Of course, no discussion of the "Beat It" multitracks is complete without the isolated guitar layers. The session famously features Steve Lukather on rhythm guitar and bass, but the crown jewel is Eddie Van Halen’s legendary solo. In the exclusive multitrack view, you can hear the exact moment Eddie’s amplifier hums to life. The solo, which Van Halen performed for free as a favor, is a lightning strike of "brown sound" tapping and dives that famously caused a speaker in the control room to catch fire during the session. Hearing the dry signal of this solo reveals the technical complexity and the sheer spontaneous energy that a polished radio mix can sometimes mask.

| Myth | Truth from Multitrack | |-------|------------------------| | “The drums are a LinnDrum machine.” | No – live drums (Jeff Porcaro) with Simmons electronic pads for toms. | | “Eddie played a solo and Jackson sang over it.” | Solo was recorded last, after vocals. Jackson never heard it until playback. | | “The song is in mono.” | Stems show full stereo – but the bass and kick are mono for vinyl cutting. | | “There are 48 tracks.” | Only 24 – but heavy bouncing of sub-mixes to free tracks. |
The drum track is another highlight, with its driving beat and precision timing. You can hear the individual drum hits, from the kick drum to the snare, and appreciate the skill of the drummer.
