als die Eltern des Techno-Pops, leider ist er heute physisch vom 05.06.2020 weggegangen, es wird immer wichtig für die Musik sein, vielen Dank Florian Scheider für alles, was er zur Verfügung gestellt hat, außergewöhnlich Beruflich und persönlich, Sie werden bei den Werken, die Sie hinterlassen haben, präsent bleiben! Ruhe in Frieden mit Gott, Jesus! Herzliche Umarmungen!

She: Which songs are you going to play tonight? Him: All.

he looks like he doesnt want to be there XD

Rest in peace to the best interviewee ever.

briiliant precise so Florian so German, so cule i love this band

Florian is a genius.

I understood just enough of what Renata was saying to figure she realized fairly early on that she'd have to "carry this one to the camera." That she did, so give her some credit. As for you, Florian, G*d bless you...

Voce sempre sera cultuado e venerado com sua musica eletronica, voce e Ralf Hutter são considerado os pais do tecnho pop, infelizmente partiu fisicamente hoje 6-5-2020 , sempre será importante para a musica, muito obrigado Florian Scheider por tudo que proporcionou , excepcional profissional e pessoa,voce continuara presente com as obras que deixou!Descanse em paz com Deus, Jesus!Abraços cordiais!

simple and to the point.....Gotta love Florian

The Best interview I’ve ever seen !

To me, Kraftwerk is everything. It's memories, friends, foods, trips to Europe, long summer nights, air conditioning and soulseek downloads. What is my favorite thing in Kraftwerk? It's impossible to answer - everything is my favorite pretty much, maybe everything besides a few songs on "Antenna". But everything else - well, as the cute, shy and embarrassed bald German man said in the Brazil concert hall, back when kids still played outside cuz there were no smartphones - "What shall I say? I don't know". I love you so much Florian. I'll listen to Kraftwerk all the time until we meet and share a drink in the heavenly Autobahn.

Descanse em paz, Rei!

R.I.P. Florian... :(

His answers are almost shorter than his haircut

This is literally that meme of a badass guy saying "YES"

Stellar interview

Going to really miss you, Florian. RIP x

RIP Florian!

Gosh, do you all really think Florian was bothered by the 'silly' questions? Florian isn't rude or sarcastic, he just answers exactly what he is asked. Not everyone wants to use each and every chance to talk and talk. He's a very content person, from what I've read I know that Kraftwerk produced all the albums themselves, because they didn't want fame, money or reputation. They just like to make music, and if you like it you can listen to it if you want to.

"What are the songs you'll be playing tonight?" "All." I dunno why, I just found that funny. Florian is clearly a man of few words.

R.I.P Florian Schneider

Thanks for re-uploading this in better quality. You can actualy see the background now. Gives a nice sense of where they are. Haha., fuckin' hilarious interview.

The Big Florian.

Descansa em paz mestre

legend

Big Artist! Rest in peace Florian.

A man of few words. Makes for the most compelling interview!

Rip Florian. Thank you.

Ainda bem que o Florian não entendeu as besteiras que ela estava dizendo.

Awesome!

We will miss you Florian ❤️
