Machine Gun Kelly responds to viral TikTok accusing him of faking playing guitar Instagram: machinegunkellyMachine Gun Kelly has responded to a viral TikTok, in which a Guitar Center employee accused him of pretending to play the guitar live on stage. In early March, TikTok user Gunnar D\u00fcGrey, who is also a Guitar Center employee, uploaded a video in which he accused popular musician Machine Gun Kelly of pretending to play guitar while live on stage, making use of a killswitch to actually turn off his guitar sound while imitating playing. The user zoomed in on several images of MGK at a show with the kill switch in the down position, and demonstrated on the same guitar that this renders the instrument silent. \u201cI\u2019m not making any definitive claims here but it certainly seems like he doesn\u2019t use it for much other than muting his guitar while he plays,\u201d Gunnar added. However, on March 9, MGK duetted the original video, which had garnered over 600,000 likes, with a response to the claims.

He added: \u201cYou should go watch the performance, you can clearly hear it live.\u201d Read More: What is SoundOn?
