His influence even reached the hard rock and metal world.
From an article titled:
Alice in Chains Say Michael Jackson Influenced Everybody - Even Slipknot
....
"He had an influence on everybody," Kinney says. "How could you be alive for the last 30 years and not know about Michael Jackson, or heard some of his songs? Even if you're some death metaller guy, don't feel like you can't tell your friends you liked [Jackson's 1979 LP] 'Off The Wall.'"
"(Slipknot vocalist) Corey Taylor has a tattoo of 'Off the Wall' on his back," points out Cantrell, laughing. "So, even Slipknot were fans, I guess."
In case you're unfamiliar with Slipknot, they're these guys.
Far from your typical "pop tarts".
