Last Beastie Boys Photos ?

[PORKYS1982]

I remember seeing some photos
of the Beastie Boys at the :

Los Angeles Premiere of the Beastie Boys'
film Fight For Your Right Revisited at The
Egyptian Theatre in Hollywood on
Monday May 2nd, 2011.

There were about 5-6 photos total.
Does anyone know where I can find them ?
I think this might be the last appearence of
the Beastie Boys as the Beastie Boys ?

Thanks for any help , Ben ( Porkys1982 )

There were two FFYRR premieres: Here's the photos from The Egyptian Theatre in Hollywood on May 2, 2011:

And then, on the next night, May 3, 2011, at the Soho House:

The last photographed appearance of the three of them was, ironically, "a year and a day" prior to Yauch's death.:(

[PORKYS1982]

Thanks so much for posting the photo
links. I am putting together
a NEW Beastie Boys Video Compilation.
Kinda a Farewell To Adam Yauch and
The Final Years of the Beastie Boys.
So These Photos will be great for the
Compilation. It is so unreal watching
this stuff that I am making ,
and thinking that this is the last of
any new stuff that will ever be put
on any of my Beastie Boys Compilations.
Warning : When I post it in a few weeks ,
be careful - it is a very emotional piece
of work. I did not mean for it to turn out
being so touching , but it is what it is !

No matter how emotional it will be to watch, I'm looking forward to this. I know you'll make a great job of it and it will be a fitting tribute Ben (y)

Wasn't Yauch's passing exactly "a year and a day" from the release of HSC2? May 3, '11 - May 4, '12

Yeah, I think you're right. That is weird.

[Nicodemus]

That was the first thing that popped in my head after reading tmz.com that day. Made it that much more surreal and unbelievable. It's been over a month and it feels like last week.

Fuck.

He is the King and Hot Sauce was his castle. (y)

He accomplished so much in that time spam. Still doesn't change the fact that this it still hurts, but he did leave us with something grand. And apparently there's more we haven't heard.

Thank you Yauch.

:(

Woah! That's weird and cool.

[Nicodemus]

Too cool.

[laurie_hammy]

I wonder if there is any footage of this night. Looks like a Q&A kind of like they did with Sundance.

I wish we could all wake up from this nightmare.

I wish we could use the time machine, bending time and space.

I wish it was last year and I wish I could have helped in any way I could.

I wish we were in 2009

I will try! I know firefox has an area to rip photos off of flickr. :cool:


Yeah so about it being over a month. I was listening to some song on the way to work and just started crying because a line in it said "i miss you tonight." Just made me think of MCA and how unreal this all still is. :(

[sab0tage]

I copied them to my iPhone no problem

[PORKYS1982]

For some reason I can't download flickr photos. I really need these photos for my MCA Tribute Project. Can someone somehow upload them or send them to me by email. Thanks , PORKYS1982@SBCGLOBAL.NET

Good lord this killed me but I just wanted to let you know there is a live video of their last time together too. It's short but nice.

WOW!!

speechless

more tears

thanks for posting this

[Kid Presentable]

This is probably something that comes from a childhood issue, or whatever. It sounds very simplistic, and for that I apologise, but seeing MCA when he was in the midst of the hard-going treatment (as he appears to be in that video and then later on with the cowboy hat) I always got a horrible feeling that he would have sounded different. Like a horrible, twisted, agonised version of himself. Or just weak and empty. It's just what my mind does when I see confronting stuff like how ill he truly got.

So it brings me a great deal of peace to know that he just sounded like himself. Just sounded like Yauch. Something about that is nice. I know he still sounded like himself on the stuff he re-recorded on HSC, but even so, that was months before this clip.

I don't really have a point. Thanks for the clip, Jo. So good to see he was just the same mad snake he always was.

[JoLovesMCA]

You're welcome guys.

Yeah I agree, it was nice to hear that he still sounded like himself. He never let it kill his spirit. He didn't seem phased by it even if he was hurting inside. Gawd that was the first video with him that I watched since before he passed...but I had to. It hurt, but I am happy to see those three together promoting their filmio. :o

[PortlandBGirl]

Thanks Jo for that video. That hurts but it is so nice to hear his voice, you can tell cancer didn't crack his spirit.

[MCA4ever]

I feel the same. You don't want your mind to go there. But this was nice to see and hear that voice again. A bit sad for Mike D. He was looking at Adam with such love and to me, a bit of sadness. I wonder how he's doing these days?

Thank you for sharing that.

Aww man thats beautiful footage... does seem like MCA was doing incredibly well at this stage. Hard to believe what happened just a year after this considering how strong and healthy he appears here. I watched my granddad loose his life to cancer so I know what it can do to a mans body.

Then again a year is a long time.

Regardless, very glad we have this footage.

The man!

Great thoughts KP. Aughhh...thanks for posting Jo. This clip really gets me... He sounded so great. Just like Yauch.

ty for sharing ... that was good to see.

[YoungRemy]

thanks for posting that link. so this was May 2011, a year before his death and one of his last public appearances. according to the RS story, his health took a worse turn around Fall of last year, (when they began recording) and Spring of this year (when he was hospitalized and later lost his battle).

I wonder what other treatments, procedures and operations he had to endure all the while being a film entrepreneur/video maker and recording/performing artist at the highest level...

i noticed only the slightest slur to his speech pattern.

he had seemingly adapted to his physical needs/challenges as well. throw on some sunglasses and let the beard grow like a billy goat, brother.

the definition of "cool' in the future should just read -

see; Adam Yauch

[Kid Presentable]

Yeah, tired in November 2011 (from treatments, I presume), and things had spread by April 2012.

It wouldn't surprise me if he'd just come from surgery in that clip, especially given the looks of concern Mike was giving him. I recall noticing the bandage back when the photos surfaced, and a few people thought it must have been more radiation, but they must have taken the lymph nodes by this point to cause the eventual facial paralysis.

So at this point I guess it looked like early stage face issues - he was favouring one side of his mouth, sort of nervous, and then the beard as well to maybe ease the appearance. I'm speculating.

I'm guessing after the radical second surgery he must have started the Nashville genetic targeting thing. It must have really sucked after the optimistic prognosis when this thing turned into a longer, more protracted battle.

By November 2011 he was tired, they recorded, he did Occupy Wall Street. I understand he didn't want to do chemo but it was a last resort. That was (northern) Spring 2012. Seems like all that could ever happen was they kept things at bay.

2009 - 2010 looks like it was the most positive point of the fight, after his first surgery and the radiation. I suppose they were just waiting to see if he was in the clear. Such a shame it was not to be.

I take no pleasure in any of this. But I remember being ready to go into bat for him (if only in spirit) at the outset, and so really felt the impact of not knowing what was going on when things took a turn for the worse. It sort of helps to try and piece it together. Apologies if that's not the case for anyone reading.

[YoungRemy]

it is very helpful and healing, KP.

I have the same way of analyzing things based on timeline, then going back and retracing your own thoughts and piecing it together like you said.

I agree with all your speculation as I would also like to add the FFYRR filming period- this would have taken place in Fall 2010 if I remember correctly? he had a bandage in those photos as well. like you said- that could have been from local radiation or a more radical lymph node removal but it is hard to piece that together.

I guess what I really respect is that Adam moved forward in every creative way possible.

because you can't, you won't, and you don't stop.

I never read anything on his surgeries after the first one. Is their a link somewhere here? I heard that he took part in Occupy Wall Street but never read or saw anything on that either. Is that out here somewhere too? I understand your need to know. When you care about someone, you want to know everything. Good and bad.

[Kid Presentable]

In the immediate aftermath, a newer forum member who worked as a doctor was good enough to point out that the facial paralysis was almost certainly the result of a neck dissection, and inferred that it was not uncommon as a second phase of treatment. That's all I'm going off. It makes sense, to me.

Very good timeline you did there. I agree the facial paralysis is probably from surgery and that is what I read in my research too.

http://www.gbmc.org/body.cfm?id=198
The facial nerve can be injured, especially the marginal mandibular division, which would result in weakness or asymmetry in the lower corner of the mouth.

It makes sense. I know a hell of a lot more went on. Those treatments wore him out. It would anybody. And I think the reason why little was released about his condition goes back to the fact that he wanted that privacy. We've been discovering a lot of new things about what he did and boy he was working hard! I am glad he had that privacy even though it drove me mad at the time not knowing.

Everything started and ended with May. :/
