40 Years Ago, A Legendary Guitarist Lent Solos to the Beastie Boys’ Biggest Hits

Beastie Boys’ two biggest hits, β€œNo Sleep Till’ Brooklyn” and β€œ(You Gotta) Fight For Your Right (To Party)” were given a hint of heavy metal flair with the help of an up-and-coming guitar legend, who just so happened to be within arm's reach. In 1986, while recording License to Ill, producer Rick Rubin felt that β€œNo Sleep Till’ Brooklyn” needed a little extra intensity, beyond the guitar riff he had initially written. Luckily for him, just down the hall, he was working on producing another, soon-to-be legendary record, Reign in Blood, with thrash metal band Slayer where he was able to convince guitarist Kerry King to perform the part.

Forget β€˜The Last of Us,’ This 2-Part Post-Apocalyptic Sci-Fi Is Still a Streaming Hit

Time to put the pedal to the metal. Based on the video game franchise of the same name, Peacock's Twisted Metal is a love letter to all things mods β€” especially when those mods alter cars into killing machines. When deliveryman John Doe (Anthony Mackie) has to travel between cities delivering packages across post-apocalyptic America, he needs the best gear possible in case criminals or corrupt law enforcement try to steal his cargo. Yet, despite living in a world where the rules no longer apply, John still finds joy in his job, mainly because he gets to do it in his sweet ride. From nearly being killed by a homicidal clown in Las Vegas to trying to steal weapons in Diesel City, John’s wild exploits are a huge part of why Twisted Metal has found renewed streaming success on the Apple TV Store.
