Michael Jackson in fuss with Mr Big and his goons.

- would've been Michael's 51st birthday
- the day Oasis split up
- our one only swedish astronaut Christer Fuglesang made his second voyage into space with space shuttle Discovery

Featured as 9th track on Dig Out Your Soul, Liam Gallagher were inspired by his spell behind bars in Münich, Germany after a bar brawl. He, drummer Alan White and three members of the contentious bands crew were arrested after a vicious punch-up at the Bayerischer Hof hotel with local gangsters. Liam lost two front teeth. The Oasis lads were charged with assault-related offences. However people blame Oasis for starting the fight, which isn't true according to Liam the composer. I tried in return to visualize, bring out or somehow capture the furiousity borned out of untrue and unfair accusations, as the time Michael Jackson spent with such.

There were a few genial ideas here I loved to turn real although I did not completely nailed everything, like the ending. I had lots of pressure to finish this and make it right, and you got quite a technical prestation here in terms of video editing.
The first 1½ minute of this song you see Michael perform the bar brawl in You Rock My World and there's the choreography. When the fire consumes the place there's glass smashed in the middle and you'll experience a mad psychedelic mess of
Smooth Criminal rest of the movie. The tense atmosphere and violence is featured in both films merged into one, the first featured film is all about building up anger to the outburst of psychedelic madness that is in the second film and it just ends with a gunshot. Apart from additional sound effects I mixed the album version of the song with the demo version, so if you don't appreciate the visual content you can always listen to this hybrid recording (along with SFX explosions and windows breaking).

Some information about the rivalry between Liam
and Noel, to understand more why Oasis killed themselves.

Liam's twitter, where he increases tension with
brother Noel to the 29th august fight. Personally
I prefered they didn't do that.
I haven't got Noel's twitter. The bad relationship makes no sense to me considering how they made
a splendid album together only a few months earlier.


Footnote -
The main reason I have three videos of this kind on my youtube channel is to celebrate Michael Jackson or Oasis in this artistic way as a big fan.
The first one, Bag It Up, came online shortly after the release of Dig Out Your Soul, and worked as a tribute to the new Oasis album. The second one was a follow-up derived from the same editing project but instead, celebrated the announcement of Michael Jackson's comeback in form of the "This Is It" concert. And this, which is the third and last one of my personal tributes, turned out to be not only a response to Michael Jackson's death and (51st) birthday, but also an expression of my own feelings at that time and the Oasis split up which coincidentely occured at the same point. (and yes I have recorded other music videos but there's no point sharing them anymore)
No matter, enjoy what there is and appreciate
the brilliant talent that is the King of Pop!
