[edit] Happy anniversary

Bad was released exactly 20 years ago now. [- What relevance has this to an encyclopeda?]


--yeah. I've heard that a french news said that they will re-release Bad. Don't know if it's true. fallenscholar 09:16, 22 September 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Recording dates?

This album could not have been recorded completely in 1987. "Another Part of Me" was heard in Captain EO, released in 1986. Anyone have more accurate recording dates? Theswillman 22:52, 14 August 2006 (UTC)

They changed the another part of me song a bit in 1987. So altogether, the recording dates started in 1987.(72.142.237.25 12:08, 22 May 2007 (UTC))

Then surely the following ought to be deleted? : '...except "Another Part of Me", recorded 1985' —Preceding unsigned comment added by 90.201.124.249 (talk) 23:31, 9 November 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Multi-disc set-source?

Jackson wanted Bad to be a multi-disc set with 30 tracks? What's the source? —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 213.220.197.34 (talk) 19:58, 23 March 2007 (UTC).

If he did want it to be as long as that why did he agree for it to be cut right down to 10 tracks when 12 would not be outside of the norm?- Picnico

If you have the limited edition of the bad album there is an interview with Quincey jones on it. He said Jackson wanted all 28 songs included because he had become attacked to all of them, however quincey had the final decision as producer to cut it to 10. This would probably have been for the best. you can see when he left quincey jones on Dangerous album 1991 he almost completely fills it at 74 mins long!!!!!!! Although the album was good and lyrically better than the bad album it did have some unneccesary songs. If he had left off 2 or 3 songs from Dangerous it would have been amazing, however he didnt which is a shame. Also note Quincey jones did not want smooth criminal on the album at all, michael had to fight to keep it.Realist2 21:02, 19 June 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Edit control: Bad page looks more like a fan page

Sorry but I had to take all that extra stuff out. If you wanna re-include information about at least when Michael began recording for Bad, put it in where it says "Recording". Also, I didn't think the Captain EO, Moonwalker and Bad Tour should've been included since it has its own respective pages. BrothaTimothy (talk · contribs) 04:09, 3 March 2008 (UTC)

Unfortunately it was all merged here via a consensus , i reverted your edit but i do agree this isnt the best place for them. I suggest we creat an article for them to go on. Realist2 (talk) 15:33, 4 March 2008 (UTC)
