It makes sense that they would break up eventually, because they're insanely rich and loved so why not just retire If you listen to interviews throughout their career and look at the way people talk about them, it seems like Guy Manuel was the brains behind Discovery and lots of the early work (as evidenced by Le Knight Club, the Sebastian Tellier album he produced and basically all the Crydamoure label stuff) and a lot of their early singles that were really good, like Music Sounds Better With You. Thomas Bangalter's solo (kinda) stuff like Together, So Much Love to Give, and the remix of Signatune were good but also a lot more derivative and flat and it seemed like he was more of a collaborator and producer than the sampling god of the group. It also seemed like he was way more interested in actual composition, like the Tron soundtrack and RAM. Everyone who talked about RAM in interviews basically only even mentioned Thomas and his vision rather than Guy. Also, Guy did Nightcall from Drive too. So there's that. If I had to guess, Guy was fine with whatever and Thomas wanted to go up his own rear end so they just called it quits. Thanks for reading my post about conspiracy theories surrounding two boogie robotmen. AHH F/UGH fucked around with this message at 19:07 on Feb 22, 2021 |

How did those robots get stuck out in the desert to where one of them has to self destruct in the first place? They're world renown musicians! Somone should investigate their handlers/technicians.

I don't blame them for splitting up. It must have been very hot and uncomfortable wearing those robot masks.

I have officially wasted my life by never seeing them live. It was very high on my bucket list, I am devastated. One of the greatest bands of all time, I regularly get random daft punk binges going for a few days where I listen to da funk 3 times in a row and then through their discography. They're also responsible for me not dancing at clubs or parties for years because some random guy laughed hard seeing me flail to one more time at a club when I was 16, so many memories

wearing masks / the robot gimmick was a brilliant idea and single-handedly made "guys twiddle a knob or press some buttons while a laptop does all the work" seem cool on stage

I'm now remembering the one quote they gave to that magazine way back when: quote:"We did not choose to become robots. There was an accident in our studio. We were working on our sampler, and at exactly 9:09 am on September 9, 1999, it exploded. When we regained consciousness, we discovered that we had become robots." The epilogue video was posted to their YouTube account at exactly 9:09 AM, February 22nd, 2021 edit: 22 years later PIZZA.BAT fucked around with this message at 22:43 on Feb 22, 2021 |

RAM was a boring album that sucked compared to the bangers they'd put out until then lose yourself to dance is extremely embarassing, in hindsight

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bnNdNCS9DIY the daft punk itself that i never listened to before. it seems like they got through the whole early 90s stereolab-ish middle ground between hipster rock and electronic in just 4 songs and then went all in on the synths. you can clearly hear the guitar solos and the disco samples from the start though

i wonder if they had acces to that giant robot barge thing in star war (1977) if they could have maintained the robot better so it didn't explode. then we coudl still be enjoying daft punk to this day
