The Beastie Boys shared a new annotated version of their classic 'Sabotage' clip as part of the 30th anniversary celebrations for 'Ill Communication.'
turns 30 this year and as part of the ongoing celebration, the band has partnered with Vevo for a special annotated version of theSpike Jonze
-directed clip, in which MCA, Ad-Rock, and Mike D pay homage to Seventies cop shows. According to one of the annotations, Ad-Rock had long had the idea for a video where the band dressed up as undercover cops during a stakeout. The concept was revived, and finally implemented, for the “Sabotage” video when Jonze arrived at a photoshoot wearing a wig and fake mustache.
Among the other factoids scattered throughout the clip: The “Sabotage” video was shot with a small enough crew that everyone could fit in one van — this not only allowed Jonze and the Beastie Boys to film the video around Los Angeles without permits, it also eased the band’s unease about filming big budget music videos on large sets.
Meanwhile, Jonze once said the “Sabotage” clip was like the movies he made in high school, “weird glasses, fake mustaches, using flour as fake coke. It’s funny to realize I was making the same stuff all over again, but just much better.” Katy Perry Teases 'Sexy, Confident' New Song 'Woman's World'that an earlier version of “Sabotage” featured a Queen Latifah sample as the hook.
