Beastie Boys - Time For Livin'

[@brendendavis8596]

Beastie boys were epitome of punk rock even in hip hop form

[@melissasullivan1378]

I always liked how they could go from rap to rock and still make it sound good

[@shruggzdastr8-facedclown]

They started out as a punk band before they transitioned to hip-hop

[@dexdexter8489]

Back in the day buying 'check your head' for the rap songs and getting my brain smashed to this hardcore track. I can't get enough of it yet

[@GuillermoPaulman]

Same haha. I'm a hip hop head but I always go crazy when this track starts.

[@antimurphy8212]

This is more punk than hard-core truthfully

[@jasonjohnson4028]

BB were punk before punk was punk.

[@DR-xt9ux]

@@jasonjohnson4028 I still have the old WNYU college Cassette tapes I would record off the radio from 1982 the DJ would play BB and announce where they would be doing a show in the city it would be a line up of punk bands like Reagan youth would play gigs with them and they were all just kids in punk bands back then

[@carlosmarx2380]

@@antimurphy8212 this is straight up classic HC lol. Punk was always a little more artsy, at least before the 90s.

[@erikgonzales3178]

It's crazy these are the same people who made Paul Revere and The New Style. Such talented and versatile artists and they were my whole childhood. RIP MCA

[@metalhurlant5408]

Yeah, definitely. When I saw them, they did their rap thing and then the stage was turned around and as it turned toward the crowd they were all wearing smoking jackets and played their instrumental songs and switched instruments in between some songs. Then after people thought the show was over, they went and played one last song in the “shitty seats”, very talented musicians who play at least 3 different styles but never get credit for being as talented as they are.

[@veritasinvicta8128]

Only Beck Hanson is more diversified in contemporary music IMHO. But what'd they do with the vocals for this song?

[@TrevorHamberger]

for real. It took me like 9 times trying to listen to the beastie boys before I figured out how dope they are. Like I tried to like them like 8 other times. the 9th time it clicked. All like a year apart in my attempts

Beasties could've just as easily been huge in the skate punk scene. Great musicians.

[@kristoferbatdorf2873]

You do know they were a punk band before they were doin hip hop.

[@guyincognito.]

They were.

[@inlukk]

They were. Signed- an old skate punk.

@@kristoferbatdorf2873that’s not a popular opinion. Punk beastie boys is underground and not mainstream like the rap.

Check your head will always be one of my favorite albums. Remember listening to it with a friend when we were goofing around trippin balls

[@ChrisLambe-x3s]

Pat Duffy back lip in the rain is gold ❤

[@alexandras.3782]

One of my favorite Beastie songs as a teenager ❤ SOULFIRE! AND WE AIN'T GOT NO WATER!

[@JosephineKilgannon]

So underrated as a song and a video. I love that they kept on playing this live till the end

[@veritasinvicta8128]

Agreed, Check Your Head is still my favorite album from them. But where did the vocals go for this song?

[@zeitok8]

one of my favorite Beastie songs, like a youth anthem

[@HipHopHead82]

Greatest band of all time!

[@Rowenzz]

the beastie boys changed my life

[@rodimusrhyme2618]

Ditto homie.

[@jamesascher8147]

[@mortalgargoyle2260]

Jesus after years of listening to this track...still under appreciated judging from the views

[@blakesherman]

We are ready for all the unreleased tracks

[@PubeHairForestFire]

??????? What u mean, are they planning on releasing something sometime soon?

[@uadimwit]

This was on Check Your Head.

[@fortybelownj]

@@uadimwit he’s obviously talking about all the other unreleased punk tracks. Along the veins of Aglio e Olio. There’s more than those tracks. They jammed out a lot, early on.

[@lq9blzr]

My freshman year in HS. I had one of the best squad of friends, I'll never forget 1992.

[@rottenpeaches8658]

one of my biggest regret in life is that I never had the chance to see them live :(

[@LurgsHowToGuides]

Rotten peaches I did in 87 with Run DMC, epic. Wish I still had the ticket stub, dunno where that went

[@aaronl22]

Check out their concert movie - Awesome I Fucking Shot That! :) My silver lining to myself

[@bullrogg77]

I saw them in Paris 12 years ago , best gig ever for me.

[@DodoDiaz]

Saw them twice in Stockholm. ’99 and ’04. Good times...

[@BubblesBubbles]

1994 Lollapalooza and 1998 Cleveland Convocation Center

[@jedediah7772]

Whoever edited the video/ skate stuff with the music, especially at 1:20, that's awesome, the China crash when he reversed the flip, genius

[@Gzuz12]

This is probably the best video for Time For Livin' and I am fuming that the vocals are gone. Can someone f'n fix this or post another of this solid video with vocals PLEASE!!!

[@fireice2.031]

The way the audio was mixed makes the vocals "dissapear" when listening with mono audio. Using (stereo sound) headphones or a stereo speaker will fix

[@Ghostrider46286]

🖤💜🖤 Love it that they included Skateboarding Scenes from the best Skateboard Video --> Questionable 🙌🏻

[@castle4610]

This joint is so underappreciated!

[@scottjohnson8316]

What a song so simple but so driven and great great street skating

[@parr40]

This track is still hard Af....

[@veritasinvicta8128]

And still better with the actual vocals.

[@monos70]

[@veritasinvicta8128]

Even better with the vocals. Don't know why they removed the singing.

[@matthewskelton6929]

Love the clips from PLAN B QUESTIONABLE video!!

[@B3D5X]

Why does no version of this online have any vocals anymore? It’s killing me! Trying to show my buddy and I thought I was going crazy.

[@alden138]

The lyrics are off of the prime version too !

[@B3D5X]

alden138 holy crap. Listening on a different TV and I hear them again! Someone on a forum years ago said the vocals were mixed mono and phased in such a way that on certain devices that it cancels out the frequency.

[@Aaron-vr4vv]

Hahaha me too man lol

[@Gzuz12]

They remastered it and you need to be listening in true stereo to get the vocals. Actually really pisses me off because I love this track and my phone is mono

[@veritasinvicta8128]

I cannot find any. Spotify is the same. You can see me all over this comment section asking the same question. Glad I'm not the only one who has noticed.

[@michaelfraser3724]

Thanks all creator for wanting to experience yourself through the beasties boys

[@Rob-vc6xw]

This video is directed by Oscar winning filmmaker Jackass creator, and influential skateboard video director Spike Jonze

[@ExplorationUnexplained]

People talking about Billie whatserface having "deep" music videos......hell naw THIS is deep, Rodney Mullen's Casper Slide is deep... Hell yeah

[@nevergrowingupnevergetting7352]

Funny reading all the comments about no lyrics on your phones lol. The advantage of being old and having original cds to convert to any format you like. If you lose access to the internet you lose all your music, I won't. Only here for the vid. Good times! Happy daze!

Same here, I was 10. One of the first bands I latched onto as my “own” music.I remember talking about them in 4th grade.

[@PanterACollector]

To all you guys commenting this song is punk af and so on and so forth... This song isn’t by the BB, it’s originally composed by New York’s hxc band “Frontline”, formed in 1981 and whose members would move on to form Bad Brains or Shelter among others. Beastie Boys did change the lyrics though... And yes, this version is way better.

[@WapellaSean]

.....lyrics by Sly Stone.

[@djflite]

Cool story Bro.

Well BB also started as a punk band.
