:The Beastie Boys were the first successful white rap band, and are the only band from the early days of hip-hop that still enjoy major successes. to say one of the only acts ...because of LL Cool J...and if we want to get technical, Angie Stone was a member of Sequence and Dr. Dre was a member of The World Class Wreckin' Cru. --b.

message: Who is the female vocalist in the song "Sabotage"? Is that a clip taken from somewhere else and if so, from where? Drop a note on my talk page if you know. -- Sy / (talk) 17:04, 13 Feb 2005 (UTC)

message: From the Wired_magazine article:...   
The November 2004 issue of Wired was published with The Wired CD. All of the songs on the CD were released under various Creative Commons licenses, an attempt to push alternative copyright into the spotlight. Most of the songs were contributed by major artists, including the Beastie Boys, ...   
   
I'm surprised to not see a related reference on the Beastie Boys' own page. Nihiltres 22:52, 29 September 2005 (UTC)

message: As others have pointed out, the discography for this article was grossly incorrect, so I've polished it up a bit with the help of several reference sites. I've also taken out some of the chaff from the article, deleted dead pictures, and fixed grammatical and spelling errors. I hope this meets with everybody's approval. If you have any further suggestions for how this article can be improved upon, let me know and I'll see what I can do.

message: The discography lists "Southern" as the label that released Cooky Puss, but the EPs' article says it's Ratcage Records (and so does the vinyl copy of the EP that I own). The same applies for the Pollywog Stew entry. Beastiemania.net's discography page agrees with me. I'm changing these entries accordingly. 
Additionally, can someone explain why the section for the 1988-1992 era is titled "The Sounds of Science"? This is especially confusing, as it links to the article about the compilation. I don't think this is an appropriate name, since the other time periods are given titles of albums that were released during that time. I vote to change this, though I'm not sure to what. Any suggestions? NeilDespres 08:02, 3 January 2006 (UTC)

message: I'm not sure whether others have noticed but a certain someone keeps removing Beastiemania from the external links. I am wondering how others feel about this as it is the best website for Beastie Boys information and if someone was looking for more information on the Beastie Boys BM is the only website in the external links worth looking at as the official site has no information on it.
I personaly find it extremely annoying, even more so as this certain person never says why they do it. Please let me know your opinions. --Jimmyjrg 01:34, 1 March 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: You are right.  The anonymous user (83.221.83.61) is basically a vandal. I'll readd the link Ziggur 23:36, 2 March 2006 (UTC)

text: Users who aren't logged in are considered anonymous users on wikipedia. A single comment on an obscure page of a site doesn't really seem like enough to balance the usefulness of having it linked from here, but perhaps someone should contact the site and ask why that comment is present. Thankyou for commenting on your reasoning. --Fuzzie (talk) 19:30, 9 March 2006 (UTC)

text: Thank you for finally discussing your content changes.  However, I must agree with Fuzzie.  Plus I believe the comment on that wallpaper was added by a user of the site and not anyone having to do with running the site.  Perhaps you should contact the site instead of continually removing the useful link from this article. Ziggur 06:21, 10 March 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: Furthermore, given the clear consensus, I am going to readd the link to Beastiemania.  Please do not delete it again. Ziggur 06:22, 10 March 2006 (UTC)

text: Please stop removing the link.  It's getting annoying.  Everyone who has chimed in on this sees no problem with the link being on the article except for you.  Your own dislike for a small, out of the way comment on an external, informational, and helpful website has no bearing on whether or not the link should be included in this article.  This is getting stupidly trivial.  Ziggur 08:09, 10 March 2006 (UTC)

message: Reference 4 is rendering with an error.  That is, when you reach the references section of the page, there is a bold red error message in the space where reference 4 should be.  I don't have enough wiki-fu to correct it, but it is probably a trivial fix for someone who knows more than I do.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 95.83.200.239 (talk) 11:23, 2 June 2011 (UTC)

message: I think the section on sampling lawsuits should be expanded because the Beasties WERE sued for Paul's Mall.  I checked a couple of sources, and although the Dust Brothers did pay about $250,000 for sampling rights, apparently some of the songwriters also sued because they felt they were owed something as well.  Paul's Mall was the last album in hip hop to use such a large number of samples and the practice basically ended with it.  The rights are so costly now, that some rightholders demand 100% of the royalties just for a single sample, which doesn't make economic sense anymore.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by Danpetitpas (talk • contribs) 15:39, 29 August 2011 (UTC)

message: It says the band formed in 197& and that Yauch got the idea  after seeing Black Flag play in 1981. Did he have a time machine so he could get the idea to form a band and go back 2 years to do so? Also, the info box lists the years active as 1979 to present, not 1978.

replies: text: Very good point. I have amended the article accordingly. --John (talk) 12:17, 5 May 2012 (UTC)
replies: text:  What's the source for this date of origin? The band did not form in '78 or '79. I was playing in a band with one of them in '80 or '81, and it certainly wasn't the Beastie Boys. Pyroglyph (talk) 07:07, 7 May 2012 (UTC)

text: Check out the chronology cited by many of the people involved at the time in the SPIN article from '98. All concerned seem to confirm 1982. http://www.angelfire.com/fl2/beastie/yo.html Pyroglyph (talk) 07:13, 7 May 2012 (UTC)
replies: text: The first time they played was Andys 17th birthday party 1981.  Andy was quoted as saying that in your link and Mike D is quoted saying the same thing here http://www.sing365.com/music/lyric.nsf/Beastie-Boys-Biography./0B982363068317484825682C0009A5AE .  All dates previous to 1981 aren't supported and 1982 seems to be the first that they REALLY did play as the Beastie Boys. -- That Guy, From That Show! 15:42, 7 May 2012 (UTC)
replies: text: The two links supporting 1981 have the same material, do not cite anything either and are not reputable websites.  Also, Adam Yauch "got the idea" does not support 1981, just the type of music or the name.  There are also more reliable pages that say 1979.  Remember that they were originally a hardcore punk group and may have gone by other names.  If a group does play different music or still retains the same people but under a different name it is always considered to be part of said group.  Also, it is better to be earlier than to be later and ignore predated accomplishments.  With that in mind 1979 is a more proper date.
