MGMT has has 'a terrible 2k10' after their hit album Congratulations 'flopped' both critically and commercially. They basically 'effed up royally' and now no1 likes them and their record label is gonna put them on a tight leash to try to make up some of their investment. Doesn't help when ur playing a gig, and people are so bored that they pee in bottles

MGMT's drummer Will Berman walked off stage during a gig in Manchester after he was hit with a glass full of urine.
The musician refused to come back even when his bandmates Andrew VanWyngarden and Benjamin Goldwasser pleaded with him to come back.
Berman was soaked when the glass, hurled on stage by a fan, hit him in the chest, reports Ace Showbiz.

I remember one time a bunch of birds shat on the Kings of Leon and the newsbit meme went viral, allowing blogs to write to snarky headlines that said "poopy musicians got poop in their moufs." [link] Wonder if 'human excrement memes' will still go viral, or if it is unchill when pooping and peeing are done by humans and flung at buzzbands.

Did MGMT deserve this treatment?
Have u ever thrown pee or poop at MGMT / any other buzzband?
Did MGMT throw pee and poop at us when they released Congratulations?

The group, who play as a five-piece live, were halfway through an extended jam of the track The Handshake when Berman stormed off.
The band only noticed as they started playing their hit Kids and were forced to ask the crowd: 'Where's Will gone?'
They were forced to play the last song of their set, Congratulations, without percussion.

Cmon bro. Be a professional. This is show biz. People are gonna throw batteries, rotten fruit, and human excrement at you. U gotta play thru it, bro.

Anyways, seems like MGMT's career is falling apart and their record label is gonna be like, "Nope. Not gonna let u release that consumer-unfriendly shit again. We're going to put u in the studio, and ur gonna write 10 "KIDS.mp3s." Your band + ur art is our property and we will get what we want out of u.

The album -- released in April this year -- omitted the type of big hits that could be found on their previous album, 'Oracular Spectacular,' and as such hasn't sold quite so well.

And now the band have revealed their label bosses are likely to have more control over the making of their next album.

Frontman Andrew VanWyngarden said: "I definitely think our music will change in the future because 'Congratulations' is almost two years old now. We have some ideas and have been talking about possible directions of where to go next. We are just in much more positive mental states than when we wrote 'Congratulations.'

"We're less anxious. We've been looking at relationships with the label during the recording process and it's quite different this time. They'll be more involved and not give us as much freedom."

Will MGMT 'recover' and win over indie hearts again?
Will MGMT go 'mainstream'?
Will MGMT's label 'save' their career?
Do u ever pee in bottles/water balloons and throw them at subpar buzzbands?
Did MGMT deserve to be peed on?
Does urine help ur skin?
Will u ever forgive MGMT?
Are buzzbands 'humans' who deserve to be treated with respect, or are they products we can violently discard when we are done with them?
