im like the worlds biggest Kraftwerk fan....you should listen to Trans Europe Express....
and The Man Machine...ok sorry im just a big fan.....get excited sometimes....lol...
as if Coldplay could come up with a melody that good...........pffft - all Chris Martin can do is make babies with Gwyneth......

yeah i fucken love kraftwerk just hadnt listened to it in ages and only heard the coldplay song the other day... do they give credit or what? i was just like. NO. WAY! haha

hahhha them and there laptops....they were playing Solataire actually....

what i heard was that Chris sent them a letter explaining who he was and saying how he'd like permission to use the riff and unfortunately Ralf gave it to them.....i guess theyd get a cut of it -Kraftwerk....im not sure how those things work??? cause theyve stolen the riff but its not like a sample???
