Michael Jackson - Beat It

[BrickDaniels]

This song would be awesome to play in RB. I would absolutely love to have it in the game. Sure, the drums and bass aren't too tough, but they'd be interesting to play at least, and a solo provided by Eddie Van Halen is a good thing any way you slice it. Plus, who wouldn't want to sing Michael Jackson? Exactly.

Come on, HMX. You know you want to do it!

I completely agree - it has a good beat, bass would be way better than on a bunch of songs in the game already, and the guitar solo is sweet. Yeah, the drums would be a bit boring, but they've already got a bunch of boring drums songs, so whatever. And it would be the best song to sing in the game, by far.

He is a ******ed rapist, NO WAY.

But this song is pretty cool, when Fall Out Boy covered it!

I'd rather have the original version.

He is an emotionally stunted accused rapist, not a ******ed one. But that's beside the point.

Gonna have to say that Fall Out Boy version pales to the original, but that's just my opinion. If they were going to add some truly pop music, this would be one of the first songs on my list.

Oh, and another thread on the same topic:

Beat it is one of my favorite songs ever and I've wanted this since GH1.

and seriously, screw fall out boy. I don't tend to put down other bands, but come on... you have one of the most iconic songs in American pop and you're bringing up some here today gone tomorrow Emo band.

Please, the original.

[BrickDaniels]

I think the vast majority of players would want the original... Beat It is an American masterpiece. Let's make this happen!

[HyeJinx1984]

I'd go as far as to say that Dirty Diana and Black or White would also be good, make it a Jackson 3-Pack

And by the way, I've only heard one rock cover of an MJ song that I though was anywhere above decent, and that's the Alien Ant Farm version of Smooth Criminal.

Beat It would be pretty fun, but if it was announced, I would be more excited about being one step closer to Beatles DLC since Michael Jackson is the one who controls the rights for many of those songs.

[tekturbo]

Beat It, hell yeah! It would be one of the biggest sellers for sure..Even if just for nostalgic purposes.

[JJuggler]

I'd take Beat It, but I really want Annie are you OK?

[Tzacharu]

Plus, who wouldn't want to sing Michael Jackson?.


Is that a joke? Lol.

No thanks, not much of a Michael Jackson fan.

Also known as Smooth Criminal.

Yes this would be an awesome song to have on RB. Michael Jackson is one of my favorite singers. I would put this song towards the top of my list for RB2. Also there are other MJ songs that would also be a great asset to the game.

[Timiswright]

How could you NOT want the 3-pack? Eddie Van Halen, Slash, Steve Stevens and pop legend Michael Jackson. Who would pass that up?

I 2nd that vote for Beat It, Black or White and Dirty Diana pack.

Oh and Fall Out Boy sucks.

[BrickDaniels]

Yeah, I think the licensing would be the hardest part, but if they can do it, then HMX definitely should. I would absolutely love to have this song in game.
