We aren't owed everything y'know. Not everything HAS to be heard. We have to appreciate that we get to hear these tracks at all. Leaks are inherently bad because they're done without permission, and the method of obtaining tracks is almost surely illegal.
Well now that I 100% agree with. I'd rather have releases over leaks, but songs like SW '87 and V2 of Blue Gangsta may never be released for one reason or another. Life is too short for us to enjoy everything. Being able to have what we can have just makes it all the better. The songs that are finished that are unleaked/released I would rather not have leak and released instead, but considering its been 10 years since the last album and no plans in the near future, you cant blame people for leaking them. Besides, its their choice
Oh yeah totally. Its a HUGE privilege that all these leak. I never take them for granted.
Tell that to Teddy Riley and (supposedly) Brad Sundberg. Also didn't the estate grant the guys who found the Loren Storage permission to sell the tapes?
It's not the estate's call to decide what to to do with those tapes.
But they asked them if they could sell and the estate told them yes?
Just Good Friends is a good song, but it would be EVEN better with someone else on it. As a Michael song on Bad, its okay. I feel like had Streetwalker '87 been fully finished (which we don't know for sure if it is, the leak is seemingly a WIP version of it), it would've fit better on the album, but that's a debate that gets talked about to the death lol
cause they have no control over those tapes, except the copyrights.
Exclusively by you yeah, lol
what's with the hostility?
I said it with no hostility My guy. Apologies if it came off that way
Someone who truly understands nothing
I'm perfectly willing to put you on as editor so I can see exactly what to remove and what to overhaul.
I never once claimed to, nor do I really want to at this point.
Actually, you don't want Dark Lady. You think you like it based on a heavily edited snippet. It's really not that great. It might be the next GYWOOM.
GWYOOM is better sped up. It’s an outtake for sure, but it isn’t bad, it was just overhyped
Exactly, plus the sources are all legit, not much isn’t made up on there. You just gotta do your research and the tracker makes much more sense… if you don’t believe it’s sources
It’s ok, no worries. I have a hard time understanding tone and social cues due to my condition
Then stop yapping and making assumptions about things you don’t understand
Yet you never actually give examples to support your claim/opinion
Anything that isn't 100% confirmed is labelled as "Rumored". Tracker is as reliable as it gets for a one stop shop on MJ unreleased information. The only outright fake song that I've removed since I joined was "Be Me 4 A Day", all dates, years, and bios are correct, if anyone has questions or suggested corrections please shoot me or another editor a dm.
Isn't John credited on Dangerous? He never said there was another version besides the one that was discarded from Bad. If there was additional work on the track, they were probably playing around with production and ODs.
more than likely, given what little has been done as per Bottrell's session calender.
Likely around the time they made the move from Westlake to Record One.
It's more so with Damien's comments that gets me interested. He said that out of all the songs he listened at the Copyright Office, he picked "Dark Lady", "Rocker", and "Remember What I Told You" as his favorites and said that fans would love those. So far he was right about 2 of those, so I've high hopes for "Dark Lady".
What was it that you didn't like about the song? I don't really have any expectations for the vocals since it's a scratch vocal take, but how's the composition like?
