Pop singer Madonna rose to stardom through New York’s night club circuit in the 80’s and by the middle of the decade she would become a sx symbol and have countless hits on MTV despite catching the ire of family values types. During one of her tours in the mid 80’s she chose to have and up and coming rap trio known as the beastie boys. It was a strange choice given how different their music was from hers.. Let’s find out what happened behind the scenes in today’s video.

In 1985 Madonna would head out on her first major tour. Titled like a vrgin She had graduated from playing small venues like CBGB’s and was now headlining arenas. Her manager would end up calling Russell Simmons and asked one of his artists to open for her on tour. It’s been reported that originally Madonna wanted a comedy rap trio named the Fat Boys to open for her. The problem was that Simmons didn’t represent the rap trio, but wanting to keep her on the phone, he pretended to represent them and he allegedly told her they were booked for another tour.Instead, he offered Run DMC, but Madonna’s people thought they were too expensive. So he offered The Beastie Boys. The beastie boys at this point only had a handful of songs to call their own, so they were a bargain to madonna. She agreed and so a tour was set in motion.

Madonna’s fans universally hated the beastie boys. The opening date of the tour started out at the Paramount theatre in Seattle. Madonna and the Beastie boys would play 3 dates there and the plan was to graduate to playing arenas after that. But the beastie boys almost got canned from the tour after those dates due to the audience’s poor reaction to their 30 minute set. Madonna’s management wanted to fire the beastie boys, but the pop star would refuse to kick them off the tour since she counted herself a fan. Ad-Rock would tell Jimmy Fallon in 2015

We played the first couple shows and they hated us," "She realized that [the audience] hated us so much, that by the time she got on stage, it was the greatest thing ever."

Rick Rubin was the Beastie Boys’ DJ (DJ Double R) but after the first week, he had to fly back to NYC and he never came back.

The Beasties rented a Lincoln Continental.to get them from city to city. They opted not to bring a change of clothes instead wearing the same lcothe fort the whole tour. Here’s a interview with the rap trio discussing what there relationship with madonna’s audience.

During an afterparty at one show in Los Angeles according to the book The Beastie Boys crashed Madonna’s afterparty and hung out with celebrities who had no idea who they were. The Virgin Tour would end in 1985 with five night residency in new york that was split between madison square garden and radio city music hall. During her last performance the beastie boys came on stage at the end of Madonna’s performance and soaked her with a water gun.
One year later The Beastie Boys would release 1986’s License to ill and it would go on to become the biggest rap selling album of the decade and throughout the next two decades they would become one of the biggest and most influential rap groups in history.
Ad-Rock would tell Spin Magazine in 1998 it’s not like any of us knew Madonna that much , but we used to hang out at Danceteria club so we knew of each other. I don’t know why she thought it would be a good idea for us to ope ntaht tour. It was a terrible idea. They were booed every night on stage and hit with beer bottles.

In the same issue of Spin Magazine Madonna would defend the band saying

“They were very bad boys. They said the f-word on stage all the time. The audience always booed them and they told them to f off. I loved the for that. I couldn’t understand why everyone hated them. I thought they were so adorable. I think I made out with Adam Yauch once in their dressing room.

That does it for today’s video guys thanks for watching and we’ll see you again on rock n’ roll true stories.

Take care.
