Do you remember 1987? Found this about the Beastie Boys going wild on some TV show in Japan. Those guys really rocked back then. Now, they're pretty tame!

I love the Beastie Boys old stuff. License to ill was and is the shit. I think the difference between then and now is that they didn’t take the music or themselves too seriously.
