Wilco- show some respect to Michael- he was an artist. Metallica (my second favourite band/ music I listen everytime) has showed some respect to King of Pop- thank you very much! Wilco you, as a fan of metallica, should do the same- don't write bullsh*t if you don't know anything about Jackson except what tabloids are talking about. Michael has changed the music/ music videos. BTW: I'm very happy because Metallica has showed some class- I hope their fans will stop writting stupid coments like "wilco". Michael Jackson- King of Pop 4ever, Metallica- best band in the world!
^shut your filthy whore mouth while wilco is speaking.
Jackson may have made great music, but he was a nutbag, so he gets made fun of. Deal with it and stop getting your thong in a twist a$$hole.
Metallica may have made great music, but they're douchebags, and they're music since the black album has been consistently sh**, so they get made fun of, and insulted at times. Deal with it and stop being an anal retentive buzzkill.
Now Playing: Lamb of God- Beating on Death's Door
so what if michael was bizarre. doesnt make any sense to say that your glad hes dead because he was looney, hes one of the most talented entertainers ever. Rob halford is gay...i dont think youd be glad if he died would you? everyone has there own idiosyncrasies but to say your glad hes dead or making fun of him is just gutless, immature and pathetic. now ppl grow a pair and shut up.
pittsburgh - city of champs!
personally i doubt any one of you would have had anything nice to say about him B4 you knew he died...just like all the a$$holes who would call out dimebag and vinnie doing damageplan then he gets killed and now everyone worships him... i dont get it. now all you can tell me what a a$$ i am and how you have damageplan and mj on repeat on the IPOD.
I've never been into mourning a celebrity and I'm not gonna start with Michael Jackson. I don't care about him one way or another. I'm not gonna cry over his death, but I'm not gonna celebrate it either. And that's where I end on Michael Jackson. However, if you'd like to hear a different kind of tribute, please check out Necro's Michael Jackson song, it's on YouTube
^OZ princess diana?...you had to have mourned on that one, but i see what you mean
^b12 where you been? Still basking in the glow of victory after game7? Im still in shock we won game7...losing scuderi sux though.....cheers to you
Despite MJs personal life of debotchery lets say, the dude sold 750 million records...
Dont wanna be nieve to what he might have done behind closed doors, but i credit the MU just for throwing him a bone...regardless of any genre of music the guy was a music icon world wide...love him or hate him
Nope, I didn't mourn Princess Di. If you want to know the honest truth, I was only p***ed off that she died because I was seven and it interrupted all my cartoons. Looking back on it, she seemed like a lovely woman, but as I say, I was a kid and knew nothing about her, so I'm not gonna get attached.
TOG is spot on
so final cloud
why would i have respect for f***ing nut
first of all because he just write so kids tunes so kids like you can buy it
second dont even speak the word metallica and whats his name in one breath
thirth dont even bring this up on this site its a metal site not a sweet 16 site
well he was on the end just a child molester but if you like that my friend godspeed for you
and just few more days than nobody will remember him
at least we can remember some beter artist who died like dimebag phill lynott rhandy roades
but you have to admit this mj thing gets out of hand
wonder if you are on your way to los angeles
Oz you still da man...i was 18 and i was at the horse track that night when i heard that...i luv the UK man, if i can ever get over my childhood fears of airplanes im there in a heartbeat...till then im fahqed
^29 classic name...why didnt i think of that one.....
B12 that sux bro...keep the faith though..
Flyers suck
Never was a fan of MJ. I remember when I was 4 my parents woke me up for the "Thriller" debut like it was the goddamned moon landing. I remember wondering where the band was too.
To his credit, the riffs were one of a kind. Fun to play too.
Now Playing: Arsis - "Lust Before the Maggots Conquest"
I'm backing Wilco, supastan, Warlock, RM, and TOG on this one. MJ wouldn't give a fvck if any of you fvckers defending him died. Why should I care? Besides, the way he went out was weak as well. If you're going to go out; go out like John Entwistle did. Now that guy knew how to die.
I don't give a sh** that MJ died. I think it's sad that he won't be able to make any more (read: new) music. Heard all of his old stuff before. It's not metal, but it IS fantastic music. You're a deadset fool if you won't listen to it because of the man that made it. MJ was a bit of a nutjob, even without the child molestation accusations (which, by the way, stand as accusations only - he was never convicted). So since I can still listen to the old tunes, the only reason I mourn the man's passing is because now he can't make any more great music.
hey did you guys here mikael jackson died? apparently he ate a 12 year old weiner and got food poisining.lol Im sorry guys i just heard that today and had to post it lol. i dont mind some old jackson stuff. but he aint makin me as upset as i was when dimebag died....
aah soory dudes i am so late for my respose
no internet last night
x man thanks bro
keep some respect for your self before you call somebody a name
so my homo trol friend grow up and get over thsi mj sh**
he was maybe a he made some music
but i hated his sh**
and if yuo like his music please go on a different site
dont keep up our space
on the end he was just a junkie and a pill pusher and a child molester
well to me i could give a rat a$$ if somebody is a junkie but f*** me a child molester
they should die young
np chicken foot down the drain
I could hear "Do You Wanna Go My Way" by Lenny Kravitz at the start and towards the end Michael Jackson's "Beat It" and another Classic "Stone Cold Crazy" which METALLICA often times play in their Concerts. That was great! Nice Tribute there..'thanks for sharing/I liked it.
Wilco you are a virgin, ahahaha. He was a nice filthy rich man, its happened before and will in the future. People try to get money from you, the Macaulay kid said he never touched me, and i believe him. People always want to believe the worst, RIP MJ. And southern bastard, your not a bastard, your just inbred. There is a difference.
aah thanks bro
have been cald many names before but a virgen
did wish a was one again
he might be a nice person
but that what they said about manson as well
but it does not take away that i think he was a freak and a child molester
and the fact that i hated his music
kanadian korn
cool dude at least someone who can make jokes about it like me
^Man, nothing against you, but you need to learn how to spell, bro. Oh, and your grammar and punctuation usage is atrocious. Seriously, I might completely agree with everything you're saying, only I'll never know because I can't read a damned thing you type. Again, nothing against you, just... sheesh. I really, really hope English is not your first language.
English isn't his first language, he's Dutch.
It's pretty silly really that so many people are hating on Wilco because he has an opinion on Michael Jackson. It's not like he's denying the holocaust or anything!
But to keep MJ fans happy. I have a video you might want to see.

x man maybe this english you under stand
back of pile of sh** mother f***er

mj and some kids take a air plain ride the plain got some trouble

but we need to go fast we are going down
mj says what about the kids
the pilot tells him f*** the kids
mj repleys ooo we still got time for that
and by the way if you are a metal dude or girl
if you like metal dont take that mj sh** to real
this is a metal site if you dont like it
get your a$$ to a mj site you can cry as long you want
Wilco: I understand you perfectly. I also agree with Oz, but I think you're getting a kick out of all of this. Cary on you crazy Dutchman! \m/\m/!!!
xman: Suck a D!ck? That's all you got? Fvcking weak man. Go practice in the mirror and come back when you can properly sling sh!t. Fvcking ammature!
Diamond- thanks for clearing that up for me, huge relief, I gotta say.
I probably jumped the gun, it's just that I've seen a LOT of trolls and they all have nothing worth saying and are lacking in the literacy department, so I tend to just associate bad english and insults with idiocy thesedays. People that actually have a legitimate reason for poor English (e.g. the Dutch) can unfortunately be blindsighted into that group. My apologies if I've done that to anyone.
Oh, and for the record, A.C. are hilarious. I have no idea how they would come up with any original material on MJ (let's be honest, the child molestation jokes, with the exception of the rare few, are growing very old very quickly - I swear if I hear that 'so the kids can play with him' one again, I'm gonna pour cement into my ears hahah) but if they could manage it, I'm pretty certain it would be brilliant.
Oh, and for the b-side, I'm not really going to pour cement into my ears. 'Cause I know one of you smartarses was about to tell one of those jokes just for the f*** of it hahah.
I show respect to metallica for doing this. And like michael or not he is the most popular entertainer ever. ever. Look at the album sales from when he was alive and now. Its okay to be a metalhead but have some f***ing brains. Just because its not your cup of tea don't sh** on it. Thats the problem with some metalheads. They have no respect for any kind of music but they're own. ANd about micahel being a pedo? Check this out. if your kid was molested by some big pop star would you take a settlement for 20 mil or would you be a real parent and persue charges and get even more than 20mil. I don't think he did it because of that reason. Fan or not. If someone raped my kid i'd want more than 20 mil. and i'm not just talking money. i would want him under the prison where pedos belong. I mean come on? think f***ing logic. when you're the most popular person in the world and the best at what you do there is either going to be someone wanting something from you or someone trying to take you down. He was never found guilty. Whats the law innocentt until proven guilty. Lets say that you were charged with some crime like child molestation, rape murder etc. Even if you're found not guilty the tag will be with you forever because people hear what they want to hear. If i were charged with something like that and was found not guilty that i will still be known through peoples eyes as a child molester. I don't understand why people are so f***ing hateful. Like i said like mj or not he was probably the greatst musical talent. yeah he he was odd at times but what genius is not? YOu know the problems that einstein had? John Lennon, Ozzy, Elvis etc. If we as people could stop knocking, hating and ridiculing everyone maybe we could make it somewhere. But that won't happen because humans are the worst animals on the planet. And whats not to like about a guy that constantly preached peace? Do you not like the guy because he did not talk about killing people and making people suffer?
Oh yeah? by the way the guy did more for the world that any celeb i can think of. He gave more for charity and aids research than anyone. that more than just some musician, You know what thats called. Thats called a good human being who can give up over 600mil to take care of people around the world. So when it comes to mj i don't just see him as just another musician? Like the guy or not he did more for people than any other celeb i can think for. And i think thats another reason why people are upset about it. not just because he was an artist but because he gave so much to people. And be real, if the guys music really sucked would he have 3 of the top 10 selling albums ever?
Zebber - Dude so much fvcking sense. I don't hate the dude, I just don't care, and I'm fine to admit that. Thing is, there's people out there who care as much as I do yet they'll put on a fvcking mask just because "everyone else is doing it" or for some other douchy reason.
You don't have to care, does that make me a monster? Probably, according to the ignorant masses, but what about those who're cashing in on his death and pretend to care?
Some old fvcker, about 80 or something, was appauled when I said I couldn't care less. Even though this dudes probably never even heard one of his tracks before, the media's portrayed it to him to be the "most tragic event in the history of mankind".
Like sh1t, North Korea are on the verge of going to war with the U.S, millions could die, yet this one death has distracted every other douche bag on the planet. If you want to mourn a guy who talked about peace, how about stop mourning him and fvcking stop a few wars or some sh1t. I never use to believe in ghosts, but since theres been whole radio stations dedicated to playing his sh1t constantly, I can say I'm being haunted. I can't even hear my iPod driving along because my mum has "Beat It" or "Smooth Criminal" on full blast, all the fvcking time - she has every single album now since hes died. Let the guy die, please for the love of anything out there, it's like some false rumour's been spread that "if we play every one of his tracks at the same time he'll be resurrected like Jesus". Come on, let Jacko die.
\m/ Mayhem - Funeral Fog \m/
hey zebber
how are you
well i am not one of these metal heads who like only metal
do like lots of other stuff
like johny cash nick cave
but do have to say mj might be a good musician

the us dollar
like for example you cant take brtiney spears serious
she only make music for kids
well enough about this mj sh**
will no longer speak about it
people hope you all have a good weekend
np chickenfoot turnin left
I reckon if AC were to come up with an original idea for a Michael Jackson song it'd be called something like, "I Buried Your Kid With Michael Jackson" or something along those lines. I f***ing love that band!
By the way, don't preach to me Zebber. Some people just don't care. That's life, get used to it.
Anyone who saw that god awful Metallica movie knows that James Hatfield in fact has a Mangina that bleeds constantly. The estrogen flowing in his veins has led him to create this distraction as now the topic has been shifted away from how f***in' horrible their latest effort was. Fast food, punch clock metal. Who knows, maybe James saw that most of the crowd was wearing Dockers and white button oxfords and felt like some music from a homosexual pedophile may cheer them up a little bit.
Hello to all,
SHOW some respect people, MJ is a true Icon to all artist in every genre, name me another artist who plays Pop, Rock, Jazz, Gospel, Electric, Dance, and has guitar solo's that are too good...
Metallica is the best band ever! and MJ is the best solo artist ever... RIP Michael and Thanks for everything, and Metallica keep em coming, you guys are awesome, can't wait to see them LIVE Again.
Farrah Fawcet Died and went to heaven, when she got there god met her at the golden gates and told her "farrah, you lived a good life and did many things for many many people, your kindness really struck me so i decided to give you one ultimate wish even if you want your life back you will get it" So farrah thought about it awhile looked up in the eyse of god and said "God, i just want all the children in the world to be safe and happy" 5 minutes later Mikey Jackson died....hahahahahahhaha pedofile
