Working with Michael is a different type of work. I love “She’s out of My Life” because I think it describes our friendship at that time.ĭALLAS AUSTIN, songwriter/producer (worked on HIStory album) But I love him he’s one of the nicest, most innocent people I’ve ever met. I lost touch with him because of it, so I don’t really know him anymore. I want you to print that, because I don’t think he ever knew that. I think he thought I just canceled, but it wasn’t me at all. When I was 12, he asked me to go to the premiere of The Wiz with him, and my agent at the time said it wasn’t a good idea, maybe because they felt he wasn’t a big enough star yet. I had the tape of it, but I lost it somewhere. But another time when he was over, he played the drums, my brother played guitar, and someone else played another instrument, and we had a jam session. Once he came into my bedroom, and he wouldn’t even sit on my bed. Michael used to come to my house when I was living with my dad, and I remember him being so shy. ![]() He used to dance with me, we’d talk on the phone all the time, and he’d say how funny it was that I was 12 and I could drive and he was older and couldn’t. ![]() I never worked with Michael, but he and I had a really wonderful friendship when I was 12 and he was 17. Michael is a true artist in every facet of its nature-extremely aesthetic and very, very romantic. That’s not the way he is, but I don’t have to change for him. One time when I went to play for Michael, he walked in with Brooke Shields, and there I am with a cigarette in one hand, a bottle of Jack Daniel’s in the other, and my guitar hanging low around my neck. I have to admit working with Michael Jackson is different than working with your basic, gritty rock ‘n’ roll band. But I know what it’s like to be weird, growing up in the music business. People always ask me, “Is he weird?” Well, he’s different. He’s got a great, sarcastic sense of humor. I wonder sometimes what it’s gonna sound like, but every time, they do a great job. I get a basic framework, and I just make up my part and they edit it. We’ve been friends for a while, so he just lets me do what I want to do. He’s the only guy I’ve ever met that’s real-for that kind of music. He’s a fucking brilliant entertainer, a complete natural. ![]() SLASH, Guns N’ Roses guitarist (played on Dangerous and HIStory albums) People all over the world, especially young people, have a black man as an idol. What people forget about him is that for the first time, probably in the history of music, a black artist is embraced on a global level by everyone from eight to 80 years old. It’s like a song that would be sung to a girl, but it’s all about music. My favorite Michael Jackson song is “Music and Me.” It’s an old one, about him and his music, his love for music, and the time they’ve had together. His name is Michael Jackson, not Super Michael Jackson. People forget that he’s the most incredible entertainer we’ve seen in our lifetime. We talked about all the normal stuff guys talk about. ![]() Michael’s just as regular as everyone else. When he got there he was just, like, ‘Hey, how ya doin?'” Then Michael called and said he was on his way. So me and my partner go to the place, and while we were waiting we were talking and cursing up a storm-I was thinking that if it was a blooper show, they wouldn’t be able to use it.
