[Turchinator]

Bad April Fools joke.

Ya, you are probably right now that I think about it more clearly. Lame joke. I guess I am just bummed I fell for it hook, line and sinker :(

Wish I could delete this thread.

Don't hate on yourself. A big part of me really wished it was factual when I finished reading it.

Sigh. To be a die hard fan.

Thanks Micodin.

I tried to change the title of this thread so that it does not get others' hopes up. I think thread titles are written in stone tablets unfortunately :)

I saw this too! When I saw "tour" I was already in disbelief because I regularly check their main site and facebook, twitter and nothing had been posted for over a month. Other than that it was good I think, but come on as if they wouldn't focus on the new material!

What is sad though is that on twitter lots of folks were asking where to buy tickets. LOL so a lot of folks fell for it!

[Laver1969]

Aughhh.

[MCAadROCKMiKEd7]

That was pretty cold. Rick Roll.

[TommyD]

So wait....how did this all go down? How do we 'know' this is a joke?

Other than the fact that they haven't mentioned anything on the site themselves?

Not saying I don't think its a joke....just wondering what's leading us to believe it is for sure a joke? Other than obviously the timing.

And, who's joke is it? If it was Metal Underground its a little weird that they would have had the balls considering Yauch's unknown status, etc. Not that bad but wonder if the boys were aware of the joke.

it all depends if you believe Korn is making that Tween Wave album.

We hope you enjoyed our April fools stories yesterday as much as we did! In our long-standing tradition, we devoted the entire day to fake news and spoofs. We had fun writing them despite the fact that we can't really fool most of you in our tenth year of the tradition, even when we start off with some very plausible (yet fake) stories. Many thanks to those of you resisted blurting out “April Fools!” In case you missed them, you can read yesterday's April Fools stories here.

Ha.....ok....now i get it....thx.....shiiiit.....was still holding a thread of hope!

[LuciferHam]

I resisted the temptation to get my hopes up and feel like all my christmas's came at once, and though I knew this would probably be a fake, I coulden't help but get a little bit excited deep down inside.

I'm a very gullable person, what can I so. But also a wishful thinker. Good to be positive I guess.

[JoLovesMCA]

Uh so stereoboard.com just posted about it. They usually post legit news. I think nobody realizes it was an April Fools. Maybe Beasties will see this and put an end to the rumour. :/

[Brother McDuff]

the only thing more annoying than April fools day are the corny-ass chumps that honor it with their bullshit pranks. :mad:

They take information that the fans say serious?!

Well a lot of times news outlets will just rehash other news without checking sources. In this case they didn't think about the fact that it was April Fools.

Also people outside of the fandom really have no clue so they will believe anything, or more so than us.

I know this is a few days late...but just thought about this link that was posted April 1, 2012.

And...? Why post this now? Weird.

[Odie]

Most misjudged thread bump ever?

[Randetica]

i would love to see adam and mike live but not as 'beastie boys'

[romanpetr]

this joke was extremely stupid, but Mike and Adam could to take some musicians, as $Mark, Fredo, Mixmaster Mike, someone else and then organize something like short instrumental tour without solo' s dedicated to Adam Yauch's memory....just music...it should be nice....

If they continue making music that would we the only possible thing to do. They could play instrumentals / hardcore songs. It would be great to see Darryl Jenifer of the bad brains playing bass with them, Adam had the same style of playing and for the fact that the bad brains were such an inspiration for Adam
