Anyone own this DVD, if so is it any good? I've just ordered a copy.
Hailing from NYC, the Beastie Boys have somehow managed to stay at the top for almost 20 years. Starting off as a Punk outfit, they soon changed direction and explored in the mid 80's as foul-mouthed novelty rappers. They have supported Madonna, made spoof music videos, learned to play instruments, gone back to their roots and mire recently have been involved in political and social issues. This is the band who have done it all! Nobody expected the Beastie Boys to last, but they've matured into one of the most intriguing and influential acts on the planet.
"Beastie Boys - Horseplay" tells their incredibly story, via interviews, rare footage and much, much more. From the start these boys were labeled as "no-hopers", those least likely to survive the struggle to the top - but they proved their critics wrong. In a tale of break dancing, beer cans and Buddhism, you can only expect one thing - the unexpected.

There are a couple of old threads on this somewhere.
I haven't watched it in a while, but from what I remember it has some good info on their hardcore days.
There are no interviews with the Beasties. They do talk to Hurra and he comes off a bit disgruntled.

Not ripped off, its one of those UNAUTHORIZED type DVDs. Which features NO MUSIC or Interviews of the actual band members... I'd say track down a copy of Skills to Pay the Bills (VHS only) if you dont already own it its like the holy grail of Beastie videos... IMO Better than the LTI or Sabotage videos, but both of those are very good also. Check e-bay you can get it for cheap. (y)

It is a fine DVD, you are not being ripped off.
They dont tell about some point of their time as beasties, but it is cool with the punk area stuff..

I wouldn't say it's a waste. It's nice to see John Berry and get his perpective on their hardcore days.
Beastiemania gets mentioned in the credits too...I think.

i got horseplay, its ok really, tis a bit crappy and goes on about the same things alot with added annoying tacky hardcore/hip hop soundtrack music that keeps repeating, the interviews are semi interesting though, not enough so to buy it, it be better to borrow off someone or download or summin.

It's OK. I wouldn't recommend it to anyone who wants to see the boys on it, or hear their music! There's some good info on it, but it's the type of DVD you wouldn't watch over and over.

ha! rare footage...of what?
I wouldn't say it's a waste of money. It's interesting to see the story from the other point of view...eh...especially not so favourable. This journalist(I forgot his name) is quite annoing at times, though.
And it's always nice to see Adrock's afro

Have you noticed that the story of the hardcore days is quite detailed compared to the rest. They almost skipped the rest. I don't know if I remember correctly but they said few words about CYH and IC and then few words about the present.There's no balance.
It's ok to watch but as someone said you can't expect much from unauthorized dvd.
