It's a pity that one dickhead threw a water bottle on the stage and someother wank kept shining a pointer light on Florian's head. You could tell he was pissed off. Sounds like next time they'll just send the ROBOTS in Kevlar uniforms to the English prison-island ;-) Regards / Johan

old new songs
by ncentola 26 Jan '03

26 Jan '03

Hi guys, KW did not play any of the three unreleased songs at 2002/2003 tour. Can we consider they abandoned these draft songs? Maybe they didn't like them, or maybe them didn't work on stage? Well, a new album is a little bit far away now. Australian friends, any curiosity about KW gigs? Some mistake, some difference between australian and european concerts? peace Nicolau www.kraftworld.hpg.com.br

Florian

Hi all I just happen to walk past Florian who was sitting at a table out on the street footpath out side a night club just down from the Enmore Theater (Sydney Australia) . Funny thing was I never noticed at first until my sister said "That guy we walked past looks like a member of Kraftwerk" I looked back and she was right!!!! Then quickly looking for paper and a pen for an autograph I looked back and he was gone, I think he went back into the club, I had a look there for him but was soon kicked out cause they where closed.This happened about 6.30pm. There was even someone lined up at the door of the Enmore Theater at 6.30pm. Doors opened at 8pm show started at 9pm. The Big Day Out with KW was fantastic. I was at the front for both shows in front of Ralf. I yelled out "Come back to Australia soon!" But I doubt this will ever happen again. When Ralf walked off the stage to end the show at the Big Day Out it was like saying goodbye to a loved uncle. Yes there where some stuff ups but that has already been spoken about, but who cares. It's a pity that one dickhead threw a water bottle on the stage and someother wank kept shining a pointer light on Florian's head. You could tell he was pissed off. On a nicer note a big thank you again to the guy who gave me his spot so I could be at the front for the KW show at the Big Day Out. If you happen to read this please e-mail me, I'd like to send you a thank you gift. Well I'm totally exhausted and just back from Sydney need to get some sleep. Cheers Kraftwerkers Chris....

Even if they sounded exactly like they did in 1997 I could be tempted to go see a performce, just for the new visuals. This email may contain confidential material.

Australian CD editions?
by Mark J Stagg 24 Jan '03

24 Jan '03

Anyone seen or heard the Australian tour CD reissues yet? Worth buying? Are they REALLY remastered, or just the standard CDs in new slipcases? (the cover pics at soundworld.com.au look suspiciously familiar!). And what of the "exclusive booklet" - any good? The same for all 4 CDs? Cheers, Staggman

Actually I almost sent Roberto Heras and his Spanish & S. American team mates the CD single of Senor Coconut's 'Tour de France' during the 2000 tour (via TdF's datapost service), but chickened out!

I always assumed Deutsche Telekom was the only team blasting Kraftwerk from the team bus (with the possible exception of Team Coast and Phonak). Maybe this is why Igor Gonzalez de Galdeano (ONCE) is going to Australia this year. Perhaps he is a fan of Senor Coconut. I think the reason all these guys wear earphones while riding is to get pumped up listening to TdF to keep their tempo up.
