I thought they brought in good insight on how songs evolved and were created. Unless you were looking for more technical aspects.

It seemed a lot of it was jamming and fucking around (like for Sabotage) and then polishing it up later.

Or really digging a groove like Jimmy Smith's Root Down, making a beat and then putting the lyrics on top of it later.

Yes I agree with all of that. Sorry, I meant that they rarely spoke about the creative process in interviews etc before the anthology booklet. So actually reading that shit was amazing for me.

Would be a nice surprise to see ample participation from Mario. I'm sure he can offer up all types of juicy studio anecdotes and technical nerdery, among other valuable, general input.

Agreed. Always the most viable candidate for 'fourth' Beastie Boy in my mind, although naturally MMM earned his stripes on the live circuit.

To be released 10-30-2018, no title yet.

I've always been a little curious why Mario was so definitively shrugged off by the boys post HN. Never seem to hear any props or even an acknowledgement of him since. Kinda strange given how involved he was over such a lengthy, vital stretch of their output.

I feel like I read on the boards at one point that there was a falling out between him and MCA over a gal, but it sounded more like chatty gossip, especially considering Yauch had already tied the knot by this time, so I never really subscribed to that explanation much.

I always just thought they wanted to work by themselves. But who knows. You did, however, inspire me to unearth this gossipy thread haha.

Nice digging. That was a fun trip down memory lane.
