Beastie Boys This Friday...

[Mr. Juice]

The Beastie Boys are going to be on an episode of MTV2's Video Mods this Friday night (July 22, 11PM/EST). From what I heard they will be playing themselves (as opposed to existing video game characters performing their music) in the title NBA Street 3. Apparently, they did all the motion-capture stuff for their video game likenesses, which is good, because who can do the Beastie Boys better than the Beastie Boys? On top of that, there's also a brief interview segment--meaning this will be the most current sighting of the Beastie Boys on television. The little teaser commercial featured all three of them, with one of the Beasties gripping a basketball. Supposedly they’re performing, “Oh Word.” Hopefully the show isn’t pre-empted by an episode of Viva La Bam or some 50 Cent program that’s already aired a zillion times…

I knew I liked something about this guy.

Thanks for the heads up.

You haven't found any unreleased stuff in a rental car lately by any chance, huh?

[steve-onpoint]

"Oh Word - Live" always wanted to hear this :cool:

It's been too long.

[gaselite]

I don't think it's live, I just think it's a video of their game characters from NBA Street V3 doing it?

[pip07]

Someone record this please!

[Nygel]

I don't think it's live, I just think it's a video of their game characters from NBA Street V3 doing it?
yea, Its the 'oh word?' from the album, but the bboys doing it through through the animation of NBA Street V3. of course Video Mods is supposed to be the newest in music and video games, but ofcourse oh word has been out for over a year and nba street v3 has been out for quite a while too. though its still cool

and pip, you kno someone will record it and slap it on the hub. its like a whole nother bboy community in there.

[Laver1969]

This is coming on soon!

[Chicka B]

10 minutes I'm excited. But my parents are watching a movie so I have to go in the basement. :mad:

[Laver1969]

Good stuff.

The Beasties answered some questions about their favorite video games and stuff.

The video was them on the bball court, computer animated, Yauch did a little breakdancing. A little rappin, bballing, a little kickboxing type shit, and general silliness.

Nicely done.

[Nygel]

yea, i came in right after the break, cuz im not good with timezones and to me, its not 11, and it was on accident i skimmed over the channel and though 'fuck... i forgot' but yea, i caught the second part, the breakdancin and mike d kickin adrock. pretty good, although at some points it looked like MCA had a mustache. it was odd. good stuff, im sure ill catch the rerun later tonight or tomorrow though

[Laver1969]

Here are the questions they were asked:

Q. What do you think about the newest video game graphics?
A. Mike said he prefered the old Coleco games where there were blips.

Q. Which video games do you play?
A. Yauch says Frogger, Gorf, Tron...and I'm pretty sure Mike says ManThong8 just came out.

Q. Which gaming consoles do you prefer?
A. Horovitz says he has Electronic Boggle

Q. What was the first video game that you remember playing?
A. Yauch said Pong at Mike's house

Q. What did you enjoy most about working on NBA Street Jam 3?
A. Mike says we like to strike a pose, and model, and play basketball, Horovitz said he enjoys looking at himself in any capacity

[gaselite]

hahaha, funny stuff, spescially the horovitz checking himself out bit, hahaha

[jennyb]

I recorded it and am sending Pooty a dvd copy to put up on the hub.

Yes, it was the computer animated version of Oh Word. I thought it was pretty good. Although they gave Yauch a goatee.

These pics are not from the Oh Word video. The Beasties had jerseys on that said Beastie Boys and they were wearing the same numbers as they did in concert.

Also...the video was directed by Hornblower. I wonder what he thought of working with computer animation as opposed to real humans.

[dublirie04]

SECTION: PRESS START; Pg. 60

LENGTH: 703 words

HEADLINE: Celebrity Gamers: Beastie Boys;
Gettin' ill with those boys from Brooklyn

BYLINE: Matt Rodbard

BODY:
Nothing can bring down the three man-children that the world has come to adore as the Beastie Boys. Not even some broken equipment, which on a recent afternoon in New York City has caused a two-hour delay for the group. The performers stood on a darkened soundstage hammering away on their Blackberrys while awaiting the taping of their first MTV2 Video Mod, the
network's latest attempt to cross over into the gaming world that remixes today's hottest music videos with videogame animations. So what kept Mike D, MCA, and Adrock occupied when their batteries died and the technical difficulties continued? A spirited conversation about Unreal Tournament dependency and their $10 million dream arcade game.

EGM: What do you guys think about music in videogames? Is it usually well chosen?

MCA: I add my own music. I like to make a playlist or put a bunch of CDs on random, and then turn off the game's sound. I like to put on the sexiest music possible for gaming.

EGM: Who'd win in this basketball matchup: the Beastie Boys from NBA Jam Tournament Edition vs. the Beastie Boys from NBA Street V3?

Adrock: I'm not really a fan of any of those games. I do like the way they have us bulked up in NBA Street, though-we all look pretty jacked! And I think they may have airbrushed in a few tattoos here and there. But what I really wanted was an iced-out medallion for my chest. It would be an eight-legged octopus with diamonds as suction cups. Jacob the Jeweler and I have been talking about this.

EGM: Any of you three ever get into handheld games?

MCA: The problem with playing portable videogames is that you end up sitting on the toilet for like an hour and a half, even if you have "finished" in a couple minutes.

Adrock: I had some problems when the Game Boy came out-I spent too much time playing Tetris. I had two storage lockers and I used to just go and spend time there, staring at my boxes. I'd move them all over the place; a box down in the corner, a box in the center-just like in the game.

EGM: So what's your latest gaming obsession?

MCA: For a while I turned into a little Unreal Tournament [PC] addict. I had just been hooked up with this full-blown computer, with three new video graphic cards and the whole nine. That game was nasty, with the different teams and s***, running through the tunnels with aliens trying to cut you up with razor guns. I would play it till like the sun came up and then I'd be like, "Oh s***, I really gotta stop."

Mike D: I'd like to say that I found myself being very concerned for [MCA] during this period. Seriously, it was like talking to someone going through a drug phase.

Adrock: I'm more into flashlight tag, TV tag, and Tumble Town.

EGM: Aren't we all? Anyway, how did you guys get involved with Video Mods?

MCA: Originally we went to a gaming company and talked about doing a videogame version of our latest album. It seemed like an interesting idea since the gaming company had created these environments and made these characters. The company said it was too busy, but were like, "Yo, MTV makes those joints-hook up with them."

EGM: What's the videogame you've been waiting for someone to make?

MCA: I'm gonna tell people, but consider this patented now. If anyone bites this s***, then I'm gonna come after you. But basically I'm going to take a car chassis and put video screens in for like the windshield, the windows, the rearview mirror-everything. So you're basically surrounded with screens inside this car chassis. Then you can drive around really fast, but you also have a gun, and while you're driving around you can shoot at other cars or people. Michael Jackson might want to order one, maybe [directors Steven] Spielberg and [George] Lucas will want to order two. You know, it's probably going to cost like 10 million dollars.

Didja Know?

In 1992 the Kaneko Company created a Beastie Boys arcade game that had goals such as retrieving the group's microphones, avoiding flying eggs for 30 seconds, and keeping your balance on an enormous turntable while battling a boss named "The Turntable King." The game, however, never made it into arcades, as the Beasties wouldn't approve the project. (Good call, guys.)

[Chicka B]

somebody upload it please!

or at least is there a rerun?!?!?!

There's gonna be a rerun Thursday August 4, 2005 at 10:30/9:30c AM on MTV2. ;) But like Laver1969 said, Pootytang should have it up there before that. :D

[laurie_hammy]

Yeah Mike D is alot skinnier then that. :D I think it just don't look much like him because it's a wierd angle or something. I can tell that's Adrock too because of the tattoo. :cool:

[laurie_hammy]

Video game graphics an shit are sooooo good these days. Like just looking at Adrocks hands ya can tell its him. Seriously imagine what video games are gonna be like in 10 years. It will probably just be like going to the movies like that perfect graphicas and ya just moving the characters like they are in a movie.
