[@lgd1974]

It's awesome to see Kate Schellenbach on drums! Rare footage of her as one of the founding members of The Beastie Boys. She played with them from 81 to 84. Her punk cred is solid.

[@olsh666]

And her band Luscious Jackson is really great

[@LetsGoMetsGo33]

She was also in Lunachicks for a second. Filling in for Becky Wreck.

[@LetsGoMetsGo33]

It’s so weird seeing Mike as the leader and MCA an ad rock not being equal leaded, lol. They both kind of seem shy here, which is crazy. Mike seems pretty much like a normal punk front man.

I remember going to see the Butthole Surfers in '87. I was flying high on acid and they played something close to this song. I had an acid flashback watching this, because of this exact song. It was mainly the constant drumming over and over near the middle of their set... Shit got real for a sec and I didn't know if I had been poisoned or if I was having a stroke. Kids: Don't do too much acid.

[@FISHMUSIC4U]

I'm happy ur over that flashback....lol

[@DanielDanger420]

burntheearth666 Ah, the voice of jealousy. "Sure you did...." Ha!

[@DanielDanger420]

Well, Doc. I do suffer from PTSD. Anything else? I also ate my fair share of LSD. I also shouldn't have to explain myself to these online PhD wannabes.

[@DanielDanger420]

burntheearth666 Wow. You're so cool. I wish I could be like you. All the time. Cause then I'd be so cool all goddamn day. Making cool comments and cool quips to people on KZbin like I'm some sort of smart cool guy. Fuck, you're so damn cool. Infact. I'm going to change my whole internet persona to yours. With such a cool name, too. Like burntheplanet666 like some sort of wanna be Satanist. Damn, that would be so cool.

[@Breakbeats92.5]

If you would have told me that in 2 years after this was recorded that these 3 cats would have the best selling rap record in America I would have laughed myself into a coma. On November 15, 1986 "Licence To Ill," became one of the fastest selling LP's. It would go on to sell 9 million copies in the States alone.

[@UberSchluh]

And if you told me that in a decade the Butthole Surfers would break into the mainstream with a single hit that stayed at Number 1 for the majority of the year, I too would laugh

[@Breakbeats92.5]

[@javi__...]

in the 90s if you would have told me will smith would be a blockbuster movie star i would have said no shit, he already is.

[@tomsenft7434]

I laughed myself into a comma and been dead ever since. THAT'S PUNK ROCK!

[@TMundohere]

Music Power yes, the Beastie boys were a hardcore punk band that used to put down the guitars and start to mc at the end of their shows as a joke, but they said the crowd liked the rap more than the hardcore so they decided to do that instead.

[@calaverasgrande]

The original version of the Surfers with dual drummers was the best.

[@Goodboi_Dindu]

Rip teresa

[@mrnigh]

Oh yes , they were tearing it up !

[@Nilbog-Hunter]

Teresa forever

[@damonlevine]

The drummer is Kate Schellenbach who would go on to found the quite brilliant band Luscious Jackson in the '90s.

[@zoefullard5329]

[@goblinzits]

That early Surfers footage is amazing, they proved that massive amounts of psychedelic drugs and punk rock were a great combination. It's nice knowing that Hank Wood & The Hammerheads are carrying the torch with the two manic drummer setup.

[@JohnSmith-fq3rg]

The Melvins did it for a while too, some great songs came out of that arrangment, "A History of Bad Men" being a downright legendary example of dual drummers done right.

[@terrypussypower]

R.I.P. MCA.

[@Djarra]

According to Horowitz he and Rick Rubin were about to be pounced on by skinheads with machetes in the street when Gibby pulled up with about ten people in a car and the bad guys ran off. This of a world with out Rick Rubin's contributions to music and then thank Gibby Haynes.

[@kucftbueouy9902]

what a shame...

[@Sam-go3mb]

So Gibby Haynes is partly to blame for all those brickwalled albums.

[@Djarra]

@sabbracadabra Just luck that the first car that pulled up was him. It's in the 'Beastie Boys Book'

[@jenniferbaldwin7869]

Damn, this is like one year before we met the Beasties, when they opened up for Madonna. And seconds before I fell in love with all things B.S..

[@GMDark]

Run DMC was the other opening band, what a great line-up & show DMC, BBoys & Madonna.

[@Thor-Orion]

If it happened to be Beastliest Bodega, Running DMCA Strike, and Grey Flag or maybe The Clash or Ramones or Dead Kennedies or something else like that the show would be like my favorite concert I had ever heard of.

[@andrewsmail8307]

Got huge respect for the BHS. Their Hairway and Locust albums are pure class, USSA and Kuntz crack me up.

[@Thor-Orion]

Independent Worm Saloon is the most underrated album they ever made. And I like almost all of their records, honestly.

[@patrickfoster4586]

Surfers rule.

[@defbird]

Best live footage I’ve seen in a while of early Buttholes. Thank You

[@LaGuerre19]

gibby with all those wardrobe changes, and not a single malfunction. perfect, each time. awesome show, great job

[@Michael-uq4qi]

Holy Shit The Surfers were on fucking fire here - great video!

[@LetsGoMetsGo33]

'white shadow' islike post punk. they quickly moved on to early NYHC, then rap crossover, rock rap, hip hop... all before they were like 21. what a career!

[@GP-yc2it]

Cheetah Thunders. It was just punk. Post punk was stuff like Bauhaus.

[@LetsGoMetsGo33]

George Pomar It was also stuff like Gang of Four. It's a diverse category, but basically bands that arose in response to the '77 punk milieu, but went off in more angular or non-traditional rock directions. I've never heard the Beasties described that way, but that's how I hear this obscure song. This is not straight forward punk or hardcore, no "blitzkrieg bop" or "egg raid on mojo" here.

[@cardigansarecool]

Mike D. has said in interviews that in addition to hardcore they were really into bands like Gang of Four, ESG, The Slits, etc. You have to understand that back then things were not so regimented as they are now, a lot of these genres and categorizations are applied mainly in retrospect. I think that's the great thing about punk, it's an approach to creativity, not a specific sound. Gang of Four sounds nothing like the Sex Pistols, and the Sex Pistols sounds nothing like Talking Heads, and Talking Heads sound nothing like The Birthday Party, and The Birthday Party sound nothing like Minor Threat, etc, but they were all part of it.

[@jvladcliff4083]

To Parter is probably my favorite Butthole Surfers song, what a great performance.

[@setpunks13]

gotta luv the butts. a bunch of ex-accountants from Texas with horrible haircuts. But boy, did they make some great, weird sounds

[@darrenmartin2195]

I know, in another universe they rule the world.

[@GBsavant]

It’s obvious who the real visionary musicians were in this. Beasties look talentless in comparison

[@TitoMariategui]

@@GBsavant that's true, but Beasties proved how talented they were in the latter years.

[@GBsavant]

@@TitoMariategui i guess. I'm a beastie fan but I would never say they were ever at any point specially talented especially in comparison to BHS. Not hating, just stating what seems to be pretty objective reality if we take away our "influence" and "records sold" glasses. I'd say they're definitely visiionaries though, especially later on.

[@TitoMariategui]

@@GBsavant in order to release 5 straight legendary records, influence a whole generation, help to create a culture and be inducted in the RFHOF just to mention some achievements... You definitely gotta be a talented group I think.

[@GBsavant]

@@TitoMariategui we’re talking about talent in comparison to BHS…not records sold, modern influence etc. BHS are obviously better musicians. Are you saying that popularity = musician talent? I love the beastie boys, but they’re not on the same level in that regard. You’re arguing a different thing. Are you telling me drake is a better lyricist than Lupe fiasco? Also “legendary” is an amazingly subjective opinion. Is Floyd mayweather more legendary than sugar ray Robinson even though he has an undefeated record and higher paying wins?

that is the coolest and earliest shit Ive ever seen/ heard from the Bboys. I cant believe how tight and serious about the music they were at such an early age of talent development.

The Beastie Boys invented and refined modern hip-hop, coming on the heels of greats like Grand Master Flash. They reinvented that sound over the next three decades constantly remaining the freshest pioneers in a genre they practically define. Hall of Fame legends. And also, The Butthole Surfers are in this video.

[@dondobbs9302]

The Butthole Surfers invented and refined modern Psychedelic Punk Rock. Cumming on the heels of your mama's boots. They destroyed the sound over a bunch of time constantly FSU from the inside out,upside down. Remaining fresh until they rotted remains in a Geronimo skull F**k they impractically demonstrated. Hall of Knives legends. And also,A bunch of NYC Mooks with a good drummer.
