Gabriel Campbell
John Long
u better play KIDS bro
Isaiah Harris
imagine being the Eagles and play a full hour to a dead audience, then play hotel california and everyone goes nuts, then they die again.
Nolan Rivera
I was just thinking how badly it hurts them when they play the opening synth chords to Electric Feel and see the crowd go absolutely insane for a song they wrote in college.
Kevin Moore
I would actually fucking blow my brains out if I went to an MGMT concert and they didn't play neither Weekend Wars nor Siberian Breaks.
I am completely earnest.
Kayden Price
i would pay for an mgmt ticket solely to hear siberian breaks live
Jaxson Richardson
Fuck normies, ESPECIALLY music concert/festival normies.
That being said Kids is fantastic and one of their best songs so they should play it, even if the majority of people think it's just a pop banger and don't realize it's actually pretty melancholic song.
Jordan Sullivan
>people think it's just a pop banger
they do? i think its a pretty dark song, i mean look at the fucking vid.
Jose Reed
10/10
Kevin Bailey
Best psych album of the century so far coming through
Cameron Taylor
ME AND MICHAEEEEEEEEL
David Richardson
It’s so beautiful live bros, go see them if you have the chance
youtu.be
Hunter Brooks
Shut up and play the hits weirdos
Chase Collins
They don’t play it live anymore
Kevin Young
I saw them play it last year in LA liar
Tyler Cox
Imagine the eagles whining about having to play hotel california
Play the hits
>buhhh waah muh artistic expressi-
Shut up, play the tunes
Kevin Thomas
memE & mIchaEl
Sebastian Cox
Imagine listening to the eagles
Noah Moore
The Eagles' following is big enough and dedicated enough that their live audiences know ALL of the songs. When I saw them live, I experienced this first hand. Also their music is bland and middle-of-the-road enough that they can have such a following. MGMT is too experimental for normies.

Was this revenge for Congratulations flopping?
Nolan Martinez
Seems pretty fucking based to not play their biggest hit.
Fuck normies.
Andrew Barnes
In an interview they said they intentionally ruined their music career by making less and less accessible music (until LDA).
Pretty based
Bentley Murphy
Pretty sure they never said that, they've always defended their music by saying its what they want to make
Gavin Wilson
>waaah in so edgy i hate fame bros i hate being rich man
>i've grown out of those old songs, now my songs are super epic
cringe
Play the hits or stop whining that people don't care about your "le patrician" later material.
The normies are the reason these clowns aren't flipping burgers
Gabriel Kelly
>get to make music for a living
>get rich
>get hot girlfriends
>adored by hundreds of thousands or even millions of people
>get mad at the thing that makes you popular
tough shit. It's even more boring to always go to your shitty office job that the rest of us do. If it's boring to play, then play it in a more interesting way. Hendrix never played a song the same way twice, neither did the Dead. Figure it out you pansies
Adam Baker
lmao
Eli Fisher
look up any performance of their hits in 2018. You can tell they're kinda phoning it in at this point.
Ryder Jackson
Why don't they just start improvising and completely changing the arrangement? Here is Hendrix messing up and at :45 plays the same song again, except it is completely different: youtube.com
Jordan Jenkins
Carson Taylor
They kinda do a part during Kids where they break it down a bit but that's it.
Ryder Harris
They say they formed the band around "destroying it as it was happening" but they also say Congratulations wasn't supposed to sabotage their career so idk.
Ryan Myers
>heavily edited to make them imply that
>they never say that
I swear the media’s always been out to twist their words
Bentley Richardson
They just don't play the songs. You're overthinking this.
People do care about their later material. In fact, people will be caring about their later material for decades, while the one summer during which Kids was popular will be fondly remembered, but ultimately it was just another tune for the kids to dance to, and it wasn't what they had planned on making when they got their record deal.

Lincoln Parker
>They just don't play the songs. You're overthinking this.
I'm saying they should play their songs that people like. They are entertainers, that is their point in life. If they don't like it, they can join the rest of us in our shitty jobs
Samuel Edwards
>If they don't like it, they can join the rest of us in our shitty jobs
or they can just keep doing what they've been doing lmao
Gabriel Jenkins
What are you, some kind of art nazi? Nobody has to do anything the way you want them to do it, especially not artists, and thank fuck you don't get to tell people what to do, because you'd clearly be the fucking worst at it.
Easton Sullivan

They're kinda sorta just doing it...
Ryan Jenkins
>this is your average poptimism normie
Thank you for dumbing down music
Logan Rogers
>that stock footage of normies getting excited at a bar
Based
Ryder Morris
>muh artistic integrity
>boohoo, i made a lot of money with a popular song that I am now bored with, but I'm also sad that nobody is coming to see me anymore
I bet you also get sad when artists commit suicide for being sad - despite having access to the best psych help and rehab centers in the world.
Robert Cruz
Nobody has to do what I say, no. But I'm just going to laugh at people who decide to stop doing what made them popular, and then complain that nobody cares about them anymore.
Colton Gomez
>and then complain that nobody cares about them anymore
For sure they'll be on their death beds wishing they had played Kids a few more times
