MGMT - Pieces Of What (Live Jools Holland 2008)

[WildeVerfolgungsjagt]

seine stimme hört sich so kindlich an ^^

aber machts nur besser :)

[bubblegumdrop5]

This performance is outstanding and gives me butterflies every time that I listen to it. They have undeniably been number 1 on my list to see live for the past 3 years. I am really hoping that it happens one day haha.

[meroinheroin]

They sound better live, (y)

[UneAsyTube888]

epic



[rock1the1arts100]

I still say that bassist looks like Brett from Flight of the Concords.

[485colt]

I actually really like this line up

[Kfra832]

i fell in love.

[PuReNiRvANA1]

best version

[legitasheck]

I did some acid the other day and watched this. I came.

[cruzholland]

such a pure voice

[DaveFoleyMusic]

wtf just realized james is playin drums here...who is now the lead guitarist lol

[DarkAngelEU]

I don't care Belgians have chocolate, beer, hot chicks whatsoever. But when a band starts singing bout my country, I feel blessed to live here :)

[RyeLime22]

I actually do not have words for this...I have tears, THIS IS SO AMAZING!

[tiesje93]

who is that guitarist?

amazing band btw.

love them

[AimeeOrSomething]

@tiesje93 Hank Sullivant. He's one of Andrew's friends that was the touring guitarist for a while ( :

[tiesje93]

@AimeeOrSomething oh okee good. i rather got james as guitarist en will the drums, but mgmt is always amazing.

many thanks for your reaction..

[Vivailgelato]

Perfection is singing. Gosh, amazing

[dreadbet]

kings of leon and MGMT are gold nowadays

[HeNdRiXIzGoD321]

Wow, i never knew Neil Young played on Jools Holland!

[drakezen]

The Verve had said 'The drugs don't work'. They were wrong in this case. While that may hold true 99% of the time. There is still that 1% where it just all comes together. Here is mgmt.

[rock1the1arts100]

Who is that on bass?

It looks like Bret from Flight of the Conchords

[PLCBZ]

neil young

[XxJesseXdrummerxX]

LSD!

[LastOfTheWilds920]

who went to this event stoned? lol

[Sheeeeepies1]

I hope they dont od and die...............

[mowiatt]

MGMT....we dont deserve your music.

[peanutbuttercupcakes]

my favorite song, I kind of like it better live. :)

[xjakemarinx]

2:19 gave me chills

[raulbarrientos007]

damn so talented

[weirdfishes15]

MGMT does acoustic really well considering most of their songs are with synthesizers and keyboards

[sk8erguy011]

cool pic of andrew and ben at 1:01

[MatheusLigabue]

This is their best fucking song. I mean, just listen.

[j66hng]

@VeryLargeRat I agree! Maybe it's yoda?

[popselias]

what I am saying ...is these guys got it and don't be too different of what they have. U2 did the same thing and got lost. Pearl Jam too. Music is is honest not contribed.  They are kids and NEED to know that. A riff with words and their words are good. Greg Plalast,

[greatbigbengaltiger]

I could have written this piece of shit if I listened to Neil Young for a whole day...come on...these guys should be better than this...

[ShaggyMondays]

@greatbigbengaltiger then write something better...

[freakout2freakout]

holland is sure proud )))

i feel like im 10 times closer to their feelings when listening to this...

[QueenSparrow]

This is the kind of video that makes me thank the higher powers that I have tickets to see them in December in Copenhagen!!!

[popselias]

To MGMT...DON"T GO AWAY FROM THIS GREAT!!! ALBUM TOO MUCH!!!! PINK FLOYDS FIRST ALBUMS WERE JUST OKAY AND THEN THEY CRANKED THEM OUT...FIRST IS SOUND...SOUND... THIS ALBUM HAS MAJOR SONGS ON IT...DONT BECOME TOO CORRECT AND RUIN THE SOUND...BEATLES FIRST ALBUMS REALLY SIMILAR TOO...GGRREEAATT SONG AND ALBUM...SIMON AND GARFUNKEL..NICE JOB FELLAS!!!!

[VeryLargeRat]

@popselias uhh...what are you even saying? I'm not making a judgment, I'm just saying that your statement is fairly incomprehensible.

[TheCrimsonEdged]

I listened to a few clips of these guys and i find the, quite bad live. That guys sounds like nails on a chalkboard to me.

[Chunkything]

Andrew looks like... a male version of Emma Watson............

[johnnythewonderfly]

Man, he sounds a lot like Neil Young.

[fredypeio]

@johnnythewonderfly you're right ^^

[chaiaia]

Andrew canta diversamente dal solito. E anche le espressioni sono differenti.

Grande come sempre comunque :)

[PATAGONIALOOP]

BORING.-

[ilovestanmarsh29]

I'm gonna marry andrew one day... you guys just wait.

[TcheletMiriam]

@ilovestanmarsh29 can i join you? :D

hmm.. that didn't come out right...

[ilovestanmarsh29]

@TcheletMiriam nooo he's all mine :D

[beatlesloverrr]

love them. they're so legit.

[drweth89]

if radiohead like them, they must be good

[killyridols14]

It sounds like he's trying to imitate Daniel Johnson

[catorforn1]

sounds like shit more like it

[Klyons92]

sounds like you're trying to imitate a huge tool

[drewan666]

andrews sings so weird. its good though!

[Klyons92]

I agree! It is weird, but that's what makes it good! Kinda like Neil Young in that it's winey (?) lol mad good

[Thomosexual]

@Klyons92 like Neil Young? nah, never! this is just crap, Neil Young is a genius!

[ohyesitsdevo]

@Thomosexual Neil Young is a genius. MGMT are geniuses.You're a giant douche.

[Klyons92]

@Thomosexual yeah man this song actually has a place in my freedom. It's actually pushed me forward in many ways. For me that hasn't happened with Neil Young, so FOR ME I almost appreciate MGMT for their music more... If only they were Canadian though... oh well no one's perfect... unless they're Canadian haha just jokes

[mrvanessaomglol]

theyre so cool

[Pornycionado]

Awsomness

[whyishow]

Eric Bana

[jmccee]

I wouldn't of pegged Andrew for playing a strat.

[teddyhart4life]

wow, andy had a big crack on the guitar, first time ive seen him not just strum or pick chords

[kinggustavo77]

all of their music is better live

[frawgy]

LOVE thiis song...

8)

it's a very "powerful" performance...

[sarrrah000]

I actually like pieces of what better live.

[Murfs13]

[BigOlBagOfWhatsNew]

[glosoly]

THey look too young!!!! lol

[psuedospike]

This is such a Ween song; which makes me love it even more!

[bosox5815]

this is better than the album version, this is amazing

[mgs0893]

@bosox5815 I agree, bro. There's just something about MGMT live that just sounds... right

[mackles]

@bosox5815 your totally right, this blows the album version completely away

[juicebox2006]

well its great influence to have. god bless them

[brice7015]

great, awsome, live MGMT ; that sound is fuckin' powerfull

[alo45666]

twice as better live ;)

[v8nightmarekk]

sounds like neil young on this song

[smithhedgehog]

very true.

[AZNsplatform]

hah, never heard that, but now that you say it - he really sounds a bit like Neil.

[kingofthecouch1]

fuckin awesome! pieces of uncut diamond!

[me2d1950]

it so bad

[Fender1424]

As is your grammar ;)

[alexsuchapimp]

More like "pieces of shit"

[ChernobylTaco]

The guy sounds just like Neil Young, with a hint of Billy Corgan.

[willem01]

i recognise the second guitarist but i don't know from what...anybody know?...

[natasha2009]

THe lead guitarist is Hank Sullivant, and he fronts a band named Kuroma! They're pretty good, check em out!

[willem01]

are you hot?

[natasha2009]

smokin ;)

[willem01]

Hmm!... :)-

[DearrAbby]

i love the way they did this

[saodmv]

i prefer james to hank and will to james playing drums

[WhiteUnicornSoldiers]

well my mistake than lol

[flaninthefacerh]

STEVE YOUNG

[WhiteUnicornSoldiers]

Everyone, they are not influenced by Neil Young! Just like lucyfan1976 said every song of theirs sound different...Now to me even this song doesnt really make ee how they would be influenced by Neil Young but thats your thoughts. Listen to all of their songs and you`ll change your mind about them being influenced by Neil Young. Neil Young is a god though I must say!

[lasfinisimas]

Andrew once said that he was influenced by Neil Young...so I'm pretty sure

[12qwerty123]

they are influenced by him but i may not show in every song.. but it is very evident in this particular song that his voice sounds similar to that of neil

[CecilEubanks]

Andrew actually has cited Neil Young as an influence on their music in several interviews. This song in my opinion is very Neil Young-esque lyrically and musically with a simple chord progression.

[lasfinisimas]

Andrew said in an interview that he was obssesed by Neil Young on his teens...he also likes Suicide, Sonic Boom, Royal Trux, Chrome and lots of cool shit

[summervets]

You know that Sonic Boom isnt a band,right?...It's a person from the band Spacemen 3...Peter Kember=Sonic Boom XD

[lasfinisimas]

Well for your information Peter Kember releases records as Sonic Boom so it can be considered as a band (a one man project just like Spiritualized). So go and try to correct other people's comments.

[poupefaction]

MGMT are from the space, no other way...

I find them so talented, and love them so much, there isnt any word to describe their music. It's just fantastic.

I hope they'll make us fly to the moon a bit longer!

[louisalive]

@poupefaction it's called being on psychedelic mushrooms

[ThePsychedelicLand]

@poupefaction

it's neospychedelia like the greates bands of the 60's and 70's

MGMT is fantastic, and how you say, "they are from the space" and you can travel with MGMT  taking a trip of psychedelic drugs, really, try it, is just.... inexplicable.

[SoniSteezy]

@ThePsychedelicLand I bet you're a winner

[JRICHHHH]

@poupefaction i feel the exact same way. i dont think MGMT is from Earth, They are just too good. i tried to explain that to somebody and they simply didnt understand :(

[44hockeyguy]

@poupefaction i love them as much as you but its not like this sound is not out there. they are neo psychedelic. listen to any pink floyd with Syd Barret.

[plcbmathilde]

mgmt is the new led zepplin

[lucyfan1976]

that is the cool thing about MGMT, almost every song of theirs sounds different..

[mccoy07]

mhmm Neil Young.

[fiercedudeman12]

I love MGMT and yeah maybe they are influencied by Young's music but they have a lot of different songs and they are great

[ConnbineHarvester]

Will people please stop posting things that have the words Neil and Young in them.

[maca12345678]

lmao

[rsantos1989]

I say they sound more like Kneel Yung the chinese singer songwriter

[ConnbineHarvester]

It's better you dont make unfunny racist comments. Especially the unfunny ones. But more especially the racist ones too.

[lucyfan1976]

yup neil young

[carolinalax305]

exactly what i thought.........neil young

[riskyjab]

good effort

[shaug034]

NEIL YOUNG

[terracrush1234]

I'm gonna be the only comment here that doesn't mention Neil Young.

...Oh wait. Crap.

[alos87]

yeh neil young is his idol,,i actually think im in love with him

[leokie06]

he's a poor man's neil young.

[fenxzen]

Voice sound like Neil Young that's true.

[starfoxx]
