"what the fuck are the Beastie Boys doing on a fucking punk site who ever fucking posted this should go stick a dilldo up there ass becuase they are the fucking gayes thing i have ever fucking seen"

this person has probably never heard the awesomeness that is the Beastie Boys punk album.

Egg Raid on Mojo is one of the best songs ever.

i was at the show and it was just a great time. Mca had rancid play his wedding and tim wanted the beasties to play his but they were recording.

Looks like the poster of this just failed at life.

"Ill Communication will always be a masterpiece"

I gotta disagree. Beastie Boys should've called it a day after Check Your Head. Ill Communication was like a album full of songs not good enough to go on CYH.

Beastie Boys haven't had anything to do with punk for over 20 years. Maybe as a minor influence to their music, but I digress, while you may like the Beastie Boys better 90% of the bands covered here, they have nothing to do at all with punk rock, and if they have more to do with punk rock as a musical movement than 90% of the bands covered here, then you guys need to get your shit together and stop giving coverage to so many major label bands. Seriously, reviews of stuff like From First To Last are just redundant wastes of space. We all know it sucks, don't review it. Review the I Accuse! 7 inch instead or something.

...you don't get it do you?

The Beasties are a far better rap/hip-hop group than a punk/hardcore band.

"No one's doubting their roots"

I don't know, some of the comments gave me that impression.

As a casual Beasties fan and an avid cinematographer, this was the best live DVD I have ever watched. There is no way I can tape a show the same again.

No one's doubting their roots. They just developed into a band that didn't have much to do with the punk movement.

Fuck, they're probably better as a hip hop group than a punk band.

For anybody doubting the punk rock roots of Beastie Boys, check out the album "Some Old Bullshit" great Hardcore record and it even shows the early progression to what they would become know for.

More recently they have used the riff from Sonic Reducer by the Dead Boys as the basis for "A Open Letter To NYC"

Although i'm not into Hip Hop at all, i can really listen to The Beastie Boys, i don't think anybody touches them in that genre.

"What? I like this website because it encompasses everything. Plus the Beastie Boys are more punk thank 90% of the bands covered on here."

Ill Communication will always be a masterpiece. Saw a black and white concert on Muchmusic w/ Mix Master Mike a long time ago and it was awesome. Last couple albums sucked, sans a few tracks from Nasty.

"If its that kinda party i'm gonna stick my dick in the mashed potatos!"

beasties are pretty lame. but good review.

shout out to the double comp, rock that uber micro.

and goddamn, fuck, if you're not interested in the review then don't read it. just looking at the most recent reviews and this is the only hip hop one, and i can't see any indie/whatever ones there either.

score is for all the ladies bitching. if you don't like this site, go start your own, and don't forget to take your handbags with you when you leave.

im not too in love with these guys, theyre creative and all but im not into that kind of hip hop but its much much much better than any mainstream rap artist, ill give it that

As someone who has seen the Beastie Boys live I would wholehardedly recomend it to any and everyone. This looked like a sweet idea when I saw it a week ago, and this review sealed the deal. Now to get paid...

"Why. Just, why. This is in no way related to punk."

I agree that some of the albums being reviewed here aren't punk related, and kind of a waste of time, but the Beastie Boys man?! they used to be a punk rock band!

"The people that post on this message board are so full of ANGST!!"

Does anyone know what this word means anymore? It is not a coverall adjective for people who are complaining.

these guys are more socially concious than most of the so called "punk" bands out there today. at the same time, they don't take themselves too seriously, and they really put on a great show. they are the real deal, a real class act. i highly recommend this dvd, even if you aren't a fan. extremely well put together, it really captures being in madison square garden for a beastie boys show.

here's my take on all you shit talkers. if you don't like this review, this dvd, or the beastie boys.....then to me, you're fucking boring. talk all the shit you want, show how cool you think you are, but you're fucking boring, and take yourself way too seriously

This is a great DVD it really shows how great the Beasties AND Mix Master Mike are when they work together. The songs preformed contain crazy samples and are alot different from the records.

Also the boys are working on a new album and they said they are playing their instruments again. I hope we get more Check Your Head and less To the 5 Boroughs this time.

Some folks take this shit way too seriously.

No one is forcing you to read ANYTHING.

I knew nothing about this DVD until just reading that, but now I'm pretty intrigued.

Never thought I'd say this, but I gotta hand it to you, Kirby. Great review. You took someone uninformed and uninterested and completely changed it.

More reviews should be like this.

This sounds totally amazing, but the Beastie Boys are the singular biggest offense to hip-hop I have ever heard. Shitty, shitty music.

Why. Just, why. This is in no way related to punk. I've said it before, and I'll say it again - who wants to help me start a snooty, pitchfork-style hardcore / underground only punk news and reviews site?

The Beastie Boys were cool when they were ripping off Reagan Youth, but they are also very good at the whole hip hop thing.

The people that post on this message board are so full of ANGST!!

You know what Paris Hilton's new single sounds identical to?

"Kingston Town" by UB40...Seriously. Check it out, it's crazy.

Stop pretending everyone knows about hiphop and liking this band, just because they were a shitty shitty punk band 20 years ago.

...and I probably know more about hip-hop than you know about punk.

Game. Set. Match.

- Kirby

stop advertising apple products..

Have any of you retards whining about how this isn't punk ever considered just not reading the fucking article? That's what I do everytime this site posts news on some shitty emo or pop-punk band, all of whom are a billion times less punk (in attitude and in sound) than the Beastie Boys.

i am still a bit amused as to how the beastie boys get coverage from punk media... i mean yeah, they were a punk band in a different shape and form back in the early 80s or whatever, but they pretty much sucked and are universally known (and respected) for being a hip-hop crew, so what the fuck? Stop pretending everyone knows about hiphop and liking this band, just because they were a shitty shitty punk band 20 years ago.

Punk as fuck !

the 3 g's are more punk than anyone posting this lame-o site.

everyone thats bitching.

step 1: get the album check your head
step 2: listen to the track entitied time for livin
step 3: quit bitching.

I'm trying to come out of my relaxation period Poppa Fresh!

your first sentence reeks of geekness man. if i wasn't sitting here with two computers and browsing oink at the same time, i'd have some reason to insult you. but, good job.

That sentence is like the tip of the ice berg, I can do much 'geekier!'

What? I like this website because it encompasses everything. Plus the Beastie Boys are more punk thank 90% of the bands covered on here.

- Kirby

These guys are ok, but if I have to sit through them rhyming the phrase ''till the break of dawn'' again I may just shit myself. Its almost as bad as Tim Armstrong. Yes Tim, we realize that you live in a concrete jungle, we dont need to hear it on every album.

Holy shit, Kirby wrote a review!

i want this, score is for the beastie boys-oldpunker-

angry nerd pt.2
I know this site was started by a few people with a common interest in what they loved (obviously punk music/culture hence the name punknews.org). But I can go to a few dozen websites to read up on indie reviews and the same for hip-hop and metal. thing is those sites don't EVER review punk music...so this is where I go. I can't tell you how much more I would enjoy reading a review for an old Angelic Upstarts album over the next sweater-clad indie failure. I don't even mind a few indie titles slipping in every once in a while, I know indie music is in someway part of the scene (how else would I know what all my ex-girlfriends are muff-diving too?). SO here comes the bombardment of "why don't you write the review then"? simple, I know I'm not any good at it and it would come across as a long-winded rant....something like this.

Can you get this in stores?

i submitted an armchair martian/bad astronaut review that hasn't gone up yet...

Great review, great dvd.

Hands down the best concert DvD that i've ever seen. Its the closest that a person will ever come to getting a concert experience on a DvD.

your first sentence reeks of geekness man. if i wasn't sitting here with two computers and browsing oink at the same time, i'd have some reason to insult you. but, good job.

what the fuck is this shit. of all the new music that came out last week ALL this gets next up? How about the Casualties new album or Reel Big Fish live album? SOS had a few releases as well. FUCK indie/hip-hop.org oh OH and rock kills kid gets a review. c'mon, EVERYONE already knows that's turnstyle indie and not worth picking up. two words "Try Harder"

i really want to see this. i've never been really into the beastie boys, but everything they do is great. their music is always fun.

Nice review...I'll have to check this out...

It's a good idea for a DVD but I really don't like the Beastie Boys.

This sounds pretty interesting. I'll have to check it out.
