We just couldn't let these stories hit the cutting room floor! Beastie Boys fans and music fans in general will enjoy these random anecdotes from hip-hop pioneer Adam "Adrock" Horovitz. Hear how Adam decided to buy his first drum machine, how he discovered LL Cool J, or his thoughts on the art of sampling existing records.

I could listen to these guys talk drum machines all day. The Beastie Boys have some of the best drums in hip hop, no question.
bob bobo some chick did the drumming on some of the early recordings and shows but yep originally (and then later on again) mike D was on drum duty.
@bob bobo Peart was never about speed, he was about control.
Big ups to the dust brothers for their role.
@@thestr8person Kate Shellenbach. She later played drums for the band Luscious Jackson whom were signed to the Beastie Boys label Grand Royal.
facts, and Mike D is underrated on the kit. listen to check your head, he’s grooving
who else is able to tell a story that starts with "Paul Weller" and ends with, "L.L. Cool J"....my brain just melted.
Aye
How dare people love different music. Lol. Just kidding.
Rick Rubin
pause mixin takes me back, sitting in my bedroom building joints and putting together our own little sounds, raw as fuck, oh to be a 14 yr old again.
Adam, thank god you chose the drum machine
And he picked it up right when you could get an 808 for $250!
As opposed to (checks eBay...) $6130 in 2023
New artists please pay close attention.. This is a musician in it's rawest form, genre-less, honest and willing to talk about mistakes as well. Thank God I grew up in this era, the one that set my foundation. The list of impeccable musicians and bands is far too long to list yet is quickly disappearing in today's 'market'. Yes, there is a lot of good happening but nothing compared to the likes of Adrock from the BBoys.
They were DIFFERENT! Today you do have most that sound like they could have been from the same band! Same drums beats, vocal tone, lyrics, and look! Hmmm, what happened?
The problem with everything is that you give green light to creativity and with it you pull in the people who don't even know how to make music in any form yet they think they are doing it, usually someone's preset crap and the next thing you know it's overfluding the market to the point I can't find easily quality music or something I want to listen to. An actual artist is lost in a sea of trash and can't makea living from it while some talentless hack is pulling the attention. I am seriously sick of it and mostly forced to listen to things I have since looking up new things in a sea of trash and whatelse is way too hard, simply lifeconsuming. That is a big problem for an actual artist, you have to go outside of your comfort to promote your self to the point it makes zero money back what you already invested. Comes to the lucky or unlucky while quality doesn't make the run. And kids are programed to listen to garbage so they don't demand anything better. Which again gives green light to hackjobs to gather attention and cash.
True.
Word
Gotta love the Beastie Boys! Rest in peace MCA. They were a voice of a generation.
For those who don't know MCA passed away from Cancer recently he was 47. R.I.P. Beasite Boys forever. Thanks for the upload.
I've never heard Adam speak this way, thanks for posting.
That was some real work back then I salute all the cats from the 80's something you can do now in seconds took hours apon hours to do back then.
AdRock was always my favorite of the three.
RIP YAUCH! You will be missed!
Living legend here!
i love how the f-bombs are bleeped out, yet there's one that was missed. awesome.
The Beastie Boys are still one of my favorites. RIP MCA!!!
I like how he said for the record he doesnt care if someone samples him.
@jipsifallon :) What's it like? It's awesome. Adam's a super nice guy... exactly like what you see in these deleted scenes. Very down to earth, full of knowledge, happy to share, and the perfect balance self-effacing modesty with justified pride in his accomplishments. I've done tons of interviews but I was strangely nervous for this one. 'Cause he's a musical hero of mine... but I walked in, shook hands, and instantly relaxed. It's impossible to stay nervous when he's so "regular guy."
Definitely Master-Minds!!
Thanks for getting this onto the interwebs and letting dude have the time and space to share a little bit of his trip. Respect.
I could listen to Adam Adam and Mike talk music and hip hop history all day.
@@andrewpalmer4175 RIGHT!?!? This is still one of the favorite interviews I've done. And one of the only where I initially felt truly star-struck. /ryan
sampling = sometimes it's easier to ask for forgiveness than ask for permission.
I still have the ticket stub, summer of 1987, Mike Tyson, LL , JMJ. Golden Era of Hip Hop, I was seventeen. MCA was wasted out of his mind if I can recall, but so was just about everyone in the Garden. They had a bar on stage. The following summer Public Enemy opened for RUN DMC at Nassau coliseum
my god i used to make pause tapes all the time i thought i was the only one!
holy smokes what an interview
Its insane how kids into hip hop managed to figure out that pause tapes were a thing, because I did exactly the same; record a little bit of a beat or an instrumental (example; the beat at the end of Time To Get Ill was a personal fave, as were a few off Licensed To Ill), cue up the record deck, rewind the play deck back a little bit from the beat you wanted to drop in on and let it run but have the pause button depressed on the record deck so you could let it go right on the beat. Repeat until you have the length of beat you want.
And coincidentally, I actually started doing pause tapes about the time I got into the Beastie Boys, which was as a 12-year old kid having heard Fight For Your Right, and then run out and immediately bought the 12" with Time To Get Ill, and No Sleep 'Till Brooklyn on the b-side.
Eddie G I did the same thing at age 12 but didn't have a name for it nor realize anyone else made them too
whoa.... I was just watching some of their music videos, on DVD... and this pops into my feed !!
I first saw the Beasties open for Regan Youth @ CBGBs in either late 1982, or early 1983.... either way, I thought they were great.
Wish I still had the first 7in which I picked up from Ratcage... I don't know... someone from the CT hardcore scene [I'll leave it at that] borrowed a whole bunch of my 7" records, and something happened and the only way out for me was to say fuck it they are all yours..... wish I knew why....
Anyhow, yeah the Beastie Boys totally got it from day one.
I'm so sorry I never paid attention to them once they exploded, but I suppose my musical direction was quite different than theirs back then.
Either way, they still rule, and oh yeah.... great interview.
All you new kids to music, pay attention...Adrock is the man !!!
2019 they still rocking
Nice shout out for the legend that is Paul Weller
The dude that played robocop?
Fuzzy Dunlop No, that’s Peter.
@@fuzzydunlop1753 - Lead singer for The Jam and Style Council.
Uhhhhh...I think Fuzzy Dunlop forgot he asked that the moment it posted.
8:07 FUCK YES!!! I make industrial music and I'm always making new beats - to me new beats is the hardest part but once you have that then the samples, the sequencing, the instruments and then finally the lyrics just all seem to fall into place more or less in one long ass session. I'm FOR FUCKING SURE making a new song using one of their beats! I feel soooo fucking inspired now. Time to get off my ass and fucking do it!
Adrock, your are one very intelligent person. I have liked your stuff since I first heard it in 1986. When I look at you now it's difficult to put you into those videos. You have become a very nice guy and I would hang out with you anytime.
Creepy ass bitch
here he is, in 2012, and he can STILL get it
nervewurrba fr!!!!
That is just amazing. One hell of an interview.
that was a killer interview, thanks
Our crew in Salt Lake were way into the Beastie Boys when most people had never even heard of them, licensed to ill came out late 86 and we had already been listening to bootleg beats for over a year and already memorized the album.
They didn't catch on very quick so our crew was way on the outside of the norm and we were very misunderstood walking around with our giant boom boxes cranking it as loud as we could.
Great memories.
Beastie forever!
Tanguska Bear :Do you know eagle feather, who lives at the bend in the river ? The wolves have been very active again this winter. And the spring thaw will reveal the missing ones. Something is under that rock. Be vigilant
@@matthewbailey2013 I do know Eagle Feather, he's my uncle in Wyoming.
We bagged two wolves last weekend, look past the rock but im sure all you'll find is bones.
Can remember if it was Beasties or LL the first BOOMING car system pushing an 808.
Real good and insightful interview...Listening to a legend tell stories about music & the business on a intimate level...
Such a down to earth guy. Super talented. Love the Beastie Boys.❤
Awesome interview....Im old, we use to make the pause tapes, but also, hit the switch, while recording, from tape to turntable....built into the unit, no mixer, & scratch or repeat a sound by pulling back & releasing the record over & over. Then, flip that switch back to tape & pick up the A to B beat....Ha!!! We were in the midwest & had no idea anyone else did this with out 2 turntables & a mixer. Lol we were just getting by lol See?? If we had youtube back then, we would have known our Duct Tape mixing was just raw, not kookie lol Beastie Boys, artists from start to finish.
i'd like to hear some of the jam tapes
Class interview.
i am so glad you put this up........ the "process" .. :--)
thanks for uploading this, bloody amazing!
awh adrocks the coolest guy like ever.
Right before he said "You're Welcome" I was like "Oh shit say what he made LL Cool J's 1st beat???" LOL it's like he responded to my reaction haahaha
A true musician in my view...
BASF
"Some cave man shit.bangin stones together makin fire" youngsters will never know what we had to do for a beat
This is a definite great interview, dude. It truly grasped my attention and further express my respect towards the Beastie Boys.
And to add, the quotes in the video really makes me feel glad that I have a 30+ playlist of the Beastie Boys because it shows that they stick to their roots. ^_^
@PropellerheadSW Great interview Ryan! It takes two cool cats to tango and you brought out the real Adam. I've been a fan since their 1st record, but I've never seen him relaxed and just being himself without goofing. Very cool.
Man, I remember making pause tapes, I did my first mixtapes like that. Not that they were good enough to battle :)
ThatsMistaTwistToYou it’s fantastic to hear him talk about it. Thing is, the art of pushing that pause button varied from boombox to boombox. A Kmart brand GPX might have twice the delay and fuzziness than a nice Sony or Toshiba. So there was a unique learning curve for every single machine. Luv how he talks about how labor intensive it could b only to have a friend “yeah ok man, wtf are we listening to this” haha
What a superb video, all three of them are true musical legends
History
You goddamn lucky bastards. Im lucky too! For catching this interview. Thanks!
Cool - thanks for uploading. Interesting piece of history.
@pwyndam Thanks! That's sorta the tango I love to do. Getting people to feel comfortable and chill enough to just have a conversation is kinda what I do far more importantly than the technical camera stuff. I didn't realize it when I did this interview but people all say that Adam is surprisingly relaxed here and not goofing. That's great! Now I want to sit down with Mike D or MCA. They're all Reason users so it'd be a cool compilation of interviews.
WHAT!!! Very dope :-)# 808 LOVE
"I was a pause tape battler" - Historic sh*t!
It makes my heart happy to hear that "Fight For Your Right" was satire.
I was making pause tapes in the 80s!
Great Interview!
Cuuuuuuute!
Great interview
The other night I was trying that pause tape technique on my duel cassette drive, ha trying to loop the Rush Limbaugh theme
Interesting to hear thats a method they use to use
I love history, no matter what kind... Great post, thanks.
this is far more interesting than the promotional video... thanks for not skimping out on us and for letting this get seen!
Wow my congrates to you mr. ryan to have met such a musician, such a innovator
lucky bugger must love your job!
My friend was double cassette player dubbing in 88.it took for ever but fucking amazing. It was all in the pause release timing .He also had another cassette player to take the mix from the dubbing.
Cave man shit .....banging stones together yeah we were all there in the 80s,magical times....wish I had a time machine...haters will be the ones born in the late 90s and 00s
getting my first drum machine soon!!!!!! so excited, these videos persuaded me to get into this sh*t!
ahhh he's my favorite
Great piece.
Didn't want this vid to end
2019 and everybody still using the 808
Raw talent discussing "accidental" history of their contribuition to music evolution.
What if he wouldn't have picked the drum box? Fate is a beautiful thing
5:45 I love this story. Something was lost when looping became easy
Yea creativity! Non artist can make music now. That cheapens everything and oversaturates to the point there's no more soap box to stand on.
I love the beastie boys like, watch the new don't play no game video, they're still awesome! They made music good for me :D
I did some slicing on an Emerson stereo, had a dual Cassette deck and a Turntable..
Thank you
Awesome. Thanks for posting =)
great post ..thanks!
need more of these videos
Really good to see Ad Rock speaking solo here. I guess they loved each other but it didn’t always go over like that visually, in words, or tone during interviews.
Woah, $250 for an 808?!? SO jealous!!!
Now it's vintage tr808 cost of $6000
I like how clips from these deleted scenes are memorialized in the "Beasties Against The Machine" mash up of Beasties and Rage.
@tlarock Mad respect T La Rock!! "It's Yours" is awesome. I'm sure those pause tapes were sick too. :)
I think im 47 or 46. You guys music got me into trouble but I loved it. Used to see you guys around town. Hung out in Stuy town, 🌳 spots etc. 🎖 Honors unto you!!
Do you not know?
@WideAwakeism ok boomer
47.
I love these guys
I've always wondered if the reason for signing LL had anything to do with the fact that he sounded JUST like T La Rock ( whom, I'd mistaken LL as initially)
Great Piece
right when Adrock said 'alright so here's a little history'
i thought he was gonna talk about Paul Revere hahaha XD
I said howdy he said hi
This is great!
Thank you.Mr. Rock.
I learned how to mix making pause tapes on a Curtis Mathis duel tape deck that would play at the same time
did he really make LLs first beat? hes such a jokester i cant tell
Yes he really did.
Great stuff
@PropellerheadSW Good God! That is so rad. What a cool experience that must have been. I've been listening to them since I was 12 and I accidentally stumbled on Check Your Head in a record store. I thought it looked interesting and I was hooked ever since. Adrock is a BIG hero of mine. He seems just so chill and such a rad guy. From a girl perspective (lol) he knows he's cute too... he seems like he has an outstanding personality.
Listen to this guy..... he is the master dj
Dope video! Minus the couple missed cursing edits hahahaha!
@bosebucks375 Not sure which sound you mean. There's two sounds there. A taxicab outside stepped on their brakes and they screeched. And then I started to ask a follow up question off camera and you hear my voice say "Well this is..." but then I stop because Adam kept talking. Is one of those what you meant?
Beastie Boys stories if the music, cool!
Jesse Diephuis ?
literally one of the best interviews I have seen. Thanks so much for uploading this. Love BB. Love Ad Rock.
I luv you guys.
Cool, really cool!!!
Too cool!
Look up, “Beastie against the Machine”. A very good mashup with parts of this interview.✊
808 = BOOOM! hell yeah, boiii!!
