[roadtonever]

If you like this song check out King Crimson.

[CarterJohnFilms]

@roadtonever I love king crimson!! I know, this song is so like them!! :D

[ilovemgmt23]

this is my favorite live performance

[juakosanz]

the solo is very tounge-in-cheek really

[b22frozenfire]

@juakosanz how can the solo be sarcastic? that is what tounge in cheek means right?

[juakosanz]

@b22frozenfire it was a joke, look at james at the solo, his TOUNGE is against hes CHEEK.

[b22frozenfire]

@juakosanz oh.....i don't understand so much english. sorry

[neykino]

Sin duda alguna, es mi favorita :D <3

[HippieDude1414]

their lead guitarist is to awkward in this video

[wapitiie]

@HippieDude1414 no james is amazing <3

[divastar226]

I love this song even more live, usually its like the opposite. It really shows how good they truly are

MGMT <3

[eric94234]

They're great live.

[ilovemgmt23]

he sez yeah lik a stoner.....

[jaylahboo]

now this is a song you have sex too

[poketzan2]

who play the solo????

[djcliff83]

@poketzan2 james

[EazyMonkeyProduction]

What type of effect does he use for the solo?

[ChablesMan]

@EazyMonkeyProduction The first solo he uses a wah pedal, the second it sounds lik he uses a stereo flanger.

[jmmv]

3:17 - 5:36 *.*



[neykino]

@jmmv I know! <3 I love it!

[FMinor211]

I love the songs where they're all singing.

[ocealucia]

Communication.

Is easy as the ocean.

[jdubayou12]

DAMN James just makes this song

[FreakySimmer]

When Andrew bites his lip at 0:25, omg... x___x;

[FreakySimmer]

When Andrew bites his lip at 0:25, omg... x___x;

[RyanO1227]

I saw them on Saturday at USopen and James is really starting to come out of his shy, awkward shell, right before they played the handshake as an encore, James told everyone to throw their left shoe up there, literally 300 people threw their shoes for him, it was fucking insane

[ThePaulpFiction]

This song is just sooo cool. Everything about it.

[FriendlyShadow1]

They could show Ben and Matt for more than two seconds...

[ilise96]

GO JAAAAMES! That was pretty wicked.

[Longhornzrock96]

MGMT is one of the most overlooked and underrated bands right now. James kills it in this video. WOW

[MrSkinnyBuh]

@Longhornzrock96 are they really overlooked? I feel they are pretty popular

[Longhornzrock96]

@MrSkinnyBuh I mean in the sense that everyone likes them for songs like "Kids" and "Time to Pretend". When in reality they are so much better than those songs. Congratulations BLEW my mind. 

[landoncheyenne]

James = No. fucking. words.

<3

[TheStatutoryGrape]

@landoncheyenne He's wonderful, isn't he? Doesn't receive anywhere near the credit that he deserves.

[MgMt99]

any1 notice james jaw moves!itz creppy

[PendingGeneration]

@MgMt99 his mouth is probably just stuffed with chewing tobacco haha

[MgMt99]

@PendingGeneration hahahaX]

its jus soo creepy

[TheMajka987]

omg i love this song :)))

[ecstasyandfriends]

andrew looks so cute <3

[nicolina429]

@ecstasyandfriends Alwayyss (:



[thejennmagz]

while my dad and i were listening to this song, he confessed that he'd taken lsd haha

[alexisn1993]

 what a champ

[jefferyj823]

@thejennmagz hahah this made my day

[mizzfinnay123]

Every time I listen to this song I find something new to love about it.

[technicolorboy]

this makes me want a wahwah pedal..

[DarkAngelEU]

still the best version of this song <3

[cornonthecobweb]

Holy psychadellia

[starrisbomb]

amazing. only this is I wish James didn't put his tongue in his cheek like that. XD

[cuboarding2]

Simply living the life

[Dime067]

I had no idea James was that good at guitar! He blew my fucking mind

[xXEatTheRainbowXDXx]

James's solo was fucking awesome XD

[FMinor211]

This should have like a million views by now, what the FUCK

[mitrojsr]

@FMinor211 is nothing sacred?

[FMinor211]

@mitrojsr Haha nice point, I'll think that way for now on ;) thanks!

[kcazzz]

@FMinor211 im working on it

[ItsHolyShit]

they are so amazing live..

[XXILoveAMrotek7XX]

i reeeeaally wish i was andrew's guitar....

[kristel0073]

i love them so muchhhhhhh, i wish they could come to guatemala!!! LOVEYOU ANDREW AND BEN

[ccmarymannmens]

the guitar solo that starts at 3.35 makes my heart melt

[FrostLagoon]

@ccmarymannmens Amen.

[023132]

dont get me wrong hendrix is my favourite guitarist (james is up there too) and MGMT is my favourite band but that solo at the end sounded nothing like henndrix. The solo in the middle I can hear a bit of jimi though.

[mschoco12345]

where's ben!

[rejectedchik89]

@mschoco12345 Ben was there, silly! That was him at 0:40 seconds

[MrHammy1312]

James Richardson on the guitar!!!!!!

[twokindsofhappiness]

I think he's an amazing vocalist!

[sts9lotus]

that was fucking sick

[sahartyman]

even though i loved the cover… the lead guitar was too loud

[3drakos]

incredible, Andrew is such a sxc kid

[tomasmontana14]

increibles..el solo es deslumbrante, te hace volar a neptuno

[Verse34k]

man outro riff is so freakin incredible....

[AirHendrix91]

After seeing a couple of their live vids, Andrew's voice is bad live....

[Titouchose]

I love MGMT so much... but he's such a bad singer in live performance.

[tomasmontana14]

@Titouchose his voice sounds perfect.. perfect symetry with the music and the atmosphere

[SniperCinema]

@Titouchose Not anymore, in 2008 he wasn't great, but he improved a ton.

[trabajarhablar]

the non-singles on oracular spectacular are all amazing

[soostoned]

He's a wreck.

[celebrant9]

Orgasmic outro. James and Will are on fire!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[ilyshaunwhite]

Andrew is so sexy

[SeLFClan]

Only Jimi Hendrix Can have sex with his guitar. But then again this guy knows how to do that too Great job guys (:

[Signal989]

@SeLFClan Well your statement is just logically incorrect.

[SeLFClan]

@Signal989 seeing how jimi hendrix created having sex with your guitar im pretty sure hes the master of it man. If you want to explain some more let me know please please do .

[v1kingfan]

@SeLFClan Jimi invented it, but that doesn't mean nobody else can do it as well. If Jimi was the only other guitarist to be able to do this, it just goes to show how skilled of a guitarist James is.

[GretschDstickSmoke]

dear god that has to be the sexiest rickenbacker bass i've seen in a while... 2004?

[mgmtrace1]

This sends you. Brilliant guitar work. MGMT forever.

[thetrueStaub]

This intro reminds me of he outro in Siberian Breaks

[breaku45]

@thetrueStaub i love the outro to siberian breaks

[SniffyShiza]

wicked melodic solo, so good

[dereksoundcloud]

this song is beyond epic, the outro shooots you straight into space.

[dereksoundcloud]

this song almost brought me to tears on lsd

[daneeehhhh]

6 people missed the "Like" button for a quarter inch ;)

[piparpuuka]

so...good!

[NicoleissoRADD]

sex.

[tnieman07]

wiener is hard

[RememberingJane]

Bloody hell...so good....cannot take this masterpiece.....*-*

[neptuneraven]

Jimi Hendrix would be proud of this band

[kagaingas]

@neptuneraven I don't think so... why you say so?

[neptuneraven]

@kagaingas Their sense of soul is beyond any pretentious band. I hope you're not thinking of my comment as a comparison to songs like Purple Haze or Voodoo Child, but if you pay attention to Jimi's rare albums like "The Cry Of Love" you'll find out what I'm talking about. I guess it was something I wanted to say just to praise the band :)

[psydux]

Do you know where I could find the exact tabs of this particular song? I mean, EXACT, because anything on the net is only vague approximations...thank you! Great video!

[TheAmericanArts]

my face exploded :D

[aerlingus18]

0.22-0.25 andrew forgot to turn the bath off

[SuperAlmostfan]

This one of the songs that everyone should love better live

[BenWeaverTV]

this might be a REALLY clishe comment but, jamess solo sounds like slash

[skateordie431]

@BenWeaverTV thats...an insult

[widgetmcblibber]

@BenWeaverTV it does sound a bit like the Sweet Child O' Mine solo

[YoureTerribl]

did not know james could play like that

[sprinklesonaplane]

i think that whenever something is liked 666 times they should just leave it. 667 is lameo.

[datkid2009]

666 likes?? and 6 dslikes?

[nintenden24]

yeah dude that would be awesome. a lot of people like me could figure it out but just dont have the time

[023132]

@MrHelloFran haha or you can just make a video so you dont have to tab it. either way thanks! :D

[023132]

@MrHelloFran if you know it, tab it! im sure many people would appreciate it including me

[jlmpeace27]

damn that shit made me sit and fit all my thoughts in at once,wow!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[eatmoregrapes]

james has some crazy guitar skills

[aaronaf5]

ohhh so thats how you have sex with your guitar...

[littlejoshkiller]

mgmt + pink floyd = GOD

[unamek]

The prick of a feather could make a kingdom burn and the bloodshed start The falling apart Made me a shadow in the shape of wonder The waves of black If she's going under I can hold my breath till the sky comes back Or drown like a rat, rat, rat He's a rat! To catch a monster We make a movie Set the tempo And cut and cut its brains out It will inspire on the burning pyre Half the distance Half the motion Communication It's easy as the ocean

[KonohaOwl]

they're sober you can tell haha

that was still great

[EminusJoshicus]

that was so good...

[goosengreen]

YEAH HUMP THAT AIR!

[vmac93]

you can tell how high james is at the end, shaking like fucking ray charles. hes SO deep into the music

[hendrix6]

i get high just by listening to this

[PeteyCrack1265]

hahahaha

[sonofamilkman]

This turned the album version into shit

[ChiTownHippie26]

I feel sorry for the 6 deaf people who tried to listen to this master piece and couldn't hear it.

[fletchdies]

@ChiTownHippie26

"masterpiece" Listen to Tame Impala for a rehashed 70s psych rock. You want modern masterpiece live performance....Watch glastonbury 2010 mumford and sons close it out with 'dust bowl dance' Thats a fucking masterpiece.

[mermaniful]

ive never heard james play so masterfully, his skill is awesome

[miepdetruus]

i want mushrooms..

[mcquick22]

One of the best guitar solos ive ever heard...up there with some amazing jimmy page sexy action

[ijljk]

This is like their best live performance in my opinion... Such a random place lol

[EnduroHock]

6 dislikes ?!?!?! cmon -.-

[capoeiraike]

This shit is hot

[Nackavich]

One of the best outros to a song. Ever.

[mantinizz]

wow. The best version. 10/10

[EuphoricFigure]

He clicked on the magic button after he ended his introduction to the greatest band in the world.

[slowdive3030]

much, much better then the MTV live version.

[mgmtrace1]

Great harmonies and so together. They are all good singers together.James is so talented on lead guitar. Love it.

[jasminexcooke]

FUCKING AMAZING

[CattyCatCats]

Of Moons,Birds and Monsters is MGMTs version of Pink Floyds Echoes(:

[bscherer08]

Fucking awesome.

[AllyVanwyngarden33]

I LOVE ANDREW! <3

[anchorrue]

6 People Have Been Brainwashed By Ke$h-Poop And Have Little To No Chance Of A Full Recovery :(

[gungrave515]

they are so fucking incredible.

i wonder how big they would be if they came out in the 70s.. if they had this sound before the people who inspired them were making music.

they would be living gods

[facelessxxxx]

@gungrave515 Living gods, fer sure.

[UniFreek33]

ILY ANDREW

[celebrant9]

What the FUCK is James doing to that guitar over there?

Sweet sweet love I tell ya!

Man....

[zavalael]

Best band ever? <3 Anyone that doesn't have Congratulations: the album is only $5 on Amazon for 2 more days ... such a good deal!!

[Longhornzrock96]

James starts jammin so hard his headphones fall off lol. What a beast

[evilmunki54]

5 people missed the Like button.

[MGMTpretendingIsKey]

@evilmunki54 yeah whats up with that lol

[Nuggifyable]

Best Grateful Dead tee ever. <3

[xxChocolateMalteaser]

This is by far my favourite song by them and that instrumental bit at the end is fucking amazing !

[ResSTL11]

3:47 hahaha with the weird look. After watching some interviews, you can see this guys pretty weird himself. But who cares, he can fucking jam. Fucking love this song

[warmlights]

!!!

[mgs0893]

The solo made me cum

[lilasam44]

Andrew looks like a baby a teen or some young genius anyway....wanna hug or eat him don't know...

[kmiao3]

It's pretty hard for a band like MGMT to emulate their sound live, but it's insane when they make it even fucking better.

[TheMinutez]

During the solo does he have a talk box or wah-wah pedal? I'm not sure cause hes moving his mouth like a talk box.

[APPLZ31dgc]

@TheMinutez yeah yeah! he uses a wah pedal :P

[Guitar10163]

the guitar breakdown at the end is amazing, anyone have tabs for it?

[023132]

@Guitar10163 I garentee you no body has a tab for that masterpiece if the was it would take like a month to play it the way james did

[iAMtheWALRUS6]

@023132 i wish i knew what chords andrew was playing, i just play bar chords over this song, looks like hes using a minor variant but the second chord i just cant figure out that little change he does.

[cj5jeep1]

@023132 Dis-agree... It is very hard to find though :) And just have pink floyd play it .

[snipelfritz]

@cj5jeep1 Too bad 2/5 of Floyd is dead and there's no way Roger Waters and David Gilmour would ever get back together(Live Aid being the exception, but that was a one-time thing).

Plus, isn't UG really the only place to find tabs since their servers are apparently buried in Siberia somewhere? I don't really know, I haven't searched for tabs in a while.

[TheMwalk]

james!!!!

[ChablesMan]

Why are these guys so awesome? WHAT DO THEY HAVE THAT I DON'T HAVE?!

[MGMTpretendingIsKey]

@ChablesMan everything lol

[SirBarneyGumble]

James may look retarded half the time, but he's an amazing guitarist, and that's the only thing that matters.

[6Biermacht6]

badass band!

[shhhazzle]

tingling chills

[megwit96]

sooooo amazing live! I saw them @ the greek theatre on 7/16. BEST CONCERT EVAR!
