Beastie Boys - Alive

[@SunDevil1984]

Probably the Beastie Boys' most underrated song IMO. "If you learn to love you're in for a surprise. It could be nice to be alive"

[@riotgrrrl8807]

Yes, so beautiful. I read about their whole evolution lately and am really touched by that.

[@lucasm3879]

Yeah probably it's under rated because it wasn't on a proper album, it was released as a stand alone single with their anthology album

[@UXASSAKY]

Over rated is nothing

[@babywilson4516]

i agree

[@TheMixCurator]

The remixes on the Beastie Boy Anthology DVD are really good as well. One of the first DVDs you could select which audio track went to the video. Think each track had at least 3 remixes. If they didn't have that, you could watch Shake Your Rump on any of the cameras they shot the video on 🙌

Well. I Know one thing that don't care who or what you are. Cancer sure sucks, but usually you can't do anything except accepting that you'll die and die. Very simple very cruel and never pick the comfortable time to come. A major prick but still a part of the show eh...(in my case he came for a visit 6 times so far, so I'm kinda an expert in the ways you can die from that unholy shit. Not sure but hope MCA made it fast and painless. RIP*

[@cheriedebreuil]

[@Covid-me1xf]

great video idea but sadly noticable green room shooting

[@burntumbrage6868]

And how they were truly friends till the last. Loved these boys from License to Ill to the Hall of Fame induction when MCA was in the hospital cheering them on 😢. God bless the Beasties and their fans; old like me and all the young people discovering them now. Good time music and positivity-needed then, needed Now. 🙏🏼💗

[@captainblacklung4900]

I know this is an old comment, but if you go read their book "Beastie Boys Book" AdRock talks about exactly this. MCA was also an aspiring filmmaker, so sometimes they would let him get creative with the videos, which is how we got the video for Sabotage, Ch-Check it Out, Make Some Noise, etc. But most of the time they would just go out with a camera or two and shoot videos and he talked about having a blast making all of those. Just in general, when they're doing anything, recording, doing a live show, making a video, you can tell they're having fun, and I think that's what makes the Beasties such a lovable group. They're having fun, and it makes you want to have fun with them! I can't think of a single song in their entire discography, even with like, Aglio e Olio and early early CookyPuss stuff, that makes me sad. Sure, I get sad listening occasionally because god damn do I miss Yauch, but their music is just always fun, and it bleeds through to the listener when played. It's hard to believe that these 3 punk kids from NYC would change music history and shape Hip Hop culture into what it is today.

[@Left-Earth]

_Lest we forget: Country Mike_ In 1999 the Beastie Boys released Hello Nasty a year earlier and netted themselves two Grammy awards for the effort. One of the guys, Mike D, had just formed his own record label named Grand Royal Records. It was almost Christmas. Of course Mike’s first order of business was to record a full country album with his band and press it to vinyl, a tongue-in-cheek present for family and friends. Most reports claim that around 300 original copies were pressed, making Country Mike’s Greatest Hits the rarest Beastie Boys records out there - far more scarce than even their numbered 2000 anthology The Sounds Of Science or various special editions released over the years. When news of the album had leaked and Mike D began to be questioned about its existence, he manifested various tales about Country Mike, his background, and even his own sanity. Sometimes Country Mike was a figment of Mike D’s imagination, sometimes he was an old friend from a troubled upbringing, other times he didn’t exist at all. After the initial 1999 release a few bootlegs were pressed, so be wary if you catch a copy online.

[@atomictraveller]

in th erly 90s used to hang at KXCI tucson. there was a cd. pauls boutique except all the raps were in finnish. the cover had dudes in a log cabin studio wearing toques. dude said they reproduced teh backing track from teh samples but i doubt it, sounded like teh original. so. i think that is probably about the rarest beastie pressing. wait until you homeys is all stoneded then put that disc on.

[@harleykwin4680]

Doesn't sound very promising
