Most prized Beastie posession?

[TAFKASB]

Mines gotta be a Beastie Boy hoodie I bought in New York late 2004. It was a rare promo edition for TT5B. Never seen another one since. I've googled it, the whole shabang..nada. The store I got it from said only a handfull were made. I thought sure, I've heard that shit before. Still pretty cool though.
What's yours?

[Kid Presentable]

^That same hoodie. My wife and I each have one. I know which one you mean. ;)

[TAFKASB]

Is it navy blue with beastie boys embossed in a darker blue on it? Also does it have the NYC Brouhaha Division on the front?

[Kid Presentable]

Yup. My friend has one, too. (y)

[TAFKASB]

Damn..lol. Here's me thinking I had a kinda one off, and there's 3 of you who have it! Where did you get yours?

[Kid Presentable]

Friend in NY.

[pshabi]

I had a hat printed with a "Beatsie Boys" logo and wore it to a concert in Cali a few years back. I was front row and Adrock saw me and asked me to throw the hat up to him. He held it up for the crowd and told me that his lawyers would be in contact with me. I'll keep that forever.

I got to kick it backstage after the same show. Unfortunately, the boys had already left. They had a list of what time each act was going on stage hanging on the wall back there and I took that. Also, got a can of energy drink that was in the cooler back there from the bboys pre-game spread of goodies and drinks and whatnot. Not too crazy but they bring back good memories and I'll always keep them.

[Pootytang]

I would have to say the VW emblem/necklace I threw on stage at Voodoo Music Fest and retrieved it back in Dallas the following weekend. Totally long story.

Also, my Beastie Boy/ Mike D Adidas shoes.

[silence7]

I've got quite a bit of cool Beastie stuff, but most of all, and this is going to sound extremely sappy (I am on the "drink" tonight), but the friends I've made while running my site are what I prize the most.

Beastie fans seem to be the most chill, friendly people ever, and THAT is what I prize the most.

I'd give all my cool cd's, vinyl, etc, etc, away, as long as I could keep my peeps.

[Brother McDuff]

My leaked copy of Hot Sauce Committe, Pt. 2. ;)

[Sir SkratchaLot]

The extended version of Possie in effect where Adrock tries to talk tough and makes fun of a guy for saying "why are you comming in my face?".

Are you serious? I wanna hear this. I like my colored vinyl.

That's cool. And it's true if you have cool friends to share your love of the music then that makes it even better.

You guys got me beat on so many vinyls and rarities but I've done fairly well. I really love the rare footage of the guys that I was able to obtain and I guess I would say one of my very prized possessions is my old concert shirt from their tour in 1994. It's a bit worn but it brings back loads of cool memories from that era as a fan.

[kll]

Yauch's actual Hamburgler shirt he wore during the TT5B tour that he signed with a nice message.

[laurie_hammy]

Mike D's towel from a Melbourne live show haha

[CHECKHEAD2004]

A postcard I received from Yauch in 95.

In the words of my good buddy Adrock... you're welcome!

[Pootytang]

Thanks Cey!

[b-grrrlie]

I've got a few setlists and timeschedules from backstage, signed stuff and yadayada, but the most prized are an olive pit that Yauch spat out in Belfast and a postcard from Yauch when I was recovering from cancer...

[verynate]

Ah, tough to say if it is real, but I bought it many years ago -

It's a poster that says: Paul's Boutique - The Hiatus Still Over (No typo)

It's signed (supposedly by all three) in silver paint pen: Reads -

Left Side MCA: :"Yo Bop Out" Signature
Middle: Mike D: "To Bop City" Signature
Right: Adrock: just signature but one tooth colored in and a drawn-on goatee.

The back of the poster has some paint pen on it like it was rolled up real quick.

Again, no idea how to authenticate it - the sigs look real to me.....cool poster.

i got this poster....not signed. i also got the circular PB era one to....love that ish! anyway, they did a meet & greet at a record store in '89 in Boston. maybe it's from there...maybe!

[verynate]

I bought it from a record store in Boston so maybe it's legit. I'll take a picture of it and post it tonight. I also have the oval poster----I agree, it's awesome.

[MC Moot]

A little convoluted/disassociated but my brother stole a pair of solid gold framed Raybans from Eric Bobo on the Vancouver date of the Ill Tour…dem glasses wuz smoothe…and ironically were then stolen from my Brother about a month later…:rolleyes:

:) Great story.

[stipemanblue]

I just bought the dvd I.......Shot That. Just finished watching it for the first time. OMG! Great film. When they went up the elevator to sing in the crowd. Too much fun!

Aside from their albums I'd say this dvd is my fave Beastie Boys item.

[Laver1969]

I remember somebody was on here bragging about getting Mike D's fart in a bottle.

[M|X|Y]

that was my cousin's friend's neighbor and he prefers to call it a flatulent emission thankyouverymuch

[Nicodemus]

Horovitz's tooth that he lost whilst fucking around.

[pshabi]

Horovitz's tooth that he lost whilst fucking around.

I've seen it...I can verify. I'm tellin' everybody, it's the god damned truth!

[Burnout18]

I have a promotional poster with The beasties, run dmc and LL on it from the LTI era.

Ummm its home safe and sound but i really have to frame it and hang it up.

[paulb]

2 Beastie Boys Adidas tracksuits from the 2004/2005 tour....the Orange/Black is signed by MCA, Adrock, MMM, Money Mark, Fredo.... and the Blue tracksuit.

[pm0ney]

I have an original press signed vinyl of She's On It.

is it pre-Zadar?

[sab0tage]

MSG HSC MSN.FM Sasquatch suit.

I was waiting for you to come and steal the show Thad ;)

[paulb]

Id like to see a photo of that. Sounds cool.

[Micodin]

I have a bunch o' stuff... But my fav's are

The 9:30 Poster that was given to us after the show. Got it framed.

The Philadelphia at the Pier Poster that is signed and number by the artist. Got it framed.

A 3'x3' Promo Poster made on thick board of the TT5B artwork.

Beastie Dice from the Vegas show.

But.... The all time fav is a custom made hat with my name on it that Cey Adams made for me for X-Mas in '05.

I'm probably forgetting stuff...

I have loads of vinyl, some rare stuff, but nothing that is near the quantity of Sir Skratch A Lot.

[JohnnyChavello]

Venue flier from 1987 Brixton Academy show in London with Run DMC.

"We hope you will enjoy yourselves but would ask you to leave quietly because we run the risk of being banned from taking any more bookings of this nature. If everything goes sweetly we will bring many more gigs like this to the Brixton Academy."

Not sure it went down quite like that.

[Gabriely]

A postcard I received from Yauch in 95.

(y)

[brooklyndust]

Two Setlists from the Mix Up Tour in 07. Hammerstein Ballroom in NYC and The Filmore in Detroit. They're on my wall with an 8 foot Paul's Boutique poster I got from the MSN contest. The poster is numbered in the corner. I think it's 231/400.

[Turchinator]

I have an MCA autograph that I recently had Mike D add his name to. one day I hope to complete the trifecta. it took 6 years between meeting Yauch and Diamond, Mike D told me I was very patient. I think it's the memory of the experiences I will cherish most (y)

[bigfatlove06]

Licensed To Ill Show Vinyl signed by Hurricane. For sale if anyone wants it.

[DJ_Skrilla]

Man this thread came back from the dead, cuz I originally posted in 2010? Any pics of the TT5B hoody? I think one of my favs is also my Professor Booty 12" I bought and it came with the drunk elephant sticker in it. It makes you pretty stoked when you buy a used record and find a score like that... still got both... and colored vinyl still makes me happy. BS2000 pink from the BBoys store... Cmon... Its not a show vinyl though... :)

[Sir SkratchaLot]

I got this weird bootlegg tape with Biz Markie rapping with the Beasties and they're arguing in their raps. Pretty awesome.

[Sir SkratchaLot]

Psssyyyyychhh!

[brooklyndust]

I think one of my favs is also my Professor Booty 12" I bought and it came with the drunk elephant sticker in it. It makes you pretty stoked when you buy a used record and find a score like that...

I just bought a copy two weeks ago. The guy was charging $15 I was able to talk him down to $10. Brooklyn Dust sticker still included.

It's always nice finding a rare record through crate digging rather than buying on ebay.

[abbott]

i dont have much.

the thing I watched/used daily was my skillz to pay the bills vcr tape.

I thought it was cool, I got 2 copies the day it came out and was happy to see a sticker was on the back to cover up a misprint, I assume, as the later release did not have the sticker to cover the back.

After most parties back in the day we would end up putting it in the vcr and passing out before sunrise.

[MCAadROCKMiKEd7]

Hmm, well I adore the rolling stones magazine cover t-shirt I own, but my most prized possession has got to be the fold out Pauls Boutique 20th anniversary edition vinyl

[Bernard Goetz]

I bought it from a record store in Boston so maybe it's legit. I'll take a picture of it and post it tonight. I also have the oval poster----I agree, it's awesome.

I was in line that night in Boston - made it near the front of the store before getting turned away because the Beastie Boys were done. My friend got in and they all signed his vinyl LTI gatefold. If you ever find someone claiming it was his: it was at Strawberries Records in Kenmore Square. I remember someone in line broke a shop window. Huge line too, which we were surprised by since we figured everyone but us had forgotten about them by that time (Oct. 89).
My prized possession right now is my unplayed copy of HSC2, which is on the turntable waiting for my new record needle, which according to UPS is "out for delivery." It's like I've got my own little 3 MCs 1 DJ video going on.

[MCAadROCKMiKEd7]

I made a RIP Yauch shirt that I adore

http://www.customink.com/designs/yauch/sjn0-000q-9jmh/twt

Im making another real cool one soon

[WesleyOHSnaps!]

I love my color vinyl and all the old 7 inches I have.

I also worked at a music store during the Ill Communication and Hello Nasty era's. I really enjoyed Midnight sales and ticket sales.

I got a handful of promo stuff from the music store job. Hello Nasty post it notes, stickers, posters and I once had a cardboard display of the sardine can that got destroyed in a move.

I have every magazine from the Hello Nasty era still. I use to cut up all my magazine's and hang beastie photos and interviews on my bed room walls, so the check your head and ill communication era mags never made it. I do have all the cut outs in a zip lock bag still...hahaha.

I guess my two prized would be my Grand Royal Magazine collection. I think I'm missing one.

And my shirt I gave to my girlfriend in high school that has the boys in front of the cabin and says beastie boys on the back. When we broke up she threw it at me inside of one of the record stores and yelled "take your stupid shirt back" (she was a unhappy person) and I said thanks and have had it ever since. It's pretty holey now, but when Yauch passed I wore it every day for a week.

[captain_caveman]

Nice Shirt. Long Burn The Fire. (y)

[Heather_D]

The only thing I have that's sort of important to me is my all access pass for Lollapolooza. Rather disappointing cos the show ended up being cancelled because the fairgrounds got flooded. Just wasn't meant to be.

[Pootytang]

Pootytang -

I'll dig it up and do that.

That is so awesome. When I got mine I was diggin at a used record store and someone had obviously sold all their Beastie Boys collection that day and I picked up a bunch of awesome singles. Only problem was the record store knew they were rare so I think the most I paid was $20 a record, but the Professor booty promo was like $6 and the sticker just fell out when I got home and I was like fuck ya... (DITC aint gonna mean shit to kids nowadays)

Where is the pictures of the Sasquatch suit?!!

[Avalanche]

I'm making myself a "Hey Ladies" tee righ now, with a cowbell on the front, and the beginning of the lyrics on the back - "Hey Ladies in the place I'm calling out to ya".

If it turns out nice, I'll post pics. ; )

[sab0tage]

Although I have a bunch of cool stuff (shown in other threads) including a couple of pieces of vinyl I don't know anyone else who has, I guess mine is my signed copy of CYH vinyl that I won in a Capitol comp around the time of the remaster release.
Everyone who has something personally given to them (i.e. postcard) by one of the Boys beat me hands down though - that stuff is golden :cool:

[MCScoobyT]

Where is the pictures of the Sasquatch suit?!!
Here (https://sphotos.xx.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ash4/376550_10150404199551737_785378253_n.jpg)
The suit itself is nothing special (you can buy the same costume on-line if you want). It's just cool it was part of the MSN/MGS listening party and the MSN.FM fan appreciation campaign. It was extra sweet that I got it as a surprise gift on my MSN video set tour trip out in Hollywood. It's also pretty neat to know that all 3 boys all got a chuckle watching it do a little Big Foot Gangsta Lean on the hardwood at MSG!

I rocked it last Halloween with my Triple Touble 12" in hand and won a $50 prize at a local record shop that was doing a music inspired costume contest.

[lrf1211]

I have a poster from a show the Beastie Boys did at the 930 Club in DC in 2004. It has a place of honor!

[silence7]

MSG HSC MSN.FM Sasquatch suit.

And to think I was like a block away from this thing when you were out... I really wanted to check it out, but kid sleeping, late, long drive home, and I didn't want to be a pest.... I'll have to get out there to see you, beers on me. (y)

2 years later and I still stand by my comment (http://bbs.beastieboys.com/showpost.php?p=1745109&postcount=9) I love all my Beastie friends.

[xavito]

I would say all the memories I have with them....and maybe a signed TMU cd by all of them the day it got released in Germany - Yauch wrote "fresh from the press!". I also have a MCA tour jacket from the Pageant Tour. But the memories are priceless...

[Izzy]

Mine is my MCA airbrush shirt, my autograph Spin mag cover, and my bboys ring. Also my tumblr page.
Could you post some pictures/links? I'd love to see them.

[hornblower77]

6-month thread bump to see if anyone's most prized Beastie posessions have changed - especially with Christmas having come and gone!

I'll start - thanks to some very cool people, I'm now the proud owner of a Licensed to Ill show vinyl! Grail officially attained.

Nice!!!!! Do you mind sharing how much it ran you? I'd love to cop one some day.

[Michelle*s_Farm]

My original unopened Country Mike LP. Pretty sure it is the last one on the planet.

[Micodin]

I started collecting signed & numbered tour posters and fliers a while back. Only for the 20something shows I have been to. They are professionally framed and look nice.

My vinyl collection is bonkers. I have other rare stuff too. But nothing that is action figures status.

[YoungRemy]

completed a very special personal mission that started with MCA's signature on a piece of junk mail in 2006, followed by Mike D signing it last April, concluding with Adrock's signature back in December.

it will be framed with a few other pieces AIFST memorabilia I collected over the years...

[Micodin]

I also have a cool MMM signed poster that someone from the boards sent me. ;)
