Kilmer on the filming side of things you have given everyone the gift of seeing this project grow for so long and I can't thank you enough. To see how you guys have grown up and continued to fearlessly create inspires me as a man to be better in my own life. Appreciate ya'll.

[@mazyd4091]

Im not gonna lie Mike is probably the most relatable artist ive ever listened to... I seriously dont understand how hes not massively mainstream BUT on the other hand as a listener.. I kindof feel like thats the most beautiful part.

Been on the journey with Mike since A Toast To Tommy days (damn I think I was 20yrs old), Sunday Funday mixtapes, then his debut album These Days. I’m 32 now and witnessing his growth as both an artist and person is truly inspiring. So happy for Mike and his success. Keep it up man!

[@IrelandBoysProductions]

The highs was one of the best Albums of all time, excited for the lows and in-betweens.

[@dylankline]

Wow that was incredible. Got emotional there at the end. Been through my own lows in the past year, so this album is coming at the perfect time. The universe makes no mistakes.

[@seve1992TOS]

[@garagesalegregLIVE]

Big needed this. Thank you always Mike & fam. Been rocking with ya since 2012. Will never forget the day my homie in high school said hey listen to this song & it was one of your very first songs. I truly would be lost without ya Steve. Thanks for music, thanks for vibes, thank you so much for the video here - you help more than you’ll ever know!! Love always big bro 🙌🏼

[@yolover111]

From the song closer, to actually getting this damn far, my goodness mike, kept going and look how far this guy ran. What a journey to watch and continue, thanks for the art.

[@jimmyskoog]

One of the many reasons why I love Mike: *documentary shows everything falling part with those so called friends* Mike: But we’ve been making some heaters out of it, so… Proud of you Mike. 🥲❤

[@Ryan-hm3mw]

Couldn’t have been more ready for this than now. A time in my life with so much change, being completely uprooted from where I was living, a breakup, a fallout with a roommate, losing someone close to me…. through it all I’m thankful, thank you for helping me see the beauty in the lows papa Steve.

[@markmyers6446]

I needed this documentary. I’m going through some lows right now and you spit fire brother. Puts my life into perspective. Gods work

Really moving quotes throughout this whole doc. Extremely excited for the album to drop, congrats to you and the team

[@fFreshMusicAllDay]

Solid documentary Mike and John. Definitely a lot to unpack, you guys went through some stuff this past few years for sure. Had some glimpses of Mike's old rage, glad his spiritual push has helped him develop and be able to handle these situations better. Some real insightful behind the scenes footage of the betrayal Mike had to go through with Foley. Hate to see this situation unfold. Glad you guys can learn from this and push on. Wish your team the best, God bless!

[@jennakavisconti6580]

This is such a good piece of content, thank you Jon & mike. Love the monologues, it truly is the lows that shape us who we are

[@user-dq5kv3qr4h]

posted on the life got crazy doc So crazy looking back on this from just watching the Lows doc. So Glad I'm able to grow up with you. Even though you probably wont see this, I just want to say thank for helping me grow as a person. The highs can never be replaced, but being 1 day away from the Lows I already know we wont be able to replace the lows either. Thank u mike.

Another timeless album and documentary. It just keeps getting better and better everytime. KEEPGOING

[@annacrisci]

This has to be the most well made documentary I have ever seen. Such genuine artistic expression with so much humanity and humility behind is just so impressive. Big week for the local Steves. HUGE week for the long time Steves who got to experience this journey alongside of not only you but Kilmer, Blue, Sace, Marcus, and of course Master Steve.

[@russjackson7417]

Been with you since These Days & Frio were on repeat everyday brother - Ready for the next tour

[@MrCelego007]

The documentary is beyond everything I expected. Heartbreaking to see the part with Foley though! When I ordered some merch and it wasn’t there after like 3/4 months I figured it was just because of the international shipment to the Netherlands, but it all makes sense now. It also feels great to see back parts of the tour. Really took me back to the night in New York. I would have never expected to be able to have a chat with you and take a picture. I will never forget that! Can’t wait to finally hear the album and take it all in. Keep going Mike ✌🏻

[@TheLinder222]

mike. is our legend. thank you.

[@Iron_goddess]

Steve been listening to you since the college humor days, will never forget when the closer album came out and my brother and I were hyped to go buy the cd he's the one who put me on to your music as a kid. Been here for all the waves, every renditon of yourself and music was truly perfect for that point of your life and who you were. I see the growth and evolution in all aspects, what you create is truly appreciated. Its some real shit for those with real eyes. Excited for the lows. Peace&Love to y'all

[@tylerduncan2066]

one of the greatest things ive ever watched. so much knowledge in this

[@jeromelucero95]

I love how he ties in the songs from the ablum in this documentary. The lows has help me thru almost losing my life in my accident. 2023 was intense from me. From being crossed by my close "friends" to my accident. I'm so thankful for this ablum 💯

Thank you for sharing your lows My life this time last year was the beginning of my spiritual growth. You guys have given me a chance to look back at it all. I'm sitting here in my car reflecting shedding tears. Amazing how the universe always guides you in the right direction and leads us where we need to be. Perfect timing 👌🏼Forever grateful for you for y'all and the progress 🙏🏼 ✨

[@CashCrewReport]

Dude I’ve been watching and listening for Ten years I believe and this is the most I’ve ever watched or listened. You getting grounded and in touch with reality and with being a normal dude is why we love you unlike all these Hollywood fuckers

[@ryanrinauro6288]

Watching Mike go through all the backstabbing is truly heartbreaking, man. You can obviously see how pissed he is about it, but the pain behind the anger is the hardest. He had nothing but love and respect for Foley and Johnny, you can tell Mike is just the guy you can call anytime and he’d be there. Heart on the sleeve. But it’s their loss not his. Keep going!!!!

[@5Rodneyterr]

what happened with johnny?

[@zerickcampbell]

@@5Rodneyterr wondering the same thing...?

[@SayNoToCorn]

@@5Rodneyterrit shows at the 34:00 minute mark his convo about it and with Johnny. Essentially Mike helped facilitate johnnys documentary and got paid a bit out of the production companies cut (not out of Johnnys money) and Johnny found out Mike got paid for it and was upset for some reason as if he felt back stabbed or something over it. Crazy part is mike did all that work and spoke to Netflix and Apple on Johnnys behave set up so much for him and Johnny really thought Mike shouldn’t get compensated for it.

[@PedroJVega-mo9uu]

I wanted to express my admiration and appreciation for your work. The documentary offers a fascinating glimpse into your life and creative journey as a talented artist. As a long-time fan of your music, I was thrilled to dive into this behind-the-scenes look at your latest endeavors. One moment that resonated deeply with me was when you reflected on the privilege of feeling alive and passionate about your work. Your acknowledgment of the pressure and challenges that come with pursuing your dreams, coupled with your emphasis on embracing both the highs and lows of life's journey, was truly inspiring. As a fan, I'm grateful for the opportunity to witness your journey and eagerly anticipate experiencing the fruits of your labor through your music. Thank you for sharing your talent and inspiration with the world!
