Mintyfresh on the 1s and 2s!

[Kid Presentable]

They could be Yauch raps. So nice to watch, in any case.

[M|X|Y]

you can tell he's itching for this.

its kind of like jimmy page playing with the monkees though. nothing against the monkees! the beat does sound nice and the dudes all seem to be genuine and having fun with it

REALLY REALLY nice hear the adrock on the mic. he's truly a rap king.(y)(y)

[fonky pizza]

DEFICENTE!!!

[LuciferHam]

Fuck that's awesome, I'm surprised you guys arent more excited to see him rapping again.

Though, who is Champagne Jerry?

[WesleyOHSnaps!]

Very awesome

[Extra Cheese]

sporting the dirty hipster moustache.

[M|X|Y]

Though, who is Champagne Jerry?

Champagne Jerry also known as Neal Medlyn is, by far, the greatest rapper in the world. He likes snacks, books, sexual intercourse, and rhyming.

Dude do you do anything else but whine? Take it for what it's worth. Put yourself in Adrocks place for a second. Little positive encouragement wouldn't hurt. Especially from those who care about him.

[Kid Presentable]

Fuck you. Was just saying he could be easily spitting bars his friend wrote (based on the purple haze line). Pretty bold shit you're talking. It would be obvious to anyone with comprehension skills beyond that of a child that I was happy to hear him rhyming. Maybe you're projecting.

And I've been mad supportive. Search my posts and get some context, or shut up.

[fonky pizza]

Hey Dude.....Don't make it bad....
Take a sad song and.......:p

Yes! And a shout out.

[JoLovesMCA]

This right here. I miss this.

He sounds great!

[YoungRemy]

reminded me of his nutter butter line in OK


also, loved this description


"Champagne Jerry featuring his friend at Joe's Pub in Manhattan"

[Headgotchecked]

Adrock soundin' fresh as always! I hope this is the beginning of something new for my man, I love all 3 Beasties equally and losing one is bad enough... I hope 2013 shows the other two on some new projects.

[beasties#1fan]

Adrock soundin' fresh as always!

hell ya! keep it on & on

[Brass Monk]

Adrock's practicing for the final Beastie Boys album of course......

[Tam_Tam]

The feeling that I got from this night and when I'd seen him play for Bridgett Everett is that he's very cognizant of keeping the shine off of him. He was there the whole night. He sat with his wife and Cey Adams until he was called on stage and then exited immediately after he was done. Champagne Jerry calls all of his guests back on stage for the last song. Horovitz could not have been further back in the cut and he didn't even hold a mic.

I knew that he was supposed to be there that night, but didn't know he was going to perform. You got the feeling that he's missed that. It was a good night.

[ClarenceAlabama]

Excellent!

I would love to see Adrock do a guest rap on somebodys album this year. Imagine a new track featuring Q-tip and Adrock. (y)

Here are some photos from the show...

Is Champagne Jerry a real Hip Hop artist or is he more of a Weird Al type?

[Michelle*s_Farm]

best news since May....

Definitely the best news in a long time. The King has the mad skillz.

[LuciferHam]

Good face slug on the man as well

[Michelle*s_Farm]

Is Champagne Jerry a real Hip Hop artist or is he more of a Weird Al type?

What is a real hip hop artist -- is hip hop not allowed to be funny. As far as I know Champagne Jerry is not like Weird Al who is largely known for cross-genre spoofs of popular or classic songs. Champagne Jerry is more like peanut butter on sandwiches.

[dave790]

Good stuff. I hope to see more of that man's enthusiasm on the mic live.

On another note, is there such thing as a decent post by LilTreyR?

[The Ron]

Awesome find...great to see Adrock on the mic again!

[Jay Stone]

Both of them rockin' Mets gear!

[Kid Presentable]

Good stuff. I hope to see more of that man's enthusiasm on the mic live.

On another note, is there such thing as a decent post by LilTreyR?

I probably wasn't real clear in my inference, plus it was my usual baseless speculation. And I was a bit rude.

Feeling optimistic about the two Boys gradually building towards some form of honouring MCA. What more fitting way than through music; new and together, releases of vaulted stuff, new projects. Whatever. And not bothered if nothing eventuates.

[Brass Monk]

Of course Hip Hop is allowed to be funny, but I am of the opinion that a Hip Hop artist should come up in a Hip Hop scene and earn respect and props within it (Like the B Boys did, of course).

But if Adrock vouches for him, that's good enough for me.

[LilTreyR]

is there such thing as a decent post by LilTreyR?

I realize your question is probably rhetorical and meant as an insult, I must ask what you found "[in]decent" about my post? The use of the word "whine"? I saw our brother out there after all these months, doing what he does and I felt so happy for him. Im sure it was not easy and I am sure it comes with guilt and emotions that go along with stuff like this. Just did not feel it was appropriate to, say out loud what we all wish. Just think he needs those who care about him to be a source of strength for him. If that falls into anything less then "decent" for you, so be it.

[cj hood]

I hope Adrock rhymes with some legit crews instead of this freak show...

[fonky pizza]

Not cool for Champagne Jerry, I really like this guy.

And I wonder if Jerry has anything to do with Tom.

[YoungRemy]

I hope Adrock rhymes with some legit crews instead of this freak show...

it's like you've been mad this whole time because Adam Horovitz has been doing his own thing, making music with the friends who have been there for him and supporting him.

come on hood, tell us how you really feel.

[M|X|Y]

i don't think anyone can really hate on this project. looks like good people having good fun. why not?

i just hope that this isnt the extent of his artistic career in the future!

i don't think anyone would deny (prob including the other performers) that the whole thing is more of a spectacle (nothing wrong with that) than artistic.

its like if beastie boys went to tennessee to record country mike and stayed in country mike mode for the rest of their career. anyone can say beastie boys were hokey or just in it for fun or clowny themselves i guess, but i think they were mostly about good music.

does that make sense?

never backed every Beastie related project....never will.

[LilTreyR]

Must be missing something. All I saw was man, still hurting over his loss, trying to get on with his life the best he can. Maybe trying to have a little fun. Anyone or anything that makes that happen for them should be more than welcome around here. Dont get the criticism or anything other than encouragement directed his way, from this mb? Isn't this what we all want for Adam and mike?

You seriously saw all that on a YouTube clip?

I'm impressed.

[LilTreyR]

I'm impressed.


I was referring to the whole night. The pics before and after the "YouTube clip". Not so impressed now? I'm guessing all you saw was the video clip?

Btw- I took my "fuck you" from the only person here I may have offended for my "whine" remark. Wanna question wether or not someone here has "ever had a decent post"???
Enough said.

I think everyone is aware of the vast majority of what you've just said, which is fine. Your initial comment just seemed needlessly and confusingly argumentative. Much like your input here: (http://bbs.beastieboys.com/showthread.php?t=98196).

I don't see how 'they could be Yauch raps' is anything other than musing on a potentially cool / moving aspect of what is already a very nice sight, that being the King up on stage. How is that inappropriate?

Also, your use of the word 'whine' did not "offend" me... Your input just comes across as a little misguided from what I have seen.

[pm0ney]

Yep. It was awesome seeing Adrock rhyme but this Champagne Jerry guy, I dont know man. Seemed like he was goofing on rap more than actually being a rapper.

whatever gave you that idea?

[Micodin]

When was the last time Adrock grabbed the mic and spit some raps? Almost three years ago?

People are reading into this shit too much.

Let the man get on the mic with whomever and whenever he wants.

I'm just excited to see him back on the mic spitting doo-doo rhymes.

Rant over.

[cwdoom]

i think adrock is just having a good time after his close friend died....kudos to adam for living the way mca would have like.

[pm0ney]

whatever gave you that idea?

It's my opinion? What gave you an opinion to the contrary?

[M|X|Y]

im not hating on anybody. the whole thing is a goof. they mean for it to be a goof. its fun, its good to get out, help your friends, etc etc. as a fan its ok to not be totally 100% into something too, dudes. its ok to question things. i don't think anyone's losing any sleep because of our opinions. alls i was sayin is i hope adrock isn't gonna be all goofin all the goof time. i think a lot of us just want to know he'll be back to rappin for realz

blind faith, blind fannery, blindey blindness is kind of blind - its ok to see something and say something, guys(y)

NOW THIS IS WHAT I'M TALKING ABOUT:



Luscious Jackson (https://www.facebook.com/LusciousJackson?ref=stream): Thanks for all the set list suggestions. We are mixing "So Rock On", a new song with a track by Adrock . LOVE IT

The thread you have quoted here was information someone printed that was flat out false. The poster that reprinted the information took it as a personal attack. Correcting a false rumour is "needless and misguided?"

But thank you though for your unsolicited critique of myself and my post. In the future, ill run any potential post past you.

[M|X|Y]

i think you knuckleheads missed the part about Adrock doing a track on Luscious Jackson's new album(y)

[YoungRemy]

never backed every Beastie related project....never will.

and I respect that. and look forward to his next "legit" appearance, like on an album (his own or someone else's), I get that. and his high profile beats, i look forward to that too.

but "freak show"?

maybe adrock only rapped with Mike D and MCA for a reason- it made him happy. I don't think he really cares about his image or busting out onto the scene post Beastie Boys with some big grand re-entrance into the hip hop world.

for now, he's making music with friends on his own terms, that sounds familiar enough for me to celebrate what it is he's doing.

I think Tam Tam said it best with this post

I didn't think anyone is really mad about Adrock on stage rhyming again. But we are looking forward to collabos with legit Hip Hop artists which will probably come. This is something that Adrock has done throughout his career so it obviously does mean something to him.
Let's all celebrate the Adrock is on stage doing his thing again, but I'm not gonna pretend that I like Champagne Jerry nor should anyone else be pressured to.

What a foolish thing to say. You don't think?

Speak for yourself. 'Legit Hip Hop artists', what is that supposed to mean? According to whom? Also who are "we", some strange cabal of folks who determine what a legit and non-legit hip hop artist is (were you the guy who used to place the Beastie Boys records in the "Rock" instead "Rap" in the early 1990's at the local record shop)?

Yes, we better watch out for those Champagne Jerry pressure groups. They are so very dangerous to young people these days -- such fragile minds the young, susceptible to the mind control tactics of the legions of Champagne Jerry fans.

Seriously though, I want Adam to release some awesome new music. My preference is that it is nothing close to what Brass Monk enjoys.

[Nerd Fight]

Jeepers, what's going on in this thread?

It's really nice to see the King up on stage again (y)

I like you, but I disagree with just about everything you said in that post. And I agree with most of what Brass Monk had to say on the topic. Does that also make me a "guy who used to place the Beastie Boys records in the "Rock" instead of "Rap" in the early 1990s at the local record shop? Because I didn't even work at a record shop in the early 90s.

I'm not speaking for JC, but it seems like a few people are more concerned about who Adrock is doing music with instead of just being happy that he's back on the mic.

What makes one "legit" enough to for Adrock (or Mike D) to do music with?

Personally, I was just happy to see he back on the mic. Even if it's with "freak show" Champagne Jerry.

question- how is it obvious and probable to assume adrock is going to join up with some "legit crew" for some "collabos" (4 realz!)

I can't think of more than 5 or 10 adrock guest appearances in 25 years of him being in the music business.

all I can assume is that adam has been spending his time with his wife and their mutual friends and he is doing his own thing for now, that's it that's all there is...
good for him(y)

Same here. Although I would love to see him collaborate with Death Grips. Perhaps a BS 2000 / Death Grips / DFL 'supergroup'. Now that would be fly.

I'm ok with Adrock getting his feet wet again rhyming on stage with Champagne Jerry (hence the earlier comment). However, that doesn't make Champagne Jerry legit in his own right and I agreed with later posting that indicated this, so I chimed in.

No frontin' kid

[Brass Monk]

10 seems about right as for as collaborating on recordings. As far as sharing a stage, I think its more than that.

But 10 is actually a lot when considering Adrock & the BBoys don't/didn't release a lot of music relative to how long they've been active

Not one poster here said they weren't happy that Adrock's back on the mic. Not one.

I think everyone here agrees more than they disagree. But its nice to see this thread so active.

[YoungRemy]

I'll be honest- it wasn't about whether the Champagne Jerry persona is "legit" or not - (that conversation is laughable- the dude is a comedian/performer)

it was calling AH's friends freak shows.

seemed like a dig at the cabaret folks that adam has been running with.

carry on with the legit hip hop convo, dawgz...



How do I do multiple quotes in 1 post again?

you click the earphones with the plus sign.

or are they ear-goggles in the hip hop parlance?

[Micodin]

I would say either Ear-Gogglez or Beats By Dre with the plus sign.

I'm not quite sure. I'm trying to get more updated on the hip-hop lingo.

you mean the forum admin, tpk?

nah...

Adam continues to plug away with Champagne Jerry and his bandmates from his other band The Tender Moments. it looks like they performed with Bridget Everett this past week and Broadway star Patti Lupone joined them onstage.

Adam and his wife will be special guests for Champagne Jerry's next Joe's Pub show in March, along with Max Tannone and others...

[MCA4ever]

How awesome to hear this voice again!!!

[JoLovesMCA]

A fan forwarded me a question they asked Q if he would tour with the Beasties in MCA's place and Q responded with "ssssssh!"

Take what you will with that.

Mike, Adrock and Q I am so down with that, but Q doing all of MCA's lines. I..........hmmmm.

[Micodin]

Q-Tip is neck deep with in-house G.O.O.D. Music production, DJing at his residency, working on his next solo record The Last Zulu, and ATCQ still owes Jive one more record.

I could see him do a one-off show. But a tour? He ain't got time for that.

[Kid Presentable]

He's ideal for a one- off. So's Biz.

[ClarenceAlabama]

The plot thickens! hmmm.... (lb)

[Kid Presentable]

I wouldn't even be mad at Flea having a crack at Multilateral Nuclear Disarmament. In fact, it's a testament to Yauch as a bassist that you would need so many different styles to pay tribute. Mario C on the upright, Daryl Jennifer/Tony Alva on the hardcore.

I'm just talking shit.

Tip or anyone else doing MCA verses would be ok by me, as long as it was heartfelt. The more I think about it, the more possible it seems. Doesn't have to happen, by any means.

[YoungRemy]

that's what I've been thinking, KP, re: guest bassists

I keep running a decent lineup through my head for a tribute show.

they could do Remote Control, Sabotage, Gratitude, Live at PJ's, and a whole bunch of instrumentals with their usual crack band of guests featuring a rotating lineup of bassists.

tackling any MCA lyric? I don't know man. that's a delicate topic.

I think maybe they pull out one or two classics and rotate some guests for Yauch's lines. maybe So Whatcha Want?

I thought even Mike or Adam could give it a go for a real moving tribute.

what if they traded off on one of Yauch's solo joints?

imagine Adrock busting out a Year and a Day or something like that.

close it out with every musician on stage playing I Don't Know. bring out every guest from every album and his wife and daughter.

so that would give a 10 or 12 song setlist right there for a fundraiser or something.

proceeds to the Tibet House or cancer research...

I really like that idea of rotating bassists for full band song performances. it's a testament to their musicianship like KP said...

[pm0ney]

Could you imagine..."Adrock, Mike D, Q Tip and Mix Master Mike Live at Madison Square Garden."

Drool......... A guy can dream cant he?

And yeah, I was goofing on TPK the old forum moderator.

[JoLovesMCA]

Well as I said I am all for a show that would bring these guys together. I would travel if it were just a few dates. If Q is that busy then I guess it would be on a smaller scale or much later into the future.

I love Flea. The idea of him doing some of Yauch’s bass lines interests me. I don’t know why I feel different about the lyrics though…

When I hear any other band tribute and do his lines okay… but alongside Mike and Adam is where it gets a bit difficult for me….

[Micodin]

Just my opinion. I rather preserve the memories of all the shows I go to see and not cheapen it with a show (or tour) without Adam Yauch.

I understand there are all kinds of possibilities that can be made for a live show, but under no circumstances do I want to see Tip or Biz or anyone else rapping Yauch's masterful and personal lines.

To me it just cheapens the legacy.

I'd be more excited to see Mike and Adrock do a DJ set than see them perform their classics or stuff off HSCP2 with a MCA stand-in.

People got all up in arms when Run-DMC performed without JMJ. But that was almost justifiable since Jay's two sons were on the decks.

The thought of this just makes me cringe. Maybe a one off show... But I couldn't imagine a tour.

[Kid Presentable]

Oh, certainly not a tour.

I agree with this. I would feel ok about some guest bassists stepping in on some of the live songs at a concert, but somebody else rapping MCA lines doesn't feel right.

I would love to see Adrock and Mike D. record a new song with Q-tip for his new album. That would be nice!

[Michelle*s_Farm]

i want a new band and a new sound. i cannot imagine a world without that.

[JasonP]

A show with John and Kate would be nice. Not the John and Kate with all the kids....you know what I mean.

[MCA4ever]

that's what I've been thinking, KP, re: guest bassists

I keep running a decent lineup through my head for a tribute show.

they could do Remote Control, Sabotage, Gratitude, Live at PJ's, and a whole bunch of instrumentals with their usual crack band of guests featuring a rotating lineup of bassists.

tackling any MCA lyric? I don't know man. that's a delicate topic.

I think maybe they pull out one or two classics and rotate some guests for Yauch's lines. maybe So Whatcha Want?

Just a show or two with a rotation would be nice. That way it would not feel like someone was trying to replace Adam. That's a great idea (y)

What ever happened to John?

The 'Made In America' reunion Run-DMC show I saw in Philly has some other dude on the decks for most the set, they just bought out JMJ son's mid set and let them each spin for a min. Rev Run didn't even remember their DJ names... and had to ask them what they went by live on stage.

As far as a performance with with Berry and Schellenbach, that would be money!

I think if (and it's a big if) they wanted have a guest emcee/s do MCA lines the best choice would be Run-DMC. A double bill type of thing where they all are stage together. Rev Run, DMC, Mike D and the King Ad-Rock can all take turn on MCA's lines. MMM can DJ for both groups and even do a few of MCA's rhymes. The Beastie two, Money Mark and Fredo could maybe even rework a track or two by Run-DMC as a live band. Shit even Hurra could kick a rhyme or two.

After all without a few new shows, when is beasties#1fan ever gonna get a chance to see the Beastie two for the first time! ;)

Just my opinion. I rather preserve the memories of all the shows I go to see and not cheapen it with a show (or tour) without Adam Yauch.


IMO I think as long as they don't bill themselves as the Beastie Boys, its cool.

As for bringing Berry & Kate in, I see no point in that. I really don't see what they bring to the table other than technically having been Beastie Boys for a half a minute.

Bringing in guest vocalists to do Yauch's line is a really fun idea. If we were just thinking of MC's that sound like him, I'd say Pete Nice (but he's busy managing a Whole Foods store). But seriously, the idea of rotating MC's to fill in for him on a song to song basis is pretty damned cool. Doesn't matter if they sound like him or not as long as they got credentials.

[Kid Presentable]

Run doing LTI era stuff could work. Serch doing Professor Booty would be preems. Haha

[Brass Monk]

I'd say Pete Nice (but he's busy managing a Whole Foods store)

Jokes.

Pete is actually an respected and accomplished author of African American baseball players and co-owns a bar in Boston with Dropkick Murphys' Ken Casey. It's actually a really nice spot.

Members of Run DMC? 3rd Bass? Hurra? This is askew dreaming of people spitting Adam Yauch's rhymes when he hasn't even been gone a year.

It's like you people are using the Fantasy Football system and just throwing in names for people to take over for Yauch. Weak.

[Micodin]

What ever happened to John?

I saw him at a B-Boys show in Long Island. I was on the side of the stage in the VIP section. Mike D. is John's son Godfather. The kid was decked out with every piece of merch available all signed by the Beasties.

My friend Seth and I talked to John for a minute but his little kid was the superstar with autographs and merch.

[Kid Presentable]

It's just about the music, just ideas. If the extended group got together to do something publicly, it's likely that people would stand in as a mark of respect. Sure, some of these ideas are truly awful, but this isn't the most eggregious thing that could happen. Just a bit of fun and showing of love. Not some super serious "you've passed away so consider yourself replaced" buzz.

That's cool, and I respect that.

But in some ways it seems reaching and in bad taste. I feel like a lot of it isn't about the music and some of it is selfish reasons just to see the band performing again. I mean seriously? 3rd Bass?

Let some more time pass. Or fantasize about the Beasties Supergroup.

I'm more in the Mike and Adam doing their remixes and DJing. It seems less forced.

Whatever. Dowhatchalike.

[pshabi]

Wow. I got maddddddd respect for a lot of people posting in this thread but these ideas are awful. There is NO WAY Mike and Adam are even thinking along these lines right now. Honestly, I seriously doubt they ever will.

I see them keeping with their current stuff low key. Jumping on a track guest spot with some other MC would be tight. Down the road, collaborating on an album just the two of them would be awesome too.

[MCScoobyT]

I disagree, at least Beastie Boys and Run-DMC have history and respect each other. No one person (i.e. Q-Tip) should fill in for MCA. A show with these two acts together would have the right feel of history and respect.

Either way it's not worth arguing about... In the end I don't think Mike D and Ad-Rock are the types of artists that want to or need to relive what the Beasties did.

If they do ever do something it will be for the fans and be legit.

But just hearing them Dj??? while it could be a noice next (small) step, but it is also so overrated, knowing that they could be playing, spiting rhymes, hardcore vocals or even singing.

To push my point... Biz Dj's all the time now, I've seen him a few times but it always leaves me flat, thinking about how much better it would be if he'd drop a rhyme and bust a beat box.

[MCA4ever]

My thoughts were for some sort of tribute. I can't even think about a New Beastie band :(

Pete owns a bar with a member of the dropkick murphy's. Well shit, I'm impressed. To quote the more respected group, the anti-nowhere league, So what?

Usually when someone makes a statement and then starts off the next sentence by saying "but seriously" it means they were not making a serious "claim" or statement in the first place. Just a tip that can help your social skills in the future. But when you responded, I took your bait. My bad there.

Your more then a Dj, you make beats work with emcees. If I just saw you spin some records and not work in some of your own beats...

You and I and most on these boards have many recordings of Mike and Ad-Rock playing/djing their favorite tracks or stuff they went digging for and it's cool...
but that's their future to you???

Like I said, it would be noice small next step. If they love it they would have been doing it on every hiatus, and they have dabbled a bit.

Lets switch it up a bit... what about producing full LP's with groups that they find interesting?

I reread this and wanted to add that Run-DMC would be doing all of their classics intermixed with the Beastie Boys classics. Kinda like the mix-taped I linked to

But the more I think about it and drink on it... I'm like fuck it, leave it all alone. Nothing would ever live up to the times I saw them live.

and I will always go to anything and everything Mike D and Ad-Rock do live, that comes through Denver and it will be enjoyed.

just a little fan fiction for the message board peoples ...

but you don't think there will ever be a one off tribute show?

yeah of course anyone else doing an MCA lyric is cringeworthy in all honesty.

but I really like the idea of playing instrumental songs. the ones where Yauch woud just kick back and play bass.

I don't see them doing live hiphop ever again...maybe the other stuff...

Realistically I think any sort of tribute from Adam & Mike will be in the release of unheard music that the 3 of them worked on together. I can't see either one of them being apart of a new band. i dont know if i would want to.

[JoLovesMCA]

I am perfectly fine with leaving what the Beastie’s did in the past. When they sold everything in their studio it seemed to me like they were done with any type of recording for a long time. If they do something with another artist I’ll support it. Basically whatever they do I am going to be there for them.. Now the general public that’s a different story. I have folks who ask me through my own Beastie community when are they going to tour again or when is the next album coming out. Yeah sooo…They don’t care who replaces MCA as long as they get a Beastie show.

I’m not going to think too much about what if this or that… I am just gonna wait for Mike and Adam to do their thing. But it does make for good conversation. :)

[LilTreyR]

Mr. Message Board Police.
:D

[Brass Monk]

No one was told to go fuck themselves because of anyone expressing ideas and hypotheticals Mr. Message Board Police.

Actually ya kinda did. After an initial comment was made about Pete Nice making a hypothetical guest appearance, you ultimately (a few replies later) said "Go f*ck yourself"

And separate from that you were getting snippy with other people throwing around fun but admittedly crazy ideas.

But enough of that, back to the conversation. I kinda would like to see Pete Nice guest vocal some MCA lines in a show environment, only because he has made his living (as an MC) as an MCA impersonator (as far as his flow is concerned). This is why Just Ice's human beatbox DMX mistook Pete for Yauch (not simply because they are both white, as Pete claims). So it would be interesting for that reason. But I am quite aware this will never happen.

I've heard it elsewhere. Kind of a white rapper urban legend, like Screech from "Saved by the Bell" being Mike D's brother or Pete Nice committing the lowly act of selling fraudalent baseball memorabilia. Wait....the last 1 might be true.

But seriously I'd like to see him recite some Yauch lines (will never happen, I know)

[Jiberish]

Oh. I was hoping that the comment itself was from you. I'd never heard that Search rumor before. Cool.

Adrock and Mike D have been musicians their entire life. I highly doubt they will just stop making music now. The only thing up for debate is when and how they go about it.

I wonder if Yauch ever had a discussion with them about the future of the band. Considering the situation, I would think so. I guess we will have to wait and see what happens.

I was under the impression they never sold the gear afterall. they recorded the Tender Moments album there recently and the studio page of their website has been updated with all the equipment specs and the "for sale" link has been removed.

keep in mind I don't know shit.

being positive- maybe they'll keep the studio, rent it out to friends, and we'll see what happens with the remaining members of the Beastie music family.

one thing I know is that this thread kinda shows how painful and emotional all of this still is for fan community. I remember in May with all the speculation, and there was a general "too soon" approach to even talking about it.

it's only hope. that's all it is. however absurd it sounds when you read it.

I'm not giving up.

please bear with me one last time:

just one last performance of Gratitude. in the form of a video on the bboys main page. recorded at Oscilloscope with all the friends and families. guest bassists paying tribute to that beautiful bassline that Adam created all those years ago...

just them hanging in the studio the way Yauch would have wanted it.

they unplug their gear, walk away.

an empty studio.

lights out.

A troll, eh? Like calling people names or tellin' em to go f*ck themselves?
I've done none of that. But you on the other hand....
And a herb, eh? That's what Freud calls projection.
And ya keep sayin' you're done with me. But ya keep talkin' about me, also interesting. Humorous, in fact.
But anyway, it was a stimulating conversation. Thanks.

Wouldnt waist your time. He's a foul excuse for a human. IMO he's disrespectful to every member of this board. But then you have a few who think his words are "infinite wisdom", go figure.

You two can't provoke me anymore. You can keep trying but it's falling on deaf ears.

Way to act like the victim, now.

No more needs to be said.

'He had us fooled in the most beautiful way...'

Reading this made me want to go back and read that article again. This interview was so soon after Adam passed. Maybe there is hope of them doing something one day. I sure hope they changed their minds and didn't sell everything.

Can you imagine making music without him?

Oh? Well hey if they still kept some of the studio they had as a band then that is cool. I don't know, what's his name from Anthrax said he had gotten texts from Yauch saying they are selling everything in the studio but we don't know the end result after he passed.. Dechen might have kept some things in tact... I imagine Mike and Adrock have somewhere to go to and work on music whether it be new material or unreleased stuff they had been doing with Mario C. I mean Mario C confirmed there was material that they had but it was too soon to release it...

I guess as a duo they would have to really be inspired for anything new. The three of them had something special when it came to writing and then Yauch was a big part of getting them into the studio to WORK. I think the easy thing for them right now is to DJ and remix.

Always hoping to see Adrock and Mike do something though. I can't imagine not being able to see them again.

And yes it is still painful for the community. It's still surreal, odd...strange when I think back about the reality of it all.

Thanks for the correction. (y)

I guess all that this discussion has proven is how truly and unnecessarily bleak and suck a world without the Beastie Boys is.
It is.

Fuck it, I'm still seeing Adam and Mike and MMM et al putting something on. And rather than guard the legacy, I'd be all for people filling in if it came from a place of love. It's not about being selfish, it's about wanting these guys to pick up the pieces.

And while some of these ideas might be sketchy on paper, I wouldn't begrudge the guys no matter their choice. Shit, I'd like to hear pshabi fill in for Yauch at this point. That's no diss; this is about feeling, not academic levels of fandom. Just a celebration of what the band meant.

They can do something. I'm sure it's still way more raw than we could ever fathom, but they can do something.

I yearn for more than I have right now. I did before Adam died, and I probably will never stop wanting to hear more from them. Honestly, I feel no compulsion whatsoever to apologize for my desire to hear more of my favorite band in the world. I have no opinion whatsoever about what they should do, I have no guess whatsoever about what they might do, but I do have an opinion about what I hope they do. I hope there is more music to come, just like I have since I was 15 years old.

That is exactly how I feel. I have always wanted to hear a new LP from this band. That desire has not gone away with the passing of Yauch. Indeed I fear the desire has become much more intense. At this point a sombre (but hopeful) instrumental LP would be bliss.
