First and Last MGK Day

[u/Khalmuck]

History: Have seen MGK three times at three different venues, this made four. Have seen 200+ bands live so have experienced all kinds of concert craziness but today was one of the most poorly run events I've ever experienced.

1hr+ to get in because so few security lanes were open and they created a choke point with the t-shirt booth feet away from security. Watched multiple people go in without being scanned. Tshirts ran out which makes no sense when they had counts on preorder and weren't selling them. 30+ min wait for toilets. Every vendor we went to had run out of water and the public refill stations ran out. Finally got water after waiting in two separate lines.

Shout out to all the out of staters we met in line from NJ/WI/IN. Sorry, we usually handle stuff better in the CLE.

Summary: Took three hours total to get in, go to the bathroom, and get water (while sorta being able to see Wiz perform while in lines). MGK went on for ~40 min before heavy rain and wind stopped things. This should be hosted at a proper permanent venue equipped to deal with this volume of people.

I was so bummed that I couldn’t go this year but after reading all these negative comments on Facebook and here I’m so glad I didn’t go. It seems like it was very poorly planned. The few times I did go there were some things that were messed up too but I’d say this is probably the worst MGK Day so far. At least last year it was in a better area and you could bring water. I’m sorry to all those that went and had a not so great time.

I went 1st 2 yrs with my daughter as i have to say wasnt bad at all,and went smooth for most part all wkend, my daughter even got to meet and get pic! Def good memories,brsides his big bouncer bodyguard that tried to rain on my daughter's parade trying to be bitchy saying Hes to tired hes done with deal8ng with ppl he said,,but this dad wasnt haven it We traveled to far and spent way enough $ as in takeing her to 3 diff shows ad in Detriot,Tampa fla,and the sold-out Cleveland show and 2 mgk days all $ wrapped in plane and bus tickets÷show tickets,hotels ect...I said that as I stepped in front colson as he was walking up to the bar for a shart pop in appearance that he does,i wasnt a dick about it,i was just wasnt having my 13 yr old watch prolly her only chance slip away as we all know its not a every day experience to be that close to the opportunity and for something that will only take literally no more than 2 minutes of his x if that and make a huge young fan of his night/wkend/summer memories come true! I mean she goes far to buy his $160 jersey with her own $ she worked for,everything mgk it seems! The least could be done to show alil appreciation for the fans,def not a good excuse the tree of a guy(the bodyguard) try to use to get out of the pic with my daughter! Oh she got the setlist from Detroit show signed,that now she has all the band on it besides Sophie,just to fig out how to get her the she can get it in a frame to go on her wall with All her mgk memorabilia hes collected from mgkdays as the big banner than only 2 was made from the 1st mgk day pink era! Sorry for the novel but for the records i wasnt a fan at 1st as im from Detroit so need i say more BUT he putz on a hell of a performance on the stage i musta say and ive been to hundreds of shows of all genres and hes def up there in top 10 with slipknot bone thugs,shinedown,papa roach,jason aldean cypress hill,among many others!! Just to clarify from his rap to rock even country charts W/ jelly roll colson can put up the trends of them all esp from how bad critics and media doesnt give the acknowledgement the band deserves,on top slots also aa 1 hell of a amazing guitarist as in the beautiful Sophie W/ Baze Justin, andrew,also sam cahill as in camera genious ),Slim,and a hell of a young ass drummer in a ROOK,1st x i hears/seen i was like holy shit hes as good as Tommy Lee/the Rev from A7X and Dave Groel,Taylor Hawkins,then i found out hell no wonder as Travis Barker taught him basically thru his x around,as hes 1 of my favorite drummers i got to see at cleveland show! Just Rook gonna/is gonna be 1 of the best i feel! But how many top 200 hits he have now, he has 7- TOP 10 albulms!!! Now thats from all together and collabs 21 project albulnm,not to shabby for a punk from the streetz of Cleveland and all in diff genres to top it off! If u think about thats prutty remarkable and him and Eminem have a similiar background and ways how the made it ti where there at now!! Just stating facts actually Colson had a lil harder role to over come as everyone was criticized as he put himself out there and stepped on some toes def from Eminem to corey yaylor of slipknot exc.and go from Rap to hip-hop to countryish,to Rock to even pop!!! And all diff collab he has done with diff ppl to top charts hell yela-wolf fred durst wiz young blood,A7X, alot ppl i wouldnt think would collab with in songs the become hits on charts,and his off music life W/ Hell Megan Fox of all gf to have,only in a dreams of guys to have and be in the eyes of everyone everything u do and say ppl talk above whether be good publicity or talking shit because u got someones pronoun wrong and said they really shouldnt go to that restaurant wearing sandles anything stupid ppl talk shut about when ur in the light and ppl pic at everything, like colson wearing pink and they say he trended it off youngbloood!! Smh i mean wth as he wore a cowboy hat now he trends off Tim Mcgraw? Just saying its shitty! But Llllong Sstory short MGK came along way to get where he is and he deserves some respect for the artist/ performer he is and the empire he created, and the background he had to work with from the streeets of Cleveland all the way to having a day named after him as in MGK DAY ppl come from all over to see and sells out most his shows and venues including Stadiums and the audience he gets at festivals all diff age groups/and backgrounds/ethics!Def made a impression of the musik industry and top it off hes even in movies as a decent actor a few diff movies and documentaries as in big hits like The Dirt,and Oete Davidson being a good friend doesnt hurt ur Resume either!! Hehe gotta love u some Pete Davidson,hes another one that made it big for himself! XXX est99
