We’re really not going to get anything?

That's good to know. I'd bet on it too. It would be strange if zero VH product would come out in the next 100 years. However it would be great to have a bit more details about what said products will be.

Maybe something like this will have to happen for us to get anything..

https://www.mjworld.net/news/2023/01...en-and-leaked/

Renowned music engineer Brad Sundberg’s laptop was stolen this week during a break at one of his “In The Studio With MJ” events in Brussels, leading to the leaks of several unreleased songs by the late King of Pop, Michael Jackson.

Sundberg’s laptop contained a significant amount of unreleased material by the iconic singer, predominately from the late 1980s and early 1990s. He would play them for fans who attended the events over the years.

The stolen songs, which were recorded during Michael’s “Bad” and “Dangerous” eras, have now surfaced on various online platforms, causing a frenzy among the fans. This is not the first time that unreleased material by Michael has been leaked, but under the circumstance of the theft, it’s certainly the most shocking and disappointing.

Fans have urged others to refrain from sharing or downloading the leaked songs, as they were not intended for public release and may contain unfinished versions of the tracks, as well as damage any plans for potential future releases.

We at MJWN are deeply saddened by the events. We hope those involved will be brought to justice. We will not be posting any links to the stolen material, nor naming the songs that have been leaked.

Michael’s Estate has yet to release a statement on the matter.

My reaction if it was VH stuff:

"This is an outrage! Illegal material being released!
I'd like to check out the link just to have an idea of the magnitude of the crime that has been committed."

There is work being done. I hate to be that guy, but I know from a VERY reliable source (not someone in the band or in the band's management or family) that there is a project in the works which will include unreleased outtakes and alternate versions. Don't believe me, because I never believe anyone who makes statements like the one I just made, but those of you that are familiar with me should know that I don't say things like this and hopefully you know that I don't engage in this kind of speculation. Whether or when these things will be released is another matter, but it is a fact that this is in the works.

Also... the guy has said his piece... you read what he said... now leave him the fuck alone with your million fucking questions. Lol!

I appreciate that...I feel like dick for sharing one of those ambiguous "I know a guy in a very connected position that said..." posts, but I really wouldn't say this unless it was true to the best of my knowledge and faith in the person who told this to me.

Nice. Any idea if any of us, say 50+, will still be alive to enjoy?

Keep us posted.

I'm not saying I don't believe you, but even if it's not true...it's more than we're getting from the band. LOL

Thanks for posting; it's appreciated.

I'm hoping that the product will come in the form of: "we're doing this to honor the life and legacy of EVH," as opposed to a simple money grab.

Best Of Volume I came with three new tracks, as did the Best Of Both Worlds. And I am not gonna be too enthused over a release with just 2-3 outtakes on there.
