OFFICIAL PROMO: BEASTIE BOYS – FIGHT FOR YOUR RIGHT REVISITED

We’re super hyped about this Beastie Boys promo video for Fight for your right revisited. Not 100% sure what it’s about yet but from what we understand it’s a continuation of the original (You Gotta) Fight For Your Right (To Party) video on some Back to the Future (See if you can spot the Delorean DMC-12 in the background), Bill and Ted’s Bogus Journey type of shit. The cast includes Will Ferrell, Ted Danson, Seth Rogen, Elijah Wood, Danny McBride, Steve Buscemi, Alicia Silverstone, Kirsten Dunst, Orlando Bloom plus a shedload more. Ridiculous. See if you can spot the Beastie Boys cameo.

We’re even more hyped about the announcement that their 8th Studio album Hot Sauce Committee Part Two is finally going to be released. It was originally set for release in September 2009 but was put on hold when it was revealed MCA had unfortunately been diagnosed with throat cancer. We’re not sure if he’s fully recovered yet but we’re sending positive vibes in the direction of NYC.

But what happened to Hot Sauce Committee Part 1 you ask? We’ve been wondering that too so in their own words:

In what can only be described as a bizarre coincidence, following an exhaustive re-sequence marathon, Beastie Boys have verified that their new Hot Sauce Committee Part 2 will be composed of the same 16 tracks originally slated for inclusion on Hot Sauce Committee Part 1. The record (part 2 that is) will be released as planned in spring 2011 on Capitol. The tracks originally recorded for Hot Sauce Committee Part 2 (which now are actually back on Part 1) have now apparently been bumped to make room for the former Hot Sauce Committee Part 1 material. Wait, what?

“I know it’s weird and confusing, but at least we can say unequivocally that Hot Sauce Committee Part 2 is coming out on time, which is more than I can say about Part 1, and really is all that matters in the end.” says Adam “MCA” Yauch.

“We just kept working and working on various sequences for part 2, and after a year and half of spending days on end in the sequencing room trying out every possible combination, it finally became clear that this was the only way to make it work. Strange but true, the final sequence for Hot Sauce Committee Part 2 works best with all its songs replaced by the 16 tracks we originally had lined up in pretty much the same order we had them in for Hot Sauce Committee Part 1. So we’ve come full circle.”

So there you have it, clear as crystal.

Hot Sauce Committee Part 2 is scheduled for release on 3rd May 2011. You can pre-order your copy here. Ours is already locked in.
