Bands Covering Michael Jackson Since Death

Postby Jana » Wed Oct 07, 2009 5:28 pm

Some bands that were on tour this summer when he died and paid tribute. Interesting to see interpretations of his songs. Post any you know of.

Coldplay in July - great. Loved what they did with the rhythm of the song, the change-up.

Brief melody by U2 of Billie Jean and Don't Stop Til You Get Enough in concert this year

James Morrison - Man In The Mirror

Billie Jean - a slow, bluesy interpretation by Tears For Fears in July, totally different from what I would have expected from TFF.

New Kids On The Block in June. Basically sang it the way Michael does, no new twists.

I'll Be There. Song starts around 3 minute mark.

They were covering that as part of their show in 1990, though, they simply dusted it off for this.

And I don't believe I just admitted knowing that. :lol: Probably belongs in Jim's 'embarrassing" thread. :oops: :lol:

God I hope Hammett didn't try and cop EVH's legendary solo with his wah wankery and shaky vibrato.

A good Michael Jackson tribute band could pull down some major bank right now.

I can play drums - who wants to play Jacko? We will also need keys, bass, and guitar.

I have a friend who tours local bars doing MJ tribute acts. He's been doing it for like two years too.

I'd play bass but I just sold mine a while back. Anyone wanna let me borrow a bass? Haha.
