Beastie Boys Book

Product Information

A common question about this book seems to be: should I read the print book or listen to the audiobook? The answer is ... Yes! There are great pictures and illustrations throughout the print book, so you’ll want to see those. But the audiobook is well-narrated by a mix of the band members, essay authors, and other contemporaries and celebrities who seem to simply be fans (for example, Will Ferrell brilliantly reads the fake album review mentioned above).

This photo sums up how great, incredible, and fun this book is. This is a picture of the Beastie Boys, Slayer, and Run-DMC. Yes, you read that right. Yauch's presence is still very much felt in this book and it's clear how much they continue to miss him. It's also clear how 'outside the box' he pretty much always was.

There is a lot of heart in the book - a lot of “yeah we were young and stupid... we shouldn’t have done that”. Much humility - in that they recognized that they were very fortunate that things played out the way they did. A ton of love for the late Adam Youch (MCA) who was a creative genius that the music world will forever mourn.

Speaking to Drowned in Sound, Beastie Boys revealed that Part 2 was done. [95] Mike D also hinted it may be released via unusual means: Diamond: “I don’t even want to go into the down coat… Really, the VW thing is more about other people’s stories. Everybody, after I wore it, was just like [stupid voice, moving his arms stiffly]: ‘Oh, yes, this guy stole this one from duh-duh-duh.’” The Beasties didn’t play by the rules during their career, and this memoir by surviving members Michael Diamond and Adam Horovitz doesn’t either . . . hiliarious, at times heartwarming.’ In 1988, Beastie Boys appeared in Tougher Than Leather, a film directed by Rubin as a star vehicle for Run-D.M.C. and Def Jam Recordings. After Def Jam stopped paying them for work they'd already done and were owed money for, Beastie Boys left Def Jam and signed with Capitol Records. [ citation needed]Erlwine, Stephen.

After meeting exiled Tibetans while trekking in the Himalayas, in the early 90s, Yauch threw himself into their cause, attending talks by the Dalai Lama and writing songs that “incorporated his new life findings, his new understanding of the interconnectedness of things.” In 1996, he organized the Tibetan Freedom Concert, a two-day benefit in San Francisco’s Golden Gate Park, following it up with even bigger events in ’97, ’98, and ’99.
