One of the things I love about Mk.Gee is that you can hear his influences so clearly, yet it's so completely his own thing. The dudes a 80's high fantasy synthetic wizard.
That’s why I like Mk.gee so much, since I was a kid I vibed with artists like MJ, Toto, Phil Collins, The Police, Fleetwood Mac, and he seems to encapsulate all of those influences in his music in an original way, Mk.magic
I've seen this video a few times this week...So infatuated with this sound, I hope this gets released officially. The sense of space within the music, the dance feel, the unique tone. The harmonies. That driving bass also compliments the minimal guitar work. It's so goddam perfect
Has it been 2 weeks since this video was recorded? I'm addicted to this song like crack cocaine. Couldn't agree more with you. When the f does this come out!!
@@Ronaldoisboss literally the coolest ending to a show ever. all of them vibing out to a new song for a stop on the tour that most other artists would see as an opportunity to be lazy and not put on a better show was refreshing. love these guys
This might be my favourite song he's ever made. It has this incredible nocturnal feel to it. Has elements of Thriller by Michael Jackson, harmonies remind me of Fleetwood Mac and the vocal processing is pure 80s Phil Collins/The Police. Amazing work. Sounds like a classic that already exists but it's totally original. Can't wait for this and to see him live!

Thanks for this footage. I keep coming back. It's so damn good. If this gets an official release, it's already my favorite and showcases how monumental his sound will be for years to come.
The steady churn of that baseline while these instruments float on top of it is right out of the Quincy Jones/Thriller production playbook. Much respect
i did it ??? here you are i wanted a fight laugh it up, you started a war x2 only laugh it up cuz you started a war x4 i did it ??? ??? i need you tonight laugh it up, laugh it up you started a war don’t sit here and ask me what you’re saying admit all the moves that you’re making ???? world’s for the taking admit all the moves you’re making

@@chrismcallister9038 i really doubt it. i’ve listened to 3 different angles of this video + a few from Minneapolis and it sounds too much like I did it. plus if the second line actually is “shut up and ride” then i doubt he’d wanna write a song telling his girlfriend to shut up… shut your mouth worked in Alesis but something tells me he’s not big on telling his girl to shut up in multiple songs lol
if I'm not mistaken, Levin or someone else in King Crimson also used a VG8 like Mike does so it makes sense the sound is there, he's probably using a similar or the same preset
Anyone at the Detroit show know if they closed the encore to this?? I had to leave during Alesis but I will be so sad if I missed this! Such an awesome sound and I hope the recorded version captures this energy!
i got sidetracked with life hahaha but i just got a VG-88, gonna re-do all my covers with better tones so i'll be working on the tutorials alongside the covers. promise this time
this is the full recording, the chorus repeated a few times after this video ends but they walked off stage shortly after it ends and the song ended as they walked off since everyone was losing their minds
that hasn’t been confirmed yet but i guess anything is possible. i can hear how people might think it’s him tho. from what i’ve heard, Mike was tapped to write and produce FOR JB’s next album, not have Justin hop on one of his songs as a feature but maybe he just did background vocals? it would still be preemptive of Mike to tease a song with JB after only just announcing they’re working together but who knows for sure
This is the type of artist you tell your kids about
realest mkgee comment ive ever seen
type of artist you grow your kids up on
1000% yeeep
i feel like this song has existed my whole life and its only been 4 days since I heard it

The vibes are unmatched. Pure enjoyment of the moment
the quiet “i have one more song” as we were all about to walk out!!!
@@ShaeLisaJackson i was shook, thought we were gonna get a throwback to A Museum of Contradiction 😮💨
I hope the eagle sound is in the actual song 😂
lol earbuds in … I dipped my head and looked up 😂
@@brittanybeaudoin4064are you looking up are ya askin why?????
I think it’s something only done in their live shows. The same sound played before they began “Lonely Fight” in Boston last week
It's one of the samples on their sampler on the stage. Zack who's behind the table dancing controls it in this clip. I think Mike was in Toronto
It is! Only once though in like the last 30s
He's really doing the 80s proud.
its 2024 .... stop looking back
@@HEATSEEKER00 tell him that.
@@HEATSEEKER00 why not, the 80's was the shit bro

Whoever recorded this is a legend. This might be my new favourite bloody song.
It’s out now
Enjoy 🩵

He previewed lonely fight before it dropped so hopefully it’s the same situation with this song cause I need this
It’s literally the police but I love it too lol

melon ?
I hope you saw his performance on SNL this past Saturday....it is mind blowing. he crushed it
it's out! ROCKMAN :)
This was so lit live, they used it as the closer and just walked off

So fucking dope to see him grooooving like that🕺🕺🕺🕺
Phil Collins/The Police coded🐐🐐🐐
Police influence huge
Prince got in there sideways.
No. It’s Mk.gee coded
What are some songs that sound like this?
@@Justice_H2OIllegal alien by Genesis/anything by Genesis really
It’s here! “ROCKMAN”
It’s mad when you find an artist that has absolutely everything you love about music in their work - Mike really is MY musician
right
He keeps getting better somehow

I cannot stop listening to this
Rockman is the title, we finally know !!
Zack is such a vibe at every show
How can a live version of an unreleased song with screaming in the background sound so damn good.
Bridge goes soooo crazy 1:29
The songwriting is insane
That little dance at the end made it even better. 🌟🌟
Who else is watching in 2073?
Good times these were 🙏🏽
The kind of emotional grunt-gut-wrenching vocalizing I've not responded to so strongly since an artist like D'Angelo
Thanks for this footage. I keep coming back. It's so damn good. If this gets an official release, it's already my favorite and showcases how monumental his sound will be for years to come.
That’s a gem with them speakers like bro has the studio setup very nostalgic
RAHHHH MK.GEE, THE MAN YOU ARE ‼️‼️😭😭
This is truly an amazing sound. Wow
Back for the 10th day in a row. Still a need.
i'm in love with mike
Watched the Minneapolis show and he played this as his last song. We need this track asapppp
thank god he played it - if he had walked off after playing DNM 3 more times (13 total for anyone who wasnt there) i would have rioted
magic stuff right there
This can’t be not released. Pure fire
The steady churn of that baseline while these instruments float on top of it is right out of the Quincy Jones/Thriller production playbook. Much respect
It’s like he made the album and was like oh no I got more fire shit watch this 😮
I NEED THIS!
Mk.gee is really saving music out there
Stuck in my head since I first heard it like 5 days ago screaming
i neeeeedddd ittttt
Sounds like it could’ve been on “Ghost In The Machine” album 🔥
I love New Haven
what an absolute banger ... cant wait for Berlin !!!
niiiiiiiice recording dawg. jealous y'all been the only stop they previewed it
the shut up and ride line gets me every time, so unbelievably sick
was waiting for this to be uploaded, thanks for posting
I love this man
This shit is so god damn good
This show was fire, thanks for recording this. The crowd went crazy when he said he was playing an unreleased cut.
it’s out now tg cuz I fasuee was watching the vid over and over lol
wish we got this at the Boston show
I want this one so bad
This riff is so good, Im already obsessed with it
Needed this on DSPs day before now!!!
wowww hope this gets released like lonely flight. sounds huge
THAT SCREAM THOUGH AT THE ENDDDDDDD FUCKKKKKK
wait was that scream even in the song? if not it should be cause that went hard asf ngl
eric put me on 🔥
ericdoa mentioned🙏
This is my favourite video on TH-cam
I was at this showwwww the “outro” him and Andrew played was diabolical 💀
He is definitely a fan of The Police, sounds great
Oh my gosh. That is a jam.
fuck yes. I love this
I love seeing young musicians enjoying themselves ... having grown up in the 90's where everyone was overly moody for no reason
IM SO MAD I MISSED THIS SHOW!!
this is genuinely insane
Video ends at the best part :(
This song reminds me a bit of what he played at the end of the Jil Sander Show
o this one gwan b a banger
So fkn good
Is he saying, "Rylee, you started a war"? Would make sense given the reference to Rylee in a lot of the Two Star songs...is there a through-line here?
i did it
???
here you are
i wanted a fight
laugh it up, you started a war x2
only laugh it up cuz you started a war x4
i did it
???
???
i need you tonight
laugh it up, laugh it up
you started a war
don’t sit here and ask me what you’re saying
admit all the moves that you’re making

damn lucky crowd😭
guitar tone reminds me heavily of tony levin's stick sound. Mike is definitely on the path to something very interesting.

fire
"lmk if yall fw this" 😭
Wow so lucky, he didn’t play this in Boston 😢
he left to go to some blow
Mike is the best pointer
there's an obscene amount of pointing going on in this video but he does point the best
is there anybody who hasn't been pointed at yet?
Is that bieber ???
holy shit this is so bruce hornsby
@@predaconpredacon5961the way it is by bruce hornsby and the range, anything the police put out from 79 and on

Ha! I was there. Can't wait for this one. When u dropping tutorials big dog?

@@jac.andrew thats valid bro. peace and love
Anyone know if there’s a version on Spotify 🙏
ericdoa if you read this, please bring back dante red and release 003/trust me I know pls I’m begging 😞🙏🏼
They gonna give this to Bieber
Has anyone come across a full recording yet?
this is the full recording, the chorus repeated a few times after this video ends but they walked off stage shortly after it ends and the song ended as they walked off since everyone was losing their minds
i went to the toronto concert and it was nowhere near this hype
I feel like I’ve heard similar songs before, can anyone point me to some?
kinda sounds like a poppier version of message in a bottle by the police
King of pain at around 1 minute
Such a good show.
people saying its JB on the background vocals? is this true chat?
Rad
This features Justin Bieber you can hear him
that hasn’t been confirmed yet but i guess anything is possible. i can hear how people might think it’s him tho. from what i’ve heard, Mike was tapped to write and produce FOR JB’s next album, not have Justin hop on one of his songs as a feature but maybe he just did background vocals? it would still be preemptive of Mike to tease a song with JB after only just announcing they’re working together but who knows for sure
@@jac.andrew Very thorough. Thanks a million.
