Life long Metal guy here as well but there are certain artists who transcend genres and are in a league all their own: Michael Jackson and David Bowie are the two who always spring to mind as examples. The kinds of people you can never recreate no matter how hard you tried.

Mj always had a vision. I believe he payed for all his short films from his own pocket. This short film still holds up today especially the zombie element. The Vincent price element was genius in itself. Choreography unmatched. No one ever mentions it but MJ and Ola's chemistry in this is excellent. Mj was a phenomenon. Absolutely devastating loss to the world.

[@CCIm-nz3vq]

Ghouls NOT Zombies !!!! He even Sings it in Thriller !!!

[@MichaelScheele]

Movie director John Landis directed the music video for "Thriller". He had directed "Animal House," "The Blues Brothers," and "An American Werewolf in London". It was one of the most expensive music videos ever made. It is iconic. Michael Jackson's "Thriller" (1982) is the best selling album of all time. It was a cultural phenomenon. In the 1980s, no one was bigger than Michael Jackson in popular music; hence his nickname, "The King of Pop." Each year, a number of cities in the United States have a "Zombie Walk" where people dress like zombies and dance like Michael Jackson did in the "Thriller" music video. The voiceover toward the end of the song featured the voice of Vincent Price, an actor who starred in thrillers (now called horror movies) from the late 1930s into the 1980s.

[@chrisd7047]

I live in Louisville. There is a zombie walk every year.

*FUN FACT:* The spoken word part at the end was voiced by none other than the legendary Vincent Price. Of course at the end of it in the radio edit, you hear the truly bone-chilling evil, cackling laughter of Price. Very few other things can give me chills and goosebumps than that. *😨😳*

[@MsTruthseeker999]

This song was absolutely HUGE!!! Everybody watched the premiere, MJ was no doubt the most popular artist at this time and further on...and in my humble opinion he looked his best in this era and wasn't so harassed by the music industry or the paparazzi.

We didn't have Mtv in Brazil at the time, but it was national released at the most important tv show at a sunday night. The whole country was watching and everybody couldn't talk about anything else for a long time. Every teen knew the moves and coreography, people was dancing this everywhere, at the clubs, schools and streets. Later when he came here to record They don't care about us, was a unmatched comotion to this day. MJ was the king for a reason. He still relevant to this day and always will. The way he inpired people and show a lot of regard toward his fans, exceded his position as an artist and put him on another level.

[@Milkers777]

Don´t forget that at that time, people were doing videos while standing in front of a wall singing, just nothing and suddenly Mike comes with THIS. And also, there was no internet. You had to wait till they played it on tv. And kids were missing school to see the premiere of it on MTV. Even in the 90´s, when MJ released a video, it was on evening main news, like CNN, BBC news, not Entertainment TV News. Back then there wasn´t this celebrity culture we have today, where you get regular "news" on celebrities this truly The Greatest Music Video Of All Time! Long Live The King Of Music Michael Joseph Jackson Forever!😇🙌🏽👑❤️🔥✨(Please React to Michael Jackson “Stranger In Moscow” Music Video)

Didn't matter if you were a metalhead, rapper, country music singer, etc. everyone seemed to gravitate toward his talent. And it was because of songs like this. Thriller was a mega hit when it released. Still is. It literally is as iconic of a song as it gets. And everyone recognizes the dance ;)

Thriller the single was released in Europe late in '83 and in the US in early '84. It was Michael's pride and joy, he put a lot of his own money into the production of the video. I was nine when it came out and I remember how much of an impact it had on music lovers of all genres. Mtv was relatively young and actually played music videos...gasp! Thriller took center stage and became an instant sensation! Can't remember exactly how many weeks it remained number one but it was forever, no one could touch it! Those were Michael's glory days and he couldn't seem to miss on a song. No matter what your style of music was, everyone loved Michael!! Kids everywhere were break dancing in those days, listening to all things Michael Jackson. P.Y.T(Pretty Young Thing), Beat It and Thriller were all over the radio, being recorded to cassettes and played on every boom box! Awesome memories!!

It's hard to put into words at how incredible this video was. MTV was still new, as was cable TV, and VCR's would cost in excess of $200 and weighed around 10 pounds. MTV would announce throughout the day at what time the video would premiere along with the following times you could watch it. I grew up in Gary, Indiana (Michael Jackson's hometown) and remember my uncle picking up me and 2 of my sisters to go to his house and watch the Thriller video, which was going to premiere and he was also recording it on his VCR, which was my first time seeing one up close.

That's incorrect. It debuted on Friday Night Videos ONLY. I saw it that very night it was shown. It was promoted by Friday Night Videos a few weeks before it came out.

This was very big at the time it came out in 1983 (December '82). Jackson was a big pop star, but this album was at number 1 on the charts of sales for 9 months straight. That was unheard of (I don't think it has ever been beaten...or maybe ever will. Back then, people generally bought whole albums, not just the songs they liked, but really every song on the album was pretty good to great. Thriller, Beat It, Billie Jean, Human Nature, PYT (Pretty Young Thing), Wanna Be Startin Something, The Girl Is Mine (with Paul McCartney), all are pretty well remembered and many albums had one or three good songs. This video was in particular a big deal because it was the first major release to have a good budget and a lot of eefort put into it. Usually videos were kinda boring before Thriller.

[@ccrider327591]

It's hard to explain the importance of this video. Even though it's not my typical genre, this video changed music videos forever. Not an ultra MJ fan but there's just no way to deny the fact that his music and vision literally changed the world of music. They brought in Vincent Price, who is a horror movie legend to add to the special effects and incredible dance moves. (for it's time) It's become an iconic video that's lasted four decades already. Love him or hate him, MJ and Thriller was a "game changer".

Amazing back in the 80s and always loved Vincent price's narration part and evil laugh

[@thedevilsreject23]

Biggest selling album of all time is how popular and big this was, people had never seen a music vid like it and the song was infectious with the dance moves

As someone who lived through most of his lifetime I will say that it is sometimes hard to view MJ the musician and performer alongside the various weird and tragic things that were happening behind the scenes and later in his life. I think that his music and performance will firmly eclipse everything else over the longer stretch of time.

still rank #1 sales for the album Thriller (67 millions), album release in 1982, the video 1983

[@TacticalSandals]

It was very VERY popular on MTV. Back when the M stood for Music.

This came out in 1982 when MTV was just exploding. To say that this was a huge hit is an understatement.

What's so awesome about Thriller it's like a horror movie element combined with a music video absolutely genius for MJ to come up with that concept

As much as I'm loving your first reaction I'm also sitting here thinking how have you never seen this video before.

There are no words to describe how important Michael Jackson and his songs were to pop music and to so many young people. He shaped pop music. The song "Thriller" comes from his debut album of the same name as a solo artist in 1983. He was previously part of the "Jackson Five". It was very difficult for him as a child and he suffered a lot from his father. I don't think he could get over that in his life. Michael Jackson was a unique, highly talented artist. What pleases me is that even today many young people are still enthusiastic about his music.

Love your reaction to this song! I remember when "Thriller" first came out. It was the coolest song released in 1984 as a single and the album was released in 1982. There was nothing else out there like it at the time and this song was playing all the time. There's a violinist by the name of Lindsey Stirling who was 2 yrs old at the time "Thriller" was released and she came to liking this song so much that when she became an artist herself many years later that she wanted to write a song along the same style as Michael Jackson's song and she wrote this one, its an instrumental with dancing. "Moon Trance" (2016) kzbin.info/www/bejne/ZpXJi2x4jcaBr6c and a few days ago released "Snow Waltz" kzbin.info/www/bejne/j3rUhHmklpaFirs

Thriller was so popular when it was released that my church's youth group actually held a viewing party for this video. Maybe they hoped to be there to save our souls afterwards; I don't know, but I definitely remember it. The 80's was the greatest ...

Such a sweet and honest reaction, big Hug, and congrats that U discover Mr. Jackson. All the best! Big hug
