[@blademan6075]

I know by your comment that you are very familiar with the King family history in music and especially guitar work. You’re correct, Marcus played back up rhythm guitar many a night for his dad and granddad and all it did for him was make him better and to learn to give space to anyone playing alongside of him. Case and point, watch him play along side of Warren Haynes. He is respectful of the old school masters and helps them sound even better but when it’s time for his lead play he doesn’t try to upstage what Warren just played unless Warren gives him the nod that it’s okay to rip! The other guitar player that used just as much respect when playing along side of the masters was Stevie Ray Vaughan when playing with the likes of Buddy Guy and Albert King. Though he could have melted the stage he chose not to every time. It’s just humbling to watch that kind of respect. Derek Trucks is another respectful player when he is playing with the masters and he has played with just about all of them. It’s good to read your comment and know you understand.

Mayer could never play or sing like this.

[@paullevine1813]

@@Mrmustard1380 Thank you for saying what i wanted to. Not on his best day could he come close to Marcus.

[@DirtCityMTB]

@@Mrmustard1380 That's just not true at all. Mayer is a phenomenal guitar player.

As a north GA upper SC native so proud. Lived in Greenville when I was a kid. I'm at 15:52 and melted in my seat send help. this band fucking kills

Yesterday I was so saddened by the passing of one of the godfathers of Southern rock Mr. Charlie Daniels. I am seeing this for the first time and my sadness has turned to pure and absolute elation. Southern rock is now the powerhouse genre of music in America and hopefully will be for a very long time. I consider myself to be truly blessed to be alive to witness this new generation of Southern musicians and Southern music. The south has done it again and may they rock on forever . God Bless and preserve the sound of the South. Amor y Paz.

Probably one of my new favorites, Him, Greta Van Fleet, and Billy Strings are bringing guitar back into the spot light, in a familiar but fresh way and I'm proud to be of the same generation.

[@amadan9999]

Was flicking through FB and someone mentioned that this guy played Dublin (Ireland) and they were suitably impressed. So, here i am checking him out on KZbin and WOW he is something else. Absolutely fantastic

[@georgemikodesigns]

you can immediately see he knows music inside and out! 4th generation of talent!

[@leonieraven7479]

New Zealand reporting in : I too am completely down the rabbit hole with Marcus and the band. Love the bassist so much. Marcus is so so so 🔥 slick LOVE HIM

[@brianm9053]

I second that. The bassist plays some very cool stuff...adds so much to the overall groove and sound.

[@sisco_rl7160]

14:45 to 17:10…I had chill bumps over my whole body by the end. What an epic solo.

best version of my favorite song

[@valluno775]

It's fuc.......awesomeeeeeee!!!!!!! Bro

[@jaylair6366]

Overwhelmingly great! Marcus King, a voice like Otis Redding/Janis Joplin and guitar playing... how to even say? So goddamn good!

[@nickthinkpainting1978]

Thanks KZbin turning me on to this great band. Could listen all day ..

[@Dezenaamisnietbeschikbaar]

When the drummer is wearing pit viper sunglasses you know it's gonna be good

[@lancefraijo8585]

thats what I was thinking. I love the music.

[@elizadolots11]

Damn! An old soul right here! I absolutely adore Marcus and his band!

[@lp1082]

Can’t explain how they can be so incredibly good that I prefer them live then on records... hats off to MKB

[@DaisyMaybee1723]

What a beautiful human. So glad I found him on KZbin. 🎉

[@robpratt6126]

I've only just discovered Marcus King. Bloody hell he's good. The band is incredible too.

[@spencerbradley2610]

He had a show in my city last weekend, and I'll tell ya this dude leaves it all up on the stage. An absolutely insane guitarist with roaring vocals. Performed for 2 and a half hours!

[@hpolastrini]

I've heard those guys last week, for the first time. They're already one of my favorites.

[@Mathstrade]

57:46 mins of pure musical pleasure this Guy and his band are quite something so nice to listen to actual great music not like so much of whats out these days

[@dcacoustic]

I listen to / watch a lot of guitarists on KZbin. I have only seen one other that I don’t believe is playing an instrument but rather channeling pure soul and emotion through the strings and that is Jeff Beck. Not musicians, something other worldly and to be deeply cherished. Was lucky enough to see MKB in Sydney in 2019 - one of the best live gigs I’ve ever been to. The guy is special.

[@Babecca]

He and Billy String play well together. Same age and play like they’ve been playing for 50 years.

[@CraigNewellShow]

I watched this video so many times from beginning to end. MARCUS IS A ROCK GOD TO ME!

[@SteveJones379]

Wonderful to see young men carrying the torch!

[@tedium37]

No weaknesses in his skills. Complete entertainer. Saving this right onto a playlist.

[@guillelyn]

[@BiologiaemSennaTV]

This guys is so good that his new songs sound like classics! Literally a King of the Blues ! Long Life to this new KIng!
