I wouldn't mind if they did a live show at festivals where they covered classic rap songs that influenced them.

It would just be good to see them perform live again.

Hmmmmm. REM seem to be alright letting their songs sit around. Not everything has to be resurrected, even more so when such an integral part is missing. People can move on from what’s defined them. If either Adam or Mike want to make music then by all means, I’m intrigued, and they obviously can do whatever they want Beastie-wise. But I’m not sure what anyone gets out of 2/3’s of the Beasties performing Intergalactic, and I sense that it has limited appeal to Adam and Mike themselves. Something instrument driven on the other hand seems more likely to me, even more so something new entirely. But I’d be surprised.

been saying this for years.

I'd be a little scared to hear new music for fear that it might not be all that great. I've come to appreciate the fact that sometimes resurrecting the past is just a bad idea. I mean, look at what happened to Star Wars. Sometimes it's better to just let things be. I'd be perfectly satisfied to hear Mike and Adam tell old stories for the rest of their lives like they did on the book tour. That was more than enough for me to get my Beastie Boys fix.

On the other hand, the third season of Twin Peaks was brilliant. 20 years later and it was somehow as good as not better. That seems to be the exception though, not the rule.

there was 30 years between Thunderdome and Fury Road.

i know Adrock is still making beats and i wish he would share them. the beat culture is huge nowadays and i would love to hear what he’s been chopping up. he could bring back BS2000 and start dropping beat tapes.

BS2000 Simply Mortified was a great album... It's been 20 years, but I would love a new album.

nah they are done. they haven't "rapped" in over 10 years except for that goofy champagne jerry softball coach thing horovitz did, and a few weird mike d karaoke cover slash dj sets.

as the years have passed i've really come to realize yauch was the whole band. meaning the lifeblood inspiration and reason they existed. and that's fine. growing up i always assumed horovitz was the de facto frontman but nah....it was yauch, it was always yauch. they simply cannot do music without him.

This would be awesome!! I love BS2000! I have the first record too and for quite a long time I thought I was listening to a Grand Royal band from Berlin!! Ja!Ja!Ja!

I don't see them rapping much. More as a band. They had lots of music without rapping. It just doesn't seem like it would be that hard to make a dope set. I bet their friends that toured with them would be into it. Just saying, I would not be surprised, either way.
