[@ZuzuTheLemon]

This IS my favourite youtube channel!

[@Blakjade]

You are my favorite KZbin channel. I love your insight on everything.

[@intertubicular]

I will check into more of Mc.gee. I had never heard of him before until this video. Thanks for sharing, Justin.

[@milkjug24]

Justin, you're the man

[@lesliehutchins326]

JEEZUZ! This is amazing and exciting! I’ll be following this guy.Uniquely mesmerizing song.You’ve done it again Justin!👍😻💕🎄Merry Christmas 🎄

[@cindi1313]

Wow, this was gorgeous. I love to hear someone with so much talent who doesn’t seem to feel the need to prove how talented they are. It’s just about the song. Thanks for this one.

[@wickamahn1852]

Tops. Lovely heads up, Mk.gee and me toniight!

[@sandrahaight7278]

Wow! A special talent. Gorgeous. Thank you very much Justin

[@ledad632]

His voice and guitar style are very atmospheric and beautiful. Definitely going follow this fabulous musician from Jersey ♥️

Damn you Hawkins! Already introduced me to Crawlers and Ren and now I need to deep dive into this guy. What a strange and wonderful power you have.

[@sues6944]

Cool opening theme/intro ramble. Merry Christmas! 🎄🎅🎸

[@matnids5497]

Mk.gee is magic

[@frankowalker4662]

Loved the opening theme. 🎅Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year everyone🎅

[@cecilcharlesofficial]

I just learned about MkGee a couple weeks ago. Excited to see where he goes. Enthralling melodies, very impressive guitar work - just hope he keeps the overall sound/song stye varied enough (there’s the rub, isn’t it?)

[@Rocksarum]

Beautiful song!❤

[@kimberlycoberly6987]

Love you Justin!

[@spikerjedi]

RIP Casey Chaos 😥😥😥

[@m1k3br4v0]

Loved the Flamenco groove of the theme! We lost him a decade ago, but would love to hear you react to a Paco De Lucia performance. I realize this probably doesn't fit into the 'model' of the channel, but it would be cool to hear your thoughts on the artist. Thought it would interesting to hear your opinion in the context of 'great' guitarists. Thanks for the cool content. ( This is a nice one .. Mi Nino Curro, from a live performance in Sevilla - kzbin.info/www/bejne/bKjblYmLoaxpfbc )

[@mirapiccolo6601]

Beautiful song....he is very talented and sounds remember me Mike and The Mech......love this channel!!

[@HeatFreaks]

We deserve a full "Justin Hawkins Rides Again" song. Saw you front row in Atlanta, Tabernacle 2004. Sang your praises since, what a show, thanks for everything, now jog on 😉

[@steveanderson9242]

Your looking youthful for 49 Justin!! Have seen THe Darkness live twice. Always a great gig!!

[@Eileen-l2h]

Very cool is Mr. mk.ee. Appears he is from southern New Jersey as is Patti Smith. Something def in the air down there. 🖤

[@embryomartin9210]

It sounds like Andy Summers from The Police!! 🙌🏻🎸😎

[@BadBoyBehr]

Some of these youngsters are tapping into Joni Mitchell’s later period. There’s a lot of inspiration there in the playing and composition.

[@hoofjam]

Your intro on the nylon strings sounds sick!

[@Erika-tv7im]

Happy holidays

[@oddunb6190]

Apparently he plays into a 4-track which he uses as a pre-amp.

[@georgepilgrem]

Lemon Twigs are from Hicksville same place as Billy Joel - Long Island!

[@mefarri]

The intro song/riff was nice. I like the meandering.

[@andrewlowe3029]

John Martyn's guitar with Terry Reid's vocals

[@petelewisNZ]

Each to their own

[@Rocksarum]

01:07 Olé!💃

[@catherineshepherd7752]

Gosh I kove this song

[@74griffo]

The track ROCKMAN is very reminiscent of The Police and I can’t get enough of it

[@Mister_Jahn]

Makes me miss Michael Hedges, who said nice things about my guitar playing once... May 'alien guitar" playing be the idiomatic direction music takes to differentiate human idiosyncracy from ai regurgitation.

[@ShiningHourPop]

I prefer Stephen Wilson Jr. phenomenal voice in a country grunge style. Father’s Son is one of my favourite songs I’ve discovered this year.

[@HalfFlat832]

It’s definitely A KZbin channel

[@tezzo55]

And lyrically - you have GOT to be joking! Are you guys practicing for April the first? Cheeses miced!

[@professoryaffle]

Straight away I thought of Bon Iver.

[@arnewoodman]

Fun to see you get all Tim Henson on your intro tune!

[@summerdragonfly]

💛👍🏻

[@pablo_porro]

It’s long old now but I’d love to know what you think of Soft Hair

[@mrslaughterville4523]

💓

[@tezzo55]

I love Joni Mitchell too. Meanwhile - is anyone listening to Berried Alive or Ichika Nito, or Afonk? I must live in an alternative reality where time is travling in the opposite direction! This is NICE enough, I guess.

[@bennunes967]

Do Dijon next! Mk.gee is his guitar player too

[@jensdobernecker609]

Hi Justin, a bit off topic....dont miss Sophie Lloyd shredding don't let the bells end!

[@damichoo]

Reminds me of Forever Young by Alphaville for some reason.

[@LBv666]

His live version of Candy is electric

[@Crashed2023]

Just forgot 77 like it never happened!

[@ianclark307]

That video gave me motion sickness

[@cecilcharlesofficial]

it is a baritone Fender right? Or did I always assume so and he’s doing octave modulation pedals?

[@cecilcharlesofficial]

Listen to Alesis Live also, and I think he’s on a train (Candy Live also filmed there) - not sure how he’s got wind in his hair and no air noise on his vocals… ai noise reduction?

[@LunarProxy123]

it is a normal fender (or like a old retool) but with baritone strings

[@derekcartner4826]

I'd like to see more, because I felt this sounded a bit washy and not really involved. Thanks for the introduction though

[@Matt-vo1ge]

Dirt Miller Kansas City

[@jayabee]

I do get the Peter Gabriel vibe.

[@Tognar]

Vocally. I am hearing somebody that grew up in the John Mayer and Justin Bieber era too. No shade.

[@aaronstagg4506]

Justin love your channel I'm here for a reason and that reason is I've been here from the start and the Darkness rule. Here's a track for you to check out: PALLBEARER "Where the Light fades" These guys are awesome 👌 would love to hear your thoughts? Have a great christmas & New Year 👌🤘

[@kevinbatchelor9566]

Fender Jaguar?

[@yoshuadavid]

Mk.gee is soaring to the stratosphere. Quite mesmerizing guitar sound. And for the record, believe he pronounces it like the letter 'G' vs like 'ghee' :)

[@johnnyyuma5747]

always nice watching you justin but i have to ask why you feature this techninal guitar hero with a generic vocal range when you havent covered great unkonwns such as josua quimby or martin purvis

[@kevinbatchelor9566]

Is it possible that you said Bruce String Bean on accident? Either way, that's what I am referring to the boss ass from now on.

[@PamK36]

Nope. He always calls him that.

[@russellzauner]

someone's been listening to Jon Gomm lol

[@russellzauner]

also why over the past several years are lap steel/steel pedal making its way into a LOT of new music? Up to and including a lot of neo "country" releases from people like Beyonce and others you'd never expect it from (not that's it's bad/good, just unexpected).

[@MeMe-hp3hl]

I'm into it but I'd hardly say he's any kind of guitar virtuoso at this point. The stripped down no base no drums underproduced product makes is why it sounds otherworldly. It's as if the full transmission didn't get through. It's unfinished. So yeah, neat idea, I'm into it, the second coming of Prince? Uh no. Lyrics aren't blowing me away. Are you looking for someone to put out your fire? Uh, you mean to get snuffed out? It's not great.

[@Yosser70]

How is that live? Where’s his mic that picks his voice up regardless of which way he’s facing but not the wind noise 🤷🏻‍♂️ Anyway, proper snooze fest for me, technical ability doesn’t equal good music.

[@DorsetDeercam]

I don’t get it, it just sounds like Prince but a bit more boring to me? I play the guitar and it’s not blowing my mind.

[@otisheckles6249]

Very tasty but he ain't no Allan Holdsworth!

[@raquelsnt]

Of course, this is our favourite KZbin Channel! And i love to see you creating a melody with flamenco reminiscences, everytime you do it better! You've got the flow! I support the comments about to you cover some stuff about flamenco. It would be something strange to see here, that is true. But there are a lot of music where flamenco and rock are merged, and it's very interesting stuff. I would love to you listen a woman from Seville, she is new, and she is not famous...her name is Graci Rodriguez. She does a very interesting stuff that you should listen. Well, Merry Christmas to you and Desirée, i hope you cover her new songs here too 😊. We love u! ❤ kzbin.info/www/bejne/hn2mYoSLfK2tpZIsi=MgxjyFR_6cS8KV7L

[@BrayJones3]

The popworld has been guitarless for over a decade other than arctic monkeys am in 2013 and hoziers 1st album our generation only had crappy 1975 who sound like girls, respectfully this mk gee comes across another privileged industry plant like Bieber and eilish.

[@cjhoop2tpfan841]

Terrible take

[@math001]

Man it's fine if you don't get it but what's up with calling everyone an industry plant these days? Just a new trend kids got into?

[@charles9487]

“Industry plant” is such a mundane, meaningless identifier. Almost every artist to ever make it to a chart has been pushed and marketed by a label in some way. It really has no bearing on whether or not they are talented or original.

[@anetakibanaki6350]

What's it with throwing some shades on girls? There are some mean female guitar players out there.
