MGMT - Time to Pretend (MTV live)

[obamacka2008]

still listen to it in the year 2012 =D

[WildeVerfolgungsjagt]

fette version :D

gefällt mir :D

[icuiidan]

I truly love this band.... but, this version is crap, and they clearly have destroyed their vocal chords... It's no wonder you don't really hear much from them anymore... a shame... they were brilliant.

[beakman10]

@icuiidan you don't hear from them anymore because they are recording, plus this is from almost three years ago. i think this version is amazing

[The808Prophet]

@icuiidan wtf they really sound like that now?

[mrsaaplusk]

to live fast and die young

[tiesje93]

1:37 i've never heard ben sung beautiful like that!

get jobs in offices and wake up for the morning commute.

amazing MGMT!

[naruthenarcicist]

Love this song and how they reference Jim Morrison and Jimi Hendrix in this.

[pigmouth22]

omg the intro is soo trippy omg, love this soo much more than the album version 

[WretchedDrummer]

this song, to me, is about how life goes by fast and basically just enjoy it and party and have a good time because life comes and goes! so enjoy life and appreciate your parents ur dog and ur home and ur sister n brother because one day they'll be gone! just like the rest of us. and we're going to miss it..

that's just my interpretation.

[CR7SL]

amazing.

[mace11880]

Der Sänger sieht aus wie Frodo aus Herr der Ringe.Man aber das Lied ist geil allgemein MGMT ist geil!!!

[Vivailgelato]

I want to be the model who fucks with Andrew. Arwwwww he is so charming!

[skaternoa26]

wow all these pretentious people saying its not about the glorifying that kind of lifestyle,but about looking down at it are just retarded. mgmt are fucking stoners, they dont look up to it or down on it they just were stoned and imagined what it would be like to be rockstars

[koasis89]

Troppo indie

[Schreihals82]

cooler song gefällt mir total gut

[naramata]

In the Abbey Road version they mention the song is about a praying mantis that laid eggs in their house, then died. (Cocaine's a hell of a drug).

[TaosFTW]

MGMT FTW ;D

[mcfire93]

OMG I LOVE IT!!!

[foxforthewin1]

n1 :) 

[ineedcodhelp]

if you cant stop dancing when sitting at a computer the songs good

[janey904]

They don't really seem to enjoy the music but then again I would probably totally hypnotised so I wouldn't dance or something either xD

[airz2783]

you hear the guitar a lot more live

its sounds epic

[chaoticneonchloe]

I'll Move To Paris,, Shoot Some Heroin And Fuck With The Stars <3

[StreetsOfWest]

Ey Thats the intro song in 21

[MsTequilas]

I can't find the original video :(

anybody help me, please????

[Zlatolin90]

I love the melody, but don't like the lyrics, too much drugs involved. And they really sing crappy here. But the intro is amazing.

[amaaani1]

@Zlatolin90 too much drugs? This song isn't about drugs, they're just mocking the rockstar life, stereotyping rockstars as heroine shooting star fucking people.

[KillaMobsta420]

@amaaani1 yea true, but i know 4 a fact they do LSD, LSD is not a bad drug find out 4 urself... i dont mean try it read about n u'll know.... also find out about DMT

[tiesje93]

@KillaMobsta420 Indeed, and MGMT do marihuana, when you ask me: is that a problem:P?

[tiesje93]

@zoso521 okay

[90zosoman09]

@Zlatolin90 so wut some of the best music comes from junkies dude, so do some of the best lyrics involve drugs, it just depends on wether or not you're ready for the world.

[serbiaxserbia]

@Zlatolin90 Best intro <333333333333333

[ThePinkguns]

@Zlatolin90 what do you know about the drugs?? MGMT ain't Weed smoking fuckers you see. they smoke a little bit. but you can here on the music. thet are involved in the music. not like The Beatles in the ''END''

[gmikey222]

this band's music is mainly for entertaining a tripping crowd. Very heavily LSD influenced, for sure.

[hermin0000]

weener. drugs r bad mmkay

[TheRealDirtySouth]

Isn't this song on the movie '21 Blackjack' ?

[0uchna]

@TheRealDirtySouth yes it is the intro song

[TheEsenify]

@TheRealDirtySouth yes it is :)

[Tripooch]

and who says the US doesnt make great music?

[suuuuuppppplol]

I LUV MGMT AND I LOVE ANDREW HE IS SO HOT!!!

[metalcrazy9193]

mgmt Its a Led zepellin Of our TIme ¡¡¡

[iwantAbaerlin]

Hate MTV for censorship.

[koasis89]

amazing

[OMGZaSquirrel]

this song yes is about there life style it was also about them having a grass hopper in their house it had babies and it died and then the baby grass hoppers live so its about 2 things not drugs

[grayjeens]

Well, i really love this band, but i think that when the're playing live they suck:(

[tesselise95]

@grayjeens noo way. they are pretty amazing live. this is just a bad version. i saw them not long ago and they were great live.

[DannyCanDanny]

great band,great song,amazing

[marshallgibsonfender]

actually this was taped in front of a live London crowd

That's what it said on the direct TV info guide

[zimgir5000]

first time ive ever watched this band play live, i like it

[MrChrisDiamond1]

def not at all, they're pretty good live. although this show here is not as good.

[hrw]

show me one good performance

[Oerak2]

This was one their best performances ever

[geraghty091]

this has to be one of their best performances

[XAngelKlarityX]

the MTV crowd is crap....they dont dance or anything

how could they not enjoy MGMT???!!!

this has to be one of their best performances!!! love it!!!!

[sk8erguy011]

@XAngelKlarityX because MTV always turns the noise from the crowd off

[ThePinkguns]

@XAngelKlarityX Glastonbury 2010

[gawdlyz]

@XAngelKlarityX i think it's about respecting the artist, and watching the performance respectfully, similar to what happens overseas in places like Amsterdam and Madrid

[kevmehl]

best song in 10 years...and i play in a band lol

[staxstix]

@kevmehl ... as if the fact that you play in a band makes you have a better taste. how ridiculous...

[sweetestpoison16]

This is our decision, to live fast and die young.

We've got the vision, now let's have some fun.

[TheAYLAFOREST]

What are you guys talking about? Just shut up and enjoy the music.

[illuminatethisxx]

i have to say i really like the camera work on this :|

[ConorH725]

same i like itt: Lol

[RYUindie31]

I love how many ppl are like oh man this is all about doing drugs and not giving a shit, but realy its about them looking down on the life style. lol

[amaaani1]

Lol yeah, saying Of moons birds and monsters is about drugs and the handshake too and 4th dimensional transition is about orgasms...

[spankythedog56]

@RYUindie31

how is that?

its about living the "live fast,die young" lifestyle, not their opinion of it. its just telling how it works out. everyone knows that that lifestyle ends pretty terribly usually.

[amaaani1]

Lol... the 'Insight' tells me that the video is watched bij 78% women, none younger than 35 years old LOL

[Elenability]

That is not true! I am 44 and love this video and song! Female, midlife creative crisis of some sort. Mom of 2, which explains why I have been such a late-comer in tuning in!

[amaaani1]

well hey that's what I said, right?? NONE younger than 35 years old

[Elenability]

OOPS! Guess you ARE absolutely right then! Really? I wonder why that is? I would imagine that younger girls would like them too.

[amaaani1]

yeah younger girls DO, A LOT!!! They have tons of groupies hahah!! I don't know, maybe the Insight is lying but I couldn't imagine lol. But I couldn't image only women older than 35 watching this video either...

[leopardchick15]

hey, uh i am 16 and i love this band! i dont know if thats weird or anything but i think they are really good, love the fact that theyr different than whats on the radio. :)

[amaaani1]

Yeah me too I'm 17 and I'm incredibly in love with them !! (their music, I'm not one of those groupie-girls, lol).

[StefanieNicholls]

@amaaani1 if youd get the chance, you were ;D

[rebel19821]

@leopardchick15 im 28, and think they sound good, softer version of muse, kinda reminds me of the doves.. good sound they got as well

[SchillesFly]

@leopardchick15

me too :D

[DanielHowseFilms]

Hey. Thanks for re-posting this since the originals got deleted. You don't happen to have the rest of the songs from this performance though do you? If so, do you think you could post those as well?

Thanks.
