Rock Hard is an EP by the Beastie Boys, released by Def Jam Records on 12" in 1985. The song, and the accompanying songs on the 12", feature the band's debut rap effort.

The track contains samples from the AC/DC song "Back in Black", which was used without obtaining legal permission - thereby causing the record to be promptly withdrawn. Later, when the group planned to include the out-of-print song on their 1999 compilation, Beastie Boys Anthology: The Sounds of Science,

 

AC/DC refused to allow the sample to be used. Mike D spoke to AC/DC's Malcolm Young personally on the phone when their lawyers refused to clear the sample, and later said that "AC/DC could not get with the sample concept. They were just like, 'Nothing against you guys, but we just don't endorse sampling.'" Ad-Rock then added "So we told them that we don't endorse people playing guitars."^[3]

RIP Adam Yauch aka MCA of Beastie Boys. Passed away today from salivary gland cancer. Glad he lived to see his group's induction into the Rock n Roll Hall of Fame a couple weeks ago, even though he wasn't present at the actual ceremony due to his illness.

 

 

 

Thanks Nexus...Paul Revere was my favorite. Damn, I'm not sure what sucks worse...the fact that MCA died, or that a true artist will never get the attention that the worthless crackwhore boozehounds Whitney and Amy needed to get.

You seriously think of these guys as being true Artists/Musicians more so than Amy Winehouse or Whitney Houston? (I assume that's who you mean).

 

 

I'm not really a fan of any of them. but you can swing a dead cat almost anywhere and hit four people that can deep throat a microphone and dance around like a drunk onstage while rhyming..

 

I secretly like some of the Beastie's stuff, but I wouldn't consider them musicians any more than Milli Vanilli..I've heard/seen better art on an Interstate rest stop.

 

 

 

How in the Wide World of Sports did a rap group get inducted in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame? You'd think they'd have one of their own.

 

Sad that the guy died..

And tell me you didn't just put them in the same category as Milli Vanilli. You do know what 'music' is, don't you?
