Daft Punk Make First-Ever TV Appearance With Kanye West
Kanye West's 'Stronger' -- a tune synonymous with 2007 -- earned a Grammy for Best Rap Solo Performance and offered Daft Punk the chance to make their first-ever television appearance, not to mention the first time West performed with the French House icons, during Sunday night's awards ceremony. The performance also revealed some of the mystery of the famous Daft Punk pyramid, with an ariel view into the robots' lair.

This is the best. I love Kanye's Stronger but this is the Utimate. I wish I would have been there live. I have got to get this in my own personal video library. They have to do an album and make it available.

How is it that Kanye could see with the lights in his sun glasses? They look cool, but I was just wondering...

I loved Kanye. He is so avant-garde and brave. I love his spirit and his conscientious. His ldevoted love for his Mom is wonderful.

I hate to be the bearer of bad news but,
... "yes" that was daft punk
BUT
... "no" it was Thomas Bangalter and Guy Man
Kanye had gotten permission to use the daft punk likeness on the award show... so if it was daft punk or not is all about how you look at...
And there is no need to explain how i know because i could say that I was anybody and could never prove it..
But after all the debate I find it somewhat amusing and a little hard to believe that most of the "fans" didn't recognize the obivious.... which Hero 2 (the rounded helmet outfit, worn by Guy-man) is as tall (if not taller) than Hero 1 (the squared off outfit, worn by Thomas Bangalter)... and in actuality Thomas is considerably taller than Guy-Man.
Also why would Daft Punk themselves suit up for 15 seconds for another acts performance? Why aren't there any other photos or than the processed image of the duo on the carpet or even backstage with Kanye? Just something for you to think about because you will believe what you want to believe...
oh and the whole thing about the lemurs... I have to be honest and say that I don't know.. but I personally would say no it wasnt live because the interface wasn't set in a practical way especially triggering what he was supposedly triggering.. that blocks were set at to many random intervals to be practical... I'm not saying it couldn't be done that away, but i think it was just done to look good...
but anyway you look at it, there were two daft punk robots there :)
