KyleJCrb Posted December 3, 2009 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
zircon Posted December 3, 2009 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
DCT Posted December 3, 2009 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
jmr Posted December 3, 2009 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
Kureejii Lea Posted December 3, 2009 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. Quote
Ferret Posted December 3, 2009 Posted December 3, 2009 The internet is 80% porn, 19% rumor mongering, and 1% bash.org quotes. The rest is just filler Quote
The Pezman Posted December 3, 2009 Posted December 3, 2009 Drossin confirmed this back at his panel last MAG. Quote
Meteo Xavier Posted December 3, 2009 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
Roto13 Posted December 3, 2009 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. He liked video games is how. Quote
Jenz Drake Posted December 3, 2009 Posted December 3, 2009 Come on! This is proof while in the making! =) Awesome photo! Never seen it before.... TOTALLY AWESOME NEWS! Quote
Salluz Posted December 3, 2009 Posted December 3, 2009 As a kid I put two and two together. This was figured out before I saw the video. Once I saw it, I was like, "hell yeah". damn good first post! Quote
Salluz Posted December 3, 2009 Posted December 3, 2009 Oh my god. That can't be real... Yeah, he also had Sega and Nintendo games in his house. Another reason why MJ was the sh**. Quote
Jenz Drake Posted December 3, 2009 Posted December 3, 2009 Yeah, he also had Sega and Nintendo games in his house. Another reason why MJ was the sh**. Amen. ^^ Mj loved video games... Quote
KyleJCrb Posted December 3, 2009 Author Posted December 3, 2009 Drossin confirmed this back at his panel last MAG. In other words, OLDE. Sorry we weren't all there to hear about it. Quote
Sinewav Posted December 3, 2009 Posted December 3, 2009 In other words, OLDE.Sorry we weren't all there to hear about it. More like, why didn't anyone post about it when they found out? All you MAG 08 attendees have failed us. Quote
OverCoat Posted December 3, 2009 Posted December 3, 2009 "At the time, game consoles did not allow an optimal sound reproduction, and Michael found it frustrating. He did not want to be associated with a product that devalued his music..." Quote
Groovemaster303 Posted December 3, 2009 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
Chernabogue Posted December 3, 2009 Posted December 3, 2009 So, it's true. Really awesome, but it is sad to learn it only now. Quote
Liontamer Posted December 3, 2009 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.

Dafydd Posted December 3, 2009 Posted December 3, 2009 "It's just an old story, Bella." Anyway, this is awesome. Do we get an official IceCap ReMix project now? Quote
Salluz Posted December 3, 2009 Posted December 3, 2009 "It's just an old story, Bella." Anyway, this is awesome. Do we get an official IceCap ReMix project now? YES, no Mod approval needed. Salluz the Sonic Master says YES. Quote
