Kelly’s Machine Gun Pays Tribute to Dingo Luke Trembat with “Your Name Forever,” Featuring Olya Syks and Avenged Sevenfold

MGK’s Tribute to Luke Dingo Trembath

The machine gun Kelly paid tribute to his deceased friend Luke Dingo Trembat on the bitter -mother of the new single “Your Name Forever” – bring me Oli Sykes from Horizon and much more.

Honoring a Fallen Friend

The song, a rap-rock tribute, honors the late Australian snowboarder who passed away last month at the age of 38. It also features contributions from M. Shadows and Synyster Gates, as well as Mod Sun, who were among Dingo’s closest friends.

Shadows took to X/Twitter to share a video about the song, stating: “Dingo meant so much to us and many of our friends. S. And I jumped on this song to celebrate his life. I appreciate MGK for the fact that he was able to turn it around so quickly. Dingo is looking down, smiling.”

Yesterday (March 18), a video dedicated to Sam Kahill was released, celebrating the life of an extreme sports legend with a compilation of clips featuring Dingo, alongside mourners releasing doves in his memory.

“Tell me, did you know that the time came to say goodbye? / Tell me, did the heavens leveled where the angels fly?” MGK sings in the chorus. “What happens, what happens when you kiss the sky? / Tell me, did you know that the time came to say goodbye?“

The video concludes with various clips of Dingo and MGK, including a poignant moment where the singer of “Lone Way” asks his late friend: “Are we going to grow old and do this when we’re 50?”

Later, Kelly took to his Instagram stories to share the story behind the song, telling fans that it was created during the final hours of Trembath’s life. “I appreciate everyone who listens to ‘Your Name Forever,’ a song for our brother Dingo, which came about at the same time he was passing,” he mentioned.

“I had a strange feeling in my gut, and we initially made a completely different song. Out of nowhere, I felt compelled to say, ‘Let’s do something else.’ The first words that came to my mind were ‘I’m angry,’ which led us to shift to this new song. The line that I insisted on was: ‘Someone call me back / I will draw my coffin of black, if no one is.’

“Then I just sat there, and I burned this Santo for only thirty minutes, and nothing else came to me, and I did not quite understand why I spoke this line, and then we called.

“In fact, Slim (producer Brandon Allen) came and knocked on my door saying, ‘Come to the kitchen, I need to tell you something,’ and we went out and uttered the prayer, and the next phone call we received was that he had passed. It became clear that this was turned into Dingo’s song. This was the purpose of why it started. So the next day we returned and created one of the hardest songs I had ever come up with.

In a previous post shared last week, Kelly wrote: “Crazy… I didn’t even cry as much when my dad died. I’ve lost many friends, but I have never lost my brother. We will never get another Dingo on this planet. He was a true rock star, larger than life, not in need of a song—loyal, loud, charismatic, ridiculous, and at times annoying, but it was an honor to know him.”

MGK and Sykes previously collaborated on “Possible” in 2022, which debuted in Los Angeles during the Emo Nite event at Avalon in Hollywood.
