Still not confirmed, but it's sad yea. He has so many great songs, few can match the longevity he has had. Nevermind the antics, he was and will be one of the most popular and respected musicians ever. I hope we NEVER see this day for anyone in Metallica anytime soon.

PS. I'm waiting for someone to say "You moron, Cliff died suddenly" and I understand that...but I wasn't alive in that time period to mourn his death and appreciate how suddenly things like this can happen. When or if this ever happens to Metallica, I don't know how I'll cope.

Sad thing is, there were really 2 different Michael Jacksons, the one who dominated the pop culture for so long and the prescription drug addict, accused child molester freak he became.

I can't deny his influence on pop music, but I was never a fan. Doesn't mean I wanted to see him dead, but I won't lose any sleep over it either. One of our local radio stations, the idiot DJ said it was a tragedy on the level of Kennedy getting shot...

I hope it all doesnt turn into the same kinda shit as when Princess Diana died, that was just beyond belief, public funerals, Elton Fuckin John recycling his songs, and millions of people lining the streets, crying their hearts out etc

Wacko Jacko was fantastic when he was younger, Thriller will be regarded as one of the greatest albums ever recorded, rightly so, but he will always be remembered as a child molesting freak by most people, who dangled his kid off a balcony in Germany, bit of a nutcase in his later life me thinks!

Not sure if any of you overseas people ever got to see a program called Bo Selecta, but us in the UK will know it, after seeing that program, i havent been able to look at, or hear Michael Jackson
the same way since, youtube it, and you`ll see why!!

Sha,mone motherfucker!!

I was going to say exactly the same thing - it will turn into a mass outpouring of grief that's boardering on mass hysteria just like we saw with Princess Di.

It's a real shame he has died as it is with every human being that passes away - undoubtly he was a very good artist when in his prime
but he completely led his life as a media circus and surely that contributed towards his 'strangeness' in later life.

The whole 'paedophile' thing left a very sour taste in alot of people's mouths, I don't know if he did it I wasn't there but personally it made me look at him differently and as alot of people say there is no smoke without fire.

Unfortunetly the main people who are suffering are his children - they have led very strange and unconventional lifes up til now and i'm sure it will continue to be that way. How do you live up to the fact your dad was the 'King of Pop'?

You guys are seriously right though! My girlfriend started crying when she heard that he died - I didn't really feel that was necessary. Then she said that this is bigger than Kennedy's assassination...I don't freaking think so.

Jake ...bro....Kennedy only affected folks in America , compared to MJ ...I know dudes who can't speak a lick of English that are from Iran , and know about Micheal Jackson , Mike has been singing since he was 5 ! He crossed many of generations , even our diseased band play some of his beats live ...remember the moon walk James did on the mtv video awards .....classic


SAy what you want - but Mj has effected soooo many artists careers along the line . He will be missed
