MGMT - Kids (Encore) - Live Echoplex

[kiddkidd1234]

haha that too funny hes balancing himself on your head LOL

[somcko0l]

you are one lucky son of a gun that he used your head for support. i would not have cared about messy hair or a broken neck. haha

[Npeo]

Has anyone else noticed that the background rythem is just the original song instrumental on an iPod or something and their just singing? I actually want to see them perform the song, not just sing it.

[burnsinthroat]

He probably wouldn't have to be stabilizing himself on your cranium if he didn't have so much alcohol in his liver! I still love these guys a lot!

[xsarah6394x]

When his hand was on your hand...you better have touched it...xD

[Ancaferocks4ever]

omg this was performed on my birthday....*O* cool beansssss

[itsamilligan]

sounds like the guy singing along is having a good time to me

[MrADOLF818]

fucken love mgmt

but they dissapoint me live :(

[electrophunk26]

Wow... These guy are soooo talented.. Bouncing around with two guitars and not even playing them.. Pretty Exciting

[shakarado]

no shit, drunk people sing at shows.

FUN

[meinLiebsterFeind]

haha this is weak as fuck...

[ulupong1]

lucky... he touched your head....

[Ancaferocks4ever]

@ulupong1 that sparked such jealousy...if he were touching my head, i would've pulled him down and BEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE­EEEEEEP

[attackforce5]

Soooo cool he used your head as a mic tripod. I wanna be you, bone head

[attackforce5]

The guy in the wife beater should shut the fuck up. Ruined the song

[patdel92]

@attackforce5 lmao your name suits your comments

[ulupong1]

i think his name is andrew?

[Jorel1984]

I like the way it sounds on this reel

[mooifleur]

i am soooo jealous.

[hatersfate2]

i was there when they performed

[shimpanja]

you and i should have sex!

[ferchomdo61]

Decisions to decisions are made and not fought, but I thought, this wouldn't hurt a lot. I guess not. Control yourself take only what you need from it, a family of trees wanted to be haunted.

[OberonRacing]

Wrong.

[mightyboosharecool]

Its- decisions too decisions are made and not bought but I thought, this wouldn't hurt a lot, I guess not

[Julio17523755]

@hello123q123 no you can't... you and your freakin band just can go to the hell... =)

[todoocupado]

yeah i think tha same but no body can understand it !! cause the ppl that is posting here arent musicians sooooo....

[enjoin2f]

what does it matter when you ate a bag boomers, it's all good.

[Fruscianteism]

Think their problem with playing this live is that the song is just synthesizer, and Ben hasn't got 3 hands to play flute, keyboards and bass on his keys, so they don't give a fuck about that and rather sing. The songs great. Wooh.

[Aggrobacillus]

Heh... I kinda like the song, but the performance certainly feels dull right after watching bands like Arcade Fire pulling off gigs with 10+ performers in perfect harmony.

[smashladeuce]

who cares id still fuck them

[garou6666]

people should make them play the song live thats why they went to the concert not to just see them singing like in a karaoke mark me down all you want but this song its not that hard to play YES IM A MUSICIAN im not saying the song its bad but this is not a performance this is a karaoke people have some respect for yourself and if you go to a concert with this band MAKE THEM play the song thats why youre paying for

[Huntertington]

Considering they probably wrote this track with a midi in reason... they ARE playing it live.

=\

It's like a five second loop.. it makes no difference.

[patdel92]

yo then would you know the setting their using for the srta techno bass rythym, or settings close to it on keyboard? we neeed to find the settings lol for my bands live jams

[WhenTheLegendsDie]

"Hey like, bro, we can hold our guitars up, (not even play them),dance to the studio version of our song, and these douchebags will love it!"

[DiCola119]

Well it works dosnt it?

[dizzy90a]

ah Andrew's too damn sexy for his own good, I love love this song, it makes me happy everytime I hear it

[FSCPanda]

fuck you dude you try to play music for a few hours while its like 90 degrees and see if you still sound like your in the studio

[sventsjessica]

so (axw002) what were you thinking when VanWyngarden did that? Were you like motherfucker what are you doing? or o my god he's touching my head?

[AmyFuckIt]

i want so much to see them live!

[ripsyd]

either way i think we can all dig mgmt.

[1stpunch]

well done spastic who can learn words best comment ive ever seen +1 legend point awarded

[axe002]

wasn't me ^_^

[WMUMoose]

ya. there is definitely some douche just yelling. no attempt to to harmonize anything.

[kevinpur]

good song but they realy suck the big one live. I wouldent pay $5 to see em live.

[StyrofoamPlatess]

they have shit stage presence

[gerhard1213]

Why the guitars?? Posers....

[vojtezslav]

Omg you are so Stupid

[beerwine69]

fuck off not everyone can make good music you stupid cunt. ask yourself, "which one is famous?"

[vikinglordSF]

really the fuck do they have guitars for?

[DJAlfredPBJ]

awe they even carry fake guitars onstage

[akikowolf]

Haha, that must have been nice to have someone stabilizing themself with your head.

[pmkzero5]

no retard

mgmt is only 2 guys dumb shit

[koggit]

if wonder if they feel like hacks for talking along to a track made by their producer

[Krakko44]

um this was the first song they ever wrote before they ever had a producer so you're retarded

[koggit]

have you heard the first recording of it? it sounds absolutely terrible. that whole album was absolute crap, because they mostly made it on their own. oracular spectacular is great, but only because they have an awesome producer. they're popstar hacks. can't sing either.

[Krakko44]

i've heard the first recording and it doesn't sound that much different, the old version is still pretty good in my opinion.

[lordnibbler93]

their old stuff was great, and also the first recording of kids was great, your just fucking retarded

[arod42688]

no, that was just a video a fan put together...neither of them are in the group

[musicman1783]

Metanoia is playing in the background in the begginning!

[cindeeey]

1:08  HAHAHAHAHAHHA!!!!!!!!

[ShasoDnarb]

Pure shite live.

[CHRVANDENPUT17]

it's true

[stane311]

why the hell were they just holding guitars? LOL

[AlternativeLyrics]

@stane311 ^Guitar envy.

[thesoupluver104]

[farrahsecret]

[milllywilly]

[Vrossistoner]

<3 MGMT! <3

[NoselfcontrolTV]

[nesineo]

The tones kinda reminds me White Town's I can never be your woman.

Still catchy tho.

[stafros1]

Both very good.

[hockeydude22baron]

whos the dumbass who thinks he can sing with the band :P at 2:47

[Shananani]

Are you sure it's not the other guy in the band?? If it's not, I've been hearing him a lot through the performance. It's pretty lame.

[axe002]

the guy behind me : )

[paddywon]

I wish people would stop comparing these guys to other bands because it doesn't do them justice. Just appreciate the effect the music has on you and don't worry about how simple it is. =]

[tomdelta]

There like Pink Floyd?You gotta be fucking kidding

[lorianaaa0612]

they aren't very good life, but their songs are good :)

[katinaars]

it's 'live', and, yes they are

[bshrules85]

these guys are fucking awesome... like a modern day pink floyd.. and yes they can play real instruments to those haters

[lotrtttluvsme2]

it's just this song. All the others they use instruments.

[Gwyndion500]

funnier when you smack someone else with it and the tops open

[WhenTheLegendsDie]

i like mgmt. performace doesn't look good though. no live apsect is added.

[Fucabagman]

They are good live ive seen them you really have to see them live thou they put on fucking grade A show video doesnt do that much justice as being there does

[MattUrsua]

trufe :)

[blakebellamy82]

hey guys can youll watch my videos comment rate share and subscribe if you like.thx.

[Natydread32]

great band :)

[funktapus]

"The guys decided to sing the song by them selves for being in L.A. "

As opposed to...?

What do they usually do?

[axe002]

That's what they said, this was the encore, they came out said we're doing this one by our selves for being in LA.

[idioteque59]

I don't get it either.

Don't they always preform it this way?

[Zephyr540]

they said that because they were probably on shrooms at the time, and no im not putting them down

[B1llab0ng3]

the crowd sings reeeeeaaaally awfull xDD

[axe002]

yeah they did, I couldn't cause I was recording : )

[loveelle94]

none of them are gay watch the 60 second interview... last person you kissed: my girlfriend, my girlfriend

[xmusikxjunkyx]

loll I though it was really funny when they picked up the guitars lol..it was so random and funny... I think it was the only point of it.. not to pretend they were playing lol well maybe.. They looked High also ahah:P

My favorit song!!! <3 I would love to see them live!!! some day I guess

[iggypoprox]

lol why did they pick up the guitars?

[iggypoprox]

lol man obviously they arent playing it just looked so fake no need for name calling

[jbsteely]

lmao "he's using the top of my head to stablize myself"

[axe002]

it's true :)

[adiksadiatabs]

is this just a promo appearance or a real concert? a lot of artists do live promotions with prerecorded tracks instead of playing live....karaoke night?

[axe002]

Hi! this was a real concert. It was actually one of their first concerts. I paid 12 bucks for the ticket.

[adiksadiatabs]

knowing that it is, it kind of disappointments me that they don't actually play their songs live (not just mgmt but a number of acts do it too).

[mmmchinawong]

they play the rest of their songs live, they just do this one karaoke style

[SamplesKilledMusic]

thinking its probably the situation and facilities the place has wether its worth play live or just "live"

[eamo08]

Eh no, this 'actually' definetly was not one of their first concerts they performed as early as 2005 in Vermont. O dude your head must be blessed by that brief encounter, lmao, way to go dude haha

[steve4bomb]

wow how bad ass, i want to go to a concert and have someone step on my head too :DD

..not -_-

[kozo47]

great!

[mileyoreilly07]

[majsnerka]

[billyblanks99]

[KillMeSlowly9]

ROFLMAO

[myvidsucks3]

[TheSchimmi]

[brn932]

[puddingcups]

[WhyNotTruth]

I love it!! Anti-rock in it's purest form.

[puddingcups]

[kuso]

[Riekeyou]

Love to MGMT!!!

[Davariuz]

[00funkfish00]

[lloplop]

[djZiego]

[Supermouse92]

No,they dont have an irish accent,im just saying that i like their accent..:)

[dogpup23]

[Supermouse92]

I really like their accent...I'm Irish lol :)

[dogpup23]

do they have an irish accent? i didnt hear one, but i'm kinda new to this band so i wouldnt really know ^^

[alien6crowe]

they are from teh US from Brooklyn

[chokeslamcena]

they look really 1970's or something dont they?

[argola]

cale a boki

[McNutterbutter]

lucky bastard. andrew was all up on you

[mayjay88]

is it me or does anyone else want to rip that shirt from andrew??? i just have this urge to go do it!

[daveisafatty]

theallegory the fact that they deont play guitar in this songs alows them to mess about with them and i dont know wever uve ever seen them live but there both normally trippin on ecstatcy haha

[theallegory]

^ the people in this video = reason i didnt see mgmt at mccarren pool

also: what's with not actually performing the song? i mean, it would be ok if they didn't pretend to be using their guitars.

[imamacyoureapc]

I think they always performed "Kids" by just using the backing track and singing over it, they usually do it as a intro or encore as far as I know.

[KewnBr0]

yeah teh fuck-tards singing along is annoying

[WallisLad]

I know i know.

SHAT THE FACK UP!

[kuempface1034]

i sure you wouldnt say that if you were there and liked that song

[JustOneGunner]

The people (besides the band) singing are fucking annoying D:

[sheenstar21]

i lov this clip. i keep watching it over again n wishing i was there. there coming to australia fo the first time n so psyched about it. i cant wait!!!!

who cares if theyre indie or not theyre fkn awesome!!!!

[jubbalubbadubba]

you can only be an "indie" band for so long...

[sinade06]

they arent indie

in an interview they said they didnt want to be considered indie, they said rolling stones werent an indie band. and they wanted a castle and you couldnt get a castle being an indie band.

[jubbalubbadubba]

nice.

[jessicaa123321]

ahaha...fuck off?:)

[jessicaa123321]

they are indie well probely electro/indie. ^o)!!!!! indies supposed to be a loose style. There totally loose.

[jkwon47]

please dont post again ever

[jonch070]

indie has changed drasticaly in meaning,

it used to be (in regular context) that if a band was indie, they were truly independant

now when me and my friends say something is indie, its usualy just describing a type of music or style that could, in the true sense, not be indie at all, but rather sound it

indie labels are in my opinion promote the sound and are not nessisarily good or bad

[Dessaliciouss]

i don't know WHAT IT IS... BUT this song puts a smile on my face every time!

[talktal]

first of all, you obviously never been to the echoplex. it's hardly maidson square. second, they were on cantora records. old man, you're out of the loop.

[annathewe]

What is with the guitars, I mean, seriously?

[LaurennAliicexx]

defintly the song of summer.

cant wait to see them in manchester

[lovethemusic000]

That's funny that he was touching your head.

[bnfan19]

okay so i'm from alabama... i went to new york about a month ago and heard this song in urban outfitters... i absolutely loved it and was afraid i would never know what it was until i used sond id on my verizon phone... thank you verizon for helping me disover this amazing band... yes i know i sound like a geek but MGMT is tha shit... been listening to them non stop sense i got their cd... woo!!

[Deathdealed]

MGMT FUCKING ROCKS!

[mattjmd]

i LOVE mgmt and this is hands down my favorite song by them, but i seriously believe there is nothing more gay than holding guitars, dancing around, and not playing the guitars. seriously. it's weak that they just sing it over a recording too. encore, LA, or not, play the music. it's stuff like this that makes indie bands seem so lame: they're not playing music!!!!!! i hate to say it, but that's really.......

G A Y

[HoracioGo15]

thats pretty true

[talktal]

i've never seen another indie band do that.  normally, mainstream acts do that

[stephenouve]

but how are they supposed to play that song on guitar? its obviously all synth wut a drum machine so how are they supposed to play it live if one of them plays synth?

[imnotvic]

well, i have a band and we have a synth that my friend plays during the show

[AndThenTheManCame]

i THINK they played it live at reading this year?

[DennyGuyy]

They definately did at Leeds and it was the best song of the whole day tbh.

Absolutely amazing .
