All right we have got two days in a row going, and we move onto one of my most life changing experiences of my childhood - watching The Beastie Boys Sabotage.
What a video. The album overall was pretty good, but this has got to be arguably the best video ever made. If you have never seen the video it is a spoof the intros to 70s cop shows featuring the boys as
“The Chief”, “Cochese”, and “Bobby the Rookie”. This video includes the three in a number of outfits, and even a large African American fellow the goes by the name Fred Kelly, or “Bunny” as the credits read.
The best parts of the video include numerous tackles of apparent felons, many into boxes, and two dummies being tossed off a bridge, and the other from a moving vehicle. In a later version of the video replaced with ninjas doing kicks - damn you censorship.
That horrible memory has been replaced however by the Cancer Bats and their good cover of Sabotage, but a great video - maybe one of the best ever - as they search for the Beastie Boys to be in their video, and loosely re-enact the entire original .
PS The Cancer Bats put on one heck of a show. I saw them three weeks ago with Baptised in Blood, and Devil Driver, and all three bands put on a great show.
