Damian & Tim met JC from N'Sync in the bathroom today and got his advice on performing at the VMAs. It's pretty hilarious. Pass it around.

OK GO get VMA advice from JC Chasez... in the crapper
40 Comments:
Loved JC. That was fun. You should let him be a guest band member! I used to meet all kinds of people in the johns at clubs - the Pandoras, the Bangles, Joan Jett, the Go Go's - okay so my age is showing! Maybe you could do your next video in the crapper and incorporate well timed flushes or something... ^_^
Just wanted to let you know that you have a bad link on your YouTube groups page. It starts with "OKGo can be found here: and then you list your YouTube page, your MySpace page and then your blog page. Your blog's link has some extra characters at the end.
Love your music and I love your YouTube vids. Keep up the great work :)
Flawless!!!! Simply gorgeous! Yowzah, my heart was racin' for yahs! That was perfect....
(And what's up with JC saying his "bye bye bye" moves are harder then doing a choreographed dance on 8 treadmills? HA! Seriously...JC, Most ppl can't even work out on ONE of those things with out breaking a limb.)
ANYways, that performance was like watching my Saviour decend from heaven! WOW!
Fantastical....

keep rockin guys............and since everyone else is begging you to otur through their city.................come to geensboro, NC..........i'd take a day off for that!!!!!!!!! loves always!!!!
i watched the VMA's to see the dance. i was really nervous for you guys, because that's a hard dance to pull off. haha you guys were awesome, and i'm so amazed/ecstatic at how far you guys have come! i've listened to you guys for awhile, since the first andy, since the first 2 OKGo cd's with only 3 songs, since forEVER. it's just so exciting. ok. enough of my creepy fan-crazyness.

i just watched your thing on the vma's and felt compelled to find a place where I could voice to you...no self-respecting band would do that shit.
If youre not going to play your music dont be a band.
Hey guys! I watched the VMAs just for you and you guys were awesome! I absolutely loved it...prefect and flawless! =D Thanks for giving us a "behind the scenes look" into the men's bathroom with this interview! Only the best for us fans, eh? =]
ignore the idiot above me, he doesn't know what he's saying. You guys did an amazing job! (:
just like the letterman show i loved loved loved it times a million so awesome!!! gotta love the dances i was so happy when you finallllyyyyy finished and i can tell you were too
ok and for the A-HOLE above if youre not going to say anything nice about okgo dont comment them!!! no one cares!!!! he obviously has no good taste in music! you guys kicked major bum!!!
ok that guy is sooooo hating you know why? because he wishes he could dance on treadmills in fashionable suits like you by the way are they new? they look new but anywho they are soooo AWESOME!!!!
Please come to Indiana! You are AMAZING!!! Plus I am so thrilled for you guys. You didnt mess up once! Congratz
You guys were fantastic! Whoever signed you at Capitol must be [bleep]ing in his pants right now. Love you guys!
Here they are in all their live treadmilling glory!

I have been a fan for a long time (small venue Lawrence Kansas!! woot!) and I just have to say it was AWESOME seeing you perform on the VMA's last night. You guys deserve that and MORE!
I am looking forward to the OKGO world domination tour.
Congrats and keep making that sweet sweet music.
the VMA performance was great, and you could tell at the end you guys were happy you nailed it.
Your music is amazing, and the VMA performance was outstanding! I said aloud to my husband, "Are they doing the treadmills?! OHMYGOD THEY ARE!" I had goosebumps the whole time.
you guys rock. especially the singer.. he is really funny :-)
rock on!
Hey Guys!
YOu were frickin amazing at the VMAs! It was the highlight of my day, which isn't saying much because during the rest of it i was getting surgery.. Anyway I didn't see you mess up at all but then again i was kinda whacked out on painkillers. I even risked watching the VMAs with my parents to see you guys! I've loved you since A Million Ways and i bought your album full price on itunes! Good luck taking over the world i have been voting for you on VH1. Please Come to Charlotte NC! I finally wore down Panic!and Jack's Mannequin!
I'm kind of upset that Ok Go is now attracting mainstream fans (i'm really not into nelly and jt so much. by so much i mean at all) and I just want to give a virtual pat on the back to the real fans that have been ok go-ing since the first EP. You guys are the ones responsible for making last night happen at all.
As for the band, the ONLY reason I was watching the VMA's was because of you. Totally nailed it! My sister thought that the aerial shots kind of took away from the dance as a whole but I was like, "Who gives a damn?!??! They're freaking on fire!!!!!"
WAY TO GO GUYS!!! LOVE YOU TO DEATH!
I LOVED your performance on VMA´s!
It was amazing!
Love you guys and your songs.
When are you going tour in BRAZIL????????
Please, come soon!!!!!!!
Damian...that leap into the air you made as you all got off your respective tradmills kind of summed up the feeling I think we all got, loyal fans and new ones alike-- exhilirating!! You all did such an awesome, awesome job! Love your music. Now that mainstream America has discovered you, hope you stay true to your it. We love ya!

i watched the vma's just for you guys.
you were wonderful!
i think you guys are my new favorite. :]
um, yeah. only good part about the vmas. you guys are awesome. keep tread-milling and such.
The treadmill dance continues to wow me every time I see it. Truly innovative, and one of the few genuine things I saw on the VMAs. I take my hat off to you for being able to do it live and to Trish for coming up with all those awesome moves.
Also, I LOVE the new suits. You boys really clean up good! I mean, you've always been hotties, but the paisley clashing things have been wearing a little thin lately, and -- no offense -- they have a slight tendency to emphasize your nerdy side. All duded up, you are four hot little biscuits. Mmmm-mmm-mmm, with molasses, too.
Thanks for staying true to it, and come back to Michigan soon. Love ya's.
MAN i think i'm in love
:~~~~~~~~~~~

<3 ri
That. was. perfect. You pulled off the dance perfectly, Damian didn't even almost fall at the beggining of the second verse. I loved though, that you could literally feel how nervous you all were, extremely cute! You truly need to come to Canada. Right now. I know you have bad experience because of the whole snow tires thing, but it's worth it, I swear. Love you boys, congrats on the great performance!
ILHUAWKEFJNSD YAY.
i noticed some of the same things, damian didnt lose his balance on the VMAs, but i liked it, it gave it character.
anyway, and i loved damians leap of joy after it was done. absolutely perfectly cute.
i was on itunes, and i saw a familiar picture on the home page.
CONGRATS ON BEING A FEATURED VIDEO!!! YAAYY
and congrats on getting HELLA famous now!! im proud. and i can brag that i loved you guys before you got really really popular. which your absolutely deserve.
YAY!!
CONGRATS!
:) LOVENICOLE!!
Very nice performance, and I love yo guys music, but I have something to ask that will probably be laughed and ridiculed at and pretty much thrown away without a single bloody care in the wind. I know you guys get a lot of requests and for a private show a person would have 2 pay like a trillion dollars in cash money, but....um..... I was wondering... could you even the slightest chance play at my sister's sweet sixteen? Ah darn I feel like an idiot sayin that, but she really really liked you guys even before u waz popular, and I don't really get to do much for her, and she doesn't get to many thrills here in the NY suburbs. Plus, all she has been talkin about is how cool it would be for okgo to play at her party, and her friends really like to dance, particularly to your music. Man my parents are gonna hire a DJ! A DJ DARN IT! IF NOT FOR ME FOR THE MUSIC MAN! Yeah I'm not expecting a yes, because of short notice, lack of importance, no pay, but the place is pretty cool. I just wanna do something really cool for her, you know? She doesn't know I'm writing this, she'd probably laugh. So e-mail your no to me, if you want, just so i know, at Autofreak112@aol.com
Oh and if I get one e-mail from another blogger, I'll just block you and send you spam. On a nicer note, I look forward to the already known answer reply if I get one. Until then.
P.S.- Yes I'm aware of the huge favor I'm asking of someone I don't know personally, no I'm not crazy. Think of it as a publicity stunt, if you wanna look at the positives.
P.S.S. Yes this is still from me, if you're actually gonna tell me no or the unreal dreamed yes, please tell me before the end of september. I don't expect it though, so no problem.
Wow I am such a dork.
Don't you laugh at me other bloggers I'm just trying to give a large... birthday present if you will... to my deserving family member.
CONGRATS ON BEING TOP VIDEO ON ITUNES!!!!
YAYAYAYAYAYAYAYAY
:) LOVENICOLE.
you're just great.
you should come to brazil some day.
Ok - I don't watch the VMAs, but I watch Colbert and I saw you and ohmygod. I asked my teen if she knew the band okgo and she said "no" and I said, "the treadmill video on you tube?" and she said, "Oh yeah! Those guys are cool!" Ha! We're totally buying your CD.
wish ya all here in Thailand,
Really waiting for,
Don't know why I left this damn comment though I know ya all might not give a damn for, maybe, this little asia country like Siam..
But if you were here, ya will know why...
You have to...
Sa-was-dee ja!!
and this video is enjoy!
you guys are doin' okay there?
My job involves working in an office sitting in front of a computer doing administrative ass things all day. It SUCKS. It is a NIGHTMARE. However, internet videos such as this one make the day ever so much more pleasant. It's like a breath of fresh air.
Keep rockin' OK Go (and you keep rockin' too JC, whatever it is you are doing these days post-NSync and post-songs like "Some girls dance with women").
Brilliant...bloody brilliant...
Incidentally, does anyone know when the new album is being released in Aus?
I cannot wait another minute.
Go OK go, yer bloody great shit ya doing. Come to Australia! Love the Treadmill thing that was awesome as... classic
