Celebrity Beastie Boys Fans?

[M.C. Guevera]

I know they exist, especially in the music world. But exactly which celebs are Beastie Boys fans?

So far, the celebrity Beastie Boys fan that I know of are:
Beck
Chuck D
Tom Morello
Zach De La Rocha
Fatboy Slim
Moby
Sean Lennon
Q-Tip
Biz Markie
MC Serch from 3rd Bass
Kid Rock
Tommy Lee? (He did have Mix Master Mike appear in his "Get Naked" music video.)

Anyone else?

[Rodie]

Tommy Lee is he covered Fight For Your Right

Ben Stiller
Fred Durst
Liam Howlett from Prodigy (on and off)

That's all I can think of off hand

[M.C. Guevera]

I just remembered that Miles Davis praised Paul's Boutique before he died, so I guess it's okay for me to say he was a fan.

And Eminem has said more than once that the Beastie Boys were a huge influence on him.

[liberty_a320]

- Kanye West
- Pat Wilson (drummer, Weezer): I remember seeing a picture with him wearing a Beastie Boys shirt. I verified this on Google an got this interview (http://wma.weezernation.com/19950302disc.htm), in which he says he "enjoys" the BBoys.

I'll post later if I think of any more... must commute back home...

[Pootytang]

I think Sasquatch is their biggest celebrity fan in more ways than one. He did abduct them for like 6 years.

[M.C. Guevera]

I think Jimmy Fallon is a fan.

[liberty_a320]

A couple more:

- Supposedly Adam Levine of Maroon 5, who wore a Beastie Boys shirt at the Live 8 show in Philly (http://www.beastieboys.com/bbs/showthread.php?t=53006).

- Some band called Steriogram, according to this interview (http://www.vh1.com/artists/interview/1487179/05212004/blink_182.jhtml).

[zorra_chiflada]

michael klim (the australian swimmer, i saw him at a show in melbourne)
and that fuckhead from australian idol, the blonde one. he was at the last sydney show. he was in a bunny suit.

ooh, yeah and matt groening

[Rancid_Beasties]

- Some band called Steriogram, according to this interview (http://www.vh1.com/artists/interview/1487179/05212004/blink_182.jhtml).
Steriogram have that song walkie talkie man...great video clip.

[zorra_chiflada]

M.I.A. she mentions them in one of her songs

[Justin]

anthony mason

[dirtydan11]

Dan Hogan

[Top 10]

I saw Blur live, and the guitar player was wearing a Grand Royal T-shirt.
Otherwise, Chris Rock!

[camo]

oasis once said that they have 'check your head' on all the time in the tour bus.

I've also heard that the Queen of England cites 'Ill Communcation' as one of the ropest cuts ever commited to wax.

[enree erzweglle]

A couple more:

- Supposedly Adam Levine of Maroon 5, who wore a Beastie Boys shirt at the Live 8 show in Philly (http://www.beastieboys.com/bbs/showthread.php?t=53006).Wearing a band's shirt constitutes a fan. A lot of Hot Topic kids apparently really are fans of Led Zeppelin, The Doors, Jimi Hendrix.

:)

[Rockable]

Beatsteaks

DJ Tomcraft

My Chemical Romance

The Bravery

At least I heard them all say how great the Beastie Boys are, especially their live shows.

[M.C. Guevera]

Oh, I just thought of a few more:

The members of The Bloodhound Gang, who have said that their group is basically a rip-off of the early Beastie Boys.

P-Nut from 311.

House Of Pain.

MC Chris.

Quarashi.

DJ Shadow.

[Lihi]

The singer from Misfits, the post-Danzig one.

[Rockable]

Blink 182

[steve-onpoint]

I believe Anthony Kiedis from Red Hot Chili Peppers is "on the record" somewhere saying his favorite shit is Beastie Boys. (y)





I know they exist, especially in the music world. But exactly which celebs are Beastie Boys fans?

So far, the celebrity Beastie Boys fan that I know of are:

MC Serch from 3rd Bass


Really? :confused:

[camo]

Really? :confused:

according to the end of the 'skills to pay the bills' book he is. Well kinda

[steve-onpoint]

Cool. (shrug)

Beastie Boys killed that noise with Professor Booty anyhow. That song's so right. :cool:

[alexandra]

Supposedly Adam Levine of Maroon 5, who wore a Beastie Boys shirt at the Live 8 show in Philly (http://www.beastieboys.com/bbs/showthread.php?t=53006).
lol, i remember applauding when i saw that, and then thinking "shit, will i start liking M5 now?"

[Justin]

George W. Bush:p

[b-grrrlie]

I believe Anthony Kiedis from Red Hot Chili Peppers is "on the record" somewhere saying his favorite shit is Beastie Boys. (y)


I thought he was a bit bummed out cause Ad Rock stole his girlfriend?
Anywhoo, when they were making Blood Sugar Sex Magic (on the documentary) the Beasties (at least Ad) arrived to their party. I don't know if it was before or after...

[canucklehead200]

Tommy Lee is he covered Fight For Your Right

Ben Stiller
Fred Durst
Liam Howlett from Prodigy (on and off)

That's all I can think of off hand

this makes sense, but where did you hear it from?

in Kiedis's unbelievably excellent autobiography he mentions the beastie boys at least 5 separate times, due to his relations with adrock's girl, and another time when get this THE DALI LAHMA (sp?) TOLD KIEDIS IN PERSON THAT IF YAUCH EVER CALLED HIM UP (KIEDIS) TO PERFORM AT ONE OF YAUCH'S TIBETAN FREEDOM CONCERTS, TO PERFORM AT IT WITH HIS BAND (the chilis)...funny enough, the chilis almost weren't allowed to play at one of them in new york, but pearl jam complained on their behalf and the chillis ended up being allowed to perform...now i heard that kiedis and adrock aren't best buddies since kiedis got the girlfriend "addicted" to cocaine, heroin etc. or something along those lines, but kiedis speaks rather positively of them in the book...hope that helped :D

Did anyone say John Cena...

[beastiedan]

the members of good charlotte decided to start a band after a beasties concert..:rolleyes:

[M.C. Guevera]

I believe Anthony Kiedis from Red Hot Chili Peppers is "on the record" somewhere saying his favorite shit is Beastie Boys. (y)

Now I wish the Red Hot Chili Peppers dressed up like the Beastie Boys in their new video.

And which Adrock girl are we talking about?

the members of good charlotte decided to start a band after a beasties concert..:rolleyes:

Some of the members of Simple Plan are fans too.

How could I forget Run-DMC? They're definitley fans.

I think Green Day are fans. I remember them talking about To The Five Boroughs in 2004.

And Juliet Lewis is a fan too. She wrote MCA a love letter when she was 14.

[Pootytang]

I think Green Day are fans.

I don't know if they are fans or not, but I can tell you that they were supposed to close Voodoo Music Fest 04 but decided to let the Beastie Boys close instead. The Boys were scheduled to play second to last. You can say that they most definately respect them.

[Nomen Nescio]

the basketball player?
I got my hair cut correct like Anthony Mason.

[!!!brittany!!!]

jimmy fallon is a huge fan

and in my in-style magazine they did a review for sounds of science
and said these are beastie fans and had pictures:
-jimmy fallon
-jennifer aniston
-brad pitt
-russell simmons

[Rodie]

this makes sense, but where did you hear it from?

I remember when TT5B came out he put a thing on his blog on his site or whatever saying he picked it up and that it was great as always and that they never disappoint.

Also I just remembered the Chemical Brothers, who some of you might know, originally named themselves after the Dust Brothers after the original Dust Brothers because they produced their favorite album, Paul's Boutique.

Kevin Smith is another one (I know he's a fan of Paul's Boutique anyways) and he was originally gonna use Shake Your Rump in Dogma but they didn't give permission in time or something. Also in one of his MTV promos Jay (from Jay & Silent Bob) mentions the Beastie Boys rewriting High Plains Drifter to include him and Silent Bob.

[jackrock]

If you have Itunes, you can go to the music store, bottom of the page, celebrity playlists...

here's what Reverend Run said about Paul Revere: "They came out right after we did and this song just takes me back to a certain place in time."

here's what Tommy Lee said about So What'cha Want:"Can we get any more distortion on?"

Here's what The Bareneked Ladies said about Shadrach: "Intense, hilarious, and groovy as hell. This whole album rules."

[liberty_a320]

-jennifer aniston
-brad pitt


hmm... interesting...

Did you scroll through all the playlists to find mentions of the Beastie Boys? As far as I know, the search tool doesn't bring up results for celebrity playlists (but I could be wrong)...

[jackrock]

i tried searching it in the search bar, nothing for me too.

i simply went throught the 4 pages of celebritly playlists, and i clicked on those who i though might have an interest in them, so i didn't go through all the artists (the loading time would kill me).

I don't know if they are fans or not, but I can tell you that they were supposed to close Voodoo Music Fest 04 but decided to let the Beastie Boys close instead. The Boys were scheduled to play second to last. You can say that they most definately respect them.

They knew that there was no way they could top the beasties live performance

[Justin]

I got my hair cut correct like Anthony Mason.

Yea remember he played basketball with the beasties (shown in the sure shot video)

I think sasquatch could take mason though

[b i o n i c]

hey peoples.... i was skating around the village and i skated upon 'the black russel simmons'. he was talking to someone about buying their furniture business. pic to some soon

[jennyb]

The "Black" Russell Simmons?! ...as opposed to...? I am ever so confused bionic! haha, that's crazy yo.

[3MTA3]

I posted this a while back but anyway...

Dane Cook likes them. He commented on the Check Your Head shirt I wore to his cd signing last year. He said "Hey man, great shirt! I caught them on their tour last year and it was awesome." I have a pic of he and I from that day on myspace page if anyone cares. He's my favorite comedian and it was just really cool to know that my he likes my favorite musicians.

[liberty_a320]

i'm doing a research paper on vanilla ice :)

i would've chosen the beasties, but it was supposed to be an individual i'm
pretty sure, so he was another choice.

[ggirlballa]

^why? wuts the paper about?

(ps me likey your avatary)did that make sense?

[kleptomaniac]

^why? wuts the paper about?

(ps me likey your avatary)did that make sense?

it's like how the media portrays him and about his image and stuff. things like that. (lb)

ps, made sense to me, denise :D

[ggirlballa]

:D i could have said it like mushmouth "bme blike byour bavatar" try sayin that :confused:

i would have choosen b-boys but since it had to be individual i'd choose 2pac:cool:

[kleptomaniac]

..are the guys from coldplay fans? since they copied the "fans shooting the concert" idea from the beasties n' all...or probably they did it because it's just a reeally good idea, who knows? :cool:

sorry, the random thought popped into my head.

i think the saying goes..."imitation is the sincerest form of flattery" something like that.

[Junker]

Ben Stiller

[DandyFop]

On Jackrock's tip, I went through all the celebrity playlits on Itunes, and this is what I found:

Jason McGerr (of Death Cab for Cutie) - Rhyme the Rhyme Well - "This joint is crackin'. A dope beat with some old-school-flavored flow".

B.J. Novak (Ryan the Temp on "The Office" NBC) - Funky Boss - "I used to love this song. Now I just like this song" (his playlist is chosen in lines with the character he plays in the show, hence the comment. Funny though, I'm totally in love with this guy, he's great on the show)

Fab 5 Freddy - Hold It Now, Hit It - "Unfortunately, Cookie Puss, the first Beastie Boys song I remember and loved, is not yet on Itunes. But this song I remember well. They expanded what rap music could be back then with their punk, rap, frat boy sensibility. The Beasties and I hung in the same East Village circles back then and I watched Russell Simmons and Rick Rubin groom them for the big time. I remember seeing them hit the stage opening for Run-DMC and PE back then to all those black crowds getting nothing but love for this song."

Luciano Supervielle (I have no idea who this is) - We Got The - "If it wasn't for the Beastie Boys I would be making much different music now. To The 5 Boroughs is excellent"

X-Ecutioners - Slow and Low - "A lot of funk and soul in their delivery to the music, one of the best rap groups of all time...."

Barb

P.S. - MMM has a playlist on there but I don't have the energy to transcribe that

P.P.S. - Many of the celebrities mentioned in this thread have playlists on there with no mention of the Bboys

P.P.P.S. This took me for-fucking-ever. No cutting a pasting, I had to retpye everything cause it wouldn't let me cut and paste.

[Medellia]

Alright, I never post in this section, but I know a couple that weren't mentioned, so here goes:

Incubus-I read an article on them back in 1998 were they mentioned that the Beasties were a huge influence on them in the early days. In an interview Brandon and Mike both said they want to open for the Beasties and Mike said later in the same interview that the would be in the lineup of his ideal festival.

Crappy boy bands- I remember seeing pics of both Backstreet Boys and Nsync were one of the dudes was wearing a Beasties shirt. I know that might not mean much though. And it was in Rolling Stone, not some teen mag, so no jokes people!

[Weezman]

DR. DRE....all day!!

:p

[alleyezonme6198]

didnt some one put up a post that said something like three 3 mafia used to pretend to be the beastie boys when they were young untill they found out they were white? i know i saw something about them so if so they would probally be fans

[Chicka B]

i think jay-z is a b-boy fan cuz i saw a video with Mike D and Rick Rubin in the studio with Jay-z recording "99 Problems" and then Jay goes up to Mike and Rick and starts talking to them and puts his hands on their shoulders and says to them "you guys are the ones who made the great hip hop i listened to when i was younger" (or something like that):confused: :cool:

No offense Chicka, you know U one of my fav B-Girls!!

What i got out of her statement was:
3 mafia are black, ....they werent pretending to be white people,
they were pretending to be the BEASTIE BOYS, UNITL they found out that the BB were WHITE, then they ceased to pretend.
She claimed that to be racist behavior, I CLAIM it to BE just WACK! :p

[M.C. Guevera]

Is Sir Mix-A-Lot a fan? He liked "Paul Revere", and when he found out the Beastie Boys were white, he was shocked. "Those motherfuckers messed with my mind! My mind got screwed up, man!"

[sp12]

I just read "skills to pay the bills" and Bono(U2) said,"the Beastie Boys are on of my favorite bands". Thats right, fuckin Bono!!!!!! You can't front on that...

[Shazam_21]

A really shit one but there used to be a boyband called 5ive in the UK, i remember their lead singer claimed to be a fan, and a clip of sabotage was played on a kids saturday morning tv show, which i found quite amuzing

[aboislove]

maaaannn!!! i don't get FUSE:( but they i hear they air that influenced beastie boys show a lot
ya they do. if you have comcast they have it on on demand too.

[DeeJayZap]

DJ Cheapshot of Styles Of Beyond

maybe Mike Shinoda

[MagicCowboy]

Damon Albarn, perhaps. I'm basing this on the video for On Your Own.

[M.C. Guevera]

What happened in the video for "On Your Own"?

[jackrock]

What happened in the video for "On Your Own"?
I watched it on youtube and read some comments that were claiming that Albarn was 'mocking' the beastie boys

[M.C. Guevera]

I think Master P is a fan, or he at least liked Licensed To Ill because he did a remix of "Paul Revere".

I think Redman, Keith Murray, and Eric Sermon are fans too. They did that remix of, I believe "Intergalatic" back in 1998. They also did a cover of "Posse In Effect" for DJ Green Lantern's New York State Of Mind mixtape in 2004.

Speaking of which, Busta Rhymes, Onyx, and Pusha from Clispe all appeared on the New York State Of Mind mixtape. Could they all be fans?

[mcncheese]

David Wright (NY Mets 3B) said before the season that he listens to the Beastie Boys to get ready for games.

[MagicCowboy]

What happened in the video for "On Your Own"?

That video just kinda reminds me of the one for So What'cha Want.

[nor is it brian]

thurston moore - from sonic youth

[liberty_a320]

If you have Itunes, you can go to the music store, bottom of the page, celebrity playlists...

iTunes just put up Jack Black's playlist, and lists "We Got The" as the first track. He says, "I love it when a great band tells the government where they can stick it. The Beasties knock this one out of the park."

[M.C. Guevera]

Jack Black was also in one of the pictures from Big Day Out 2005 on the Beastie Boys website.

Method Man was on MTV once saying how much he liked the Beastie Boys. He said they were "fun" and that no-one makes fun hip-hop anymore.

Dave Chappelle also.

oh,DJ Premier wants them on his solo album.

Was Chris Rock mentioned? I read that one of his favorites records is Paul's Boutique.

[MagicCowboy]

Patton Oswalt, apparently: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MihNS1INZak

Maybe he's been mentioned already, but meh.

[canucklehead200]

Add BILLY TALENT to the list (canada's biggest punk/rock band at the moment)--they were being asked who dressed the best at the much music video awards in past years and they chose the beasties, and their lead singer also said that he enjoyed the beastie's ch-check it out/intergalactic performance from a few years ago the best

BIG UP YOSELF!

[P of R]

I'm a fan and I'm tremendously famous.

[chrisd]

busta rhymes is a fan, i read so in the neue zürcher zeitung!

[Adrobin]

tommy lee has so what'cha want on his itunes celebrity playlist.

[fullclouty'all]

Michael Rappaport
Jeffrey Ross
Brian Posehn (from Mr. Show and Comedians of Comedy) says that he has listened to Paul's Boutique at least once a week since it was first released.

[M.C. Guevera]

The band Offspring are fans.

Man, I gotta update the list. There's alot more fans than I anticipated!

[FearandLoathing]

I think Redman, Keith Murray, and Eric Sermon are fans too. They did that remix of, I believe "Intergalatic" back in 1998. They also did a cover of "Posse In Effect" for DJ Green Lantern's New York State Of Mind mixtape in 2004
I'm pretty sure Sermon and Redman remixed Body Movin', and that the cover of the last verse of The New Style on Green Lantern's mixtape was Beet Drop on Redman's own Doc's da Name 2000.

But yeah, with all the references Redman drops I'd definitely say he's a fan. And he thanked them on the liner notes for Malpractice.

[hitmonlee]

and that fuckhead from australian idol, the blonde one. he was at the last sydney show. he was in a bunny suit.


can you be more descriptive?

[liberty_a320]

I was browsing the celebrity playlists on iTunes and remembered this thread. Here are more artists that've added Beastie Boys songs to their playlists:

- Wolfmother ("Something's Got to Give"): "My first taste of a 'modern' band that has a real sense of style." (doesn't say who from Wolfmother said this)

- KT Tunstall ("Root Down"): "I adore this track. The Beastie Boys are like the Flaming Lips for me. They could both save the world from self-destruction."

- Jamie Kennedy ("Get It Together"): "Q-Tip's voice is just plain ridiculous on this. We never get tired of this beat."

[kleptomaniac]

Wolfmother ("Something's Got to Give"): "My first taste of a 'modern' band that has a real sense of style." (doesn't say who from Wolfmother said this)

Reni (ex Stone Roses bassist, now in Primal Scream).

Jamie Kennedy once said that the Beastie Boys, Kid N' Play, and A Tribe Called Quest were his inspirations to do his rap show on MTV and start his rapping "career".

Really? Do you have the material where they trash talked?

Thats too bad. I can't say I ever liked Green Day anyway, but if they did trash talk, that seems like a jealous act.

Just adding more to the list as I've found more fans over the past year or so.

Oh, and I don't know if I would call him a celebrity per se, but Chris Sabin who wrestles in TNA Wrestling which has a show called iMPACT! every Thursday night on Spike is a fan too.

The Game is a fan apparently if the lyrics in his song "911 Is A Joke (Cop Killa)" are any indication.

I'ma nigga with a additude the human grenade

And she's not really a celebrity...yet...but Skye Sweetnam, who I love, and who is my favourite singer on the entire fucking planet, is a Beastie Boys fan too. She just keeps giving me more and more reasons to love her as though I didn't have enough reasons to love her already!

She also has somehow managed to find Beastie Boys stickers to put on her backpack and other stuff.

Actually, they just said they expected more out a new beasties album than TT5B..........after they said they were big fans. I don't know why I remember that SPIN article, but I do.

When BRMC played here in Stockholm back in 2003 I bumped into Nick at the Ride show afterwards.
We started talking at the bar and he asked me which other bands I liked (I had seen BRMC a few times by then,
and even more since then) and he made a sort of "Oh wow!" face when I said Beastie Boys.
He said he was curious what other kind of music their fans were into, and guess my answer was more unusual compared to other fans.

Whoa that's pretty awesome! Yeah I can see why he'd be surprised, BRMC seem to be a pretty serious band with a totally different style you know, and the Beastie Boys are more goofy and just completely opposite so he was probably expecting you to say a band related to their genre or something. It was probably refreshing to hear something different and know they have more open minded fans with diverse musical tastes though. :cool: But there are connections between the two as far as them both being quality bands, seriously. (y)

Yeah I'm sorta late, I heard of them but never really checked them out for some reason. But then my friend talked me into going to their concert and then I turned all hardcore fangirl and bought all their albums and looked up all the youtube videos/interviews, etc. Then she's like "hey they're doin another show wanna come?" and I was all "No way fuck yesss!" and was way more excited since I knew all their music. And both times we were front and center. :cool: So yeah, I'm officially adding them to the list of bands I obsess over. /dork :o

[mistressf]

ben stiller... obviously in aifst

and before aifst was the sweet and cute (ahah) introduction he did for them at the 98 vmas :D

[M.C. Guevera]

Lars Frederiksen (from the band Rancid) asked Adam Yauch if the Beastie Boys could play at his wedding reception in 1998.

[Nicodemus]

Know what's wierd? I met Nick from BRMC a few years ago at a bowling alley where my band had just played in Indianapolis. He must really get around. Nice guy.

[mate_spawn_die]

yauch was on entertainment tonight hanging out with clay aiken. yauch congratulated the soon to be father and the two discussed life as celebrities and how hard it is to get a decent butler. they both sang an a cappella medley of "sabotage" and "what if god was one of us"... it was awesome.

Mike Skinner had a Beastie Boys poster on his wall as a kid
