Mike D always blew my mind. Such an unassuming sort of geeky looking guy and would spit out those rhymes with the best of them. The old never judge a book by its cover i guess. These guys were just fun to watch, so entertaining. And so original in their own rite.
What I love about the Beastie Boys is that they were all just friends having fun on stage. No secret grudges, no lawsuits against another, and no replacements. They put their friendship before their fame.
These guys laid the foundation for most if not all if the music we hear today. ADAM YAUCH WILL BE MISSED. We all need to pour a lil for an influential, musical mastermind this evening. Thanks for everything MC A.
I'm still not over Yauch's death. It hits home, kind've like losing a friend. And they always change up their shit live, thats why I want all these live recordings so I can hear them all @__@
I seen em' in 1987, Twice. Liscenced To Ill tour, the second time was a double bill-Beasties and RUN DMC. Two of the best live performances I ever witnessed. That's the Ill shit.
thank you so much for translating!...As an American born in Germany (who's loved the beasties for over 20 years now) I had no idea what Mike D was saying..
The first time I saw them was on the Licensed to Ill tour Public Enemy and Murphy's Law opened up in Philly they were throwing Ice Cold Cans of Budweiser in the crowd it was out of control and yes I'm 49 years old
This actually sounded better than the recorded version. Goes to show the 'Beasties' always hold it down live!!!!!! Can only say that about very few artists today....Saw them in 4 different concerts and always kept the crowd alive, always the same 'energy'!! Long live the Beasties. The afterlife has a treat awaiting them....It's MCA!!!!!
@randomhomies69 I was 17 when I saw them at the licensed to ill tour in 1987. I still have a shirt with the crashing plane on the back. That was nice, but believe you me, you don't want to be 41 like I am!!! Just enjoy them now, find some archive footage and be happy you're still 15 with a whole life in front of you....
@TheSuperTett No, no he's not. He's still recovering from cancer. Recovery takes as long as it takes for that person to feel at 100% again. I think if he had died, we'd know about it by now. Some people take more time to get back to where they were pre-cancer than others, so patience is key.
Lawl, no need to get your knackers in a knot kids... I was just saying that the house of pain is classic, badass rap. The beastie boys are younger, newer, hip hop stuff. I never said that they were bad, just different.
