Origins of Beastie Boys Documentary

[Masato]

Hey all

Interesting flick... weird cuz there's no interviews with the B boys themselves but a lotta 1st hand stories here.

They started as a punk/hardcore band, I actually dig their own punk stuff its not bad as far as underground hardcore goes.

I didn't know that 'Paul's Boutique' actually flopped on release. Now everyone reveres it as gold

Never know how shit comes together

Very cool Masato. Daglord, Diet Butcher had a littel bit of a Beastie Boys tribute in not only the Music Documentaries thread but I believe in one of the "official threads"

You should post this in that Music Doc thread on EY.com. Pretty good thread and this would make a nice addition.

We were just about to get deeper into many issues like Heroin/opiates curse which helped with their genius but also destroyed it. Also we were analyzing why and making a case that the Nineties were the best decade for many genres

yeah pre-internet wuz da shit. As soon as downloading music happened it changed everything. Nineties was the last real era before the switch.

No one fucks with the Beasties

I like their early model of being serious with talent but at the same time having fun and being jokesters/not taking it too seriously. A good recipe imo, lots of potential for growth that way, keep the ego mellowed out

Don't know much about Heroin, but can attest to other drugs being a double-sided thing

I used to listen to beastie boys on acid with headphones. SO multi-layered, you can enjoy all the sounds was amazing. Here's a drawing I did once while tripping/listening to Check Your Head:
