Objectively true
He's not wrong
Cooper Moore
I always had an impression that Smooth Criminal wasn't one of his most remembered songs until this cover happened
Jason Hill
>that feel when I own every Alien Ant Farm album and still listen to them
>that feel when they just put out a new record in 2015 and I like it too
Levi Walker
>This
It was all Beat It and Thriller and I guess a little bit of Black and White until this came along.

Ryan Lewis
They're both good. Personally I prefer the original as I don't think Alien Ant Farm quite nailed the guitar solo MJ yelp lean portion
Daniel Green
Original is better, not even an argument
Xavier Campbell
Original has a heavier, more abrasive beat than the one that is supposed to be heavy and abrasive.

the AAF version is literally what everyone heard as a kid
Jaxon Adams
You were probably 6 in 1990. Man in the Mirror was fucking EVERYWHERE. And Bad.

>tfw to smart too like tv and movies
Wyatt Cooper
I never liked the original. I was burning an 80s CD for this past Christmas road trip back home and was going to put the original on it. It sucked, my opinion didn't change. The AAF version is stellar in comparison.
John Phillips
>6 in 1990
You'd be lucky if anyone here other than me was born before 1996
Alexander Young
I would genuinely agree
Oliver Myers
>Who Let the Dogs Out came out 17 years ago
William Parker
This is just so wrong...
The entire "Will you tell us, that you're ok?" part is just so much more epic and powerful when Michael sings it. I don't see how there are differing opinions on this. I really don't...
Nathaniel Stewart
auntie are you ok, are you okay auntie?
Angel Lopez
Yeah but the "Annie are you okay?" part in the AAF version is soooo much better.
I concede that the "Will you tell us that you're ok?" part is pretty good in the original.
Different strokes. Incidentally, I feel like both the Seal and Mushroomhead versions of Crazy are both awesome in their own way.
Anthony Ross
Literally the wrong way around
Bentley White
Back go
Hudson Miller
I just listened to both to be sure. I didn't even make it through the cover. I'm on the third time through the original. Literally can't stop listening to it.
Nicholas Rodriguez
Smooth Criminal is the only Michael Jackson song I genuinely enjoy, and for me it's the other way around. When I was a kid I preferred the Alien ant farm version because I thought it was less gay, but as an adult I find Michael Jackson's version way more hardcore. The singing is in a different realm than alien ant farm and actually conveys emotion, although I do enjoy the early 00s douchbag vibes from the latter.
Jackson Russell
is AAF /ourband/?

>Smooth Criminal is the only Michael Jackson song I genuinely enjoy
Why's that?
Camden Davis
AAF did have a good song on the Tony Hawk 3 soundtrack. I don't remember what the fuck it was, but at the time, I liked it.
Evan Miller
I thought so too. This song isn't bad though. m.youtube.com
Evan Brooks
The best Jackson is when they just turned him loose and let him do what he wanted.
Parker Wilson
Uh, not a big fan of the man's work I guess. Beat it is alright. There may be some lesser known songs that I would enjoy, but among his best known tracks it's Smooth Criminal or nothing.
John Murphy
I just listened to both, it's a tough call.
Alien Ant Farm's version has more fun memories attached to it, but that 80's feel of MJ's is amazing
Wyatt Lee
Skip to 40 seconds in... Probably the best singer of all time.
Chase Collins
Beat It and Billie Jean are probably the only two MJ songs I can listen to if they're on. Frankly I think the guy is overrated as fuck, but I'm 30 and my early memories of his videos are Black and White and the one where he's in front of Giza or something. I was too busy listening to mainstream wigger shit and faggy pre-britney spears 90s pop.
Jayden Miller
Ace of Base for the fucking win, user!
Kevin Wood
I was really surprised to hear that AAF was actually a nu metal band
It's called Wish
Michael Smith

Gabriel Rodriguez
Anyone sounds better when they're acapella'ing with themselves. That said, this is definitely a good song.
Liam Morgan
Fair enough, you should check out the HIStory album though if you like smooth criminal
Andrew Torres
op sounds more like
>be underage fag
>hear aaf version first and think it's great
>later real people tell me that it's just a fake rip off
>i pretend to have known and say 'yea it's really cheap'
>later when noone cares anymore i can finally come out of the closet again and admit i was a faggot all along
Eli Martinez
Thank you, based user...
Still pretty good. Either that or the memories of doing ollies over bums (it was a different time) as Darth Maul is too great to not love it.
Gabriel Martin
Dude, the semester I had to take classes at the main campus I was disappointed that I couldn't just blast The Sign and All That She Wants in the open anymore for fear of being labeled a pussy.
Sebastian Perez

William Nelson
wew fucking lad
Austin Collins
>tfw Michael Jackson died 8 years already
Luis Price

Ayden Torres
...the years like grains of sand in the wind...
Xavier Walker
its pretty good numetal desu
Landon Cooper
I'm 25 and I unironically thought this when AAF's version came out, then when I was a little older I heard MJ's song and loved it. I like both, even though MJ's original had more depth and emotion I guess. AAF were a generic copy-paste rock band at the time.
Hudson Williams

Smooth Criminal was a terrible song, Movies was too. But the album has some genuinely decent tracks.
At least far as I remember.
Logan Perez
And right. WCD is dead. Fuck.

Do you even into /butmoooom/?
Elijah Cooper
Live in Yokohama from 1987. 1st leg of his Bad tour where he has tons of energy and his voice is still on point. If there were better versions from Tokyo then that would be it. Dangerous from Bucharest is pretty great too, but he lipsyncs too much for me during this time but his dancing is still great and the final man in the mirror performance is amazing. Granted the Bucharest footage has several shots taken from other concert locations, its still great. His history shows are not worth watching, except for his dancing which he does some cool stuff. This is It is great in that it shows him in his element working to make a great show.
If only the stupid Estate would release remastered footage of his live shows, then we could get proper footage from his other tours like Victory, Triumph and destiny. I'd kill for a remastered Tokyo 1987.
His wembly show from 88 is pretty good too.

God bless Joe Jackson for beating the ever loving fuck out of him until he became the greatest performer in history. God bless baby Michael too.

2000's were a good year.
