TBH, I really wish the sax wasn't on the song. Was it on the original version or was it bought in by John McClain?
The rest of the song sounds so contemporary but the sax solo really ages it. Who has a sax solo in 2010?
yay, Matty, welcome back!

I kind of agree, although part of me really loves it. Torn.

^ Agreed. I like the solo, but it doesn't fit with the current sound of today's pop
Then you mean you don't want MJ to be fitting in with the sound of today's current music, because you think it's crap.All i can say about that is THANK GOD! We don't want MJ to be fitting in with the sound of today's current music because i think it's just crap.
MJ needs to distance himself from today's mainstream music sound as much as possible
This is a short bit from 'For the record' about Behind the mask:
Original instrumental version recorded by Yellow Magic Orchestra for their 1979 album. Quincy Jones heard it during the Thriller sessions. Michael recorded it and added an extra melody line and some extra lyrics. They wanted to split the royalties. But Chris Mosdell (writer of the original song) said that was impossible. You can't take a Beatles song and add a melody line, a few more lyrics and ask for 50%.
Legal battles meant Michael's version didn't make his THriller album and remains unreleased.
Reading this ofcourse I checked the credits on the album and it says written by Michael Jackson, Chris Mosdell and Ryuichi Sakamoto (original writer as well). And then it says: Behind the mask contains a sample of the recording Behing the Mask as performed by Yellow Magic Orchestra.
Well that's another way to put it hahaha. Wonder how the royalties go now......

I think the sax solo is the best part
So, I guess I'm old fasionned cause I really love this sax. Imo this song is just perfect.
