things you wished the beasties have done

[FLO MASTER]

the tops of my list was a movie! I always wanted them to film "scared stupid". I heard many scripts and I really wanted them to finish it.

another would be a book, complete with a book tour and signing.

who else has wishes?

[scrappy]

i wish the beasties had made more records together.

In 26 years they put out 8 major records.

As compared to for example the Rolling Stones who managed to record 26 albums in 26 years.

[RobMoney]

Consider what they accomplished and where they took music to, and consider every album The Beatles ever put out was in the span of 10 years!
That's it. 1960 - 1970.
From "I wanna hold your hand" to "Lucy in the sky with diamonds"

[FLO MASTER]

I consider the beasties a better group than the beatles merely because they had stayed together as a group for over 30 years without breaking up.

I love the fact also that from the interview I read recently that they split everything 3 ways, so there was no dispute over who owned or wrote what and was due more royalties. thats real friendship!(y):)

[DJ Pioneer]

another would be a book
who else has wishes?

Yeah, it would've been great if MCA could have written an autobiography. Adrock doesn't seem like the type, but Mike D possibly would.

[FLO MASTER]

I would have also loved to have had a video game from the beasties. the 90's sega b-ball game was really cool but a would have loved an entire video game with them. the "sabotage" video would have made a perfect theme for one. or perhaps they could have compiled all thier video's themes into one game for example, "fight for your right" could have had many angles. a pie throwing scene, a scene where you get to trash a house or throw out unwanted guests. the possibilities could/would be endless!

"hold it now, hit it" would have been another theme where the beasties would be at a skate/bike park and they could do all sorts of things, simalar to atari's 720 game or paper boy.

[pshabi]

atari's 720 game or paper boy.

[birdfloatindown]

I wish they could have played the HSC songs live. I was listening to "Say It," and man, that would have been an AMAZING live song. I agree with DJ Pioneer, I wish Yauch had written an autobiography. I hope that someday someone does an in-depth, authorized biography of him, since he had such an interesting life.

[pshabi]

Play my living room.

Led Zeppelin was 1969-1980.

they outlasted both, combined...

[RobMoney$]

Zep is probably one of my top 5 bands in history, and I actually like the more than the Beatles.
BUT,...No one pushed the boundaries of pop culture and pop music further than The Beatles in a mere 10 year span. And that includes the Beasties who probably came the closest since.

But we digress...

[YoungRemy]

true, Money$

in my own analogy, beastie boys were similar to beatles in their influence on pop culture and on their avant garde videos and filmmaking side of things, where they compared to Zeppelin on breaking boundaries on the recording production and sound element side of things.

the way they were hands on in their groundbreaking approach to recording seems like the way Jimmy Page did things, of course you could say that Beatles had the help of George Martin and Phil Spector etc... the beastie boys had used the tutelage of Rubin, Caldato, Dust Brothers etc and took it to the next level.

completely spitballing here


and on that note, the beastie boys never made a proper double album, so that's my contribution to the thread

Not too late for someone to do this. I look at the game that somebody made for that celebrated cult bad movie "The Room" and think that somebody could take that game engine and make a Beastie Boys game out of it easily. Perhaps a level per era (LTI, PB etc). Limitless opportunities for mini-games such as pie throwing, egg throwing etc. Limitless Adventure game tasks like finding Rush a screw driver and finding the slow & low demo tape etc. I wish I had the tech know-how to attempt it.....

To me the FFYRR short film was a sort of realization of the old Beastie Boys movie idea from the Def Jam era (albeit with no haunted house).

[JasonP]

I wish the Rhyme and Reason tour happened.

[FLO MASTER]

To me the FFYRR short film was a sort of realization of the old Beastie Boys movie idea from the Def Jam era (albeit with no haunted house).



I remember the plot of the movie "scared stupid" where the beasties had to stay in a haunted house, inherited by yauch's uncle. thats all I remember.

[RobMoney]

I can say one thing I wish they hadn't done,
I wish they hadn't done the Mumia Abu-Jamal benefit show.


I wish they had done more "secret-ish" small venue shows. Similar to the legendary Hiro show or the Quasar shows.

[paulb]

I wanna see the Riviera 2007 Gala dvd...all the music videos they created for The Mix Up..... The Mix Up Pt 2 tracks with Jarvis Cocker, MIA, Snoop Dogg...

Hopefully whatever studio tracks they have remaining can be released at some point.

[Micodin]

The CC dvd was amazing. No doubt.

But, I would like to have EVERY music video they made on one blu-ray please.

[ClarenceAlabama]

I wish they would have released one more Hardcore Punk ep. I loved both Pollywog Stew & Aglio E Olio.

[Swooziemoonshoe]

I was watching the Blur film "No Distance Left to Run" recently and really wished someone had've made a similar doc on the Beasties, interviewing them separately as well as together about their takes on the band's history and interspersing with archive and new footage.

I know it's pointless but it's hard not to think about what they might have done next if Yauch had recovered. There might well have been a huge buzz of activity.
:(

[Bradleystp]

The CC dvd was amazing. No doubt.

But, I would like to have EVERY music video they made on one blu-ray please.

I would like this too. With everything, like the infomercial.

[laurie_hammy]

My number one thing would to have seen Hot Sauce tracks performed live. I reckon that would have been some next level shit seriously.

Also would love to see footage of them recording a song. Havnt seen much studio footage but knowing Yauch he surely had the cameras rolling in the studio at some point.

[DocPeterZ]

1 more tour!!!!!!!!!!!!

I've been a fan since the first album and wanted to see them live sooooo bad.

[martijn]

My number one thing would to have seen Hot Sauce tracks performed live. I reckon that would have been some next level shit seriously.

They played Lee Majors Come Again live in 2009. Only audio, no video

Yeah thats cool, an the live version of "Too Many Rappers" is pretty cool too.

Imagine these songs live -

Nonstop Disco Powerpack
Say It
Long Burn The Fire
Pop Your Balloon
Heres a Little Something For Ya
Ok

[Tam_Tam]

I would have loved to have seen something done with them and Matisyahu. I know about the remixes Mike D and Adrock did with King Without a Crown and Youth. A actual collab. I would have eaten that shit up.

[a.k.a me]

real friendship!(y):)

Yep. One of the reasons I LOVE them (y)

__________

More videos.

More videos directed by Hornblower.

[SpacemanSpliff]

- I wish they could have played (M-TV) unplugged in the early/mid 90s
- want to see the Gala Event DVD
- 1 more tour

[Micodin]

Commentaries for LTI and HSCP2.

I love hearing their commentaries. Even if they can't remember making the records or retell stories.

Just hearing them chat and Mike constantly wanting to turn up the volume.

[pm0ney]

Released an album called "Still Ill."

[JoLovesMCA]

This thread depresses me. I always wanted a remixed album of their older hits plus some extra bonus unreleased and live tracks.

[pm0ney]

The Mix Up w/vocals would have been really dope too. Although you gotta appreciate MCA's honesty when he was like "at this point I think that window has passed."

[The Ron]

I've always wanted them to release a live album...or even put AIFST on CD so I can bump it in my car...

[coreyisking711]

YES!! how has no footage like this ever surfaced?

[yeahwho]

That Fight For Your Right (Revisited) Full Length video is the bomb. Make it a Broadway play. Have 4 acts with the boys continuing to confront future and past selves. When they get released from jail they get transported into Pauls Boutique, hijinx ensue and before you know it the boys have killer flow.

Many musical epiphanies come and go via boom boxes, ghetto blasters and songs flowing freely out cars and kitchen windows. Lots of great style, great dance moves and outrageous hip hop. All culminating with one message at the end, peace and love.

I can imagine some really great plot lines and twists most of them hilarious.

Yeah the Beastie Boy Story on Broadway.

[Nerd Fight]

I wish they had made 'We Can Do This'. Directed by Spike Jonze. Or Michel Gondry. Or Hornblower himself.

[jbaquifer]

I would have loved to have seen something done with them and Matisyahu. I know about the remixes Mike D and Adrock did with King Without a Crown and Youth. A actual collab. I would have eaten that shit up.

Wow, i'm going to have to look those remixes up... a big YES to that collab idea w Matisyahu

Hahaha, great idea, love it! They could really get it into more story-telling in three or four acts.

When I watched it again last week, I was thinking of the "check back in 25 years" line at the end.. what if Yauch's daughter gets into film-making and takes the reigns for making that happen. Would be awesome. Love her cameo in the vid.

[Tam_Tam]

You can find Mike D's remix of King Without A Crown at BeastieMixes.com. The sweetest shit is on there.

I can't remember where I heard Ad rock's remix though. I'll keep looking.

I love it! I'd love to see the story of the Beastie Boys on Broadway. If they could do it with The Four Seasons, Green Day, or Billy f-ing Joel, they can do it with the B-boys.(y)

Hey thanks, I went there and tried the search function but "Matisyahu" and "King without a crown" both came up negative. Any suggestions?

[bigfatlove06]

I wish they had been able to release the current ly unreleased HSC volume as Adam H alluded to in an interview as a series of 7" singles so that once they were all released they would constitute a box set. I also wish they had made all of the live shows they have archived available either as limited CD's like Pearl Jam did with one of their tours, or as digital downloads via a music subscription like Fugazi did. It would also have been cool to see stem tracks (a la NIN) available in high quality audio lossless files.

Actually, all of this could still be done.

And oh yeah, crack open the vault.

[Brass Monk]

I would love to get a live CD of their 1997 Tibetan Freedom Concert performance. That was one of their best shows ever. They did release the live Root Down performance, but I would love to get the whole set in A+ soundboard quality.

[Tam_Tam]

Hey thanks, I went there and tried the search function but "Matisyahu" and "King without a crown" both came up negative. Any suggestions?

Yeah. Click the Rare Tracks tab. It's listed as Matisyahu King Without A Crown (Mike D remix).

[jbaquifer]

i'll check again soon(ish) when i have the time, cheers amigo

[LuciferHam]

Wish they reunited with John Berry and Kate Schellenbach for a gig

[jbaquifer]

I can't remember where I heard Ad rock's remix though. I'll keep looking.

Just listened, Interesting, yeah would like to hear AdRock's remix too if you find it. Gonna expose my ignorance here, but i didn't realize the Beasties themselves did remixes of others peoples' work, especially as individuals. I've always thought they focused on the rapping and let people like DJ Hurricane, Mario C and MixMasterMike handle the scratching, sampling, mixing, etc. Guess i gots lots to learns. —

As far as this Mike D remix, basically no vocals from him apart from that introduction - i would've rather seen him leave the music alone and add his own rapping / vocals in the space around Matisyahu — guessing it wasn't really a direct interactive sort of collaboration based on the way this sounds. I think if Mike D and Matisy. were actually in the studio together, they could come up w some pretty amazing stuff!

..also have been reading the new info re: Mario C announcing there is good material with MCA that will be released at some point. Of course I'm very happy to hear that!

I know it's still too soon to talk about this much, but i did see where Diamond and Horowitz said they'll be open to working together in future, but won't try to carry on the Beastie Boys name without Yauch. I love the amount of respect and love that that shows.

Someone earlier wrote about them calling themselves Beastie Brothers, now there's an interesting idea.. also could invite others to collaborate with them, especially people who've worked/ hung out with them a lot in the past, like Q-Tip, Rev Run, and DMC. ..And though I don't think they've collaborated directly much or at all, the idea of them working with Matisyahu seems intriguingly full of interesting potential

[Tam_Tam]

Do a youtube search for Adrock DJ'ing. There's all kinds of stuff our there. They make the majority of their own beats. I can not imagine how hard it must be for them to even consider making music without him now.

I initially thought it would be interesting to see them and Matis work together after I saw him at HOB in Orlando a couple of summers ago. I know they're works aren't really that similar but I think it would just work. Especially after hearing their song with Santigold on HSCP2. I am convinced now.

Doesn't really matter to me what direction they take. If they put out a polka release I'm gonna be all over it.

[Guy Incognito]

made a track with Snoop. This could have been hilarious.

made a track with the chemical brothers.

done glastonbury again

written a book about their career together

Done a full on disco album.

I really liked Snoop before he got all pimp daddy girls gone wild. I think he and the Beasties would have made something hilarious for sure!

I think Ill Communication era would have been perfect for that collab.

and i think hello nasty would have benefitted from a chemical bros collab. Lots of mental noises. They were both on fire around that time.

My brain exploded just thinking about this!

Seriously though I remember when that Linkin Park/Jay-Z mash up thing was released, there were other artists supposedly in talks to do something similar and Bboys/Chemical Brothers were two of the acts said to be in talks. I know we had that awesome beastiemixes contest but an official release with the bands' involvement would have been awesome.

i think it could have happened, i know the chemicals were fans, but they have never been one for obvious collabs really, they did a couple with heroes and contempories. Maybe there was a remix in the pipeline. I just think with the whole dust brothers connection then maybe they thought it too obvious or maybe didnt have a good enough idea

For some reason I thought it was Beck, not the Chemical Brothers. But their sounds put together would not have been as conflicting.

I'd be all for the Chemical Brothers too.

Beck is another good one. I know Adrock remixed one of his songs which I loved!

[Guy Incognito]

a cartoon

did they ever do Yo Gabba Gabba? I know mike and mark and biz did stuff

[Rodie]

For some reason I thought it was Beck, not the Chemical Brothers. But their sounds put together would not have been as conflicting.

I remember there were a handful of artists mentioned (I think Missy Elliott was another?) and I don't believe it mentioned who would be paired up with who. I just remember hoping it was going to be Beastie Boys and chemical brothers.

[laurie_hammy]

More songs with Tip/Tribe.

[cj hood]

I would love to get a live CD of their 1997 Tibetan Freedom Concert performance. That was one of their best shows ever. They did release the live Root Down performance, but I would love to get the whole set in A+ soundboard quality.

i have this show on cassette...

[jbaquifer]

Done a full on disco album.

HAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAAHAHAHHAAHHA HAHAHAHAHAHAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH AHAHAHAHAAHHAHAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAHAHAHAHAHAH AHAHAHAHAHAAHAHAHAHA, frickin awesome,

and accompanying feature film extending from the Hey Ladies video

[Friis gal]

More songs with Tip/Tribe.

I'm with you on this one!

I'm also hoping that we one day get to see all the Mix Up stuff that we haven't see just yet.

And some more BS2000 stuff would be awesome as well, even though it's not fully Beasties.

[FlechaRojo]

I wish there had more music videos for HSCP2 (this, of course, meaning there was no illness to deal with) and I agree with whomever said a book. I also agree with a Snoop collab.

I remember Bboys did a live performance of Paul Revere with Snoop, that I guess is the closest we'll ever get....

[ClarenceAlabama]

i have this show on cassette...

Is the audio A+ quality? I have a bootleg cd of the show, but the quality is not that great. I would love to get a perfect copy of this show.

[laurie_hammy]

I remember Bboys did a live performance of Paul Revere with Snoop, that I guess is the closest we'll ever get....

Yeah at the Sydney Good Vibes. I went to the Melbourne show an they didnt do it. Snoop was on before Beastie's an he wasnt good at all compared to when they got on stage.

[TreasureEverywh]

Just listening to Jimmy James and thinking how it's hands down the coolest song on the planet. And then I started wondering what might have happened if the Beasties had had the opportunity to collaborate with Jimi Hendrix. The awesomeness that would have ensued is practically unimaginable. :cool:

[YoungRemy]

I wish there were more if not any collaborations with Jim Henson's Muppets

[Kid Presentable]

I wish there were more if not any collaborations with Jim Henson's Muppets

Mmmm indeed, or the voice cast of the Thundercats cartoon.

[MCScoobyT]

Super Disco Breaking into Non Stop Disco Power Pack for the opening song's of their opening set, live at Red Rocks on the first stop of HSC World tour. Me with my five year old at her first Beasties concert... row 3!

Discussing this over dinner tonight, we decided a Horovitz/Yauch cut...

They always had Mike/Horovitz and Yauch/Mike, but never Yauch/Horovitz...

This. (y)
I still have my tickets for that epic tour that never was.

[kll]

I feel like this has come up before, but Get on the Mic is Yauch/Horovitz.

Ah yes. Thanks!

[Megalon X]

As for more achievable things, maybe they should consider releasing instrumental CDs for some of the albums. I'm sure Caldato still has the audio to make that happen.

[laurie_hammy]

More of those "AOL Sessions". Or even better

"Hot Sauce Committee AOL Sessons"


I wonder if they ever rehearsed Hot Sauce songs in the studo when a camera was rolling ? If I had one thing to say in answering this thread it would be to see Hot Sauce songs being performed.

[TheMightyAjax]

Hired me to remix a song.

[fonky pizza]

My style is wild so book me(y) for opening shows.

Blowing away the oldies Stereo Total and X Ray pop, hahaha:cool:
