Reddit AMA After Party

[pesto pizza]

So when Adrock starts talking about HSCPT1 being lost, saying if they find it they will put it out.He looks like he telling the truth, it looks like even someone like spike does'nt know if its the truth or not.
saying how can guys in their 30s loose an album.
But then the boxcar thing again.
Why would he say if they find it, they will put it out? That does'nt sound like a joke

That’s exactly how I read that.

I’m still in shock that Mike D said my DJ name - was hilarious. I feel like that’s as good as it will ever get for me

Haha thank you, that was a wild time for me!

I don't know. It totally sounds like the album they made on the Submarine to me.

The songs that would have made up a separate album from the HSC sessions... I mean I would be staggered if they were actually lost. A lost album in the traditional sense perhaps, but otherwise just standard B-Boys humour.

More to the point, and it's been said before, but that material is of far more interest to me than endless jams that were left on the cutting room floor for a reason.

Plus, if they had a potential-massive-hit in HSCP1, I assume they would have re-recorded it. I mean, they always have been lazy people, but I doubt they could lose a "Sabotage" or "Intergalactic" and do nothing about it.

Me too. It's possible but would be extremely reckless for them to put everything on one harddrive, with no backup, and lose everything. I would be really, really odd for any professional musician to do that.

The raw material probably wouldn't be all that great, but if they got in there (especially with Mario) and started chopping stuff up, layering it, etc., it could be a goldmine. That's pretty much how Check Your Head and Ill Communication were made. The only thing now is that they couldn't record new lyrics. They probably have some options though. I guess it depends on how much effort they put into the tracks.

I agree. I have a VERY hard time believing they had the entire album only on one hard drive that they were travelling with. I don't believe that they wouldn't have copies back at the studio. That is why I think this is just typical Beastie Boys misdirection.

Part 2 was Part 1, but they missed the deadline, which I always just assumed was because they were waiting for Yauch to heal. We haven't seen any other track names or info for what would have been part 2, except Bundt Cake, which was left off when part 1 became part 2.

And even if they did loose it, I am sure they would be able to recreate and re-record some of the material. Perfect example is Paul McCartney and what he did with the Band on The Run Album

This is always what I have believed. Just like Ad-Rock in the book said about the samples. People were not getting the joke.

As for Bundt Cake, it could have been taken out or maybe was amalgamated with another song.
For instance the bit at the end of Say It could have possibly been Bundt Cake
just like the bit at the end of B-Boys in the Cut became it's own separate track the Larry Routine
