>> James: WELCOME BACK, WE ARE JOINED BY TWO MEMBERS OF THE ONE
OF THE MOST INFLUENTIAL HIP-HOP GROUPS IN MUSIC HISTORY.
THEIR NEW MOVIE BEASTIE BOYS STORY IS OUT FRIDAY ON APPLE TV.
PLEASE WELCOME BEASTIE BOYS MICHAEL DIAMOND AND ADAM
HOROVITZ.
THANK YOU SO SCH FOR BEING HERE.
>> HI.
>> James: I'M WELL, REALLY EXCITED TO TALK TO YOU.
NOW THE FILM IS COMPLETELY BRILLIANT.
I HAVE NEVER QUITE SEEN A DOCUMENTARY LIKE IT.
IT IS PART COMEDY SHOW, PART ALMOST TED TALK.
YOU CAN EXPLAIN TO PEOPLE WHAT THE MOVIE IS AND HOW IT CAME
ABOUT.
>> WE STARTED, FIRST WE HAD A BOOK CALLED BEASTIE BOYS BOOK.
AM DON'T HATE US, WE ARE NOT THE MOST IMAGINATIVE TITLE BUT IT
WORKS.
AND THAT WAS COMING OUT AND WE WANTED, INSTEAD OF JUST GOING
AND SHOWING UP IN BLAZERS WITH LIKE SUEDE PATCHES ON THE
ELBOWS, WE DECIDED WE WOULD PUT ON A SHOW FOR THE CHILDREN AS WE
ARE APT TO DO AND WE GOT TOGETHER WITH SIEK JONES THE I
LOSE TRUCE WRITER AND DIRECTOR, AND WE Z WERE,ING HE TRIED STO
TAKE OUR BOOK 500 AND SOMETHING PAGES AND MAKE IT WORK ON STAGE,
IN LIKE CONDENSE IT DOWN TO A TWO HOUR SHOW.
AND IT ACTUALLY, I DON'T KNOW, IT WAS DIFFERENT FOR US AND IT
WAS CHALLENGING BUT WE HAD FUN AND THE AUDIENCES, EVEN JUST
DIFFERENT CITIES THAT WE DID IT, IT WAS REALLY FUN.
BUT WE DIDN'T FILM IT.
SO WE REALIZED AFTERWARDS, WE GOT TOGETHER WITH SPIKE AND
REALIZED WE SHOULD DO THIS.
AND DO IT PROPERLY.
AND FILM IF.
SO WE SPENT MONTH FP WRITING IT WITH SPIKE.
AND OF COURSE IT TURNED OUT TO REALLY DO IT PROPERLY WE SHOULD
HAVE PROBABLY SPENT ANOTHER YEAR REHEARSING THIS THING AND ALL OF
THIS STUFF.
BUT WE DID LIKE WHAT YOU ARE SUPPOSED TO DO NAY YEAR PROBABLY
IN LIKE THREE MONTHS.
>> James: NOW THE LAST TIME YOU PERFORMED WAS IN 2009 AT
BONNAROO.
DO YOU MIWS PERFORMING?
AND TOURING ON THAT SCALE?
IT ARE THERE MOMENTSES IN YOUR DAY WHERE YOU THINK OH MAN, I
MISS THAT FEELING.
>> IT IS DIFFERENT INTERESTING GO TO [BLEEP] VONS.
>> YEAH.
>> James: DIFFERENT THAN GOING TO VONS FOR SURE, THAT IS WHAT I
MEAN.
WHEN ARE YOU IN VON ARE YOU LIKE.
>> YEAH, I'M THAT GUY FROM BEASTIE BOYS, YOU DON'T KNOW.
>> NO.
>> NO, OKAY.
>> I AM GOING TO BUY THIS CELERY NOW.
>> LIKE IF THE CASHIER AT VONS, BE LIKE YOU KNOW, ARE YOU THE
GUY FROM BEASTIE BOYS, YOU ARE LIKE YEAH, AND THEY GIVE YOU
EXTRA COUPON OR ANYTHING.
>> THE LADY AT VONS HOOKED ME UP WITH [BLEEP] COLOR O WIPES.
>> James: WOW.
THAT IS THE BIGGEST PURCHASE YOU CAN GET RIGHT NOW.
>> MIKE, YOU DIDN'T KNOW BEASTIE BOYS, I WAS JUST BEING NICE.
IS THAT HARD FOR YOU TO THINK ABOUT, IS THAT TOUGH TO IMAGINE.
>> I WOULD LIKE TO THINK THAT MAYBE SHE HAD SYMPATHY FOR YOU,
ADAM.
>> OH, OKAY.
>> James: THAT IS VERY DIFFERENT HOOKUP.
>> SHE MIGHT HAVE THOUGHT I JUST LOOKED REALLY DIRTY.
>> James: NOW I UNDERSTAND AND CORRECT ME IF I AM WRONG, THERE
IS A TORCH UNRELEASED BEASTIE BOYS MUSIC.
IS THERE EVER A MOMENT IN TIME WHERE YOU THINK WE THE FANS WILL
GET TO HEAR THESE SONGS?
>> YEAH I DON'T KNOW IF I WOULD CALL THEM SONGS.
WE HAVE HOURS AND HOURS OF MUSIC THAT WE PLAY TOGETHER.
AND SO MIKE AND I TALKED ABOUT SIFTING THROUGH ALL OF THAT
STUFF AND COMING UP WITH SOMETHING TO PUT OUT.
TO ME IT'S INTERESTING.
HOW SONGS DEVELOP AND SO THERE ARE HOURS OF US JUST WORKING ON
DIFFERENT SONGS.
>> YOU SENT US A CLIP WHICH ARE YOU GOING TO PLAY NOW SWAY CLIP,
NEVER BEFORE SEEN OF THE FIRST TIME YOU EVER WRAPPED ON STAGE,
AND THIS IS PARTICULARLY CLOSE TO HOME FOR AWFERL US WHO WORK
ON THIS SHOW BECAUSE ONE OF OUR PRODUCERS TRP WAS A FOUNDING
MEMBER OF YOUR BAND AND SHE FEATURES PROMINENTLY IN THIS
CLIP.
LET'S TAKE A LOOK.
>> OUR FIRST SHOW WE DWO HALF AS A HARD-CORE BAND AND LEAVE THE
STAGE AND DO THE OTHER AS A RAP GROUP.
IS.
>> WE'RE ITS BEASTIE BOYS.
♪ NOW HIT IT JUST DON'T STOP.
♪ SHE ROCKINGS TILL IT MAKES IT STOP.
♪.
>> OKAY, OKAY, OKAY.
>> YOU GET THE-- WE GET THE IDEA.
MOST RAPPERS HOLD THEIR RHYMES IN LITTLE PIECES OF PAPER,
RIGHT?
ISN'T THAT A THING?
>> TRE YOU GO, WORLD.
>> James: HOW DO YOU FEEL GOING BACK AND LOOKING THROUGH
ALL THIS FOOTAGE?
>> IT'S NICE.
IT'S NICE.
YOU KNOW.
WE JUST HAVE ALWAYS HAD FRIENDS AROUND AND FAMILY, AND IT'S JUST
SNIES TO LOOK AT OLD CLIPS AND THINKING ABOUT OUR FRIENDS AND
OUR BAND AND ALL THE WEIRD PLACES THAT WE HAVE BEEN AND
WEIRD THINGS THAT WE HAVE DONE.
IT IS NICE SOOM OF IT IS NOT PLEASANT TO WATCH BUT YOU KNOW,
IT'S PART OF OUR HISTORY.
I AM PROUD OF WHAT WE HAVE DONE.
SO IT'S NICE.
>> James: YOU SHOULD BE REALLY PROUD.
WHAT OTHER THINGS ARE HARDER TO WATCH, WHICH BIT DID YOU NOT
ENJOY SEEING.
>> I GUESS, THE HARDEST PART HONESTLY IT WASN'T EVEN A CLIP T
WAS WHEN ADAM, I THINK IT IS IN THE FINAL, ADAM READ THE LYRICS
FROM THE SONG WE HAD, AND THERE MAY BE NOT THE MOST ELEVATED
LYRIC.
>> SURE.
>> AND YOU KNOW, THEY PROBABLY HONESTLY, DID A DISSERVICE WHEN
THAT RECORD CAME OUT WAS REALLY BIG, SO HOPEFULLY SORRY IF THAT
MESSED ANYBODY'S GROOVE UP BUT ANYWAY, THAT SHOW, THAT FOR ME
WAS WORSE THAN ANY OF THE CLIPS JUST HEARING THESE LYRICS THAT
WE HAD WRITTEN WHAT THEY SOUND LIKE AS SORT OF GROWING PERSON
STANDING THERE ON THE STAGE IS THAT WAS CRINGEE WORTHY FOR
SURE.
>> WHEN I WAS WATCHING I STARTED THINKING THIS SHOULD BE A MOVIE
OR A LIMITED TV SERIES OF ITS OWN.
IS THAT SOMETHING YOU WOULD BE OPEN TO AND WHO DO YOU THINK
WOULD BE GOOD AT PLAYING YOU?
>> DWANE THE ROCK JOHNSON WOULD BE ME.
THE SAME LADY AT VONS THAT GAVE ME THE CLOROX THOUGHT I WAS
DWANE THE ROCK JOHNSON, THAT IS MAYBE WHY.
>> THAT SHOW THE COLORRIX CAME AROUND.
>> WHAT ABOUT PLAGUE MICHAEL.
>> LISTEN, HOW ABOUT MELISSA McCARTHY.
>> DO YOU KNOW KEVIN DURANT.
>> YEAH.
>> LEBRON JAMES, ANY ONE OFS NO SUPERSTARS.
>> THAT SAY GOOD IDEAS, BRING SOME NBA TALENT.
>> James: WE REALLY COVERED EVERYBODY.
GUYS, I CAN'T TELL YOU HOW MUCH I ENJOYED THE FILM.
THAI SO MUCH FOR CALLING IN TO TALK US TO TODAY IT IT IS AN
ABSOLUTE THRILL.
