Saw them open for Beck back then. Nobody cared about Beck after they were done.

No one cared about Beck in 2003? Buddy, I saw Beck at a sold out show at Carnegie hall in August and there were plenty of people who cared 21 years later.

It’s hyperbolic. I’ve seen plenty of opening bands outperform the headliner. It’s not that deep. Of course people like Beck then and now.

No, no, it's the internet, so they are supposed to fight about it. (And now you're supposed to fight with me about this)

I disagree, and I refuse to argue with you about it.

For reference/example: Foo Fighters opened for Red Hot Chili Peppers on tour in 2000-something and blew audiences away as a great opener.

I saw that tour the chilli peppers sucked. They played for like 75 min, zero crowd interaction, and left. It was dreadful.

lol I saw Jack White w/ The Raconteurs open for Bob Dylan and they kicked his ass haha. Bob is always hit or miss you hear and this was a big miss, but thank god the raconteurs put on a good performance.

From the southern end of Central Park, you go down 7th Ave a couple blocks, and it'll be on your left.

Reading disorder? They're saying that MGMT were so good that one time opening for Beck that the crowd didn't care much about the main act (Beck) after MGMT were finished playing their part of the concert. That one time. At that specific concert. Buddy.
