That’s Kerry King from the band Slayer on guitar on the song and the video when he still had long blonde hair before he shaved his head and got tattoos on his head
Really made the song 🔥 too. I never really got into Besie Boys, but have always liked this song. And I didn't even know it was Kerry Zking on guitar until a couple of years ago. Hahaha
Yes, Kerry King played the solo and Rick Rubin himself played the guitar riffs. A few months earlier Rick Rubin produced the legendary "Reign in Blood".
@@atk_lovinlife Aerosmith + Run DMC actually made the evening news, back when people actually watched that!! Made my week, because we didn’t have MTV. 🤣🔥
The bleeped out line about their manager (when they showed Russel Simmons) goes:"Our manager's crazy he always smokes dust, he's got his own room at the back of the bus." Dust = PCP angel dust.
My 12.5 year old son discovered this song and the Beastie Boys a couple of years ago. Makes me so happy to see younger generations discovering these tracks and groups. We are close in age(I'm 45) and the nostalgia is real and I love revisiting these absolute bangers with you. My step-dad introduced me to MTV from its premier in 1984. We used to record videos on vhs tapes, and we rewatched them constantly.
The Beasties were the first hip hop crew I listened to. As a punk rock kid it was cool seeing a band embrace a new genre that was still not commercial at the time.😊
Another banger from their "Licensed to Ill" album. So many on that one to check out (Slow Ride, Slow & Low, Rhymin & Stealin....). The Beastie Boys got so much range and can mix so many music genres. Amazing Live performances as well (Sabotage at the Letterman Show pops up....)
“Root Down”, “The New Style”, “3 MC’s and 1 DJ”, “Intergalactic”, “Too Many Rappers (with Nas)” and “Shake Your Rump” are all phenomenal Beastie Boys classics worth checking out. 👍🔥
❤All Beastie Boys videos are fun. They were such a great live band. They really had that same sense of fun that The Beatles had. The Beatles were in their own movies because they were fun to watch. This song has the line "I'll be rockin this party eight days a week" which is of course a nod to the Beatles son Eight Days A Week. The BB were influenced by The Beatles. Love their photo at Abbey Road homage photo.
Beastie Boys are one of my "mind blowing" artists. Beasties, Weird Al, Snoop Dogg, KMFDM, Pink Floyd, and Nightwish (the order I was introduced to them throughout my life) are all artists/groups that I hadn't heard anything like what they were doing before and I fell instantly in love with their music. With the Beastie Boys specifically, my older cousin was babysitting me, my sister, and our cousins. She was listening to License to Ill (one hell of a debut album) while we were in another room watching TV. I just remember walking out and kind of standing there next to the couch listening to the music. It is really the first music I can remember listening to that I liked because I liked it and not because my parents listened to it and so expected me to like it.
Growing up a Montana boy in the 80s I grew up loving country and then started getting into rock and was never really into rap. That being said Licensed to ill was one of my favorite albums ever. Loved the beastie boys!!
So, I'm a 54 year old guy who graduated in 1989. I was a complete rocker. And when I heard this song it got me listening to some rap. It opened me up to some Easy-E and LL Cool J. This complete album is awesome!!
I saw them in 1985. They were the opening act for Madonna on her Like A Virgin tour. It was unlike anything I had ever heard! Loved them ever since!! Love the reaction!!
Dude I love rap and hip hop too. Some of the other people here are probably the old timers back in the day that thought metal was devils music or something. But kudos to you listening to all these different artists. Much love and peace.
Well dag gone BP😂😂This 65 year old Music Nut loves the Beasties,loves all genres, classically trained musician, appreciates all music. The communication between Rap and Rock is exactly as you say, it matters, it exists. Remember man, all classical music was the foundation for all Genres, embryonically. Keep on Rockin, BP. GOOD review👍
I seen them in the original NYC Fresh festival in 1986 in Jacksonville, Florida they were amazing live that was one bad a$$ concert RUN DMC. Beastie Boys, Fat Boys, Doug E Fresh, UTFO, Roxanne Shante, and tons of B=Boys and Breakers from NYC
Oh man BP, freakin everyone had this album when it came out (along with George Thorogood). You could hear it playing in nearly every car cruisin the strip on the weekends. 🔥😎🤘🔥
I've always listened to all kinds of music, and I had a special hiding place for the dirtier stuff my mom didn't want me to listen to...NWA, 2 Live Crew, George Carlin, Richard Pryor 😂 the Beatie boys were in there...this brings back so many wonderful memories, thank you for the reactions!
Beastie Boys was basically the founders of Rap/Rock, The combination of the two most popular genre's of music at the time. They absolutely blew up in the 80's and people could not get enough of them. They had such an impact with this style of music that Run DMC/Aerosmith did the most famous Rap/Rock song ever with the #1 hit Walk This Way. Beastie Boys did so much for music than most realize. So many artists did the cross over collabs. LL Cool J did something back then, Michael Jackson had a lot heavier Rock sound during this time. I had likw 5+ artists on tip of my tongue and now they are gone I must have swallowed them. Anyway I guess you get my point. Thanks for the reaction, and do more reactions with this genre or style of music. Walk This Way is a good reaction if you have not done it yet.
As a middle schooler who was a headbanger, I loved this song. My husband, who grew up on rap and hip hop and basically from the hood, told me in my FORTIES that this video was making fun of us. I just told him we loved it anyway and embraced it lol. I don’t know how true that is, but I think that’s Slayers’ Kerry King on guitar. 1986/87/88/89 were great years for music
Funny thing is back then I was starting to listen to hair metal but I loved The Beastie Boys! They were awesome and there is a documentary on Apple+ that they made about themselves and it was the two remaining members on stage talking about their start until the end.
Before License to Ill came out. the Beasties were part of the NYC hardcore punk scene. Brooklyn was home to L'amour one of the most famous rock clubs of the1980s, this video reminds me of that club.
Rick Rubin is a fuckin genius and funny as hell- that's Kerry King from Slayer dropping the solo, who he was producing at the same time. Anthrax's Bring the Noise gets a lot of credit for metal and hip hop meeting, but there was something going on here a lot of people missed (and in the NYC scene where everyone was hanging out and influencing each other)
Been into old school gangster rap (PE, NWA) before I got into metal back in the late 80s early 90s (Slayer Metallica Megadeth). This Beastie Boys song was always a great cross over to bring both crowds together back in Holland where I'm from
I love this tune! Killer lics, insane bass and K.K. on the guitar was epic. They have move creative blood flowing through there brains than most combined. And they are ivy league college, maybe Harvard and u can tell with the way they produce music. Plse do 3 mcs and a dj, another epic video song
Ah the good old VW logo badge on a big chain. I remember that while i had my first car (VW Rabbit) the badges disappeared from a lot of VWs. Those were the 80s. 👍
I was in sixth grade when this album came out. I wore this tape out, had to buy it again on CD. They opened for Madonna, I wanted to see them so bad. Saw them live a few times in the 90s.
any music is good music, as long as its written, recorded and produced well. music is energy and emotion. as with all art, it doesn't appeal to everyone. thanks for bringing back the music i grew up with. i love seeing younger generations experiencing the music that shaped their generation's music
I saw that look. Yes that was Russell Simmons and the line is "Our managers crazy he always smokes dust he's got his own room at the back of the bus" Russe;; was know to smoke a lot of "dust" PCP back them. Russell is hiding in Indo now.
Back in the 80's, here in L.A. my friends and I would sing "No Sleep Till Tommy's... which was the hamburger joint you would go at 2am after the dance clubs.
I saw them at the Drum in Austin, TX. It's not there anymore. They had a dog show as the warm up act. My nephew liked them so I took him to watch. They were past their prime, We did not stick around to watch the end.
The guitarist in the video and also preformed the solo, is Kerry King of Slayer...lol. Run DMC and Beastie Boys mixed a lot of rock elements into their stuff. Also, Beastie Boys started out as a punk band, and that helped influence their particular style.
Sampling is stealing was addressed back in the 80s by Public Enemy in the song 'Caught, can I get a witness'. Well worth checking it out if you don't know it. The line 'this is a sampling sport' summed up the hip hop scene of the 80s, there was so much creativity and the genre was evolving at an amazing pace.
Hi Black Pegasus! It's Andrew Erroch fae Paisley in Scotland here. These guys were great and huge at the time... Are you aware of the chaos that was caused in the late 80's by Mike D wearing a Volkswagen VW badge around his neck? That resulted in fans all around the world stealing VW badges from cars, and it became rare to see a car that still had its badge. No VW badge was safe. I think the trend started happening again in later years too. There were campaigns attempting to halt the theft of VW badges by Volkswagen themselves and other outlets. I was able to get one myself through the post and I think it was from our Scottish newspaper, The Daily Record. It was a replica badge though and it wasn't full size, but it was solid and quite heavy, if I remember right. I'm pretty sure I did wear it for a bit. Æ 🙏 😂
My music history and ethnic music professor back in college taught me a couple of important lessons when it comes to music. First, you don’t have to like all music, you just have to appreciate and respect all genres in that they’re all part of a musical umbrella. The other lesson is in regards to rap, a genre that I don’t really like but mostly because I don’t really understand its culture. She reminded us that rap in essentials, is modern blues music. Both rap and blues share a lot themes, they’re just expressed differently through music.
Would love to see you do some De la Soul. Plus Beastie Boys played Sabotage on Letterman,playing their instruments. Started out as a punk band I believe.
when you thought of a movie with the beastie boys, they already have one. try "fight for your right revisited full length". it´s a thirty minute music video film with an awesome cast and the beastie boys. but the music video will let you sit there with a lot of questions an fantastic music... 13 years old and there shoud be a part two in 12 years ...
I don’t have a problem with rap or hip hop. Like it very much. Remember the first time hearing hip hop live. Hispanic band at a community center in the early 80’s ❤
"Licensed To ILL" was an absolutely an AMAZING album! Every song was a hit- even if it wasn't a released single. "No Sleep Till Brooklyn" was the first song on the "B-side" and the following song was "Paul Revere". epic epic album! Being a rock fan growing up - the Beastie Boys bridged that gap of rap/hip-hop and rock and introduced me to LL Cool J, Public Enemy, and many others in 80s rap and hip/hop. I was only 10 or 11 when this album came out - but it was an eye opener to more music beyond rock -n-roll.
Back in the day they used to have Sunday matinee. Beastie Boys were just a rock cover band at the time and probably only 16 years old. They almost weren’t let in the club. They will warm up too the legendary misfits.
Us "rock guys" loved the Beastie Boys when they turned up. Grandmaster Flash, Sugar Hill Gang, Run DMC etc were all popular back then. Spoken word to good music was already a thing with say Gil Scott Heron - The Revolution Will Not Be Televised (check that out) and Public Enemy continued the political messaging that we were used to in punk. Many of us are quite eclectic in taste. Check out some NZ stuff much with a Polynesian influence - Supergroove - Can't Get Enough or Sittiin' Inside My Head, Che Fu - Fade Away, Misty Frequencies or Che Fu with DLT - Chains, King Kapisi screams from da old plantation, David Dallas - Runnin' - and so much more. "Get it while I'm living, all I ever hear is the clock tick, tick, ticking.. so I'm bout my business and I'm runnin" David Dallas - Runnin' Sampling. Those of us that prefer the commons have no problem with sampling (we dislike the continual copyright extensions with a passion - it's not for no reason they are called the Mickey Mouse laws as every time Mickey Mouse is about to go out of copyright Disney lobby to get the copyright period extended). Art should be allowed to pass into the commons and be free to use and modify and to be turned into new art. Passed down by bards and communities - not controlled by corporates. Tis always amusing when anti-establishment people support copyright over the commons.
86 I did my after military service USA holiday. 1st stop NY 43rd Street Sloan House YMCA, Run DMC across the street in Madison Square Garden - fire! Later Boston, drive away car to Las Vegas, San Francisco, LA. 86 was an excellent year!
Of course he looked like Run DMC, That was the Quintessential "rap guy" look. This also came out at the same as Run DMC partnered with Aerosmith for Walk This Way. These pieces of rap/rock fusion led the way to bands like In iving color and later Linkin Park
They were definitely pioneers. Not only because they were white in a black man’s game. Their style was groundbreaking. Influencers of generations to come.
Beastie Boys has always had this rock/rap vibe. Linkin Park, Cypress Hill and Limp Bizkit are also in the same vein, but I can't recall anyone doing this before the Beastie Boys.
That’s Kerry King from the band Slayer on guitar on the song and the video when he still had long blonde hair before he shaved his head and got tattoos on his head
Dave Lombardo on drums too!
Really made the song 🔥 too.
I never really got into Besie Boys, but have always liked this song. And I didn't even know it was Kerry Zking on guitar until a couple of years ago. Hahaha
They are in KRUSH GROOVE
@@nielgregory108No.... It's not Dave Lombardo.
Yes, Kerry King played the solo and Rick Rubin himself played the guitar riffs. A few months earlier Rick Rubin produced the legendary "Reign in Blood".
"Walk this way" with Aerosmith and Run DMC came out that same year! This was a time when rock and hip hop were coming together! love it!
@@atk_lovinlife Aerosmith + Run DMC actually made the evening news, back when people actually watched that!! Made my week, because we didn’t have MTV. 🤣🔥
Another great rock/rap crossover is Bring The Noize by Public Enemy and Anthrax.
The bleeped out line about their manager (when they showed Russel Simmons) goes:"Our manager's crazy he always smokes dust, he's got his own room at the back of the bus." Dust = PCP angel dust.
I Loved The Beastie Boys! It was the 80s, we listened to it all!!! 1986 I was 16. It was perfect
My 12.5 year old son discovered this song and the Beastie Boys a couple of years ago. Makes me so happy to see younger generations discovering these tracks and groups.

HOLY SNAPPERS!
The beastie boys were punk first
Yep, the Beastie Boys were punks first. They were called "The Young and the Useless".
Hollywood Undead became my favorite with like 50 bangers over the past decade and a half
Another banger from their "Licensed to Ill" album. So many on that one to check out (Slow Ride, Slow & Low, Rhymin & Stealin....). The Beastie Boys got so much range and can mix so many music genres. Amazing Live performances as well (Sabotage at the Letterman Show pops up....)

Thanks to your channel i now say ‘Forty!’ to myself all the time as i walk around the house. Shits hilarious! Love the channel
I saw them live in 95, still one of the best shows I’ve seen. I’ve been to a lot of concerts, they are pure entertainment and energy.
Love old school Beastie Boys! 🔥🔥🔥💙💙💙💥💥💥
I saw them at RED ROCKS in 1987...they opened for RUN DMC ... the MOST fun at a concert , I've ever had!
a couple of years later Anthrax and Public Enemy "bring the noise". Combining metal and rap! NYC area had so much talent!
We only like Rock! 🙄
The Beastie Boys revolutionized Hip Hop and STILL rocked harder than most “Rock“ bands .
They were great in both genres!
They were the masters of many things including irony. ❤ RIP Adam (MCA)
Btw I’m a member and I listen to pretty much everything. ❤
❤All Beastie Boys videos are fun. They were such a great live band. They really had that same sense of fun that The Beatles had. The Beatles were in their own movies because they were fun to watch.

Beastie Boys are the GOATS of original Hip hop
Saw them live in Glasgow Barrowlands in the 80s..it was wild!!
Well dag gone BP😂😂This 65 year old Music Nut loves the Beasties,loves all genres, classically trained musician, appreciates all music.

GOOD review👍
As a 12-year-old, it made me want to go to NYC and be a rapper...but I'm from the Midwest and joined the AF instead, hahaha. 40!
I was 12 when this was out too.
Lol
Hi! I’m a rocker at heart, but I was a teenager when the Beastie Boys came out. Intergalactic is my favourite Beastie song. Enjoy! ✌🏻🇨🇦✌🏻
They were a hard-core punk band before the became one of the greatest hip hop group of all time
I was about to bring up the same thing.
And sooo good!
HOLY SNAPPERS!
I like Batman, I like Crass
Robin's got a new bus pass
Holy piss, holy crappers
Jill Kuniff, holy snappers!!
I still have the album Pollywog stew
I seen them in the original NYC Fresh festival in 1986 in Jacksonville, Florida they were amazing live that was one bad a$$ concert RUN DMC. Beastie Boys, Fat Boys, Doug E Fresh, UTFO, Roxanne Shante, and tons of B=Boys and Breakers from NYC
I'm a metalhead but always loved various kinds of music including rap..the OG s
Lovvve me some Beastie Boys !!!! They were indeed, ahead of their time !!!
Oh man BP, freakin everyone had this album when it came out (along with George Thorogood). You could hear it playing in nearly every car cruisin the strip on the weekends. 🔥😎🤘🔥
I've always listened to all kinds of music, and I had a special hiding place for the dirtier stuff my mom didn't want me to listen to...NWA, 2 Live Crew, George Carlin, Richard Pryor 😂 the Beatie boys were in there...this brings back so many wonderful memories, thank you for the reactions!

I got to see them in a gutted-out Kroger in Houston. It was called the unicorn. They played their own instruments. It was a dope show.
As a middle schooler who was a headbanger, I loved this song. My husband, who grew up on rap and hip hop and basically from the hood, told me in my FORTIES that this video was making fun of us.

They were briefly in the movie Krush Groove. Also Ad-Rock (Adam Horovitz) starred in the movie Lost Angels
Funny thing is back then I was starting to listen to hair metal but I loved The Beastie Boys! They were awesome and there is a documentary on Apple+ that they made about themselves and it was the two remaining members on stage talking about their start until the end.
My favorite Beastie Boys song
I always loved those metal/rock and hip hop crossovers you mentioned at the end. They felt like worlds coming together.
Kerry King from Salyer on guitar.
They were both on the same label at the time.
SLAYER!!!!!😂
Before License to Ill came out. the Beasties were part of the NYC hardcore punk scene.
Brooklyn was home to L'amour one of the most famous rock clubs of the1980s, this video reminds me of that club.

This Beastie Boys song was always a great cross over to bring both crowds together back in Holland where I'm from
I love this tune! Killer lics, insane bass and K.K. on the guitar was epic. They have move creative blood flowing through there brains than most combined. And they are ivy league college, maybe Harvard and u can tell with the way they produce music. Plse do 3 mcs and a dj, another epic video song
Ah the good old VW logo badge on a big chain. I remember that while i had my first car (VW Rabbit) the badges disappeared from a lot of VWs. Those were the 80s. 👍
first concert i ever went to beastie boys/ run dmc think it was the summer of '87
Really the first and the best to integrate hip hop and rock.
Sugar hill gang was one of the original hip hop we had basement dance parties to back in early 80s
I was in sixth grade when this album came out. I wore this tape out, had to buy it again on CD. They opened for Madonna, I wanted to see them so bad. Saw them live a few times in the 90s.
they opened for Run Dmc at MSG on together forever tour. Then came back and did this with Run DMC as the encore! Chairs flying it was off the chain!
any music is good music, as long as its written, recorded and produced well. music is energy and emotion. as with all art, it doesn't appeal to everyone. thanks for bringing back the music i grew up with. i love seeing younger generations experiencing the music that shaped their generation's music
They have so many bangers 🔥
Growing up in NYC, this was an anthem!
One of my favorite songs !
I've always liked them!
Kerry King from SLAYER was doing the guitar solo!! 🤘🏻🤘🏻
They're SO MUCH FUN! That License to Ill was on repeat for weeks in my car.
Good music exists in all genres. Keep being awesome!
I saw that look. Yes that was Russell Simmons and the line is "Our managers crazy he always smokes dust he's got his own room at the back of the bus" Russe;; was know to smoke a lot of "dust" PCP back them. Russell is hiding in Indo now.
License to Ill was an album that crossed all genres/lines etc for music. Everyone listened to something from it at one point back in the day
Shadrach is a must listen / must see video. One of their best songs!
Back in the 80's, here in L.A. my friends and I would sing "No Sleep Till Tommy's... which was the hamburger joint you would go at 2am after the dance clubs.
The shows were absolute mayhem. Caught them a few times in Philly. The craziest show was when Murphys Law and Public Enemy were the opening bands.
I saw them at the Drum in Austin, TX. It's not there anymore. They had a dog show as the warm up act. My nephew liked them so I took him to watch. They were past their prime, We did not stick around to watch the end.
The guitarist in the video and also preformed the solo, is Kerry King of Slayer...lol. Run DMC and Beastie Boys mixed a lot of rock elements into their stuff. Also, Beastie Boys started out as a punk band, and that helped influence their particular style.
DAVID FROM ENGLAND HERE SAW THESE AT THE BRIGHTON CENTRE BACK IN 1987 FEKIN AWESOME AND I'D DO IT ALL AGAIN AT THE AGE OF 56 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂❤
No walls in music in the 80's we liked it all
More Beastie Boys rabbit hole please!!! Great video!
MORE BEASTIE BOYS! Always.
I always suggest So What’Cha Want as a B Boys intro track for Gen Z, btw. Might be worth bringing that up here.
Kerry King is what gave them cred with metal heads!
Check out "Brass Monkey" by them. Also the guitar solo was by Kerry King, the guitarist for Slayer.
Check out "she's on it" , "open letter to NYC" , "high plains drifter" and "skills that pay da bills" those are my favorites
Sampling is stealing was addressed back in the 80s by Public Enemy in the song 'Caught, can I get a witness'. Well worth checking it out if you don't know it.

Those of us that prefer the commons have no problem with sampling (we dislike the continual copyright extensions with a passion - it's not for no reason they are called the Mickey Mouse laws as every time Mickey Mouse is about to go out of copyright Disney lobby to get the copyright period extended). Art should be allowed to pass into the commons and be free to use and modify and to be turned into new art. Passed down by bards and communities - not controlled by corporates. Tis always amusing when anti-establishment people support copyright over the commons.
Sampling is one thing, then there’s Jelly Roll and MGK’s “Lonely Road”, Pat Finnerty nailed it.
86 I did my after military service USA holiday. 1st stop NY 43rd Street Sloan House YMCA, Run DMC across the street in Madison Square Garden - fire! Later Boston, drive away car to Las Vegas, San Francisco, LA. 86 was an excellent year!
Adrock from Beastie Boys has been in a few movies and the whole group had a cameo in Krush Groove.
Of course he looked like Run DMC, That was the Quintessential "rap guy" look.
This also came out at the same as Run DMC partnered with Aerosmith for Walk This Way. These pieces of rap/rock fusion led the way to bands like In iving color and later Linkin Park
sampling is an art......shout out South Africa bru
A song with a good.beat.
The guitarist on the solo was Kerry King from The band Slayer. You should do a video on them. Something off of South of heaven album
They were definitely pioneers. Not only because they were white in a black man’s game. Their style was groundbreaking. Influencers of generations to come.
Great reaction. Love me some Beastie Boys. 💯💯💯💯🤘🤘🤘🤘😎😎😎
I ❤🔥❤🔥 their crazy sense of fun on top of the really catchy songs. Sabotage is also fantastic😎
No! Your chanel is Super! There is so ecclectic music! You open people mind!
It brings back memories🙈🙈🙈🙈🙈🙈🙈🙈😉👍
i probably know every word on this album, its so good
Beastie Boys has always had this rock/rap vibe. Linkin Park, Cypress Hill and Limp Bizkit are also in the same vein, but I can't recall anyone doing this before the Beastie Boys.
