Ich kann mir echt vorstellen, dass einige Journalisten dabei verrückt werden, wenn sie nicht die Standard-Antworten erhalten, welche sie erwarten. Aber zumindest sind Beastie Antworten nicht so langweilig wie andere Promo-Interviews der restlichen Musikwelt.

MCA @ Interview bei Quart-Festival @ P3TV

Eins der ernsthafteren Interviews, Adrock bei Rock Werchter in Belgien:

Und noch was eher peinliches aus der Klamottenkiste:

Is it true that your contact rider says you get a supply of condoms along with the condiments in your dressing room?
Yes, the Beastie Boys are into safe sex. We’re also into making our own porno movies with our video camera. We got a great segment of this girl who wouldn’t suck dick unless we sang Brass Monkey. So we sang Brass Monkey and she blew us.

Where’d that happen?
Washington or Montana. Middle America, man–you’d amazed. I’m calling from South Carolina right now, and the South is known for its incredible dick-sucking abilities.
