I NEVER KNEW!! | Beastie Boys - No Sleep Till Brooklyn (Official Music Video) REACTION!!

[@UltraViolent21]

Kerry King from slayer on the guitar

[@jmhaces]

The guitar player in this song is Kerry King from Slayer. The Beastie Boys, for obvious reasons, were friends with both the hip-hop acts like LL Cool J and Run DMC, as well as the metal bands of their generation like Anthrax and Slayer.

[@lsu1992]

I owned "Licensed to Ill" (I was 12 when it came out) before I bought "Reign In Blood"...both Def Jam/Rick Rueben masterpieces.

[@BuzzLiteworth]

Kerry king only played the guitar solo

[@mattjones4285]

They wrote this riding the train back to NYC after doing a show in Philly.. no sleep til they get home to Brooklyn!

[@panrick]

but the name "No sleep till Brooklyn." is an homage to Motörhead's famous live album called "No Sleep till Hammersmith"

[@patricklattanze452]

Slow and Low... Hold it now Hit it.... posse in effect... new style

[@joec417]

And “rymin and stealing” had to add that one!

[@suicyco4life666]

If you was wondering who the guitar player is... Kerry King from Slayer.

[@rowlinstoned3715]

I love seeing the younger generation realizing how awesome the music i grew up listening to is!

[@jduncanandroid]

True - they didn't give a fuck, they had fun, and their music is fun. What more can you ask for?

[@kanomorrow7622]

If you haven’t reacted to “fight for your right” then you should do that one. That song got them started into the mainstream music.

[@gregorysiegel1178]

The 1 the only Kerry fucking King from Slayer played the guitar on that

[@dbsti3006]

"Car Thief" and every song from Paul's Boutique. Thank me later.

[@joebauers8031]

👆🏻YES!

[@mn-wk3ju]

That whole album is so great! It was one of my first cds 💿 I ever bought

[@dbsti3006]

@@mn-wk3ju Hell yeah.

[@BennoWitter]

"Rock musicians can make a song about anything." Beethoven:"Hold my beer"...composes a piano piece "Rage Over a Lost Penny".

[@MsAppassionata]

Ludwig was the rock star of the 1700’s (along with Wolfgang) and 1800’s. He was a badass!

[@erinblack990]

Another great tune from my high school days!!!! Thx for playing it

[@4Who4What]

“rhymin and stealing” is a great video of them in a real live prformance

[@dbsti3006]

Rappers who are also skilled on instruments adds to it for me. MikeD- Drums MCA- Keyboards AdRock- Guitar

[@panrick]

MCA played bass, not keyboards.

[@dbsti3006]

@@panrick True. I was going off of what I saw from a few videos. I might have mistaken.

[@skynetterminatort100]

When they bleep the words out it takes me back to the time when the parental advisory sticker first came out, crazy times

[@Samhalta]

Also they bleep "he always smokes dust" but not "hoes"? 😄

[@rozpickering1239]

In the UK all the kids were nicking the VW motif off of cars and wearing them!

[@thunderstruck5484]

Awesome thanks again for another fun reacting yo! Eric B and Rakim “Follow the leader “ coolest hip hop rap song ever thanks again

[@andresmaldonado4033]

Underrated song: sounds of science by the beastie boys 🔥🔥🔥

[@brettryan2020]

"Brass Monkey" is one that didn't get as much love.

[@elbruces]

Not in recent reactions, but it sure did back in the day.

[@stuffbenlikes]

That one's funky.

[@tomtomlinson2835]

Quality tune

[@feldspar3858]

What are you smoking? EVERYONE who loves the Beasties loves Brass Monkey!!!

[@JackJohn0000]

Godsmack - Under Your Scars Imperfectly perfect rock love song

[@ivanvera4199]

Yo, y'all so young. I luv ya... keep searching... they are also a punk band...BOOM!

[@mariarosso3890]

¨GIRLS¨ your most deepest song!!

[@MNDrummer]

These are the jams on grew up on. Me and my best friend wore this cassette tape out back in the day..........

[@jakemistakeroberts2044]

Fun fact, the guitarist who played the solo at the end is Kerry King guitarist for a heavy heavy metal band called Slayer. Slayers worth a listen too

[@gvehar]

No Sleep Til Brooklyn is probably inspired by Motörhead’s live album No Sleep Til Hammersmith. One of the greatest live albums of all time. It’s sort of a saying meaning you don’t stop until X is done.

[@panrick]

not 'probably' they said it came from Motörhead's album

[@bryantrivera1852]

This song was about heading back to Brooklyn, NY.

[@tomtomlinson2835]

Brass Monkey, Sabotage, Intergalactic, Fight for your right, anything they ever released, you're golden.

[@santanarich2693]

gotta react to( its the new style,) old school New York hip hop crazy beats Beastie boy's best track.

[@elbruces]

Early bleeped part is "our manager's crazy, he always smokes dust." Their manager was Rick Rubin, co-founder of Def Jam. He's also the guy in the gorilla suit. I'd recommend "Root Down" by them next. Real old-school hip-hop shit.

[@panrick]

No it was about Russell Simmons. He famously used to smoke dust. Rick Ruben wasn't into that sort of stuff. They've said in interviews it was about Russell.

[@jayroo9260]

If you haven't done them yet, may I suggest 4 non Blondes "what's up", anything by Tori Amos, Paula Cole "where have all the cowboys gone?", and Joan Jett "I hate myself for loving you "

[@katiemccallister2778]

They r crazy

[@matt.coburn]

Thee very best Beastie Boys video is Make Some Noise, hands down. Y'all should definitely check it out

[@lucyluck6586]

They aren't a rock band, they are early rap

[@JC-es5un]

Have you reacted to "3 M.C.'s and 1 D.J.", if not, you should

[@joec417]

Guys “ the new style” with Dave chappelle. Another good one is when the do “sucker mc’s”for runs dmc. Another good one is “looking down the barrel of a gun”. “Posse in effect” on the show soul train. Trust me I told y’all before on this but I would not mislead you. The last one is “pass the mic” love, joe c.

[@anitaliwai1868]

you should know they started out as a punk band before signing with Defjam

[@extraordinarilyaverage]

Check out "The New Style" if you like the Beastie Boys

[@ryanwestenbarger2121]

If ya wanna know what metal is, play Slayer "Seasons in the abyss" with headphones. The whole album. That's who the guitarist is in this video. Its Awesome!

[@jayrock21]

Besty boys are rapper's

[@jakemistakeroberts2044]

Taxing ladies from here to LA lol

[@seamusburke639]

Check out "High Plains Drifter". The beat is so slinky, and all three of the boys pass the mic back and forth the whole song. It's probably one of the tightest examples of their lyricism.

[@tomfooleryx517x2]

React to. . anthrax and public enemy.. bring the noise....

[@paulschmidt1644]

RIP MCA.

[@Matt-bd5wc]

Thats the difference between new school. 1 Rapper. Old School = an MC and a DJ. Beasties say it best with NAS, "too many Rappers, not enuf MC's." Look it up. It sums up the B Boys. Adidas Posse ALW.

[@krypticcoil9540]

I don’t think that you guys have reacted to the Beastie Boys “Intergalactic” yet. “Intergalactic” was a huge hit but it wasn’t a rock song at all. It was straight hip hop. A lot of the rock community who liked The BBs were hurt that they traded their guitars for turn tables and whatever but I always loved that song anyway. Once you learn the lyrics it’s fun to rap along to.

[@mooniethemagnificent396]

Slayers guitarist. In case you didnt know.

[@stephanieclark9849]

Brass Monkey is such an awesome song by The Beastie Boys. Just check it out with the audio only, not the video. The video is just 3 random kids trying to lip sync (poorly) and it distracts from the song. But PLEASE check out Brass Monkey.

They're a rap band with rock beats...remember when Lil' Wayne started playing guitar? He could not pull it off. Not anywhere near this.

[@stealthyarcher1382]

Need a linkin park reaction

[@alexfletcher5192]

Easily dismissive until you realize this is essentially the first breakout white rap. And that explains the rock backing - which was more popular than rap at that point. Sorry to announce it, but there it is.

[@kymme6484]

It's been awhile since I've heard anything about Beastie Boys but MCA is the only one that's dead.
