Remote Control (AC/DC) Live in Vienna
Rock Hard (AC/DC)
Beastie Boys*
"Rock Hard"
The Beastie Boys released this as a single in 1985, and it quickly went out of print. The song was to reappear on their 1999 The Sounds of Science anthology, but they had to cut it after AC/DC refused permission for the use of "Back in Black." Beasties member Mike D reportedly talked to the band personally on the phone: "AC/DC could not get with the sample concept. They were just like, ‘Nothing against you guys, but we just don’t endorse sampling.’"
Hasta Pronto!!!

Am I right in thinking Time For Livin' was taken from all over?! Like the music from some early punk band and the lyrics from some LP they had lying around (Sly Stone?).

The music is from an unreleased NY punk band called Front Line, and the lyrics are from Sly & The Family Stone's "Time for livin'". So yeah.
if I remember correct they did a cover of " Just call to say I love you" when they performed in Sweden ´99

Technically it is not a cover. Run DMC wrote it but never released it until 3 months ago (on the reissue of King of Rock).
