The Jacksons should release both on DVD as soon as possible.


Maybe Mj's estate is saying no? Should be easier now Michael is dead (I know its harsh, but its true lol ).

So, supposedly The Jacksons got a "victory" tour date pro filmed, and so did Michael. Michael owns his copy, they own theirs. That tour was a mess LOL. lol


Yeah. lol That was purely a mess. Obviously Michael didn't wanna do it he only did it for his fans lol

Yeah MJ has his own copies of the show. Sometimes I think that the Jackson family doesn't want to share certain things with fans, which is understandable.

You just know Jermaine and the brothers got the Katherine to beg Mike to do it. I don't want to go into their family drama though lol

Funny when Joe and the rest of them were planning on taking the tour to europe (which they must of thought of), and Mike just said no and announced live on stage at the last date of the tour that this was his final show with the brothers, without the brothers knowing Mike was gonna say that beforehand lol

The coolest thing about the tour was "tell me i'm not dreamin'". But Mike refused to rehearse anything from the "victory" album (a blessing in disguise for some on here Iam sure), but I would of loved live versions of "torture" and inparticular "wait".

AND Cheater was recorded at his house lol

I've wondered why Monkey Business got shelved. It was supposed to be the lead single for Dangerous but as the album progressed, Black Or White replaced it. Looking back, I can see it being released, but not on Dangerous. It's like every song fits, even Heal The World, which I've hated since I first heard it when I was 5 lol

not to mention, he would work on a song, put it away, and then take it out and work on it again, as was the case for

Little Susie (written in '79 while he was writing Heartbreak Hotel and Lovely One, but not released until '95)

Earth Song (written in '88 for Dangerous)

Dirty Diana (written in '83 for possibly Victory)

Wanna Be Startin' Somethin' was for Off The Wall, Liberian Girl was for Victory, Streetwalker was for either Bad or a Broadway play he was writing

and then I found out that This Is It and Love Never Felt So Good was planned for a MJ/Paul Anka collaboration album AND he had done an album of classical inspired songs after he did Off The Wall.....


"Monkey business" sounds very dated to me LOL. Probably canned it like when he supposedly canned Bubbles' cartoon tv show. Bubbles was getting more attention then he was and Mike was sick of it lol

As for "come together", its telling Quincy did not produce that track, probably meaning it was recorded around 1985/86 before Quincy got properly on board for "bad" (he challenged MJ to write the whole album himself whilst on vacation. Jackson reportedly wrote 66 songs, Quincy not realising MJ took the challenge seriously lol ). Mike worked on tracks with John Barnes whilst Quincy was away ("alright now" being one I imagine). And so he probably worked with Bill Bottrell on "come together" around that time aswell, particually with the catalogue he had just aquired.

nod Michael had been in the studio with John Barnes in '85, working on Another Part Of Me and We Are Here To Change The World

I get a feeling alot of the basic demo's for "bad" were done with Barnes. He is all over the "bad" album if you look in the credits. Particually "another part of me" (obvious why because of its early use in "captain eo"), "smooth criminal" and "liberian girl" etc... Just a theory...

I love Quincy, but he was very wrong when he allegedly thought "smooth criminal" was not strong enough for "bad". Mike overuled him on that one thank God. lol

Such an annoying shame Mike never did a classic albums tv doc for "thriller" or "bad". Same with Prince for that matter mad

I've heard that the last show of the Bad Tour (January 27, 1989) is pro filmed, mixed, and ready to go. Michael used clips of the show in montages all the time

Michael filmed all the shows of the Victory, Bad, Dangerous, and HIStory tours, but it's the matter of which are ready for an actual release that's the bigger issue

Yeah, the Kansas and Dallas shows are on Youtube. Some guy had hacked into the live transmission feed at the stadium (the one which goes to the big screens) and recorded it and sold the copies but got caught

Someone got their hands on a better copy of the Kansas show a couple of days ago

Well MJ wanted a triple-CD set and it would've been easy, Quincy wanted it down to nine at least and that overlays the problem right there lol

Thats just alledged of course lol . Still, even if Michael had alot more input into "bad" then he did on "thriller" and "off the wall", Quincy did a hell of a job on that record aswell....

...Technically the album is still a marvel in my eyes. Sure its not as deep as his later works like "dangerous", but the production still blows me away on some of those songs. Few albums I can think of sound like "bad". I know people complain about the glossy hi tech production, but thats an obvious part of its charm to me. Much too expensive to record an album like "bad" now. So sonically there are few albums like it (or any really). So at least the production is not derivitive, even if its not "organic" like MJ's and Quincy's previous work.

at 0:35, MJ says SC almost didn't make the album cut



This is the thing, if you record 10 songs for an album, NO MORE than 3 (if that) of them will actually be "album material". So I know it was pretty difficult to decide what songs stay and what songs go. Like when MJ discussed APOM vs SW. Both songs are great, but SW sounds like a part 2 of TWYMMF.

Oh yeah, I remember that clip lol

I just remember reading somewhere that Quincy didn't think it was strong enough to be on the album. Of course Mike would never admit to that about Quincy even if it was true lol

I was thinking the same thing! lol

I love Streetwalker, but the similarities are strong, plus they were written and demoed around the same time (1985, Streetwalker and when The Way You Make Me Feel was titled Hot Fever)

Lemme see which songs were written or concieved for Bad

Another Part Of Me- 1985
Bad- 1986
Cheater- 1986 or 1987
Dirty Diana- 1983
Smooth Criminal- 1985
Tomboy- 1985
What You Do To Me- 1985
The Price Of Fame- 1986
Speed Demon- 1986
The Way You Make Me Feel/Hot Fever- 1985
Streetwalker- 1986/7
Leave Me Alone- 1987
Someone Put Your Hand Out- 1987
Black Or White- 1987
Fly Away- 1987
I Just Can't Stop Loving You- 1987
Just Good Friends- 1987
Liberian Girl- 1983 or 1984
Man In The Mirror- 1987
Groove Of Midnight 1986 or 1987
Crack Kills- 1986

I'm not sure to consider Scared Of The Moon, Come Together, or We Are Here To Change The World part of the list, and what's up with Rod Temperton not doing much for the Bad album? I know he helped on it and he and Michael worked on Groove of Midnight, but he didn't have a track that could've been Speed Demon or Just Good Friends? lol

I now find it a little strange that Mike (or Quincy, who was a big champion of Rod's) did not use any Rod songs on "bad", but remember Mike was much more confident into how his albums should sound by "bad", and as we suspect, had more then enough songs of his own to fill the album (9 out of 11 tracks were of course written solely by him).

That and perhaps Quincy took Rod to go work with his latest projege Siedah on her "kiss of life" album, which he produced with Dick "Mr Minnie Riperton" Rudolph and also wrote/co-wrote a few tracks with her. So he was pretty busy around 1987 too.

(Bytheway, Rod did some great work on the "running scared" OST around the mid 80's aswell)

Speed Demon is TIGHT! I love that song. Just Good Friends is what should have been replaced. I would have took Cheater or even Fly Away over that crap. Scared of the Moon was in 85 for that book he was writing, which no one has any damn info on! lol

Rod and Quincy both thought MJ had grown musical-wise so Rod himself decided not to be part of any further process of the album and he was assigned to work with Siedah instead.

Despite its cutesy exterior, that film is depressing LOL.

Shame Jacko didn't do a big budget film for Disney, as opposed to the "captain eo" thing, which screams 80's LOL. The score (even though its short), to "captain eo" is nice lol Yep I notice such things.

Of course, MJ did "moonwalker" out of his own pocket. What a trippy piece of 80's nostalgia that is lol Love that film though. Grew up on it. And I love Joe Pesci. It even referances "the third man", a classic film noir, when MJ is being chased. Pretty cool stuff for a film starring a pop star lol

Groove Of Midnight 1986 or 1987
Crack Kills- 1986

I'm not sure to consider Scared Of The Moon, Come Together, or We Are Here To Change The World part of the list, and what's up with Rod Temperton not doing much for the Bad album? I know he helped on it and he and Michael worked on Groove of Midnight, but he didn't have a track that could've been Speed Demon or Just Good Friends? lol


Speed Demon is TIGHT! I love that song. Just Good Friends is what should have been replaced. I would have took Cheater or even Fly Away over that crap. Scared of the Moon was in 85 for that book he was writing, which no one has any damn info on! lol


rolleyes lol lol

NO NO, I love Just good friends , I think its very good.

I now find it a little strange that Mike (or Quincy, who was a big champion of Rod's) did not use any Rod songs on "bad", but remember Mike was much more confident into how his albums should sound by "bad", and as we suspect, had more then enough songs of his own to fill the album (9 out of 11 tracks were of course written solely by him).

That and perhaps Quincy took Rod to go work with his latest projege Siedah on her "kiss of life" album, which he produced with Dick "Mr Minnie Riperton" Rudolph and also wrote/co-wrote a few tracks with her. So he was pretty busy around 1987 too.

(Bytheway, Rod did some great work on the "running scared" OST around the mid 80's aswell)


Rod and Quincy both thought MJ had grown musical-wise so Rod himself decided not to be part of any further process of the album and he was assigned to work with Siedah instead.



Really? I was just guessing LOL. I dont really know. I sorta got it right then.

Plus Mike wrote at least 60 songs I think for "Bad".
