Smooth Criminal is one of Michael's most under appreciated songs on the US charts. It was barely top ten in its first run. It has since gone double platinum if sales. It is one of those rare cases where it over saturated the market with Moonwalker videos and MTv that people didn't need to buy it to hear it all the time.

Many thanks again for this nice cover !

As normal humans, we just want to revel vicariously and in awe of the great natural and practiced talents of those who excel at whatever it is they happen to excel at. Thank you for being this person for bass guitar. I believe you truly are the best, subjectively speaking, but, damn, you're so good!

This is such a cool concept, awesome video! Only note, Van Halen only played the solo. Every other guitar part was done by the highly underrated and perpetually talented Steve Lukather from Toto, including those funky fills. [Edit: Lukather also played the bass on the recording, as well]

Dude, that was pure fire ... Especially No. 7 & 8 ... I can listen to this slap all day. Keep up good work

First thing I listened to on new JBL headphones and as always you blow me away with your skills. The bass sounds amazing

2:08 when you know you nailed it

Love your musicality and your determination Charles! Keep it up!

Dude, that's totally mesmerising. I love the style chapters. Your video edits really suit too. Great work.

Charles, love your channel. It was Steve Lukather that played the rhythm guitar on Beat it. Eddie only played the solo.

I never thought I would love bass this much, everything you do is so good ! you even influenced my guitar style (more taping).

Every single time he just rips the meanest bass solo you've ever heard and it surprises me each time.

At 1:13 riff gave me goosebumps wow legend Michael Jackson, fucking awesome Charles berthoud

actually Steve Lukather of Toto recorded bass and guitar on the Beat It track, van halen did play the solo however.

If Eddie or Michael were alive to hear this... they would shit themselves. Your interpetation of the solo section... Bro, that was one of the most incredible things I've ever heard. 10/10 ☁😳☁ Mind. Blown.

Thank you. I was basically having another Monday, and this flipped my day around as it's my first favorite song from when I was 5. Thank you Charles.

All your music is a pleasure to be able to listen to. Thank you. Great talent.

I'm surprised that for 2 you didn't go with "Michael Slapson" instead. IT WAS RIGHT THERE! Seriously though, awesome video and playing as usual.

I love how you went with “Slapchael Jackson” instead of “Michael Slapson” 😂

Absolutely brilliant!

This is spectacular playing and composing, you are just so good

Charles: pretends that the note is difficult to play in the beginning Me: we all know that u gonna play it easily u bastard 🤣🤣

Can we have a series where you go into a guitar store and just shred the bass and film the worker’s reactions?

2:08 Dat damn smile

After listening to this MJ must be rejoicing & the heavens resounding with the heavenly piece by Charles. 👍👍👍Kindly come up with a longer version please.

I don't play bass but you're my fav musician on KZread ❤️

Charles, your play style makes me want to buy a bass. It’s very impressive, man. I have a request, if you have the time and desire, of course. There is a game called Toejam & Earl, from sega mega drive. It’s an old one, from 1991. For me, it’s the best bass game soundtrack ever made. It’s nothing complex, but there is something cool about it. Could you make a pro bass version of something of the soundtrack? I would appreciate it. Anyway. Nice job, man. Regards!

Just insane, always mind blowing seeing your renditions 👌

i love seeing the faces u make when playing 😂 u are so into it i love it

We need SLAPCHAEL TAPSON Playing ROCK WITH YOU

DAmAGE 5 string bass solo? I have never seen anyone do it and it looks like a great way to come back to tuning experiments!

Nice series, Charles, really. keep it up!

Genius interpretation as expected ☺️ really enjoyed this 👍

lol i was just thinking about how much i love michael jackson and catching some of his older videos on youtube. he would have fucking loved this no doubt.

Your technique is incredible, but it is not the thing i appreciate the most in your music. I mean, technique is cool but not the goal. What's really amazing is your unique style. You are really an original composer. Keep it up!!

Thank you charles you give me the Motivation to Keep make progres learning bass. And i love your Tapping !!
