Paul Jackson Jr. is a first-call musician for a reason and one of the best on earth!!!! Paul's mother must have had incredible instincts about his musical career!!!! AMAZING!!!!!

[@MoveUpMedia]

Paul’s parts are so clean and tight. Dude is like a machine.

[@MarcoRaaphorst]

yeah Paul is one of my favorite guitar players. he's insanely good on Negative Girl by Steely Dan as well together with Dean Parks. bubbling and grooving hard.

[@Behnan]

Paul plays the guitar and speak about it, as if they recorded Thriller last week...so wonderful. You guys should bring together all the people involved and talk with Quincy Jones about it... that would be a true KZbin Perle. EVERY MUSICIAN on this planet would watch that... perhaps you can manage to finally mix some of the demos who weren't published yet... damn that would make an album I would buy instantly ... with all the instruments of that era, and the session players... Bruce Swedien can't be replaced, but it would be still a BIG THING....Thriller 2

[@KyMalveaux]

That was great! Rest in peace John Barnes and Lamont Dozier

10:50 ... so funky! And he plays it with so much attack haha ... marvelous!

[@robotArn]

My only complaint is we need more! Amazing interviews all around.

[@cesarvaldez112975]

This is fantastic! This is what KZbin was really meant for.👍

[@Singerman11]

Should we see any interview with Steve Lukather about his contribution to this album in the near future ?

[@maha77]

*True Confession:* I remember when I bought Thriller at the tail end of 1982 that I loved it so much I even loved how it smelled. There was some special ink or something they used on the cover and sleeve that it had such a unique smell, and I associated that smell with Thriller ~ and always loved it, I still remember how it smelled. That makes me think - whomever is running this channel, you should try to interview some of the people who designed the album cover/sleeve/photographers, that would be interesting to hear !

[@________2705]

"I absolutely can" ... gotta love that answer

[@mondingo67]

Paul is an underrated guitar player. The guy is a rhythm machine! It is a toss up between him and Nile Rodgers.

We are going to release the long form soon !!

[@jimbotron70]

The guitar riff on Beat It is simply epic, on par with Van Halen's Jump.

[@dlgnlwls84]

The riff both guitar and bass of Beat it was written and played by Steve Lukather.

[@robertolucca1834]

Lukather was all over beat it (and is credited for it); except for the solo. What did PJJr played on it ? I'm a bit confused.

[@msoileau83]

The muted funky rhythm stuff?

[@jaycareaga9929]

@@msoileau83 Watch the Vertex effects channel interview with Paul Paul tells Mason he plays the main riff.

Jeff Porcaro on Beat it! Studio Masters was on Beverly or Melrose.

[@GabrielErikAlexmarski]

Wie cool

[@MrAliBey]

👏👏👏👏👏

[@vhollund]

Hello ! Where can i find the full interviews?

[@IRIDEHARLEYS]

I'm confused.. The interviews that I've seen - Steve Lukather says that Quincy Jones brought him in and he (Luke) played the guitar parts for Beat It except for the Eddie Van Halen solo. What part(s) did Paul play on Beat It?

[@musician069]

I hope i can answer this. Sooooo the original “Beat it” track had Paul on it. The story Steve said he was brought in because they were trying to splice Eddie’s solo with the original track and it got screwed up. Nothing synced. So Quincy was freaking out and Jeff Porcaro and Steve had to recreate the track. Steve playing bass and guitar and Jeff the drums. To match Eddie’s solo and the rest is history. Im sure you knew all this. But I think Paul must have played on the original tracking of Beat It.

[@sants.guitar]

My parents drove me to my first gigs too

[@jaglovergt1]

I hope you guys bring in my old friend Benjamin Wright

[@tinagriffith500]

What about Eddy Van Halen ?

[@daanfischer9816]

Wait but who did actualy play beat it ? Steve lukather or paul jackson?

[@msoileau83]

Both.

[@msoileau83]

They are both credited with Luke also playing bass. Listen to it. There are 3 guitar parts at least.
