Req: Pictures from 85 & 86

[Themidwestcowboy]

I feel like these years are mystery years and that was the time when he made the transition from thriller era to bad era.

So please share all your pictures from those years!

So during that time he wrote and recorded "We are the World", won the Grammy, made Captain EO, stopped in London to visit his Madame Tussaud statue and check on the progress of the ATV catalog and visited Australia to seal the deal. In 86 he was writing and recording BAD and started production on his short films to go with it.

Are you talking about these kinds of professional pictures or are you looking for personal ones for those years-behind the scenes types of pix. Or just any pix.

Lol yeah you're right there is a lot of stuff availble from those years but I mean more candid pictures. Him out and about and stuff like that

^^Thats what I thought you probably meant. It is funny though.-I remember that time and the newspapers were saying he had "disappeared" and had become a recluse. No one had seen him.
And then look at all the stuff he was actually doing at the time. Lol.

So true, Michael was never a recluse! Honestly, even during the most darkest days he had his ranch open for people to come and visit, he had friends over there all the time, he made spontaneous trips to surprise his friends etc etc. Just because they didn't see him at many events, or because he wasn't out everynight partying to the sunrise, or just because he refused to do interviews [which is also kinda silly, cause he really gave a lot of interviews throughout his life], they labeled him a recluse.

Jermaine Jr. is super cute in these.

aha. Yes it does. I'm old now and blind as a bat. Lol.
When were the pix at Lucas's ranch taken? I'd imagine right around the filming.

there really is something interesting between that 1985-86 time where you can see Thriller era turn into bad visually in his face, style, hair etc.. Id like to figure out the months that I can see the transformation!


my obsessive side!!

This "Thrad" era (I think that's funny) is really cool to look at-lots of great pictures-it reminds me of the 3T reality show last year, when they were hanging around so much with Michael then, and kept asking him why his hair was growing out-then they saw "Bad" and it all made sense. It was really a change to an even more "glamorous, but dangerous look"-he's just flat out gorgeous in all these pictures.
