It's great to see a video of 'Godspeed'! I have all MWK's songs downloaded on itunes! I loved seeing Andy, Neal, and most of all, David Cook's MWK performances! Now when I listen to these songs, I can picture who is singing lead, backup, and who plays what guitar! Thanks!
What's cool is seeing how even back then that David was still as passionate playing the guitar as he was when singing lead for Axium. I remember seeing all the comments from the Declaration tour on how many people wanted to see Dave do less guitar on the songs so we could see him play more with the mic. But looking at this early video and the fact he plays on almost every song- our guy loves playing the guitar.
MWK wasn't David's band, he joined it after Axium broke up. I have watched Andy grow up in MWK and he is a fine singer and an awesome performer. David joined MWK knowing he would be playing guitar, not singing....
Andy!!!!!!!!!!!!! MWK! You guys are the coolest! We love you! W.R. - I agree... Kinda cute and possibly talented whats-his-name guitar player there. ;)
This is so weird to see the roles reversed!! DavidCook<33

Andy looks so different with short hair. He has so much talent, and he is still so young yet.
Thanks for this cool glimpse into the past.

@smacri yeah, he does remind me of Raine. I've been looking for a vintage MWK vid forever, and just now found this. Dunno why it took me so long.

hilaryduff8271 3 years ago
Well, David moved to Tulsa in 2006, so probably then. I'd say early 2006, because of how young Andy looks here.
