I love Andrew so much. Not for how gorgeous he is but how he thinks. His opinions on things are amazing and I love what he says in the last part about how things will change and love is the answer. It is beautiful seeing him say stuff like that, I love him.
I wish they upload a new interview every day...and release a new album every month. I have watched all of their interviews many times. They are so adorable. I'm obsessed with MGMT
I love what he said at the end, he is on my wave length just like I though but it is awesome to know he sees things the same cause their musics resonates with me sm.
So I kinda really love this. Everything about this interview took my breath away. The editing, the image, the sound, the answers, ANDREW AND BEN...im no specialist but this is BEATIFUL
crazy! i was just about to post what a wonderful interview this was and then near the end... i see myself! in the crowd. that was the absolute best MGMT show i've ever seen. i felt as if no one else was there (minus my sister who was right up against me! haha) but fabulous interview!
Wow. The last interview I saw with this band, a few years ago, had the lead singer strung out of his mind. It's refreshing to see him lucid, especially given the fame train they've ridden on.
"Here's what I think, I think that a lot of days for me recently it's like every split second the whole universe is created or destroyed, it's constantly collapsing and reforming. And I think a lot people feel that and i think that love is the answer and that's the only that matters. I think there's a lot of really evil people who do have control of everything, but I think people know what to do and there is going to be a big change."
Wow, these dudes are tripping talented.... and manifesting it. Most original and deep music I have had the pleasure of hearing in my life. Our good nature is to want to share good things but whether many people get it does not matter. The fact that I love it and you love it is all that matters.
"i think that love is the answer and that's the only thing that matters. i think there are a lot of really evil people that are in control of everything, but i think people know what to do and there's going to be a big change."
Andrew is right on when describing to people who actually listen to the music. I'm a weirdo, I smoke weed and...well I don't have dyed hair but haha. Their music is lovely.
i love mgmt so much. i remember growing up and being really into bands like zeppelin, pink floyd nd thinking tht there would never be such a caliber of music written, but mgmt has made the electronic equivalent. nd amazing interview. o nd can any1 plzzzz id the song at 4:05
@pkgrip I agree completely. Nothing seems rushed, just a simple laid-back interview there's no pressure? I can't explain too well. I've other videos similiar to this where they can be honest and more open on what they say, as you said. Those are my favourite kind of interviews.
I had to see this video three times to actually hear what he says. 1st time: I stared at Andrew 2nd time: I stared at the other guy 3rd time: I listened c:
@Kimarius2die4 the other guy has a name and he's name is Ben, and he's in the band too. I agree with you and believe that andrew is just so beautiful and blah blah blah, but we can't forget that Ben it's part of the band too, and without him MGMT wouldn't be or even sound like the MGMT of now days.
im not going to say that he is so deep because of what he is saying, i wont say it because even though i listen to their music religiously, i dont know them personaly and i dont know if the are good people or if they are corrupt be fame (which i can kinda tell that they arent, but i will say that they are great people -from what i know-, and their music is probably the greatest from the past 20 years and i will hold on hope that they actualy mean all of what they say because its honestly amazing
@HaloGXartist45 I think it's important to make a distinction between good and bad drugs. of course the difference isn't black and white, but it's better than lumping all drugs together as "stuff you shouldn't do." Marijauna, LSD, psilocybin, DMT, and other entheogens, when it comes to a cost/benefit analysis, definitely skew more positive than negative. mdma and cocaine(in moderation) are good/bad depending on alot. while alcohol is tremendously dangerous to personal and social well-being.
the first time i see them talking about knowledge, in an interview that is, they do it while in my city, t to the dot. all is love and all is one brah.
Where are these live performances from? And if so, is there a full recording somewhere out there in the universe? These songs are surprisingly good live :D Come to New Zealand, MGMT!!
@musicluver354 lol ya i noticed it from the very beggining and i thought andrew was hogging the microphone or something lol but even when andrew gives ben the mic he doesn't talk and it was so cute because when i went to the concert i was waiting in line and andrew came out to say hi to all his fans and all you see is ben walking away from everyone and like hiding behind the tour bus just chilling there with a drink. i was like aww bens shy haha.
You could just listen to the album and find out for yourself. That'd be nice. Give the band the time of day to listen to just one album all the way through.
@mysticblue436 I rewatched that part after reading your comment, Ben rolled his eyes. I didn't notice that the first time. Hmm. Maybe it's because Ben is always with Andrew, always hearing his rants and "insightful bits" and all, he just gets a little tired of them.
@HaloGXartist45 not everything. not at all. but, musicians artists and those in creative fields tend to use marijuana, lsd, and other natural and rather safe drugs to legitimately heighten creativity. I'm 28 now and started writing music when I was 18. for years I struggled. It was fun of course, and challenging,but I never "broke through" so to speak. The day I first tried marijuana when I was 23 changed ALL that. it has had a HUGE positive impact on my life and my creative endeavors since then
omg 7:31 is soo funny. He's talking like he's kinda serious but when you look at his face you can tell theres like a hint of humour there. "heres what i think" lol when he says that with so much authority i burst out laughing and all i see is ben holding in his laughter on the side. I love them there soo funny . Some of the things they say people think there serious about but most of the time there just bs everyone haha.
@Live442 I saw them live and partied all night with then last year in Vienna..i can discribe them in one worth - PERFECT!!! :DDD BEST TIME IN MY LIFE :))
i wish the people who made this interview would upload the full performance!! it's like the best performance of weekend wars i've ever heard!!!
andrew looks so proud after saying his theory about the univers falling apart
the way this video is filmed,edited and put together is just perfect
Ben is so underrated its insane I LOVE YOU BENO
I love Andrew so much. Not for how gorgeous he is but how he thinks. His opinions on things are amazing and I love what he says in the last part about how things will change and love is the answer. It is beautiful seeing him say stuff like that, I love him.
Ben looks perfect in this interview! he's adorable
I wish they upload a new interview every day...and release a new album every month.
I have watched all of their interviews many times. They are so adorable.
I'm obsessed with MGMT
i was able to see almost every single pore on their faces during this interview, but it's definitely one of my favorites. also the live performance ❤
I love what he said at the end, he is on my wave length just like I though but it is awesome to know he sees things the same cause their musics resonates with me sm.
This is one of my favorites interview from MGMT
Both albums are amazing to me.
So I kinda really love this. Everything about this interview took my breath away. The editing, the image, the sound, the answers, ANDREW AND BEN...im no specialist but this is BEATIFUL
why can't all the interviews have this kind of quality? I admire who ever put together this video, its interesting..... refreshing?
some of the live footage in this video makes me cry. it's so beautiful. ben and andrew are such wonderful human beings.
Andrew is so beauuutiful
Yeeeeeeeeeeees
Gey
I love final phrases!
You can FEEL the passion in their live shows!!!!!!!!!!!! UGH! YEAH! LONG LIVE MGMT!
When my grandchildren ask my who inspired me when I was young, I know what to answer.
crazy! i was just about to post what a wonderful interview this was and then near the end... i see myself! in the crowd. that was the absolute best MGMT show i've ever seen. i felt as if no one else was there (minus my sister who was right up against me! haha)
but fabulous interview!
What Andrew said was so beautiful. Made me cry. I deeply feel what he is saying.. just wow. beautiful. ♥
Wow. The last interview I saw with this band, a few years ago, had the lead singer strung out of his mind. It's refreshing to see him lucid, especially given the fame train they've ridden on.
omfg literally the magical hippies of today

this video was done beautifully. in a way they're geniuses in their creations yet they barely realize it.
Wow, these dudes are tripping talented.... and manifesting it. Most original and deep music I have had the pleasure of hearing in my life. Our good nature is to want to share good things but whether many people get it does not matter. The fact that I love it and you love it is all that matters.
he totally looks like JIM !!!!
"i think that love is the answer and that's the only thing that matters. i think there are a lot of really evil people that are in control of everything, but i think people know what to do and there's going to be a big change."
ME AND THE PEOPLE NEED TO KNOW WHERE THE FULL PERFORMANCE IS FOR THIS !!!
Love your profile pic lol
Andrew is right on when describing to people who actually listen to the music. I'm a weirdo, I smoke weed and...well I don't have dyed hair but haha. Their music is lovely.
is there any way of you uploading the full live versions of this? that would make me really really happy! thank you so much
Andrew is beautiful.
i love MGMT fans they are so awesome : )
i love mgmt so much. i remember growing up and being really into bands like zeppelin, pink floyd nd thinking tht there would never be such a caliber of music written, but mgmt has made the electronic equivalent.
nd amazing interview.
o nd can any1 plzzzz id the song at 4:05
Of moons, birds & monsters. Hello there 10yr old question. 😂
there are tons of really good bands today, they're just harder to find. I like Psychedelic Porn Crumpets for one
I love how Andrew always has to be fidgeting with something in his hands
awesome interviwe! i reaaaally want to see them live
third song is Of Moons, Birds and Monsters
fourth is The Youth.
I think those are third and fourth.
oh my GODDD i am in love with them, their music, their originality, the brillaince of their new album, and ANDREW ahhhh real music
Refreshing to hear real music in this generation.
Only Andrew can compare a professional music career to an everlasting gobstopper and make it sound oh so poetic(:
they are so amazing
(2:24-2:52) Am I the only one who thinks this is one of the best weekend wars performances EVER???!!!
Agreed Musicasaurus. They shots, editing and sound quality is seriously amazing.
Great job
@pkgrip I agree completely. Nothing seems rushed, just a simple laid-back interview there's no pressure? I can't explain too well. I've other videos similiar to this where they can be honest and more open on what they say, as you said. Those are my favourite kind of interviews.
Probably my favourite video on RUclips ever.
I had to see this video three times to actually hear what he says.
1st time: I stared at Andrew
2nd time: I stared at the other guy
3rd time: I listened c:
"the other guy" bruh
His name is ben goldwasser, and he is totally gorgeous
@Kimarius2die4 the other guy has a name and he's name is Ben, and he's in the band too. I agree with you and believe that andrew is just so beautiful and blah blah blah, but we can't forget that Ben it's part of the band too, and without him MGMT wouldn't be or even sound like the MGMT of now days.
@goldendaiz actually its from their 2nd album. their first album being Climbing to New Lows in 2005
Ahahah, there lacks little for MGMT's groupie! LOL ahahaha
@thegoonist Its "I found a whistle", from the Congratulations album :)
@vervainrose "Of Moons, Birds & Monsters", from the Oracular Spectacular album.
favorite mgmt interview by far
im dying , this video is amazing. andrew is stunning
they act british, and their music sounds a bit british also, which i like.
im not going to say that he is so deep because of what he is saying, i wont say it because even though i listen to their music religiously, i dont know them personaly and i dont know if the are good people or if they are corrupt be fame (which i can kinda tell that they arent, but i will say that they are great people -from what i know-, and their music is probably the greatest from the past 20 years and i will hold on hope that they actualy mean all of what they say because its honestly amazing
i want to see them live so badly
They've both got really nice faces. Like, perfect faces. They're both so smart too..
I Saw Them in Memphis, TN with Manchester Orchestra, Cage The Elephant, and The Flaming Lips. Andrew came home :D
@HaloGXartist45 I think it's important to make a distinction between good and bad drugs. of course the difference isn't black and white, but it's better than lumping all drugs together as "stuff you shouldn't do."

Wow, really weird not hearing Andrew being sarcastic during an interview.
the first time i see them talking about knowledge, in an interview that is, they do it while in my city, t to the dot. all is love and all is one brah.
I love that Everlasting Gobstopper metaphor.
I think I can speak for the entire world by stating that Indie Rock has saved us from self-destruction.
Well you heard it here, love is the answer. What was the question again?
please tell me where was this show?
it's* Of Moons, Birds & Monsters
Ben at 6:18 through 6:28, is just breath taking
Andrew over here 10 years ago predicting the 2020s 😀
For what Andrew said at 7:24 to the end. We got this under control man
which is the third song and fourth song?
1)found a whistl
2) weekend wars
The third is the ending of Of Moons, Birds and Monsters
The fourth is The Youth
And the last one is Flash Delirium
Aww Andrew's so beautiful and so is ben :D I'm probably one of the 30 out of millions of fans that shows ben some love too.
Where are these live performances from? And if so, is there a full recording somewhere out there in the universe? These songs are surprisingly good live :D
Come to New Zealand, MGMT!!
@musicluver354 lol ya i noticed it from the very beggining and i thought andrew was hogging the microphone or something lol but even when andrew gives ben the mic he doesn't talk and it was so cute because when i went to the concert i was waiting in line and andrew came out to say hi to all his fans and all you see is ben walking away from everyone and like hiding behind the tour bus just chilling there with a drink. i was like aww bens shy haha.
You could just listen to the album and find out for yourself. That'd be nice. Give the band the time of day to listen to just one album all the way through.
@HunterxSikk I'm 1000% sure that Andrew and Ben are the ones being interviewed
@Musicasaurus That's not ben. Thats another band member.
It wasn't a theory, it was an account of personal experience.
@rawrsizzle that comment that he made followed by flash delirium put me through a weird/awesome/teary eyed mood for about 10 seconds.. really strange
@mysticblue436 I rewatched that part after reading your comment, Ben rolled his eyes. I didn't notice that the first time. Hmm. Maybe it's because Ben is always with Andrew, always hearing his rants and "insightful bits" and all, he just gets a little tired of them.
i love you mgmt is the reason im still alive
LOVE MGMT
He said Upstate New York and I freaked. I live there
but what andrew is doing to that microphone in the end... that's just hot.
what's that very last song? can't get it out of my head! 8:00 - to the end..
i've decided that if i don't see them live in the next 2 years i'll die
@HaloGXartist45 not everything. not at all. but, musicians artists and those in creative fields tend to use marijuana, lsd, and other natural and rather safe drugs to legitimately heighten creativity. I'm 28 now and started writing music when I was 18. for years I struggled. It was fun of course, and challenging,but I never "broke through" so to speak. The day I first tried marijuana when I was 23 changed ALL that. it has had a HUGE positive impact on my life and my creative endeavors since then
@666thehazard he does do hardcore drugs, the song "its working" is about some sort of psychedelic drug. i.e ecstasy or heroin.
@tomoliveras actually no ben started talking when he was talking
i love the way andrew thinks
....and looks :)
I just cannot believe how they have just disappeared.
They're back!! 💜
This was very enjoyable
omg 7:31 is soo funny. He's talking like he's kinda serious but when you look at his face you can tell theres like a hint of humour there. "heres what i think" lol when he says that with so much authority i burst out laughing and all i see is ben holding in his laughter on the side. I love them there soo funny . Some of the things they say people think there serious about but most of the time there just bs everyone haha.
6:57-7 minutes, andrew cuts off ben twice. when he's been talking the whole time
talked to ben when they played in Copenhagen last time.. :-)
i love the gobstoper metaphore!
These guys are so exasperating. Their music and their overall attitude/overlook on life.
They seem to have changed since Oracular, not NEARLY as stoner-ish
Which i'm happy to see :D
I do miss the sarcasm a little though, heh
Son perfectos.
"everlasting gobstopper" i like that metaphor :)
The one with the glasses? I just started listening to these guys so I have no idea who's who lol
@Live442
I saw them live and partied all night with then last year in Vienna..i can discribe them in one worth - PERFECT!!! :DDD BEST TIME IN MY LIFE :))
