MGK—formerly known as Machine Gun Kelly—released his seventh studio record, Lost Americana, last August. When he took it out on tour, he hired two firebreathing fretboard masters, Justin Lyons and Sophie Lloyd, to knock his audiences dead. Ahead of their gig at Nashville’s Bridgestone Arena, PG’s Chris Kies met up with Lyons and Lloyd to get the lowdown on how they bring MGK’s music to life. Scope some of the highlights below.

Rig Rundown: Blink-182

America’s most beloved and immature pop-punks Blink 182 set off on their Missionary Impossible Tour last summer, and along the way, they stopped at the Orion Amphitheater in Huntsville, Alabama. That’s where PG’s Chris Kies connected with Justin Sweet, guitarist Tom DeLonge’s tech, and Brian Diaz, bassist Mark Hoppus’ tech. They took us backstage for a tour of the guitars and rack equipment that DeLonge and Hoppus brought out with them last year in this new Rig Rundown!
