Slayer had just signed to Def Jam. Public Enemy's "It Takes a Nation of Millions to Hold Us Back" has several songs with looped Slayer riffs from "Reign in Blood," too. Good stuff!
"Give us three microphones. Put us in front of the crowd, and shut up, jerk." This is *HAND DOWN* THE *GREATEST* DESCRIPTION OF THE BEASTIE BOYS I'VE EVER HEARD!!!!!!!

Me and all my girlfriends/coworkers rolled around San Jose CA in a low rider blasting Paul’s Boutique. We knew every word to every song. I still know most of the lyrics.
I am not a BB hater by any means, I liked all of thier music throughout thier career, I have the highest respect for them as people but I only F with LTI lol
This was THEE SHIT when I was around 18. Still know all the words to their songs, "singing" along and pulling out grey hairs I can see on my head at the same time. 🤨😞😞 Getting older sucks. Atleast the music stil makes me feel young 😊😊
I was 14 in 86'/87' and this album was ridiculously popular. Everyone was eagerly anticipating their next album, 1989 Paul's Boutique, and that one just hit it out of the park at well. These mofo's are legends.
It’s ok, we ladies have forgiven the bestie boys long ago and we forgive you too! Not to mention I wasn’t even wise enough to be offended when this came out. If I had I’d also have been deprived of a lot of my favorite music!
They also put out an instrumental jazz record. I didn't know this until I picked it up one day and listened to it. Quite surprising! Watch the live videos to see them playing their instruments.
Run DMC was also using guitars in their music too. Many have tried to do this through the years, some do it better than others....Beasties and Run DMC had this mastered, Limp Bizkit was decent and kid rock...not so much lol
The guitar player is Kerry King. He's the guitarist for Slayer. (He played with many other bands including Megadeth, but only as a guest or he filled in for someone) No sleep til Brooklyn is a parody kind of video on the Album "No Sleep til Hammersmith" by Motorhead RIP Lemmy
I'm so glad you're digging Beastie Boys. You realize the span of years you've reacted to from them? Freakin' decades. But I, personally, would LOVE to see you react to Girls! Please, please, thank you!!
They started as a punk rock band. They can play their own instruments, and continued to do so throughout their career. Including still playing the occasional punk song in their concerts and on their albums.
The guitar solo is by Kerry King from the LEGENDARY Metal band SLAYER. Check out their song "Reign in Blood". This was the Beastie Boys first and only record with producer Rick Rubi and it was a bit of a joke, but it also make tons of catchy songs, but on their subsequent records they began playing more and more of their own instruments. I'm sure others have already told you, but Adam Yauch (MCA), passed away several years ago in 2012, and the band has essentially retired. R.I.P. MCA.
Kudos on the sweatshirts! My husband got his "I am not an idiot" hoodie today and he loves it!!! The quality is great and looks awesome on him. If yall other people haven't gotten i would suggest doing it! Mr. Video you just made me wife of the month!
Real artists are good at multiple things and/or styles imo. Beastie Boys showed us they're real artists and not one trick p(h)onies. They're creative and funny, and they did whatever the fuck they wanted!
As a noble samurai I can fully respect this band for their success and their creativity on the so called 'battlefield' of music. Have a good day and stay honorable.🍣🥡🍜
Did we listen to this song in the day in Brooklyn? HELL YES!! FUGHETTABOUTIT!!!!! "AN OPEN LETTER TO NYC" is a song they did after 9-11; it's a love letter to NYC, really; their most mature sound; you may want to check it out!!!
This came out after "Fight for your right" another one I bought on 12" can't wait till you do these bangers... "Hold it now, hit it" & "it's the new style" & "It's time to get ill" ❤️👍🇬🇧
Another HILARIOUSLY ENJOYABLE react video, man! Back then, for the "masses", it was an "Either, Or" situation- you were supposed to only either like Hiphop OR Metal. Luckily, some of us liked both. Beasties' background in Hardcore Punkrock meant that they were a HUGE catalyst to genres crossing over. Thankfully, we still see their efforts to this day.
Beasties definitely know how to play instruments. They used to be a punk band prior to falling into rap. If you want further proof of their musical capabilities, look no further than their SNL appearance with Elvis Costello where they ironically stop playing "Sabotage" to sing "Radio, Radio" with Costello while rocking out on the guitar, drums, and organ.
I also want to ad that I appreciate your videos! It’s been a great escape from this crazy world. You have reminded me how much I love the beastie boys and other groups you have checked out! I love your personality! Thank you keep them coming!
They actually used to be a punk/rock band and originally had another member of the band. They actually thank him in there Hall of Fame speech. Yes they can play. I remeber in 2004 seeing them in concert and for sabotage they came out on a sliding riser playing the guitars and drums. What a night and great memories. I got so high that night.
Yes, Mr. Video the Beastie Boys play all their own instruments in their songs and were originally a punk rock band in early 80's before becoming what we know today. Watch their music video "Gratitude", just one great example, and also the song "Sabotage" live on David Letterman is pretty nuts.
I think they said their manager smokes dust & has a room at the back of the bus. The first album was raunchier & on the 3rd album MCA made an apology in a song & said he had respect for women.
They don't play the guitars on this track and it's meant to be a joke for the video, but they do play instruments on a lot of their songs. Good example would be a live Sabotage performance or the video for Gratitude.
Mr.Video Beastie Boys went diamond Licensed to Ill, and they are Jewish they was rich they didn't have to rap, they did it because they loved it ,Beastie Boys also introduced LL Cool J To the Hip Hop community, They was hated in the early 80s because this style of music Rap Rock
I am having a blast watching a Beastie Boys reaction marathon here in Philly while getting snowed in. Much love Mr. Video. Brass Monkey has got to be next!!!
Thank you so much for going down the Beastie Boys rabbit hole! I'm enjoying it so much I've been battling cancer and I've gotten pretty ill and they live in me now about 6 to 8 months😳. Thank you for always making me smile!🤗❤🎶🎵🤗🤗❤
I've had a huge crush on Ad-Rock (though for the longest time I thought he was Mike D) pretty much since I was a kid (I don't know why) this is fun! I love the Beastie Boys.
Mr video back in the day when these cats were entertaining us as teenagers...I forgot and left this cassette tape in my car along with 2 live crew!! Needless to say my southern daddy whipped my butt! Hahaha ♥️Tennessee
Thats Kerry King from slayer playing guitar.
Damn... you beat me to it.. lol
Slayer had just signed to Def Jam.
Public Enemy's "It Takes a Nation of Millions to Hold Us Back" has several songs with looped Slayer riffs from "Reign in Blood," too. Good stuff!
Slayer was the first rock band ever signed by Def Jam. Smart move.
@@dard4642 Public Enemy sampling slayer made for some of the heaviest shit ever too hahaha!

"Give us three microphones. Put us in front of the crowd, and shut up, jerk."
This is *HAND DOWN* THE *GREATEST* DESCRIPTION OF THE BEASTIE BOYS I'VE EVER HEARD!!!!!!!
R.I.P. MCA Adam Yauch. Such great talent and an amazing humanitarian
Mca had one of the best rap voices of all time
I was gonna say not to tell him. Shit hurt when I found out.
Also AKA Nathanial Hörnblowér great director! 🙌
My friend got that same cancer right before Adam passed, but luckily my friend made it through.
#RIPMCA ❤️❤️❤️
80’s rap. Can’t beat it. Was so much fun and everyone had great song s and beats. So glad I grew up in the 80’s. Great teenage years
Hell Yes !!!!
found the 2 self obsessed boomers lol
yall aint got anything else so the only thing you're genuinely proud of is the year you happened to be born
sad af. have fun with that 78 iq
I miss 80s hip-hop. When it had energy. IDK when did they decide hip-hop was for smoking weed, but that's how it feels since the late 90s.
Yes!!
Beastie Boys - "Hold it Now, Hit it"
I think that's the first time I saw them. Was that their first song?
@@antoinettelopes it was on their first album but fight for your right was the first video from the album
It's my joint it's my, hold it now
It's my rhyme
I remember my brothers coming to pick me up from the skating rink, in my mom's car, windows down and Beastie Boys blaring! Good times......
Me and all my girlfriends/coworkers rolled around San Jose CA in a low rider blasting Paul’s Boutique. We knew every word to every song. I still know most of the lyrics.
The 'licenced to ill' album is a box of dynamite...banger after banger. You feel this in 2021 but imagine the impact this had in the mid 1980s.
Every album is banger after banger from the BBoys.
I am not a BB hater by any means, I liked all of thier music throughout thier career, I have the highest respect for them as people but I only F with LTI lol

" Rhymin and Stealin." You won't regret it.
My favorite song from the Beastie Boys has always been Brass Monkey and this song. Please do Brass Monkey next.
“Brass Monkey... that funky monkey....🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
There's a really great live version recorded at MSG. I highly recommend
Mine too! Love the Beastie Boys soooo much!
Yay-yah!!!
When Brass Monkey was going out of production, we bought an entire pallet of it.
1986 New York. MTV everyday after school we would blast this on the TV...
“She’s crafty” next, plz Mr. V- we at least gotta get through the License to iLL album- 🔥🔥🔥🥰❤️
Yes Kimberlini! A must! And he has to do BRASS MONKEY :)
I agree! She's Crafty is a must. 😁
Their first and, to me their best album. Well I had the tape 😊💕🇺🇸
A must do! He will love it!
@@buffysummers5080 absolutely agree! Me too!
This is when cancel culture didn’t exist. Only expression. Only art. It was glorious
kerry king of Slayer playing lead gave cred to the hardcore kids
Licensed to Ill and Reign in Blood (both produced by you know who) also came out around the same time. Putting them together made sense .
💯❣️🤘
But they do play instruments too
(MCA is my favorite too)
It’s ok, we ladies have forgiven the bestie boys long ago and we forgive you too! Not to mention I wasn’t even wise enough to be offended when this came out. If I had I’d also have been deprived of a lot of my favorite music!
Beastie Boys are the first band that mix hop with rock.
They play instruments. They were playing punk before they discovered hip hop.
Kerry King, guitarist for Slayer did the solo. Slayer and Beastie Boys had the same producer back in the day.
is it possible to find them in their punk era?
look up "Some Old Bullshit" and "Pollywog Stew" as those were the punk rock albums from the very early 80s.
@@PaedeNH here they are on public access in 1984.

We lost Adam Yauch - aka MCA - about a decade ago. He also directed many of the Beastie Boys' videos.
Beastie Boys stayed relevant for decades cause they were always willing to grow😁
Honestly, the 80’s would not have been the same with these guys, especially MTV. Always loved these guys being different and true to themselves.🎤🎤🎤🎧😎🔥
They started as a rock band so yes they can play.
Punk Rock

You should watch them play Sabotage live
"Hey Ladies" needs to be the next reaction. It's a classic, and yet it has almost no reaction videos for it.
The guitar player is Kerry King. He's the guitarist for Slayer. (He played with many other bands including Megadeth, but only as a guest or he filled in for someone) No sleep til Brooklyn is a parody kind of video on the Album "No Sleep til Hammersmith" by Motorhead RIP Lemmy

“Tough Guy” from Ill Communication is straight from their punk days.
There’s a Cd Called “ Some Old Bull… “ only with punk/hardcore songs
“Paul Revere” to me is the best Beastie Song!
I did that one
I love that song.
True story😆
I have a feeling you're saving the best for last: Hey Ladies! 😂
I hope so lol
Girls is up there too though
What's hilarious is the boys started out as a speed metal band.

Check out "fight for your right to party" from the beastie boys
"Are they allowed to say that?"
Yes. Because they fought for the right. 😉
🤣
Clicked "like" before the video began!
Same !
Me too 😊
Yep. 👍
I always do!!
you should! I did too
Kudos on the sweatshirts! My husband got his "I am not an idiot" hoodie today and he loves it!!! The quality is great and looks awesome on him. If yall other people haven't gotten i would suggest doing it! Mr. Video you just made me wife of the month!
Gotta do the song that made them famous, "FIGHT FOR YOUR RIGHT TO PARTY"
Of course!
The manager “crazy always smoked dust” was Russell Simmons yes that Russell Simmons
You're hooked on Beastie boys.
Who isn’t ?!? 🔥
There's a good reason for that...
Born and bred in Brooklyn in the USA.
Aren’t we all?
@@m3li55a5indeed
They're pioneers
Real artists are good at multiple things and/or styles imo. Beastie Boys showed us they're real artists and not one trick p(h)onies. They're creative and funny, and they did whatever the fuck they wanted!
They were such a big part of my childhood. Love them still all these years later

Arigato.
SMH *CRINGE*
The Beastie Boys played instruments, wrote and played live and actually had talent! Lots of fun watching them!❤❤❤
RIP MCA 🙏
Gone to soon.
💕💕💕💕💕
That was Kerry King of Slayer on guitar. Mr Video definitely needs to do some more Slayer!
You gotta do "She's Crafty" next you will laugh and you will cry.
Definitely! And also check out She's on it
MCA is off in another realm rocking it out. such an amazing human being.
Did we listen to this song in the day in Brooklyn? HELL YES!! FUGHETTABOUTIT!!!!!

Another plane, another train, another bottle on the brain. Another girl, another fight, another drive all night.
I wonder who is on the guitar?
That my friend is Kerry King of Slayer. Legendary production from
the one and only Rick Rubin
"Our manager's crazy; he always smokes dust."
YES !!!!!! Thank-you Leo , I knew you'd love this one. ( Kerry King, guitarist for Slayer, played the guitar riffs and solo on this song ).
The guitar solo is played by Kerry King, from Slayer.
Someone send him a lighter...
Yes they do play instruments.
But.....he likes the bbq lighter😃😃
I asked how to send one... got a guitar lighter for him but don’t know how to get it there 😂
PO Box is in the description y'all
Yeah, their early stuff like this was more about partying and girls and then they became much more socially conscious as they went on.
Beasties definitely know how to play instruments. They used to be a punk band prior to falling into rap. If you want further proof of their musical capabilities, look no further than their SNL appearance with Elvis Costello where they ironically stop playing "Sabotage" to sing "Radio, Radio" with Costello while rocking out on the guitar, drums, and organ.
“Girls” will make you crack up too
Check out Beck. He had some big hits with Loser, Where It’s At, Devil’s Haircut, Sexx Laws.
YESSSSS
I believe that the guitarist for Slayer did the guitar work for both this song and You Gotta Fight.
Remember they were a punk band before and can play musical instruments.
