Has anyone done one of these before? Is there a technique to getting your questions answered? And if so, is there any questions beyond the basic shit that we really want answers to?

Can maybe pool together some really good questions and a few of us can ask the same ones?

Not that I am expecting any serious answers, although they have seemed to been a bit more serious on this press run then in the past.

I would really like to know a little bit more info about what happened to them and Hurricane and Mario C, although, I feel that might be too personal or they won't answer it.

On a side note, It would be nice if they posted stuff like this on their actual site, but times have changed and I guess instagram is the best medium to get updates.

I’m old. I have heard of Reddit but have no idea what sort of site it is. 😂 I’m working all day Thursday so it may be a wee bit late for me. Hope you all get some good questions in!

Re: Reddit AMA After Party
 

I’m assuming we have to have a reddit account to ask questions? Do we have to have one to view q&a? I have not been on reddit. I am also old. Lol. Hoping someone with experience here can bring me up to speed. Thnx

i'm not too familiar with reddit but looks like this might be the place to go

Re: Reddit AMA After Party
 

it's a PR blitz, I would ask a question framed around the book or making of the movie if you want yours to get chosen or answered.

Re: Reddit AMA After Party
 

Of course it's all PR being related.

Questions relating to stories in the book will probably get the most traction.

That being said, any of you have some questions from the book that you want answered? This is the opportunity to do so. Although no matter what the question I'm expecting answers relating to an obscure 70's reference, an inside joke, sandwiches and submarines.

Re: Reddit AMA After Party
 

I know nothing about reddit either, but I do belive the link is reddit.com/r/hiphopheads/ and the format is Ask me Anything

You’ve waited patiently and the day has finally come!

Watch Beastie Boys Story tonight on the Apple TV app at 5pm PT / 8pm ET. Then join the band and Spike Jonze on Reddit for the AMA After Party at 8pm PT / 11pm ET on r/hiphopheads.

Re: Reddit AMA After Party
 

Looking forward to 8pm et !

beastie boys madness

looking around reddit for ama info and found this.

Re: Reddit AMA After Party
 

I went for it! :D

“Mike, Adam, did you guys ever manage to retrieve Hot Sauce Committee Part One from that boxcar in Montana?”

Not expecting a serious reply (if even a reply at all) but let’s see if Adam can add to his tale regarding his only copy of the album!

Re: Reddit AMA After Party
 

I asked a plethora of questions. But I got one for your home country Eoin

"Mike D
I know you're crazy into surfing now. Best or favourite place you have surfed? Have you check out the surfing scene in Ireland?"

Re: Reddit AMA After Party
 

Losing HSC pt 1 wasn’t a joke, was it? Ugh.

Re: Reddit AMA After Party
 

I'm too old for this - never did an AMA. Do they reply to the messages on reddit? or was it a live stream I missed?

Re: Reddit AMA After Party
 

You didn't miss much
it was a classic beastie boys interview. Super entertaining but not entirely focused on the question. But amazing all around. Just great to have content.

Re: Reddit AMA After Party
 

Questions were posted to reddit and they were fielding them via livestream with Spike. As stated, not too productive but fun. They called Jonah Hill and Biz called them too.

Re: Reddit AMA After Party
 

The video got taken down off youtube, hopefully they reupload the whole thing.

Re: Reddit AMA After Party
 

Damn - I had posted a question asking them to stop by the BBS sometime... doesn't sound like they got to that anyway

Re: Reddit AMA After Party
 

Looks like they uploaded the individual text comments to the reddit thread - someone had to type out them talking which I’m sure was fun.
Man, I’m pretty happy. They answered 2 of my questions... probably as close as I’ll get to my bucket list of meeting them one day - I’ll take it.

Re: Reddit AMA After Party
 

Cheers, well done
Are you the guy who found the too many rappers video?

Re: Reddit AMA After Party
 

Nah - I asked which players they’d be on the ‘97 Bulls and I asked spike how it felt getting a shoutout for the guy who had all the ideas for Star Wars and everything.

Re: Reddit AMA After Party
 

I haven't got a working computer right now, can't even watch You Tube on the little one as it turns itself off after a couple of minutes :( Should've repaired it already in the winter....
And the show was on at 2 am and I had to get up at 5. I hope that somebody could ri p it for future reference...

But some of those are totally impossible to choose!

Re: Reddit AMA After Party
 

Haha nice! Must admit I never got the hang of surfing!

Re: Reddit AMA After Party
 

Yep, that's me! My little contribution to Beastie fandom.

Re: Reddit AMA After Party
 

I never knew the story of how it was discovered. Absolutely legendary! Congrats to you on that and thank you for the detective work!

Re: Reddit AMA After Party
 

Here are the questions I posted at separate times

you guys have been talking about releasing some some stuff from the vault for years now. Is this actually going to happen?
Lot of people would love to hear the "Jerry Lewis" or a complete version of "Desperado"
And we will pay $$$ for it too. Even recordings of you guys playing basketball or fucking around in the dungeon like you did with bonus Ill Communication and Hello Nasty material.

Us fans are hungry and would pay for more material.
Would love to have a compilation of some half baked jams, demos or unreleased songs.
Also, a proper live album would be nice. I remember you guys recorded some live stuff in Chicago and Detroit for the Mix Up Tour back in '07. Anything ever happen or will happen with that?

Ad-Rock
One of my favourite chapters from the book is checking the your story checking the phone book to go crate digging in some small town while on tour. It inspired me to start my record collecting tour in Toronto.
What is hands down the best record shop you've ever been to?
Your favourite record shop?
And the best city besides New York for record stores?

In the book and the book you shit on "What goes around comes around"
I actually don't mind the song so much, why do you hate it so much?

Mic Controller Adam = MCA
Adam Rocks = Ad Rock
Mike Diamond = Mike D

I know it's pretty self explanatory on how the names are connected, but how did you decide to go with those names or the process? I know you were pretty influenced by Rick Rubin who was influenced by pro wrestling, was there a chance you could have gone by Rowdy Roddy Diamond, or Hulk Horovitz?

ps thank you for choosing the names you did.

Whatever happened with Hurricane & Mario C? Everything good?

Re: Reddit AMA After Party
 

I think they are still just holding onto that story, like Mike hitting his head and thinking he was Country Mike.
