Thank you to Ashley D for pointing out that Beastie Guys are named after the band members of the Beastie Boys.
Your wizard meets Yowck in the Aeriel Jungle. He invites your wizard to come fight for an Amazing Prize, the Brass Spider Monkey. His invite goes something like this…
Hello Nasty… Wizard. More like itty-bitty lizard.
You don’t tough. You don’t look rough.
You don’t look like you can fight… and stuff
But that alright, try and fight, down at the Beastie Club tonight.
But you be wary, club is scary, it intergalactic, planetary.
Warriors come from all skies to fight and win Amazing Prize.
So you can fight? Can you destroy? Then go to cave and make some noise.
Adrok told Yowck not to talk about Fight Club so they’d be champions by default.
Mykedee is the first Boss in the Beastman Fight Club instance.
Speech: “Hey, you make some noise! In Intergalactic, Interplanetary Fight Club, that mean only one thing… you gotta fight!”
When you defeat Mykedee, he feels… ill.
Adrok is the second Boss in the Beastman Fight Club instance.
Speech: “What’cha want? To fight? Uggg. Me tell Yowck not to talk about fight club. That make us champions by default. Now me have to crush you.”
When you defeat Adrok, he accuses your wizard of sabotage.
Yowck is the final Boss in the Beastman Fight Club instance.
Speech: “Well, well, Wizard, ready to rumble? ‘Cause now you face triple trouble
If you want Prize, you must survive… against all three of us Beastie Guys.”
Beastie Boys were an American hip hop/rap rock group from New York City, formed in 1981. The group was composed of Adam “Ad-Rock” Horovitz (vocals, guitar), Adam “MCA” Yauch (vocals, bass), and Michael “Mike D” Diamond (vocals, drums, programming). Beastie Boys were formed out of members of experimental hardcore punk band The Young Aborigines, which was formed in 1979, with Diamond on drums, Jeremy Shatan on bass guitar, John Berry on guitar, and Kate Schellenbach later joining on percussion. When Shatan left New York City in the summer of 1981, Yauch replaced him on bass and the resulting band was named Beastie Boys. Berry left shortly thereafter and was replaced by Horovitz.
After achieving local success with the 1983 comedy hip hop single “Cooky Puss”, Beastie Boys made a full transition to hip hop, and Schellenbach left. They toured with Madonna in 1985 and a year later released their debut album, Licensed to Ill (1986), the first rap album to top the Billboard 200 chart. Their second album, Paul’s Boutique (1989), composed almost entirely of samples, was a commercial failure that later received critical acclaim. Check Your Head (1992) and Ill Communication (1994) found mainstream success, followed by Hello Nasty (1998), To the 5 Boroughs (2004), The Mix-Up (2007), and Hot Sauce Committee Part Two (2011).
Beastie Boys have sold 20 million records in the United States and had seven platinum-selling albums from 1986 to 2004. They are the biggest-selling rap group since Billboard began recording sales in 1991. In 2012, they became the third rap group to be inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. In the same year, Yauch died of cancer and Beastie Boys disbanded. The remaining members have released several retrospective works, including a book, a documentary, and a career-spanning compilation album.
“(You Gotta) Fight for Your Right (To Party!)” (shortened to “Fight for Your Right” on album releases) is a song by American hip hop/rap rock group Beastie Boys, released as the fourth single from their debut album Licensed to Ill (1986). One of their best-known songs, it reached No. 7 on the Billboard Hot 100 in the week of March 7, 1987, and was later named one of The Rock and Roll Hall of Fame’s 500 Songs that Shaped Rock and Roll. The song was also included on their compilation albums The Sounds of Science in 1999, Solid Gold Hits in 2005 and Beastie Boys Music in 2020.
“Sabotage” is a song by American rap rock group Beastie Boys, released in January 1994 as the first single from their fourth studio album, Ill Communication (1994). The song features traditional rock instrumentation (Ad-Rock on guitar, MCA on bass, and Mike D on drums), turntable scratches, heavily distorted bass guitar riffs and lead vocals by Ad-Rock. A moderate commercial success, the song was notable for its video, directed by Spike Jonze; it was also nominated in five categories at the 1994 MTV Music Video Awards.
In 2004, Rolling Stone magazine ranked “Sabotage” No. 475 on their list of the 500 Greatest Songs of All Time. In 2010, it was dropped to No. 480. In a 2021 updated list, Rolling Stone re-ranked the song at No. 245. In March 2005, Q magazine placed it at No. 46 in its list of the 100 Greatest Guitar Tracks, and was ranked No. 19 on VH1’s 100 Greatest Songs of the 90s list. Pitchfork Media included the song at No. 39 on their Top 200 Tracks of the 90s list.
“Intergalactic” is a song by the American hip hop group Beastie Boys. “Intergalactic” was released as the first single from their fifth studio album, Hello Nasty, on June 2, 1998. The single reached number 28 on the US Billboard Hot 100, making it the band’s third top-40 single, and reached number five on the UK Singles Chart, where it remains the band’s biggest hit. It received a Grammy Award for Best Rap Performance by a Duo or Group in 1999.
Fight Club is a 1999 American film directed by David Fincher, and starring Brad Pitt, Edward Norton and Helena Bonham Carter. It is based on the 1996 novel by Chuck Palahniuk. Norton plays the unnamed narrator, who is discontented with his white-collar job. He forms a “fight club” with soap salesman Tyler Durden (Pitt), and becomes embroiled in a relationship with an impoverished but beguilingly attractive woman, Marla Singer (Bonham Carter). Fight Club is also the inspiration for the Fight Grubb instance in Wizard City.
