All things LA over the past decades has been either torn down and rebuilt or abandoned and uncared for. It’s a bittersweet experience to see the past in photos and see the new now set in stone. It’s a still a blessing to feel the ghosts of once was.
This might seem minor to some. But I am so happy when fans acknowledge Michael's accomplishments as a Black artist. Along with the records he set as a African American. Its essential imo we do not erase his roots. Yes hes about unity and he appealed to all. But for the record books and history, induct him as the Greatest Black Entertainer of all time.
OMG! OMG! OMG! I just want to say thank you so FREAKING much for filming this!!! It's so FREAKING amazing how the locations of the "Beat It" film has changed somewhat over the years and yet you can still distinguish somehow the locations because the design is somewhat still the same! This was such a BLAST from the PAST! I REALLY enjoyed it! I felt like I went through a time machine watching this to where I'm back to the PRESENT DAY once the video ended!!! The history of things is just so FREAKING amazing and then when it comes to the things about Michael!!! 💕💖💕💖💕💖💕💖💕 💖 And so cool that you didn't even have to bring the pictures of where Michael was in the Monte Carlo Café because the café is ALREADY honoring the fact that Michael produced his "Beat It" film there by having hanged up the pictures of the moves he did in the café in the film!! 😆😆😆😆😆😄😄😄😄😄 I just love it and so great that I'll be seeing this once I go to the Monte Carlo Café in LA!!! And thanks for showing us the Thriller location too which I see pretty much looks the same from what it did in the early 1980s!!! So thanks again for showing this video!!! 💕💖💕💖💕💖💕💖 💕💖💕💖💕💖💕💖
@@germaninvenice How far is Neverland from Orange County. I want to see if I'm going on a Sunday, I'm in Anaheim Hills. Google it for Neverland or does it have another name? I already made a video in Hollywood, on its star, in Spanish and English, I want to made one in Neverland as well.
I just wanted to say thank you for what you are doing..i'm 41 yrs old and still love MJ and to see that some one from another country caring to make great videos on MJ locations were he filmed and danced is another great thing. Ppl like you make the world better and we thank you for preserving MJ locations in ur videos. You honor us MJ fans and MJ himself with every video you do. Thank you thank you thank you and be safe doing these location ok?..Keep it up we love u here in NYC.
I just got a surge of excitement seeing both Michael’s locations and The Doors. I appreciate you still being able to feel grateful and happy to be at these locations, changed as they may be. It’s the memories from fans like you that keep these spots alive. I hope to visit them soon as I am local to LA. Thank you for sharing!!!
You live in LA and yet never have been there!?! Get your butt over there right now! Someone from Francisco visited there, do you have any idea how far that is!?!
I think it was cool to see that you were so proud and happy to visit the different locations, especially the Monte Carlo Cafe :) I would have been proud and happy too! :)
Awwwwwwwe!!! You just made my week. Especially with that shirt. My Aunt had it when I was kid. It took me years to realized that's the shirt he's wearing in the shirt film. You are truly the best!
@@bakercarl8518 I was so young, man. I'm talking 5 or 6 years old, bro. The only time I could see the video [Beat It] was when it was played on TV and in 1987 ( after the Thriller craze had died down) that wasn't that often. My Aunt used to wear it around the house all the time. Even at that time, she'd already had it for years. I was a teenager when I finally put it together.
Watching this video put a huge smile on my face. Great enthusiasm and bravery going to some of these locations and filming in the stores. This was a good experience to watch. Stellar!
I was never a MJ fan back in the day, i wasnt really in the right age bracket at the time, so i never had much appreciation for him. Thanks to your videos though, i've been going back and watching those old MJ videos again, and damn that guy was talented! Thanks for convincing me to give MJ another chance!
I would be crawling and rolling on the floor crying and screaming " Michael Joseph Jackson was on this very floor" then i would be banned from the warehouse. When he took the piece of concrete i screamed "ME"
@@unhombrelobo I think you did not understand my question, and many have already clarified for me, If I have loved anything about MJ, it is his humanity, and the RESPECT that he shows to everyone.
I'm a fan of MJ and I really enjoy watching your videos. It's really amazing that you showed us the locations where Michael went to and most probably I don't get a chance to see it because I've never been to US.
The REAL diner from Beat It is now known as “The Southern Motel” located at 412 East Fifth street in downtown LA! The door that MJ bursts through has all been replaced with red panels. But this is the true location CONFIRMED by other movies from that time period, and LA building records that can be found online. It’s not in a great area so stay safe if you go check it out. Also, the building you see across the street when MJ opens the door is still there, standing and looks the same. That confirms it is the correct location! Happy Hunting!
I just looked up the Southern Motel on Google street view. The red panel labelled 412 that used to be the dinner entry doors is directly in line with the building that can be seen in the background when Michael makes his entrance into the dinner in the Beat It video. The area has gotten worse in 37 years. Homeless camps line the sidewalks. It is very sad. Best to visit it from the safety of Google maps. The city should have preserved the dinner for tourist purposes. The place German visited is a knock off based on the iconic dinner which no longer exists.
1977TA Yup true. I hate how that diner has made money from faking the location for so many years. Yes, the Southern Motel area is pretty bad. Been there a few times and for sure all of the adjacent buildings match. I wish they would have realized how much of a treasure it would be and kept it around. There’s an old blog that does a bunch of research about this location and you can see additional photos of it from other movies and stuff. Classic stuff.
@@1977TA Funny you mentioned Google Maps, Cause I'm literally on my Computer on Google Maps Visiting Different Locations from Michael's Videos. Its the safest way to do it 😉😂
Your too cool! I really enjoy watching your vids on MJ! Ima 90's baby but my pops was a huge MJ supporter and he passed his love for Mike down to me and I'm currently passing my love for MJ down to my son! I appreciate you doing these and sharing them with us and your personality is great! Looking forward to watching more of your content and R.I.P the King of Pop Michael J Jackson!!
I’m a Michael jackson fan &’ I’ve been to that gasoline station so many times!! &’ I just found out through this video that Beat It location is right next to it!! Wow!! Crazy!! Thanks 🙏🏻
I love this video talking about Michael Jackson, it's wonderful!
In 40 - 50 years city of los angeles gonna regret they did not preserve its history. Would have been great tourist places

charrua59 gentrification will soon erase everything known about LA and it’ll just be high rise buildings everywhere
Why does he keep calling the gang members "gangbangers"?
In 50 years L.A. won't even exist.

Agreed.
Agreed! He was a strong positive representation for our community.
💯💯💯💯
Why
Not the greatest Black entertainer but the greatest entertainer period.
What a beautiful memory.
Thanks
Thank you for the footage of Michael Jackson's precious Beat it video filming location🙆♀️💖💖 Michael Jackson, forever👑💖💖💖🙆♀️
You are so cute Mike thanks for filming this for us so we can see everything!!!😍😍😍
My all time favorite Michael Jackson video.
I’m surprised the store that was the warehouse where they danced doesn’t have any memorabilia or pictures hanging up of Beat it!
I thought the same
Cuz L.A. don't give a fuck about Nostalgia.
I also made video on my Jackson from Gary Indiana
@@MrParkerman6 but nostalgia = $$$ ...
They said beat it!
I love your enthusiasm and your jokes! super like
Thank you
Hey German In Venice You Should Go To The Billie Jean Location

Love Micheal he is cool 😊
In those photos it seems that he was not so famous, because he could not walk the streets.
3K Martial Arts Shihan Erika Well it was during his come up as an solo artist, After thriller Michael become an icon
He had the areas blocked off to the general public while filming.
@The Saint ST1 he was 12. They lied about his age
3K Martial, do you not know who MJ is? he's been extremely famous since he was 5 years old. WTF?
