From Allen Sides….
“First let me say that Micheal was one of the nicest most thoughtful people I have ever met. Having him in my studios was a total joy. What I meant when I spoke about Quincy had nothing to do with Q’s musical input to any of Michael’s song’s. Quincy was more than a producer he was somewhat of a life coach with Michael and they were very close. I saw this many times over the years including during We Are The World. I am sure Bruce Sweidien who was one of my closest friends would confirm this if he was still with us. When I said Michael was high as a kite it was because I had never seen him so hyped up (I have no idea if he had taken anything) and Quincy was smoothly trying to calm him down and keep things rolling smoothly. What I meant about things were much crazier after Quincy left was more about the shocking amount of studio time and money being spent with very loose coordination. Michal made great records with Quincy and great records after Quincy. I watched Michael at work making music many times over the years and he was involved in every decision. I should also note that Bruce Swedien was an integral part of all those records way more than just an engineer and Michael valued and trusted his advice. Hope this helps, Allen
F-ing LIAR
Stop lying it was probably drowsiness due to prescription medication
another white man discrediting mj cuz we need more of that
I was even high, I was 11.
All I did was watch it on MTV
You have no idea how much pain he was probably in
I will always honor Michael Jackson. ❤❤❤😢 love him
We Are the World is the lowest point in the history of modern music.
Probably because he just had part of his fucking scalp burnt …
Communist, Bruce Springsteen, was there.
Bullshit and Bullshit
I think that burn he suffered was way worse than reported. After all he was hitting on all cylinders and his handlers just numbed him out and the show went on and on!
No he wasn't. He is on another planet as an artist.
People always have seem bullshit to aay about Mike, jealousy? Idk but we can't have nothing good ever smh
The guy telling the story seems very high, slow down 😂😂
baby mike smk some weed😂❤
Snitches get what?
Why do I remember that famous call and response duet being between Springsteen and Ray Charles instead of Stevie Wonder we now see?
MJ was very on point in the Making of We Are the World. It's all documented.
This guy talks so fast I can't even understand what he's saying in the beginning.
He wasn't high your High
Quincy was his WHAT? "Cluss cluss"?
Looked like Mikewas actually one of the sober ones!
Have you seen the behind the scenes? If MJ was high he would not have noticed Cyndi Lauper and 2 others singing out of key. Also he wouldnt have tried fo have everyone singing the chorus in an African dialect.
Bull shit
Michael didn't get high. This a-hole just made that up to sound sensational. Shame on him.
Michael was high and he was the only one who did his part in one take ?
Someone whos never named in these interviews is Paul Simon. Was he the only one sober? 😅
BS Wacko Jack did nearly all of his parts in private and laid the demo way before that gathering.
People need to stop defending a kiddie toucher.
Who wrote the melody?
And still nailed his takes like an OG whilst everyone was fcking shit up 😂
And Dan Ackroid sang.
Not high but medicated
Mike NEVER took drugs!! He was on painkillers and u could tell by watching outtakes MJ wasn't high whatsoever!! GTFOH
This dude giving us the info sounds like he's on a bit of coke himself 😆
Michael nunca usou. Drogas. So. Remedios mesmo
Bro Shut the hell up. You didn’t have to bring that up, who gives a damn? Still 1 of the Greatest ever
