Had to throw this in here to those of us old enough to remember the Beastie Boys. Thought it was hilarious. | ||

Ok, that's messed up!  | ||

Ah, the beastie boys. They started as a punk band. Sometimes I think they're just mocking rap and hip-hop. | ||
| Ft_bstrd |
Evidently Fight for Your Right was actually a parody that no one got. They hated the trash your hotel room rocker people. | ||

old enough to remember the Beastie Boys Ummmm... OLD ENOUGH??? They're still around! | ||

I got there cd in my cd player in the truck right now! Love the beasty boys. I like alice in chains and temple of the dog also. | ||
| Kyrocket |
Well, still around but in bad shape. One of them, Adam Yauch I think, has cancer. How old are they anyway? In their 50's maybe? | ||
| Pwnzor |
MCA is doing much better... Adam Yauch beats cancer | ||

BRASS MONKEY!!! On a similar note, watched the SNL Christmas special the other nite, saw the "D!ck in a Box" skit with Timberlake and co...  | ||

Got the Beasties on vinyl! Open it up, and it's a plane into a cliff. Ahhhhh, the memories of riding my bicycle through the neighborhood, hummin' the song Brass Monkey........ | ||

If you put the cover in the mirror, the tail number reads EAT ME. | ||

If you're wondering if they have any clout in the Industry...just look at the cast of that video. Truly amazing for three punks from Brooklyn (their own words). If you haven't caught them live....DO IT. Just an UN-BE-LEIVABLE show. Act I , when I saw them, was current stuff with a couple classics. Act II was a free-form instrumental session - and the last "current" song was 3 MC's and 1 DJ. On "god-damn that DJ made my day", MixMaster Mike just lit OFF into a solo that turned into the freeform session. Then...the encore from hell. Fight for your right. Brass monkey. Sabotage. Hey Ladies. Awesome stuff, for about 25 minutes. Now I wanna go see them again. Good stuff. | ||
| Whatever |
Rat... uh... You have lost my respect.  | ||
| Danger_dave |
Just like I remembered them. Quite forgettable. | ||
| Geedee |
They haven't got any better over the years. Does anyone else notice the chemtrail / aerosol spraying in the sky in that video? It's about the only memorable thing in it. | ||

Ratbuell, pay the detractors no mind... | ||

Hell yes I remember And a few too many nights I can't remember listening to them.  | ||

I do believe I wore out a cassette tape (that's pre-CD for you younger folk) of License to Ill. | ||

I never got to see them live as the Beasties, but I did get to see part of one of their side shows doing a punk only set around the time of Ill Communication. I'm not into hip-hop, but Check Your Head is one of my all time favourite albums. It's like listening to a really cool mix tape of all sorts of stuff, but it all fits  | ||

+1 on Check Your Head. We remember walking across the parking lot at the Orange County (FL) fairgrounds on our way to the entrance gate for Lollapalooza 2, and being amazed at how many of the tailgaters had that CD/cassette playing. Groovy. Gotta give props to "The In Sound From Way Out" CD for their instrumental stuff. Not only have the Beastie Boys had staying power, but they have also given back. Check out their work with the Milarepa Fund benefiting Tibet. |
