I understand what are you saying, but you have to compare the audio quality between FTP and MGMT on stage. THIS VIDEO got HQ because is a professional recording live version. MGMT don't have professional live versions, just concerts and tv shows presentations (as mtv).
I don't know how Mark does it, all that jumping around, dancing, banging on the drum -- and then still has enough breath to sing all those "ooooh ooooh oooooh's" so smoothly without missing a beat! Awesome.
People always comment on the audience, how they dont move, or they're too quiet and what not. 1. Audience is silenced for the video, they're probably loud as hell. Just can't hear them. 2.I've been front row at a Foster the People concert..... it is VERY VEERRRYYY hard to move. Every one scrunched together makes it hard to let the music flow with you and let out the energy, instead, you decide to SOAK IT IN and ENJOY what is happening before your eyes and ears.
This band is going to be huge. Bigger then we think. Bigger then The Beatles, The Rolling Stones, The Beach Boys, etc. I would not be surprised if they sell out the Staples center and the Rose bowl next year. Their music is the beginning of a movement that will define the style of the music industry in the 2010s.
best song from d CD, except 4 d piano solo dis version sounds awesome w d guitar solo in d end, best US band from last year, I hope they getting some grammys soon cuz they deserve it more than lots of pop bands n singers
They remind me of bands along the lines of legends like Pink Floyd Each individual soul and character adds to the overall music. Great performers live.
Their lead guitarist added in the perfect guitar lead for this. It's not on the original recording. If you didn't see him up there you would think it was the Edge from U2 just by listening. Hope they keep that lead bit in their shows. Adds to an already great song.
Lyrics: Call it what you want I said just call it what you want Call it what you want Yeah we're locked up in ideas We like to label everything Well I'm just gonna do here what I gotta do here 'Cause I gotta keep myself free You're ducking and moving just to hide your bruising from all your enemies And I'm in the crossfire dodging bullets from you expectancies We've got nothing to lose You better run and hide Yeah you've crossed the line I've got a knife behind my back (just sayin') We've got nothing to prove Your social guides give you swollen eyes But what I've got can't be bought so you can just Call it what you want, yeah yeah call it what you want Yeah yeah I said just call it what you want, yeah yeah call it what you want You've taken your words and you take your judgments And stick them onto everything If it don't conform to what you were born into, Then you run the other way You say, "now what's your style and who do you listen to?" who cares? Well that rat race ladder-climbing fake-face smile's got nothing on me We've got nothing to lose You better run and hide Yeah you've crossed the line I've got a knife behind my back (just sayin') We've got nothing to prove Your social guides give you swollen eyes But what I've got can't be bought so you can just Call it what you want, yeah yeah call it what you want Yeah yeah I said just call it what you want, yeah yeah call it what you want Call it what you want Call it what you want Call it what you want, yeah yeah call it what you want Yeah yeah I said just call it what you want, yeah yeah call it what you want
Just saw them play live.... I'm a HUGE fan, but had only seen them once before (At Wango Tango)... I straight up pissed my pants when they played this! Mark's voice is MINT!
They are fantastic!!!! I wish to see and hear them live in my country!!! Mark's voice's amazing and this music is a sheer refreshment to the world music scene that's fill with dull and stale sound. Thank you Foster the people for existing! Keep up the good work in 2013 as well. I hope to see you in Serbia one day!
the drumbeat and keyboard and guitars its just so orignial during the chrous but in a good way . . I am glad how foster, mgmt, and the black keys bring the old stuff back and how they combine new stuff with it like electronica or something with it . or how elle goulding combines folk with eletronica then its folktronica
I'm a big Miley Cyrus, One Direction and Justin Bieber fan. But Foster The People is the best band of all time so far! So talented, and i'm not talking just about Mark Foster.. he's great, but the hole band is amazing. Congrats guys.
i absolutely love this band b/c they get SOOO into their music and play it with a definite passion. they love what they do and thats the way it should be.
OMG, AMAZIINNG! you guys should come to South America PLEASE!!! come to Perú, Argentina, Brazil, Chile, Colombia ... to the entire South America, PLEASEE!!! :'D
