    Couverture de The Storyteller

    Description

    Number One New York Times Best Seller 

    A panoramic experience that tells the story of Beastie Boys, a book as unique as the band itself - by band members ADROCK and Mike D, with contributions from Amy Poehler, Colson Whitehead, Wes Anderson, Luc Sante, and more. 

    The inspiration for the Spike Jonze "live documentary" Beastie Boys Story, coming soon to IMAX theaters and Apple TV+

    Named One of The Best Books of the Year by Rolling StoneThe GuardianPaste 

    Formed as a New York City hardcore band in 1981, Beastie Boys struck an unlikely path to global hip hop superstardom. Here is their story, told for the first time in the words of the band. Adam "ADROCK" Horovitz and Michael "Mike D" Diamond offer revealing and very funny accounts of their transition from teenage punks to budding rappers; their early collaboration with Russell Simmons and Rick Rubin; the debut album that became the first hip hop record ever to hit number one, Licensed to Ill - and the album's messy fallout as the band broke with Def Jam; their move to Los Angeles and rebirth with the genre-defying masterpiece Paul's Boutique; their evolution as musicians and social activists over the course of the classic albums Check Your Head, Ill Communication, and Hello Nasty and the Tibetan Freedom Concert benefits conceived by the late Adam "MCA" Yauch; and more. For more than 30 years, this band has had an inescapable and indelible influence on popular culture. 

    With a style as distinctive and eclectic as a Beastie Boys album, Beastie Boys Book upends the typical music memoir, featuring a collection of voices reminiscent of your favorite mixtape.

    Praise for Beastie Boys Book

    "A fascinating, generous book with portraits and detail that float by in bursts of color.... As with [the band’s] records, the book's structure is a lyrical three-man weave.... Diamond's voice is lapidary, droll. Horovitz comes on like a borscht belt comedian, but beneath that he is urgent, incredulous, kind of vulnerable.... Friendship is the book's subject as much as music, fame and New York." (The New York Times Book Review)

    "Wild, moving...resembles a Beastie Boys LP in its wild variety of styles." (Rolling Stone)

    Sublime et essentiel

    Le meilleur audio book musical imaginable. Très chaudement recommandé. Raconte or plusieurs voix. Aussi inventif que l’est le groupe.

    License to Listen - The Illest Communication

    So...

    I have been an Audible member since 2007. I have NEVER reviewed a recording before. I HAD to write a review for this.

    I am not some major Beastie fan although they are certainly a favorite of mine, but then, I grew up with them. I'm 48 and African-American. I got into hip-hop around the time that they did. I was invested in the same styles, fads, allusions/references that they were. Heck, I even became a Vajrayana Buddhist around the time MCA did.

    From a generational standpoint, they were essential; vital. They were the brothers or cousins you had that influenced you while occasionally, you were ahead of them. They grew as you grew and evolved as you did. Then, you have children and you only speak once in a while (by listening to a record here or there) but you KNOW that you wouldn't have been the same without them.

    Being black in America is fraught with many things; one of the least talked about and in some ways, most damaging, is that you're never REALLY sure that you are LIKED. Y'know, whether that person 'just put up with you', that the micro-aggression masks the macro-agitation.

    The Beastie Boys LOVED black culture; and that means that they LOVED black people. Not is some fetishized way, but were early progenitors of cross-cultural exchange.

    You know what it means to know FOR CERTAIN that a powerful, influential group finds a style, a slang, A WAY OF BEING that comes from your diaspora, IMPORTANT?

    The Beastie Boys were one of the most creative forces in the then nascent world of hip-hop. They were and are simply GREAT. This book, full of stories read by great folks like Chuck D, Rachel Maddow, Ben Stiller etc., is a testimony to their far-reaching and important hip-hop/ musical/cultural ambassadorship.

    I miss MCA. Probably monthly. More than other acts that I possibly love as much (Bowie, Prince). Sometimes, you just know you'd have gotten along with somebody...

    This recording is simply wonderful. Laugh out loud funny, pensive, whimsical, wise - I could go on. If you've read this far, you know that I'm saying that you should pick this up. If you're Generation X, it is a must-buy. If you want a slice of life from the 80s on, it is insightful.

    One of the best recordings I have ever heard. (I mentioned that I am an O.G. Audible listener, right?!)

    Thanks to the authors, the vocals from the wide array of talent and for Audible for giving us such a gift in a time when thoughts of gratitude, cultural appreciation, honesty and growth are in such short supply.

    Rest in Peace my Dharma brother MCA. And thanks, FOR ALL OF IT, Mike D and Adam.

    A Love Letter to Adam Yauch

    This book is a must for any fan. It reads like a love letter to Adam Yauch, which I love.. but it's also filled with great stories and process. The readings gave me chills multiple times. By the end, everyone will wish they were cool enough to have noticed the gift that was their last album. They did something only they could do, just as they did with this audiobook.

    One of the best audiobooks I've ever listened too

    I could be described as a casual fan, not a huge fan of the Beastie Boys. This was a fantastic audiobook. The cast of readers from the surviving members and former band mates was great, , and frankly the story of their lives in general to this very day was interesting.

    I cried

    It’s true. I cried multiple times listening to this book. Both happy and sad tears. This book is utterly amazing. If you call yourself a B Boys fan and don’t listen to this book???
    B Boys fan pass revoked!

    I don’t get it....

    Clearly in the minority here but I don’t get all the rave reviews. Meandering and pointless at times. Some stories interesting/entertaining, but not enough. Narration a total miss - too many cameos and clearly not well thought out as most were mismatches for the stories they were reading. I am fan of the music, the time, etc., but I’m giving up at chapter 64 - I’ve hung in hoping it would make ale off, but it’s not happening. Can’t handle another “list” read out.....

    Great band - terrible audiobook.

    This books makes me so happy and a little sad...

    This book is amazing. I love the book's format with not only the authors reading their thoughts and experiences, but also narrators who impacted them or were impacted by them. I had no idea the connections between the Beastie Boys and other artists, which answered so many questions I had regarding my personal music preferences. It's incredible to learn about the huge range of artists who impacted their work and/or were used in their songs.

    The book is incredibly funny. As a fan, I think I subconsciously knew they were really funny, but this book proves it. Learning about the impact Beatie Boys had in the early computer/internet days and how their music was used to influence what today we take for granted (e.g., music and information about that music at our fingertips) was so interesting.

    Tip: After beginning this book I quickly started keeping Spotify open while listening to the book so I could flip back and forth to hear the music mentioned in the book. It's not just their music but other artists. A fun musical journey...

    RIP MCA

    I think I would prefer the physical copy

    The content of the book was different than what I expected but still great. My criticism is only related to the audio version. I wish this book had come with an accompanying PDF so I could reference the images that were provided in the physical copy. While I think the concept of having various celebrities read certain chapters, I found it distracting when they read chapters that they did not write. Somewhere in the last third or so of the book, the chapters titles became misaligned with the audio. I don’t know if that was an error with only my copy, but it was pretty confusing to be listening to a chapter that was listed as a different chapter’s title.

    Oh My God, That's the Funky Sh*t

    If you can feel what I'm feeling then it's a musical masterpiece/ If you can hear what I'm dealing with then that's cool at least/ What's running through my mind comes through in my walk/ True feelings are shown from the way that I talk

    Sure Shot

    Nicht nur für Fans der Beastie Boys absolut hörenswert. Die wechselnden Sprecher sind sicher eine witzige Idee und sorgen für Abwechslung. Ich empfand diese jedoch anfangs etwas irritierend. Insgesamt gefallen mir die von Michael Diamond und Adam Horovitz gelesenen Kapitel deutlich besser. Beide kommen super sympathisch und authentisch rüber.
