Last month MGK's rock album debut at #1 on Billboard's Top 200.
Not the "Rock Chart", or the "Alternative Chart", but the real Top 200
It's probably been years since a guitar based rock band hit #1 on the 200 (and normally that's some dinosaur band, who's best work is decades behind them).
Will kids start liking rock music again, as long as it's not their grandfather's rock?
Quoted from Billy16:Not unless they start making better videos.
He made this one with his current GF, Megan Fox.
He moved in with Megan, so he gets full access to her collection of Pins and video games:
Machine Gun Kelly - Bloody Valentine [Official Video]
Quoted from vid1900:worlds best White rapper
You mean Eminem right?
I had no idea that MGK has switched from rap to rock. Is any of this actually his work, or is he just singing other people’s songs while surrounded by ghost writers? That 1st song definitely had a blink 182, good Charlotte, sum 41, etc vibe to it.
Edit. I think El-P is a better white rapper then MGK also
Quoted from vid1900:Eminem wins for biggest white crybaby in a tracksuit.
Machine Gun Kelly "Rap Devil"
MGK is talented for sure. In my opinion he’s not the best white rapper and I doubt he’ll save rock n roll. Although this is the first time I’ve heard his rock, and it’s catchy.
Quoted from KozMckPinball:Rock's already been saved apparently.
My niece was a big fan of Imagine Dragon for a while there. I thought they had a chance to last.
Greta van Fleet is great.
Quoted from KozMckPinball:Rock's already been saved apparently.
Gretta got up to #36 on the Billboard Top 200, but I've got a feeling it's just old men buying their tracks cuz they sound like a cover of Zep, who was a cover of Muddy
If Gretta was a liquor, they'd advertise it as "3x distilled"

Tool did it just 1 year ago.
Quoted from vid1900:Yes!
But, Tool is a dinosaur band from 30 years ago.
with 10x the talent of this guy
Quoted from Hayfarmer:Plenty of good music bein made. Corey Taylor, Ffdp, met, etc,,,
Corey Taylor is great, but after 30 years in the music biz, he's dinosaur status too. They still play Duality at the strip bar, so he checks that box nicely.
Five Finger Death Punch just tries too hard. Their cover of Bad Company's theme song might be the worst song ever recorded. The whole hook of the song is when just before the chorus the real version hits Eb then F# and finally falls to a low Db and explodes. The cover somehow misses all that and just plods along with out any dynamics. Jimmy Kimmel is right, they should have done "Hey Hey Were the Monkees" if they were going to steal another band's theme song.
MET, I assume you mean the chick band? Kinda weak hookless songs, but they are good looking for sure.
Quoted from ccbiggsoo7:with 10x the talent of this guy
Like my grandfather always said, "Talent is for high school shows. If girls can't strip to your music, you have only made every night a sausage party."
Dream Theater, Rush, Tony McAlpine, Tool, King Crimson; all great dinosaur talents.
Polyphina got 3 girls to attend their concert, but they had to let them in free:
Polyphia - Champagne
Quoted from Azmodeus:He's got Megan fox and good pinball. Lucky fellow...
You know when he was a little kid he cranked off to Megan and Kate Beckinsale constantly.
I'd bet anything the night he first went home with Kate he asked "Hey, you still got that rubber suit ?"
Underworld- Awakening - Kate Beckinsale As Selene Guns In Hands-720x405 (resized).jpgI’ll be interested to see what else comes out of this band. I really like Stone Temple Pilots and Velvet Revolver.
They seem to capture that vibe with this track, which is the only one I’ve heard so far.
List of band members via the internet (not my descriptions)
Noah Weiland, son of Stone Temple Pilots/Velvet Revolver singer Scott Weiland (vocals)
Tye Trujillo, son of Metallica’s Robert Trujillo, who you may remember from when he toured with Korn in 2017, at the ripe old age of twelve (bass)
London Hudson, son of Guns N’ Roses guitarist Slash (drums)
Niko Tsangaris, whose father I think (but cannot seem to confirm) does or used to co-manage Slash and/or Velvet Revolver (guitar)
The band that’s bringing rock music back to the mainstream is Bring Me the Horizon. Big all around the world ...
They just released a new EP ... got some real bangers on it. Like this one.
Also a great duet with the Evanescence singer.

This just makes me think they’re a manufactured sound put together by record executives. With that kind of pedigree they’re obviously not a garage band that started from nothing.
If that’s the case then I further think that he will not save rock n roll.
I think the better question is "how many hot and famous women will machine gun kelly end up sleeping with? "

Kate B is 47 now. I wouldn't think she was an "A" game anymore,,,, I mean for a rock star. For me, sure!
OMG Vid! Welcome back!!!!!!!! It's so good to see you posting.
Never forget that MGK got booted out of rap by Eminem dissing him so bad. 
Quoted from Wolfmarsh:Never forget that MGK got booted out of rap by Eminem dissing him so bad.
That's how serious his disses are!
... if he disses you, AND points one of his tiny fingers at you, you might get a call from Trick Trick - and you don't want that, trust me, you do not want that.

No A game? I'll pretend you didn't say such a crazy thing.

It could be that Michael Bay gave a young MGK a fetish for women sprayed orange.
Women with English accents are not normally known for having deep tans like in Pearl Harbor
