...few more pictures from my birthday party in my workplace... feature an homage to the King Of The Pop.

The idea that day was to highlight the come-back of the star, and prove to my colleagues that I've been in a Michael Jackson concert in Luxembourg, long time ago (12 years ago in fact... it was this show : 22nd June 1997 Bettembourg [Luxembourg] Krakelschaff )

That is the reason why I brought the special T-shirt I got in that 'History' tour, and of course the ticket of the show.
I also brought my original 'Thriller' vinyl :) :arrow:

Of course, during the drink, an MP3 player ...was playing Michael Jackson songs *only* :-*

(https://www.dragonslairfans.com/forforum/king_of_pop_3.jpg)

It was really nice for some colleagues to see & touch the real vinyl (after so many years for some of them)... THE album that changed everything ... THRILLER!

Remy... is trying to do the moon walk ;D :arrow:

And of course, they forced me to put the T-shirt ;) :arrow:

It was very fun.

Rest in peace Michael.

Post by: polaris on June 26, 2009, 11:10:47 PM: thats quite ironic, mtv refused to play michael jackson when they started, and only did because the record company refused to supply them with videos by all their other artists until they played mj videos.

Really shocked to hear the news last night, he's one of my favourite artists :-\

Post by: Sonic 1992 on June 29, 2009, 06:06:25 PM: What Reallly Pisses Me Off :evil:

BEFORE MJ Died:

1. No one played his songs on the radio.
2. No MJ videos seen on MTV or any other "video" channel.
3. All these people/stars coming out in support of MJ's passing, Where were they when MJ was being accused of things? I believe that these people just want "face time" on TV.
Title: Re: Michael Jackson Has Died.
Post by: vib_ribbon on June 29, 2009, 10:56:23 PM: yeah, that's always the case. i hope people will tell me how awesome i am while i'm still alive... don't buy me flowers when i am dead. buy them for me now.

I quote 100% sonic 1992

Where all these people were when he was accused, and most of all what they did to help him..

I tell you: No thing

I think to be one of the captive fans that never lost faith in him and never believed to all the lies that offended his name during all these years

I disagree even today when as a fan I hear those who say that we saw good just in the 1st part of his life artistically with "thriller"

Mj made great things until 2001 (have you ever seen the integral video of "you rock my world" with Marlon BRANDO? nuff said)

i.e. Until when he was banned by Mottola (hope with all the money done pumpin' usher can go broke soon and be removed) and not helped by maria carrey that did not support him in putting in evidence what in Sony were doing to him ..

But this is just few to mention..

Go and listen "in the closet" (club edit) or "blood on the dance floor", "heal the world" or "earth song" or Carmina Burana" made by him for History

and let me know

I want to share with you something in common

here is a rare piece for Mj fans the Us version of the "in the closet" with the white strip

+ A sonic item got in Japan some years ago to remain in theme

Here is for you all:

http://entertainment.webshots.com/photo/2832247010104363451UKXHSa

I saw him twice at the dangerous tour made by MJ in 1992 first in Rome in June and then in august in Cardiff (I still have the tour shirt as bruno)

how time pass

but memories remains..

Rest in peace God bless you

And Thanks to have been here with us

Maverick

Ps= Many don't know but moonwalker - the cabinet of the game - was designed directly by Mj himslef

In Sega told me he came personally to chose color, size and shape

Only Mj!

Bummer I sold my arcade version of Moonwalker
Yeah the prices are gonna skyrocket now... I still have mine, but there's a problem with the pcb.

I just checked ebay in the finished auctions section for moonwalker for the mega drive: there are several that ended at around €40 !!, there's even a copy that went for €70 :o

Post by: DarthNuno on July 04, 2009, 08:20:51 AM: Did you know the story about Michael Jackson and Sonic 3?

Here's a part of an interview with Kikizo, from the SEGA Sonic Team :

Kikizo: Going a bit further back, I wonder if you can clear up some speculation that's been around for years now, that Michael Jackson was involved in the music production for Sonic 3? There is some really quite convincing evidence on the internet. You must surely be the guy to say yes it's true, or no it's not?!

Naka: [laughs] It's best that you ask Sega!

Kikizo: Well, er, it was your game, Naka-san... nobody at Sega would even know any more...

Naka: It's a mystery [laughs]. This information is on a need-to-know basis! [laughs more] One day, when the time comes, I will give you the information!
