Grunge would dominate the music scene in the early 90’s and one of the band’s who was a frequent presence on MTV and on rock radio was Pearl Jam. Perhaps no video is more popular for Pearl Jam than Jeremy from their debut album Ten. Despite the song’s dark subject matter and controversial video, it received heavy rotation on MTV, is still frequently played on rock radio where I live and is the band’s most viewed video on YouTube. But whatever happened to the kid who starred in the video, well fame proved to be difficult to deal with and he would find a different path in life, His life would be cut short due to a tragic accident. That’s whjat were going to explore in today’s video

To celebrate the video’s 25th anniversary, Billboard Magazine would write a very indepth article on Trevor Wilson, the young actor who portray’s Jeremy in the music video. The publication would interview Mark Pellington who directed the video for Pearl Jam and Wilson’s parents who discuss a man who felt the same way about fame as the members of Pearl Jam did.

The video lyrics for Jeremy would be inspired by a real life event that happened at a Dallas school in 1991 when a boy who was bullied by his kids at school ended his life in front of his classmates. Director Mark Pellington would tell Billboard that Wilson was sick when he sent in his audition tape, but despite this he clinched the audition the second he walked in recalling "He was sick on his tape, and he didn’t play it like, 'Oh, I’m all angsty,'". "He was sitting there and I was looking at [his audition tape], and he was kind of dazed and numb and f--ked up. I found out later that he was sick. But he was so expressive, in a non-histrionic way." WIlson’s mother Diane would point to the fact that her son suffered from Asthma, something that may have influenced how he acted and looked the day of the audition. she would tell billboard that had she been at the audition chances are she wouldn’t have let her son go because she wasn’t a fan of firearms. Ironically MTV rejected the first cut of the video because they didn’t want any firearms shown in the video, much to the shagrin of the video’s director and the band.

Wilson’s mother Diane worked with people in show business while living in new york. His mother was a chef to well known celebrities including director Ridley Scott, talk show host phil donahue and actress michelle pfeifffer. Wilson would attend the Rudolf Steiner Waldorf School in Manhattan while spending his weekends at the Lee Strasberg Theatre & Film Institute. It would be the 1986 film Stand By Me that got Wilson interested in acting and one of Diane’s clients who saw potential in her son and suggested he try acting classes.

Wilson’s father accompanied his son to the audition after reading about it in the backpages of Billboard magazine. His son had already done a few auditions for other projects, but that was it. While he was waiting for his son to be called he overheard someone say and i quote “He has to have a good scream,” so he pinched his son’s leg until he let out a big scream and went over the lyrics of the song with him to help him better understand the character. Wilson got the audition beating out 200 other applicants. The original plan was not to feature Pearl Jam at all in the video, but Pellington decided against that after spending several days shooting the band in London.

After the video shoot wrapped up Wilson and his family went on vacation and relocated from New York to Los Angeles. By the time Wilson’s family was now living in Los Angeles Jeremy’s video had premiereed on MTV and feeling something seismic happen, they started to sense something big was happening with his Father recalling to Billboard . “Once we moved there, he started getting all this fan mail, and he went on this radio talk show [with Dr. Drew Pinsky] — and women were calling in and saying they’d like to take him to bed… just boxes and boxes of fan mail,” Wilson soon became recognizable to a lot of places he went with his father adding “After a few months of that attention, he kind of turned away.” with his mother adding

#godsmack #motleycrue #sullyerna

I cite my sources and they may differ than other people's accounts, so I don't guarantee the actual accuracy of my videos.

Released in 1998, Godsmack’s first album, which riginally self released as All Wound Up, until the band signed a major recording deal to Universal and Republic Records. They would soon re-release the album as a self titled release. Gracing the cover was a mysterious pierced and woman along with a logo I always shared some similarities with Alice in Chains. Not to mention the name Godsmack, the name of a track taken off Alice in Chains hugely popular 1992 Dirt album. I found it funny when drummer Shannon Larkin claimed the band were not influenced by Alice in Chains saying they are not clones of the band telling the Reno Gazette Journal “I don't hear it. I was never a big ALICE IN CHAINS fan. Layne's (Staley of ALICE IN CHAINS) voice is amazing, but I never heard it. If somebody said GODSMACK sounds like METALLICA, I could totally hear that. Sully sounds like (METALLICA's James) Hetfield to me. I guess there's a darkness to the harmonies that sounds like Layne and Jerry (Cantrell),but to me it's still apples and oranges."

Getting back to the story. . Who was the woman on the cover,, was she real and if so what is she up today? That’s what were going to explore along with the controversy involving the album and a disgruntled parent.

The woman on Godsmack’s debut album is a real person. Her name is Toni Tiller. She would be interviewed by Kerrang where she discussed how she got on the cover and what she’s up to today. She would admit to meeting the members of the band years after the shoot and how nice they were. She would tell Kerrang how she graced the album cover recalling "I was living in NYC and deeply involved in the club kid scene and so I had an interesting look going. I met a photographer in Brooklyn and we were trying a few things out for a project if his and we snapped that image. A few years later he was working with the band and they saw that in his book and liked it, so they purchased it for use. The next ting I know, my face everywhere. It was pretty strange, but I love weird stuff like that."

That image the band used was taken four years earlier in 1994. Tiller would admit she wasn’t a model and would help people out if they asked also admitting that one woman in new york made a doll of her. Surprisingly she would admit that being on the album’s cover never got her recognized in public, largely because of geography. She would admit there weren’t a lot of Godsmack fans where she lived at the time. So what’s she up to today? She would admit to Kerrang "Now I live in the woods, I'm bald, usually barefoot, and into a variety of stuff. Meditation, strange objects, cooking, esoteric studies, cacti, dollhouses, rugs, and artsy crap. In my spare time I have a reform school for rude kittens." Since doing the interview with Kerrang she has posted some photos showing her signing posters of the band’s debut album.

Let’s talk about the controversy behind the album. Released in august of 1998 the group’s debut record didn’t create any trouble for almost a year. In April of 1999 the album was certified gold in America moving half a million copies. Then in June of 1999 MTV reported that one, I’m not kidding one parent from Cleveland had bought the record for his kid and after going through the liner notes and lyrics, complained about the record citing objectionable artwork and lyrics. The artwork they objected to were pentagrams The album hadn’t been released with a parental advisory sticker and somehow made it’s way past the people who review albums for walmart and k-mart. The complaint resulted in the chains pulling the album off store shelves. Eventually the band agreed to play ball with walmart and put parental advisory stickers on the album with sully erna telling rolling stone "Our record has been in the marketplace for more than a year now without a parental advisory sticker and this is the one and only complaint. Stickers and lyrics are by nature subjective. We have decided to put a sticker on the record." "It's almost taunting kids to go out and get the record to see what we're saying on it. Erna would claim the controversy didn’t hurt the album commercially and he was probably right the album went 4x platinum just in America

Led Zeppelin’s Disastrous Reunion (Live-Aid)

Live Aid in 1985 was a charity concert that was held simultaneously in the UK and America and was put together to help fight the famine in Ethriopia that had been documented the previous year. I don’t think i’ve ever shared this with you guys, but I used to live in ethiopia when i was younger. Yes, i know i’m quite worldly. Live Aid 1985 was the site of several high profile reunions including Black Sabbath, Crosby Still Nash and Young. But that wasn’t what most fans were looking forward to. The charity concert was also the site of the most anticipated reunion was one involving ¾ members of the led zeppelin with drummer phil collins. The performance that day would be remembered as a complete disaster even by the members themselves and today we’re going to explore the stories.

Led Zeppelin would break up in 1980 following the death of drummer john bonham the band would disband. The band would reunite for the first time in 1985 after Live Aid organizer Bob Geldoff convinced the surviving members to appear at the Phildaelphia concert at john f kennedy stadium. . The band would play through a 20 minute long set consisting of three of their classic songs including Rock and Roll, Whole Lotta Love, and Stairway to Heaven. Tony Thompson and Phil Collins filled in on the drums for the performance.

The performance was not remembered for the right reasons.

The performance was marred by a myriad of problems. Bassist john paul jones flew in the day of the show and the band only spent an hour rehearsing the same day. Couple this with the fact that the monitors were acting up and the members couldn’t hear themselves or each other and when guitarist jimmy page was handed a guitar on stage it was out of tune. Couple this with frontman Robert Plant’s vocal problems and it was a performance fans had hoped for.

Frontman Robert Plant would tell Rolling stone 3 years after Live AId . “Emotionally, I was eating every word that I had uttered. And I was hoarse. I’d done three gigs on the trot before I got to Live Aid. We rehearsed in the afternoon, and by the time I got onstage, my voice was long gone.” with Jimmy Page adding years later My main memories, really, were of total panic. John Paul Jones arrived virtually the same day as the show and we had about an hour’s rehearsal before we did it. And that sounds like a bit of a kamikaze stunt, really, when you think of how well everyone else was rehearsed.”

Phil Collins would write about the performance in his book writing I knew the wheels are falling off from early on in the set. I can’t hear Robert clearly from where I’m sat, but I can hear enough to know that he’s not on top of his game. If I’d known it was to be a two-drummer band, I would have removed myself from proceedings long before I got anywhere near Philadelphia.” He would tell q magazine in 2014 in a separate interview "I thought it was just going to be low-key and we'd all get together and have a play.
"But something happened between that conversation and the day - it became a Led Zeppelin reunion. I turned up and I was a square peg in a round hole."
Adding "Robert was happy to see me, but Jimmy wasn't. You could sense I wasn't welcome.
"If I could have walked off, I would have done. But then we'd all be talking about why Phil Collins walked off Live Aid - so I just stuck it out.

While many including some of the band members blamed Collins for at least part of the poor performance with Jimmy Page telling the Sunday Times “The drummer couldn’t get the beginning of ‘Rock And Roll’,”” So we were in real trouble with that. "But at the end of the day, he didn't know anything. We played 'Whole Lotta Love', and he was just there bashing away cluelessly and grinning. I thought that was really a joke."

Collins would blame a lack of rehearsal time as reported by new musical express stating “I didn’t rehearse when I got there, but I listened to ‘Stairway To Heaven’ on Concorde,” he said. “I arrived and went to the caravans, and Robert said: ‘Jimmy Page is belligerent’.”

he would blame other drummer Tony Thompson. Collins would claimed was more trying to make a name for himself should led zeppelin

#inxs #oasis #michaelhutchence

I cite my sources and they may differ than other people's accounts, so I don't guarantee the actual accuracy of my videos.

Back in 1996 INXS Frontman Michael Hutchence would present Oasis with an award for their huge hit Wanderwall at the Brit Awards. But the happy occasion resulted in Oasis guitarist Noel gallagher hurling an insult at Hutchence and INXS and would result in a diss track. That’s what were going to discuss in today’s video.

At the 1995 MTV European music awards it was reported that INXS frontman Michael Hutchence and Oasis singer Liam Gallagher nearly got into a fight backstage when Hutchence threw a fire extinguisher at Liam following some disparaging remarks he made about his then lover, Paula Yates according to the book INXS: Story to Story the official autobiography. There wasn’t much follow up reporting, but a year later 1996 at the Brit Awards it seemed like it was water under the bridge at least initially. Hutchence who was an Oasis fan would present an award that night to Oasis. Oasis at the time was reeling from the success of their sop****re record what’s the story morning glory. Featuring the hit song Wonderwall the song was nominated for the best video category wand be against take that, pulp, radiohead and blur. Oasis would win the award but as Oasis left the stage noel gallagher hurled an insult at hutchence saying

, “Has-beens should not be presenting awards to gonna-be’s.” Pretty rough. It was during the time of the Brit awardds that INXS who had started writing what would be their final album 1997’s Elegantly Wasted. The band had come off an extended hiatus after their last album 1993’ Full Moon Dirty Hearts was a commercial disappointment due to lukewarm responses from critics and changing musical tastes.

Hutchence would tell the album network magazine in 1997 “We really wanted to get off the old carousel for a while,” “As a band, we have recorded an album every 12 to 18 months over the last five or six years. This helped to create a situation resulting in a lot of personal and business friction within the band, as well as the record label. … So, it just seemed like the logical time to take a break.”

It was sometime after the brit awards that hutchence was in dublin, ireland and was at a bar with bono of u2 when liam gallagher supposedly walked in and got into a verbal altercation with hutchence. Bono kept the peace, butHutchence was so infuriated with the event that he headed back into the studio and added a background vocal to the title track elegantly wasted that said “i’m better than oasis.’ HEres an interview with hutchence asking about the song.

Hutchence would take his own life in november of 1997 and to those close to him Noel’s remark was said to have humiliated him.

Noel Gallagher seemed to would discuss the incident in 2000, three years after hutchence death telling uncut magazine…. The second night of The Brits [1996]. We didn't know Michael Hutchence was going to present us with an award. It was the first award of the night and there'd been words said before the ceremony in the papers. So when he come out to present the award, we went, 'Right, these cs [Brits organisers] have stitched us up here, because they know what's going on.' So we decided that, every time we hit that stage, we were just going to give it to everyone, and we f***ing duly did…It wasn't scripted or anything like that. We probably wouldn't have done anything if Michael Hutchence hadn't come out and said his little bit: 'I heard Liam wants to fight me.' We were like, 'Don't f***ing try and pick a fight with us, man, because we're the best at giving verbal abuse,' and off we went.

WHile the band’d last album with hutchence wasn’t as commercially successful as their earlier works the title track would peak at number 2 on the alternative charts in America.

#prince #mtv

I cite my sources and they may differ than other people's accounts, so I don't guarantee the actual accuracy of my videos.

In 1986 MTV would partner up with musician Prince to promote his new film at the time titled Under the Cherry Moon. MTV would hold a contest to give one lucky winner the chance to win a date with the musician along with several other prizes. Here’s a promo the network ran for the contest.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NB97NefZmE0

The winner would be 20 year old hotel chambermaid from Sheridan, Wyoming named Lisa Barber. The town’s population was less than 11,000 people. Barber would spot the ad for the contest while watching MTV with a friend one day after work., Funny enough Prince wasn’t the most famous celebrity to visit the town as it was reported that years prior Queen Elizabeth II was spotted shopping in the town. She had been invited by Sen. Malcolm Wallop. .

The Daily Beast would reach out to Prince’s publicist Robyn Riggs several years after the musician’s death to recount what happened behind the scenes. Riggs who was 25 at the time would recall reading the paper the day after the MTV contest ended. She read an interview with Barber who was asked whether she was a fan of her boss with her responding ‘Yeah, he’s OK. But I really like Motley Crue! I hope I get to meet Tommy Lee.”

Riggs fearing that the contest could unravel would head down to Billings, Montanna, the closest major airport to Sheridan. Riggs would have to give Barber a makeover from heavy metal fan to Prince fan, and had to ensure preparations were underway for her boss arrival. A convoy of trucks descended on the small town with Prince’s equipment for the concert. Prince’s band the Revolution, didn’t have a good start to the contest with guitarist Wendy Melvoin revealing in the book Prince: The Man and his music . “We had the worst flight ever from Denver to Sheridan, everyone was praying. We thought we were gonna die," with Keyboardist Lisa Coleman adding, “The plane was a VW van with wings.”

The contest almost fell apart when. Prince’s manager, would call Riggs to tell her thatthat the musician would drive himself to the movie theatre and the contest winner could ride with the band in the bus to the event. Furious, Riggs would call up Rob Friedman who was the head of the movie studo’s marketing department to give him a heads up and tell Prince’s manager and i quote “Steven, here’s what’s going to happen. You’re going to get with your client, you’re going to tell him that he’s going to take this girl AS HIS DATE. If he does not do that, then I’m going to haul Warner Bros. out of here. And all of our promotional dollars are going home.”

Ahead of the movie premiere Barber would spend an hour getting dolled up by Prince’s haristylist and makeup artist and was given an outfit to wear for the premiere admitting to people magazine she and i quote “usually shopped at kmart”

Barber would tell People Magazine “I was so nervous, but he told jokes in the car while he drove us to the movie theater, and I could tell he was doing his best to help me relax,” “It was such a huge deal – cameras were flashing everywhere. That night was the biggest thing to ever happen in Sheridan.”

After the movie premiere the party headed back to the local holiday inn where Prince and his band played a 45 minute set. In honor of the celebration, then Sheridan Mayor Max DeBolt proclaimed July 1, 1986, as “Prince and MTV Day.”

Prince would end up keeping a fake pearl necklace he got from Barber that night, but he wouldn’t leave her empty handed giving her a goodnight kiss at her home, along with a pair of earrings and gold necklace in addition to two tickets to an upcoming concert in Denver Barber would admit to people magazine “I went with a friend and they gave us backstage passes, but he wasn’t there after the show,” “Still, he was so sweet. He left me 13 long-stemmed red roses.”

#queen #bohemianrhapsody #sachabaroncohen

I cite my sources and they may differ than other people's accounts, so I don't guarantee the actual accuracy of my videos.

Back in 2010 it came to light that the rock band queen was planning on doing a biopic about their career While Rami Malek would go on to play Freddie Mercury, it was originally envisioned that Sacha Baron Cohen would play Queen’s frontman. Years later Cohen revealed why he was no longer part of the film and why things fell apart. Cohen would even reveal that the original script seemed like a terrible idea. One member of Queen wouldn’t mince words about his disdain for the actor. That’s what were going to explore in today’s video.

In September of 2010 guitarist Brian May would let it slip that Queen was working on a biopic that actor Sacha Baron Cohen had been pushing for. May would tell the Hardtalk Show “We have Sacha Baron Cohen, which will probably be a shock to a lot of people, but he's been talking with us for a long time," It was initially reported that shooting would begin in 2011

More than a year later by April of 2011 shooting hadn’t begun yet. Brian May gave an update telling the Daily Record that they were still in discussions with Sacha baron cohen and that the actor told him personally he was born to play freddie. However, May would reveal that the rest of the Queen organization were reluctant to do a film fearing it could hurt the band’s legacy stating : "It is a project which is taking up a lot of time even though it is in the preparatory stages. It is a bit early to say how we will feel about it.
"Obviously, we go into it with a great amount of enthusiasm but also a certain amount of caution because Freddie's legacy is very precious and we have a great responsibility not to mess it up. It is more about Freddie than it is about us and that is deliberately so.
"We have resisted making this film for a long time and it is only now we feel we have the right people that we have given it the OK.
"Sacha does seem perfect. If it hadn't been for Sacha pushing and pushing, we wouldn't be at this point. We didn't choose him. He chose us."He is passionate about playing Freddie. For years, he's been saying he is going to do it."
Then a few years would go by and in July of 2013 it came out that Baron Cohen and Queen had parted ways on the project. It was reported at the time that creative differences led to the split with Baron Cohen wanting the biopic to be nitty gritty while Queen wanted the movie to be more restrained and sanitized. Brian May would claim that the parties parted ways on good terms, but in 2014 both Brian May and drummer Roger Taylor gave an update on the film. May would tell Classic Rock magazine "[I]n the end we felt that his presence in the movie would be very distracting," referring to the comedians over the antics with characters like borat and bruno going on to say "[W]e thought there has to be no distraction in the Freddie movie. You have to really suspend that disbelief – the man who plays Freddie, you have to really believe is Freddie. And we didn’t that could really happen with Sacha." May would say he was a fan of Baron, Cohen, but Roger Taylor was less diplomatic saying We didn’t want it to be a joke. We want people to be moved. 2 years later the actor appeared on the howard stern show in 2016 and gave his version of events and made a surprising revelation of the original script he was involved with and why he walked away.

in 2018 while promoting the film to the associated press Roger Taylor would slam cohen saying “It was never really on [with Cohen]. I don’t think he took it seriously enough — he didn’t take Freddie seriously enough. I think it’s [been] a long road, but we’re at the end of it now.”
Taylor echoed those feelings again this year with Classic Rock Magazine where he told the publication what have would happened if Baron Cohen played freddie saying “I think he would have been utter shit,” “Sacha is pushy, if nothing else. He’s also six inches too tall. But I watched his last five films and came to the conclusion he’s not a very good actor… I thought he was an utterly brilliant subversive comedian, that’s what he’s great at. Anyway, I think

#badfinger #peteham #thebeatles

I cite my sources and they may differ than other people's accounts, so I don't guarantee the actual accuracy of my videos.

As the first non-solo act on Apple Records, Badfinger had remarkable chemistry, huge hits on the charts, and they’d be critically acclaimed as natural successors to The Beatles. In fact some referred to the band as and i quote ‘the new Fab Four. and they were handpicked by the members of the Beatles themselves.’ Their songs and albums made millions, But a series of financial and legal complications would lead to the deaths of its two main songwriters, and a bittersweet legacy going forward. This is their story.
Badfinger’s roots go back to the early 60s, in the close-knit music scene of Swansea (swanzee) Wales, a port city almost like a little liverpool.. While initially performing on the local circuit using temporary names, their first serious incarnation was as the Iveys, which came together in 1961. Their early lineup consisted of frontman Pete Ham on lead guitar, Dai Jenkins on rhythm guitar, Ron Griffiths on bass and Roy Anderson on drums.The Iveys sets heavily covered black american music.
By 1965 drummer Roy Anderson’s work life took hold. He was replaced by Mike Gibbins, who was introduced to the band through Griffiths. In an interview with Gary Katz for the documentary Badfinger: The Director’s Cut, Gibbins recalled feeling uncertain about this transition, but eventually accepted his role.
“It was really strange, because these guys were like mods. They had criss-cross-patterned trousers and short hair like the Faces, [but] they were playing good stuff,” he’d say.
“Pete [Ham] didn’t like my playing. He thought it was pretty abysmal, and that my bass drum sounded flipped out. I went for a pint at the bar around the corner and thought that was that, but to my amazement, he came over and said, ‘We want you in the band.’
The Iveys soon became one of Swansea’s top local band and shared billing with another emerging act, The Mojos. Bill Collins, a session musician, was impressed with the Iveys’ performance, and took them under his wing. While not a manager per-se, he did have industry connections, and got them a job as the backing band for David Garrick. Their shows were so popular that the band members commanded more attention than Garrick himself, particularly Dai Jenkins, with Gibbins recalling in a separate interview,
“We’d be doing a gig in Ireland, and he’d be singing Mrs. Applebee, and the girls would be screaming, screaming, screaming, but then he’d go, ‘Hang on a minute,’ look to the other side and…there would be crowds around Dai.” “I think that’s the reason we got fired."
Collins moved with The Iveys to London, England, where they’d set up base at his communal house in Golders Green. The band was being paid 5 pounds a week as a retainer, not a whole ot. He encouraged the band to focus on songwriting and frontman Pete Ham would take that to heart, demoing tons of original songs using the house’s makeshift studio. Meanwhile the band’s continued live repertoire of R&B, Motown, and Beatles hits began drawing a lot of attention from record labels. Collins was insistent on signing with the fledgling Apple Records, which was owned by the Beatles themselves. The label was known for being the most artist friendly label at the time.
In 1967, guitarist Dai Jenkins was dismissed from the band after his commitment waned, and was replaced by 24 year old Tom Evans, a native of Liverpool, England who would become another piece of the signature lineup. As explained in Dan Matovina’s book, Without You: The Tragic History of Badfinger, The Iveys were in instant awe of Evans’ musicianship, but his personality took a bit of getting used to, with Gibbins remembering:
“As soon as Tom moved in, he was complaining. He was from Liverpool and we were from Wales. He said that he couldn’t relate to anybody. My feeling was, ‘Just tag along, man. This is a band.”
Local musician Will Youatt telling Loudersound “They played all the local haunts,” “They were a good-looking sort of band, but no great shouts musically. Then they got rid of Dai and Ronnie and replaced ’em with the Liverpool boys – then they became songwriters.”
By the next year, The Iveys prepared demos for Apple Records, a

#vanhalen #michaeljackson #eddievanhalen #evh

What’s going on my fellow rock n’ rollers. Don’t foget to hit the bell notification i con to be notified everytime i pout out a new video on my channel. Guitarist Eddie Van Halen would play a crucial role in pop star Michael Jackson’s hit song Beat it from his 6th album Thriller. The guitarist was taken by surprise when Thriller came out in 1982 and his name was nowhere to be found. Not only that but Eddie wasn’t the original guitarist who was asked to play on the song So what happened. Stay tuned to find out the full story.
The Who's Pete Townshend would claim that he was originally asked to play on the song Beat It, but was unable to and instead recommended Eddie Van Halen telling Rolling Stone
“I was once asked by Michael Jackson to play electric guitar on the Thriller album,” “I said I couldn’t do it but recommended Eddie who called and we chatted. He was utterly charming, happy about the connection, but told me how much he was enjoying playing keyboards. His smile was just classic. A man in his rightful place, so happy to be doing what he did.”
Eddie Van Halen was personally asked by Thriller’s producer Quincy Jones to help with the song. Eddie admitted in a 2012 interview with CNN that he didn’t know a person named Quincy at the time and thought the phone call was a practical joke saying:
“I went off on him. I went, ‘What do you want, you f-ing so-and-so!,’” “And he goes, ‘Is this Eddie?’ I said, ‘Yeah, what the hell do you want?’ ‘This is Quincy.’ I’m thinking to myself, ‘I don’t know anyone named Quincy.’ He goes, ‘Quincy Jones, man.’ I went, ‘Ohhh, sorry!’” Eddie agreed to do the track but was also skeptical about how much he had in common with Jackson considering they played different styes of music. But Jackson had actually written “Beat It” to be a rock song, helped in large part Toto guitarist Steve Lukather who also played on the track.
Van Halen had a break in their working schedule and according to the guitarist he did the session for free and it only took about 20 minutes and his part amounted to about 20 seconds guitar solo on the track,. Quincy Jones wanted the guitarist to improvise recalling in a BBC documentary about Jackson
"I'm not gonna sit here and try to tell you what to play.
"The reason you are here is because of what you do play."
Eddie would play the solo and according to engineers in the studio it was during that session that one of the speakers caught on fire. One of the engineers would exclaim “this must be really good.”
Right before Eddie’s guitar solo begins, a noise is heard that sounds like somebody knocking at a door. It was originally reported that the knock was a person walking into Eddie's recording studio. A different story claimed that the sound was simply the musician knocking on his own guitar.[] The sound, however, is that of Jackson knocking on a drum case, as he is credited in the album's liner notes.
Eddie would tell CNN he listened to the track and re-arranged the entire track while Jackson was out of the studio, but the popstar had no issue with the song’s new arrangement as he said here.
Eddie would also claim in the same interview that Jackson’s band was very insular and that they rarely asked for outside help from musicians on records. Eddie was not credited on the album, he didnt get paid and he wasn’t in the music video, but he did make several live appearances with Jackson.. In fact Eddie would tell Piers Morgan in 2012 he was naive about how popular Jackson was saying in 2012 “whose gonna know if i play on this black kid’s record?” Eddie was probably right to be a little naive considering this was 1982 and MTV wasn’t playing a lot of black artists, in fact I’ll be doing another story in the future about how playing Michael Jackson became a huge fight for MTV and how the king of pop literally saved the network, but that’s a story for another time.
Following the release of Thriller Eddie recalled being at Tower Records and hearing the song playing in the store and how some people were critical of his guitar playing on the track claiming. "The solo comes on, and I hear these kids in front of me going, 'Listen to this guy trying to sound like Eddie Van Halen.' I tapped him on the shoulder and said, 'That is me!' That was hilarious."
