Some bands sound amazing on CD, but suck live. I don't think this band is bad live. Just not pro sound or anything. Probably a camcorder. Go see them live to form a better opinion.
the best version of this is metric at the mod club toronto; this kind of show is very difficult to establish a connection with the audience. To see them actually feeling the song the mod club show is superior. I love the way this one is so determined, but you all need to see the mod club show.

i think the best live band is the Kings of Leon, just my opinion. i watched a mtv live show of MGMT. they weren't very good, especially the guy with the higher voice. good songs though

maybe you should shut the hell up because your fucking retarded and if you think that American bands suck so bad i would seriously like to see you go up on a stage in front of thousands of people and do better
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
You fucking people seriously don't know how to read. Once again, fucking asshole, I said most of them suck LIVE. And, if you're getting paid to sing live, you should FUCKING SING WELL. I'm not getting paid to sing live, am I? I DON'T FUCKING THINK SO.
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
you don't fucking read. and your hating on metric so rot in kaketown and get raped up the ass for 4 days and get your finger nails torn off then have stakes put in your legs and have spiders poured down your throat
Er, WTF? Psycho much? I happen to love Metric, by the way. I'm just saying it's a shame they don't sound good live. Somebody hasn't been paying attention. Tsk tsk. >_>
Bro, these last couple of years our bands have been getting worst. I used to love some of our Alternative rock but lately, it's been going down hill. My favorite now is broken Social Scene.
+1 on that. Metric is the best, freshest thing going on in Music right now as far as I'm concerned. I can't believe these guys aren't playing to arenas yet.
MGMT definitely isn't a studio band. True that their stage presence isn't that great but everybody in that band sings. Their vocal harmonies are incredible.
I haven't seen them live yet. I have to pay attention to the next time they're in Chicago. Metric is by far the best indie band out there right now IMHO. Emily to me is like some (hot) mix of Deborah Harry & Curt Cobain. She can be a pop star when she wants, and she can rock out or cause you to re-evaluate your life the next. If these guys ever sold out and worked with a top producer they'd be filling arenas world wide.
Well for the last two albums, Metric has been working with producer/mixer/engineer John O'Mahoney who recently mixed Coldplay's Viva la Vida. This year, Coldplay was Grammy nominated and winners--also selling out arenas world wide. Guess we'll see, eh..
@pringlw theyre gonna be in chicago for lollapalooza which is august 6-8 they haven't announced the exact date but one day tickets go on sale in a while :)
Metric was amazing live that day! I was soo moved by their performance I cried at the end of the show! Plus getting to shake hands with Emily was a blessing itself!
fuck it's soo good. and you are amazing at taking videos. i was at this show and the broken social scene concert and you have great vids from both! thank you!
I'd hit that..
