MGMT - Time To Pretend (Live Jools Holland 2008) (High Quality video) (HD)

[RFEwing]

wow, Frodo is such a good singer. This song was actually inspired by his trip to Mordor. It made him realise that you should enjoy life while you can and live it to the full, because you never when you´re going to be eaten by a Nazgul or some shit like that.

[DMRichBoi]

Hey guy, hit something really hard if you love this song... 1:52

[nsr4interpol]

Doesn't he sorta sound like Conor Oberst?

[Bkesal14]

@nsr4interpol I know what you mean actually, never noticed that before :)

[jiffinbigles]

Isn't their current guitarest the one playing the drums this set?

[Danielson1393]

@jiffinbigles I just noticed that too. I think it is.

[OdysseusLightning]

This song is dedicated to the world's chefs.

[AllStar3481]

I like this version better. :)

[Jim071]

@fishnet4media Babyshambles played 'fuck forever' on jools holland and Doherty must say fuck at least 10 times...

[teasdalea1]

Where is the lead synth?

[bestfullyy]

this live version actually sounds similar to early arcade fire, in my opinion at least

[marioruiz15]

@bestfullyy what the fuck are you talking about they dont similar at all

[bestfullyy]

@marioruiz15 mate, it's a matter of opinion. i don't believe mgmt and arcade fire are at all similar on record - and i mean at ALL. they are very different. BUT this has that tough driving feel of Funeral. the snare sound is very similar, the guitars are noisy and even his voice is different and almost like Win Butler's (more strained) ?

[kiickasses2]

uhooooo !! Win Butler from the arcade fire !! amazing

[swatdem23]

What happened to the catchy synth riff? I can barely hear it. :(

[erantio]

did he say "thank you for standing up" at the end? haha how cute

[klap1495]

Who is the guitarist?

[aliek87]

@klap1495 Hank Sullivant

[Vivailgelato]

I want to be Andrew's mic so bad... Why is he so fucking perfect?

[BluethBiceth]

best thing mgmt ever released is Climbing to New Lows.

but i can't say that and not include the song Of Birds Moons and Monsters. fucking song is awesome. it's like you get 4 different songs in one.

[sk8erguy011]

@BluethBiceth if you want tfour different songs in one from MGMT, i suggest flash delrium  or siberian breaks

[jackbaurectu]

dude who let the purple people eater in the band?

[ddenn]

i think this is their best performance on youtube. though i would have liked to hear more of the synth

[iampower714]

Good job.

[Lildrummerboy50]

[snowguitar100]

what guitar is andrew using? it looks awesome :P 

[mrshnarfles]

@snowguitar100 i was wondering the same thing it has some really weird pickups...

[TrademarkedBand]

no lead synth

[mgmtrace1]

This was the first time I heard MGMT, I was amazed with them , so different!!! Been listening to them since, even went to see them in Glasgow. James is on the drums , now he's lead guitarist. Love them.

[80coolboy]

F##king brill performance best band ever

[MrSpence341]

Didn't open his eyes once while singing.

[RavenSkyhhhhh]

@MrSpence341 Nope, but I like how he still blinks while their closed!

[babalubah]

[sk8erguy011]

[lucidrugskeidong]

Que buena presentación!

[TheSidneyft]

Dadadadadada

[FruitGoLoops]

[Skwurlman]

You can't say 'fuck'... But you can say 'shoot some heroin'. Haha. Freaking US television...

[alexandredl]

@Skwurlman I did'nt know that the BBC - what does that stand for again? - was American?

[MiNdLeSs1234567890]

@Skwurlman is not US television is from the UK

[Skwurlman]

@MiNdLeSs1234567890 Whoops. My mistake. US television then. It's still hypocrite.

[MiNdLeSs1234567890]

@Skwurlman hahaha, indeed

[shreadhead96]

@Skwurlman its UK tv..and us television is even worse.. believe me..i live here :(

[ElMoDubstep]

COOK WITH THE STARS

[toniochoable]

More noise , I love it :D

[fishnet4media]

He said cook because you can't say "fuck" on national television you retards.

[riotvan8002]

@fishnet4media

well i was looking at the strokes performing on jools and julian said fuck about 3495834095 times... so i'm no sure that's the reason.

[bbshooter1221]

@fishnet4media He couldve Cursed, look at all the other bands that play on here (Arctic Monkeys, Vampire Weekend, etc) He just probably thought he couldnt....

[Cyberktk]

@fishnet4media Yes, because having sex/ or tormenting stars is way worse than shooting heroin. Anyway your right haha.

[WlSEGUY]

@fishnet4media you cant say fuck on national tv but its alright to be high as shit and trippin balls when you're performing on national tv???

[PopSong1]

They have gotten so much better live!  Not that their bad here.

[walruswaspaul123]

@thetrueStaub Just said it instead of Fuck. He's on t.v.

[nick97ns]

he said cook by mistake we all make mistakes lol

[walruswaspaul123]

@nick97ns No, you just can't say Fuck on t.v.

[OskrOrtiz]

[RideMyBMW]

And you're calling them geek's!?!?!?

[meotoko77]

@RideMyBMW these fuckin geeks get payed loads of money and get laid more then you'll ever can, lol

[RideMyBMW]

"these fuckin geeks get payed loads of money and get laid more then you'll ever can, lol"-meotoko77

You honestly believe that, you fu%$in crack hoe?

[meotoko77]

@RideMyBMW Andrew did go out with Fabiola Gatti.....look at how hot she was. So yeah I can honestly believe it. So stop being a dick......you must be some 12 year old bitch whose comments get monitored by his mom, perhaps thats why you censor yourself.

[RideMyBMW]

"You must be some 12 year old bitch whose comments get monitored by his mom," - meotoko77

Oh yeah? Well fu%$ you, you fu%$in fu&%bag...Fabiola Gotti, a mfia princess, reeaaal fu%$in niiiice XD!

[yourmummademefat]

@RideMyBMW fuck the mafia, F.B.I have been kicking there ass for the last 20 years

[Spiderfan92]

was their guitarist their drummer

[thegreenflashlight]

@Spiderfan92 I think so

[ilegalimmagrant]

@Spiderfan92 yeah. the ginger one in this video quit to start his own band, so their old drummer came back, and james switched to guitar and keyboards.

[kungpoofdoofdoof]

i wonder if the guitarist gave that exact guitar to the drummer who is now the guitarist?

[OptimusicPrime]

Awesome sweater.

[metalcrazy9193]

cook with the stars haha fucking sensored ¡¡¡

[22hka]

Do anybody know what happend to the red haired? Why isn't he playing with MGMT anymore?!

[miketheturtle]

@22hka just looked it up, he was in the band for a while, used to be in a band in high school with andrew. the drummer in this video, james, is the current guitarist. and the current drummer now was the drummer back in 05. prob left for whatever reason then came back.

[22hka]

@miketheturtle But do you know the reason why he (the red haired) left MGMT?

[bl8tmate]

@22hka Cuz he's a ginger!

[miketheturtle]

@22hka from what i gather it was to do his own project called Kuroma. but it could be anything, couldnt find anything definite. prob wasnt do to bad relations since richardson is on his kuroma album....

[Loafcat]

I love MGMT, but honestly, he's not singing well at all..

[ninjacobra]

Let'S just pretend for a day that we are all rock stars. Wow! Beautiful song!

[nirviral]

that's so weird james is playing the drums.

[2n2equals5]

Limpest performance of any song, ever.

[zomglolsly]

[jaku13242]

[TcheletMiriam]

[VyRevenge]

@TcheletMiriam mmm yeah..

[ViolentBubbles]

@TcheletMiriam i think he did

[ferrylii]

@TcheletMiriam hahaha true:P

[pepenores2]

@TcheletMiriam

i think he said 'coke with the stars'

like... the drug. heroin and coke

[Bloodhound805]

@pepenores2 .... he said "cook" to avoid "fuck" which is the original text..

[ripswimmingpool]

@TcheletMiriam I think he did, mabye for a censored version? haha

[darkmaul1993]

@TcheletMiriam Yeah, the tv show probably didn't want him to say the f-word on air.

[slovakmath]

@TcheletMiriam no he just made the 'ck' sound he left out 'fu-' sound

[koasis89]

amazing

[ScottieTheRadiohead]

who's the ginger??

[ZephyrKid360]

@ScottieTheRadiohead friend of mgmt's. Kuroma.

[ScottieTheRadiohead]

@ZephyrKid360 he's kinda weird lookin'

[drweth89]

they should've kept the band like this. they look a lot more comfortable on stage.

[pyramidheadthingy]

I like this version :]

More shoe-gazer-y

[superagnitio]

Not impressed by the live version

[VividSnovv]

Ben Goldwasser looks like Eric Bana

[TheRocKalinWorld]

OMG!!! James was the Drumer Before??

[sandysnowbeard]

@TheRocKalinWorld James who?

[hotsauce1965]

Amazing song. Great lyric-" This is our decision to live fast and die young..we've got the vision, now lets have some fun." Rock n Roll may yet survive all the Rap, Hip Hop shit.

[Thrillseeker8922]

OMG Frodo!!! XD

[333funky]

[elscotso]

Probably.

[287lauren]

Andrew is probably the sexiest thing alive.

[platypae333]

[jaggertone]

[0000dan0000]
