adrock and mike d are still making music whether its remixes or guest starring on a comedy rap tracks,I just assumed after mca passing the band would end,apart from releasing a book and maybe one archive album.
Now I got the feeling they might work again including rapping on another project with other people,together.
Money wouldnt be a motive, just the need to be creative in a musical form

Everything they have been releasing thus far has been solo or as Adrock/Mike D so I think they will probably just continue doing that.
I still highly doubt that they'll ever doing anything as Beastie Boys aside from releasing rare stuff we've maybe not heard before.

They will continue to release new work as Ad-Rock, Mike D and other associated names as they see fit. They are creative and do it because they want to. So yes, the chances are 100 percent they will carry on doing it (whatever weird, wonderful 'it' that may be). Can they tour and perform old material without the others? Of course they can perform old songs as covers. See below what it can sound like.
It is awesome (http://youtu.be/k_OIlUEsoAQ) ;P
Will it be the same? No. Will it be Beastie Boys's Ad-Rock and Mike D? Yes.
Will Yauch's spirit be in the room? Always.

I know the Beastie Boys as a group are done but I'm still holding out hope for an Adrock solo album in the future. If he did some BS 2000 instrumental tracks and then also threw in some rap collabs with some real artists, I wouldn't be mad.
Jay Z is about the same age and he's still putting out hits.

I will not be satisfied until they do something better than their best LP. Rob Pollard is older than they are and putting out more songs in the past three years than they have in their entire careers. Time to stop messing about and get to work.
See recent article on a Pollard's output and twelfth album (http://thequietus.com/articles/14139-robert-pollard-blazing-gentleman-review) in three years.

This is a joke right?!
Yes I am joking. However there are semi-serious issues underneath the 'joke'. Since Paul's Boutique I have been behind the idea that quality takes time and artists (or people in general) should not rush their work.
I am a fan of DIY indie group Guided by Voices (GBV). Rob Pollard's productivity (in terms of writing and releasing albums) is amazing. However, the quality at times is questionable. Still I cannot figure out how he can be so prolific considering that there are some real gems he has written and released. In some ways I have wondered about an alternative Universe where the Beasties put out more albums. Normally I disregard this idea as lowering the quality of their classic LP's.
Another unrelated issue that Pollard raises is ageism in music. When I saw GBV's 'last show' in 2003 in NYC Pollard made fun of Sonic Youth being old (Pollard is 57). He then called it quits for GBV saying he was too old (a bit melodramatic in my opinion). Recently he has brought GBV back which made me happy. I like ageing rock stars in part because I am ageing and it allows me to identify with my former self's music idols. Since about 2000 the issue of ageing and Beastie Boys has been on my mind (on and off).
Do I want Ad-Rock and Mike D to continue making, remixing and producing music together -- hell ya! Can some of their tracks be better than their older Beastie Boys' material, I believe so. All because something is a classic and placed on a stone tablet in our minds does not mean that it cannot be improved or out-done. A trap hardcore-inspired track with rapping could well do the trick. The future will tell.
On a final note, I have been listening to Danny Brown's excellent LP a lot lately I can see the two of them giving Danny a run or his money if they had the time and interest to do so. Perhaps Ad-Rock and Mike D are continuing to explore and experiment before they settle down to seriously work on something like an LP together. Life is having something to look forward to.

I wish that artists like the beasties are free to keep on making music wherever creativity leads them.
I wish that this "old band" gets, stays, really indie, I don't want to see them featured in other's celebrity flat projects.
I want them to keep on supporting other artists too and fullfilling creative projects.

I think they need to enjoy the creative and production process and i think that would be harder if they got back together to try and make something and always be thinking of Yauch and also having it compared to the beastie boys stuff. If they do solo stuff i think they would get more enjoyment out of it. I could see them guesting on a couple of each others tracks and possibly overseeing some sort of release of unheard stuff but physically making music as a unit. more chance of getting my gran in the paratroopers.

Interesting ideas. I think M and A are grown up enough to handle this loss. I mean Yauch would never have prevented them from doin' their own shit. When you are 'brothers' with mutual respect you let each other do what they want (e.g., collaborations / independent projects etc.). The absence of Yauch in the studio would be sad. Sadness can lead to creativity though. Either to make others happy in a sad situation (e.g., me and you and other lonesome losers hangin' out here missing Yauch so much it hurts), try to provide words of resilience when under threat or being beaten down (e.g., 9/11) or simply making a sad song because you want to express your feelings surrounding your own or others' sadness. Creativity spawned by sadness can be surprisingly uplifting (e.g., Brian Wilson comes to mind, although there are other songwriters doing this effectively -- if effectiveness really matters when you are just trying to connect and express yourself).

ITs not just that he wouldnt be in the studio, there would be times where they would want his advice or be in situations that remind them too much of him. Grief is a powerful thing and can rear its head in anysituation and be tough to deal with. There are still things that remind me of my dad daily and he died 8 years ago and i occasionally find myself holding back the tears. I just think that putting themselves in a recording studio as a unit would be very hard to deal with, they might still produce something but it might be a less enjoyable process which could come out in the music, they could possibly feel that and maybe wouldnt be happy with the product, i think them doing new things and moving on would be something yauch would be proud of.

I think they're professionals and can do it. Another exmaple is MF Doom finishing Black Bastards after his brother was killed. He did it, because it's what his brother would have wanted. Whatever they're going to do, I'm sure we'll eventually find out. They seemed to think that Yauch was going to pull through, but my guess is Yauch planned for the eventuality and let his wishes be known about what they should do.

I agree with you. I don’t believe Yauch would ever keep them from doing what they love, but I think as Beastie Boys it just wouldn’t be easy for them to do. Nor enjoyable as you pointed out. I remember reading Yauch say that there was this special energy that only emerged when the three of them came together. As a duo I see Mike and Adrock doing many things, but I don’t think we will ever see the Beastie Boys again.
Isn’t Mike/Adrock enough? They will still be crazy creative in whatever they do!

Band as I knew it ended in 2009 with the Yauch announcement; everything got real. Even the eventual release of HSC2 was tempered by a cautious optimism, again deflated by what I'm assuming was an aggressive recurrence.
So, in those circumstances, we still got an album. And even now, we still have a website. Since they're sorta characterised by inactivity at the best of times, I can't really say they're done. There will still be something released under the band name, even if it is only an official memoir. Zeppelin were 'done' and still 'did' 'stuff'.
Nobody knows for sure. I like that I watch all of their clips and live footage with new eyes, and listen to the music with new ears. Not even inactivity, being done or an official retirement will ever really finish them off in my mind.
What's important to remember is that this loss must be devastating for Mike, Adam and the extended band family. If the sum total of their honouring of MCA is a semi active online community for us to prognosticate and pontificate within, then so be it. Anything else is a bonus at this point, any expectations are selfish in the extreme.

This. And the bit about led zep.
They were such a unique act, a trio of mc's that were a team (can you imagine mike and adam throwing some rhymes around and then not having that third voice there, i think it would feel terrible for them) ,they played all manner of instruments, re-invented themselves a lot, a rap act who made an instrumental album, were loved by lots of people from all walks of life, very influential and loads of other stuff i havent thought of. I dont think they will ever be emulated. I think we should be proud and satisfied of all that and not worry about the two lads having to add to that.

I'm just looking forward to the memoir and whatever treats that might have. The occasional surprise like the Yoko video is nice. But I'm not expecting any new music from Mike and Adam minus Yauch. Just don't see that happening.
Some vault stuff would be cool or a final release in honor of Yauch would be great. But for now I'm just enjoying all the music they've delivered and very grateful I have so many wonderful memories.

when you compare Beastie Boys to Zeppelin are we talking about Mike D and Adrock taking the show on the road and performing old hits under the Beastie Boys banner, or are we talking about them forging forward performing new songs under a different name?
I see option 2 as the only way to move forward.

If they're done doing shows, the appropriate thing to do is to release some shows on CD.
I think we were also promised a Hot Sauce Committee Part I. I don't really want archival stuff as much as I do a fully mastered LP. I know they don't owe the fans anything, but I think they should do that. I'm sure those extra songs that Mario C. talked about could even become part of the album.
Kid Presentable
01-14-2014, 07:18 PM
Yeah talking more about releases under the band name. Not necessarily new new stuff as Beastie Boys. Yauch passing has ended the band, however I felt it to be the case in 2009 (as stated). Now it's for certain though.
I think, in its self-assuredness, HSC 2 was like LTI. I'll always be curious if the Part 1 stuff represents a PB-esque progression in weirdness.
Honestly, I'm not phased though. If they have to get on with their lives, so do we.
I do have a strong feeling Yauch was documenting his thoughts on a memoir in his final years.

both... but in my post above, I was talking about option 2... life long musicians don't stop making, sharing and performing music. And if you have a pocket full of classics, pull of few of those out while you preform the new stuff.
I think it will go down with two great solo careers and even a few reunions over the years... as Beastie Boys. Time changes many things, while it might not be on the horizon right now, it will always be 50/50 that it could happen later.

I know speculation brings hope but the only thing that's definite is the book.

They could do all the jazz-funk shit and all the hardcore shit. Yeah then you would want to limit the rhyming part of the show, but the one thing I've thought that they could do, maybe for just one special show, is have guest artists do songs with them, doing the MCA rhymes. I think for a special show, there would be a lot of people who would be honored to do it. Q-Tip, LL, DMC, PE, etc...actually I think there are a ton of people that would be into doing it. But that would be like a one shot special MCA tribute show.
If they wanted to tour, they could do the same thing, just with whoever was supporting them coming up and helping out on a couple songs (but this would probably not be that great). But for the die-hard beastie junkies it might be better than nothing.
They do have a few songs where MCA doesn't rhyme or doesn't rhyme that much, but they couldn't limit it to that. People want to hear the favorites.

Mike already said that he didn’t think they would do anything as a band, but that Yauch would probably like to see them to do something crazy (in the studio) that they never got around to doing as the Beastie Boys.
So whatever they release it will be like HSC…few interviews here and there but no shows.
I’m ok with it too.
I mean I am not ok with the situation. The whole thing still haunts me and there is that constant VOID. Not just with Yauch…but my band. I miss them. But yeah I agree what they left us is pretty extraordinary.
And I think all of these things we are doing as fans...MCA Day, getting streets named after them etc... it helps a lot. ;)

If you have a solid association of musicians and songs already then why wouldn't you want to at some point reunite whoever's still around and have fun doing some shows. Also, and I think this would be the biggest motivator of all whether people will want to admit it or not, but you get used to the level of lifestyle you are able to afford with a nice income like that. What they would make doing shows wouldn't be as high as it was in the past but it would still be a nice income.
I think the reason a lot of people don't believe they'll do shows again is because they want it to be the same. They want it to be Mike D, Adrock, and MCA. But of course it can never be the same, it can only be different. So that's what it would be.
Don't take this as some kind of prediction or anything. I'm just saying down the line, give it some time, if something happens, I won't be surprised.

Mike and Adam will never tour thats INSANE why is it being mentioned.
After reading all the thoughts on the thread I started,few people have said the memoir book and it may come with some unreleased music in 2015 and that will bring closure.
Sounds right and feels right for that to be the case.
Of course Beastie Boys' Ad-Rock and Mike D will perform live on tour again. Hard to say when that would happen as they need a new LP first. Do not think they would tour for an autobiography though unless it included a new LP of primarily Beastie Boys' Ad-Rock and Mike D material.
However I cannot see Ad-Rock and Mike D touring in a "best of" situation. Perhaps they would perform a couple of songs at an annual MCA tribute festival to raise money and awareness for MCA or like-minded political causes (if someone organised it). In a tribute festival for charity context older tracks with MCA could be performed with a cool guest MC, they could do the bits themselves or use his recorded voice. For an awareness type music festival in MCA's honor and for a good cause it might be nice. So hard to say what the future will bring. Although it will bring something.

If you have a solid association of musicians and songs already then why wouldn't you want to at some point reunite whoever's still around and have fun doing some shows. Also, and I think this would be the biggest motivator of all whether people will want to admit it or not, but you get used to the level of lifestyle you are able to afford with a nice income like that.

Don't forget that most musicians that have been know to have great live shows their whole careers, really love the feeling they get from rocking live... feeding off the energy of the audience! They will get the itch, and legendary shows will happen again

The itch now is possibly an ache knowing that Yauch won't be a part of it.

When you lose a homeboy it's gonna be painful doing the things you used to do with them for a little while. But it'll get better. If you love doing something you're not just going to stop doing it because somebody died. I mean that might happen to some people but it doesn't have to. Look at Adrock, he's out doing stuff. I think eventually he and Mike and the crew will be back onstage together.

as a side issue, who would you like to see work with either (or both) mike and adrock.
I'd love them both to do something with the chemical brothers in a "Salmon Dance" type thing
I'd like Adrock to guest on some sort of rawkus rock tune, dont really know enough about who is cutting it these days to suggest an actual act.

I'd love to hear some solo albums from them at least. Do some new collabs with Nas, Q-Tip, Cypress Hill and Snoop Lion! (y) :p
Can't wait for the book next year.

Mike D and Adrock should hook up with other rappers and start a new crew. Someone like El-P. That dude rocks and would totally suit their style.. maybe he's a slightly better rapper though.
Just saw him live with Killer Mike as Run The Jewels. What a show. Those beats are orgasmic.
