People who are surprised by MGK'S performance here forget that his roots aren't in rap, it's in punk. He grew up a Blink fan and he found rap later. He merges the two so well because he is a genuine fan of both and it's a sign to any elitist of whatever genre that you shouldn't ever limit yourself. Love what you love.
He's always been like this. He's punk to the bone, he just happens to be a rapper. All his early shows were him littlerally moshing and crowd surfing and him being all around insane and punk as fuck. While rapping.
Came back to this video after his new album. It’s not as heavy as I wanted. But I’ve been waiting for him to step back from rap since he started. He’s always been more punk
Lewis Nicholls The minute you used the phrase butthurt like an eight year old you lost all credibility, besides my comment was two months ago haha, you're way too late to be relevant.
Zac I don't care buddy. but I doubt in that two months you haven't grown up in slightest. Im just saying no one deserves death wished upon them especially when theyve done you no wrong and there just trying to make a better world for them and there familys
If you watch any videos of his shows from when he was younger, youll see he rocks out harder then even most punk frontmen. He is pure punk rock who happens to be a rapper.
Seeing this now in 2021 just makes me realize how true MGK really is to the alternative rock scene. The guy has done and does some huge things from the scene!
exactly! I have to ignore the haters. Eminem did not force him out of rap. Why are people arguing with an album that went number 1 and platinum? MGK is smart! He used the pandemic lock down to his advantage.
Easily the best performance of the night. I hope AP keeps making collaborations between different bands and artists (across genres) for their award shows and concerts alike to come.
Dude is actually a huge fan of rock and metal. He's done songs with SWS, Lizzy Hale, M. Shadows, and he's even stated many times that Blink-182 are one of his favorite bands.
To any consolation, when he performs live, his entourage plays the songs like a band so it's more of a rock vibe than hip hop concert. Also helps to mention dude has a siiiiiiiick ass drummer
I like how Papa Roach really brought the rock mentality to the APMAs, as alot of other bands just play to the crowd’s silence and try to ignore it. He called out the crowd and started a mosh at the end, idk what’s more metal than that 🤣🤘
Imagine being one of these guys and getting asked to play at the APMAs with LEGENDS. That's when you're like "holy shit. Did I make it? is this it?" lol XD
Omg all the singers were perfect and sounded so good. I was especially waiting for Jenna. She literally fucking ruled it damn. And by this was I like the sound of the band. I might listen it later. Can somebody name the last song for me?
Damn... so let me get this straight, you know Tonight Alive, but you don't know Papa Roach? you're either 10 years old or REALLY uninformed about good quality bands (even though Papa Roach lost its touch a long time ago).
I love when bands play some of their early classics during certain performances. To me it shows that they haven't forgot the songs that help make them.
omg this was amazing mgk with papa roach he killed it I loved it and Jenna from tonight alive Damn love her matty Mullins wow this just blew me away I've played this 5 times already loved it great performance from everyone and I absolutely love papa roach mad love to all these guys
I love how everyone in the alternative scene this coming years ago that mgk was gonna do pop punk or something along the lines years later And now he has and everyone is so shock even half his fanbase XD Endless you were an actual fan 😂 I mean if you watch his old interviews it was dead obvious
Jacoby and Papa Roach are the fathers of the modern rock scene. It's so cool to see them extending their stage to others and still rockin' as hard as they were 10 years ago!
My favorite Papa Roach songs are Won't Let up, Gravity, Devil, and Not That Beautiful. At least of modern Papa Roach, the Infest cd will forever be the best
I firmly believe anyone who ever thinks the rock/metal scene needs to watch a clip of P Roach performing Last Resort. Crowd gets eclectic everytime. Even here tbh.
People who are surprised by MGK'S performance here forget that his roots aren't in rap, it's in punk. He grew up a Blink fan and he found rap later. He merges the two so well because he is a genuine fan of both and it's a sign to any elitist of whatever genre that you shouldn't ever limit yourself. Love what you love.
Holy shit MGK screaming and singing and even starts pitting. He's earned my respect.
true, a fucking rapper moshing like he's a hardcore kid.. top class, mad respect to that kid
He's always been like this. He's punk to the bone, he just happens to be a rapper. All his early shows were him littlerally moshing and crowd surfing and him being all around insane and punk as fuck. While rapping.
Came back to this video after his new album. It’s not as heavy as I wanted. But I’ve been waiting for him to step back from rap since he started. He’s always been more punk
❤❤❤ The energy on that stage is insane
Talk about stage chemistry! MGK needs to perform with them again sometime
Hell yeah!
Jack Package someone got butthurt
DaffydThaBest How is that considered butthurt... try making sense you goof baha
Lewis Nicholls The minute you used the phrase butthurt like an eight year old you lost all credibility, besides my comment was two months ago haha, you're way too late to be relevant.
Zac I don't care buddy. but I doubt in that two months you haven't grown up in slightest. Im just saying no one deserves death wished upon them especially when theyve done you no wrong and there just trying to make a better world for them and there familys
holy fuck MGK is just such a great performer. dude can just rock it on any set. wow.
I've seen him three times, and once he had Waka Flocka with him. Shit was fucking nuts.
He's got mad energy... It's mostly the alcohol and weed lol
don't forget about the cocain.
bRyanTheBisSilent doesn't use it tho🤔
DaffydThaBest used to but it was way way way back
Love how MGK goes completely nuts to Last Resort.
We all did back in the day. We were such angry kids. I'm still angry. This song keeps doing it for me.
Who fucking knew MGK and P Roach would sound so good together!? And MGK's scream? I'm in love with this performance!!!
They have a track together on Crooked Teeth, it's called "Sunrise Trailer Park" or something along the lines.
yo mgk might be a rapper, but the dude has the energy and spirit of a rockstar man...
well he was in a punk band growing up. he's pretty in with the whole rock scene
Linkin Park was one of his favorite bands growing up. He was scheduled to go on tour with them shortly before Chester's suicide.
If you watch any videos of his shows from when he was younger, youll see he rocks out harder then even most punk frontmen. He is pure punk rock who happens to be a rapper.
Thats because he IS a rockstar, just happens to know how to rap.
Alternative Vape what punk band was he in?
MGK is the most metal rapper of all time. The dudes energy on stage is awesome and the chemistry with Papa Roach was awesome.
!!!!
@@PrabirTa And Shrooms, LSD, Cocaine if I'm not mistaken. He used to do Heroin also. I think he quit that. And many, many more.
Look up xzibit papa roach wish they did more shows together
Did Tech N9ne cease to exist? No diss to MGK but fr

selina zombie catch up man
Now THIS is a damn awards show.. F*** the MTV VMAs!
yess
Haven't watched VMAs in years, don't miss 'em.
i never seen an award show like this since VMAs 05\06 when the emos ruled the world
Andres Vergara lol AFI in 06 ;)
Nah MTV is better only reason this was good cause they had the one legend kells
Matty: *sings Getting Away With Murder with total conviction*
Matty: *immediately afterward smiles like a goofball and puts up a hand heart*
😂😂😂 True that
Seeing this now in 2021 just makes me realize how true MGK really is to the alternative rock scene. The guy has done and does some huge things from the scene!
2023 now baby seeing this for the 1st time ! awesome performances !!
Most of the negative comments about him comes from people who don't know anything
MGK's dance moves give me life
He looks like he's having a seizure
Best performance of the show.
Papa Roach & MGK are awesome!
preformance of the year in my book so far. amazing energy. even got in the pit at the end hahaha
MGK with Papa Roach was fantastic. He genuinely seemed like he was enjoying himself
all the comments about mgk and now he's releasing a rock album
exactly! I have to ignore the haters. Eminem did not force him out of rap. Why are people arguing with an album that went number 1 and platinum? MGK is smart! He used the pandemic lock down to his advantage.
Holy shit MGK what a performance!
BYORN no shit hahaha how’s the energy
MGK and Papa Roach are awesome!!!!!
this crowd does not understand the beauty that was before them
Best performance of the show TBH
Easily the best performance of the night.
I hope AP keeps making collaborations between different bands and artists (across genres) for their award shows and concerts alike to come.
Maxwaehrens MGK has made Alt Press cover one or two times and he grew up listening to bands like Blink-182. I love him.
Holy fuck I did not know MGK was this good at doing stuff tat was not rap I liked it
Dude is actually a huge fan of rock and metal. He's done songs with SWS, Lizzy Hale, M. Shadows, and he's even stated many times that Blink-182 are one of his favorite bands.
***** Thank you, Thank you Thank you for letting me know all of that
I have listened to sum of his stuff but I am always up for more suggestions of songs to listen to by him or any artist
lace up fam
stereo is awesome one too
Mgk is so talented. He can perform multiple genres successfully, which isn’t easy. Love this collab!
MGK Jamming out with Papa Roach gotta be the best thing I've seen all day. Definitely need to do more songs together
MGK definitely has a good future doing rock and metal mashups
Brent DeVries this comment aged very well
JakeMakeBank yes it did!
Forever marked punk rock album coming out in september
Now 2021 he’s in the front line of every punk artists.
5 years later and he has a great career in pop punk. It’s so good!!
I LAUGHED SO HARD WHEN KELLS CAME IN JUMPING AND SWINGING HIS ARMS LIKE THAT LMAOOOO
He's so hot his hairrrr
His outfit !!!!!!!!!
HE KEPT JUMPING AND THAT TONGUE OHMYFYCKINGGOD
his HAIR NEEDS TO BE LONGER FFS!!!!!
LMAO I LOVE HIM BUT I WAS ALSO LAUGHING😂😂
Everytime i hear "Scars" , it just hit me right in the feels....
I'VE LITERALLY BEEN WAITING FOR ALT PRESS TO UPLOAD THIS OMGGGGG LOOK AT MGK HE LOOKS LIKE A FREAKING WINDMILL😭❤️
Jennifer Robles at least someone said it
Jennifer Robles I’ve showed this to so many people over the years. MGK looks like one of those posers at their first concert, it kills me.
MGK doing Last Resort gave me chills. Wasn't expecting that. wow
Papa Roach with MGK- that literally killed me, still can't get enough, so much energ! Love both of them!
Damn. MGK should start a metal side project yo. He's got the vox for it
To any consolation, when he performs live, his entourage plays the songs like a band so it's more of a rock vibe than hip hop concert. Also helps to mention dude has a siiiiiiiick ass drummer
Doyle Rudolph yea his brother
MGK- EST that's his brother
jp rook is not related to mgk.
bella morte That's his bro as in the family he chose. Not blood related.
Papa Roach + MGK = 🔥🔥🔥
MGK got that arm windmill DOWN. He's a metal kid at heart. lol
We need a studio recording of Last Resort featuring MGK
Might be coming within the next few months...
They really saved the best for last, holy shit. MGK blew everyone outta the water \m/
Papa Roach and MGK might be the best thing I've ever seen, I'd kill to see these tour together!
I like how Papa Roach really brought the rock mentality to the APMAs, as alot of other bands just play to the crowd’s silence and try to ignore it. He called out the crowd and started a mosh at the end, idk what’s more metal than that 🤣🤘
Papa Roach is one of those bands that have stayed true to themselves and fucking rock after all these years!
love how energetic MGK is 🤣💞💞
never seen so much energy on one stage before.. really dope!
Never thought I'd see a show where the people that're featuring with them would actually do better than the band itself.
Papa roach was awesome, Matty was awesome, MGK was awesome! What else can you ask for?
It's the trinity of awesome!!
yup
a better crowd
Revisiting this in November 2023 and people say MGK isn’t a true musician can’t get fucked 👍🏻 man can do it all
Oh my god Jenna's preformance was so good!!
MGK is such a cool guy, I can see why M. Shadows liked him too. That scream tho, holy shit I didn't see that coming!
Imagine being one of these guys and getting asked to play at the APMAs with LEGENDS. That's when you're like "holy shit. Did I make it? is this it?" lol XD
what a legendary performance! wish i had found it sooner!
AND HOLY FUCK MGK KILLED IT as a papa roach feature
If jacoby said mgk is his son, i would believe it , felt like i was watching father and son performing, great performance
IVE BEEN WAITING SO LONG FOR YOU GUYS TO POST THIS THANK YOU
Omg all the singers were perfect and sounded so good. I was especially waiting for Jenna. She literally fucking ruled it damn. And by this was I like the sound of the band. I might listen it later. Can somebody name the last song for me?
Last resort ;)
Damn... so let me get this straight, you know Tonight Alive, but you don't know Papa Roach? you're either 10 years old or REALLY uninformed about good quality bands (even though Papa Roach lost its touch a long time ago).
the one they sang together was called scars
1st song was getting away with murder, 2nd one was scars and 3rd was last resort.
the last song was Last Resort
This is amazing. Love MgK ♥️ and a course papa roach. Reppin’ Vacaville, CA!!
Mgk and Papa Roach killed it! Wow!
I love when bands play some of their early classics during certain performances. To me it shows that they haven't forgot the songs that help make them.
omg this was amazing mgk with papa roach he killed it I loved it and Jenna from tonight alive Damn love her matty Mullins wow this just blew me away I've played this 5 times already loved it great performance from everyone and I absolutely love papa roach mad love to all these guys
Goosebumps Last Resort!!! Teary eyes I used to listen this song with my lost old friend
I love how everyone in the alternative scene this coming years ago that mgk was gonna do pop punk or something along the lines years later
And now he has and everyone is so shock even half his fanbase XD
Endless you were an actual fan 😂
I mean if you watch his old interviews it was dead obvious
Dude. We all gonna admit, Papa Roach has the best hair.
This was such an amazing performance. What made me laugh though is how MGK flopped his arms around
Larissa He's got some long ass arms.
Larissa LOLOL SAMEEE the performance was still good though
he s a Wild Boy
haha yea
Its called hardcore dancing
To all those saying "for a rapper he has engery and spirit" go watch his old lives,u will think he is crazy
OMG papa and ma big boy Kells was awesome im so proud of him. He dreams come true. My lil hero
MGKs hardcore dancing gives me life
The Young Gunner killed it!!!
it MGK lol
it Kells or MGK
he also calls himself going gunner.. you not real bro
+Isaiah Jairam Young Gunner is another stage name.... it's his name on Twitter.
love this version of "till i die" more then the original tbh, love the rock style of it!
amazing performance
Gave me goosebumps damn mgk 🔥🔥
Papa roach and mgk should do a tour together like yess 😍😍😍
MGK can literally do everything!!
that's why I love Kelly so much... this was amazing
That was f'ing awesome! Great chemistry MGK with Papa Roach!
I love MGK with the cover of Last Resort
damn this is dope af!! I just can't imagine watching this live! Ugh what a lucky crowd!!
I hadn't listened to them in forever and and I have no idea why I stopped. I love them.
Matty killed it. Mullins is the man
yezzir!
No he's overrated. Dude sucks at singing.
Jacoby and Papa Roach are the fathers of the modern rock scene. It's so cool to see them extending their stage to others and still rockin' as hard as they were 10 years ago!
I need to listen to papa roach more often. Where have I been man?
I'd rather recommend Broken Home, Dead Cell and Time And Time Again.
Blood Brothers, Life is a bullet , lovehatetragedy , Burn , Still Swingin' , Where did the angels go , To be loved
My favorite Papa Roach songs are Won't Let up, Gravity, Devil, and Not That Beautiful. At least of modern Papa Roach, the Infest cd will forever be the best
Revenge, snakes, I'm done with you
I recommend all of their songs ;)))
Papa roach and mgk sound and look good together
Yeaaaaaah man! That's what I'm talking about! MGK and Papa Roach! Ffffirrreeee!
They are literally my life lol ❤️💙💜
I firmly believe anyone who ever thinks the rock/metal scene needs to watch a clip of P Roach performing Last Resort. Crowd gets eclectic everytime. Even here tbh.
papa roach Matty and mgk OMFG I'm in love
last resort with MGK was an awesome performance as if it was meant to always sound that way
mgk is so perfect like *wipes tear* so perfect (idol)
Tess Manson omg right!
Man Jenna and papa roach need to do a song together it would be amazing!
Matty is awesome. Awesome performance by Jacoby also.
take me back to this night! so fun! can't wait to come back next year!!!!
IVE BEEN WAITING FOR THIS TO BE POSTED THANK YOU OMG
Pretty cool seeing MGK rock out and getting in the mosh. 🤘🤘
yooo this is lit af, i can't stop bopping my head
And after this show Danny Worsnop kidnapped Jacoby Shaddix.
People who haven't seen Memphis may fires new video won't understand lol
xXmon5termattXx yep hahaha
Matt gets arrested instead
Dalton Bennett TRIGGERED IM DEAD LMAO
D. Bennz 💀🤣
I grew up jamming to PR and this was such a dope performance! (:
(Sic) screams there MGK!!!🤘🏼
This was the best performance
Matty's vocals on "Getting Away With Murder" are so great!!!
now that's a performance man
paparoach , GC , dashboard confessional and neckdeep were the best
Surprisingly, MGK had better screams that most metalcore, deathcore, post-hardcore, metal bands in general. I’d like to see what he could really do.
I love MGKs energy in this performance 🔥
everyone love's it one MGK dance's xd
holy.. fucking ... shit... so many thanks for this recording of the awards, the performance is just 100 % of pure pleasure *-*
Papa Roach and Issues were the best live. It was awesome to watch everyone though.
That was Soo sick ! Loved it . I love that Kell's is a rapper and a metalhead . 🤘🏻🖤🔥
When mgk went into the pit, I just about lost it. That is the rawest stuff ever.
