[deliciousdreamer]

And that is the shit my negros!!!!!!

[Eagleieye1]

AND THATS RIGHT!!!!

best line in the song :P

[Stampit88]

Rock 'n' roll dedication. Or should I say Pink Floyd style. Beastie Boys are awesome.

[hondacr125racer]

theyre a bit dorky, but ok

[haras9]

They look so cool playing their instruments.

[grubs078]

@haras9 they are cool.............. the coolest

[scaasi]

Shot in Rotorua New Zealand, a tribute to Pink Floyd Live In Pompeii AND a badass song.

Triple win.

[Pippy187]

The set is amazing...

[alakazam2929]

[88flamer88]

singer's guitar is beatles style. lol

good song, it's on guitar hero 5 and I got addicted. :)

[6614246]

Hiphop Rap!!!!!

Beastie boys are the best at hiphop and rap

[durazzzz]

great video!!!! classic to me

[fathernature4U]

is that a boss DS1 distortion pedal?

[SamuelLittler]

thought it?

[RockOnPinkFloyd]

I didnt think it was a rip off, im just glad bands are honering Pink Flloyd, especially the Beasties

[MetallicBill]

@RockOnPinkFloyd YES!!!! They know what's up!

[spacenoob]

Beastie Boys - Check Your Head: April 1992

Rage Against The Machine - Self Titled; November 1992

But c'mon, listen to any other album recorded in southern California that year. Distortion was just in fashion.

[slashjr1992]

its been used ever since it was invented

[kidcouger]

Needs More Bass Distortion.

[RockOnPinkFloyd]

I love the Beastie Boys but this music video is a copy video from Pink Floyd Live At Pompei, just look it up (Sp?)

[WiiForever302]

There's a reason for that, I think its mostly a honor video or something.

[RockOnPinkFloyd]

thats what i thought, im not mad at the Beastie boys, i actually like em a lot, i was just making conversation

[WiiForever302]

I understand too lol

[BaphometsWarrior]

Homage, not copy.

Note the "Pink Floyd London" on the back of the cabs.

It was made as a reference to the movie, not as a rip-off.

[MetallicBill]

@RockOnPinkFloyd A tribute to a pioneering band, nothing wrong with THIS picture

[WiiForever302]

Guys. if you're in a band and need a song to cover, well here you go, this will get you respect, trust me it will.

[WiiForever302]

Beastie Boys for the win. They kill anyone foolish in their way, including the Fat Ass Queefs(Black Eyed Peas) and Pissy Cent.

[Spartandec]

sounds like rage against the machine

still great

[Pokemaster08]

They are somewhat similar, but if you listen very closely to both of the bands you will here a lot of differences. And Rage Against the Machine sounds like the Beastie boys, not the other way around ;) both are good bands though.

[Key2Be]

Is this really Beasty Boys ....... ?

- From when was this video.

The main singer is kinda cute.

[donkeyzsp]

i hate you

[Reinke85]

divide Gratitude by Zero and go for a RIDE

[MattMonk]

OH SHI-....

[Fravelas]

Beastie boys never die

[Viscupelo]

dat bassline

[scottyflintstone1]

I'll take bands that rock for $100 Alex.

[davism5]

Check out the rotating leslie speaker @ 2:10! Richard Wright is really rocking out on the keyboards! Dave has his guitar strapped up too high.

[Evilboy36]

GOOD TIMES GONES!

[mattylane]

they should play there own instruments more, its just awesome

[1cooltk]

its on Guitar Hero 5

[itaibh1]

it's fun to play with drums

[Crispysmith123]

WTF!? Where did you get this version? Its different to the video on my DVD. Same style all round but obviously a different cut. Never seen it before...

[Sniperpimp14]

i fucking love the bass best distotion ive EVER heard

[uBeEnPiMpEd]

this song is on gh 5!!!!

[KristopherYoung]

Live At The Pompeii.

[escobarizporn]

yea it's a tribute to the video of the album meddle by pink floyd

[unnim]

Yes thank you, Pink Floyd, the Pompeii documentary. Do you know that most Beastie Boys fans don't recognize the reference. We need to educate.

[piledriver89]

i knew

[KristopherYoung]

Indeed.

[TheSwiech]

No. Thats for our lord and savior the great wikipedia to do,

[Deathlock257]

they are a very awkward looking band lol

[cooledkill]

WOW! feels like 72 over here LOL!!!!

[wabankik]

...Hammond Organs Rock,..Check out the tube fuse at 2:37,.,.,.'ONE OF THESE DAYS'{Im going to cut you into little pieces!)...Hope They Play "Echos" next,.HEY LADIES!,.Get Funkay!

[jcash12345678]

Cool stuff - enjoying it myself!

[TjPomps]

finally a GOOD song in guitar hero 5.

[WKUK2059]

you serious? You don't like plug in baby by Muse? WTF lol bro

[FakeUsername54321]

Muse is for gay millenial kids.

[8068]

Pink Floyd had to pay $25,000 USD for the ransom. Additionally, they had to pay a $5,000 USD charge for littering Yellowstone Park (the Beasties left the stuff behind, and it IS Pink Floyds equipment) and a $10,000 USD hauling and shipping fee to Agility (formerly GeoLogistics) to get the equipment back to the U.K.

MCA, do bong hits man, itll help the chemo go better!!!

[fracturedankle]

ha, as if...

where did you hear/read that bullshit?

[8068]

I don't think you wanna' know.......

[8068]

.... but, If I remember the the data right I think it has something to do with Shannen Doherty.

[fracturedankle]

well... i just don't know what to say to that but it made me smile anyway.

[8068]

Dude,

ENJOY!!!

[cuthbertallbad]

cool

[IvanStrelnikov]

I had always assumed they stole Pink Floyd's equipment and were holding it for ransom in Yellowstone National Park.

Pull through the chemo, MCA!

[PoltergeistGhost]

MCA isn't getting chemo...go to the beastie boys' youtube channel...he says he is getting an operation to remove the cancer.

[MetallicBill]

As an outsider it's hard to get to know their personalities, but I've been aware of them since License to Ill of course, Fight for your right! This tribute to the spirit of Pink Floyd is just tremendous

[sjjeross4]

adrock is a pretty good guitar player but mca is the best b-boy out of the three (four?)

[richymoore]

All our love to MCA during his battle with cancer, this is one of the tunes that inspired me to become a bass player. Fuckin legend ! He'll be back into the bong and the basslines in no time !

[MetallicBill]

Earl Root, famed local musician died from cancer last year, terrible. Wish him all the best, it's tough!

[rovingstarone]

wow...people judging a band by their guitar hero content? Hell in a handbasket, folks.

[alyboy11]

@rovingstarone isnt that pathetic?! what is this world coming too eh?!

[cheeseburger10101]

1:43 you can see the bongo player

[PikkerzEatWorld]

Meh, I'm not really too keen on the Beastie Boys. Their songs in the previous Guitar Hero's are kinda lame in my opinion, and when I saw this I thought, ''Oh No''. But, to be honest, this one dosen't really sound as boring as the previous ones. I hope the bass is fun on this song.

Sabotage will always be my favourite Beastie Boys track though!

[CaptainGreenFlash]

Good argument for not liking the Beastie Boys... Guitar Hero lol

Try this. Stop playing for ten minutes, go out and buy 'Paul's Boutique' (You're welcome)

[PikkerzEatWorld]

Actully, I kinda regret making that comment - I think the Beastie Boys are quite okay now, but It's just, I found they're songs abit boring because bass is quite..boring on them. (Sabotage not included :P)

Anyways, I will check that album out. :)

[samaanman]

beastie boys have some of the sickest bass lines (once you get passed Licensed to Ill)

First song you should check is "Root Down"

[guitaristshredder14]

0:27 Pink Floyd London

[MetallicBill]

...Live at Pompeii. If not seen, get the directors cut on DVD

[PinothyJ]

@MetallicBill The director's cut is horrible in comparison to the original.

[Iminfire]

I wish the director's cut of Pink Floyd: Live At Pompeii didn't add the weird and useless space scenes.

[juangonzalez76106]

If you go to the special features on the DVD... it says something like... Theatrical version or something... and it's the original film... bad ass... Echoes is Awesome!

[Iminfire]

Really? That's awesome! I'll look for it.

[flyboi1015]

this song is gonna be in guitar hero 5

[ShawEagle2012]

Yeah its gonna be on Guitar Hero 5 and it sounds like its gonna OWNNN on drums!!! :D

[fatwreck21]

They totally play their own instruments. They started out as a hardcore band in the 80's and their most recent release was strictly a jazz instrumental. (The Mix Up)

[IvanStrelnikov]

Less a jazz instrumental than a "free-form jazz exploration". An odyssey if you would.

[cheeseburger10101]

live though they dont always play the instruments,

[matbellers]

didnt know they  played their own instruments

[prodigyxl3600]

i dont think so... i thought this was just for joking around

[PCXVII]

What kind of distortion is that on the bass? A flanger and overdrive?

[RICkRockU29]

I believe so.

[TomViolence12]

yes, just make sure the distortion is a little on the fuzzy side. I use a digitech overdrive when we cover this song and a boss flanger. Fun as hell

[streek0]

they went from "check yo head" to "check your prostate"

[sarabaack]

whatever. these guys are cooler than you could or will EVER be. so check that!

they are hotter and sound better live than they did 20 years...

lame attempt at "humor"

[RICkRockU29]

lol

[streek0]

is this an homage to pink floyd in pompeoo?

[juicehea]

Yes it is

[perfectionless]

Pompeii dude

[halcyontom]

Shot in Rotorua New Zealand

[livking]

beastie boys + pink floyd = awesome. this song even has an echoes organ part. rip rick wright

[benjamin308]

Good tune. Nice Floyd tribute also.

[reivenlocke]

Amazing how when black rappers sample that it's called "stealing", but when the Beasties do it, it's called "tribute". Reminds me during Katrina when they said black people were "looting", but white people were "finding".

[TomViolence12]

what exactly are they sampling in this song?  The concept of the video? Yes. But they actually own most of pink floyd's old gear

[piledriver89]

do they? thats amazing

[FinsterFlummoxing]

People who lack consistency in their labeling are just haters.

We can get past it with a little positive energy.

[iiiiiii0000]

You should find refuge in the fact that the only people who call sampling stealing are idiots/the elderly.

[SECONDbiggestFAN]

They made a music video for their song "Gratitude" that appears to be a homage to the film Pompeii. In addition to copying its directorial style of slow horizontal tracking shots, the video shows the band's amplifiers labeled "Pink Floyd London" - just as Pink Floyd's amplifiers are labeled in the film

as you can see :)

[pinkfloydgeo]

Just one difference from Pink Floyd's Pompeii - they should be standing without clothes, in T-Shirts or without.

[AvEryBadApPLe]

real rap legends

[sarabaack]

WORD! Legends!!!!!!!!!!!!

[dreisao]

great video, great song!

[gooyaers]

adrock is pretty cool

[seamusmcfadden]

Wow! I love the doppler effect and Donald Leslie! Jesus Christ, I love vacuum tubes too! The B-Boys are goodtimes. This video knocks my socks off...
