Congratulations (new song) - MGMT Live at Prospect Park (Brooklyn)

[mattstatictv]

Any idea what guitar is he using?

[llc263]

Godel, Escher, Bach...

[Toro953]

thanks for the video mate!

[llc263]

Hey kid me thinks Imma compuuuta that actually feels.

Congrats for making this song for 'inside job' credit role. The praying mantis story is rad. I love your bizarro brilliant imaginations so congratulations.

Brian Eno ( all your art) is crazy awesome.

But 'Time to Pretend' was your breakthrough treasure and reminds me of a very special uplifting 'G' ... He knows who he is. Forget the kind of (G) a lil madoff/tammy taylor 'alias' in making said about (not so much)TRUELY (Gifted/Genius) (G

[DJMdalia]

Aww look at their hair!!!!!!! Lol. They sound so nice live,sometimes his voice quivers,so cute..lol

[tayyhranica]

[Green12a]

@Blueberry488 yes he is!!! x_x im obsessed with him

[lilpanr104]

I think i would only hear MGMT saying "RIP Jimi Hendrix" if any other band said it...

[skunkradioDOTnet]

not bad for a single handheld camera

[J0rdanMan]

and all the motherfuckers that died, rest in peace.

[slushpup9696]

What guitar is that at 2:00? It looks like some type of Telecaster.

[023132]

@slushpup9696 Andrews using a custom made St. Blues 61 South

[Blackberry851]

who are the three people that voted this video up to 423..i mean its a good video but if its at 420 just leave it cooommmaaaannnnnnnnnnn!

[leonafemin]

Try BAN, FUNK IT, amazing new tune!!!

[CYLECRAZYCYLE]

I wonder how man pounds of pot were smoked at this concert

[IsiahDrums]

@CYLECRAZYCYLE probably about 420.

[Jacobsideways64]

[jcftwihb]

2:23 - 2:37 nice trip!

[bloody891]

Great video!! Im so envy I wish some day I see them live ;D

[SoaringMuse]

damn. andrew's voice isn't actually as nice live IMO. for some reason it sounds better in the studio. this is probably my favorite song on Congratulations though =]

[danthejunkie]

if you don't like it then leave your negative comments to yourself you stupid fucks, let us happy kids enjoy it, so fuck off and have a nice day.

[oliviawalters]

Even better live :)

[gogogadgetboomstick]

This is a really bad attempt at writing a ween song.

[itswafflex3]

if you're really a MGMT fan you should like all their albums. am i right? just love them for who they are eventhough they have evolved in a musical way.

[GirlyrainZubZero]

HES SOOOO HOT

[CalitmeWhoLoveA]

beautiful song live  <3<3

[CalitmeWhoLoveA]

love the keyboards in this song <3<3 and Andrew's voice

[raphaluzzz]

[SunnyMason]

His hair is short!!!!

[goodcabbage]

Aw people are talking, how rude.

Maybe I'm a hypocrite because I would be screaming. <3

[aerlingus18]

the bassist sure took his time haha

[Skrubybrother]

and peace to all the motherfuckers that died!!!!! peace!!!

[cactupus69]

beautiful guitar!

[juanpolar]

it sounds like a dylan tune of the 70s

[Joseline1975]

This is awesome. I missed this show ; (

[translinkbc005]

Congrats is the more complete album IMO. Every track is awesome.

[Eeli2008]

I think the new album is the one that you can listen over and over again...You can taste the flavors little by little each time you listien to it. I love that, the songs seem to mellow yet you fall for them at first hearing.

[gucccibabe07]

i love this song, your videos are the best! thanks

[theocean1973]

this song reminds me of "a day in the life"

[Landerkuh]

I really love this song. It needed some time to like their album but I'm really into it right now. Indie !!

[ranchodelaluna]

this might be my fav mgmt, but that all depends on the dosage of narcotics inside me at the given moment

[Orangejuiced1969]

you didnt show ben once during his solo WHAT THE FUCKKKK

[stankler]

i think rip Marc Bolan as this sounds a fuck lot like a t rex tune

[Shadowin77]

beautiful guitar!!

[carlawatches]

Ah, Andrew is soo cute!

[mysitespace]

OH MY GOD HE HAS THE MOST BEAUTIFUL ARMS.

[MrFibertiger]

@mysitespace ha what?

[mysitespace]

@MrFibertiger

you know. his arms. they're pretty freakin beautiful. not too juiced up, but not too skinny like a little boy's arms. the perfect size for him.

[MGMTpretendingIsKey]

andrews voice is so beautiful i could fall asleep to sound of him singing every night (his real voice)

[MosaicTelevison]

MGMT are who they are. You either appreciate their music, or the singles. Some people just can't expand what they listen to beyond the top 40 on the radio. But if you are able to actually appreciate good music you would see that both albums are so different pieces of work that you can't even comapre you just have to listen to them individually. It's all about the music man. <3

[ClearThinkingLuz]

“Rest in peace Jimi Hendrix, rest in peace to all the motherfuckers who died.” haha, I guess?

[sabatosh]

is that a huge weiner?

[sosofresh145]

they need more than a congradulations on this album

[whiskerwisher]

they seem so happy on stage, but during intterviews, they seem sad and unenthusiastic.

[whoisjaymon]

i dunno why people hate on the new album. its cuz people wanted to hear more dancey songs. but the new album is just amazing. i cant stop lisening to it. it was a genious concept album and it just shows the diverse styles theyre capable of. i cant wait to hear the next album.

[catorforn1]

congratulations!!! this whole album sux!!

[whoisjaymon]

@catorforn1 well you sir are an idiot. go put yer lady gaga cd back on and stop bitching. why are you looking up youtube videos of shit you dont even like... hater!

[catorforn1]

@whoisjaymon I actually love this band but u polish a peice of shit all day long, in the end no matter how much production or editing u put in its still a piece of shit!!!! id rather listen to britney spears than stomach this!!!!

[whoisjaymon]

@catorforn1 wait. u just said u love the band? wtf are you talking about you'd rather listen to britney spears?

[dcrtz]

this is a wonderful video! :))) great job, honestly :)

[JOEDONUT]

@dcrtz Thanks I always try to put some effort in my videos. I think of what the audience wants to see most. I almost didn't record this song that night. Glad I did!

[JamesVanh]

hahaha 1:38, gotta love the piano dude bobbing his head

[TjtheTrapper]

andrew's jacked

[videoartist26]

RIP Jimi hendrix

[eclaireurspatial]

My personal favorite of their new album (which is great ;-p)

[XhighOnLyfX]

I really hope they perform in Brooklyn this summer =) I love this song and every song on their new album even more than Kids, Electric Feel, and Time to Pretend. Don't get me wrong, those songs rock. However, the feel f the new album seems true to their style. <3333 MGMT

[bolansglitter]

I think u have the best vids of mgmt on here!!!! :-)

[PoppaPurp]

His guitar is sooooo tight.

[vil0001]

@prammaven They are brilliant! They really are my favourite band if this time, possilbly of all time.

[thedefaultcode]

Congratulations, in my opinion, is far better than Oracular Spectacular. I never really liked Time to Pretend anyway.

[ajjunebug]

God Andrew is my baby daddy one day luv on you<33333

[goodfellas11285]

Actually for a concert that is good filming

[EnclosedSilence]

I love it.

[legomyfego]

damn such a great fuckin song

[AquaOliver123]

i think i died. :3

[Bencake1337]

god your fucking camera skills are failfailfailafialfaifalafiafla­ifafalfail

[JOEDONUT]

@Bencake1337 Let's see your video of MGMT playing Congratulations live then. Hmmm. I guess there's a reason 181 thousand people watch this one the most. :^)

[WhattaChamp]

@JOEDONUT 190 thousand now =D

[midgetcub134]

@JOEDONUT @Bencake1337 haha burrrrnnnnnnn. great video man. dont worry bout the haterz. loll

[pureecstasy]

fav song off the album, for now

[butterball88888888]

aw this song makes sad and reflective.

[lololpwned]

It pisses me off when I hear mindless mainstream sheep talk about how much better the first album was. If you actually listened to the whole first album, you can definitely tell that there was a good amount of British 70's influence. It was inevitable that the second album would go completely non-mainstream and rid of all that crap everyone was making up about them being "electro-pop." The UK audiences seem to understand music so much better.

[meistermeist]

this album is way better. this song is about regret for their last album

[TheSidneyft]

oracular spectacular

[Ancaferocks4ever]

is it me or do they not seem that hippie-ish anymore ( i mean, like really recently) ? they're still amazing, but they're like not wearing the headbands or anything...

[bannabell24]

They are so bitchin awesome. All their songs are so different. They have amazing lyrics. Love it!

[cinthyahealy]

My favorite from this album!!!

[pumpkill]

@cinthyahealy agreed!

[Skittles2372]

Andrew is SOO cute! I like him a lot better with his long scruffled hair look though, but either or he is really cute! I love this song btw

[JapanAlex01]

faggots

[XxxkOiZoRaxxX]

*starry-eyed*

[iRyanification]

I watched one of MGMT's early videos where andrew started soloing, gave up after 10 or so seconds, and just threw off his shirt haha

But he's actually good at guitar now. Love this band, even depeche mode are talking them up

[MLshelbs]

who gives a shit which album is better!? they're awesome

[bellibulle1]

Now they look like they know what they are doing on stage. Good stuff, I love the live version!

[xkeeper20x]

i love mgmt

[SweetKooshy]

bad ass guitar lol

[mpp104]

This guy sux with the camera...

[ravemaster54321]

greatest band.

[paladaisu]

I love this song!

[brimentos]

i'm sick of people fighting over which album is better. can't we all just listen to the beautiful music mgmt make no matter what album it is off?

[JOEDONUT]

@brimentos You think you're sick of it? I get a notification for each comment everyone posts on here and I usually read em all! But whatever.

[KorgEggs05]

@JOEDONUT hahahahahhaha poor guy, nice vid man

[aceracer19]

@JOEDONUT Haha classic. The way I see it. I have a few songs i like on OS I like better, but I like congratulations as a whole better. All in all I think its silly to argue over how one of the cd's is better. But I do think someone who only likes OS (or in particular songs off of OS) and not congratulations is not as big of a fan they might make themselves out to be. This is MGMT at their best!

[noisyrag]

@brimentos I agree! Everyone just enjoy the music and shut up!

[killergirbot]

@brimentos congratulations i personally like better but who knows man mgmt isthe soundtrack to my life this past 2 years that and the new gorillaz album

[bloody891]

@brimentos I love ur coment 100& right!

[SuperMsifiableful]

sometimes I feel sorry for not born on 60ies but this song brings hope that it is still possible

[DubyaDubyaE]

They seem to be ALOT better live with songs off their new album than songs off their last. Because Oracular Spectacular had alot more electronic/dance in it while this has more instrumental feels incorporated. I was kinda iffy on seeing them live, but I'm super excited to see them in Chicago now because they sound great with their songs off Congratulations.

[eclaireurspatial]

One of the bests songs on the album!! Love it, it's so relaxing and stuff...

[yeahyeahyaha2]

RIP Jimmi hendrix

[interwebawesomness]

MGMT said that this album was going to be one that kind of defines the band more...not to say that their older stuff isn't their style anymore it's just an album to show how they've grown as a band and how they can create more than just techno-ie jam songs....it was kind of a risk to release it as their third album but that;s just who they are

[jeremyrr182]

damn this reminds me of david bowie

[023132]

i hate when people say this album sucks. They made this album to weed out all of the people who say "ya im a fan of MGMT" when all they know is kids and time to pretend. People who say this.... go die

[thebigbear101]

the first thing i did when i got this album about 5 days ago was take lsd to it and there were some songs that were amazing and some were decent to me the best was flash delrium

[askfg]

Just the most relaxing song ever :)

[TheZachp22]

oh my goodness i love this song

[Mithrandir901]

Most people will say it sucks becuase most people were just fans of Time To Pretend and Kids which were dance type songs which everyone seems to like but their new album is more indie and 60s psychadelic which i think is better because it reflects more of who they are and not just another pop dance artist

[Magnumxl711]

@Mithrandir901 ACk, sorry i meant to vote you up but I accidentally gave you a thumbs down =\

[vil0001]

@Mithrandir901 they dont consider themselves indie or psychadelic. they consider themselves a pop band influneced by pschadelic music.

[illiniguy88675309]

@Mithrandir901 I couldn't agree more. They remind me of 60's rock almost. This is something that you would see at Woodstock. Their new album is by far their best.

[MGMTpretendingIsKey]

@Mithrandir901 is think this is one of there best songs live andrews voice is fits perfect for it actually i love all there songs live or not there music is just beautiful <3<3<3<3

[domesticcaribou]

@Mithrandir901 this is my favorite song on the album, and probably oracular spectacular too

[MGMTpretendingIsKey]

@domesticcaribou me too and i think this is there best song live

[TopDogCrowned65]

Their new album was a let down for me and I'm a huge fan.... It just seems weak compared to how revolutionary time to pretend was.

[Colourbend]

@TopDogCrowned65

Time to Pretend was a song, not the album

[TopDogCrowned65]

@Colourbend nowhere in my comment did I say time to pretend was an album. I just thought it was like nothing any one has ever heard before. opposed to the bland new album. pull your head out of your ass man

[braveryrock73]

I love this song Soooooooooooooooo much and i need a congratulations

[problematik1]

@braveryrock73 congrats FAAAAAGEEEEEEEEEEEEEETTTTTTTTT­TT

[Darin847]

@problematik1 you can't even spell faggot, fuck off kid.

[pinstripejohnny]

wow, they're terrible live

[sakigirl87]

Oh Joe...I watch this vid almost nightly...I am going to see them at the House of Blues on June 7th...can't wait!

[yesno557]

what guitar is andrew using

[Rosler82]

@yesno557 its a st blues i think

[damanfrommars]

Autofocus much?

Still good video though

[lebowskirulz]

This songs pretty good, but the album as whole didnt do it for me

[ThePantsofBattery09]

Great song, great album, and a great band. I'm a huge indie fan and they're different from anyone out there IMO. I love the direction they've gone in...very late 60s - early 70ish sounding. And dare I say, I think I like it more than Oracular Spectacular...much deeper it seems.

[tictack0]

i love you MGMT <3

[ThePoissonrouge14]

I love this song <3

[sunnybeach3]

im sorry this is their best song... and i did love their last album so much more, but in this album they just show little to no talent ... this band is capable of much more

[tylkopolak]

this sucks jimmy hendrix dick as well as himself.

Damn this is bad. Such a change in 2 years?? wow

[FLAMINGzeppelin92]

@tylkopolak . I'm sorry, I'm a bit confused. Are you saying that Jimi Hendrix sucks. You spelled Jimi wrong by the way.

[mashburnfilm]

This song is good...the rest of the album sucks.

[TTairraidTT]

How do you go from awesome to shitty in a matter of two years?.......these guys blow now. Glad MGMT had their run and paved the way for some awesome bands but seriously....take your music seriously and get off the smack. I wont buy this album

[fatallyattractiv89]

@TTairraidTT I totally get this is your opinion & I probably thought the same after I heard this song the first time last year. But when I gave the whole album a few listens & understood the idea behind this difference, I was blown away.

MGMT successfully infiltrated the mainstream, & then filtered out the fans that would truly understand & appreciate their real style of music/lyrics; that is exactly what this album has done. I am a more devoted fan than ever before. I'm sorry that you are not.

[urta93]

@fatallyattractiv89

Couldn't agree more.

[sabydaby]

lol why the shout outs to Jimi Hendrix?? These guys must be so high

[fizerob]

@sabydaby No idea I guess you can't go wrong w/ a shout out to Hendrix because he's the shit. You're right though I bet these boys are sky high.

[boonatwork]

best song of the new album

[hmmmX3]

Amazing live, Love this track!!

[kmylo4]

at first... i thought it was a girl on the drums.... O.O

[MrSebz123]

(notice everyone's having a conversation)..

[tita78]

I'm so sorry - I love their music - but this song is kind of lame...

[downeykid555]

This song makes me feel indifferent toward others.

[lavastrat]

They will get more positive criticism for the new change.

If they just stuck to the same thing everyone would be like " ahh its just sounds the same"

[midgetcub134]

their most relaxing song ever..

[ledisko00]

5 more days until I get to hear this beautiful thing in person.

This song is seriously wonderful.

[ajaakola]

they thought they were going to get some crazy shit...then got tucked in for a good nights rest

[xDorkyManiacx]

fuck the charts!

[daedley]

I love andrew he's so awesome. But their music is just beyond words. Wow I love their new album and their new direction.

[MrBlarson16]

check out and download MGMT's whole new album....

watch?v=xZdfBr7ljtg

[rhiannonwalsh]

Ben is the most amazing person in the world. . . . Just saying (:

x

[123456pfloyd]

if u want the album the band posted it on their site

[jasdevil12]

How come Indie sounds sooo good but it nvr make it to the top 10 in the charts?

[CN073]

@jasdevil12 Because they don't pay the radio stations to play their songs.

[motherdadder]

@CN073 they played time to pretend, kids, electric feel like it was their fucking jobs. i guess the paid em

[CN073]

@motherdadder Or the label did.

[curtisthompson34]

some people in the crowds can be fucking pricks to the bands

[TheCarmineEternity]

Hipster faegs

[ledisko00]

"Steinways and Baldwins"

hey those are the pianos I've had/I have!

[ledisko00]

ahhhh it's like floating in heaven

[chh10269]

sounds like the killers

Are you fucking kidding me? killers suck balls, ahah try again, or get your hand away from the fm dial retard, i have the album(yes i found it online hah) and this song is good, and in no case does it sound like those sello
