Michael Jackson 2 BAD Original Studio Multitracks (Listening Session & Analysis)

[@chrisliepe]

MJ's copyright owners will allow this video to remain on youtube but there must be consistent use of frequent stops. No one part of the the song in part or in whole can be played without frequent interruptions. This is partially why I stop and comment and sing during and after key sections that I play. If I just play the files, the video will be taken down. Presenting the files in this format with this kind of flow cements the FAIR USE intent which is why it can remain up on KZbin. Along these lines, I can not reveal where or link to the source files or I'll get a takedown notice as well. Giving away content that is not mine to give also falls outside of FAIR USE intent. Thanks for understanding and for enjoying the video! I'm excited for you to hear all the wonderful nuances!

[@SubhansVault]

Just the fact that Michael passed away 13 years ago and recorded this song some 25 years ago, and we are "Studying" his music, learning, appreciating and getting inspired by each and every track of ad-libs which probably he recorded mindlessly within a span of a few seconds, entirely new generation of musicians and artists are getting inspired by him including me. Not sure if any other artist of today's generation (no disrespect to anyone) will be having this kind of impact after decades and decades. "Greatest education in the world is to watch and study the masters at work", he said, yes Michael, we are doing that right now. Chris, Thanks a lot for doing this.

[@celsodacruz5801]

The legend never dies. Forever Michael

[@jacksonporciuncula]

I've always been fascinated to get to know this creative side of Michael, and I've been studying it for a long time. The little I learned was by copying his genius. The big leap for me was the hearing ability that increased enormously. Today I'm stuck with music production, but I'm always looking at how people are discovering their genius, after a long time.

[@realamericannegro977]

Nah he didn't record many things mindlessly in a span of a few seconds. He works on his tracks like a blacksmith and refine it over and over till he achieves what he wants.

People laugh at me when i say Michael Jackson was underrated as an artist, but it's true. So much of what Michael did just gets lost and relegated to 'pop star', and it's infuriating when you know he was far beyond that. He never ceases to amaze me.

Mike is music straight up. Mike was soul r&b hip hop, rock, heavy metal, blues. He had every element in his music not to mention his directing and producing abilities

[@virgilblaze9090]

@@realamericannegro977 I find the further you explore an artists discography, you get a complete picture of their range and vocal capabilities. To those who haven't delved into Michael's work extensively, it's easier for them to be dismissive or critical as they've only listened to 2% of his 40+ years as an artist. What he accomplished in that time is hard to explain in words.

Incredible !!

[@alannakennedy5779]

Unlike anything I've ever heard! A walking jukebox - perfect way to describe him!

[@b00ts4ndc4ts]

This is how he would demo his songs, so all these so called demo's out there are just different takes in the studio. Most of the time he would beat box into a tape recorder. Although I have heard one with Janet Jackson playing glass bottles on one song on the off the wall album

We all are focused on Michael Jackson,and it's normal. He was a genius. But I'd like to say "Shout out to another Genius" that is Chris. The way he explains all those things to us is just incredible. He puts all his energy in order to make us understand all about the process...

[@mira4724]

I can and will not say it enough. Michael Joseph Jackson is the best artist ever in every way. Because Michael lived through his job. And his job wasn’t just singing, songwriting and dancing. It was art, emotion, messages, paint, poetry, and trying to make a change. He broke racial barriers back then, he united and still united every generation with his art and leaves messages for every generation to come. It’s my opinion.

[@ЛаураКубайдулла]

Period! ❤

[@TravisPayne1]

Amen

[@b00ts4ndc4ts]

A sonic artist who could paint pictures though his music, at times.

[@ikerina]

People underestimated Michael as a musician just because he didn't play instruments. Those who worked with him said that he had the melody/the riff/the beat etc in his head. He usually made demo of the songs he wrote by beatboxing to everything, commanded everything that should be done by the instrumentalist. That's how he overcame his limitation. People just want to follow what the media say to undermine his talent as a musician (and to bully him heartlessly). Only those with clear minds and no hatred will appreciate his real talent.

[@EricSmith-jo1lt]

Bro Michael could play instruments... he could play the guitar. Bt where he's best is piano. Ofc no one's saying he's Prince. Bt he definitely has his OWN category as an artist. And I'll tell you another great asset to MJ... his ability to create Top quality music all without bring able to read it.... he said it'll ruin his arrangement process, the CREATIVE process!!! WHOA BRO...

[@fatimadarwish-gv2er]

I would say he is the collaborative director, composer and arranger for all his work, but I wouldn't say he's a musician if he isn't playing the instruments. He certainly isn't on quincy jones level when it comes to the music.

[@geetraldinha]

​@@fatimadarwish-gv2er Michael never wanted to be in Quincy level anyway. He had his own limitation but he wrote, composed, produced, he performed his music. He's a musician.

[@chazbayley]

The more impressive part is that those beats he’s making vocally was where the track started, it wasn’t added later. This formed the basis of everything the producers had to follow and jackson would have layered this on tape before writing his vocal melodies and eventually lyrics

[@joepepsico342]

You can hear the aggressive energy that he gave to this song, like no other recorded MJ track. Given what he went through in terms of being falsely accused, the anger is definitely there. I believe MJ was on his way to a second string of #1 pop album hits, but came to a halt when someone clearly wanted him dead. Too many odd circumstances surrounding his untimely death.

[@Hayatt1]

This made me smile all the way through.... this s one of my all time fav of him... the genius of Michael will never be duplicated. He was everything.

[@MuffinTM]

I'm pretty sure I've watched every single one of these listening sessions of Michael's music and every time I'm astounded. I know how insanely complex his music was and yet it all functions like clockwork. I am starting to understand that Michael probably didn't have all of these tracks in his head all at once when these songs popped into his head, he just improvised and built off all the sounds, he is an improviser just like you said in this video.

[@EricSmith-jo1lt]

And the craziest part about it is.... he did that with ALL the Hot Damn songs he wrote, even the slower ballads to classical like "Childhood". I read somewhere that he sung, creating an ENTIRE fkn arrangement right before the eyes of other "musicians", producers, writers, all just simply tryna capture him in his element, they couldn't believe it. AND all the while not being able to READ music... and able STILL hit every note in its proper fashion. He said it himself, he doesn't read because he feels it'll ruin the entire arrangement.... The way he's hearing it, IN HIS HEAD!!! WHOA, BRO... His fkn creative process was, unlike anything I've ever felt or seen. I can't think of ANY artist that can pull this off. We HAVE no choice bt to shed light on something that's been right under folks noses for all these years in Michael Jackson. Have to give credit where it belongs
