I got serious goosebumps when he told his Michael Jackson meeting story, segments like this should get shared on tiktok lol

I don’t know why I neglected this thread so far, I have to go back and listen to all of it.

first the knocking on the door before the guitar solo, now this..
it’s amazing how the little unplanned accidents ended up making the final cut on ‘beat it’

The organ at 6m 25s

The organ at 6m 25s

And from there it moves into 6m 27s - 6m 43s. I'm trying to find the right word. Epic? Heavenly? Can't even find the right emoji. That whole section is definitely heart-shaking.

It was interesting to find out that Rod wanted Cassandra Peterson (Elvira) to do the voice over but, nah, Vincent Price was absolutely the right choice, imo.
