Heard about the new memoir book today and that got me to listening to all their older stuff all day at work, which has been great. I don't listen to them too often but there were the biggest part of our daily soundtrack in high school in the 90s.

But something just struck me: were they a bit? Like, did they really live as, and live up to, this image they projected in their music? As kids in suburban Texas who had never been to New York, we were utterly fascinated by everything we could assume life for guys like that in NYC must have been like. I don't know if this question makes sense but for the first time listening to their music, and looking at old photos of them, it really struck me as a serious and calculated act, which it might have been and that might be perfectly fine. I guess I just never looked at the theatrics of it all this way until now.
- My impression is that they were legit NYers and brought that look to the mainstream. They were also legit punk musicians as well as rappers.monospaced
- That's where they're underrated. They're fantastic musicians.CyBrainX

^ I saw them at a storyteller's show at Town Hall in NYC's theater district. It was like fantastic sketch comedy with great stories. They seemed to be mocking a certain rock star lifestyle but becoming what they were mocking. Then, they outgrew it and became even better. They gave us the book too which I didn't even expect. It's a 560 page hard cover. Quite a nice deal overall.

I've been doing the same. Think I'm going to the book event Monday and more than psyched to hear these two reminisce about their careers. I think it was just as much performance art as it was a band; we just didn't catch on at the time. I feel like they don't get the credit or acclaim they really deserve at this point and they still seem humble and genuinely nice dudes. Plus, the merch looks killer.

I think they were always ten steps ahead of everyone else, felt like they were in on a big inside joke that we craved to be in on but never could.

I still have my "Beastie-ality" CDs

A big regret of mine is that I never got to see them live.

My last concert was lalapalooza in 1994.
Smashing pumpkins headlined, but the beastie boys won the day.
Sabotage caused a tidal wave of insanity throughought the whole state.
I’m an old cat now but still can’t admit to my father that CHECK YOUR HEAD destroyed his speakers haha.
- I was there that year. Pittsburgh.DRIFTMONKEY
