Michael Jackson R.I.P.

[::XeS::]

Ok J doesn't like Jackson.....ok, so why he has to write here? Why he have to criticize him or us because we like him.
That's the point.
I don't matter if he doesn't like Michael Jackson....it's normal. But why he came here and started to blame about how much shitty he was and how stupid we are because we listen some pop music?

I loved Jackson back when I was a kid, like pretty much every other kid. I was obsessed with "Thriller", loved the videos, etc.

But sometime around the late 80's, it became clear that the guy was a fucking deranged wack job and my opinion of him just disintigrated.
Everything about the guy since then has added to that.
I can acknowledge the greatness of his early albums and accomplishments, but I can't say that any of my respect for the guy survived past his downward spiral into whatever that horrifying creature is that he became. With me, he doesn't get a free pass because of what he used to be, and I find the guy to be quite literally repulsive.

It is sad to remember how great he was back in the early 80's. I just wish he never spoiled that image.

As much as what he became repulses me too, I still don't really feel like I can hold it against him or anything
I don't honestly think it's his fault that he was a nutjob, he's just a product of his environment, if you get what I mean.

Dude, let it rest.

I think we should be able to post what we want about the topic. Whether or not you agree is irrelevant. I don't want to see fifteen threads all about Jackson. Let's condense it all to one.

That said, I'm outie5000 on this one.

I do think the Moonwalk was kinda cool.

....and Keith Richards is still alive. Who saw that coming?

This I agree with.

I'd have never guessed Jackson would go before Keith Motherfucking Richards.

That guy has some serious fucking genetics.

 

[Genius Gone Insane]

Not to start rumors but any speculation that he was murdered yet? Wasn't he like $400 million in debt? And in decent health? Funny business?

 

[Metal Overload]

Yeah, maybe he died the Elvis way.

 

[aramism]

jeeez some of you guys need to have fun in life or something. smile, laugh at something, enjoy the fact that you are alive, oh and RESPECT THE KING! whatever it takes to get that stick out of your ass.


otherwise you will end up like one of these guys, if you haven't so already.

[Black neon bob]

Just realised your sig

I'm gonna take your line and put it on my own

haha.. but that will not get you off my list of non-metal brothers though!
And to think i was going to send you shirts, money and my sisters.. tsk tsk.

 

[Metaltastic]

Ok, I was trying to read all this crap that occurred while I was asleep, but fuck, whine whine whine

HOWEVER, Tony, it's a sad state of affairs when someone can like some of the awful awful crap today and not just fucking groove your brainballs off when Thriller comes in, my god what a voice MJ had, and all his little "ohhs" and "ahhs" and "SHAMONA's", oh man did this shit cook, and COOK is the perfect word for it, IT'S SO FUCKING FUNKY FUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU, so much more soul than most of the awful pop shit of today's mainstream.

Just messing dude...mostly

I guess it's a sad state of affairs then.

If that puts me on the "No Longer a Metal Brother List." Than so be it.

.....least I still like Randy Rhoads...

 

[James-Doolan]

The man was a total legend imo and its a sad day for music R.I.P Michael you will be missed

 

[Gelatin]

I didn't really think there would be pricks on this forum who think metal is the whole universe and anything else is for pussies. Personally I don't see this forum as a "metal" forum, I rather see it as a place where awesome people gather to help each other and improve themselves, and their passion happens to be within metal. Yea now some stupid fuck is gonna try to pull a "duuuh, you do know this is UltimateMETAL.com right!?!?!???"... NO SHIT, is it?. It seems it is, but how does that promote the idea of rejecting the whole world and making that little corner of metal your new world? Fuck dressing like metal, fuck growing facial hair just to look metal, fuck being unsocial because it is cool and metal, fuck all that shit.

I'm sorry for ranting like this guys but seriously, it's not healthy or good in any way to think metal is the alpha and omega. WAKE UP! No matter from what angle you look at it, Michael Jackson HAS influenced metal. You'll shit your pants when one of your metal "gods" reveal in an interview or something, that they draw inspiration from MJ. Then you'll really feel as stupid as you really are.

No wonder most metal is pure crap... dare I say even crappier than pop? Maybe with less dick heads, and more open minded people, there would be more good new and fresh metal instead of the same old crap thrash or breakdowny crapcore.

Now with that said... go make some kick ass metal!

This is pretty slammin'!

HOLY SHIT, that sounds amazing!

 

[Executioner213]

Ok, I'll let it out...

Regardless of what musical impact he had on anyone, I think he's a fuckin piece of shit and I say good riddance. Sure, he was great 20 years ago, but he hung up his musical endeavors to be a fuckin chomo and a goddamn sideshow clown.

I personally get a bad taste in my mouth when everyone gets ready to dish out accolades for people just because they died. While I do have my personal tastes and personal opinions, it gets annoying when someone dies and gets venerated for one aspect and a clean slate of all of thier bullshit. Motherfucker might have got away with molesting kids, and hanging his baby out a window, and even becoming a living poster model for Planet Of The Apes...he fuckin backflipped in the early 90's, becoming a completely different person.

I can't wait for the day Charles Manson dies...not because I think he's a piece of shit anyway, but so I can see how many people start going off about how much positive shit he did for this-and-that culture, etc...and totally wipe away the fact that he was a fuckin sociopath and professional manipulator. Different gradient, but same scale...

I'm just glad to know the Jesus Juice has run dry.
