Michael Jackson Dies

[GAAN]

I overheard some 20 somethings the other day on the shuttle bus to the airport lament that "Clapton is overrated as a guitarist."

W T F ! ! !

I would agree he is way overrated as a singer

and

his social life would make for a great reality show

but

as a picker than man is a gawd

hey its cool man but you're definitely in the minority.
some of the worlds biggest producers, artists , singers, dancers all consider him to be a musical genius and say that he had an influence on them in some way.
his dancing, his beats, his singing, his live performances his videos - all changed music, all ground breaking. it's a fact.
I highly doubt we'll have another artist like him anytime soon.
50/60 and up had their beatles (which to me are gods as well, thats a whole other thread lol) we had our MJ

No he's not. I feel that way and know a shit ton of others that feel the same way about his career and contributions.


Please never make a comparison between the Beatles and Michael Jackson. Don't even make a comparison between MJ and Elvis.


Aren't you aware that MJ bought the rights to the Beetles music out from underneath McCartney?

He really showed a lot of respect there. That really isn't applicable here, though.

I've heard of the Beatles before, but not the beetles.

Wow, what were they thinking? Possibly the greatist guitarist of all time is over-rated? WTF?

Yeah, him and that Van Halen kid. Way overrated. 

[Randimus Maximus]

I think greatest of all time may be a stretch, but clearly they had no clue.

Ugh

this will definitely make me unpopular

but i can't shake the feeling that as weird as Michael Jackson was

I buy the whole thing about him loving children and not in an inappropriate way

the dewd never had a childhood

and

I find it more plausible that a few kids parents put them up to lying for cash

than I do that he was a kiddie toucher

My assumption for this is based off the fact that he was a child star, instantly famous, and remained that way until his death

never having had his feet ever touch the ground and never understanding or even seeing real life

he was unable to perceive that underage kids in your bed was a bad thing

but I guess that the only one who really knows is dead and now the others wont be believed regardless of where the truth lies

[NAKID]

Well, I said possibly. IMO Slash is way up there as well as EVH and Jimmi Hendrix...

Ash thinks that too...

we obviously disagree.

[redxblack]

37 pages ago I noted how MJ changed music for the worse. Visuality and performance took the place of musicality and substance to an unprecedented degree. He and Madonna were both great examples of music industry professionals, but I wouldn't call them artists by any stretch.

I can see that....
