KyleJCrb Posted December 3, 2009 Share Posted December 3, 2009 So it was true. We can at least confirm that SEGA kept and used one of his compositions for the Credits theme. 2013 UPDATE: GameTrailers' Pop-Fiction did their own investigation into this and found that yes, Jackson did in fact compose some of the music that appears in the final game. Liontamer EDIT (1/25/2016): This great read by Huffington Post's Todd Van Luling finally and truly 100% confirms from 3 of the credited Sonic 3 composers that Michael Jackson made music for Sonic 3 and it made it into the game. http://testkitchen.huffingtonpost.com/michaeljacksonsonic/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zircon Posted December 3, 2009 Share Posted December 3, 2009 Finally, this will shut all the people up who kept saying "LOL ITS JUST A RUMOR." Anyone who heard the chord comparison between Strangers and the Sonic3 credits theme had to have known he was involved! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dyne Posted December 3, 2009 Share Posted December 3, 2009 LOL. Rumors for the lulz. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DCT Posted December 3, 2009 Share Posted December 3, 2009 I'd have thought the fact that Stranger in Moscow and the ending credits for Sonic 3 are pretty much the same song, would have been confirmation enough. Nice to hear somebody actually say it though. -DCT Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jmr Posted December 3, 2009 Share Posted December 3, 2009 I was pretty convinced when I first saw . When I heard the 'Jam' sample ripped from the rom, though, I knew it was more than just a rumor. Nice to see it confirmed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kureejii Lea Posted December 3, 2009 Share Posted December 3, 2009 Finally, this will shut all the people up who kept saying "LOL ITS JUST A RUMOR." Like how having The Rabbit Joint Cover disclaimer here shut up the people who kept insisting it was by System of a Down? =P Still, the confirmation is nice.

Meteo Xavier Posted December 3, 2009 Share Posted December 3, 2009 I want to know how the hell you got someone as big as Michael Jackson to work on a video game in the first place. Geez. Now if only my dreams of Phil Collins and/or Peter Gabriel scoring full game soundtracks would come to fruition... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Groovemaster303 Posted December 3, 2009 Share Posted December 3, 2009 While the majority of us have thought this was true for quite some time now, i'm glad that it finally has been confirmed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chernabogue Posted December 3, 2009 Share Posted December 3, 2009 So, it's true. Really awesome, but it is sad to learn it only now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Liontamer Posted December 3, 2009 Share Posted December 3, 2009 Drossin confirmed this back at his panel last MAG. That was quasi-confirmed at MAGFest 7. Not that we don't trust Howard Drossin (Howard kept it real), but since then MJ's passed away, allowing Brad Buxer (a member of MJ's music team and a person on the inside with Jackson himself) to corroborate those rumors and explicitly state that they collaborated on that credits theme.
