    No, it would be the first time, I just discovered their music this spring, so I was soooo happy to see they are doing a gig in Munich 6 months later. :boing:

     

    But I have watched lots of vids on UTube and the live stream from Brussels was great. Oh, there also is an video of an old gig in Paris, on Arte. They perform Metanoia there. Amazing. I'll try to find & post the link here.

     

    EDIT: Here's the link! Enjoy: http://www.arte.tv/fr/Videos-sur-ARTE-TV/2151166,CmC=2316348.html

     

    Anyways, I hope to get a good place in the audience, but I don't think I'll ever get as good look on Andrew's face live as watching those vids. :teehee:

     

    Wow, very nice link.:wub2: Thanks!

     

    Could it be that Andrew is like that because he's a Southern guy? You know, the pple from the Southern States are relaxed and "soft" on the outside like that and they take their time for things. But they can also get really emotional if something is important to them. I like that a lot if someone's cool on the surface and hot inside.

     

    Really, you love him? It has never ever crossed my mind till now! :mf_rosetinted: I like Ben a lot too! Always have the feeling I could feel at ease with him but not so much with Andrew, so I can't decide who I like more. They are so different, I can't really compare them. But in his own way Ben is as charming as Andrew.

     

     

    Btw. do MGMT have any live DVDs? I haven't found any so far. :dunno:

     

    And do they have merch at concerts? I would love a MGMT T-shirt!

     

    And if some of you still want to watch that live stream gig from Brussels - here's a link to the thread on the forum where some pple are working on a upload: http://mgmtforum.com/index.php?topic=7579.0

     

    They have got very nice merch. I got the white tour shirt, but they also have black ones with the animal (is it a cat?) from the album art work and a lot of other nice shirts. They also have a very nice bag. All shirts are €20.

    Oh, thank you so much!

     

    I hope we don't have to queue too - hate it, especially in winter!

    I would love to hear those songs live - really hope they'll play them.

     

    About being shy: Andrew said in an interview they aren't the natural born performers, they prefer recording much more to performing and added: "Ben never talks on stage". To which Ben said: "No" & and looked very embarrassed. :roftl: Funny, if you compare them to Mika, then he's not shy AT ALL! Or perhaps they are shy on stage (as I would be) and not shy in the real life? Anyway that's why some of us here are afraid that sooner or later they'll stop performing and switch to producing only. I pray to God they continue performing till they look like Methusalix. :teehee:

     

    I hope so too, queuing in the winter is no fun at all.

    Maybe they'll keep about the same setlist when they see it works for them and the crowd too...

     

    Haha, well Ben didn't say a lot indeed. Only 'thanks' or something. :aah:

    Oh, I really hope they don't stop performing and become like The Beatles, who couldn't play their songs live because they were too complicated.

     

    Have you seen them live before, or is this going to be the first time (like me)?

    Tell us something about the gig. Did you like it? Which song did impress you most? How was the crowd? How was queueing? You know, the usual stuff. :teehee:

     

    Actually, we didn't queue at all! We could just walk to the front, and we weren't ridiculously early there, so that was quite nice.

    I really liked the gig, they played very well (but otherwise I wouldn't have bought tickets to see them, I always check if the band is good live before I go to see them). They played Siberian Breaks, Indie Rokkers and Destrokk here too, so that was a very nice surprise.:biggrin2: I really liked the new songs live too, especially Siberian Breaks and Congratulations, with which they opened. And The Handshake was also very beautiful.:wub2: The projections on the screen reminded me a bit of the projections of Montreal used, only a bit less extravagant.:naughty: The crowd was a bit boring, but after a while they got into it (or maybe it was the alcohol :naughty:). But we did a bit of jumping, which is always good. :aah:

    I was really surprised that Andrew has such a high voice when he's talking. I thought he looked very shy..

     

    Full setlist is here.

    :roftl I can believe it! Was it in Amsterdam by any chance?? :mf_rosetinted::naughty:

     

    Yeah, it was :teehee:

     

    Hihi, that's why he said it was the best evening of his life. At least I heard that on Twitter. IF you saw them in Amsterdam. The Amsterdam show must have really been amazing. I mean, they are always amazing, but this one evening must have been WOW. :shocked: And now we know why.... :doh:

     

    Idd. :naughty: Andrew said they loved playing in Amsterdam (most bands do, all because of the same reason :aah:)

     

    And right after that we will drop dead cause it can't get any better and go directly to MGMT heaven. :wub2:

    But we must all be wearing matching sexy black outfits with high heels. :mf_rosetinted:

     

    Yeah, at the live show from Brussels they played Kids and at first I was like: Noooooo, poor guys. But then, Ben came out behind of keyboards :shocked: and went to the first row and ....how do you call that in Englisch? :blink: touched hands with the audience and they both somehow seemed to have fun doing it, although they really can't dance :teehee: so I was...ok....wouldn't have anything against Kids if I were in that first row...

     

    You were at Brussels? Did they also play Indie Rokkers there?

    i think the curls are just slicked back and styled differently. they look good though! he actually looks really good.

     

    however the crotch flap thingy makes me laugh. i always love that he has these great outfits and there is just always that 1 thing that is just so completely random and bizzare. like the feather belt. this time a pinstriped crotch flap!

     

    i knew he was going to wear those louboutins tonight. i just knew it!

    It makes me laugh too, I've never seen anyone wearing anything like it.:roftl:

     

    Btw. we haven't met before, have we? I'm Iris.

    MIKAAAAAAAAAAAAAA:wub2: *sorry I'm in the MIKAZONE again :naughty:

     

    :shocked: He cut his curlz!!!!!!!!! :boxed: now I'm f*cking sad...

    I thought that he would cut them actually. I think he's too idle/vain (??) to go to such an important event with curls hanging over his eyes.

    It has been worse imo. :naughty:
