Quagmire: I'm eager to hear how anda began working with Michael Jackson and how he contacted you.
Dr. Freeze: I knew his manager, John McClain, and I was working on an album with my partners, Spydermann. After completing the album, it did not go as planned and we had to batal the exit. I was very upset. And then John McClain said, "Do not worry Freeze. I have another project for you. I'll be in business with Michael. "I said:" Michael ... who? "and he said:" Michael Jackson! "I did not believe it at first and I thought it was crazy. And then one hari I was on the phone with my father and someone called me on the other line ... and it was Michael! That's how it all began. I had some songs and I made to Michael. He adored them! Because Michael and I, we have a sound very close. So every time I proposed something, it was easy for him to study the song because it was as if he already knew. I asked him songs and he adored. He cherished them. That's how we met.
Q: Speaking of "Break Of Dawn " , which is a great song. I think that's one of the most sensual songs he has ever made and that's what I wanted to hear Michael. I do not know if anda know, this is the first time he talks about making cinta in a song. I do not know if anda had addressed this very issue with him?
F: (laughs) Yeah, thank you. It was his favorit song was his baby .
Q: Do anda remember the exact number of songs that anda have presented?
F: I introduced him to many songs. The main songs on which we worked are "Break Of Dawn", "A Place With No Name" and "Blue Gangsta". These three songs were our priorities. "Break Of Dawn" is one of the songs that have been finalized. Others have been released later. They are kept in reserve.
Q: So anda suggest songs and Michael berkata if anda liked a particular song. As I understand, he loved every Break Of Dawn, and from there he decided to focus on this particular song. What happened next?
F: We were recording, we changed the studio, we re-register, we recorded lebih songs. anda know, "A Place With No Name" and "Gangsta Blue" were recorded at the same time. There are also some others I can not speak for now. But other songs were recorded. We saved a lot but these three songs were our three main objectives.
Q: What was your mindset in the first hari in studio with him? How did anda feel?
F: It was pretty scary for me! I felt to be back in primary school and not knowing anything about the production! Michael I relearned everything. The other producers and I were as students face a teacher. With Michael, it was as if we knew nothing lebih to our business: we had to start over and relearn everything. He taught us to do everything the best way possible: Michael was a perfectionist and we had to start from scratch to produce the musik for the best possible way. I was very nervous, very nervous but very honored! Anyway, Michael was lebih nervous with anda than anda were with him. It was simply the most wonderful people with whom anda could never dream of working together. It was great! He knew all about the musik industry, everything about everything, nothing was foreign to him, and he taught me a lot. Finally, he was very humble and creative. It was really great to work with him.
Q: anda have therefore proposed his "Break Of Dawn", and then anda had to redo the song in full oleh following his advice?
F: No, he just had to record vocals ... and add his magic! It was like bunga and trees grew in the song! He touched her and it became magical! I was shocked!
Q: So all the musical parts and the lyrics were made in advance?
F: Yes, he loved the song! He wanted to leave it as is! All I had done on this piece, no one had the right to change anything. Because it sounded like he had heard the first time we had a dream, a vision, and he wanted to recreate this dream in song to the last detail. He did not want to change anything, he wanted to keep the magic of the song absolutely intact. What anda hear on Invincible is exactly the version I've diberikan him before he raises his voice there.
Q: How long did it take him to record the song?
F: It took him time because he wanted a lot of momentum in the voice, especially the harmony anda hear in the chorus. It took time. Process studio was as long if we was spinning film!
Q: At that time, he also worked on other songs for Invincible ?
F: Yes .
Q: So he was taken to record his voice, listening to them, arranged them, started working on other songs, then returned a few days later to make additional catch?
F: Yes, it was incremental work. Sometimes he recorded the lead vocals, sometimes it was just the chorus atau adlib ... He also listened to the different mixes and changed some details in here and there. He was in full creative process. We wanted song either perfect and return to my analogy on cinema he was like filmmaker seeking improve his film making evolve script atau changing actors. This type of process it has used to create this song, and overall, the album Invincible .
Q: So basically, he changed a verse, started work on another song, and a few days later, he came to anda to change the song again?
F: Yes. When he returned changes were made and ideas were proposed, he listened attentively. It also arose at times and arranged two atau three things. Ultimately, all decisions were his. It was the boss. It was open to any criticism atau suggestions beneficial to the song, as it kept its effectiveness. All that interested him was to have hits in power.
Q: Who had the idea of taking "A Horse With No Name" group America?
F: That's me. Again, I did all the music, and he only had to learn the lyrics. It was at the same time as Break Of Dawn, but it is not extended and continued to work on it later. It has improved gradually.
Q: Was it planned for the album Invincible atau another project?
F: Initially it was planned for Invincible, yes. It is not out on this album and was therefore kept in reserve as "Blue Gangsta".
Q: Compared to the extract leaked on the Internet, can we expect differences mixing?
F: Yes, what anda heard is an old mix. One you'll soon hear is completely new .
Q: anda berkata "soon"? I am willing to learn more!
F: "A Place With No Name" and "Blue Gangsta". will both be on the selanjutnya album of Michael. "A Place With No Name" will be different from the leak on the internet, it will be updated. For "Blue Gangsta" I rerecorded the instrumental. So expect changes .
Q: Did anda have completed this song with Michael in his lifetime?
F: Absolutely, it had been finalized .
Q: What were your feelings about Michael when anda got to know a bit lebih in the studio?
F: It taught me not only to create a song correctly, but it also gave me saran on the musik industry as a whole. My main feeling is that he was an absolute genius. I was fortunate to learn from one of the greatest. I try to apply his saran in the projects I undertake today: I try to keep alive the artistic spirit of Michael Jackson. It's like if I graduated from college musical "Michael Jackson". Anyway, getting back to your question, the word "feeling" is too low. There is no word strong enough to describe what I learned and lived with the King of Pop.
Q: Do anda have any anecdotes about your studio sessions?
F: Not really. I had great fun working with him. Michael was someone who loved anda make funny jokes. It really spoke to any set, video games, etc.. Then resumed his work, the lesson resumed. We were amazed at its performance. It happened like that.
Q: he warmed up with a lot vocally record the song?
F: Anyone who is warm, either in sports atau singing. We never saw him do his vocal exercises before us, but when he came into the studio to record, he stood before the microphone and set api to the song. As he left, the studio was in ashes and our jaws on the floor. It was really impressive to see.

Hmmm.....How do i win? Can i win all of them?Screw them i'm KING OF POP,of course i win.
Ben, the two of us need look no more
We both found what we were looking for
With a friend to call my own
I'll never be alone
And you, my friend, will see
You've got a friend in me
(you've got a friend in me)
Ben, you're always running here and there
anda feel you're not wanted anywhere
If anda ever look behind
And don't like what anda find
There's something anda should know
You've got a place to go
(you've got a place to go)
I used to say "I" and "me"
Now it's "us", now it's "we"
I used to say "I" and "me"
Now it's "us", now it's "we"
Ben, most people would turn anda away
I don't listen to a word they say
They don't see anda as I do
I wish they would try to
I'm sure they'd think again
If they had a friend like Ben
(a friend) Like Ben
(like Ben) Like Ben
Lyrics: Ben, Michael Jackson [end]
