  • velvet underground > the jesus and mary chain > spacemen 3.. But they are a very good band indeed :P

  • 1st thought - reminds me of The Velvet Underground.

  • my favorite part is the part at 3:50 where you think the song is ending and you're all sad and stuff but then it doesn't end so you're happy again

  • whoa, this is from waaaay back, when mtv still played music videos

  • Please don't compare Spacemen 3 or Jesus and Mary Chain to MGMT that's just retarded and insulting. MGMT is not shoegaze so fuck off. I won't even bother to insult the wretched band.

  • SO GAZEY

  • Comment removed

  • @InfamousA no dude, fuck you. whatever spacemen was to you when you first started listening to them, MGMT has been to me ever since congratulations came out. I know you probably put them off because they had a mainstream hit, but that literally is one of the only songs of theirs that isnt completely inspired by the same music you probably like. I mean this generation is embracing your music, why not give any of the few good bands these days a listen?

  • I wish I was born earlier to see these guys in concert, but hey, internet!!

  • loorrrddd hypnotize my soul...

  • thanx for puttin this up. really were happy daze

  • Three bands I never got: these, Primal Scream and jesus and mary chain. EVERYONE loved them, but they did nothing for me.

  • @wungabunga I haven't got primal scream yet, even though I've tried a few times :P The jesus & mary chain are pretty good though! But I just love these guys! I fell for them on the album "Forged Prescriptions". It is much better than the studio album named "The Perfect Prescription" I think. Search for walking with jesus alternate version and you'll hear beauty :)

  • 13 Dislikes, Seriously

    musy be Coldlpay , Oasis loving Weirdos, Saw Spacemen 3 and Butthhole Surfers in mid 80's, never forget it.

    

  • spacemen 3 look so gorgeous+ cool!

  • I'd have thought most Spacemen 3 fans would enjoy Congratulations and some other MGMT stuff . And that Panda Bear album too

  • hey kids, relax, roll another one...No Bad Vibes wanted here! :D

  • The Brian Jonestown Massacre - Spun ??

  • @ThinkWhatIsNotThunk

    The song Jesus by the Brian Jonestown Massacre came to my mind. D:

  • @ThinkWhatIsNotThunk Anton owes everything to Spacemen 3. 

  • life

  • old scholl!!!

    

  • sounds like heroin

  • I've gotta lot of anxiety, always have. Fuck it sucks. Spacemen 3 chillllll me out w/o the baggage.

  • I remember watching this on transmission 20 plus years ago and being blown away and it still blows me away today.

    not a bad feat as i'm 30 kilols heavier now.

  • People talking about MGMT in a Spacemen 3 comment section is depressing. MGMT is a bullshit band and these people are legends. Get the f&$k out of here with that crap. F&$k MGMT!

  • @InfamousA

    MGMT isn't a bullshit band.

    if you've actually listened to most of their songs, you'll see that.

    their huge popularity might have given them a bad name, and frankly i hate it,

    but their psychedelic sounds and lyrics are great.

    it's clear that they're one of the current bands that are influenced by spacemen 3.

    oh, and i do think it's a bad sad that someone had to mention them on here, mainly due to the fact that they're huge now.

  • @InfamousA you sir, are a fag.

  • @drbobalish Cool story bro , MGMT and ignorance apparently go hand in hand. Then again, if I listened to MGMT I would be insecure about my sexuality too.

  • @InfamousA You're too cute.

  • Comment removed

  • Wish MTV played stuff like this still... whenever I watch MTV its just re-runs of ... yep you quessed it Lady Gaga and Dance music

  • Spacemen 3 are better than MGMT. MGMT are still way fucking talented though. Unless you're a useless twat who replays Time to Pretend in the quiet of your teenage bedroom, you know MGMT has more songs than that that go in different directions than their widely attributed "synth-pop" stylings. They're both good bands. Pete wouldn't work with an untalented group of guys.

  • @EPICBEAR73 ok man . i'm 40

    i have been a spacemen 3 fan for more than 20 years. to me they have become more important

    than the beatles

    i dont know what happened in this conversation before this

    but mgmt actually does some serious ass kicking , while i think their stuff may have been exploited i think mgmt did something incredible

  • peter kember of spacemen 3 produced mgmt's album congratulations so you're all dumb

  • I think what happened to MTV was simply the idea that making money was more important than anything ...even if it meant exploiting young people to the hilt(both viewers and subject matter)..We went from Spacemen 3 and Kurt Cobain to following drunken morons around the Jersey shore and watching 16 year old pregnant girls fight with their mothers for entertainment..

  • @strangetribe Jersey Shore is an improvement over Kurdt Cobain. At least the former isn't wallowy derivative shite.

  • @LatentExcuse I guess you are a latent excuse for an idea

  • @strangetribe

    And a hipster.

  • has anyone invented a time machine yet??? anyone?

  • Music is not a contest nor a competition. You idiots are always making a competition out of everything. There's a time and place for many different kinds of music. I may put on a Spiritualized record at three and then a Beatles record two hours later. I don't sit there thinking one is better than the other. It's a different thing. I also listen to Bach.

  • @yowza69 I agree 100%. This is why only idiots and teenagers follow the charts.

  • @MV516 well to me, at least MGMT has brought those little children here and acknowledge this kind of spectacular sound wave. in other word, this is another way for pete to educate the "now" youth of how music should be - through mgmt. and btw, fuck drugs, drugs are easy. the hardest part is when you could get high without a substance through music like this.

  • put the spacemen on and drift away ....

  • truly the sound of heaven...

  • hey dude drown your sorrows I never had anyone to follow

  • There is no good reason why MTV can't be supporting talented bands like these guys did back in the day. Fuck outta hear with reality, I get enough of that shit from day to day.

  • what? MTV used to play music videos?? You mean there wasn't a time when 16 and pregnant wasn't on 24/7?

  • @IknowDannyToo yeah. I have no frickin clue, why their name remains Mtv.

    MTV stands for Music Television(?).

    Then Why the hell is there no music on MTV????

    Even the new Beavis and Butt-Head episodes don't have them watch music videos anymore. They just comment on those stupid shows you mentioned... This is a serious WTF-moment...

  • Long live Spaceman.

    Spiritualized fans may wanna check out The Lines from the midlands, great band with a similar vibe.

  • this was the song that got me into the spacemen 20 odd years ago and it still sounds great today.

  • From the Album "Taking healthy medicine to make music to take healthy medicine to"

  • Sighhhhh...So Fucking Good!

  • when i listen to this music i feel like im tripping and meeting the godhead :)

  • MTV is propelling us closer and closer to the reality of the movie "Idiocracy". The shows that are popular in that movie are so very similar to MTV's current format.

  • great stuff

  • @ rockindave---thats what happens when baby boomers and their worthless kids run the world. just give it time.... luckily nobody lives forever

  • Wonderful. I just finished reading the Spacemen 3 biography. It´s incredible how much Jason and Sonic fell out with each other and Sonic fell out with their manager because this was "Jason´s song" as the A-side. They planned to tour the US and this was primed for the US market, hence the MTV symbol :-) Beautiful track. I want it to go on forever and forever...

  • niiiice up! one of my fav bands ever.

  • MTV actually played their video???? I am amazed. Spacemen 3 remains absolutely unparalleled.

  • @chunhaylee

    yeah.. they actually used to do that type of shit.. a lot

  • I'm so glad I recently discovered these guys. Awesome stuff.

  • Has MTV turned to shit - or music?

  • @jarad75uk

    Both

  • @jarad75uk MTV has promoted the industry into crap me thinks. XP

  • MTV is a non-entity today. We should forget about it and move on.

  • awesome song, just sublime...

  • Mais um génio de sempre: Jason Pierce.

  • Oh MTV....how we USED TO love thee. The mighty have fallen......

  • amazing amazing amazing .

  • wanna smoke a joint

  • Always best with a game of space chess....Yeah....Here it comes.....

  • Remember when Mtv was cool?

  • @Rembbrandt My nephew genuinely asked me the other day what the 'M' stood for in MTV. When I told him he squinted and said 'oh' as if he accepted it was the obvious answer but still didn't make much sense.

  • @Rembbrandt Not really.

  • fuck mtv,,,

  • 6 minutes? Where's the other 26 seconds?

  • i can't believe there's 8 people that doesn't like the spacemen 3. sucks to be them

  • @kennyconga

    They probably just failed to hit the right button

  • Excellent.

  • greatttttttttttttttttttttttttt­tttt

  • what a great band!!!

    Lord resurrect them!

  • Nice one. thanks for posting.

  • Rare live Spiritualized videos on my channel!!!

  • ive been up all night with insomia, tinnitus and alcohol for 2 ights now...fuckin right im hypnotized

  • MGMT blow they are for little children who get straight A's and wish they were screw ups. Spacemen 3=ecstasy

  • Comment removed

  • @MW516 wtf are you talking about?

    is it really impossible for someone on youtube to enjoy a fucking song without dissing another band? :S

    I like MGMT, and I like spacemen 3...is it really so bad to enjoy music without stereotyping the people who listen to it?

    fuck's sake...

  • @MW516 Haha!

  • @MW516 MGMT and spacemen 3 are both awesome bands you don't have to diss MGMT they're actually an extremely talented bunch. Can't we just appreciate music here?

  • @lilballerina no we cant

  • @jochenjockel then you're not a true fan of music in my eyes. someone who really appreciates music and the joy it brings wouldn't be so negative. have a nice day sir.

  • @lilballerina it was only a joke ; ) maybe you are the negative one. have a nice day

  • @lilballerina No. Getting along is for hipsterfags.

  • @LatentExcuse you sound like an angry person and i feel sorry for you.

  • @MW516 Peter Kember of Spacemen 3 produced MGMT's album congratulations

  • @MW516 woah woah whoh man, MGMT and Spaceman 3 are BOTH amazing. Once you get past songs like kids and time to pretend you would actually realized that they have alot of talent. Pete wouldn't have worked with them if they didn't.

  • Everybody get ready for the new MGMT album, co-produced by Kember. It's going to be sweet.

  • @cjkloster though this is a j. pierce song, i'm still looking forward to the new MGMT album. Heard a bit of it and it sounds pretty alright.

  • very love & rockets-esque

  • kember n peirce  love them guys ,sonic is god

  • Thank you very much for this. After not even 1 minute it inspired me so hard it was simply amazing.

  • Inspired you to do what ? Not mocking - just asking .

  • LOVE LOVE LOVE!!!!

  • Reminds me of the BJM's 'Spun'. Both fucking wonderful bands.

  • Comment removed

  • It sounds kinda like BJM 'Jesus".

  • Thank you so much!!!

    And I remember back in the early 1990s that MTV had an Indie evening regulary and they played all those shoe gazing and alternative bands from those days.

  • spacemen 3 on MTV? O.O WTF!!

    spacemen 3 ftw!!! ;D

  • Yeah there was a time where you were able to watch music videos on MTV..nice song btw

  • nice! what a good band.

  • no los conocia a los hombres del spacio... muy buen grupo!

  • does anyone notice MTV in the corner

    god, what the fuck happened?

  • seriously! what happened?!

  • antmichb, this is from a time MTV was about good music, not shit TV. 20 years ago we had a great Indie shows of bands like stereolab, MBV, Spiritualized, and many other cutting edge bands. MTV is a joke now, I havent watched MTV for atleast 15 years as I hear its total shite now!!

  • Youtube is the new MTV!

  • @antmichb Shit happened.

  • @antmichb They sold their soul to the highest bidder

  • @toansavoo : Gone are the days of Alternative Nation, 120 Minutes and Headbangers Ball...

    Now we have MTV Cribs and Pimp My Ride. Who cares???

  • @Efrasnel sweet 15, and loads of shit!

  • @antmichb I hear you - a signof the corporate times? Fuckin sad!

  • Hahaha! Yeah that was the first thing I noticed too. @antmichb

  • @antmichb The same thing that happened to America sine then , and it was fu::ed then as well , but more so now .

  • @antmichb

    same thing with the rolling stone magazine

  • @antmichb im guessing the time the play it was ay 4:00 in the morning.im sure

  • @antmichb this was at the time when MTV actually had some pride :P

  • @antmichb

    The heads at MTV figured out they could make a lot more money if they mass marketed to adolescents.

  • Drugs!!!!

  • YES

  • !!!!!!!!!!

  • what albums this from?

  • Recurring.

  • True - it's on Recurring. But better get the e.p. version, which is much better and includes The world is dying and a nice purpled poster to top!

  • taking drugs to make music to take drugs to

  • Triiip

  • This just sounds fuckin beautiful x

  • agredd

  • this is perfect.

  • I remember hearing this song on Clemson University's radio station, WSBF, in the 1990s, as well as having seen the video on MTV's 120 Minutes. Man, I miss the old days when MTV still had quality bands like Spacemen 3 and the Jesus & Mary Chain, instead of the MINDLESS CRAP they have now!!

  • I am telling you the states are in toilet when it comes to music.

    Its either disney or whatever.

  • at least disney is honest about being crap, the rest of them are just pretending to be better than disney but most of them aren't. there are good bands if you take the time to find them but most people dont

  • there are tons of unbelievable bands in the US, only you'd never hear of em, even the free weekly local newspapers only write about the mainstream crap now

    thanks for posting this wonderful video

  • Bullshit. There's plenty of good, new shoegaze, psychedelic and metal bands in the USA. You're just not looking hard enough.

  • She, Sir is a local shoegaze act from Texas. CHECK THEM! Goddamn that EP is amazing. Brian Jonestown Massacre, Black Angels. Of course these are all givens for you and the rest of the gang who enjoy Spacemen 3 like myself. :)

  • yeh I like the bjm, black angels but havnt heard she?

    have any other recomendations?

  • She, Sir! Go google them! I believe most of their songs appear on their page. There is also Black Rebel Motorcycle Club, Slowdive... etc. Thats venturing way off into Shoegaze territory though. If you enjoy that however, i can get you a SLEW of bands. :)

  • yeh i know black rebel motor cycle club, and yes please a slew of bands would be appreciated, im always keen for new music.

  • You have good taste

  • Thanks, as you're watching this video, i assume you do to?

  • Yes I do

  • I like spacemen 3 but you clearly have no idea what you're talking about. There are some awesome bands here...

  • Yes, MTV sucks!!

  • @RockinDave29672 120 mins was the shit. matt pinfield! where are you? come save mtv!

  • @RockinDave29672 the world is going down the drain pipe, is it not?

  • @RockinDave29672

    Word!

    120 Minutes and a Headbangers Ball.. those were the days.

    They actually showed independet stuff.

  • @RockinDave29672 Its not even MTV any more...they should call it Reality TV..they barely play music and when they do its garbage..

  • people shouldnt forget that only because mtv's full of shit nowadays, it doesnt mean that all young people are full of shit! there are still some kids who listen to quality music like this ;)

  • Thanks for posting this. Time to roll a joint and relax and melt into the couch like the old days.

    Yeah, is is amazing to remember even in the 90s that MTV was still cool on occasion. Now it is a cultural trash heap littered with the rotting compost of stagnant, mindless hip-hop and white boys that aren't the least bit hip trying to sing R&B. And don't even get me started on what passes for "punk" these days. Shit, they put Bob Dobbs on MTV back then.

  • i so agree!!!!

  • i just can think about whata my 16 year old neighbor said to me the other day.

    "until a few years ago being a teen meant exploring cool new music, nowadays it means being a useful idiot, hearing formulaed bad music"

  • im 17 and this is currently addictied to this band

  • if you like these guys you should check out the Brian Jonestown Massacre, or The Jesus And Mary Chain

  • i have psychocandy and ive seen bjm live before

  • Check out NEU!. Spacemen 3 always gave them a shout out. Get the 1975 Neu! 3 album. Trust me.

  • ive looked up isis and and seeland off youtube i definitly see how spacemen 3 are influenced from this band

  • probably because the mtv execs were still rolling joints and melting into the couch on the weekends back then....

    MTV also used to be a 24-hour music channel......imagine that!

  • MTV used to be sooo cool with its cute early 90's logo :(((

  • god damn stoners take that rule

  • damn soo good, to think mtv used to play the good stuff like this.

  • I love these guys...their influence rains down upon my guitar!!! :)

  • Recurring is a classic, no if buts or maybes

  • IRRE!!!!

  • Jason Pierce == God

  • Have a nice triiiiiiiiiiiiiiippppppppp

  • I love these guys and I love Spiritualized---cool stuff

  • My old music tech teacher recorded all there albums, paul adkins.
