You need a sampler. :)

Ebay (http://musical-instruments.search.ebay.co.uk/sampler_Pro-Audio-Equipment_W0QQcatrefZC12QQfromZR40QQsacatZ15197)

I've seen them used, even considered it myself once, but they aren't too "performance friendly". The ones good enough to play with live aren't at the cheap end either.

Something like the Boss RC-50 might fit the bill - I presume as well as live looping you can pre-load it with samples to set off.

Wow a 24 yr old who knows who B.A.D. are! Yeah E=mc2 was a cracking track & I seem to think some other stuff wass pretty good too though I must confess I don't really remember much from that period, you must've been about 2?

all i can say is i'm definitely not an original fan from back when they were around. but there's not too much doing on music scene at the moment, so why not listen to old stuff. in fact this month sony has released the first 5 BAD albums box set for £13

Whatever you're using live, if you want to use a trigger get something with big pads!
