MGMT - Time To Pretend (Glastonbury 08)

[TBW92]

great song but god damn he's way too high to sing it right

[TheRabidabbey]

Perhaps they just suck live

[ViewTheEpic]

Holy Shit, they are amazingly high during this performance.

[vicepc8]

@TheJellybabies98 lol i would say high as f*ck

[GouveiaN]

you are singing, what about open your fuckin mouth ?

[haze9five1]

@GouveiaN How about you shut yours?

[DXD500]

I seriously like MGMT. Most of their songs. But jesus good lord christ they are boring as hell live. Complete lack of energy.

[Xtratix]

i hate how he whispers when he sings...shit!!! still love these guys...just wish vocalist would open his mouth

[GnomisBosque]

este tema is great!

[daniellfrom777]

the song is awesome... but their voices remind the choir of my local church.

[willzer808]

not one to complain about bad live vocals, especially if it is a great track, but the vocals here are damn poor

[5183731]

Wow they suck live..hes not even singing in the original octave.

[Jaymtz25]

I'll move to Paris, shoot some heroin, and fuck with the stars. ✌

[weekendchannel2]

this was the performance in John Peel stage or Park Stage??

[weekendchannel2]

@weekendchannel2 PARK STAGE

[f0lieadeux27]

[eddie5181]

FUCK WITH THE STARS ?

[contadino77]

[NewDubstepNow]

[winkyfacewinkyface]

He is absolutely GORGEOUS.

[hhelloklara]

When I grow up I wanna be Andrews microphone.

[austinpodann]

Lmaoo im tryin so hard to see if i can find anyone in the crowd that looks like they are tripping hard lol, altho if they are on acid they will probly just have their eyes closed and be dancing and waving their arms, like 90% of the people on the floor.

[Itsuumi]

when Andrew sings it looks like he's gently kissing a micro XDDDD <3

[cammarn123]

his pupils are big as fuck hahaha

[dacunas]

andrew is so damn hot!

[MaNuEl3sk8]

I'm Hippie 'cause I don´t use Facebook, but shit! I'm using YouTube :'(

[TheNachoOne]

[Blew612]

[meiwannacookies]

[Erwinjdj]

[TheAmericanArts]

@Loolaanon

[PinkBananaFilms]

[1MUFC]

[PumpMyKicksBitch]

[tiesje93]

matt: bass man!

ben: such a beast

James: Jesus!

will: god likeee

Andrew: BOSS!

Mgmt: Best thing ever happened.

[jimjamjames82]

sounds like he's whispering.

[alexinlondon1]

1st glasto out of 3, johns peel stage always amazing with rain outside!!!

[MissTeenPregnancy]

i like the soft sounding live version. it's real, raw, not all over 'effect'ed. really cool

[crutt1026]

there songs are so trippy yet thats what makes them catchy

[SrTb0y05]

they were probably stoned out of their mind(:

[oobaby85]

@SrTb0y05 why do people like you think all their songs are about drugs? jesus christ stop with that hipster bullshit, they obviously were not stoned. You have probably never touched a drug and say this ignorant shit so you look cool.

[arcon101]

i like mgmt, but his voice is too soft in this video

[WishingOnClouds]

andrew's mouth... enough fucking said

[Mechanismomusica]

They do not do this awesome track justice live, sorry. It sounds flat, lethargic and phoned-in. The singing is absolutely horrendous: half wispered and often off key. Come on guys. Not very pro. 

[TheIsisore]

@Mechanismomusica would you rather they lip-sync with a recorded track playing in the background and fake instruments.

[Mechanismomusica]

@TheIsisore How is this a matter of playback vs. live performace? I'd rather they just bloody SING the song like they're supposed to, and not dish out these apathetic, weak vocals.

[TheIsisore]

@Mechanismomusica thats how they perform live. they are not like very hard rocky and energetic. they are more layed back and easy going so they dont play as strong. that and they are completely fucked up.

[MartaStarbucks]

Andrew´s face at 1:43 *-*

Love this song live...

[KrustyDGK]

Anyone know who headlined this show?

[SouthEastSouth]

@KrustyDGK Theese Guys brooo

[SimplySmashingPro]

hate to be a hipster but I saw these guys open for beck long ass time ago before they were big. I had no idea they would go big.

[mellowgold15]

@SimplySmashingPro I can see them opening for beck

[Habbeeee]

@SimplySmashingPro: I don't found them before they were big, but why should  i care of that ?

[rattyvee]

@SimplySmashingPro well I've seen Beck & MGMT and they were both pretty crap. Both over-rated with a couple of good tunes each

[spjunkie]

@SimplySmashingPro Now the question.. do you resent them for being "big"? (I'm not accusing just asking because I'm curious on your perspective) I actually went to school with Andrew (several grades below me) and I think it's kinda cool he's successful.

[rockisbetter]

''the models will have childrem, well get a divorce,, find some other models.. hehehehehe

[rockisbetter]

the guy cant sing, he whispers lol wtf!!!

[sinclairmyers]

good english speaking skills bigboss333, your post is has fucking full of wonderful rolls

[ninfam74]

80% of the crowd are rolling face. and probabaly 100 % of the band as well

[TeajBeryl]

MGMT are the fucking shit!!!!!! :D

[5054141799]

Compare this 2010.

[Steinka96]

@5054141799 Who do you think is better?

[5054141799]

@Steinka96

Personally I like this one more.

They weren't as huge, but they still rocked as hard as they do now.

But there are a lot more people at 2010, either way. They are fantastic.

[cityumag]

i GOT SOMe models asked for the divorce but the bitches took ma money and now aint got no money to shoot heroin or buy coke.

I'M FATED TO PRETEND

[sarahshiner]

it's probably funny to sing the song of how you imagined rock star life when you're kinda rock star now

[mgmtrace1]

How can that 1 person not like this, look and listen to that crowd.

[hojun7273]

@LostInAusten17 I asked James that question once and he told me that it's an '83 Strat in Seafoam Green with a custom headstock. I've met MGMT before

[MyHarus]

I have a question to english/american people - do you understand words in this performance? I'm just learning english and I wonder if it's bad that I can understand 10% of words in this video.

[HundparkenSvisse]

@MyHarus it takes a while to get used to hearing words. And the music can be quite distracting. Try and read the lyrics until you can hear the words yourself. :)

I can hear all the words, but at the same time i'm a massive fan, and i've been reading english for 4 years, so i don't think i'm the one to judge.

Just keep up the good work!

[theresaps]

@MyHarus its fine, im full american and the first time i heard this song i didnt understand it at all once you get used to his tone youll hear all the lyrics.

[keekikins]

@MyHarus Don't worry about it. I'm a native speaker and I'm not catching every word. I would suggest looking up the lyrics though and trying to learn them. I've been doing that with Spanish and it's a really fun/easy way to increase your proficiency and vocabulary

[vincegaga]

i can barely hear andrew sing

[LostInAusten17]

pea green fender?? what ever it is i love it

[oinkster96]

@LostInAusten17 are you talking about james' guitar? i think it's a jeff beck stratocaster in surf green..

[elfelixg]

Fecking hell these guys are woodstocky and full of loveliness, awesome....

[soulkw]

@elfelixg psychodelic ;D

[nikhthatsme]

let's make some music, make some money, find some models for wives :)

[mgmtrace1]

A lovely smile Andrew!!
