Recent date edit
[edit]The open stated the group formed in 1979 with the second paragraph saying the group formed in 1981. It can't be both. In lieu of finding a source I decided to change 79 to 81. When I - or another editor - find a source to nail down the formation date it will be corrected if needed at that time. THX1136 (talk) 21:34, 31 October 2018 (UTC)
- I found a cite at AllMusic for the formation date.THX1136 (talk) 02:19, 6 November 2018 (UTC)
- Currently (June 2023), AllMusic states that Beastie Boys were formed in 1981. I have edited the article to reflect the correct (1981) date. I will try to add other sources as well. The Young Aborigines were founded in either 1978 or 1979, but they were a predecessor, not the same band. Gsshatan (talk) 19:28, 26 June 2023 (UTC)
Merge with The Young Aborigines???
[edit]The following discussion is closed. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made on the appropriate discussion page. No further edits should be made to this discussion.
Should The Young Aborigines really be a separate article (and a stub at that)? From what I can tell everything points to this simply being the same exact band under a different name and genre. Bands change their names all the time (see Green Day i.e Sweet Children) but it's still the same band.
From the articles:
- "The Beastie Boys were formed as a four-piece hardcore punk band, the Young Aborigines, in 1978 by Mike D (vocals), MCA (bass), John Berry (guitar) and Kate Schellenbach (drums)."
- "The band changed their name to the Beastie Boys. The Beastie Boys would later achieve success as a hip hop band."
What here then necessitates an entirely new article and not having the "Young Aborigines Era" as part of the early years section? AEWFanboytalk 00:19, 22 February 2020 (UTC)
