I usually don't use the term but if i were to define it, it would mean, a band playing at fff with CONTROL that the crowd and opposing band gives off a serious reaction letting the band know they are pushing some watts. It would seem the band was on steroids. Example: SU 2005 And Then What, that's beasting. I don't want that kind of playing on every song and I wouldn't dare allow my band do it much. I can count on my fingers how many times i have used that terminology. Most people who use the term is ignorant about music and characteristic tones, they use the term on a normal basis and they feel offended when you say their band is not beasting. They are the kind that don't know the difference from a Picardy 3rd vs a C7 (#5), so i don't put much stock into them.
I used the word a few times when referring to many different aspects of band. I know I have told some people that they beasted their solo in performance class. I don't really use it just to talk about volume, more so doing a good job on something.

It is just like how people from Baton Rouge and everywhere else always disagree about the whole cold drink vs. soda pop argument. I have always and forever will refer to carbonated beverages as a cold drink, other areas call it pop or soda.

When I hear it, I think of a crude, unrefined, undeveloped, untamed, immature entity (doesn't have to be an animal), with no real substance.
Sometimes, I get a little offended when people say such things about my band.
"Yeah, such and such band is a BEAST".
It makes that band sound so...primitive....
