Machine Gun Kelly gets pulled over by police in making-of papercuts video

Cole Bennett's Lyrical Lemonade company have shared a behind-the-scenes look at the making of Machine Gun Kelly's papercuts video, which was released last week.

The 15-minute-long clip shows everything that went into Cole's first-ever rock video – from covering up MGK's tattoos and hair, to his performance on stilts, to Travis Barker's giant drum riser, to having custom-dyed black eggs thrown at him, to, uh, getting pulled over by the police on the very first shot…

Indeed, soon after the official video was actually released (and before this making-of video was shared), Machine Gun Kelly took to Twitter to reveal: "favorite part of the papercuts video was me and Cole waiting 3 years to shoot something together and on the very first shot the cops pulled us over and shut it down cuz i was riding a motorcycle without a helmet, he was filming in a trunk with no seatbelt, and we got tickets."

Immediately after wrapping the entire video, a very pleased Cole tells the camera (transcribed by Kerrang!), “First off, I have to say, that is the craziest, coolest motherfucker I’ve ever worked with in my life. I’ve never seen someone on camera with his charisma, energy and character in my life; I’m blown away. The fact that we built a friendship for three years before we worked together, and the whole story how this came together, just makes it even more of a beautiful moment.

“I can honestly say I’ve never felt this way, on set, about a music video in my life – I can honestly say that from the bottom of my heart. My heart is full right now, I’m fucking jumping up and down, I haven’t slept in a long time but I feel so alive…”
