MGMT - "Kids" - live at KROQ Weenie Roast May 2008

[xbox9788]

the crowds do suck!! i went this year to weenie roast and theres never no love for the side stage bands! And its like the bands suck, Young The Giant, Foster The People, The Airborne Toxic Event, Neon Trees. Young The Giant deserved so much love!! they were amazing!! i felt like i was the only one sing along and having hand up in the air! Same for Foster The People!!

[SuperMetalHead97]

OH HELL NO MGMT DID NOT COVER ALICE IN CHAINS

[DJRM2007]

Ha Ha...So Cal does sux, Way too pretentious I should now I have lived here all my life unfortunately. I only wished that L.A. was like Reading /Leeds then you would not be so far behind. By the way this song has been out since 2003 also as various version, The album version is the worst. The only one to blame here is the MGMT's MGMT. Put John Mayer at Monster Massive and see what happens.

[rams6992]

Id like to point out that this was in 2008, this album had just been released and that the only song that this crowd had probably heard up until this point ws "Kids" so maybe the UK or anyone else prepared to type some bullshit should attain a but more knowledge before they judge Southern California

[zootechnicsfuckurbut]

so kroq is doing kaaraoke now.u can tell these guys love playing that song.haha

[ramayomama]

it's just like bad karaoke live.

[gjbuford]

@ Tractorboy Tom... how are you supposed to get excited with two dudes standing on a stage singing to a recording? Dipshit... maybe American crowds expect a little more from their "rock stars." I am a fan of MGMT... but this is a AWFUL performance... not an awful CROWD.

[xXxGODSMACKxXx]

I wanted to see them but when I found out they just sing with the record I was highly disappointed and happy I didn't go.

[ContigoSinTi]

Omg, they are Hippys JAJAJAJJAJA .  but its a Super Song..

PEace : )

[avalanchealonso]

Man, those people in the audience look super duper old and bored out of their minds. Is this the typical KROQ Orange County crowd who end up winning and getting tickets for amazing bands that they seem not to have fun or be interested in? Then WE, the true fans of MGMT and concert enthusiasts, end up being stuck in the lawn or have to buy expensive tickets off scalpers, only to allow these concert hogs to be there in front of the stage to be bored? Wow!

[BxSQUIRREL]

i just liked this band 10x more when they did the AIC cover

[chelcee2010]

California or where the fuck in the U s of A.... OFFF... Come to Reading uk anytime day or night... you give , we bounce back, you bounce even more... we more so... British mentality.... Love you guys... MGMT....

[tgonella]

you know what sucks is when bands sing karaoke to their own songs

[llZosoll]

@tgonella

they only do it to kids

[GruntWhacker]

@tgonella mgmt heavily regrets recording this song because they knew they would get sick of playing it all the time. chill, its one song

[theponiesgonewild]

ANDREW YOU CRAZAY BITCH ^_^ u and urr tacoz

[theponiesgonewild]

ANDREW YOU CRAZAY BITCH ^_^

[ThenTheOtherGuySaid]

at 5:20, andrew yells CHORIZO TACOOOOO...

and everybody cheers lol

[EuphoricFigure]

@ThenTheOtherGuySaid lmao :D

[carlogz]

Was that a Would? Cover?? wow...

[iEdge607]

i love the american hate you all put off here. tell me what are you hating, a stereo type your were brought up on or was it something that an individual or a group did to misrepresent us?? i do not agree with most of the stuff that america dose but im sick of hearing other countries categorize us with bullshit labels and misrepresentation. stop hating on people that live no different then yourself.(by the way this is just a music festival not life, worry about something that matters)

[beccierolls]

I love this song! :D

So much that i decided to cover it...

Please please check it out?

Thank you x

[TheAlfredorivera1]

awsome band, horrible crowd, this is why bands stay away from america.

[seanr1013q]

WHO THE HEECKER? IS THE GUITAR .....D-BAG?

THAT RUINED EVERYTHING FOR ME.....

JUST SAYING

[charliexxmaniac]

Omg the crowd isn't even going crazy!

But this was a long time ago... :(

[bounty93]

karaoke style? you mean you guys can't play the song live can you? Learn to freaking sample if it's so difficult to try and play.

[cyprichris]

its not a crowd.. these people are statues

[boopie52]

I love this album but they r kinda sucky live...looks like a drag! Lots of messy sounds,they sound so so so amateaur. sorry! great song otherwise.

[ClarkeSYD]

shit audience. sacrifice them to some random foreign god for being so shit.

[RyanInLA]

People aren't dancing because they're just bewildered and bored. MGMT's studio work is great but they need to work on their live show. I'm starting to think they're total hacks. Saturday Night Live this weekend can make or break it for them.

[pkluivert99]

@RyanInLA They've improved live. What do you think of the SNL performance ? I think it was great

[RyanInLA]

@pkluivert99 About SNL -- I was surprised by how tight their performances were, but I also thought the songs were really disjointed and aimless. I'm really hot/cold on MGMT. They have so much potential but they try to be unconventional and only succeed in being inaccessible and slightly irritating. The jury's still out = /

[brianyoou]

@RyanInLA it was basically a karaoke, i dont blame them for not going nuts.

[shhhazzle]

Duude Im the blonde short girl in front!! Ow ow! They were fantastically magical because they were so crazy!

[JcdJulz]

I love MGMT but this video is just so bizarre. The guitar solo, the shouting, the stumbling around on stage. Ah well, I guess that's to be expected

[Robfalcon501]

Nice...would by alice in chains

[partyongarth420]

lolol that alice in chains covered succkkkedd... but the kids song is good.. sorry i have to be honest.. that dudes voice is nothing like layne staleys.

[STOPandTHINK1298]

God they suck at singing kids' and time to pretend live' sorry MGMT

[Trikz1990]

Cant get over how shit that guitarist is.

[rb13nd]

alice in chains<3 MGMT<3<3<3<3<3

[whosmicah]

Please tell me they don't do this karaoke act every time they play this song live...

[SecretAzure]

is there no good quality live performance by these peole? BUY NEW RECORDING DEVICES!

[theawsomlicious]

I hate cali well southern Cali I live there but I love the cold hate da heat

[patdel92]

@nyyNYR2094 lol it was jokes bud everyone knows this song

[NemoNecklace]

they seemed like they couldnt be bothered :P

[xthatx90sxshowx]

i could have drummed a better guitar solo.

[patdel92]

anyyyone konw wat song this is!!!

[khrystal666]

was he trying to talk spanish?

[perfectpickleman]

I saw these guys live and although they weren't pulling any Kiss bologne, they were totally incredible. It might help to be on the opposite side of the speakers with the camera.

[Valeriesecrette]

i like andrews sexy pointy boots =)

[HalaKen777]

THEY WERE PLAYING ALICE IN CAHINS

[akcl57]

I WISH I COULD PLAY GUITAR LIKE THAT!!!!! Oh BOY.

[catASHtrophe168]

when the solo came out, i thought i had forgot to pause some other tabs. but when i paused this video, the solo stopped too. that's how bad the solo goes with this song.

[pl4typuses]

@catASHtrophe168 that's fucking lol

the solo in the original version was good but seriously, they should fire this guitarist

[catASHtrophe168]

@pl4typuses the solo isn't entirely all that bad. if it's played ALONE, it might just sound pretty good. but WITH the song, it's just a shredding of fail.

[laconspiracion06]

drug effects

[mrpothead4]

I've seen a worse live of them..

Here at least he's in tone in most time of the song..

[ASTROAVERY]

hahahahahaha the solo!

[LastDaisy]

god what a mean crown they suck i would be freaking out if i got to se them live what an opportunity you people suck in the crown cali sucks!!!

MGMT rocks!!!andrew is smexy

[stuckinthepast]

no one knew who theyr were at that time....i was there and thought they were some fag mainstream band when they came out on stage....but i was completely wrong, they did rock out hard on their set.,...but a lot of people were into other genres at that time

[TractorboyTom]

What an awful crowd, American crowds suck!

[calisaetia]

@TractorboyTom american are so politically correct they're afraid they'll offend some minority somewhere if they dance.

[tgonella]

@TractorboyTom You suck, and so does this version of Kids

[dirtylarry69]

@TractorboyTom ..fuck yeah they do .check the same band at reading ..english crowds loose their fuckin minds

[Reublucian321]

Wow all of the video's I've watched of that guitarist doing solo's it's just fucking terrible, I've been totally tripping from acid and played 1000 times better solo's than this guy, MGMT if you need a guitarist who can handle the drugs you do and can still play and not fucking suck give me a call. Jesus that's fucking terrible.

[pl4typuses]

@Reublucian321 agree

[mgmtrace1]

I can only say that I'm gutted I wasn't there at the front.... Love MGMT...x

[TheDevilWearsPradaa]

crowd sucks cause "band" sucks...

learn to play your own songs...........for fucks sake...

[oimabel]

why the hell is that guitar player making that stupid solo in the middle of a great dance song and ruining it????? wtf??????

[conzo420]

their intentions are to play a mix of genres to form one good style of music dipshit theres alot more to music than computerised sound effects you know. i fucking hate chavs their so full of shit and up their own aholes. MGMT are rockers not ravers.

[scenereal]

wow that crowd sucks

[NNJ007]

live?

[recordmasta001]

i hav neva seen them play this live!!

[kewlpnay126]

oh man, sounds like milli vanilli lipsynce

[jahni45]

alice in chains intro? lol

[franzferdiinand]

@REPISAGOD: Word! They totally suck live!

[syuninja]

man have they ever played this live like for real ever? not just karaoke style?

[17laUra45]

what the fuck?! this wasnt the best solo but... if u dont like them why do u watch theyr videos!? i really love this band and maybe this is the worst concert they have give but...!! its an excellent band!

[REPISAGOD]

what the fuck did he say at the end??? what an idiot! HOW can u make one of the best Albums of the year and be so garbage live??

[vc96]

cuz they werent fcukin high when they recorded!!

[damone70]

What a shit guitar player that is.

[xfox2189]

seriously. ugh. totally killed the song for me. the thing is, if the camera was in front of the stage instead of behind, we probably wouldn't be able to tell how bad that solo was

[tubeyou100292]

crowd sucks?

[ozzieh]

duh..its so cal...i live in orange county..we have the worst crowd for everything...just go to a laker game and you will see...girls on phone non stop and dooshbags taking pictures with the court as the background like crazy so they can post them on myspace/facebook..but i love the weather too much to leave...hah

[hihibobman101]

does anyone know what he was saying at the end??

[LazyDazy2]

churo, carnitas, taco, donde easta mother fuckers

[ADSTGREY]

hahah the alice in chains song at the start is a sweet cover

[abangthebeat]

"K-Rock" here in Cleveland wouldn't touch MGMT.

They're all about dopey post-nu-metal constipation "rock" like Seether and Breaking Benjamin..ech. Only the college stations play MGMT here. MGMT would be considered "fag music" by the knuckle-draggers that listen to commercial radio in Cleveland.

I listened to Indie 103.1 and KXLU when I still lived in LA, but even KROQ would be considered avant-garde in Cleveland.

At least our college stations are superior to LA's..WRUW & WCSB especially.

[natxoduff]

this is not track... this is a hymn!!!

[KasinBlazin]

I cried myself laughing watching the end of this video. Such a pothead LOL! Shame, would have been an awesome live performance.

[laboloche]

Love Alice in Chains..

[Allar25]

I like the Alice in Chains "Would?" cover in the beginning. Everybody was like "WTF?" haha

[GreenDaygirl0766]

Everytime I see a video of MGMT performing at weenie roast I wanna kill myself, because I was front row and I didn't even like them then, now I'm in love with them. I saw them with beck and spoon at the Hollywood Bowl, and they were amazing. Hey Kat, next time you see the boys, give them my love. (: xx

[phonebizook]

It was one of the opening bands. I was there and at the time there wasnt that many ppl there yet.

[cpussman]

meow meow meow meow!

[hendrixfan143]

that crowd is laughable

[oliviaeltonjohn]

This is probably one of the best performances of Kids I've ever seen! It must be all the random ad-libbing. or whatever.

[ABoyBrushedRed]

pff! yeah i love when bands perform really shitty live on purpose, and don't even play it and just half assingly sing it. awesome.

[oliviaeltonjohn]

Whutevz, you clearly have no idea what MGMT are about!

[2goatboy2]

Which is cooler than a Diana Ross cover...

[katslag]

I will have to thing about that ;)

[2goatboy2]

Hey this vid started with an alice in chains cover!

[katslag]

Obviously.

[christinakool]

yeah, it's called "Would?". GOOD song!

[2goatboy2]

Awesome tune...I think its about the Mother Love Bone singer who died.

[christinakool]

it is! wow, you've done your homework dude:)

[ASqUEe183722]

plop...

[cchhaarrlliieeee]

thats so freakin cool mgmt rocks

are you really kat??

[katslag]

[cchhaarrlliieeee]

[joshbrill88]
