The Discussion of MJ's Unreleased Tracks

It's just bizarre that there was all this hype of Buffalo Bill before the album was released (by the media and MJ himself) and then at last second, it got pulled; for most likely Be Not Always.
He might've been very cautious about the lyrics also. He might've decided that the song was "too violent".
 
So Demo 1984. And finished version 2001? How do we know it exists?

It would be awesome. Imo one of the best demo tracks with so much potential.
Not, finished, just redid. It's in Rodney Jerkins Production Catalogue.

As it is, is Cheater actually finished, lyrically? Would this be one of those songs Damien claims is "complete nonsense"?
 
I'd say a lot of it is not final lyrics, seems he has an idea but nothing finalised.
It seems like they've put out a lot of songs with "nonsense lyrics" and it doesn't matter. So stuff like Dark Lady and Rocker might be more appealing than Damien would have us believe.

I thought the "snippet" we had was fake?
Since when does a fake snippet mean anything?
 
new tweet from Bill:

I heard Cheater again yesterday. Credits and dates on various sites do not match what I was thinking.
Sites say outtake from Westake/Quincy sessions for Bad.
I can not hear that. At all.
Somebody should reach out to Greg
'85 is what I'm thinking. Soundcastle. Michael, Greg, I hear Paul Jackson Jr. on guitar, I hear my console and the glass entry room on "cheater" BG vocals and claps, I hear my mix.

Not finished lyrically and I'd say placeholder lyrics. The idea was there but it wasn't fleshed out all the way. This is the song I think Stevie should've been on
MJs placeholder lyrics really don't always seem any different than his "finished" lyrics sometimes.

Really, I am very interested in hearing "Rocker" with its placeholder lyrics now.
 
Full version is online:
The vocals are pretty good. But, it's not perfect.

For now, while AI is still in its infancy, the instruments and mixing style will give away the fakery of these creations. I don't know how long that will last though.
