IN THE MIDST OF THE GRUNGE ERA, 3 FELLAS FROM NYC WERE EVOLVING THEIR SOUND AND PROVING THEIR ROCK VALUE ON THIS DATE IN 1992 AT THE L.A VENUE THE PALLADIUM BY PLAYING ACTUAL INSTRUMENTS ONSTAGE FOR THE VERY FIRST TIME. SOME THOUGHT THE BEASTIE BOYS WERE A NOVELTY ACT, BUT THEY JUST KEPT EVOLVING AND REINVENTING THEMSELVES AND WITH THE RELEASE OF THEIR 3RD STUDIO ALBUM CHECK YOUR HEAD THEY WERE ABLE TO SHOW OFF THEIR INSTRUMENTAL SKILLS AND IT ROCKED! THE TRIO PLAYED INTRUMENTS ON ABOUT 3/4THS OF THE ALBUM WITH A NOD TO THEIR PUNK DAYS, HOROVITZ ON GUITAR, YAUCH ON BASS AND DIAMOND ON DRUMS. ON THIS DATE IN 92, THE BEASTIE BOYS PROVED THEIR ROCK VALUE PLAYING THOSE ROCK INSTRUMENTS LIVE ON STAGE, SO WHATCHA WANT? THAT IS THE QUESTION…CRANK IT UP AND ROCK OUT ALL 90’S FUSION STYLE WITH THE 2ND SINGLE OFF OF CHECK YOUR HEAD…IT’S A QUESTION THAT NEEDS NO ANSWER…SO WHATCHA WANT? ITS ROXY’S ROCK REWIND ON 105.7 THE X IN THE 5 O CLOCK FREAK OUT ON A FRIDAY EVE….
