Aww, memory lane. All your skill, hard work and unbreakable brotherhood is what made you so great and an indelible part of the American cultural fabric! Thanks for everything and RIP Adam Yauch.
Kate Schellenbach from Luscious Jackson, she was the drummer when they originated in the NYHC scene. They chose "Beastie Boys" because it had 2 B's like the Bad Brains. They idolized Bad Brains.
Big Up's for posting this, I'm a 35 year old Beastie fan, been rocking them since 87 footage like this is time-less and needs to been respected. Pure Class ;)
Fucking Awesome. The roots are always where its at! MCA, i grew up with you guys, RIP!!! Here's the thing, they started off as a joke and ended up as irreplaceable. Long live the Beastie Boys.
Before "License To Ill" dropped... they were at a club in the Village and got booed off pretty quick, doing this "punk" incarnation of themselves. Almost a year later, we had the Beastie Boys as we know it.
@atjeminem Actually, Mike D was still lead on the hardcore songs like Tough Guy and Time for Livin', Ad-Rock just took over for the more punk rock ones, like Gratitude and Sabotage.
Fans make a band stand the test of time... Ethnic nepotism may open doors and create opportunity but curiosity and determination and consistency keep people interested. They definitely evolved as musicians if you compare this shit to the latest albums.
They actually weren't playing at a high school, I believe this was on Noise The Show. I think the guy who posted this vid just meant that they were in high school at the time or somethin, I don't know.
That fucking green anorak. Back when kids smoked schwag nickels and trays bags of weed, seeds would pop willy nilly. One burnt seed on that fucker and it was ruined. Golden years.
@CanizzLoser Your taste is respectable, sir. My guess is the folks' argument who don't like this goes something like the following: "But this doesn't sound anything LIKE Blink 182..." Or, only slightly better, "God, this doesn't remind me of Sabotage at ALL! I hate it!" And the world continues to turn....
I'll tell you why... He died with dignity fighting illness. Whitney's death was a spectacle. People for some sick reason like seeing a disaster. The media had been building up to it for years, it's like people were waiting for it.
It's not bad, but I think they sounded better before John Berry left. Egg Raid On Mojo is my favorite song. Like their hip hop stuff too, but nothing compares to the raw punk brutality of Polywog Stew.
IDGAF what anyone says. These guys and this video are a prime example of determination and inspiration. They sucked and they knew it and built on that. Been a fan forever but I do admit they went a little too far into rap for my liking in the later years after Liscence To Ill. Still have all the albums nontheless.
@pregnantbeaners Hah, that's exactly why BB was a shitty punk band. They just wanted to be the Bad Brains. All of their passion was secondhand, and once they let go of the dream of being Bad Brains, they started making their own music; their own way.. This is what caused the uprising of the now quite famous Beastie Boys.
Nothing bad about this...don't get the folks who call it bad or terrible...so punk rocks not your thing...c'est la vie...you get a pass, though, for posting it...fantastic

Fucking Awesome. The roots are always where its at! MCA, i grew up with you guys, RIP!!! Here's the thing, they started off as a joke and ended up as irreplaceable. Long live the Beastie Boys.
That pre-teen like voice is the cutest thing ever.
This was actually their Punk band in 1984 on the Scott and Gary show, after they released their first Rap experiment, Cooky Puss.
RIP MCA... :(
They went from this to being known all over the world
Before "License To Ill" dropped... they were at a club in the Village and got booed off pretty quick, doing this "punk" incarnation of themselves. Almost a year later, we had the Beastie Boys as we know it.

totally post punky sound, Adam was such Peter Hook´s styled, my god, i love them!
DOPE White Shadow with kate on drums yauch bass tone is sick FTW
MCA!!!!!!!! a baby!!!!!RIP!
i am biased, i love just about everything beastly...
The hearts in the background are so cute.
That kind of thinking made punk so undervalued by others and even by themselves...
they were a great punk band. the best hc band and the best hip hop, beastie boys are the shit.
UoOOOHH This is a relic
The drummer is from Luscious Jackson but 10 years or so afterwards from this year.
plus they are so cute here!!!
lol look how far these kids came! Buon Anima, Adam
thanks man
That is just so cute! :)
awesome!!!real punk!!
Fans make a band stand the test of time... Ethnic nepotism may open doors and create opportunity but curiosity and determination and consistency keep people interested.

it's video from Scott & Gary Show appearance in 1984
wow they really look the same ever since then wow.
WORD UPPPPPPPPPPPP RIP MCA
sweet bass!
THE YOUNG ABORIGINES
yeah, there's nothing bad about this, they're actually great, I'd love to hear more.
dude they were a punk band, it's not about sounding good, it's about the message it's bringing
They went from doing this to what they were. It's crazy how shit works.
They actually weren't playing at a high school, I believe this was on Noise The Show. I think the guy who posted this vid just meant that they were in high school at the time or somethin, I don't know.
@crc1606 Kate Schellenbach from Luscious Jackson
this is fucking great!
This is not live from any high school, it's from a TV show in 1984.
Their drummer is awesome. The rest of the band... well, it's clear why they changed to rap.
hollyy shit, drummer is goooood
"We're The White Shadow" lol!
That fucking green anorak. Back when kids smoked schwag nickels and trays bags of weed, seeds would pop willy nilly. One burnt seed on that fucker and it was ruined. Golden years.
what high school is this they're playing at? thanks!

where's the rest of it? WHERE'S THE REST OF IT?!
The actual date was 1/29/1984
I want to read Kate's memoirs on the boys! Where is that book?
ITS IT REAL
yh i agree
RIP MCA
Is it just me or does the guitar sound sort of similar to Minor Threat (the song by the band)
Haha! Those hearts on the wall!
The description does.
@Khultan does she ever age? She looks just like she did in the last albumn.
I wonder how fucking hard they would've laughed at you if you told these guys that would be in the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame in 2012.
Kate!
can somebody please give those boys an 808
Do you think everyone started out as complete as they finish?
No. Thanks for the image -
personally i liked their old punk stuff a bit more than i like their rap. check out pollywog stew.
pollywog stew ep is the shit man
The worser a punk band gets it sounds better to me!!
"Really bad punk band"? are you fucking kidding me? i think theyre awesome
I'll tell you why... He died with dignity fighting illness.
Whitney's death was a spectacle. People for some sick reason like seeing a disaster. The media had been building up to it for years, it's like people were waiting for it.
they were actually a sick punk band...
If they played for 25 minutes, why is the video only 88 seconds long?
@fucheduck She's definitely much younger here and cute.
that green jacket is truly horrible ... but man I love these boys and what they eventually become ...
HAHAHAHAH priceless .. i wonder what comment Mike have on it ;P
It's not bad, but I think they sounded better before John Berry left. Egg Raid On Mojo is my favorite song. Like their hip hop stuff too, but nothing compares to the raw punk brutality of Polywog Stew.
where did this come from?
Really bad punk band? I've seen alot worse. Thanks for the clip.
ohhh ftw
IDGAF what anyone says. These guys and this video are a prime example of determination and inspiration. They sucked and they knew it and built on that.

If they play for 25 minutes, why is there only 1:27 !? Get on that.
this is real punk real shit sorry its not blinkemovampirecrap...........................good stuff i love it
i like it too haha. its punk. punk is about pissing people off and doin what ya want haha. RIP Adam :(
Sounds just like Jimmy Fallon!
Egg Raid on Mojo
they were actually not that bad. Certainly miles better than most high school bands.
Who's on drums?
@pregnantbeaners Hah, that's exactly why BB was a shitty punk band. They just wanted to be the Bad Brains. All of their passion was secondhand, and once they let go of the dream of being Bad Brains, they started making their own music; their own way.. This is what caused the uprising of the now quite famous Beastie Boys.
Nothing bad about this...don't get the folks who call it bad or terrible...so punk rocks not your thing...c'est la vie...you get a pass, though, for posting it...fantastic
So this is where Cobain ripped off his Incesticide riffs from.
No one said they were bad.
Who's the chick drummer?
they didnt suck.
Oh god this is terrible
and i fucking love it
oh, now I get it why they got rid of that chick
@pregnantbeaners
yeah, it's not bad at all.
Rotznasen!
:)
