[pm0ney]

Wow...10 years. That was the summer going into 8th grade for me. Crazyness.



The album fucking rules, btw.

[YoungRemy]

i remember the entire summer vividly.

Hello Nasty was the backdrop (y)

[Kid Presentable]

Although it's not my favourite album, it gets props for being big and bold, and not relying on the same old tricks. Definitely loosened up their typical formulas with a few of the joints on here.

I was 17 and sat in Manchester Airport waiting for a flight to Ibiza with my mates when I realised that it was past twelve at night and hmv were treating it as the following day and allowed me to buy a copy. I remember the guy saying that he shouldn't really be selling it until nine.

Good times (y)

[freetibet]

I was 13 and thought some girls/kids sang that robot song galaxy something..

First love lasts forever!:)

Me too...funny you should mention that. I was listening to it the other day in my car thinking back on that summer. For me it was the summer between 11th and 12th grade. Life was great...my buddies and I just partied and had fun all summer. I remember I was the first one to buy it, I was at Best Buy when they opened I put it in my CD player in the car and it rarely left. The highlight of that whole summer was when we got to see them live in Cleveland. I wanna say that was on Aug 14th but someone would have to verify that...ah memories



Edit: wow it was August 14th...funny how I remember that after 10 years

[DJ Pioneer]

I remember buying this one too. One of my favorite albums. I was still in high school at the time. A lot of years passed, the CD is scratched to hell, those little plastic things in the middle of the case broke off, but I still have my "Wall Lifetime Music Guarantee" sticker on the back.

I wonder if they can still replace it? Ha ha...

[Nomen Nescio]

I remember my manager, at a pizza I was working at, bought it the day it came out and he had listened to it before me. He said he didn't really enjoy it that much and I was a little surprised since he was a Beasties fan like me. He said I could borrow it and he never asked for it back. I played that disc so much and traveled around with it that I ended up having to buy it several times since.

[paul jones]

I remember the day it came out.I was a courier at the time and bought it in Dunstable.I stopped outside,left the hazard lights on,then went in to buy it.

[Brother McDuff]

I was 13 and had always hated the beastie boys. couldnt stand their whiney-ness. when intergalactic was in heavy rotation on MTV it sparked my interest and inspired me to give them another chance; a shot in the dark, if you will. i still remember sitting at the table in my old kitchen listening through the entire album twice through on my disc-man headphones. it truly was the first day of the rest of my life. from then on the boundaries of my musical tastes were blown wide open and i have been a hardcore music addict ever since, thanks to that record. Hands down favorite album ever.


My name is Brother McDuff, and I'm a Hello Nasty-aholic.

[Laver1969]

I was 28 when HN dropped. It seemed like a very long 4 years since IC had come out. After the IC tours, Yauch seemed very involved with Milarepa and Free Tibet issues. Mike was busy with the Grand Royal label and I was sure the Beasties were fading off into the sunset as they were all in their 30s.

I remember hoping for just one more album and tour. Because my internet connections were so slow, I struggled to get info from their website. But I was so psyched when I heard an album was coming out.

I attended a "listening party" at The Metro, a small music club, where they played the entire album a few days before the release. They also showed the full length Intergalacitc video. Then HN dropped and caught fire. Saw them in Milwaukee and Chicago on the HN In The Round Tour.

And 10 years later...I still love HN!

[beastieboysbaby]

i was 5 years old .

[M.C. Guevera]

I was 10-years-old. I first heard of the Beastie Boys thanks to an 80's hit compliation commercial ("(You've Gotta) Fight For Your Right (To Party!)" was the song on there). I heard "(You've Gotta) Fight For Your Right (To Party!)" on the way back home from Hershey Park back in July of 1997. I liked the song but that was it. Then the next year, I saw the "Intergalactic" music video on MTV again and again and again. I really enjoyed it. I didn't actually end up getting Hello Nasty, but the hoopla over the album is what would soon lead to me becoming a fan of the Beastie Boys and in September of 2004, I finally got the album and loved it immediatley. I actually think it's an UNDERrated album if anything.

[pesto pizza]

yeah i bought it the morning it came out from my local woolworths(nice not having to travel to town,unlike when "the mix up" came out).went home layed on my sofa,the sun was beaming through my living room window,played it twice in a row.thought to myself hmmm fancy some beers,went to the shop and they were playing on the radio "intergalatic".great day and a strong memory.great summer rocking my new balance(copying adrock on his trainers)
and dc's(copying the whole band).music icons, style icons.fuck, what would my life be like if i did'nt have the beastie boys to cheer me up.

[oneroomonedog]

10 years already??:)i was 20 ,i remember me ,my x. and friends at hall of rescidence went to in the round world tour at wembly .the spinning stage was great idea.

[roosta]

I remember Zane Lowe premiering "Intergalactic" on MTV on brand:new or what ever it was at the time...went into school the next day to tell my beastie-holic friend about it...

"What's it sound like?"

"The craziest hip-hop song I have ever heard...brilliant"

Couldn't wait for the album...counted the days. When I first listened to it, the one thing that leapt out at me was the sample during Mike D's "Dogs love me cause i'm crazy sniffable". I thought it was amazing. I think that album was all i listened to rest of that year...discovering all the layers and samples.

[RobMoney$]

Who remembers stuff like this?
Did you really keep track of the release date just so you could make a ten year release date thread?

[ampm]

On this very night...
10 years ago...
along the same stretch of road...
in a dense fog...
just like this...
I saw the worst accident I ever seen...
There was this sound...
Like a garbage truck!
Dropped off the empire state building!
And when they finally pulled the driver's body...
From the Twisted... Burning... Wreck...
It looked like...
THIS!!!!!!
hooo hooo hooo hooo hooo haaaah!

Yes sir...
That was the worst accident I ever seen...

[laura]

it was the summer before last year at the high school..
I had been the only person I knew who was listening that album.. I destroyed it. I listened every single day at least till xmas I think. never had so much love at first "hear" anymore..

one year later, always on summer time, I almost destroyed the live recording at glasgow/SECC (y)
