Beastie Boys New Tour and Music

The Beastie Boys will be going on a U.S. tour this year starting June 18th in Boston. They just remixed a song . If you haven't heard of this rap-rock group from New York City, The Beastie Boys started at the begining of the 80's with the members called Michael "Mike D" Diamond, Adam "MCA" Yauch, and Adam "Ad-D" Horovitz. Their music infuses hip-hop, rock, and rap with even some alternative styles. They take the record for being one of the longest lived hip hop acts worldwide and have been the biggest selling rap group since Billboard has been recording rap artists in 1991 with over 50 million albums sold worldwide. The Beastie Boys got into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 2012 right after Run-D.M.C.  However, the band ended in 2014 because MCA passed and so the remaining members told everyone they arent going to continue the band, but they still work on music and some remixes or short shows. Their best album is called Licensed to Ill. I highly recommend you listen to this group if you like old school rap. My favorite song has got to be Paul Revere and Brass Monkey. Fun fact, they toured with Madonna in the 80's. That must mean they are good and have some talent. It is sad to see artists fade away but nice to see how they all still want to continue with music, even though it wont ever big as big as it used to be. The new remix of the song is alright, a little bit different, but worth listening to.

The album includes their best hits, unreleased tracks, live songs, and even covers. ( They even have a cover of Elvis Presley's song Heartbreak Hotel. ) The article also has a list of all the songs and more info. Let's get started with the start of this legendary rock band that formed in 1985 from Los Angeles, California with its members including the following: vocalist Axl Rose, lead guitarist Slash, rhythm guitarist Izzy Stradlin, bassist Duff McKagan, and drummer Steven Adler.  Guns N' Roses has released six studio albums, accumulating sales of more than 100 million records worldwide, including 45 million in the United States, making them the 41st best-selling artist of all time.  Their Not in This Lifetime tour is currently the fourth highest-gross

UPDATED 5SOS: Coming Back Strong with New Song and Video

Image
5SOS ( pronounced five-sauce) stands for the band Five Seconds Of Summer. They are an Australian pop punk band who are returning with new music and probably a new album after taking a two year break. ( Makes me wonder how long One Directions 'break' is going to be. Shade ). The band formed in 2011 and hit fame in 2014 with their song She Looks So Perfect and when they became an opening act on tour for One Direction. They are inspired by Blink-182 who are a pop punk band as well. Currently, they have two albums out and both have added up to just under two million records sold. If they are starting up again, that definitely means a new album is coming and I have a feeling it will have a lot more pop than their past albums. Their new song is called, Want You Back and their music video already has a million views. This new song is different than most of their previous songs, it really shows their pop side. To be honest, I am not a big fan just because I want more of a rock tone bu

Depeche Mode Tour Success: SOLD OUT

Image
Depeche Mode's global tour that started in 2017, the Spirit Tour, just entered Latin America last month and the band is seeing tons of success in that more than 2.5 million people have gone to their shows and each show averages 1.8 million dollars. They set a record for having four sold out shows at the famous Hollywood Bowl in Los Angeles. It is crazy that after almost 40 years since the bands start in 1980, their is still a huge fan base that overwhelmingly supports their music and shows. I have even thought about going myself to see them. Depeche Mode is an English electronic rock band that consists of its three members Dave Gahan, Martin Gore, and Andy Fletcher. They are in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, have sold over 100 million records worldwide, and are rank number 98 on VH1's "100 Greatest Artists of All Time". I would recommend listening to  Personal Jesus ,  Policy of Truth , and  Enjoy The Silence . These songs are so unique which really makes them stand
