What Album Covers Are Really Trying To Tell Us: 2: Michael Jackson – Bad
Hmm, not really a secret message this one. But sometimes evil hides in plain sight. Look at Rolling Stones gigs.
Okay, have you noticed it yet? Do you think it is the excessive use of buckles in Michael Jackson black suit. When you think about it, only one form of clothing actually uses buckles like this. A strait jacket. That this album cover is hinting to us is that Jacko is actually mad. Well who’d have thought? But not, that’s not it. Look again…
White, black and red are the predominant colours. JUST LIKE A TABLOID NEWSPAPER. Michael is trying to tell us that from this moment on his life will be lived as some sort of ghastly soap opera in the British tabloid press, and thus is pleading with us to not be complicit in this cruelty. Again a fine theory, but one which credits the so called King Of Pop with too much intelligence. Would that there was a Bastille Day of Pop and I could decapitate him.
Maybe a little bit of work on the album cover will stress what this secret hidden meaning is. Lets fade out Michael a touch:
There, see the secret meaning now?
THIS ALBUM IS BAD. DO NOT BUY IT.
This time you can’t say you weren’t warned.
Apparently, Prince said the Album was called “Bad” because there wasn’t enough space for “pathetic”.
Ey Headon you’re phoning it in a bit with this one aren’t you? What next? “Michael Jackson ‘Dangerous’? Too right he is!”
[…] After this stinging criticism regarding the secret message on Bad from Steve Mannion, I have decided to look closer at an album that is not even out yet. This way I can discover the secret message, and spread it to you BEFORE YOU ACTUALLY BUY IT. And so Jamie T, all new darling of the London music scene J’Accuse… […]
erm your album cover would look like you sucking a horses dick after its been in your dead grandmothers ass!
You’re an asshole, and your theories are pointless and whack. That was a great album, Michael Jackson is AMAZING, and you suck! And Prince never said that about MJ!
In fact, the only reason Prince didn’t do the duet on ‘Bad’ with Michael is becuase he said that the song would do perfectly well without his input.
It’s a great album, most probably my favourite.
wtf this album was bad ass. its great, i like it better than thriller, Man in the Mirror one of the greatest songs in history, and it has the record of having 5 #1s and Prince never said that-.- another great song in that album is Dirty Diana!!
