I just bought Solid Gold hits

[Taco Zip]

That's right, my favorite store always has the newest shit first :d
I am actually putting the disk in my dvd player while typing this message :D (y)

[camo]

Whats it like? anything new?

[Taco Zip]

Wow, there is even a video for That's it, that's all on it!! :D

[Taco Zip]

Ok I'll describe the dvd.
If you don't want to know what it's like yet then don't read this post.

When you put the disk in, in the main menu there is a movie with the beasties racing in go-carts. The movie is looped seemless. Awesome shit.
The menu options are: play all, chapters and audio setup.

In the background of the chapter menu is a video for That's it, that's all. It's shot in an aquarium or something. It's shot with one camera on the floor and the beasties wear dope ass suits, glasses and Kangol hats.

In the background of the audio menu is footage from the making of Triple Trouble video.
The audio options are stereo and five-one.

[Shazam_21]

Awesome!

[midzi]

Wow, there is even a video for That's it, that's all on it!! :D

:D :D :D

That's great that there is something we didn't know about.

I wish I had such music store.

[timmie]

Wow! so excited!!! :D ..........i wonder if it will be the same for Uk as in USA! cause some are different?

[Pootytang]

Yo Taco Zip, is it a dvd and a cd, or is it a 2 sided disk?

[Taco Zip]

Yo Taco Zip, is it a dvd and a cd, or is it a 2 sided disk?

And im pretty sure "Thats It Thats All" wasnt even one of them ? Im lovin Beastie News at the moment, I say keep this shit comin ;)

[gaselite]

[M.C. Guevera]

Okay. I'm getting this CD now!

[DapperDiverge]

I can't wait!! Hey what store sells stuff before it's dated to go out?? I'm askin' what store did you get it?

I'd love to work at a music store...get first dibs on anything I want!!

[brooklyndust]

my girlfriend works at a cd store and they already have the c.d. behind the counter, they are not allowed to sell or put it on the floor untill the release date

i know of a cd store that used to sell things before the release date or when they arrived at the store, they don't do this anymore cause they got in trouble

most cd stores have the cd in stock allready, just not on the floor

so taco zip has just found a store that is bending the rules a bit

[Chicka B]

Thanks for sharing Taco Zip, now I know for sure I'm getting it. :p

[cj hood]

good work!

[adrock14]

I cant wait!!! I actually had a dream of going to the store and buying it!!! the worst part is i woke screaming because i was too overwelmed. I just found out that i dont have school on the 8th!!! man, i just might get a ride to meijers at midnight!!! (!) (y) :) :D

[laurie_hammy]

I have no idea, my dad was flippin passed the channels and he flipped passed it (it was the video Check it Out and it had the old school beastie boys logo thing on there you know, and playing Check it Out) and I go "Dad, stop that's the commercial for the new Beastie Boys thing comin out!" and he goes "No" cuz he's an asshole like that, and I go "Com'on!" so he did and it was over. What a weenie baboon head. (n) :mad: Maybe it'll come on again, it was on comedy central though I know that.

Just to clear that up - it's meant to be a 6th November release in Australia.

[Taco Zip]

By the way, too bad the DVD can't be played on my PC due to the copy control :(

[midzi]

[laurie_hammy]

So its available on Sunday ??????? If it is I better go to bed now so I can wake up an go get it.

Nope.
With a copy controlled CD some kind of player is installed, but for the dvd it ain't working.

You're right, the illegal peeps take advantage.

[Taco Zip]

Oh BTW I noticed that the video for That's it doesn't have the 'Fresh for you' sample in it.

[dave790]

I guess it weren't cleared then

[ScarySquirrel]

I could be wrong, but if it wasn't cleared then it couldn't be in the song... so there must be alternate reasons as to why it wasn't in the video.

I thought it was odd too. But it's definitely November 6.

[Kid Presentable]

The Amsterdam pre TT5B plays a version of 'That's It That's all' without that sample in it.

[laurie_hammy]

I thought it was odd too. But it's definitely November 6.

I just rang Sanity music. And asked them if its in Today (November 6) and she said "yep it sure is" then I asked "what about the dvd ?" and she goes not for a couple more weeks but she doesnt know shit haha. But yeah the music cd is definately out today in Australia.

Yeah, I went past a JB Hi-Fi store today and they're selling it like they should be. I didn't actually look inside...but I assume they're selling the DVD too. They should be anyway. It seems odd that it'd be delayed that long...

[laurie_hammy]

Ok iv rang EVERYWHERE. Target, K-Mart, JB Hi-Fi, CC Music, Sanity and Myer. Myer gave me the best result he said all the differant cd's there are like "Limited Edition" "CD AND DVD". All of the shops said they have the CD but no DVD. I asked the guy at Myer when will the DVD be released and he said. Should have been today but it will most likely be in Monday or Tuesday afternoon Nov 7-8. Ill just try everywhere again tomorrow I think. (y)

[Funkyfreshgrape]

Today my bother saw the beastie boys commerical! It was on Mtv, It show all the songs and stuff. Thats all he told me! :D

[Kid Presentable]

I went e'rywhere. No DVD. (n)

[midzi]

Ha ha, now I know what you mean. I found a SGH cd today(though it is released tomorrow here) but without a dvd. I asked one guy when will they have it, and he said they didn't even order it.
But I felt better when in other store they told me that the fact they didn't order it means only that they will have it later, if not they will order it for me, either way I have to wait few more days.


ps. the guy asked me how to spell 'beastie'

[Weezman]

i saw the commercial last night during SNL...it plays all the songs like 4 secs each imediatley after one another...shows pictures and video clips just as quickly....its almost like an old school commercial....the songs being played are highlighted yellow as they roll the list up. very quick commercial :rolleyes:

[Mantle]

What is Going on? You Would think they were releasing a new studio album!!!!! All the songs are on albums im sure most of you have and most of the videos are on the anthology Dvd or website! They might have added some unreleased songs or some live songs. (n)

wow a lot of people have no idea what theyre talking about today. actually read the message board before you post, might help.

just to catch you up, along with the regular songs and their videos, on the dvd there is footage from the making of the triple trouble video, a video for thats it thats all, and the video for Brass Monkey is live from MSG and is taken directly from the concert movie thats coming up.

Do You really think 2 videos and a "making of" is enough to justify buying a new album? It should come with sucker slapped on the side of the box.

[brooklyndust]

Do You really think 2 videos and a "making of" is enough to justify buying a new album? It should come with sucker slapped on the side of the box.

I would have to agree with mantle here, everyone has to calm down a bit, its not a new album, its a greatest hits package the beasties released the equivalent to this in 1999 it was called the sounds of science (except it offered more than hits, i.e., b-sides, unreleased tracks, a full booklet with photos)

I will be getting the album because I collect everything the beasties put out, I already have all the individual singles for these songs and all the albums that these songs are on, I am getting the cd to complete the collection, I am not excited about it, its nothing really new

even on the dvd, the brass monkey video you can view on the net for free, and the "that's it, that's all" video sounds like its just in the back ground of the dvd menu, and is probably the same quality of the "rhyme the rhyme well" video

the way some of you people are reacting to this greatest hits package (that capitol is putting out to make money for Christmas) I would almost think some of you are "plants" put her from capitol records to promote the album

just my thoughts

[dave790]

people can react to a beasties release however they want. if you're excited over it then fair enough, let them be excited. for some fans this is the first beasties release to come out in their time as a fan. there's no correct way to react to the solid gold hits release, people are going to have their own reasons as to why it excites them or doesn't. but at the end of the day i'm never going to complain over a fans enthusiasm to a beasties release.

i'm kinda in the middle, but i'll be buying it...why? cos i'm a fucking fan of the beastie boys, easy.

dave

p.s. by the way, this is by no means a 'looking for an argument with some of you i.e. brookln dust' response, i actually think that was really well reasoned argument. but hey, we can all leave our thoughts here :)

[brooklyndust]

i guess you have a point, i was just pointing out that some of the excitement almost seems fake, like someone from capitol records marketing was on here to hype it up

other record labels have done this before and we just found out a year ago that sony was still doing payola

[dave790]

fiar enough, i can see what you mean and looking at some of the posts they're fair suspicions to have.

[PaddyBoy]

I got the CD/DVD today. I wasn't going to, actually went out to buy Stevie's new CD, but then I asked just in case cos the release date (I thought) was the 7th. But no, it was available behind the counter.

It's worth getting IMO, there are extra camera angles availabe on the TT5B vids on the DVD. They're pretty good, and I wasn't expecting them.

BTW, has anyone else noticed that the No Sleep vid seems slightly different in places? Is it just me? There's one part where the microphone wire rides up Adrocks boxers?! I have def not seen that before, is there two versions of that vid? Also, the instrumental break 2/3rd's of the way through Hay Ladies vid sounds different too, like there was a sample missing or chopped up diff. I've only listened once, so haven't really examined it, but somethings amiss....

[peterclamp]

I have had the dvd playing in my shop for a couple of days now on a big ass lcd to generate some pre release interest...couldn't sell it till Monday tho!

The 'Hey Ladies' break was always different I think. Where it usually goes "HEY! HEY! HEY! HEY LADIES! one more time" is just a rolling bass-line, right?
I most definitely could be wrong. BUt it's usually different to the album version.

Actually, is Pass The Mic the version with the remix playing under "M-I-K-E to the D"?

And no disrespect to Brooklyndust because he's sound as, but I'm jonesing for those LTI and 5B videos.

I guess that's why I didn't by the CD only edition. Mantle ought to slap a 'Dipshit' sticker on the side of his head.

adrock gettin caught w/the mic wire was always in the NSTB video...

Any chance there are hidden videos for "Right Right Now Now" or "Rhyme The Rhyme Well" on the DVD?

[Chicka B]

It has camera angles?

[tjpop]

Yo Taco:

Thanks for the info so far...can you describe the inside packaging, too?

Any booklet, photos, funny info, etc? Basically I want to know what's inside to help with my decision on whether to get this thing or not. What it comes down to is 5 videos that I don't have, and little else. But if there are photos and shit, then maybe...

hate to break it to everyone

but the "that's it, that's all video" was probably done in one take, its right up there with "rhyme the rhyme well" (but i like that one better)

it's better than nothing, they didnt have to do anything for the dvd menu

I wouldnt count it as an official video

[CZSK]

How does 5.1 surround mix sounds? Is it again pathetic as on Anthology DVD?

[Laver1969]

[FunkyHiFi]

How does 5.1 surround mix sounds? Is it again pathetic as on Anthology DVD?
I haven't heard this dvd (yet!) but unless they went back to the original multitrack master tapes to make true surround mixes for all those tracks-a HUGE, expensive & time consuming thing to do-then I'm 99.9% sure these will sound just like the Anthology's 5.1 tracks (which I DO own). The Anthology used only fakey reverb sounds coming from the rear speakers-pretty boring stuff. But if they used more modern stereo-to-artificial surround conversion software, there might be a few random sounds popping up in back every once in a while (this is what "Dolby Pro-Logic II"*, "DTS:Neo" and other similar buttons can do on most 5.1 home systems), but to me this still sounds rather lame compared to a true surround mix. :(

here comes the corporate tool section :)......if someone wants to hear what true 5.1 surround music sounds like, buy one of these albums on the dvd-audio format which also play on regular dvd players: Beck's Sea Change or deluxe edition Guero, R.E.M.s Automatic For The People, Linkin Park's Reanimation (yea I know but it SOUNDS awesome!); Flaming Lips' Yoshimi Battles....; or for you old people ;) Steely Dan's Gaucho, Grateful Dead's Workingman's Dead or Fleetwood Mac's Rumours. And Peter Gabriel's Play video anthology also has excellent true 5.1 mixes.

* on my system at least, Hello Nasty actually sounds pretty cool when played back with Dolby Pro-Logic turned on-it's almost like they recorded the album this way on purpose (just like with movie soundtracks, you can record music albums using a Dolby ENcoder so sounds appear in the back when played at home with a Dolby DEcoder).

The Anthology is not a greatest hits compilation.

[laurie_hammy]

Yeah its more just there video's an shit.

[FunkyHiFi]

Just an FYI: the Video Anthology also includes (I think this is the exact number) forty four remixes. Very cool.

If you want to make a CD-R of them for personal use, you'll need to hook up the dvd player's left & right analog outputs to your soundcard's analog left/right input (>>> you might have to adjust recording levels manually-check the soundcard's manual). Or use a component CD burner, like this Sony (http://www.bestbuy.com/site/olspage.jsp?skuId=5725771&type=product&productCategoryId=cat03034&id=1057490438375) sold at Best Buy-these types are especially good for recording vinyl & practically never make "coasters". You'll have to insert your own track markers, but quality never comes easy. :cool: And component burners are usually much easier to use too.

Yeah, the video has the baseline and the album version is different. (The "HEY" Part.)
In the video "Pass The Mic" the "M-I-K-E to the D" part is different than the album version, 'cause on the album the same tune continues and the video is a remix.

Was the video version/remix of the song ever officially released on cd? I've always liked that section of the video during "M-I-K-E...". I'll pay for it if it's available, otherwise if anyone took the time to record it from the dvd as an mp3, care to share? Hmm or maybe it's on the HUB...?

[Kid Presentable]

Yeah its more just there video's an shit.

Yeah, I think they mean Sounds of Science.

I can't believe I just bought that Hits thing. :o

[midzi]

Midzi ! Isnt it out there yet ?

It's out since Sunday, but I can't find the dvd edition anywhere.

[brooklyndust]

does anybody else wonder why they would release another greatest hits cd - the anthology did'nt come out that long ago

to make money for christmas!

and despite what people say the anthology is like a greatest hits package

[Kid Presentable]

Yeah that was like me. I rang the shops in the morning. They didnt have it. rang everywhere in the afternoon and they go "we just got it in about 10 minutes ago" and when I got served they go "we dont have the dvd". And luckily the chick I talked to on the phone goes "Ill just get it for you" and went out the back an got it.

[midzi]

I will probably get my dvd when you all forget that you even bought it. ;)

[CZSK]

I haven't heard this dvd (yet!) but unless they went back to the original multitrack master tapes to make true surround mixes for all those tracks-a HUGE, expensive & time consuming thing to do-then I'm 99.9% sure these will sound just like the Anthology's 5.1 tracks (which I DO own). The Anthology used only fakey reverb sounds coming from the rear speakers-pretty boring stuff. But if they used more modern stereo-to-artificial surround conversion software, there might be a few random sounds popping up in back every once in a while (this is what "Dolby Pro-Logic II"*, "DTS:Neo" and other similar buttons can do on most 5.1 home systems), but to me this still sounds rather lame compared to a true surround mix. :(

here comes the corporate tool section :)......if someone wants to hear what true 5.1 surround music sounds like, buy one of these albums on the dvd-audio format which also play on regular dvd players: Beck's Sea Change or deluxe edition Guero, R.E.M.s Automatic For The People, Linkin Park's Reanimation (yea I know but it SOUNDS awesome!); Flaming Lips' Yoshimi Battles....; or for you old people ;) Steely Dan's Gaucho, Grateful Dead's Workingman's Dead or Fleetwood Mac's Rumours. And Peter Gabriel's Play video anthology also has excellent true 5.1 mixes.

* on my system at least, Hello Nasty actually sounds pretty cool when played back with Dolby Pro-Logic turned on-it's almost like they recorded the album this way on purpose (just like with movie soundtracks, you can record music albums using a Dolby ENcoder so sounds appear in the back when played at home with a Dolby DEcoder).

Like always, your posts are great :-)

Haved you checked Hotel California from the Eagles as a DVD-A? It sounds amazing. Review:

This is also great as multichannel SACD:

Pink Floyd - ‘Dark Side of the Moon’

[Taco Zip]

Here's hoping for that one and "Rhyme the Rhyme Well" to be bonus features on the MSG DVD.

[paulb]

Yeah, that video is awesome.

damn right! Jimmy James is one of bboys best tunes id say. they shoulda thrown that on greatest hits, with paul revere, or somethin.. or at least the vid on the dvd.

[jennyb]

Holy Crap... Last night I'm like scrolling through thee chapters section of the dvd searching for that's it that's all.... then eventually it's ON! Thanks for hookin it up guys! The aquarium! The goggles! Damn the gigantic rays! So fresh! Nice surprise. :D (y)

Oh and the TripTroub footage! :eek:

Hope I'm not giving too much away here... but I am so stoked!

Yeah and about the cd... the amped up bass is fun! So What'cha Want almost busted my car windows!

[FrozenMetalHead]

I'm really hoping that since the Boys in their email letter seemed to enjoy the fact that they got to remaster the tracks (or amp the bass), that we'll start to see some remasters of the older albums.

[midzi]

Finally, finally I got it. :)

[BGirl]

I wasn't sure about getting SGH until I read about the video for That's It That's All and the alternate angles for the new videos... sure enough we were quite entertained by the Ch Check it Out footage (which Documad just mentioned in another thread)... Mike D at the water cooler, Yauch with the basketball, the little satisfied look of Adrock's German tourist after he gets his photo :p We were crackin up over here.

For fun we gave the CD a spin over the weekend and it does sound nice. I noticed it especially on Brass Monkey, but it all sounded good.

For something they didn't want to do, quality release (y)

(Not that I ever expected anything less.)

[TurdBerglar]

i haven't read the whole thread but another way to get past the copy protection for the dvd is to maybe rip it to the hard drive with dvd-shrink then watch it from the hard drive.

i had similar problems with the new nin dual cd/dvd. i could play the dvd part just fine on my pc but the cd part gave me trouble. all i did was try a few different audio players and rippers and eventually i found one that work.

[titou lapraline]

MY GOD!
THE CD SMELLS BAD!!! :eek: (n) :D

[sXe Boogaloo]
