I'd just like to let everyone know that after a couple of hiatus years I have returned to the message board. I saw the Beastie Boys at Good Vibrations in Sydney and it just woke me back up from my hibernation. I tried to re-start my account but still waiting for the email to confirm my password so I opened a whole new account. And here I am...
I had an awesome time at Good Vibes - the event itself wasn't organised too well (anyone else almost die watching J5 in that tiny tent??) but the Beastie's were their awesome selves. I know some people have posted that it's not the best they could do and blah blah blah. But I thought to myself 'Did I have a good time?'...answer..."Yes I did!'. That's all that matters to me.
One thing that irked me was that Justin Hemmes guy (who bankrolled the event) gyrating with his "ladies" at the side of the stage in a little white singlet. They made me feel a little queezy - flaunting their VIP status. It felt like - "Hey I got heaps of cash...so I'll stand up here with some chicks in bikinis (cause they're the people that flock to me) and dance badly while my shitty fake tan runs down my singlet"
Anyway - enough said.
So now I'm back...I've brought all my albums back out and now, thanks to a new job, have time to get back into it and start posting on these boards again. I'd been saying "Oh I saw the Beastie Boys a couple of years ago"...but then when I thought about it I'd seen them in 1997 (Hello Nasty tour) - a fucking DECADE ago!! Shit time gets away from us.
I'm also very excited at the prospect of a new album...or new something...as I heard through these boards that they were filming in Syd.

Hello Nasty was released in 1998. Consider yourself Nick-Picked!

They toured before the album dropped, genius. And the phrase is "nit-picked".

Yea they toured before the album in 97, but that wasn't the hello nasty tour. The Hello Nasty tour started in the summer of 98.

touche on the "nit picked" part...but they definitely were not playing HN joints in '97...and if you make another sarcastic remark like "genius" we may have a problem.

Haha - calm down guys. Me wrong! I meant '99...so it hasn't been a decade. It's been almost a decade though. Sorry...the late '90s are a little hazy for me so I mixed up my odd numbers there. In fact, I am now starting to remember it quite clearly. They were coming to Aus in Feb that year but had to postpone and so came later in '99.

Oh and PS - just some background useless info. My 'lil avatar is Hamish the Hairy Coo. Hairy Coos are these crazy, funky cows they have in Scotland and Hamish is the King! I took this photo of him after we feed him some carrots and other grains. I met a fellow Beastie's fan on that little tour 'round Scotland so I think Hamish is a fitting image to use.
