Now, the name is great, but it's unclear if Barker is really going to be upset with the fact that he permanently wrote on his arm a name that doesn't mean anything. Or, it's just a really, really cool story!
As you can imagine, fans of the rockers are lighting up social media with reactions to the mind-blowing video. "Haha, LOL this is too good!" one person wrote. Another added, "That kind of makes the tattoo better."
"Best marketing of any artist in the modern era. Keep up the great work," a person added.
Machine Gun Kelly recently opened up about the music on the album, saying, "It feels more guitar-heavy for sure, lyrically it definitely goes deeper — but I never like to do anything the same. Every album is a juxtaposition of the last album. So I went and studied Tickets, and I heard the bright sound that I had, and for this album, I just turned the lights off."

Adding, "Like, I’m looking for a closet to hide in and somewhere to go."
