The Discussion of MJ's Unreleased Tracks

To solve many unanswered questions/mysteries regarding 1980s tracks we'll somehow have to get in touch with John van Nest, Brian Malouf and Russ Ragsdale.

And then there's Bill Bottrell, his session calenders and his (hopefully soon to be released) book.

Russ is reachable thru facebook pretty much, a really lovely guy to chat with about Bad. Brian I tried to contact via his website but no luck with that one… not sure for John Van Nest.

Wonder how to reach Matt Forger though. He probably has some calendars that were mentioned to Mike Smallcombe.

I could be wrong, but aren't those that worked with MJ that claimed the "Michael" vocals were real pull back from interacting with fans for... obvious reasons? Greg and Matt are 2 I can think of.

Matt was more “on the fence” in that regard about those vocals, saying he was not 100% certain that it was not Michael, but it could be. That was the gist I got from Faking Michael.

I've asked him few questions some time ago (have to look up when it was; 2 years ago maybe). He didn't reply.

Oh okay. I messaged him last year, and he got back to me within a few days, no problem at all, with some detailed replies on the Bad album etc.
Might be worth trying again I suppose.

Edit: Try not make the questions too exacting as they might think you are info extracting from them, that’s my general advice. Keep it friendly and enthusiastic.

Guys do we know if MJ reworked/completed Rocker after 2005?
And if so, did he plan to finish it after This is it?
Sorry if it has been asked before, but I saw that Damien Shields said that there are other song lists found in MJ bedroom... Hence the question 🤔
