634 - SOPHIE LLOYD - Machine Gun Kelly’s Guitarist on Tour Bus Antics, Flashing Travis Barker, & What MGK Thinks Of THAT Picture…

We’re joined by the insanely talented rock guitarist Sophie Lloyd who tours with Jaack’s arch nemesis Machine Gun Kelly. Sophie shares how playing for MGK came about, including the DM that started it all and why he reached out to her in the first place. Of course we had to ask Sophie about the infamous photo that Jaack took with MGK at Reading Festival… Is he aware of the meme? Why was he so grumpy? What is he actually like in real life?  We hear what happens on a Machine Gun Kelly tour bus (mainly drugs) and the chaotic story of how Sophie’s mum somehow ended up twerking for Drake in MGK’s dressing room!  Sophie opens up about being bullied at school for being emo, and the creepy emails from a stalker that nearly led to a restraining order. She talks about finding her people in the alt scene, overcoming imposter syndrome while playing sold-out arenas, and performing on the Formula 1 stage and at the Women's Rugby World Cup Final (plus the famous rock icon that commented on her performance!)  We also dive into what Yungblud is like in real life, the wildest things that have gone wrong mid-performance, and learn some proper guitar lingo for anyone wanting to shred like a pro. Sophie even brings in a surprise gift that might just be the best thing we’ve ever received on the show.  Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices
