Beastie Boys Story - Reddit AMA After Party with Mike D, Adrock and Spike Jonze 

The fact that your watching this right now makes you way cooler then you think you are.

I watched this live and was really sad that it had to end. I cried near the end when Horowitz talked about how much he missed Yauch. Spike Jonze somehow managed to do justice to the world wide cultural phenomenon that is the Beastie Boys. I couldn’t love this project any more than I do. Thank you!!

This documentary blew me away, in every way. It melted my nostalgic heart. Perfectly done in every way. Thank you BB for the years of enjoyment, not only as entertainers but humans.

To Adam and Mike, I just want to say thank you for making the music you do. You provided the soundtrack for some of the best days of my life.

The chaotic energy that this has will remain unmatched forever. Loved every second, would watch 10 more hours

Ad rock has the gray hair and glasses. But then he smiles and you see that kid.

Hearing “I Don’t Know” instantly brings tears to my eyes each and every time I hear it.

These two should have a show, i could watch them all day!!!!

HA! HA! Spike is that sweet natured high school teacher who is patiently trying to get the class discussion back on track, but the class clowns will be forever derailing until the end of time. Lost cause 😂

Best Part: Biz Markie calling Mike D asking why he didn’t call him at 11.. Biz was the one always late 🤣🤣🤣

Natural born entertainers, just glad to be alive and kickin not frontin not trying to be cool cause they are on another level that doesn’t acknowledge cool. The music speaks for itself and that’s that.

i have finished watching the story, in memory of mca, how you guys broke the locked cabinet because you're all high and young and all that stuff. and wearing those fancy clothes in the said cabinet. it was a nice ride watchin it. most of all is the friendship, specially with kate, i feel kinda excited waiting for her to come back in your story but she didn't. and the funny audience bloopers before the end credits. you guys are intergalactic

Love Mike D. The heart of the Ghostbusters.

I remember how you guys played ball during sound check in Jakarta, 1996. You even brought out the ball on stage when singing happy birthday to Dave Grohl. Beasties, Sonic Youth, and Foo Fighters, best festival ever.

Adam: "I should've been in my kitchen" Ironically he's the only one eating.

Awwww I've wanted to hear Hot Sauce Committee Part One so much for ages, that album was so good yet so different and seemed like a new expiremental era for the Beastie's, I hope they can find it!!!! 🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼 Can't wait to hear any unreleased Beastie's though, they're awesome throughout!!!! 🙏🏼♥️

I'm from South Carolina. I grew up on a dirt road. Around 1984 or 85 I found a broken cassette tape a recorded take one of the old Memorex blank tapes on my dirt road. I was probably eight or nine years old at the time I took an old Phil Collins cassette apart because it was the only one I could find that I didn't like that had screws in it. I put the actual tape that I had found on my dirt road a real it all back up put it inside the Phil Collins tape that I had taken apart and as soon as I match play if popped so I take it all back apart again surgically put a tiny piece of Bandaid on the tape and put it all back together. Hit play in the very first thing I heard was GIRLS..... change my life and I've had every single Beastie Boys album since. I Still Rock them almost every day. Thank you fellas thank you

I wanted like 5 more hours of this.....

This is a mess. A glorious, hysterical, perfectly fitting mess....

i'm so glad for watching this ! hope ya'll taking care

Did AdRock eat the entire time?

These three guys should do a regular scheduled show where they cell phone face time people and see what goes down.

Loved the Story and the concept and I know there's no way of mentioning everything and everyone in that limited timeframe, but I somehow feel Mixmaster Mike should've been mentioned, at least I was hoping to see how that relationship started

Loved the doc. I've been beastie binging for over two weeks now. Even more appreciating Paul's boutique now!❤❤❤

I'm honored to be able to watch the legends and goats of the Rap Game. I've been around since they all first came out. These fellows are cool and down to earth and humble as they come. 💪🏽✌🏼💜💯💯💯

best gig I ever went to: full rappin set, then costume change and amazing instrumental/vocal set: then rappin and another instrument set: like 2 bands in one for sure : )

I’m a roadie of 35 years I did tours with you guys and Murphy’s Law back in the early early days

AdRock still fit as hell

“And if you're feeling chilly I'll fetch you a shawl...” is on hot sauce committee part two, not to the 5 boroughs, Adam.

So epic and funny. Adam eating chips and dip the whole time makes me hungry. Also he do rock the gray hair and glasses.

Words cannot describe the depth of connection with your souls, as a generation community and our shared childhood days. Thanks. Namaste

listening rn to the audio version of the Beastie Boys Book (which they discuss toward the end of this amazing and hilarious AMA) and IT IS TRULY ILL, fantastic - easily the best-produced audio book i've come across and a real testament to enduring fans and friends

There needs to be a Beastie Boys biopic!

I just got to see the doc/movie last night. For me, I've been into the Beastie Boys. Since I was ten. When license to ill "dropped". I was 9-10, jumping around fighting for my right to party. To knowing every rhyme on HSC2 and of course every album in between. But the movie is great. Thank you! Beastie Boys. Your voices, thoughts, sick ass beats, you three really influenced me. When I step out the house, with my walkman on. I get so hyped, when I hear your songs! Going keep me happy like all day long!!

Aw hell yea I couldnt ask for a better video

when did AdRock turn into Jeff Goldblum?

mike d gives me so much joy omg

so much to tell, and still so much to see, keep on guys, Love your Work and history. You are timeless, Love from Portugal

It killed me when Adam gets emotional in B Boys Movie.

ChompChompNom, “What is Reddit?” MikeD’s laugh is taking me back to 1996 listening to Heart Attack Man over and over and laughing my ass off wth my little sister.

I love their songs So Whatcha Want and Intergalactic

There should be a podcast with the three of them. Great history and chemistry.

Beastie Boys FOREVER

Lol... 😂😂 Mike like fell out of his chair a couple times... Thanks guys, this is truly amazing 😘😘🇺🇸😍

I love that you guys did this. I need more Beasties. I am your biggest fan

Please do these weekly.

Beastie Boys Glasgow '99 had all the vibes: epic setlist flow, boys on fire, Mixmaster Mike in Final Boss mode, excellent crowd.💥

When I was a kid I had the biggest crush on the Beastie boys.. wishing I was grown and meeting them after a show.. pure innocence. EDIT- MUCH 💗

WOW, that was so much fun, can you do one a week until lockdown ends please xxx

This makes me feel so old seeing The Beastie Boys with grey hair and glasses. I was in 7th grade when license to Ill came out.

Looks like Mike D be goin to the range after the interview yo!

i watched this live it was the best, i love them so much

Loved the documentary and the book. Maybe it's because I'm around the same age as the band and I started listening to them when Licensed to Ill came out, but I feel such genuine affection for the Beastie Boys. It's cliché but I feel like we "grew up" together.

beastie boys story-- amazing!! but I have the same question as many many other people-- I truly believe the only REAL movie that can do better than the NWA movie would be a true beastie boy movie spike-- you gonna make it happy?

god i love this interview sm i’ve watched it so many times and every time i cry laughing

Beatsie boys we love you. This week has been an amazing week!!!- this and the doco, and Posty’s nirvana tribute. Long live the 90s. Beasties and Nirvana are in my soul.

It was an awesome 2 hours of my time spent 😁👌👌

Adrock gets major uk Yorkshire pudding points made a John Cooper Clarke reference.

Great Documentary... Great Group... hope they do the same for Faith No More... so many of those groups started one way and morphed to different sounds.... it is great...

Rap music was sampling Beastie Boys were the kings

this makes me sad and happy at the same time. lol.

Hey guys, I really loved your film. It was funny and deeply moving. RIP Adam Yauch.

They were like Bee Gees, magic only works if all 3 are together

Still kickin

god damn they're actually pretty funny, too bad this never got a lot traction.

remembering beautiful bb old days🎃🎃😃😃👏👏

I'm feeling intercontinental when I eat French toast

The beastie boys made the best music

Read their book... awesome stories about famous people they met

Is it just me or does anybody else think diamond and perry farrell look so much alike. No disrespect, love them both and are among the best performances I've seen along with prince

McLovins question is golden. It is litterally the Spike Jonze video with the least amount of Beastie Boys in it above the number 0.

Kind of cool stumbling on this today. I just uploaded videos "5 things you might not know about mikieson" and in one of the videos i mentioned the BB being in my top 5 musical entertainers of all time..Still listen to them all the time..

Chuck D's ..straight up. Ad Rock, always fast and on point. Peace to y'all

Mike D laughing all the time like The Heart Attack man. Love it x

THANK YOU! :)

I was born and raised in Atwater, parents are Manhattan and Brooklyn, summers in New York. What a blast

Loved the movie but viewers were deprived of the story about the ring! When I saw it live at Kings Theater I fell out of my seat laughing

Love these men.

Hello from Dharamshal, Tibetan in exile home place. Sadly the place has turned into a sterile Disneyland to the point that you hardly find a Tibetan flag for sale as some 'Free Tibet' related object that would get the crass mass tourism getting sensibilized to the cause. Got into a talk yesterday with the youth leader of the national Democratic Party for Tibet, where I had mentioned what represents the Tibetan cause for people of my generation, HH the Dalai Lama to the wonderful and compassionate Tibetans and largely Buddhist around the world. Then it appears your name as a band, MCA as a music media leader that got to enlighten the youth with the Tibetan issue. The kid was hardly turning into his late 20's. I had founded quite reassuring that the younger Tibetan generations still remember your name as a great musical and political influences so far. So I just wanted to thank you for the influence, the cultural heritage and the inspiration. Very best regards.

awwe they are such cute lil old dudes

Fan for 34 years... love this shit

AD Rock ....eatin like he just dont care 🎵

@31:26 this is so mad good!👍🔥

Beastie Mans. i love these guys

I was in the back of a Suzuki Samurai when going to purchase Aglio e Olio the day it dropped . I’m pretty sure it was a gray one

Sorry I’m a klutz when it comes to this stuff but did I get the Beastie Boys Story free on my iTunes/Apple Music account ? I don’t remember paying for it ..thanks 😀

Would never have thought one day one of the Beastie boys would be a bit of a silver fox 👀

I feel like I'm hanging out with my old school homies. Fun fact the closed captioning on this is hilarious but it's really sad if you're deaf cuz the subtitles doesn't do you guys justice. I'm pouring a 40oz in snowy Wisconsin with honor of MCA . Respect

still need to read the book. it's crazy they're a little older than my dad and I used to think they were my favorite rappers. Not that I've even listened to all their stuff. They still hold a special place in music though and they're punk or hip-hop. They might have been similar to guys like run-dmc to start but they definitely grew to fit themselves.

Beastie Boys changed the world

from Ceuta SPAIN...SALUDOS A TODOS LOS BEASTYBOYS OF THE WORLD!!!,peace!

They’re the best

Thanks for eating Adrock!

proof positive that no one can look cool wearing earpods

Oh this is so gold

Highlight of this AMA: "Snacks are essential." - Mike

They are even more adorable than I thought in high school

wow Spike Jonze buys the same vinegar that I do

Adrock looks like a Cricket from some cartoon. Loved you guys in Calgary!

Legendarios saludos desde Chile, grande bboys
