MGMT INTERVIEW live in Athens 2009

[3stepTheosis]

you can tell now that Andrew is older, his views on things have changed alot. I've noticed in this interview that many things that he stood for in the beginings of MGMT have definately changed. Not that im against change but we'll see what happens in the future. Im excited and worried. All in all MGMT fucking rocks. I'll listen to oracular spectacular when im in my 70's.

[XxmOniikahxX]

i still can't understand how Andrew got that handsome...good job to his parents!

[mrtheok]

Athens Greece...it was a great but small crowd...Mgmt played like only an hour or so...Cool experience anyways...

[runtubefantasy]

what song are they singing live in athens?

[TheMeforever23]

@shadowgirl5550 I agree, but someetimees peoplee want to show their love for Andrew so much that it seems they don't care for the music. Though theyy do.. ALOT. :)

Anndreeww<3;

[NeoAquarius12]

The band is amazing. Although I am not sure why andrew mentions in every interview that he used to play Fifa '95. haha.

[111music4life]

MGMT changed my life period

[tuliplove642]

dude i cant understand a word the interviewer is saying

[luljackson]

Athens Ga???

[maddyrudd]

@luljackson I'm gonna have to guess Athens, Greece.. But I live in Atlanta and they had a concert here in November.. so yeah, probably a different Athens.. and the Interviewer definitely sounds European..

[luljackson]

@maddyrudd ohh

[NeoAquarius12]

@luljackson

Probably Greece. Did you hear the interviewer's accent?

[morethanonenight]

2.55 xD

[mysticblue436]

2 dislikes? are you shitting me.

[Y0UTUBER34]

when does andrew not look amazing? never

[smondello]

They remind me of T Rex...

[sk8erguy011]

@smondello really?

[rougestr]

What's the song there playing at 4:27?

[xzation]

@rougestr Destrokk

[SheWantsYourCookie]

1:18 die gitarre ist ja mal ÜBELST der BURNER! *-* ♥

[ReadMyCommentBitch]

he looks... sober

[sweetcandyescape]

what's the name of the song at 6:55...? i always forget the name, but the melody sticks in my head.

[sweetcandyescape]

@sweetcandyescape I REMEMBERED! it's youth, yeah?

[rougestr]

@sweetcandyescape the youth

[aldalilja]

@sweetcandyescape The Youth :)

[OMGSCENEQUEEN]

BABE

[aDeath7BatxLover]

i love Andrew's messed up tooth :D

[SniperCinema]

That guys an idiot. Do you still believe in the motto "Live fast and die young"

The song is about living the life of a rockstar, not their life; therefore, it's not their motto.

[VitallyYoung]

Are you kidding me? They played Destrokk? And nowadays they barely want to play anything but what was on Congratulations. Great album, I loved it as well, but they have other songs they barely want to play anymore. They better play Boogie Down for me. T.T

VitallyYoung 1 second ago

[allycap13]

@VitallyYoung I saw them in August and they played Destrokk and almost everything on Oracular Spectacular and Congratulations. I don't necessarily know if they WANTED to play the earlier songs, but they played them :P

I <3 Boogie Down, too!

[VitallyYoung]

@allycap13 Thanks so much for letting me know that! Now I seriously can't wait until the concert. That was a wonderfully encouraging comment :D

[Grungexrevival]

Wow im not gay at all but andrew... he is sexy wow.

[FewPoint]

i'm a dude.... i'm straight.... but andrew is a babe. haha. I love MGMT i dont think they have one bad song

[brucelee6790]

@FewPoint fag

[creativebean]

"i have extreme dreams" :)

[CalitmeWhoLoveA]

his lips are so kissable

[geeyouknit345]

is this in athens georgia

[axischild70]

@geeyouknit345 greece

[haylkat1]

Wow... I didn't think these guys would have so many fangirls... I personally don't find them attractive to the slightest.

[lupavk]

Λατρεύω τον Andrew, λατρεύω την Ελλάδα, αν και η Θεσ/νικη είναι πιο όμορφηηηηηη!!!

[GetItSarah]

They seem like they'd be SO amazing live. Good lord.

[fergiezies]

@GetItSarah OH, THEY ARE! i just saw them front row at the Capitol Hill Block Party in Seattle. They are EXTREMELY fun and such an amazing band

[thexoxomanda]

@MicroMolly Omfg. I feel the same way. I love both Ben and Andrew. Great guys. But the music is more important. Went to their concert a few weeks ago and I was going crazy because a lot of girls didn't really listen to MGMT and they only went because Andrew is good looking.

[Musicasaurus]

MGMT is so talented but theyre still so humble! i mean i dont know... if i was making such incredible music id be pretty full of myself..plus the fact that theyre outrageously good looking....its refreshing to see that they have kept their cool :3

[eNeMeSPhotography7]

Andrew is a beautiful creation.

[ashtonelisabeth]

Andrew VanWyngarden....

he looks so into it when hes singing :D

[checkkittoutt]

whats the song at 4:28?

[giraffehasspots]

@checkkittoutt

Destrokk. it's on their Time to Pretend EP

[hiphiphipsterMGMT]

@checkkittoutt

Destrokk



[colormerealist]

@checkkittoutt Destrokk

[summervets]

I have a feeling that Andrew is a cat person....anyone else get that vibe??

[songbird525]

@summervets hah no he is a well known dog person...almost all of his interviews he is talking about dogs

[blkmariah]

@summervets Nah, Andrew is definitely a dog person, haha.

[TheZebrianna2]

he is so gorgeous!!

[PussyTumor]

Is this Athens GA or Athens Greece? I'm from Georgia, that's why I clicked this. lol

[dawnspelled93]

i think the thing i really love about andrew is his lips mouth area its just really attractive and what comes out of it is amazing

[wildwomenneverdie]

weekend wars

[Hightower852]

when i first started listening to mgmt, i LOVED there music & everything on their first album not just their most popular songs. then i discovered he was gorgeous which made it great. but its good to know that he doesn't sell his music by his looks bc he's banging.

[Mcpanicfanic]

hes adorable!

[xLiveLoveSKATEx]

@Mcpanicfanic why does every girl say that about him? i never understand why

[Mcpanicfanic]

@xLiveLoveSKATEx REALLY???????? you dont think andrew is cute or hot. are you blind???????? whats wrong with him?

[xLiveLoveSKATEx]

@Mcpanicfanic no im asking WHY do you think that he is? like what features about him?

[Mcpanicfanic]

@xLiveLoveSKATEx he makes really cute facial expressions. its hard to specifically say why.

[xLiveLoveSKATEx]

@Mcpanicfanic ohhh..lmfao! you mean the way he responds to answers and stuff! i understan...i think lol

[TotalAwsumness666]

@xLiveLoveSKATEx he has reeeeeaaally nice lips and pretty eyes and an amazing smile

[interwebawesomness]

I've watched a couple of other interviews with the band...ive noticed that andrew is always distracted and answers all the questions with real straight forward answers....i don' t think he likes to be interviewed that much.

[mcsavage89]

Look's like an amazing show. Awkward interview though...

[bajoink0]

wonderful eyes

[purpletycoon]

LMFAOOOOO. last question hes like "well....i don't really wanna die young" ahaha.

[chloemango11]

Why is Andrew the hottest thing ever!!!!

[wussyme]

LOL. "have you ever downloaded music from the internet?"

What kind of question is that? Who below the age of 30 has not downloaded music?

[rockerchica13]

i really love andrew's voice. he sounds like john lennon at times, and it really seems like he's grown up quite a bit since they released their last CD. amazing. this band is sooo great.

[akikowolf]

@rockerchica13 I LOVE John Lennon!

[rockerchica13]

@akikowolf MEEEEE tooooooo. =)) that's why i like MGMT. well not the only reason but a contributing reason.

[glambert2010]

HAAAAAAAAAIRR?????????

[shadowgirl5550]

i hate it that some of the fans only like the band mostly because of Andrew........ i wish people would get past that and actually listen to their music!!!!!

not that I'm saying Andrew isn't handsome...

[rockerchica13]

@shadowgirl5550 totally agree. it's so annoying. like yes he is realllyyyy attractive but have you listened to the MUSIC???

[shadowgirl5550]

@rockerchica13 yea i agree with you. And yes i listen to their music. i have their Oracular Spectacular and Congradulations CD. and usually the girls who only like Andrew only know like Time to Pretend and Kids......it sucks, all these comment are all like ''ooooo Andrew is so fuckin smexi! love him!<3'' that really pisses me off.....but whatever i couldn't care less about those people, MGMT is still awesome with or without those chicks!

[rockerchica13]

@shadowgirl5550 ya totally agree. and it's so annoying that a lotta those same people don't like congratulations because it doesn't sound like kids or time to pretend. they only like the electro-pop stuff...it's like of course their 2nd CD doesn't sound like kids or time to pretend because if you listened to any of their other songs you would know that they're not naturally electro-pop and are more psychadelic!! stupid girlies that think they're real fans. please...

[YoourElectricFeel]

@shadowgirl5550 i know what your saying.. the music is the freaking best.. and andrew is a very nice addition. i always end up hearing the music before i even know what the band looks like.

[theslinkymaniaa]

@shadowgirl5550 I don't love Andrew just for his looks, it's his whole mentality. It seems like everyone sees the world through a film, but Andrew was born without it. I love him because through his music, my film is slowly disappearing.

[musicandnight]

@theslinkymaniaa wow, you're like one of the very few people who agree with me on that. wow, thankyou!!

[theslinkymaniaa]

@musicandnight I don't think I'm one of few, your comment about that has 58 likes. XD

[musicandnight]

@theslinkymaniaa hahah ohhhhh :)

[TashesxD]

Is that live? -.- :|

[alifluffbear15]

andrew is hott!!!! i love him!

[ithinkurugly777]

andrew has nice lips

[weysst]

Eeek! Go to MGMT's website, the Flash Delirium video is up!! Go watch it! It's awesome!!! =D

[TheCrigetz]

he looks so normal normally he is as high as a kite

[GeigerGirl214]

Why is the camera so fucking close to his face the whole video? haha.

Not that I'm complaining ;)

[MGMTobsessed]

why does it end right when he's talking? Is there another part to this video?

[RyeLime22]

What the hell was with the guy asking the questions? Andrew looked so annoyed

[SturgessMonkey]

@AshleyKris I know!! I kind of miss him that way though :L

[alucardlubu]

andrew looks a bit bored singing weekend wars

cant blame him theyve beeen touring the album non stop for like 2 years

[bld19]

They sound much better here than in previous live performances.

[wBAJKOnur]

and anyway, he always gives right answers so who cares about questions.

[wBAJKOnur]

omg! i also have extreme dreams. with andrew. andrew with short hair. i'm gonna continue to have them for a while... so all you fans of long-haired andrew back off, he's mine now.

and the interview isn't that bad actually, i don't know what are you whining about? just one really stupid question which gave perfect answer 8:41, so what's the whining about?

[MrOtaheite]

that interviewer knows notihng at all about this band, they wrote time to pretend about there pet praying mantis, its not about themselves its about the praying mantis

[OztenP]

The musics about the mantis. The lyrics aren't.

[ilyjelllo]

@MrOtaheite actually, the MUSIC was inspired about the praying mantis. the LYRICS was about them imagining themselves as rockstars.

[missingNYCITY]

worst. interview. questions. ever.

[shadowofmorgoth]

when the interviewer asks the last question, andrew looks at him like "jesus, you don't fucking get our music at all, do you?"

[mallen625]

Don't we all look older with short hair? I like it longer.

[IlBelPianista]

he sounds kind of sad

[gabystarship]

god, he can pull off anything, can't he?

[RammsteinLB]

he looks olderr with shorter hair.

[cornonthecobweb]

"...Well, I don't wanna die young..." Hahaha :D

[BonanzAA]

Andrew is so beautiful!!

[punkassnoodles]

whats the song at 4:27?

[995516222]

Destrokk ... mindblowing fucking song

[AndrewRussell9879]

haha andrews awesomexD. always awkward interviews lmao

[OztenP]

he looks more formal with the new hair.

Sexy. @_@

[heathernelsonxo]

he's going to be sexy no matter what he does to his hair.

i think i preferred it longer, though.

[OztenP]

same.

[HomeSkiletBiscit]

he should stick to the hairband...

[Skibsie]

WHERES THE HAIR!!!??

[gregoryisawsome]

stupid screaming bitches

[LoNgBoArDsFoRLiF]

wowhe looks less like a retard, awsome music though

[Rainbow1160]

He looks sad when theyshow him singin

=(

[UnAx3394]

Guys,newsflash.

HAIR GROWS BACK.

[idealist616]

he looks like a teenager

[sweety3995]

w/e... who gives a fuck about his hair.. their musics still awesome and andrews still hot...

[westendKisa]

no man...the haaaair maaan...MOST IMPORTANT TOPIC

[DRsunshin3]

lol i think he cut his hair to test his fans

he still looks good either way

[covernunt]

i think he is still awsome when he cut his hair

[beerwine69]

wtf? maybe he got sick of the hair being in his eyes? crazy right?! i could be wrong though....

[taiilahh]

I doubt it, because it's pretty long again already.

[beerwine69]

wow, that wasn't the point...i was trying to make fun of retard saying it was to test his fans. most of society = dumb despite its rare beauties.

[taiilahh]

Insulting people you don't even know is always cool.. My comment was directed at that guy, anyway. :S

[hiphiphipsterMGMT]

@DRsunshin3

Or he cuts his hair because he wants too...?



[tashlosung]

look at the front row it is all girls going ZOMGGGG ITZ MGMT! ahhh :(

[taiilahh]

I saw one gay guy.

[Camponesadastrevas]

damn, I just can´t get enough of him, I wonder if this is sick...

[RainBeaf]

what's the problem with KIDS get in the soundtrack of FIFA... omg, I love it ¬¬

[verdenodela1]

Wow Andrew cut his hair.

Looks bad.

[diacero12]

No it doesn't. He looks cute with any hairstyle :)

[leahbear8323]

Where's Ben durring the concert part?

[14bebop14]

Keyboard!

[bootalley]

ben douchewasser is on the keyboard at 2:11.

[jables000]

whats the song hes singing at 1:20?

[khan16488]

Weekend wars

[TheRocKalinWorld]

is Weekend Wars!!

[tanzyXtea]

well, i'm just gonna say, i love MGMT and yeah, thats all.

[Giggle35]

I loved Andrew's hippie look. What happened? Ah whatever, I'll get over it. He still makes awesome music with Ben and he's still a cutie. lol.

[evanrlawson]

in most of his recent interviews, andrew doesnt sound to thrilled about the new album and everything. not that he isnt happy but i think this is all too much pressure on him and ben, and i feel kinda bad :/ they should feel happy doing what they love, they just arent the same.

[brucelee6790]

i heard somebody say they heard of mgmt through gossip girl... thats pretty fucking lame, they are totally selling out with like anyone who will pay them it seems like, but whatever i guess... i just hope they stop signing their music over to really lame shit (gossip girl? come on)

[IrishCurt1]

fuck it..you would too.. you're lying if you say you wouldnt

it doesnt change the music

[Giggle35]

I hate when people say that bands are selling out and yada yada yada. If you truly loved the band you would follow them through anything. I think the real sell outs are people who "claim" to love a band and then bail on them the first chance they get. And P.S Gossip Girl may not be the best show but a lot of good music is on there. Have you watched the show. Do you know? I don't think so.

[brucelee6790]

what if a musician you liked had plastic surgery a bunch of times and looked totally creepy by the time they were done, and then changed their skin color and RAPED LITTLE BOYS... would you still like them? cause i wouldn't... i could watch some of their suff they did before that maybe but not after... my point being that you shouldn't just be blind to the things someone is doing just because you like their music

[Giggle35]

Okay but last time I checked, Andrew wasn't raping little boys. He changed his hair for christ's sake; big deal. I just hate people complaining about a band "selling out". All the band wants to do is make music and money and of coarse have fun. If that means "selling out' then so be it. Let them. I'm a TRUE fan of MGMT so I'm going to still love them anyway.

[brucelee6790]

you gotta take down your icon, that pic of you is creepy, anyway i don't give a fuck what your dumbass opinion is on not caring about bands selling out and devaluing their music and robbing their listeners of an original memory of it, (instead i have to be reminded of gossip girl when i hear, instead of being reminded of that one time i was tripping on mushrooms and walked through the woods)

[Giggle35]

Oh yeah, you sound real intelligent bashing my icon. Which isn't even me by the way. lol. I love making people angry during debates. It truly shows the maturity level of some people. You have proven yourself to be a child who obviously has a drug problem. P.S....incase you hadn't realized...if you no longer like MGMT then your the one who sold out. Okay, I'm done :)

[brucelee6790]

your an idiot, i wasn't even getting mad, you think because somebody swears that means they are getting emotional? anyway, i don't have a drug problem, i'm just a recreational user much like the band who's dick your sucking right now will tell you they are... DUMBASS lol (that lol is so you don't think i'm mad... dumbass)

[Giggle35]

Oh please. At least MGMT is cool. Who the fuck are you? You have obviously proven to everyone that your an imbecile who can't hold a proper and intellectual conversation. And like I was saying SELL OUT if you no longer like them you don't have to listen to them anymore. Everyone knows that dipshit. And as for sucking cock....I think you may have done that during one of your acid trips.

[brucelee6790]

lol

[brucelee6790]

who said i didn't like the anymore? i just said i don't like them selling out, and you had to make it a personal thing

[Giggle35]

Oh jeez really? I'm the one who made it personal? This conversation is over loser. You should look back at the things you wrote and then type. lol. Peace

[brucelee6790]

l8er dumbass

[taiilahh]

Need money to eat.

[brucelee6790]

that would be so awesome to play backup for mgmt and hang out with them and shit

[SuperSierraful]

Where's Ben? :(

Andrews hot and all but Ben is awesome. I want all the band in the interview, not just the hot front man.

[runMariNannirun]

i think andrew and ben are losing their spirit. Its all turned into a job for them, not just fun and games.... :( thats sad. they were so diffrent from everyone else in the music business.

[Dakkaeo]

they are on a major label so there may be pressure for time and business

[taylex4eve]

andrew is hot.

[greencode80]

When they first came out, Andrew dressed like a hippie and in interviews lately, his style is more conservative. Not sure what the deal is.

[ranice]

greencode80: I agree. Wonder why. Not to mention-- Ben too.

[lindseylovesKOL]

yaa i know i loved his hippie look

[iamthefurey]

they don't want to be a gimmick band. plus, anytime a whole bunch of people catch on to something it kind of loses the original spirit behind it. they've just progressed.

[Jamieeelovesyouu]

I love MGMT, but they always look a bit out of it ha.

[snowsbeauty5]

Wow Andrew "Extreme dreams!" I love your interviews cause you always make me smile:) thanks! xox

[juansi77]

I love The Youth , great song. I have to say they've gotten much better live.
