Beastie Boys - High Plains Drifter

[davi72100]

7 people are totally suckerrrrrrrrrssssss

[richiebear1969]

It's sad that all Peter Fonda does now is infomercials. He should still be (at least on film) riding a motorcycle through the desert or driving a fast car.

[alleymatt]

One of the best videos on You Tube...A+

[jmohno]

super-rad, Wow.

[jet1fresca]

come on now... is there any better trip hop out there????

[frizzlefry420oh]

Makin' like a D.T. driving a Gran Fury wherever I hang my hat's my home and my past is kind of blurry cuz every dog will have its day and mine will be in front of a jury high plains drifter you know that I'm never in a hurry

[GILAGAF]

Well done!

[rifraf6977]

so great!!! I thought it was an official! Kudos to who put this together.

[P0wergl1de]

nice use of Steadman's gonzo art

[TheCagedTiger]

The flow is too good.

[INTIMIDATR183]

Very well done!!

[krophiquon]

this is sampled off the only song by The Eagles that doesn't suck. "Those Shoes"

[S2Cents]

that line "why are you here?"... I always pictured Yoda asking Luke.

[directtotim]

@S2Cents Your comment made me laugh. I pictured Yoda with a five o' clock shadow and smelling of 3-day old beer.

[S2Cents]

@directtotim Cool. But you know in the swamp there, Yoda did ask Luke that. And Luke said he was there to meet a great warrior or Jedi Master....something. And Yoda's eyes got big and he was like, "OHHH, YODA, you seek Yoda". Like messing with him. Testing Luke's patience, pretending for awhile he wasn't Yoda. .Anywho Empire is a great movie.

[S2Cents]

excellent video. great job!

[lutherb1]

great song...great video! Shameful it only has 140,000 views....some people simply don't know what's up. Paul's Boutique= instant classic!!

[h2oACE13]

eagles...good for one thing, letting the b boys sample their tracks.

[Sasse90]

This video is like the Beastie Boys, samples on samples, well clips on clips :P

[palmerc3po]

[ilovetortillas]

[mongojazz]

Nice work on the video.

[P6U6N6X]

whellllo like jahelllllo

[WadeAndShanah]

I can't BEGIN to express how impressed I am!

[tokyorose999]

Cash flow getting low so I had to pull a job. I found a nice place to visit but a better place to rob.

[OnlyDude77]

This is soooooooooo AWESOME. Great editing Job!

I'm actually working on a sort of "editing script" (except for the tracks that have already an official video) for the whole PB album, but I'm not able to do the editing part. What you be interested in working on it toegether? I always thought that this masterpiece should have a sort of visual counterpart.

Anyway, again, incredible work!

[superfarful]

that was so fucking awsome using the opening and closing scene of high plains drifter

[hpd99]

perfect 10....love the rambo fingerprinting scene

[MiCT]

I wish I could tattoo this video on my chest. IN fucking SANE.

[highonbetter]

I think i still own pauls boutique.and this song is great

[SkoolyRatt]

I like how you can hear the gun being cocked throught out the song

[SkoolyRatt]

This song is sooo dope

[JDonkey1969]

Great Video my man!! 

[wolffrankenstein]

5 people are too young to know what K mart is

[mrdansoko]

Absolutely awesome video. No one can touch the Beasties

[pimp713]

cant stop looking at this video i love it bro

[damionlovessandy]

God like editing . Superb video .

[device101]

baddest beastie joint ever!!!!

[MrSchmuchface]

whats the name of the song about johnny royale by the b boys

[yvonneisyvonne]

@MrSchmuchface Johnny Ryall =)

[emerpus01]

masterpiece. you sample video clips like the B-boys sample records.

[inthraledwithdub]

This vedio is only surpassed by the genius of the Beasties lyrics. How long did it take to put together? Roughly

[directtotim]

@inthraledwithdub I knew all the clips that I wanted to composite, so assembly took a little more than a month. I work about ten hours a day--my off time was spent on this little project for a while.

[nycalling72]

@directtotim

Well done man. This is some top, well done video editing man. Seriously, you could be the next Hal Ashby I liked this so much. Are you in working in the field now?

[msnikish]

@directtotim i just saw that Dustin Hoffman movie you got the clip from in the beginning great movie!!!

[slinkydoesit]

@directtotim I know it might be a pretty big task , but it would be awesome to do the whole Paul's Boutique album .

[cimmerianbarbarian]

@directtotim it would seem your knowledge of cultural references rivals the 3 bad brothers themselves.

genius.

[cimmerianbarbarian]

@directtotim it would seem your knowledge of cultural references rivals the 3 bad brothers themselves.

genius.

[moznico]

love your video dirrecttotim

[mrberstein]

Haha I know where this beat was sampled from? Does anyone else?

[kingsalad1969]

@mrberstein The Eagles. Those Shoes.

[chrishirschfeld]

Awesome video!!

[victornunzio1978]

Dude this is best ever........

[glenyellis]

live it, don't dream it.

[poughkeepsiejohn1]

High Plains Drifter, Marathon Man, Fistful Of Dollars, Fear & Loathing In Las Vegas, Taxi Driver, Dirty Mary Crazy Larry, The Getaway (1972), Dirty Harry, Knight Rider, First Blood, Clockwork Orange, Dog Day Afternoon, Cinderella (?), Night Court (??).  Yep, these would make a good rock video.

[starchmonkey]

You know what, listening to this years after my first listening experience to Paul's Boutique. Just ain't the same. I remember the first time I heard High Plains Drifter, I was so amazed and I listened to it constantly, so much in fact that it became permanently implanted in my brain with the thoughts and memories of that era in my life where I listened to it. Now when I listen to it, its like "you had to be there" kind of listening experience.

[victornunzio1978]

@starchmonkey awesome call dude.. same here!!

[cetnikz]

One of the sickest hip-hop albums of all time!

[fleshnbone187]

Fuck anyone who says Beastie Boys are for kiddies and rock fans. I am a hardcore hip hop fan and love them!

[DieMenschMaschine85]

"I bust a Travis Bickle when I feel that I'm getting pushed" - love it. So Beastie Boys, So New York, So Taxi Driver. Great video you put together. How did you think to get the clip of the cop knocking on the car/window. So specific to the lyrics but you picked it put, lol. Thanks for putting the sample names up too. Great touch.

[directtotim]

@DieMenschMaschine85 "How did you think to get the clip of the cop knocking on the car/window." I wanted to put in the speedometer from K.I.T.T. for ". . .doing 120 plowing over mailboxes. . .," so while sifting through old Knight Rider episodes for a good clip, I just happened across it. Divine providence, you might say.

[jayhawk88z]

cool video

[dashbys]

AWw HELLS TO THE YEAA BOYYY! THIS BE ONE OF THE BEST BEASTIE ALBUMS THERE IS!!!!!!!!! ALL THOE THEY ALL ARE GOOD

[ROBBNU2]

I am almost sure I am the oldest ones posting this but they came out when I was just in jr high school in the mid 80's and have always loved them ( no homo ) me and my two best friend lipped sinked to Pauls revere it was great it was the talk of the school for the whole year....

[SineadYeates]

this is one of my favorite B Boys songs and your video for it rocks!

[reivenlocke]

4 Justin Bieber fans disliked this.

[Toindus]

what film is at 0:36 i remember seeing this film as a kid

[directtotim]

@Toindus The movie is "Marathon Man."

[jalbertbowdenii]

@Toindus high plains drifter. duh

[hooligannie]

nice fuckin' video!!!

[nejim4r10]

thumbs up if you heard the song from a Blink-182 live concert ;D

[verityicon]

Great Job!

[crackheadmanning]

[selcoboy]

Superb video mate, top marks

[princeeverlove]

ONE of the BEST DONE VIDEOS ever on Youtube.

[directtotim]

@ZerkWilder The movie is "Taxi Driver."

[princeeverlove]

VIDEO EXCELLENCE...5 HIP HOP STARS *****

[yak6ex]

What is this song about?

[Axlerion]

Best Vid I've ever seen.

[evelsteev]

@directtotim dude, aside from the Steely Dan demo videos ('cause I'm funky like that) this is the BEST fan-made video ever. A fuckin' masterpiece. I mean that.

It's FONKEE!

[evelsteev]

Woah! Was that ADd ROCK from "Lost Angels", on the right side of the screen at

4:14? If it is, PROPS for diggin' in the video crates!

[directtotim]

@evelsteev You got it! PROPS for knowin' the flick!!

[yak6ex]

@directtotim

Did you put the film clips in yourself or is this the actual video?

[directtotim]

@yak6ex I put the clips together.

[finkeljautobahn]

chemical brothers in the beginning...not the actual dust brothers. chems = tom rowlands and ed simons. dust bros = mike simpson and john king.

[KevinHeaven9]

I'M DOIN 120 PLOWIN OVA MAILBOXES

[shock1974]

a long distance from my girl and I'm talking on the celluar, she said that she was sorry and I said "yea, the hell you were." ... The Beasties could always bring the flow better than given credit for... hip-hop classic....

[MRelemint]

this is a awesome video!

[sterrie12]

i bet on one horse to win and another to show

[InspScrubba]

This is one of the fucking funniest songs I have ever heard. This story is so fucking hilarious, I would have shat myself if a friend had told it to me when we were drunk.

[78NELSON78]

FUK YEEEA....

[AgnosticFonts00]

Hell yeah

[Zappafan5150]

AdRock >> MCA >>>>the third guy

[xSPLENDAx]

@Zappafan5150 Mike D? Shut up. Clearly you've been into them for like five minutes and shit if you didn't know who Mike D was rofl.

[louisunderwood]

Ha! Cool.... I enjoyed this...

[glenyellis]

Cool as fuck, disagree, shame on you.

[TheCottonTop]

"Reached behind the seat and snatch a cool one from the pack." I think MCA is talking about beer. Who the hell keeps their smokes behind their seat?

[directtotim]

@TheCottonTop "Reached behind the seat snatched a Kool from the pack," the liner notes have grabbed instead of snatched, but both agree that it's a Kool. What fool keeps their smokes behind their seat? The fool who got busy with his girlie earlier in the back seat!

[jjhitman]

@directtotim Awesom!

[jjhitman]

@directtotim Awesome!

[ear8b9]

@TheCottonTop Uhhh old people do. My mom and step dad both used to keep their cartons of cigarettes behing the seat in that pocket., Most cars to day do not have that pocket. They didn't keep a single pack back there but there was never not a carton. It was funny seeing this because she smoked Kools as well. Brings back old memories.

[fatnaken]

F'n awesome!

[Bill679]

this is fucking awesome

[MrSickness1138]

I GOTTA SAY THAT WAS A KICKASS VIDEO!

[mikeurruler]

[yak6ex]

I don't get the lyrics. What are they saying? Are they just making references to pop culture and movies?

[Celesteuals]

[birds13]

That's just how I envision the song when I listen to it! Very Coolly done mate!

[censoredmunky88]

b-boys kid--some of the original folks on the gansta rap scene--funny as it sounds and much earlier in their evolution, but true---NY flavor!

[rightsideupband]

My favorite part of the song is the tongue roll at 3:35

[WallsTV]

what a fucking awesome vid! Thanks for posting...

[MIDGETTROMA]

Dr hunter s thompson!

[rendavis25]

VERY well done man. One of my favorites all time on YouTube. I love how even the transitions and effects seem to be straight out of the 80's too. Rated five cause fives as high as it goes. Needs some sort of bonus star. I'll call it a six star.

Just realised you're in KS too. Awesome.

[mike840]

nicely done! great song choice. great album. great group. classic.

[kingsalad1969]

Dirty Mary, Crazy Larry, ZZTop, Clockwork Orange, The Getaway, Dog Day Afternoon, Batman, the list goes on.

[jfvols]

Yes sir, u know u know wat..........

[666lexus]

Fucking bad ass man. Great vid for a killer track

[dwhite1493]

I love the Janes Addiction footage

[Jumbo757]

awesome video man!

[flightinstructori]

Genious

[Noelnsf]

Did you make this video? It's really good! This is one of the Beasties best tunes ever!

[RashaTwain]

to be honest I don't like the beatles. so I personally find hip hop musicians more influential to me.

[DizzaTheDon]

Hey homie...u got DOWN with this!! 5 and faved dude...ur good.

[flatl1n3]

wherever i hang my hat is my home and my past is kind of blurry

every dog will have his day mine will be in front of a jury

high plains drifter you know that im never in a hurry

[phdbd]

@flatl1n3 "every knucklehead cadet trying to get me in front of a jury.....(?)

[ady34]

Awesome job dude you gonna do more

[WarningRules]

This was very well done.

On a side note, what was the very last sample? I can see that it's by the Ramones, but I can't really tell what the song is.

[fishbone3333]

Suzy is a Headbanger is the name of the Ramones song. It is off of their 1977 album Leave Home.

Paul's Boutique is arguably one of the best albums ever. I am not exaggerating. (I should also say that I am not a big B-Boys fan, but this album was WAY ahead of its time and I put it on a par with Sgt Peppers by the Beatles).

.

[WarningRules]

Yeah, I thought that it ended with "Headbanger".

And I couldn't agree more with the other statement. Paul's Boutique is undoubtedly the the best album by the Beastie Boys.

[spqromanus]

@fishbone3333 You're right. I am a bit of a Bboys fan, even though I don't really like rap/hiphop, and Paul's Boutique was way ahead of its time, and above anything else that the Bboys did. It has great song after great song.

[astumpe80]

@fishbone3333 Concur....no one was sampling like this before PB dropped....everyone was after though...

[thehognias]

@fishbone3333

by far the best rap album

[Peeler34]

Yeah man...mad props on this vid. I agree with krakka...you've done the Boys proud. Awesome stuff bro. Thanks!

[limodrivermike]

10/10 dude!

[54spiritedwill54]

Very impressive.

[ady34]

awesome job dude

[krakkajackson]

Awesome job home slice. I'll bet the B-Boys themselves would love this if they see it.

[LightningChimp]

Perfect visual analog to the song, with video samples as exciting as the audio samples...it IS visual Paul's Boutique! Super cool, man!

[bobdigi88]

One of the best vids i've seen on u tube. Great job.

[Gurochuck]

This is excellent! Never get tired of watching it

[galaxigrl68]

Mad cool! :-)

[Redgrant80]

Good stuff man Really made my day

[freshfacehooker]
