THEY were ONE hell of a team...Michael Jackson, Quincy Jones, Rod Temperton and Bruce Swedien. after the global success of Thriller. if Michael wouldn't have let his ego take over/get BIG headed. who knowns, another album on Thriller's level could have been made. we will never know. Michael fired Rod first, and then Quincy, after the Bad album failed to meet Michael's expectations/sales.
There was literally no other artist in history, on the planet, who made an album on thrillers level. Not the Beatles, not Elvis, not prince, not Madonna, nobody. And FYI, bad is the 2nd biggest selling album of the 80s, behind thriller, and by 1990 bad became the 2nd biggest selling album of all time. So bad didn't do bad at all. Michael jackson made the right decision to drop quincy and move on, otherwise people would've given way too much credit to quincy. Infact they already do. Either they give too much credit to quincy for michaels work, or they give too much credit to rod for off the wall, or they give too much credit to van Halen for beat it, a song Michael wrote and composed himself. He made the right decision to go work with other people. And he became the 2nd biggest selling selling male artist of the 90s. MJ did great
@@for-house-stark I AGREE WITH YOU...growing up in the 80's. people were talking about this Michael Jackson and Prince rivalry...Michael left Prince in the dust with that Thriller album. there was NO competition. all media hype.
Totally wrong. MJ really wanted to push boundaries and find new sounds thats why he chose Teddy Riley for Dangerous. In fact he consulted Quincy about this. MJ had huge respect for QJ. If MJ was disappointed with Bad, he likely would blame himself as most of the songs on Bsd were written and composed by MJ. Even the musical direction was from MJ himself.
@@rhuiden4086 Quincy said in an interview you can find here on UA-cam. that Michael fired him. because Michael thought the Bad album was a commercial flop/selling only 30 million...go find that interview/Michael fired Quincy and his LONG-time music partner, Rod Temperton.
Man, that room full of those industry luminaries and legends.... I'd have been thinking "how TF did I get to be here?"
Incredible stuff. Plz keep em coming and thanks so much. The 80's were a magical time.
These guys are all so humble, yet talented
Respect and appreciate
