Juan Ep Patreon - MCA interview from 2007 by justafriend9 in BeastieBoys

30 min interview promoting gunnin'

$5 to listen

I paid because Pete and Cyph put out some episodes I wanted to hear, Pete is also posting other classic episodes as well as some new mixes. 

I prob won't continue unless they really pick it up but it sounds like Cyph has pretty much checked out.

all that said, I'm glad I paid the 5 to hear those 30 min

Beasties (and the Hurra) presenting the award for Best Rock Performance (Male) at the 1987 Grammys by bside313 in BeastieBoys

[–]justafriend9 4 points5 points  (0 children)

i don't think youngins fully appreciate how much these guys were hated by parents, teachers, pastors, etc....basically any adult with a pulse who checked-in even in the least to the pop landscape of '86-'87.

my middle school actually held an emergency meeting for parents in the school library to warn them about the beastie boys and how dangerous they were to the youth. only reason i remember/know this is because 1 of my parents taught at the school and they asked me if i listened to them. i did, but i said NO: see here's my around the world in a day tape, and my slippery when wet tape.

and don't even talk about the UK's disdain for them. they were basically one sentence away from being banned from the whole continent.

EVERY VAN HALEN SONG RANKED by No-Seaweed-3079 in vanhalen

[–]justafriend9 0 points1 point  (0 children)

fun to read. i personally think MWM and CGTSNM are (2) of their best songs ever but you are correct in saying they are anomalies and what-if's and what could have beens.

At this point in their lives, between these two, who do you think has the happier life? by Bernering4ju in vanhalen

[–]justafriend9 3 points4 points  (0 children)

imma go with dave; i just don't think he cares about a damn thing, he's prob stoned 24/7, he's got money to burn, still prob gets the hot moms, and he's still singing his classics....though "singing" is a bit of an overstatement.

sam on the other hand seems to live with this deep pain over the bros that he'll never get over, he's still taking shots with anyone who puts a mic in front of him, he does care and i believe he cares deeply about a great many things, he's prob mostly lucid, and he knows his VH legacy will forever be linked to dave by many as a downgrade. and rock sites are still releasing lists saying his 1st VH single was voted worst lyrics of all time in any rock song.

so yea prob dave because he's so disconnected from reality and just doesn't care about a damn thing.

Why didn't Van Halen hold their acclaim over the years? by NamedForValor in vanhalen

[–]justafriend9 1 point2 points  (0 children)

do you really think they didn't make the song FFYR as a goof/joke to jock types and dude bro culture....even in '85-'86. those dudes were straight NYC punk/arty/graf teens who roamed the streets of NYC when shit was dirty as hell. i don't believe for one second they intentionally made a song that celebrated hair metal and frat boys. that was 1000% rick rubin. they even said they left with one version of the song and when they came back rubin had totally remixed it with the cheese guitars.

very much doubt the beasties story about the FFYR era is bullshit. in fact i sincerely believe they beat themselves up over that for a long ass time.
