MGMT - Weekend Wars (The Late Late Show with Craig Ferguson)

[Lanallaby]

poor Andrew having to always sing in falsetto in most of the first album

but he pulls it off

he has a beautiful voice, i prefer it at a lower key

[Weekendwarriors18]

The best song ever:)

[DanDeePee]

I personally love andrews singing voice, especially on the later half of oracular spectacular and all of congratulations

[MaNuEl3sk8]

Todays is Sunday... And What does that mean? Weekend wars ;)

[inlovewithmgmt]

WHY does everyone think this sucks. It's my favorite performance of weekend wars.

[LeperAffinity]

the last part of this song should be belted out. they never do that. why.

[Euqinimodlove]

Andreeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee­eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeew lol

[iannike22]

They sucked on craig because they were not on drugs

[ThePaulpFiction]

He's made improvements, but Andrew is not much of a singer.

It really doesn't matter though, so long as they continue making the kind of music they do. But he really does limit them.

[michaelviebrockmusic]

@ThePaulpFiction i dont think so, i mean look at bob dylan some could say hes not much of a singer.

its emotion, lyrics and the entire theme of the music. I think his voice is something special.

[MinieMissxxx]

i watched this video at least 50 000 times

[WeKnowYouWannaKnow]

the number of times that i clicked the replay button is quite pathetic. :)

[teasdalea1]

Singing sucks.

[stalkmeimfam0us]

@teasdalea1 are you kidding me? That voice is son epic :)

[FutureAbe]

I like this. REAL ROCK 'N ROLL!

[axelrodxx]

I actually really love this. I don't think it sucks live.

[llamasarus1]

go the 2:58. thats when its completely silent for a quarter or a second then you hear a realy nice flanged echo.

[Mrdudepigeon]

Homework or MGMT. I choose MGMT.

[mrguitarmanguy12]

no hate i love MGMt but thise song sucks live :/

[mitrojsr]

@mrguitarmanguy12 check out the version "weekend warsMTV" ..way better

[pillhillboy]

AlexTheMartian

[Duenderelojero]

¿Por qué todas las bandas quieren ser Arcade Fire?

[cristian33335]

@Duenderelojero Este no es el caso m gusta arcade fire Pero nada en comun con MGMT Ambas son buenas

[sk8borjask8]

@Duenderelojero MGMT lleva mas tiempo que Arcade Fire, antes de hablar, informate ;)

[sourskully]

I love the way Andrew signs weekend wars.

[ateasdale38]

Could Matt get any further away from the mic?

[SPLITATOMZ]

I love the way he sings Weekend Wars, such a distinct sound.

[YoureTerribl]

ben makes those runs on the keyboard without even looking. Live, i would be staring at my hand making sure its right.

[flzgn]

love the voice!

[JordanCoos]

I love MGMT, but he really isn't a great singer live.

[Mgmt2011]

@JordanCoos his voice is alot better in live..

[ccbc23]

@JordanCoos i think Congratulations songs fit him a lot better

[avedic]

man...james needs to shave that beard. he looks alot better here.

[liveslowlivesimple]

he sings whiney on purpose. thats the voice for the song and it fits marvellously

[leeleeyygg]

His voice sounds really whiney and stressed but for some reason I love it

[longgoneg60]

Honestly Sounds a bit whinny live, however on the album sounds great. Either way, one of my favorite artists.

[nge1301]

When he sings with that voice (on Weekend Wars and Pieces of What), it sounds like he can't sing.

Ironically, my two favorite tracks from the album.

[avedic]

@nge1301 i think he's probably inspired by wayne coyne of the flaming lips. similar vocal style. kinda strained but earnest. i like it. :)

[sassyhipster]

0:44-0:47... LOL.

[MgMt99]

matt can sing!!

[ramando111]

Irado!!!

[jloveys]

his voice reminded me of EEEEEeeeeeeeeee

[Hemispheres77]

This is one of my favorite MGMT songs. But could someone explain to me what this song is about?

[getoverit007]

@Hemispheres77 its about childhood and mariuhana :D

[zakkosaurusrex]

@getoverit007 you spelled marijuana wrong.

[lshskate9]

@Hemispheres77 the song is about the coming of the new age, the same one the mayans knew about. he talks about how he knows whats going to happen but people will think hes crazy if he just came out and said it. andrew is smart as fuck, people should listen to what he has to say

[Kamszot28]

he don't singing... fuck it <3

[BeatleJohn420]

Trippy

[TheStrinatiPoop]

MGMT sound better live !

[xxratedbuzz]

Make Good Music Today



[MrHappytime09]

super duper

[twokindsofhappiness]

His voice is really weird but i don't know, i love it!

[Werowocomico]

Obviously a great studio band...live?...not so much

[Taytay2201]

@Werowocomico What are you talking about? They sound great! How does it sound bad?

[ninjaboy419]

@Werowocomico only thing thats obvious is that you dont know anything

[dailysugar]

@Werowocomico agreed

[lucybellecrater]

what is with andrews voice talking and singing totally different hahahha

[dcdude171]

he has the gutair as me

[RyanSk8r99]

@dcdude171 everyone does

[catfishhunter7777]

amazing.

[theTREEamigos]

@IrishDancingRosie he kind of forces out air and sings at the same time. google it and youll probably learn how to do it

[IrishDancingRosie]

how does he make his voice sound like that

[parfumerie21]

die klingen einfach anders und besser als alle anderen . das ist nicht so eine allerweltsstimme

[sarahlovelp]

ahhh love his voice!! <3

[mcr08901]

his actual singing voice came out at 0:44

[myartsychannel]

@mcr08901 no, his singing voice 'came out' at the beginning. there's nothing bad about his voice here, i'd rather hear his natural voice than some autotuned shit

[mcr08901]

@myartsychannel nah nigga i didnt say it was a bad thing stfu

[renatogato0123456]

I like this more mgmt live music was rotten

[fezzynips]

late late shows with ferguson right??

cause ferguson's bad ass.

[calegan]

Oracular Spectacular >>> Congratulations

[GingerKidd360]

@calegan Disagreed but It's a close one.

[JeffisfromKentucky]

31 people don't have any fun on the weekends...

[MrGameguy5565]

Andrew Wyngarden= best voice, best hair

[antiheroskate100]

MGMT has so many different themes that its hard to pick.........thats why i like them all.

[sebbbey]

MGMT are so energetic that they will excite your nan.

you can't argue that this is a brilliant example of contemporary song writing.

[Nykie157]

Best MGMT somg of all time !!!!

[MeToSpeak]

@Nykie157 I agree!!

[MeToSpeak]

Whats this song about??

[WehrmachtSS1]

@MeToSpeak

about biiiig black Dick !!!!! :DDD (sorry bad joke)

[Bloodhound805]

@MeToSpeak

about weekend wars :)

[Zimmer89TH]

Hahahahaha!!! Yeah right!

[ALVAROCKAMILOK]

Me encanta MGMT y Andrew Vanwyngarden es lo máximo, aunque me doy cuenta que en vivo apesta :S

[eninstantes]

MGMT vs Tokio Hotel??? dude, you are comparing the shit with mustard! MGMT is a real band

[Zimmer89TH]

@VBxHITMANx At least TH can sing live unlike these guys. Look I guess one is not better than the other, it is all in personal taste.

[Zimmer89TH]

OMG! This is the band that some people are saying is better than Tokio Hotel! Hahahahahahahahah! OMG America what is wrong with you? I think too many drugs! I think American parents better start making the kids go to school and wake up and smell the coffee, because there is not any talent here in America! This band is awful. I would not let my dog listen to the crap. Sorry!

[VBxHITMANx]

@Zimmer89TH tokio hotel? hahaha they are soooo shitty. bahahahaha mgmt is way better than tokio hotel. I can't believe you would even say that tokio hotel is better

[sophstylezZ]

@Zimmer89TH haha, you say tokio hotel is better than mgmt?

did you ran against smth?

bill and tom are so gay

ich mein, tokio hotel ist ja so eine scheiss emo musik, es gibt glaub ich keine andere band auf der ganzen welt die soviele menschen hat die die band nicht mögen. bill kauliz ist sogar unter der top 100 der nervensten frauen.

du kannst andrew nicht mit bill vergleichen.

andrew is god!

[Zimmer89TH]

@sophstylezZ Does it matter if anyone is gay or not to be a good band, singer , actor,what ever? Tom is not gay. I don't care if they all were. What does that have to do with anything?

[HalesinRELOADED]

@Zimmer89TH shut the fuck up, MGMT is way better than tokio hotel.

i used to listen to tokio hotel way before they were famous and now i stopped and I am listening to MGMT and they are no main stream shit, and tokio hotel became

also halt die fresse du fotze

[Dazzz995]

tokio hotel better than mgmt :p ur funny tokio hotel are shit :)

[hulik13]

@Zimmer89TH Dude, everything except Justin Bieber and Jonas brothers is better than Tokio Hotel. I´m not American btw, check their album Oracular Spectacular...

[VVeekendVVarrior]

@Zimmer89TH lol.... tokio hotel hahahaha good joke dude

[summerrainxx3]

<3

[sophstylezZ]

:DD

[HonkyCat90]

I love seeing the bass player play rickenbacker (or however you write it). Nice looking bass, the best looking bass in my opinion.

[deathletters16]

If you want to learn Weekend Wars by MGMT on guitar please check out my tutorial here on youtube. /watch?v=BRUsyLjoRSM

[nobasto]

Wow I didn't know this song was old! Can anyone plz upload the studio version of this song? No rmx, no live version plz.

[tomclancy10]

@nobasto

Just Youtube MGMT-Weekend wars , first video.

[SniperCinema]

All their live performances in 2008 weren't that good. They said in their interviews they had no time to really plan out their concerts and they weren't prepared. They have really improved their live performances seven fold.

[AsianAsianAsianAsian]

i love this shit

[TheLamas408]

@AsianAsianAsianAsian Your really asian.

[263javier]

@TheLamas408 you're

tubhubby666

[yan008]

@TheLamas408 No, he's AsianAsianAsianAsian!!!!

[1N4N1M4730BJ3C7]

you guys are crazy this song is great recorded this is a mediocre performance at best if you want to hear a good live band look up the temper trap.

[TylerrColeDavisFilms]

lol I saw this

[ThePantsofBattery09]

I just saw them in Nashville too. They sounded amazing. Honestly, better than this. But this isn't bad either! It was just that good Thursday night at the Ryman!

[luvofjwnlost]

@ThePantsofBattery09 ahh I was at the Nashville show too! Yeah, no doubt. they sound soooo phenomenal live.

[nolan7675]

i just saw them in nashville, it was my best concert, easily

[raphaelhdds]

reminds me the voice of alex rose in the beging of career

[AlexMixter]

This song is perfect in every way.

[hastanga69]

5stars live pêrformance I love this band

[XxlithiumlisaXx]

I saw them in miami on Tuesday, got to meet them. They were DAMN good.

[dcasarotti]

Crazy!

[PopSong1]

I saw them live in Orlando on Monday, they were AMAZING!!!

[maggeh16]

the voice..ohhhhhhhhhhhhhh BABYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY!

[scarface2148]

i has that same les paul :D:D:D ima so happpyyyyyyyyyyy faaaaaaaaaaaaaaace

[thefrizzter]

Andrews voice is incredible live ... so incredible

[babeegirl002]

his voice. oh my goodddd<3

[Marlieees1]

I saw them on week ago, and they started with this song ! (:

[BRADLEYHUH]

@Marlieees1 No you fucking didnt mate there on fucking tour dont lie and try to make yourself seem cool on youtube you dirty cheeky basterd.

[MUSICIlove1998]

Some say his voice sucks then f*** off cuz u werent asked to listen to it

[philwel]

@MUSICIlove1998 totally agree myy friend

[ashcliffeable]

@MUSICIlove1998 It's their opinion. Let them be.

[maryjaneskull]

I love MGMT and this is my favorite song, bu his voice is not that good live....!!! ..

[thekwalk21]

gahh i love andrews voice live

[240sx00588]

every one with the stupid comments saying he cant sing 1:why are u looking up MGMT videos 2:its mellow musicc chill as fuck

[cool87124]

his voice is amazing. 

[legimenes]

being mainstream doesn't mean to be something like justin bieber, just means you do something catchy, that somehow falls in an universal taste of esthetic. Anyways, both cds are good.

[meonyouztubecom]

theyre so awesome!! who says that there´s no more good music nowadays?

[Frankie14Theo]

hahahha !! even if i like MGMT i have to confess that the guy sings out of the notes TOTALY in the whole song !! he is not a good singer at all .. The color of his voice maybe is good but he is realy bad in general.. He cant sing

[meotoko77]

@Frankie14Theo lol, I dont give a shit. The lyrics are always awesome.

[Frankie14Theo]

@meotoko77 The lurics are awesome indeed ! The music also .. But he cant sing..

[SirBarneyGumble]

This performance was from a while ago. He's a lot better now. @Frankie14Theo

[ninjaunicon2727]

@Frankie14Theo dude. why watch this video or listen to their music if u think he cant sing. It just doesnt make sense to rip on a band, or Andrew's awesome singing, if you had to be looking at MGMT stuff to find it. Please, i value your opinion, just keep the comments positive.

[Frankie14Theo]

@ninjaunicon2727 I listen the music cos is pretty.. The lyrics also .. But the guy he cant sing en vivo.. Anyway,no matter how hard u try he will never fuck you cos ure ugly ;) jeje

[bolinho0987]

mgmt pwnz preety hard

[mrPonyboy360]

man i saw an enterview and they say its only about the music and its so true

[kimberly45b]

OMOMGOMG!

MGMT IS THE BEST ♥

MORE ANDREW :$

[snowysnow91]

is andrews guitar a gibson



[mickjoG]

@snowysnow91 yes.. more than likely... most pro's use Gibson's.

[celebrant9]

@snowysnow91

It's a Gibson L5-S.

@mickjoG

Where did you come up with this?

Lmao, there are tons of professional musicians who do not use Gibson guitars.

[snowysnow91]

@celebrant9 hey i never said that al pros use gibsons i just asked and hat was someones elses comment about that not mine just letting u know

[celebrant9]

@snowysnow91

I know, mate. Only the first half of my reply was adressed to you.

[snowysnow91]

@celebrant9 ha oh my bad

[BeyondHell55]

Whenever I go onto any MGMT video it's always people arguing about something stupid. Dude relax, it's music and MGMT owns at making it. Who cares what the critics or fans say. If you like it, you like it.

[itswafflex3]

@BeyondHell55 so damn true.

[nikllad]

@BeyondHell55 sure its a good song, but your being hypocritical and contradicting

[franksoul]

@BeyondHell55 that was one of the most sensible thing i read in the internet in a long time

[abarca3315]

@BeyondHell55 if you have no critics you'll likely have no success. words of malcom x my nigga

[jesmichel38]

actually acid...

[mikemcm]

@jesmichel38 mabye some x

[porelgrancarajo]

orgásmico!!

[blueorchid38]

this is great! idk why people complain about them live

[MGMTpretendingIsKey]

@blueorchid38 i think there great live maybe some songs they need to work on but for the most part there really good

[mariodexter1]

Good music but I Fuckin hate hippies!

[mikemcm]

@mariodexter1 why dawg?

[mariodexter1]

@mikemcm they shut down my favorite dirt bike trail because of a stupid bird. The population of that particular bird was low in that area and fucking hippies blamed it on the dirt bikers! Have you ever seen a bird get hit by a dirt bike? Me neither!!! But they got a petition and shut it down! They constantly bitch and complain about everything. Dont get me wrong, I agree with some of the problems they have with issues like whales, rainforest and building homes everywhere, but they are annoying

[eliwamo]

I'm not sure whats up with the drummer, he's crazy stiff... He plays like my bassist, who obviously isn't good if he's the bassist and I'M the drummer... it's weirdin me out! haha, love this song!

[gustavotayer]

supergrass now



[CalitmeWhoLoveA]

Andrew's voice it's so good, what happened there?? it could sound better than that. But maybe in other concerts this song don't sound that bad, but i still admire and loving Andrew <3<3<3<3

[jdubayou12]

God given talent

[fuglybaloogawhales55]

i wanna jump andrew. look at that sexy ass headband

[fabi199311]

kjakjakjakjakaj the beginning make me LOL!!!!!!!!

LOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOL!!!­!!!!!

[caroline1697]

did anyone else realize that at 2:30 james the guitarist started singing "instant--" instead of the right verse haha cute.

[alexaa841]

HOLY FRICKEN CRAP!

IM SEEING THESE KIDS

TOOO FUCKING MORROW..JULY15TH,SANDIEGO<3! :D

SOOOOOOOO STOKED! (:

[BleedingSoulVideos]

I really like this song..but his voice live...idk what's goin' on there :P

[jacedward]

@BleedingSoulVideos IMO, his voice is really amazing live, because it's so raw and intense. Just because it doesn't sound exactly like the album doesn't mean it's bad. In fact, this is one of my favorite performances of theirs.

[PocketJaces]

@jacedward Raw maybe, but I think his vocals kinda sucked a little here. Not to say he wasn't into it, it just happens.

[Marion678]

@PocketJaces On the contrary, I was amazed at how his voice sounds exactly similar live and on the cd !

Though, he does have a little more vibrato if you know what I mean, which makes him sound a bit like a goat at the beginning. No offense to him^^

[RyeLime22]

MGMT=BETTER THAN JESUS. THIS FAR FROM SUCKS PEOPLE!

[elurseeknay]

this band gets boring after listening to the album a few times

OH NO NOW SOME STUPID SHALLOW FAN BOYS ARE GENNA THUMBS DOWN MY COMMENT

[TheKeyWestian]

@elurseeknay haha, thumbs down. they never get old.

[stripeypopcans]

damn, look at ben go on the keyboards!

MGMT = epic :)

[EminusJoshicus]

I Love Andrew(:
