First off, I dig the card in general. A searchable pseudo-Ready Fusion would be interesting to toy with and could allow for decks that want to play Max Metalmorph for the pay off in Full Metal Dragon to play with a more extended package. Two question: The 'unaffected by your opponents' Spell/Trap cards' is a bit redundant, since Max Metalmorph provides protection from most things Spell cards do, no? Second, why choose Musician King for a Metalmorph monster instead of a monster associated with Joey or Bandit Keith? The naming convention is cute, but it feels a bit like making an Arcana Force card that's a retrain of one of Syrus's card for a pun.

It's a reference to DM Episode 53 where Musician King was equipped with Metalmorph. https://yugipedia.com/wiki/Yu-Gi-Oh!_-_Episode_053.

I also agree that the unaffected is unnecessary. I think it should banish from the GY as a Quick Effect to give the theme more options for interruptions.
