Hello Nasty is prob my fav, but tbh I haven't listened to any of the others all the way through.

But like, I still love them?

 

Love this

 

The Night the Beastie Boys Got Punked by Liverpool

 

Also worth mentioning I've been enjoying the No Dogs In Space podcast's series on them

 

What a classic.

I Know we posted this before, but....

 

I'm a huge fan of this band, since Hello Nasty came out when I was 12. But these days I only ever stick on Check Your Head, I'll Communication or Hello Nasty. Appreciate Paul's Boutique and its artistic achievement but it's not a style I'm massively into, still find the rapping a bit grating compared to the 90s stuff.

 

Man I miss them so much.....the first cassette tape I ever bought was License to Ill when I was 10....and I only grew to appreciate their work more as I got older

 

I should read the Beastie Boys book again. tons of fun nuggets in there.

Not awful in my opinion, So Watcha Want the only truly significant miss.

 

Thoughts on the track?

The one song Beastie Boys wish they could delete from history

 

I genuinely love that dopey song as its video was a big part of my youth and my band in high school covered it. I’m kinda surprised to hear it was meant to be a parody when LTI is very bro-y and misogynistic in an Andrew Dice Clay of-the-times kind of way. Nothing else in their catalog comes across as juvenile, so it’s a good thing they quickly moved on from it with PB and beyond.

 

i agree, it's a nice piece in time and they were clearly talented considering all the follow up releases..

 

Huge fan, one of the bands I've listened to for the longest, but I never listen to this song or album. But I recognise that without it's success they wouldn't have been given the support for Paul's Boutique or even Check Your Head given PBs initial lack of success

Surely these guys have a pretty comprehensive vault of tracks? Whatever happened to Hot Sauce Committee Pt 1?

 

According to the book, they lost the hard drive of it on a boxcar in Missoula, MT.

I lived there for years and have not recovered it hahaha

 

Haha no way, that sucks!

 

I never knew they were married
