Took a few phone calls

Before Eddie Van Halen agreed to add a guitar break to Michael Jackson’s “Beat It,” one of the most famous cameos in rock history, he had to be sure the phone call from producer Quincy Jones wasn’t a practical joke.

“I went off on him. I went, ‘What do you want, you f-ing so-and-so!,’” Van Halen told CNN in 2012, 30 years after he worked on the song. “And he goes, ‘Is this Eddie?’ I said, ‘Yeah, what the hell do you want?’ ‘This is Quincy.’ I’m thinking to myself, ‘I don’t know anyone named Quincy.’ He goes, ‘Quincy Jones, man.’ I went, ‘Ohhh, sorry!’”


I remember buying the Thriller album for my sisters during Christmas 1982

To this day they still talk about it as the worst Christmas gift they ever got from me LOL

We where in high school during the Hair Bands of rock , Michael Jackson I guess didn’t fit the bill

to have the large impact he did on many genres over such a long time frame is immensely impressive. That man could adapt and had vision.
