For anyone wondering who the hell majesty crush were, well that’s the question isn’t it. They should have been famous if it wasn’t for an unfortunate incident…
I recommend watching my documentary on my channel for the complete history of majesty crush!

I have friend who's originally from Windsor, Ontario (right across the border from Detroit). He was friends with Dave and the rest of Majesty Crush back in the day, and introduced me to their music about 20 or so years ago. For years they were this secret amazing band that no one else seemed to know about, but I'm really happy they seem to be getting their due now. Much deserved, and people will better for knowing them.

It would be awesome if you could interview Michael too, his approach to the guitar in MJ was amazing.

[@MartyFisket]

right ,it's all about the formula. Yeah this was such a great interview ! very inspiring. It's nice to see that he loves the melodic aspects of a bassline. When I first came across Majesty Crush a couple years ago I was able to tell.
