    Michael Jackson gave his approval for alien ant farm to do this video. From what I remember he loved how they included so much of him in it. They definitely did an incredible job.

      Michael Jackson was a music genius and he enjoyed seeing people embrace his music by other generations, he shocked the world with his first solo album and was apart of history ever since, I was a total medal head and still enjoyed some Jackson on MTV back when they was mostly all music videos

      This was clearly an homage as much as a cover; they included so many of the highlights of MJs videos and dances! They really killed the song and the video is pretty awesome, so much MJ and yet, so AAF.

    My favorite thing about this song is actually how good the bass player does those Michael Jackson inspired adlibs! He hit that "HOO" and "Ohh nooo" so flawlessly. I honestly prefer this cover over the original because it just hits way more for me. So well done

    The lean was done with bolts in the floor and slots on the shoes for the bolts to slide into to brace them. There's like 25 different references to MJ videos and pop culture events in this video. True homage.

    • @gmac9987
      @gmac9987 2 года назад +1

    This is one of my favorite covers. Alien Ant Farm was a wild band. They crashed the BET Awards one year with a rooftop performance. My favorite original song by AAF is Movies. It's a fun music video too. I still blast that song when we go to see a movie and my girl hates it.

  • @debbiemccain5850

    This is one of the best covers I've heard of any song. Such a great hard rock take on MJ. One of the Easter Eggs that people don't typically catch is the tattoo of actress Elizabeth Taylor on the back of the man at the end with the monster eyes. Liz was a hugely famous actress in her time and was a very close friend of Michael's in the 1980s.

    I got to see AAF live in Fairbanks, Alaska in 2020 when they were on tour with Saliva. This song kills live!
    Mid-show a storm blew in and the wind was whipping. The sound crew was telling them to get off stage for safety, and they were like, "Fuck that, we don't quit!" Then a support beam for the stage overhead cover came loose, and they were like, "Uhhh, ok. Stay here! We'll be back as soon as this blows over!" LOL!
    And they did... after a 20 minute rain delay they kicked our asses even harder.

    This whole video is basically a love song to Michael Jackson. There are so many references, it would be almost impossible to list them all here. From the hospital mask to the Pepsi commercial to the glove to Bubbles to Thriller.... there are lots. My favorite is the tattoo of Elizabeth Taylor on the biker's back at the end.

  • @booyarenndikki
    @booyarenndikki 10 месяцев назад

    Michael created a whole special set of shoes an stage rigging to get that extreme lean, he was super smart not just in music...there would be a sort of sturdy small peg of sorts that would come up out of the stage floors and the heels of the shoes would have a groove in the to slide over the pegs and flawlessly and seamlessly anchor him (or anyone that wears some of the shoes with the grooving in them and the peg set up...im over simplifying it for sure but, it was so fricken stellar and just one thing that showed his genius and his ability to execute on his ideas which is the hard part

  • @popweaselcrunch
    @popweaselcrunch Год назад

    The "Lean" Micheal dose is because of the special shoes that were made for it. The soles have a slot in them that locks into a peg on the stage. When this happens you can lean forward or to the side and pull your body back up because you shoes are locked onto the floor.

You should watch MJ's Billie Jean video - you'll see some of the same SFX they used in this video, like the areas on the ground that light up when they step on them, as well as the cut away bit you can see at 4:44.

    @bretcullen5089 2 года назад +1

    The lean is real. MJ did it live in concerts. MJ and dance crew wore shoes that had a slotted heel that fit into pegs on the stage. Once the shoes were locked into the peg, the dancer can lean forward (gotta use core muscles, of course) while still keeping the foot flat. To un-hook, just slide the foot backwards and continue on with the rest of the show. Watch a live version of Smooth Criminal, they basically do all the dance moves from this video.
