The Discussion of MJ's Unreleased Tracks

He bought Neverland Ranch in 1988 and had no further use for Hayvenhurst. The Westlake sessions and resulting tour took up most of his time anyway so it was largely empty after January 1987. Whenever he did enter the studio pre-June 1989 it was usually through studios others owned (read: Wonderland Recording for Stevie Wonder's "Get It;" Smoketree for the earliest seed for Dangerous and the Streetwalker remix; Ocean Way for Throwin' Your Life Away...possibly).
That definitely makes sense, but it still boggles the mind, especially since he didn’t then build a comparative studio at Neverland. I know it became easier later on when technology advanced and they were able to make portable rigs, but I’m still very surprised at this.
 
Guys I came across something very interesting, I found a video of a fake snippet of Crack Kills, and I found a comment by KingOfAura , in which he says that there is a real snippet out there(???), is he talking about the “you’re such a loser” snippet? Or is he just trolling? I found it odd that he said that on a random fake snippet

By rule of thumb, Michael's main engineers for recording ideas, demos or songs (actual album sessions not taken into account) were from

1979 to 1981 John van Nest
1982 to late spring of '83 Brent Averill
Spring/summer '84 Brian Malouf
post Victory tour to 1997 Matt Forger
1998 to 2009 Michael Prince
 
it's totally weird if you worry about a logo that was changed but when they change his whole music it's fine :D
Music that he comfortably left in the vault for up to 40 years, not even including it on his paper of songs to revist (except maybe a couple)

Versus altering his magnum opus, arguably the greatest piece of art made in the 20th century at least

But okay.
 
That doesn't mean anything and surely isn't an excuse for allowing the Estate to let people "rape" Michael's art.

Exactly...

and if you still do it then at least don't put a documentary out with the producers saying stuff like "when i was in studio i felt that MJ gave me his thumbs up from heaven". At least be honest about shit.
 
Therefore the best part of that documentary was excluded from the DVD.

I recall LA Reid being dismissive of the original demos too, I stopped watching clips after he rubbed me up the wrong way. The arrogance around that release was mad.

For Bad, Michael and his team came up with ideas at Hayvenhurst because they could spend as much time there as they wanted. Westlake was only used to execute the already developed ideas.

For Dangerous, Michael booked out the entirety of Record One and Larrabee studios for a period of almost two years, meaning he and his team had 24/7 access to go in and develop ideas and come up with songs.

So, essentially, the pro studio made the home studio redundant. It’s the reason Dangerous cost so much to produce compared to Bad
