Behind the Scenes with Machine Gun Kelly | SPIN Cover Story

From working with Travis Barker to collaborating with Halsey to playing Tommy Lee in the 2019 Motley Crue biopic 'The Dirt' and starring in 'The King of Staten Island', MGK has been leaving his mark all over the entertainment world. And we haven't even gotten to the Megan Fox of it all, yet.

Go behind the scenes with SPIN's November 2020 cover star, Machine Gun Kelly, who picked up a guitar to save rock and himself.

“I made Tickets to My Downfall on my own accord, for only for the love of music. At that time, I was completely written off. My agents weren't getting blown up, it wasn't like an exponential time for my career. I approached the album already kind of as a failure, which is what gave it such a genuine angst.”

The following comes from a mission statement that appeared in the inaugural issue of SPIN. It means as much to this current staff as it did to the original writers and editors.

A confession: SPIN is imperfect. It’s rough-edged, restless, insatiably curious. A little aggressive, a little cocky. Youthfully uncompromising, but maturely flexible. Romantic — definitely! Irreverent — sure! Unpredictable — yes. Very alive.
