Who the hell said he was ever a rockstar

[mmrb]

mgk doesnt even deserve the title of rockstar

[DaleTheman-hm]

He's a joke has never been a rockstar

What's the question of people actually wanting to scout and promote musicians with real talent and charisma on stage who make endearing records again. Those people will never die off. They have to be looked for again, however.

Machine Gun Smelly is not a rockstar but a cash cow.

I just realized something. When I heard "being criticized for not having much talent, " I thought to myself that Taylor Swift was also criticized for not having much talent as an singer/artist. I don't like either one, but both of them share one thing in common.

On a serious note, I'm 27 years old, and I still think the rockstar era still lives on (and still has every right to.) As a lot of us know, there are plenty of rockstars out there that are pretty nasty, rude, etc. I'm not gonna name names, but say, for example, Axl Rose, and we all know all he had done back then. Remember when during a Guns N' Roses concert in St. Louis, MO, 1991, Axl Rose dove off the stage into the audience and slapped a guy for simply taking photos of him? And it ended it Rose leaving the show in a hissy fit, resulting in a riot. And since I addressed the subject of smacking, Machine Gun Kelly was imfamously known in his whole musical career (from rap to pop-punk) for talking smack about other artists regardless of genre, from Eminem to Slipknot. And as we know, Eminem and Slipknot have both been around since the late 1990s and both still managed to remain some of the biggest acts in the world to this day in 2024. Simply put, Slipknot and Eminem are doing just fine and dandy without Machiney McWeenie's opinion.

Now as for MGK's razor blade guitar, I don't think it's a sign of the rockstar race dying. As an overall guitar design, it looks pretty sick; it's just MGK's involvement with Schecter regarding the guitar that pretty much made me lose interest.

And, yes, the MGK puns I got from a Stevie T video; that guy's funny!

When you're my age you have seen REAL talent, write their own sins, play actual instruments. The last few decades didn't have a true rock stat❤😊

[jessemartinez]

Heard the name but couldn't name one song

[Jeffbaker-cn]

He’s not in the top 200 of being a rockstar

[ivanterrible]

He's only a moderately better guitar player than Corey Feldman.

I liked Mgk as a rapper. Him trying to rock suck.

[Ferret_Rage]

No, he isn’t a rockstar, or anything in the most part nobody cares about him because he sucks

[shannonhealey]

He is not remotely close to being a musician especially being a rock star

[MisterMydude]

You mean the guy who thinks he looks cool if he smokes on camera and cant sing
