New Music

[cj hood]

Adrock from RS:

What was your reaction when he told you he had cancer?
He said, "I'm gonna be okay." He's been right about most shit so far. So I believe him. You would get swept up in his excitement and positivity. We recorded a few months ago. It wasn't any different from before. We spent more time making fart jokes and ordering food, which was true to form. That's why it always took so long for us to put records out.


Mike from RS:

How much music did you make at your final recording session with him last fall?
Adam instigated it. It could only come from him, in terms of where he was at with treatment. It was stuff we had written or demo-ed, and there were new ideas. He wasn't sure he was able to do vocals. But after a bit, we ended up doing them. And he was fine. It was a way for him to say, "Yeah, I'm doing it."

[sab0tage]

It would be a beautiful thing to see this released when Adam and Mike feel ready(y)

[MCAadROCKMiKEd7]

Can't wait to hear it if they release it.

I'd buy it right away.
1) because I'd be flipping the fuck out
2) because it'd be AMAZING
3) because the price of the album will skyrocket

I feel like it would be available for digital download first, maybe posted on the tumblr or website.

Maybe there will be an exclusive newsletter.

Whenever they're ready, i'd love to hear it.

[MrSmiley1]

Hell, I would buy an album of fart jokes from the boys at this point.

[MCAadROCKMiKEd7]

^^^ Lol! Yes me too!

Maybe a laugh track even!
Or a compilation of belching words hahahaha.

[cj hood]

i think Yauch would want it to be released....he was the leader of that crew. but like someone already said...when they're ready.

[YoungRemy]

I'm amazed and hopeful and sad at the same time reading this great news. I see Yauch in the studio just as I imagined him, fighting, no, battling- through his music.

the music will just deepen his legacy, I'm sure even though he was positive to the end, he knew these could be his last recordings. I can't wait to hear what the man had to say in this stage of his life and career...

[sharonm]

MrSmiley1

that's funny!!

you really made me laugh first time on here in a while

funny!!!

(i'd buy it too!)

[pshabi]

I can't wait to hear what the man had to say in this stage of his life and career...

Right on, man. It's going to be some heavy heavy shit hearing his voice on that recording.

[ClarenceAlabama]

http://www.thisisbooksmusic.com/2012/05/20/video-general-fucking-principal-community-service-live/

General Fucking Principal, or G.F.P., are a punk/hardcore band out of California who are working on their first album with longtime Beastie Boys associate, Mario Caldato Jr.. They are sure to get a bit of attention because of the man on the bass, legendary stateboarder Tony Alva.

No word on a release date, but you can at least hear what they will be bringing to the table.

The singer is DFL vocalist Tommy Davis (Crazy Tom) which Adrock was a member of that band for a while.

The drummer is AWOL who was in BS 2000 with Adrock.

[JoLovesMCA]

I bet it's all very deep. Oh man it's going to be hard to listen to it but for Yauch I will do it. And if he really wasn't afraid what if the message is positive and filled with hope and interest about what's next in store? What if it's some sort of goodbye or message to us all? I don't know I am just trying to comfort myself here about it... Bring it on!

[MrSmiley1]

I forgot about DFL! I don't have the album that was released on Grand Royal, but I have the one that was on Epitaph. I might have to go to the basement and dust it off.

[laurie_hammy]

Wow that is amazing he was still recording.

I was so friggin gratefull I got to do the whole stay up till midnight with excitement thing to get HSC last year. To think that could happen again is a million times more exciting than any release of theres yet.

[M|X|Y]

the DFL'z.. that's cool, they sound tight in that video

[M|X|Y]

being hip hop and all would kind of give them liberties on using already recorded music more than bands in other genres, eh?

[Brass Monk]

Perhaps DJ Double R can step in to help fill the production void left with Yauch gone.

Since I heard about these recent recording sessions, my imagination has been going wild.

[Kid Presentable]

Wasnt Double R at the rock hall induction with them?

[Micodin]

Peoples still wishing for Rick Rubin to work with the Beasties again...

I for one would rather have Mike and Adam do this together without outside help. I think this is a personal project for them (if they continue to work on it or release it).

[The Ron]

No doubt RR did great things for LTI, but I always thought it'd be cool to see them work with Mario C again...

[Kid Presentable]

Peoples still wishing for Rick Rubin to work with the Beasties again...


Naawww people are just talking man.

[Micodin]

Naawww people are just talking man.

And it's cool to talk about Rick Rubin and the Dust Brothers or Mario C.

I'd just prefer it to be all in-house.

Just my humble opinion.

[Rodie]

And it's cool to talk about Rick Rubin and the Dust Brothers or Mario C.

I'd just prefer it to be all in-house.

Just my humble opinion.

On the one hand I kind of agree but at same time it makes sense to work with any of their old producers or even new ones. But we're getting ahead of ourselves who even knows if this will be released. I kind of like the idea of it remaining unreleased, just to imagine them doing their thing just for fun and enjoying each other's company.

[MCAadROCKMiKEd7]

It'll give us the chance to see and hear how he felt through his battle, making us all that much closer to our beloved Yauch.

It is so Yauch to continue to record and deepen his legacy with strength and confidence during any hard time.

[Kid Presentable]

If it is ever released as an album, I think it would be cool for it to be self-titled.

[Kid Presentable]

And it's cool to talk about Rick Rubin and the Dust Brothers or Mario C.

For sure breh it's all good *daps*. It's good to see you posting again, fool. Let's get out of the mire. :cool:

[Billy Corbitt]

Personally, I have always wanted Adrock and D to do "solo" rap songs on their albums, and also something along the lines of Finger Lickin' Good but with Adrock and Mike of course.

I really like the idea of another release.

[Laver1969]

Right on, man. It's going to be some heavy heavy shit hearing his voice on that recording.

Especially if the deep stuff turns out to be a lot of fart jokes. :)

[Billy Corbitt]

The drummer is AWOL who was in BS 2000 with Adrock.

I was just wondering today what AWOL has been up to.

[M|X|Y]

who was also bboys' drummer on tour for a minute,

also the drummer when they did snl (heart attack man)

[Billy Corbitt]

I always liked him for some reason/

[damodafoca]

And 'Aglio E Olio'.

He was drum/sound tech for Mars Volta those years, and RATM, QOTSA too.

[laurie_hammy]

I always liked him for some reason/

Yeah he seems cool. Cool like BS2000.

[Jiberish]

They did the Maestro together.

[pshabi]

They did the Maestro together.

And Dope Little Song....which definitely lives up to its name.

[adrock1988]

Hearing anything new would be emotional for many of us, I'd probably listen the first time in Golden Gate park or somewhere special.

[WesleyOHSnaps!]

It will be emotional for us all that is for sure. If there is a Yauch solo joint I don't know how I'll handle that, but only time will tell if something comes out.

[MrSmiley1]

If there is a Yauch solo joint I don't know how I'll handle that, but only time will tell if something comes out.

I wonder if there are anymore bossa nova songs from the HN sessions with Miho Hatori. If so, I think it is time to put those out like they did with Country Mike.

[Brother McDuff]

I'm willing to bet that their are dozens of different aborted songs at varying levels of completion per any and every little genre tangent/adventure they chased. With experimental tendencies as heightened as theirs you know the tape was ALWAYS rolling.

[JoLovesMCA]

I am afraid but also excited about even the slightest chance that they could release an entire album of Yauch tracks. But even if they don't, I don't mind just hearing about it. I agree with Rodie, just knowing they had those special moments together in the studio is good enough for me. (y)

And if we do get something maybe by the time August 4th weekend comes Adrock and Mike D might release a couple of songs to us to listen to at the event. I know that is probably too much to ask but would be cool to have that and play it at the new Adam Yauch park and listen to it together.

So hard. Still so hard. :(

[facedownfall]

I'm stoked on this if it ever gets released. Though like someone said about production, it should be all kept in house, true to Yauch's vision for the band. Maybe Duro engineers it but that's about it.

I'd like to see Mike and Adam continue as Beastie Boys with maybe Yauch's daughter on the bass for instrumentals and hardcore songs, carrying on her dad's legacy.

Live shows would just have the crowd filling in Yauch's vocals or maybe MMM can use the acapella stuff over the beats.

I think he would want them to carry on. If you look at his writing in the HSC2 Deluxe DVD/Blu-ray thing it seems like he knew he was dying but fooled us all.

[M|X|Y]

duro wasnt even that good, my vote is mario c

I didn't think he was going to make it, and I hate saying that but my feelings were just strong about it for so long. :/ Anyway what I wanted to add was that when I first read that foreword I got the feeling that he knew it might happen at anytime and he just wanted to take the time to express the love he had for his family and he wanted to get this old filmio idea done for the fans before it might be too late. He jumped on the opportunity to accomplish this and leave us with something grand to cherish for years to come. I have the FFYR book sitting in my livingroom on the ottoman and everytime somebody comes over i tell them not to touch the bible and ask for permission first! ;)

[fonky pizza]

HAHA:D

[fonky pizza]

A very long minute then...

He was the hardcore section drummer until Alfredo did.

[Late-Night Lion]

Mike's quote about Yauch wanting them to "genuinely want us to try whatever crazy thing we wanted but never got around to." has me feeling positive about future material out of the Beastie camp.

I sincerely hope they do release their late recordings, I would cherish it to no end. Perhaps they could have the majority of the profits on the release go to charities.

[Billy Corbitt]

Yeah he seems cool. Cool like BS2000.
I remember him very well. Love that name AWOL too..

[Billy Corbitt]

They did the Maestro together.

that is a great example of Adrock and D together, for some reason i never considered songs like that rap though. Thanks for the enlightenment!

And Dope Little Song....which definitely lives up to its name.

Oh yea, Dope little song is an awesome rap duo and is exactly like something I have always wanted to see on an album.

I am ... also excited about even the slightest chance that they could release an entire album of Yauch tracks. .

I am excited about the Beastie Boys putting out more music, I think it would be great if they dropped a new cd this year.
I also believe they should use any unreleased vocals of Yauch sparingly. ie one track per album so to speak.
Instead of all at once on the next one.
I also think that would make it easier for them to make the transition back into touring if they ever decided to do that.

[Kid Presentable]

I can't believe there's the potential for the B-Boys to put out an analogue to 'Donuts'. Fucking bizarre.

I'm gonna sound equal parts dick-ish and encouraging, but if they do release it, it's going to need to be on some next shit. Isn't it? Or am I being an outright dick? I'm thinking they'd definitely want to do justice to MCA, is all.

My interest for now is in whether a full version of Lisa Lisa/Full Force exists.

facedownfall, I had the exact same thoughts about how they would carry on, but eventually dismissed them. I'd be happy if they could muster something up studio-wise, and leave the live setting alone. Just me, though.

I'll support Mike and Adam for the rest of their days.

The Beastie Boys would never half step at this point after all that happens. Which means one of two things:

1) Either it will be on some next shit. (y)

2) Or it will never see the light of day. (n)

And yes, full support for the bboys forever.

[cj hood]

They'll release what they have but never perform live again...

Spot on.

[ClarenceAlabama]

I agree. I don't think they will ever perform live as "Beastie Boys" again. Just like Run-DMC, I think the group is over.

I could see them performing live in the future in different other bands. I think the rap stuff is officially finished.

[Brother McDuff]

I can see the marquee now... "Live Tonight: Adrock and Mike D of the Beastie Boys!"

[JoLovesMCA]

Mike is going to do more music and art shows and I am going to the next one! I am going to support Adrock in whatever he does as well. And whatever they do together hell yeah......Part of Yauch is still with them. When I see Mike and Adam I might only be seeing Mike and Adam..... but Yauch is there with them. That makes me feel really good.

[Megalon X]

After I got the Nexus-6 reference in Too Many Rappers, I think it's pretty logical to assume MCA knew his time was limited, even if Adrock and Mike weren't as aware. Could seem like a Donuts/Black Bastards posthumous type release could be coming. I don't know. I'm sure they really aren't at the point of discussing that yet although they were in the studio.

I would also expect maybe a few volumes of unreleased tracks and stuff in the future. Maybe even Hot Sauce Committee Vol. 1.

As for new music from Mike and Adrock, I decided not to speculate on that anymore.

[OldSkoolGirl]

My interest for now is in whether a full version of Lisa Lisa/Full Force exists.

I'll support Mike and Adam for the rest of their days.


^^^ HELLS YA TO BOTH OF THESE!!! ^^^

My love for the Boys, my love for the music... it's all there, always and forever.

And if there is a full version of Lisa Lisa, I will PEE MY PANTS WITH GLEE :p

[brooklyndust]

Like I mentioned in a different thread, I would even be excited if they released a whole album of them practicing like "learning remote control" type stuff. Of course I would prefer finished tracks. But something is better than nothing.

[Billy Corbitt]

*/I figured it was a given that HSCI was going to come out, and was originally thinking this thread was about the recording of new music...
