Michael Jackson R.I.P.

Catholic priests are happy MJ is gone--less competition for them.

I heard on CNN that MJ, since he is 90% plastic, gone to be cremated and turned into legos so that kids can finally have a chance to play with him instead of the usual MJ playing with them
 
Seriously, wouldn't it be so easy for a greedy parent to take advantage of the situation? "Hmmm this dude looks and talks like a freak, is a millionaire and likes children. Son, I'll give you all the ice cream you want if you do me a favor...."

There's no way to know if he actually did molest children, personally I tend more to think that he didn't, he was just strange but inoffensive IMO, but can't be sure. I will be sure of one thing, at least 1 of those parents were lying and just wanted a big piece of cake. I know if my son was molested I wouldn't shut up for money, I would shut up when he was in jail. So they give him some million dollars and he's like "yeah cool I'll buy him a new virginity no prob"

All that aside, what an excellent songwriter, singer and showman he was, whoever denies that is deaf.
 
I do know that in the trial, one kid was able to describe a mark that Michael had on his...ahem...."Jackson". So, it doesn't seem that he was completely innocent in all of that. At the same time, it seems that the parents were something weird themselves. After all, who lets their little kid hang out at a really strange adult's house all of the time?

I never really minded the tunes. But, they were a whole world away from metal in the 80s, that's for sure. Of course, so was accordion music, and now we have Finntroll. So what the hell do I know?
 
He's a legend. And I'd rather listen to his songs (some are pretty fucking amazing) than most metal made this days...
If he liked to "entertain" children, he should have been caped (any pedofile should). As a musician and entertainer, he was really gifted. We are short of gifted people these days... there's no media space for them, since it is being filled with crap. Some people are comparing him to B. Spears... geez...

comparing Michael Jackson to Britney Spears is stupid. You either know so much about music you can't tell a C from a C++, or you simply deny yourself actually listening to anything MJ has done and think all pop is the same.

Wait, what?

This is true? I mean how many ways can this be known to a kid innocently?

I'm sorry to be a downer on this thread, but this is news (true of false) to me.

a 14 old is only "innocent" by law. We have 12/13 year old girls here having children. Yeah, I know it's the third world...

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!

whine about it. Im sick of being told what's good by blowhards that buy into the mainstream crock of bullshit. If he revolutionized pop music than thats a fucking crime against humanity, because pop music is a god damned farce. Sad blight on humanity, just like TMZ and all the people that give a fuck about who's fucking who. I dont care what metal bands are influenced by Jackson, IM saying the guy's just a performer who sang his songs and did his thing. Nothing more and nothing less. Give me a break.

You buying Britney's new record, too? She "revolutionized" pop since she came out, too.

ah... I wasn't comparing them... I meant that comparing them is stupid because someone did it here some posts ago (asking if one would buy new Britney's album cause she was a revolution on pop like Michael...). I actually listen to MJ and recognize him as a remarkable artist. Sorry if I seem that stupid to you, but I guess I'm not the stupid one here. And no... can't differ C from C++ since I'm no programmer :err:

Read my entire post before bashing me please :)

no man you got me totally wrong, I was backing you up, not bashing you! sorry you got it the other way around, I was actually agreeing with you about saying how stupid it is for someone to compare MJ to BS (her initals match... bull.. hmm..), I know you weren't comparing them yourself

I agree, one is semi cute, big breasts, and kinda trailer trash while the other was an unholy shade of white, had his nose fall off, and had been under investigation for being a pedo. No comparison

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.

Would you like to know what I'm sick of? People giving half a fucking shit about a public figure's moral character as if a famous child molester is worse than an obscure one. Nobody is claiming that he became famous or influenced people through impeccable character. It's even worse than celebrities who blather about their political bullshit with no reason for anyone to listen but their fame - if we were celebrating his track record of not doing anything creepy at all, this would be relevant... but it isn't. If Charles Manson's most significant acts were solving world hunger, the comparison would be relevant... but it isn't. It would be one thing if we were talking about Paris Hilton dying, but this is an influential musician being discussed by musicians on a music forum. For fuck's sake...

Ya know, I just checked out some Jackson today, and to be honest, although I HATE him personally, his older albums and hits aren't that bad after all.
Maybe I was a TOUCH wrong.

I still think he was a douche, but his older songs have a little zip to them.
