I bought it, but it was deffinetaly a waste of money for me!

considering I bought most of their singles off ebay this summer to complete my collection

what about the new shit on teh dvd, wasnt that worth it?

brooklyndust

11-09-2005, 12:52 AM

the brass monkey video, the lti video 's and tt5b videos on dvd format
were I guess a bit of a bonus, still the deluxe edition was $21 plus tax so it came to like $24

so a few videos were not worth $24

the alternate angles on the tt5b videos are cool though

what about the ill menus? the Triple Trouble Jam Band ft. Sassy! that bonjo jam by Yauch was fuckin top class.

the faces that yauch makes are hillarious

still not worth the $24 (i am sticking by that)

but honestly the beastie boys can shit in a box, put there label on it and put it on the shelves and i would probalby buy it

Yo, I'm not trolling you or nothing, but I agree. I hate it, but I love it, and that makes me hate loving it.

If I was a casual fan, I'd definetely buy it. But I don't really feel like paying money for 15 songs I already have. I don't hate it or anything, it's just not really made for me.

11-09-2005, 01:19 AM

I'll pick it up in a week or so when I get paid, not getting it right away. As hardcore of a fan I am, thats a sin, I know, but oh well.

Can't wait to see the new stuff though (y)

I'll be picking up multiple copies as Christmas presents for a lot of my friends that are "casual" fans.

At the FYE i bought mine at i couldnt even find it, the cashier had to go find it for me, awful.

There needed to be more promotions! A casual fan wouldnt even know theres a dvd coming with it, unless he read the real small writing on the front and the dvd is the best part, damn it all!

If your a fan of Beastie Boys you buy it ! It doesnt matter if ya think its shit AFTER ya buy it. But not even trying out something new of THE BEASTIE BOYS ? Thats stupid

Weezman

11-09-2005, 08:20 AM

Im gettin it. If i could get NOW, i would. Im low on the fund$ at this moment. I gettin next week. Best Buy. 4-sure!

CHEERS to all that have it now,....hope your enjoing it.

Justin

11-09-2005, 08:24 AM

Yea its good. I didnt expect to see diffrent angle options for the new videos that rocks!

My only question to the beasties is why dont they use the video audio versions of so whatcha want and shake your rump? The extra chorus of so watcha want is great and the scratch routine during shake your rump is even better!

For the Cd not the dvd as the video audio versions of those songs is on the dvd

anyone? i did, but i wonder if someone wont....if they think its a waste of money.

I only paid 19.99 so it was a great deal for a CD and DVD.
The LTI (2), TT5B (3, there are 4 TT5B vids if you include "That's It That's All" which I do), and MSG (1) videos I did not have at this high resolution quality (they look fantastic on a big screen). Also it is great to have all 15 tracks remastered into 5.1 dolby digital surround sound (the bass is deep, hold onto your hats and warn yer neighbors). Great party album for friends who are just into their most famous tracks. Got to love the packaging as well (LTI Beastie Boys' logo is awesome).

Have not had a chance to check out the angle options yet, but this feature makes the purchase a fantastic deal in my opinion.

i bought it for the dvd........i think the whole 'remastering' old trax is a bunch of shit......not just from the beasties, but from any band......the old trax sound the same to me!

Your subwoofer when set to 5.1 was not vibrating through the floor? It was hilarious at my place. The songs sound much different on the DVD when you click 5.1 instead of stereo. Unfortunately my sub is not very good and has a hard time handling these low frequency sounds.

I did, but I'm super pissed that I can't put the songs on my iPod.

Big (n) from me for that for sure!!!

like wtf dudes???!!

And wasn't "Sounds of Science" a Greatest Hits album too??!?!

OH well at least the DVD is worth it. :)

Hey man, I am sure there is some way to get the stuff on your IPOD. I will look into it as soon as I get a chance.

Im sure if you own LTI, PB, CYH, IC, HN, and TT5B you can get the same songs on your iPOD......hell just cutomize you playlist and call it SGH? :rolleyes:

with the exception of Brass Monkey(remix)?!

yeah I have some ideas too, I'm gonna try them out later.

But seriously what is even the point of doing that?? Every other CD I've bought recently, I have put on my iPod no problem. If it was a decision of the record company, fine, they can be stupid, but if it was a decision of the boys then I am baffled.

I guess next time I'll just download the album for free and not support my favorite artists??? :confused:

Yes of course I thought of that, but this is a matter of principle. Fight for your right, and all that shit.....

ToucanSpam

11-09-2005, 10:27 AM

Not worth the money. It's just all the old songs that everyone already has stuffed into a neat little package, I don't see a point in buying what we all already have.

11-09-2005, 10:29 AM

i got it...kinda a waste of money, in that the CD will never leave the case.

having all those videos on one disk will be cool to throw on at a party or what not, but i would have liked more videos, like the Just Blaze remix of Ch-Check it Out, or maybe the promo stuff for SGH and TT5B.....

iceygirl

11-09-2005, 02:49 PM

i havent been able to get it yet, but will be able to on friday

i cant wait, i dont care if i have it all on other discs, i would get it even if there wasnt a dvd

11-09-2005, 04:03 PM

Just the manta ray made it worth the money!

Bought it (with DVD) today from my favourite record shop for 220,- SEK (special plice fo you my fliend!), saw one without the DVD for 219,- at the department store! :eek:

Axl Z

11-09-2005, 05:04 PM

got a £10 HMV voucher years ago - used it today and got the CD/DVD version for £2.99!!

not bad if i do say so myself! ;)

jennyb

11-09-2005, 09:35 PM

I'm sorry but it was worth it in my opinion... if only for the That's it That's all video. Adrock's smokin dance moves... Yauch's antics... D's expressive hand gestures that correspond with the lyrics. And sea life! We're talkin manta rays, sharks, fishys! It's loopin like crazy on my screen as I type this.

i wouldn't have paid more than £10 - i would have still got it just would'va waited. besides the only videos i don't have on DVD are,

1. Brass Monkey

2. Ch-Check It Out

3. An Open Letter To NYC

4. Triple Trouble

so i'm buying the whole package just for the 'TTFB' videos!!

beernshag

11-10-2005, 05:16 AM

sorry bboys, but im thinkin the 18 quid price tag for stuff i already got is a bit steep and a bit cheeky, i aint gonna get it, methinks tha record label wants ta make more money.

alexandra

11-10-2005, 07:47 AM

i'm buying it when i get money, because it's the goddamn BEASTIE BOYS.

Zonkie

11-10-2005, 09:55 AM

it'd be nice if EVERY single beastie boys fan bought it. i'm still awaiting mine by delivery.

but if every fan bought sgh and the guys could see that people still REALLY REALLY REALLY love they're music, then they might release a new album before 2009. but, you know, i wouldn't give my hopes up. but if they do release one in 2009, it could be my graduation present.

bottom line, buy it whether you have the songs or not. support them.

bigblu89

My Bro in law's a "fringe" fan of the boys, so he bought it, I gave him $10 and I took the DVD.

I'm curious if you have the DVD anthology, man. I got it in 2002, and I've watched the fuck out of it. Just saying cause I don't feel so enthusiastic for that reason. Don't get me wrong, I'm enjoying the SGH DVD. (y)

I guess I fall into the "disposable income sucker" category. Because I even paid $19.99 when if I would have bargain-hunted I probably could have saved a couple of bucks on the cd/dvd edition.
