MGMT - Of Moons, Birds and Monsters MTV LIVE

[inesmalti97]

It kind of troubles me how this video doesn't have more views. I mean it's such a good song and it's a shame a lot of young people these days still are never introduced to good music. :(

[jamiepancakes]

i really wish i was in the crowd. this is beautifullll

[Hideisalegend]

excellent bassline, wonderful song, and ass kicking ending part including the solo

[roboshea]

This is what music is all about. WOW.

[yuriburlamaqui]

[thenewunkindness]

Holy SHIT. That's all I can say.

[IsaRangel15]

Great song to smoke weed

[aireyify]

[MissWhitAlyse]

This deserves millions of views... *_*

[nancymimoboy]

muy bueno!!! es una de las mejores bandas de los últimos tiempitos... en mi parecer....

[MaXCKY]

I've heard some folks say that there's something missing in their live act, but this video proves them absolutely wrong. The ending, what?

[bvba6gir]

Ugh just marry me already :/

[codkiller100]

Love it!

[KuriosBebop]

Guys...we're talking about music there. That's the only important thing.

Thanks MGMT!

[mitrojsr]

[v1kingfan]

[Coloso1]

[cheezystickygurf]

[TheStevenAguirre]

Best Show ever! Fans were speechless lol

[WhompyProductions]

[9BlackStar8]

@xXDOP3BOIXx EXACTLY.

[moniisthename]

This gave me a love orgasm...

[bomberman326]

@moniisthename vanwyngasm??? :D

[agustinamar2]

I already came back from work, long day...tired ...and this song is kind of encouragin and healing...that's it. We can waste time traying to put words to describe what is the power that music provides ...

[MasterJosh47]

Have the distance have the motion communication is easy as the ocean.

[elianbep]

y este verano tocaron gratis en Argentina y yo no pude ir :( muuuy mala suerte!!

[agustinamar2]

@elianbep yo tampoco pude =(. este tema es increible, especialmente esta versión

[elianbep]

@agustinamar2 vamos a tener nuestra revancha si o si! jajajaja..es genial! me enamore de esta version desde el primer momento que la escuche! es excelente, nada de desperdicio!

[agustinamar2]

@elianbep sii! por lo menos tenemos suerte de que son jóvenes...solo han venido una sola vez, asique seguro vuelven.. =).

Creo que este es uno de mis temas favoritos de ellos, junto con Siberian breaks y the Handshake, en los tres casos ,en vivo, tienen versiones tan geniales.

[punkrockkat]

Great performance.. MGMT rocks and takes me to a nice place!

[Chacha5678]

i need to see MGMT again :/

[seandever]

@Chacha5678 I know exactly how you feel

[Chacha5678]

rest of the song just blew my mind, too. amazingly good live.

[Chacha5678]

intro just blew my mind.

[flatteries]

I was at this show right at the front even got high with them after ! It was at Cardiff Uni, One of my favourite pieces of guitar in history, If not my favourite ! Glad everyone Loves it aas much as me !

[tiesje93]

and wtf is wrong with that crowd? MGMT is playing!

[mslightsaberninja]

i love the jam session at the end, gives me shivers :)

[musicandnight]

The absolute best intro...ever...

[ShawnGeeMusician]

I love the wah wah wah thing before the actual lyrics start. It's like a sweet count in for the band.

[jamiepancakes]

*eargasm*

[tiesje93]

ooohhh those 2 people... oh waitt. i have a life.

[ecstasyandfriends]

i want this played at my funeral

[lonesomexheartbrokn]

i dont know if this is a good song! i always die during that intro

[virtuOhSoAwesome]

these mtv performance videos they did need more views! they are soooo freaking good!

[xlysabj]

what the f was wrong with the crowd. THAT WASS AMAZING

[Mgmt2011]

Best song ever

[MichaelMlkz]

Pink Floyd Now A' Days <3

[xXliesdullthepainXx]

Jimi Hendrix would be so proud of these guys :)

[avedic]

though.....i do find it really really lame how MTV cut the editing of the solo to make it look like andrew was playing it instead of james. i mean, i get it that james looks like a creepy pedophile lumberjack at times. but he's the one playing it. :/

[tiesje93]

@avedic james = jesus!

freakn amazing guitarist.. but i totally understand what you mean.

[inlovewithmgmt]

@avedic Who cares who played it, or how it was edited? Just focus on the music and realize that the WHOLE BAND, as a collaborative, group effort, produced the music. I think people cheapen it when they try to play them all against each other and get mad when one person is highlighted more than the other -- Andrew's the lead singer!! It's kind of natural they would show him more, like most video-taped performances!

[avedic]

@inlovewithmgmt um...My criticism has nothing to do with the band. It has to do with MTV. They intentionally tried to make it seem like Andrew was playing the solo. Why? Because Andrew is physically attractive. Now, if MTV cared about the music first and foremost, as you seem to, why would they do that? I just thought it was disingenuous and worth pointing out. It doesn't detract from my ability to love the band, the song, and this performance though.

[inlovewithmgmt]

@avedic I know your criticism was for MTV, and sorry if you thought I was insulting your love for the band or whatever, but it was more of a general statement since I feel like I've seen a lot of "wah why isn't ben /james/will being showed as much as andrew" etc. I don't think it was done on purpose, though, and not because Andrew's attractive. I think it's because he's the lead singer and they usually show the lead singer more often. But, IMO.

[avedic]

@inlovewithmgmt It's cool. And I totally get why the lead singer would be/should be filmed more. It makes sense. But...I do video editing for a living and without a doubt, this was done on purpose. Not to give more screentime to Andrew, but to trick the audience into thinking he was the one playing the solo. It's pretty clever editing, but it just bothered me because, back when I was a kid, MTV would have been railed on for doing something so shady. But, that's MTV these days...

[inlovewithmgmt]

@avedic Oh, okay. That's cool -- and this is a random question haha but how did you get into video editing? Did you study for it? I'm interested in that field.

But *cough* anyway, haha, yeah well if they did do that it's kind of shady as you said. It's weird that they'd do that.

[timeub32100]

@avedic

any mgmt fan knows that's James' green guitar, so one would assume they are tying to cover the more marketable person of the group. Everyone knows that's Andrew. He gets the most face time out of all of them in general, not just in this video. I would venture to say columbia pushed for this type of editing. Do you think mtv cares about the marketability of a band for a 5 minute video on a secondary station? I'm sure columbia was running the show here. Place blame where it is due!

[avedic]

@timeub32100 Well, you're blaming Columbia. Is that right? The members of MGMT have routinely stated how Columbia has been nothing but supportive of their band and their vision. MTV however....what track record do they have when it comes to artistic vision? I'm convinced, personally, that MTV was behind this decision and Columbia had absolutely nothing to do with it. Having said that, I don't really care. Somehow my comment made the top comment. I get that Andrew is the main face behind MGMT.

[xjakemarinx]

@avedic i never even really noticed that until now. but i think any intelligent person would know whos playing the solo, even if they didnt know the band members.

[Gauss247]

@avedic I don't agree with you at all.

[ColinTheButthead]

@avedic wow your an asshole, James probably read that and hates you

[avedic]

@ColinTheButthead chill out. it's a joke. i love the band...and james seems like a cool guy

[merrsshee]

@avedic Mtv sucks dick. American music listeners suck dick.

[avedic]

wow....they are on their game here. amazing performance

[Weivs]

drink 8 beers, do a whole load of MDMT, take two drags on a joint then this song starts

[TalbotEric]

best fucking intro EVER!!!!!!!!!!!

[tiesje93]

Best performance of mgmt.

Also one of the best performance ever seen:D

[MrMuse464]

Well 2 trolls have trolled upon the wrong video , god damn trolls

[emanak0430]

I love this Performance.

[cocobunny2121]

Actually from what iv heard rats are pretty good swimmers...

[catalata123]

the guitar solo kills me

[LollyPopCandyBox]

stupid lucky people to see MGMT live- JUMP!!!

[adr1ansk8]

[shortyfilmsSM]

;_;

[NeggroCareBear]

james's solo is so sick all of his solos live r 10x better than the ones on the albums

[NeggroCareBear]

james's solo is so sick



[BaldaiaNuno]

jimi hendrix + jim morrison = Andrew

[PoisonKnifeHD]

@BaldaiaNuno wow, i like Jimi and the doors but to said that andrews is more talentend then these two people is impossible, jimi was a god...andrew is not close to him, mgmt make really great music for a new age band but jimi would always be better x 48484949797

[tjafan588]

@PoisonKnifeHD Well, in 30-40 years from now this band might have the same status as the doors!

[tr3ynnn]

jimi hendrix would be so proud(:

[PoisonKnifeHD]

@tr3ynnn why lol ?

[Arsinas]

sex in a song

[VulpinFoxyFinnland]

god, the whole second half of this song makes me cry... so beautiful

[2lemonsAtrip]

this is what i call sex in my ears :D

[ringowasbest]

they clearly attempted to make it appear as though andrew was playing the lead parts!

[eliwamo]

@ringowasbest Nah, everyone knows Andrew plays a gibson.

[ringowasbest]

mtv really made them look really great here; however pretty unnatural. I almost think they dubbed some of the audio

[H0spitaller]

listening through the whole song i thought i was in another world...

[iGoRaawW]

Beautiful intro <3

[juanagustincabrera]

awesome

[CopyrightDENNIS]

Gute Musik & Gute Performance.

[MrSnoogsypoo]

[MrPineappleGuy]

eargasm

[TheBusinessisgood]

LMAO i remember when i first heard mgmt in 2007 when all of these hipsters thought it was dumb,its funny how hypocrites eat their words once something becomes cool.

[ChicanoLagunero10092]

@TheBusinessisgood I don't mean to sound slow but whats a hipster??

[ringowasbest]

@TheBusinessisgood you idiot, hipsters think bands are cool before they even release their first album

[TheBusinessisgood]

@ringowasbest thats an obscured concept of a hipster.the music industry took the leading roll of the meaning hipster.

[platypae333]

This is a terrible video. It sounds great but the video is out of time.

[itsadeadmansparty]

@platypae333 Yeah could the video guys use any more effects LOL -

Damnit calm down with the visual transitions - Fucken MTV

[TheSnowsbeauty5]

[wronganswermcfly]

lol horrible audio/video sync makes the band look like they have no idea what the words are hahah

[communistsmustdie]

why are there so many people who dont appreciate good music with meaningful lyrics and would much rather listen to lady gaga, or some other shitty mainstream music. why i just dont fucking get it!?

oh and dont go on telling me that mgmt is mainstream because they got a big record deal and managed to place a couple of songs on the radio.

[unitedwellfall]
