To my knowledge the music video version of Bad is just an early version of the song, Michael started filming his short films before he even finished the songs themselves, this was also the case with Smooth Criminal (we have footage in which we can hear MJ and the other dancers are actually dancing to an earlier version of the song lol)So I know that Streetwalker has 2 other Ver. and DBMR has like a gazillion, but do songs like Price of Fame have another Version? I think I heard somewhere it did. Also, was the Ver. of Bad in the music vid recorded especially for the music video? And if so, is it in the archives with the Jimmy Smith Solo?
Wait really? I know theres a demo of smooth criminal but not an al capone demo lolIsn't there a version of Al Capone that we haven't heard?
There's a version with Roger Troutman on it that hasn't been heard.Wait really? I know theres a demo of smooth criminal but not an al capone demo lol
Oh, vocals or more instruments?There's a version with Roger Troutman on it that hasn't been heard.

The guitar in the end was more prominent in the song?I pretty sure it was guitar he added to it, I'm not 100 percent sure though.
Just to be clear I'm talking about Al Capone, not Smooth Criminal.The guitar in the end was more prominent in the song?
From what I heard, PoF's final version was produced by Quincy, but its somewhere in his archives I thinkThere's also a more complete version of PoF but I don't know much about that one, someone else can answer this with more detail.
I'll always question the Estate for not releasing the most up-to-date version of demos, they've done the same thing for plenty of songs on Xscape and Thriller 40.From what I heard, PoF's final version was produced by Quincy, but its somewhere in his archives I think
Estate releases songs that are literally demos, minus a fewI'll always question the Estate for not releasing the most up-to-date version of demos, they've done the same thing for plenty of songs on Xscape and Thriller 40.
Yeah but why wouldn't they go for the most complete version of the demo? It makes no sense for them to go for the inferior version. It's like if MJ released the 1979 demo of WBSS on Thriller instead of the complete version.Estate releases songs that are literally demos, minus a few

It would be so amazing to hear that version of PoF.From what I heard, PoF's final version was produced by Quincy, but its somewhere in his archives I think
I think the Pepsi Ver. Is the same session, Quincy mixed I later though I may be wrongHas there been confirmation that a "final" version exists? The pepsi version of the track just sounds the exact same apart from different vocals does it not?
Probably because the Estate and Quincy still are on bad terms.Yeah but why wouldn't they go for the most complete version of the demo? It makes no sense for them to go for the inferior version. It's like if MJ released the 1979 demo of WBSS on Thriller instead of the complete version.
Is that really true? There's multiple Quincy tracks that got released on T40 iircProbably because the Estate and Quincy still are on bad terms.
only like 3 lolIs that really true? There's multiple Quincy tracks that got released on T40 iirc
Still counts lolonly like 3 lol
Still counts lol
You can thank Michael's and Quincy's philosophy of "B-Sides are for p*****s" for that lolSomehow I don't think we'll know the full extent of how many tracks received Quincy's final polishing until after he passes, which is very sad. It's also a shame we couldn't have enjoyed songs like Hot Street, Nightline and Carousel back in 1983 by having them included as b-sides on some of the Thriller singles. Eg, Billie Jean/Hot Street; Beat It/Nightline; Human Nature/Carousel. It's a shame we have to wait decades to hear these songs when we could have enjoyed them back in the 80s.
They were all cleared for release years ago.Is that really true? There's multiple Quincy tracks that got released on T40 iirc
Has the feud been going for that long? I thought it started after LN.Probably because the Estate and Quincy still are on bad terms.
