Another Michael Jackson Sonic 3 Compairison

[SalamanserDP]

ooo this is why sonic 3 music is very diferent than sonic and sonic 2, sonic and sonic 2 musics are very similar, but sonic 3 is diferent, why?

[VolcanBrimstone]

@KILLERTHEHEDGEHOG100 Smooth Criminal and Ice Cap Zone Act 1. Who Is It and Ice Cap Zone Act 2.

[gjtrue]

SEGA should just break down & admit MJ composed some of Sonic 3's music!

[DihDin]

@gjtrue They somewhat did. Brad Buxer comfirmed that the end credits theme is from him and MJ and also that he worked on it. Though it wasn't exactly Sega saying it.

[masorick]

@gjtrue Well, Brad Buxer said MJ wanted out because he wasn't satisfied with how the tracks sounded. There must be some kind of contract between MJ and Sega: "You can use the tracks, just don't tell they're mine." Just because MJ is dead doesn't mean the contract isn't in force anymore.

[kyubihanyou]

@masorick

MJ seemed to be more of a coordinator than an active contributor in this. Composing the credits theme that would later become Stranger in Moscow with Brad Buxer appears to be his only contribution aside from directing his colleagues (and Scirocco). Tokuhiko Uwabo (aka Bo) had the same kind of role for the Sega Sound Team except he didn't compose at all.

Even if MJ didn't compose them (Buxer, his go-to arranger, is more likely), the songs are still copyrighted to him.

[MegaUnknown43]

protection for gangs close at........oh is the song over

[revo1utionary]

lol! this example is so obvious yet i never made the connection. especially at the beginning, and the guitar riff haha, thats crazy!

[Windstar92]

I don't see it. Haha.

[CubanoRicanTony360]

I dont c the difference

[SerenityMoon92]

no wonder i love the soundtrack to this game so much!!!

[Karlslasher80]

just imagine some gay niggers touching multiple penises when buttfucking a cardboard cutout of Michael Jackson!

RIP 1958-2009

[QuesoGr7]

@Karlslasher80

The hell is wrong with you?! What about this video made you say that?!

[fanoultimatev3]

@Karlslasher80 no

[alexpain1000]

There is a somewhat simalirty.

[mslond5thper]

Jdub14000 I totally hear it. I think MJ for leaving a secret for his fans.

[Jdub14000]

I can't hear it.

[Jami393]

Just to let you know these songs have got a strong connection, but at the end of the day Azure Lake was composed by Howard Drossin who worked for sega has a composer

[narutoko13]

its in the news it is his its in yahoo news right now

[theceng]

it wasnt coincidence michael did write it but he wasnt credited as he didnt like the final versiojn on the game look it up on google

[fivefamly]

HOLY CRAP man these sonic 3 songs sound awfully alike with MJ songs. Its so cool.

[imthetube44]

WOAH black and white and azure sound awfully alike. its crazy

[FourTwoNineStudios]

Guys, get Sonic Mega Drive Ultimate Collection (I think for PS3) and check the 'Museum' for Sonic 3, it says MJ WAS going to do the music for Sonic 3.

[Cenaman911]

iSNT THE GAME FOR XBOX360 TOO YUP

[BelieveIt1051]

No... I don't hear any similarities in these. Try again.

[RikuBlader11]

rumour has it do to the fact Mj was blamed on molestation SEGA took his orginal tracks abs alternated theme so they would be apart of controversy apartly they are now

[MastaGambit]

Dude, the molestation case didn't come up until around 2000 >:S

[supershadow125]

you know here is another song mj had in a song he had and it think it was recent but the music had a beat from the song with me by all ends and crush 40 (in sonic and the black knight)

[awepittance]

hello DihDin, check out my video response when you get a chance. I think you definitly found a new MJ match up so i was inspired by what you found and made a version that is a little different (only using the MJ acapella)

[nonobaOMGWEEGEE2]

@aweputtance there is no response.... YOU LIED!

[iheartclarkent]

wow they do sound the same lol

[Cancoria]

I think you might have something here. Nice job catching onto this, I can totally hear it.

[ReloadPsi]

You know what? This is kinda plausible. There are some subtle similarities that suggest that someone heard the song then managed to come up with this and had no idea where they got the inspiration from :P

[Nintendoom911]

I'm working on a full length mashup of the two songs, and as i am working on it, i can definitely hear it

[crys266]

As a musician, and MJ fan, I can hear this!!! Well done! Thank You so much x

[magicbologna]

they....really don't sound alike...lol. I was wating for it every time, cause ive hear some other comparisons...but its just like...oook..yup....no..not...­no....nooo......yeah-no..not alike.. each time on this one.

[shrek187]

Stop denying this Sega, MJ was involved with Sonic 3 music.

RIP MJ You will truly be missed

:''''''(

[Armin600]

SEGA CAN CHOKE ON MY PUBES.

THIS..and a SHITLOAD OF OTHERS.... IS MICHAEL JACKSON'S MUSIC

[blazikenowen]

@shrek187 he wont be people will just latch on something else and maker of this vid the tunes sound NOTHING alike

[pump20]

RIP Michael Jackson

[Shadowluigi2009]

OMFG I though it I was the only one who noticed this!

[caneida]

MJ really did compose music for sonic 3, but it was erased later, but the director wanted to keep the music by keeping the chords, some part of the melody, or the beat. For example, the song, Who is it and ice cap zone.

[SOnicpower451]

Now thats pretty cool! Micheal jackson songs sounding like Sonic 3 songs

[KittyNakafima]

lol i hear it, it matches lol

[pirajacinto]

If anything, this sounds more like the menu song from MvC2.

[horaciosi]

i like the begining of black of white

[DanameaTheBattleLock]

The Theory Is that:

Sega Got MJ to make some of the music for Sonic 3, But decided to back out of having his name connected to the game due to MJ at the time of the games release, being in hot water with the law in relation to his pending Pedophile Charges.

I spose Sega didnt want a suspected Child Abuser connected to their 'Directed at Children' Video game.

[doshemekluta]

lol youtube

[Andrew28b]

eh not enough proof

[spiderzip3099]

the chord prorgression in each song is in a diffrent tune but identical.

and wikipedia has your discovorey now :x

[BrooklynNY1992]

possibility its similar

[Beethoven1111]

I always thought they sounded similair. This and the end credits bear amazing similairity to his songs, along with Ice Cap Zone and Carnival Night zone. I heard he did do the music but was left out of the credits due to certain things he did

[Nellygirl2008]

I can hear it, it's enough proof for me.

[jaggass]

does sound similar

[funkymonkey494]

That's scary! O_0

[davzliam]

Definate simalarity

[sonicmarioTDfan347]

Who's Howard Drossin?

[DihDin]

He's the guy who did the music for Sonic & Knuckles, Sonic Spinball, and Comix Zone.

[figment1988]

he's also the voice of Sketch Turner in Comix Zone. and not only did he compose music for Sega, but he also composed some original tunes which was used as background music at Universal's Islands of Adventure.

[DihDin]

He ios also a voice in Dynamite Cop. He's the guy who says "We have a situation down here"

[Looktisme]

He appears in space Channel 5 too.

[AbelxHaroldxDermont]

@sonicmarioTDfan347 a music komposer from sonic 3 sega sound/music division

[ccinnervisions]

thats definitely mj

[DihDin]

It's based on his music but it's certainly not from MJ himself, it's definitely from HD.

[sonicmarioTDfan347]

Can someone please make a video with a mix of both songs and call it Black or Azure? That would be Awesome!

[youssef11223344]

wow that sounds great thumbs up to dihdin for pointing this out

[DihDin]

Wikipedia is an un-trustable source, here's the real quote from roger himself.

"Michael Jackson was originally brought in to compose all the music for the game, but at the very end, his work was dropped after his scandals became public. This caused a lot of problems and required a lot of reworking."

[cheesewheel]

I stopped reading at "Wikipedia is an un-trustable source".

[DihDin]

Well, i meant "un-reliable" That was posted a year ago, i'm much more grammatically fluent now.

[Shdinexus]

WIKIPÉDIA. GO TO THE ENDO OF THE PAGE. YOU CAN READ THIS.

"Note: According to Roger Hector, Michael Jackson was contacted to be the music composer of this game, which was known as Sonic 3. Due to the scandals that time, Jackson was not available to support."

[KeijiDragon]

I really can't hear the resemblance.

Though, there's something about 0:30-1:14. have you tried putting the music together?

Oh, and you misspelled "Comparison" on your video title.

[DihDin]

Well, slow down the AL song and put it along with BoW. Or just Compair.

[Surronded]

Can't see the resemblance, just in your imagination...

[AngelsBergen]

Personally I'd have to say this one was by howard drossin, after they gave MJ the bewt.

Listen to the instruments near the start, the exact same ones used in sonic & knuckles (Flying Battery Zone & Death Egg).

But I guess when Drossin was brought in to finish the soundtrack off - giving him full credit would've been illegal.. ?

[DihDin]

Like i said, i think it's Drossin, i think all the competition tracks are from him(i can definately tell Endless Mine is, compare the Act 1 Boss theme, One of the bonus stages and the Staff Roll from Comix Zone)

[DihDin]

Just so you people know, i don't beleive Michael Jackson composed this song, it sounds more like Howard Drossin's work, i just wanted to point out the similarities, Howard might have done this as a tribiute to MJ, or maybe he was a MJ fan and/or liked that song and decided to use BoW as inspiration.

[Shemfreedom]

Sounds good to me! Nice find!

[Kerrandrius]

You may be right.
