Vultures!!! Any excuses to make a quick buck these days, sad world full of sad muppets... especially today... May he rest in peace!!!
His Videos were all over the place. Michael Madsen (Who can say he's been on Screen with BOTH MJ and David Caradine) and Marlon "I don't feel like doing shit leave me alone" Brando was in his last video. Martin Scorsese Directed Bad. Scream had an insane budget for what it was and then there's Ghosts, Thriller and other long music videos.
I already posted about his before but... This game was what started everything for me, my interest in videogames, consoles, collecting, through videogames I came in contact with all sorts of japanese media and culture which ended up in several trips to Japan which changed and shaped my life even more.. As a kid I was already a huge MJ fan, then one day I found this game at an arcade and ended up leading to this chain of events. I never realized this butterfly effect, in a way he really changed my life and I never noticed it until now ray: this is making his death even thougher on me right now :crying:
Yeah, the man was the king. One hit after another. No matter what music style you liked, everybody enjoyed MJ music. He mixed every music style and always ended up with something great. The music made you want to dance, but was also blues, Rock 'n' Roll, Soul... Eddie Van Halen did a guitar solo on "Beat it". That's not Rock 'n' Roll + 80's in one shot! I love BTTF series and you mentioned one of the best moments of BTTF2! Don't forget Chris Tucker " MJ performances" on Rush Hour series. :icon_bigg He even appeared on "You Rock My World" video. I was playing this on MAME last night. I remember playing it on the arcades and when the intro ended the voice: MOOOONWALKERR! :icon_bigg Also made me remember playing the Master System version tons of times!
M. Jacksons music was awesome, and still is. But the rest is something I do not want to go into, cause it is not important to me.
Vultures isn't the correct word,since they don't try to sell it for that much,they DID SELL! Already 5 or 6 Moonwalker Genesis CIB copies sold for $150!! People is just dumb! ^^
to think we're about 6 years from the setting of BTTF 2 now.....where's our hoverboards and Hologram street signs and flying cars? I didn't exactly like the movies but MJ was also in Men in black. Hmm have the prices of The Space Channel 5 games gone up at all? How about Ready 2 rumble 2?
My internet was down last night...dang, this is a shock! If anyone ever finds real evidence that he abused kids though, I wouldn't feel for him at all...
I don't think he did. I think he was just strange and it seemed like a story people would want to believe.
It was sad to hear he has gone and i only knew when i decided to check out the new channels. If you forget all the negative stuff and all that was wriiten about him over the past few years and concentrate on his music especially his ealier stuff then you see that he was extremely talented and successful as well as being an inspiration to people.
Damn, damn damn damn. I mean C'MON!! I had Michael Jackson Tickets for 2010! and He goes and Dies.. FOR F'IN SAKE! And there reports that somepeople may never get a refund (£80). I remember having to ask my big sister whether MJ was a Male, becuase his voice was very high and had long hair. That was kinda funny. I hope his kids do some singing when there older, I had always wondered if they would sound the same. And why do Singers have to die?!! ??! Kurt Kobain, Ian Curtis, MJ! Lets hope there all hiding away somewhere with Elvis and John Lennon. FUCKKKK
I myself don't believe he was guilty, for reasons I already stated in this post over in the MJ arcade game thread: http://www.assemblergames.com/forums/showpost.php?p=352543&postcount=72 I bet you could sell those tickets on ebay for several times that. They're the ultimate MJ collectable, tickets to his last concert that never happened.
Usually when someones just died you dont drag up things that were rumoured to happen. Normally you look at the better things. Such as his great music of the 80's. For what?
It is crazy his stuff is going for higher now. Though some of those auctions I believe were running before his death. I would say wait a month or two and prices will go back down. This happens with a lot of artists that die, people buy their stuff right away cause they want here his stuff again cause hes dead. Though I am kicking myself for not picking up thriller or off the wall on vinyl since every record store had them for cheap, but now probably have the prices marked up and already sold out of them now.
Torrents were imploding last night. I had a million different things downloading (from Judas Priest to Johnny Cash to Prince) In many cases MJ had 3000+ peers and around 200 seeds
It's a sign of the apocalypse- 4 famous actors dying in one month, and the factor that scientists are jinxing us by repeadetly talking about asteroids hitting the earth. Damn scientists! Still, I thought he would die at 70 something from his nose falling off.
yeah, no money in suing a dead pop artist, why bother, the kid enjoyed it anyway. [j/k, in case some people lack humour]
