Michael Jackson dies from a cardiac arrest

[Banky71]

http://www.foxnews.com/story/0,2933,529103,00.html

Hope he's ok

[Wolfbeckett]

Just read about this. tmz.com claims that his family says it is not looking good, but all we can do is hope for the best.

[Stewie]

I hope he's ok.

[ghostofjarjar]

TMZ is saying he died. After all the drama and everything else I really hope its not true.

[AeroZeppelinSevenfold]

Wow that sucks...I hope he's ok. I know everybody is saying that, but it's true.

[Stewie]

TMZ is saying he died. After all the drama and everything else I really hope its not true.

OMG I hope this isn't true.
http://www.tmz.com/

EDIT: Now there talking about this on Fox.
He's been pronounced dead at the hospital.

[RockBandRocker]

Wow! If it is true, that makes 3: Ed McMahon, Farrah Fawcett, & Michael Jackson

[Wolfbeckett]

:(

[AeroZeppelinSevenfold]

Umm....I don't know what to say.....he's dead now. :(

[Banky71]

Wow just wow.

[Stewie]

They said he had no history of medical problems. This is shocking. First Ed McMahon. Then Farrah Fawcett (unfortunately we knew this was coming eventually) and now Michael Jackson. (Jackson's being the most surprising of the three)

[Alright_Computer]

Wait, really, he's dead? :( That literally came out of nowhere. I'm shocked.

[tridentgum0]

Omg. The saddest day in music in a LONG time. This calls for a playthrough of Thriller.

V Too late.

[DeadPhoenix223]

I hope he's okay, that would suck to have him die too.

[RockBandRocker]

They said he had no history of medical problems. This is shocking. First Ed McMahon. Then Farrah Fawcett (unfortunately we now this was coming eventually) and now Michael Jackson. (Jackson's being the most surprising of the three)

I don't think that's true. I remember awhile ago hearing he had been in the hospital for something (not plastic surgery related).

[Stewie]

^Well that's what they said. I don't know if it's true.

*puts on Thriller*
:(
RIP Michael

[seinman]

Hope he's ok

I don't. I strongly dislike him.

[Banky71]

I don't. I strongly dislike him.

Well you got your wish. I hope no one wishes death upon you some day.

[RockBandRocker]

^Well that's what they said. I don't know if it's true.

*puts on Thriller*
:(
RIP Michael

Either way, it still sucks.

Regardless of anything that happened in his life privately & publicly, he did create some of the most memorable music of the '70's & '80's (he went downhill in the '90's).

[tridentgum0]

I don't. I strongly dislike him.

What a douchebag thing to say.

[Stewie]

I don't. I strongly dislike him.

Dude he's dead. That's a really bad thing to say.

[MooTrain]

I don't. I strongly dislike him.

Do not post your disdain for an individual in a memorial thread. It's bad taste.

[kiggidykev]

No kidding, this is awful out-of-nowhere news.

[Alright_Computer]

I don't. I strongly dislike him.

Michael Jackson isn't high on my list of favorite people either, but I wouldn't wish death on him or anything.

[Jglaubman]

Guys, TMZ is the only when saying that he is dead. Let's not jump to conclusions yet.

[Bonez]

Well, TMZ just pulled the article saying he died.

Edit: Nevermind, I clicked the wrong link. Still, I don't think it's a bad idea to wait for a source that's a bit more reliable.

[DeadPhoenix223]

What a douchebag thing to say.

I know, he was a great musician, and he just died.

[CommonCriminal]

Wow.

[General Lein979]

Huh. Now I can't see the comeback show footage. It seems canceled after this heart attack/ possible death.

Yep he's dead and with it elementary jokes.

[DeadPhoenix223]

.Confirmed Dead at the Age of 50. :(

[Banky71]

Guys, TMZ is the only when saying that he is dead. Let's not jump to conclusions yet.

Fox is reporting it too. If that means anything.

[kiggidykev]

This is terrible news in any case if it's heart-related. But I'll wait a while for the early gossip to fade and come back later to see what the real story is.

[Stewie]

TMZ and Foz leaked it first. Everyone else has changed their report. He's definitely dead :(

[Masquerade]

I'm still slightly confused...

Wow though.

[SonicRocker15X]

Sad day for old pop music.
I must say, I really liked his work. RIP.

EDIT: Hate to make a joke or anything, but when I clicked on this thread, my 360 (playing Burnout Paradise and paused) started playing sad violin music. lolwtf?

[Bub]

Actually he is dead. R.I.P. Michael.:(

[KallenS]

... unexpected

[Lily_Mu]

Noooooooooooooo

:(

[DeadPhoenix223]

This cant be real.

[Lady Siara]

What a shame.

[CommonCriminal]

I never can say goodbye. No no no! No no no! No no noooooooooooooooo!

[Neon-POP]

I do hope TMZ is kidding about Michael Jackson passing away.

[Maxxxers]

MICHEAL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!! i cant believe this happened!

[lawrence1103]

CNN says he just suffered a heart attack but have not said that he is dead. I hope he isn't.


I don't. I strongly dislike him.
I know a lot of people dislike him but wishing death on a person is just cruel and shouldn't be wished upon anyone, not even your worst enemy

[zack10house]

Wow, I was not a fan of the man or his work, but I really hope this is all BS.

[Alright_Computer]

CNN and TMZ are both owned by Time-Warner, so you'd think that CNN would have the info on his death as well, but there's nothing there. I guess we'll see.

[Mystlyfe77]

I don't. I strongly dislike him.

That's a horrific thing to say. It's cold, and just utterly wrong. To wish death upon those you dislike, and I can all but guarantee you haven't even met, is terrible.

RIP Wacko Jacko.

[Luur32]

http://www.tmz.com/

I believe its being dicussed on CNN as well

EDIT: TMZ says he has passed. CNN says he is still hospitalized from cardiac arrest

Move this if you need to, but rest in peace MJ. The music left a legacy

[General Lein979]

I don't. I strongly dislike him.Haven't you heard of remember the good things. Look at it through a music perspective.

[KallenS]

CNN says he just suffered a heart attack but have not said that he is dead. I hope he isn't.


I know a lot of people dislike him but wishing death on a person is just cruel and shouldn't be wished upon anyone, not even your worst enemy

That's so true. Wishing the life out of someone who hasn't done anything extreme towards you is evil and childish.

[CommonCriminal]

Haven't you heard of remember the good things. Look at it through a music perspective.

Hard to remember his music over holding a baby over a balcony.

[afterstasis]

michael was an incredible artist who didn't receive a fair shake.

[KallenS]

Hmm, I have never really listened to Michael Jackson before. Guess I gotta do it now... R.I.P

[noobert]

cnn hasnt said hes dead. just that he has a heart attack

[Banky71]

CNN and TMZ are both owned by Time-Warner, so you'd think that CNN would have the info on his death as well, but there's nothing there. I guess we'll see.

I think they know and are just not reporting it. They keep talking about him in the past tense.

[RockBandRocker]

I just have three words to say:

"Thriller" and "Bad"!


That is all. Remember him for the albums and nothing else.

[Renrock]

Damn. That gave me a big chill when I logged online and saw that he had just died. He was one of my favorite musicians as a kid. :(

[Alvarado6411]

I'm still hoping. He made Thriller, Thriller...

[Jglaubman]

Fox is reporting it too. If that means anything.

http://www.foxnews.com/

where?

[Neogoglu]

Nothing confirmed from the Hospital yet.

It's all over the news now.


Alvarado, is that a bad joke ?

[BRKNSHDW]

he's not dead yet....TMZ is getting ahead of themselves

[afterstasis]

I just have three words to say:

"Thriller" and "Bad"!


That is all. Remember him for those albums and nothing else.

no way!
he had plenty of good material in the 70's, "dangerous" has some good stuff on it, AND you're forgetting the jackson 5!

[HMXThrasher]

merging with the other thread following this ...

[Jglaubman]

CNN just reported that he is in a coma.

[Luur32]

huh, so there was already a thread on this. My bad on the thread I made

Hope he can get a little better soon

[General Lein979]

he's not dead yet....TMZ is getting ahead of themselvesLets face it he's been dead for a while. He's was a shell of his former self. I wonder if this screws with licensing (hidden out of inappropriateness of current time. Still relevant to be in the rb part of the forums.

[Alright_Computer]

I think they know and are just not reporting it. They keep talking about him in the past tense.

And now they just updated the story using present tense. This is definitely weird, there's lots of conflicting information from different sources.

[Alvarado6411]

damn, it's official. ;_;

[Mocha.]

im watchin CNN now and they said he is in a coma... i'll keep posting if anything changes...

[RockBandRocker]

no way!
he had plenty of good material in the 70's, "dangerous" has some good stuff on it, AND you're forgetting the jackson 5!

Yeah, but my point got lost in the wording.

Remember him for his MUSIC and not any of the BS.

[R33DH4M]

:(

[Mocha.]

THey reported he is dead

[Jglaubman]

LA Times and CBS News are now reporting he is dead.... crap.

[Mocha.]

:( RIP : Michael Jackson 50 years old Died June 25, 2009

The KING of pop

[Alvarado6411]

So who will take the throne?

[Alright_Computer]

MSN is reporting him as dead now too. :(

[Scopitone]

...who owns the publishing rights to The Beatles?

[Luur32]

The world just fell silent.

RIP Michael. Your music wont be forogtten

[Soja]

http://www.mtv.com/news/articles/1614735/20090625/jackson_michael.jhtml

[Skode]

Shame not only his death but the fact he will be most remember for ALL the wrong reasons...court cases involving young boys, dangling babies over balconies, being flat broke, crazy eccentric antics etc.

There will never be another King of Pop in my opinon, that titles goes with MJ

[Gowienczyk]

:(

[lawrence1103]

LA Times is saying he's dead, CNN has not confirmed

[Mocha.]

So who will take the throne?

No one can ever take his throne... its THE Michael Jackson... no one can top that... just the name alone.... its just too much...

[travmeatwad]

Yeah, I was going to post this, but I figured someone already did. :(

[oRabbit]

Didn't he sell them awhile ago when he was in bankruptcy? I thought Sir Paul purchased them back finally....maybe that was a rumour I heard.

[General Lein979]

So who will take the throne?Mika
(http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Be6jlCuMvVQ) If he hits US he will be crazy popular. Lets pray he doesn't.

[Runa216]

Harmonix!

[Lily_Mu]

I really think that the child molesting accusations are BS.

All those people wanted money from him, that is all.

MJ will always be remembered as a good person in my case.

[davidshek]

CNN is reporting that they last heard he was in a coma. LA Times is reporting that he's dead now, but CNN hasn't confirmed it yet.

This is as of 6:32 PM EST.

[aspiring]

R.I.P MJ. We will miss you. Hope the reports are wrong though, because you were a legend. :(

[Mocha.]

:(:(:(:(:(:(:(:( Lost but NEVER forgotten...

[Baker Beauford]

well it is not confirmed that he is yet...but if MJ has unfortunately passed away, the publishing rights pass on to his estate and to whomever he has bequeathed them to. If there is no will, then they pass to whomever inherits under the intestacy laws of the state he resides in.

If he owes money to people(which I believe he does..a LOT OF OF IT), it is likely that any creditors out there will seek to attach those publishing rights to fulfill said debt, thus most likely the estate will sell them off to satisfy any debt of the estate to said creditors.

[Maxxxers]

he died.. =(

[Lily_Mu]

Mika
(http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Be6jlCuMvVQ) If he hits US he will be crazy popular. Lets pray he doesn't.

He already hit Canada. He isn't there with you guys yet?

[Samuel346]

By the way, cardiac arrest and heart attack are not the same thing.

[Alright_Computer]

:(

[HMXDungHeaver]

Who's going to be the next King of Pop??

[LegendofRock3021]

It's very sad to see MJ go, his music will be remembered for a long time. :(

[General Lein979]

He already hit Canada. He isn't there with you guys yet?Not really.

[tridentgum0]

Who's going to be the next King of Pop??

Miley Cyrus. ;)

[sh4d0wscr34m]

It's been confirmed for about 15 minutes. Where've you been?

[WaltX]

I can't believe it... :(

[RockBandRocker]

There is already a thread about this in the RB section.

This will probably get locked or moved/merged into that one.

[Mystlyfe77]

Yeah, I was going to post this, but I figured someone already did. :(

It was once, but it got deleted (most likely due to the comments of one poster that were in poor taste).

[Oscar-Rio]

daaamn.

[Mocha.]

Im still in shock! this is...its so... i... wow.... i just cant believe it.... he was only 50! thats not old if you as me.... he was supposed to go on tour... wow... i.... ::fall silent::

[Baker Beauford]

Didn't he sell them awhile ago when he was in bankruptcy? I thought Sir Paul purchased them back finally....maybe that was a rumour I heard.

It looked like he was going to sell them to pay off a huge debt he owed someone a few years back...but there was no final confirmation either way on that....I believe he stil has the publishing rights to most of the beatles catalog.

[timmay9]

:( Say you will about him being insane, because he was batsh*t crazy, but the world just lost one of the greatest pop-stars.

[Baker Beauford]

It's been confirmed for about 15 minutes. Where've you been?

CNN as of 6:36pm EST has it that he is in a coma after suffering cardiac arrest.....where have oyu been I guess is the question..though I see other sites have him dead...

Im pretty sure that he is, but until I see it on CNN...I'll wait to eb definititve.

[CommonCriminal]

Deja vu?

[Scopitone]

well it is not confirmed that he is yet...but if MJ has unfortunately passed away, the publishing rights pass on to his estate and to whomever he has bequeathed them to. If there is no will, then they pass to whomever inherits under the intestacy laws of the state he resides in.

I know he owned half of the publishing rights and I fear it may default to Sony now.

Hmmmmm.

[Mocha.]

By the way, cardiac arrest and heart attack are not the same thing.

Cardiac arrest : the heart STOPS

Heart attack : the heart is still FUNCTIONING but not very well..

[jebus]

Just wow, rip mj. pyt

[RockBandRocker]

It was once, but it got deleted (most likely due to the comments of one poster that were in poor taste).

No, it got moved to the RB section and merged with a thread there (like this one should).

[Gowienczyk]

Who's going to be the next King of Pop??

I've heard many people consider Justin Timberlake as the next one, so Iunno.

[ptrdvs]

TMZ and the LA Times are reporting him as passing on. God speed to the man for his musical genius. As for his personal life, may He have mercy those things that he may or may not have done.

[Izemann]

He's officially dead.

[Flawless]

Baker, click on the link and read the article their main page fails.

Also it's been confirmed since whenever TMZ called it - they always have their sources for things like this whether you want to believe it or not.

[MightionNY]

According to CNN, he's not dead, he's just stunned... I mean, in a coma.

Whoops, CNN just updated while I was typing. He's dead now.

[xXNinJa]

Until CNN officially confirms it, I'm not believing it. Call it denial if you want, its just hard to believe that this moment has come, and so young, but you have to remember him for all the good memories.

The great singles and albums he has released, the great dances that he has come up with, and the great impact he had on the music we have today.

If he goes, Rest in Peace Michael, you will always be The King to me, and to everyone, whether a fan, or am occasional listener.

[Bub]

Just changed my avatar to honor him.

[Alright_Computer]

CNN confirmed it. I guess that's all the major news sources. :(

[jonoo24]

CNN says he's in a coma. That means he might survive!Click to see proof. (http://www.cnn.com/2009/SHOWBIZ/Music/06/25/michael.jackson/index.html?eref=rss_topstories)

[undertow]

Can we get Beat It now? ... You know, in honor of the King of Pop.

[timmay9]

I am honoring him too.

[LibertineStripes]

NBC Nightly News says he's dead.

It is confirmed.

CNN says he's in a coma. That means he might survive!Click to see proof. (http://www.cnn.com/2009/SHOWBIZ/Music/06/25/michael.jackson/index.html?eref=rss_topstories)

Funny since that links to a page that says "Michael Jackson dies at 50". :(

[undertow]

According to CNN, he's not dead, he's just stunned... I mean, in a coma.

o'rly? http://www.cnn.com/

[Gowienczyk]

I just have three words to say:

"Thriller" and "Bad"!


That is all. Remember him for those albums and nothing else.

Off The Wall is just as good as those two.

[Mocha.]

wow.... when my mom told me i was like no hes going on tour in Eroupe in the summer... i turned on CNN and their showin all the choppers over the hospital and how his in cardiac arrest..... and now dead? are you serious!!..

[Baker Beauford]

Baker, click on the link and read the article their main page fails.

Also it's been confirmed since whenever TMZ called it - they always have their sources for things like this whether you want to believe it or not.

I hear ya....but given the gravity of the situation I do not like to assume anything for certain until it is... but yes TMZ is VERY reliable for things of this nature..its what they do...lol

[Young Claybert]

Shocking news. He couldn't have been in good physical shape, but still, it's almost unbelievable. Such a talented artist, his influence is immeasurable. :(

[jonoo24]

When i posted the link, the article said he was in a coma.

[AndrewAvenger]

Off topic: Why was this moved to Rock Band?

On topic: Mucho suck. I wasn't a huge fan, but he was an icon, nonetheless. Twoniconic loses in one day is always sad.

[Bub]

Everyone needs to change their avatars to show their respects.

[Mocha.]

WOW ARE YOU SERIOUS!!


how about Billy Jean, PYT, Smooth Criminal, I saw mommy kissing santa clause, Baby give me one more chance... ....... i could keep going but im not....

[Lily_Mu]

Man, why is CNN stalling so much?

[Oscar-Rio]

*puts billy jean on the stereo*

Wow Much Music fails. Michael Jackson dies and they just continue their regular airing of Paris Hilton's BFF :rolleyes: morons.

[Julio_Strikes_Back]

What a horrible and senseless death

[kanerules]

Damn...say what you want about the guy, but R.I.P Michael Jackson. Out of nowhere on this one. :eek:

I hope I'm wrong...but at the rate we've been going the past few days with celebrities...Patrick Swayze may be next. :(

[iagomonk]

According to CNN, he's not dead, he's just stunned... I mean, in a coma.

"There's a big difference between mostly dead and all dead. Mostly dead is slightly alive"

MJ rocks, but how is this related to Rock Band?

[Rockbandfan23467]

This thread is in the wrong place. Move to General or HoR.

[Lady Siara]

MJ rocks, but how is this related to Rock Band?

It was in general, but it got moved here for some reason.

[Zidane]

This makes me sad :( Michael Jackson was the only kind of music I listened to as a kid.

[Transbrak]

I still have my copy of Thriller on vinyl.


Bye Mike RIP

[madcapmatt]

Is it weird I was watching the VH1 Special "Black to the Future" 80's hour and Michael Jackon was JUST mentioned after I heard news of this....creepy.

[RockBandRocker]

Off The Wall is just as good as those two.

I fixed my post.

I know the guy had more good stuff than those albums (but since those are my favorites I pointed them out).

The b**ch of the situation is that more people are going to remember him for the BS than the music he created (which should be THE ONLY thing he's remembered for).

[Renrock]

Time for everyone to rock out Rock Band style to some Smooth Criminal tonight in tribute.

[Pint0Xtreme]

RIP Michael Jackson

[a21schizoidman]

RIP Michael...

[moose39]

He was weird as hell, but he made some really good music.

R.I.P. the King of Pop.

[BevoTheWarrior]

So sad. Farrah Fawcett and Michael Jackson in the same day...:(

Rip

[RockBandRocker]

He said albums. PYT and Billie Jean are on Thriller and Smooth Criminal is on Bad.

/The More You Know

I fixed my post to more reflect my point.

It's a damn shame that the BS surrounding him in the past 20 or so years is going to be remembered more so than the music.


Also, people on this forum sicken me. The man just died, and y'all wonder about f**king DLC songs! :mad:

[Luur32]

Getting a bit off topic, I dont want to see any Michael Jackson DLC any time soon. It would seem too much like people profiting off his death

[Rockbandfan23467]

He was gulity, he only got away with it because he was rich.

[RockBandRocker]

I just turned to it and I'm going to watch for a bit. :(

I just tuned in and caught the end of "Thriller".

The man made MTV!

[itzJV]

People, quit talking about DLC.. seriously..

[Mystlyfe77]

He was gulity, he only got away with it because he was rich.

You're despicable. Utterly despicable.

[Stewie]

He was gulity, he only got away with it because he was rich.

Dude he's dead. People have got to stop talking about this and just remember him for his music.

[DeadPhoenix223]

He was gulity, he only got away with it because he was rich.

who cares?
i think he was innocent, but now he's gone.

[JasUchiha]

R.I.P. Michael Jackson

[Transbrak]

Also, people on this forum sicken me. The man just died, and y'all wonder about f**king DLC songs! :mad:

I totally agree.

It's pathetic. Some people only care about themselves.

[Zidane]

I just tuned in and caught the end of "Thriller".

The man made MTV!

Hell yeah, all his videos are amazing.

[Alright_Computer]

He was gulity, he only got away with it because he was rich.

Actually, it was pretty much just an attempt by the kid to cash in on his friendship with Michael. Remember, he was proven NOT GUILTY.

[sleepstalker93]

wow! never saw it coming. not a fan of his music but he is a music legend and forever will be the King of Pop. He will be missed
R.I.P.
Michael Jackson
August 29, 1958- June 25,2009

[noobert]

im still waiting for cnn to say that hes dead...trying not to believe all the other sources but...chances are not good. rip michael

[Skittles]

I just heard Beat it on the radio... it was hard to hold back my tears
I just cant believe hes actually gone

[DeadPhoenix223]

yep, MTVs telling the story at the bottom

[Mex]

I have some pretty strong opinions about MJ's personal life but this isn't the time to talk about that.

Regardless of what I think, this is still a human being who had friends and family, people who loved him. So for that I'm sad and my heart goes out to those people.

And yeah, DLC guys? Come on.

[folkeye]

It's sad we've lost a performer....

[Meatwad555]

im still waiting for cnn to say that hes dead...trying not to believe all the other sources but...chances are not good. rip michael

Sorry, bro. He's dead.

[Stewie]

Things that shouldn't be mentioned in this thread
-DLC about ____
-And what he was found not guilty of

Things that should be mentioned
-his music and how much it impacted the world
-and how shocking his death is

[Mocha.]

this is so unreal...

[RockBandRocker]

I totally agree.

It's pathetic. Some people only care about themselves.

Yeah.

The More You Know

[zack10house]

I've never been a fan, but I'm literally shaking, I just can't comprehend this. It's huge loss for the music industry. I can't even begin to imagine what those of you that were fans are feeling right now, because the feeling's pretty intense

That's the video for Liberian Girl. I've actually got my tv tuned to MTV for the first time in years (literally).

[Mocha.]

Also, people on this forum sicken me. The man just died, and y'all wonder about f**king DLC songs! :mad:

and download content as a f***ing tribute to him gosh..... this game is called ROCK band not POP band so Michael on there is a tribute...

[Drum Roll Plz]

[arniejolt]

I would feel more sad about this if he hadn't turned into Wacko-Jacko...so I've come to Bury Michael Jackson, not praise him...

Entertainer Michael Jackson has died after being taken to a hospital on Thursday after suffering cardiac arrest, according to multiple reports including the Los Angeles Times and the Associated Press. CNN has not confirmed his death.

Jackson, 50, had been in a coma at the hospital, sources told CNN.

Brian Oxman, a Jackson family attorney, said he was told by brother Randy Jackson that Michael Jackson collapsed at his home in west Los Angeles, California, Thursday morning.

Family members were told of the situation and were either at the hospital or en route, Oxman said.

Fire Capt. Steve Ruda told CNN a 911 call came in from a west Los Angeles residence at 12:21 p.m.

Ruda said Jackson was treated and transferred to the UCLA Medical Center.

Asked specifics of the patient's condition, he said he could not discuss them because of federal privacy laws.

[Oscar-Rio]

are you kidding me? how stupid can you be?

[timmay9]

Arnie, a little late. :(

[Mystlyfe77]

Arnie, I know it's your "thing" to post articles from other sites. But this isn't needed when you can clearly see MULTIPLE TOPICS about this on the front page.

[DeadPhoenix223]

yeah, sorry arnie, we all kinda found out an hour ago :(
but your still cool

[RockBandRocker]

Did anybody else ever get to go on the Captain EO (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Captain_EO) attraction at Disneyland?

It was freaking AWESOME. It's a shame it's not there anymore.

[BRKNSHDW]

[Mex]

Lock it up!

[Cubecubed]

heh...the level of peoples immaturity astounds me....

[arniejolt]

are you kidding me? how stupid can you be?

Actually how stupid CNN can be...well, well see in a few hours if this is legit or not.

Though, as you can see, I'm not really broken up over this mostly because for a time Michael Jackson brought Peace and Justice to the Music World...before he turned white...before he became Wacko-Jacko...

[Rockbandfan23467]

N B 4 Lock.

He has a medical condition that made him turn white, and he was acquitted of all "wacko" charges.

Yeah, I went when I was pretty young - 10 or 12 I think.

Agreed. I was 5 when Thriller first came out and my parents used to play that record for me all the time. It was the first album I fell in love with.

As a little kid and a Michael Jackson fan I made my mom take me to see that show every time I went to Disneyland. It was awesome.

[arniejolt]

If you want to be specific about it, the other thread was titled 'Michael Jackson had a Heart Attack.' That title doesn't mention anything about his death.

you're a moron.

[/thread]

[Alright_Computer]

But only becuase of who he is.

Not quite. The evidence just wasn't there, and the kid who accused him was caught on tape saying that he was doing it for the money.

[Mex]

Titles can be changed, by MODS. You didn't need to start a new thread especially since the thread you mentioned is fine for discussing his death.

[Mystlyfe77]

If you want to be specific about it, the other thread was titled 'Michael Jackson had a Heart Attack.' That title doesn't mention anything about his death.

And if you want to READ you can see that it only took a few posts for it to come to light. And that multiple other threads in both the General forum and other sections were closed for being duplicates.

Arnie, you made a mistake. Just admit it.

[BuRn7 CaK3]

If you want to be specific about it, the other thread was titled 'Michael Jackson had a Heart Attack.' That title doesn't mention anything about his death.

So, It's very easy for you to post the news in there too. Just to be official. But it was said a couple hours ago that he did pass away. So yes, you are late, and yes, this thread is pointless. Since there is another thread for it.

[Rockbandfan23467]

Not quite. The evidence just wasn't there, and the kid who accused him was caught on tape saying that he was doing it for the money.

Which time?

[Nuff_Said]

damn R.I.P

i blame the media for painting a picture of himself in his mind, and then twisting it out of focus.

[DeadPhoenix223]

anyways, RIP

[RockBandRocker]

I'm not to proud to admit this, but the video for "Thriller" scared the s**t out of me the first time I saw it.

Now, I look at it and it's freaking cool.

[C-Weiner]

wow R.I.P

[Alright_Computer]

Which time?

Um, the only time?


If you want to be specific about it, the other thread was titled 'Michael Jackson had a Heart Attack.' That title doesn't mention anything about his death.

But there were also multiple threads on the front page that did say Michael Jackson is dead in the title that were locked.

[Ferocious Q]

Billie Jean would be sooo kick ass in RB!

[Zidane]

I'm not to proud to admit this, but the video for "Thriller" scared the s**t out of me the first time I saw it.

Now, I look at it and it's freaking cool.

That video had amazing production, it was almost just like a horror movie, I was a little scared, but since it was one of my favorite songs I was okay with the video.

[pinhead5700]

Wasn't expecting this. RIP

[ExpertDrummer]

Wow...I dont know what to say... he is definitely a TRUE icon. A dancing, singing legend that nobody can compete with. I remember when I was young, dancing to his songs, this is just terrible. Rest In Peace Michael... never... ever gonna forget you.

Now, this is going to be everyones topic at my school. Its going to be like a spreading disease and going to be talked by people who dont know who he is and only knows "Thriller" or "Beat It" because its been played a buh-GILLIAN times(not saying you guys) or is on GH:WT and Michael will also get trashed by those a*sholes who are going to say,"Good hes dead." Fu*k those people.

R.I.P Michael Jackson
