Si Raja Pop Michael Jackson memang tidak pernah mati. Sebuah album tribute versi metal digagas oleh sekumpulan rocker dunia untuk mengenang karya-karya musisi yang meninggal 25 Juni 2009 ini. Tak kurang belasan nama-nama besar di musik rock dan metal ikut berpartisipasi di album yang digagas oleh produser pemenang Grammy Award Bob Kulick. Terdapat nama-nama seperti Doug Aldrich, Billy Sheehan, Bruce Kulick, Rudy Sarzo, Tony Franklin, Craig Goldy, Bumblefoot, Phil Campbell, dll.

Rudy Sarzo seperti yang ditulis oleh Blabbermouth sampai berkomentar: “Musik Michael Jackson sejajar dengan ikon rock seperti Eddie Van Halen, Steve Stevens dan Slash. Jadi pantas-pantas saja kalau komunitas rock membuat tribute untuk artis legendaris ini dengan konsep Metal Mike.”

Album yang diberi nama Thriller: A Metal Tribute to Michael Jackson telah dirilis pada tanggal 22 Oktober lalu oleh label Cleopatra.
