Re: What drugs did the Boys do?
 

i recall yauch mentioning at one point that he used to drop acid and go snowboarding all of the time around pb/cyh era.

Re: What drugs did the Boys do?
 

Aye. I've got a book of Beastie quotes and theres a quote in there mentioning this.

"I drop the L when I'm ski'ing..."

Re: What drugs did the Boys do?
 

So who really cares if/what drugs they did? I am sure that they did but they have cleaned up their act and aren't addicts so I can give them credit for that.. We all encounter drugs at some point in our lives, unless you live in a cave or under a rock. I caught a guy shooting up in the bathroom at the grocery store the other day.. damn...

that's a line from 'A Year and A Day'

Re: What drugs did the Boys do?
 

Wow, why do you care what drugs they did?

Pathetic topic, move on(n)

Re: What drugs did the Boys do?
 

well, the music they made back then was often created while they were under the influence. so if you have any experience with some of that stuff, you would understand the tunes a little better. especially paul's boutique. not trying to encourage it or anything, it's just how it is. psychedelia is strong on a lot of paul's boutique, and also tracks like s'watcha want and pass the mic. it's in the sound.

those guys were party animals back then. i'd bet they tried just about everything.

If everyone who posted in this thread could post a picture of themselves that would be great, I just wanna see...

Nowadays the only drugs these Beastie Men are on is the Lipitor! I think they need more vegan sausages to keep their cholesterol down ho ho (just joking there fellas).

Bringing this topic back from the dead.

"I literally ended up on the very hostile strain of angel dust laced weed"

Mike and Adam loved PCP.

Kid Presentable - still alive? Still in denial?!

Re: What drugs did the Boys do?
 

pcp? who the sldkfjsl does pcp!
ithink they've done everything but only a few sustainable ie lsd, mdma, shrooms and weed. everything else is bad ie boy and girl. of course there will be more drugs discovered, so keep an eye out and the other open...

Re: What drugs did the Boys do?
 

i have no memory of this topic back in the day and that's good.

Re: What drugs did the Boys do?
 

Not sure if it was just saving face, but isn't there an MCA quote about a fan saying something like "I smoked angel dust because of you!" and he was like "We never smoked dust, it was a joke..."

Also that link to the stage show... I think Mike just threw in "angel dust laced weed" as a joke to explain why he seemed so hostile in the video. They've been pretty open about talking about mushrooms and weed and there are enough LSD references that it seems pretty obvious Yauch at least was experimenting with that. Adrock also seems high as hell in a lot of CYH era interviews, not sure if he just smoked a bunch of weed or if he was on something stronger.

Anyway... it seems unlikely they were big time hardcore drug users considering they managed to keep their shit together somewhat. If they ever had a burnout phase they kept it pretty well hidden.

I'm also glad they never became like a "drug band" with marijuana leaf merch and shit like that. Corny as hell IMO.

Seems like this thread would fit in well with the Facebook group that I keep on snoozing.

Re: What drugs did the Boys do?
 

i was taken aback by how forthcoming they were about the night they all tried crack together, during the PB days. can't exactly remember where that recollection surfaced from, but fairly certain it was directly from the band. in fact, the photo where Yauch is standing on the back of the console at Ocean Way(?) is cited as that very night. pretty sure Mario referenced that experience too in the RedBull interview, though some crafty editing sidestepped the exact implication. both accounts conclude that they were not very into it though.

i also remember the French liner notes from 'The In Sound' referring to them as glue-sniffers, which I always thought was simply a case of lazy translation. however, in an interview on B Real's Smokebox podcast, Eric Bobo recalls his times with the group and says some shit like, "those dudes introduced me to mushrooms, yeah, but I wasn't into sniffin' glue". not a direct quote, mind you, but that was the gist.

speaking of Bobo, have we ever pinpointed exactly who Mitchell was in reference to in the autobiography?

Re: What drugs did the Boys do?
 

i think it was Yauch that said he only ever smoked dust once, and it was by accident backstage at a Murphy's Law show. a joint that he didn't know had been laced.

they also have said that they only referenced dust so much because they thought it was funny, and Russell was smokin' it all the time.

"Did you guys really smoke dust at St. Anthony's Feast?"
