Beastie Boys

Michael “Mike D” Diamond feels optimistically uncertain about being Conan O’Brien’s friend; Adam “Ad-Rock” Horovitz would certainly like to be, but is not yet Conan O’Brien’s friend. Mike D and Ad-Rock of the Beastie Boys sit down with Conan to discuss the neighborhood and pop culture influences that went into their early work, the shocking truth about gold records, striving to make each other laugh with their music, and remembering bassist Adam Yauch in approaching the 30th anniversary of their multi-platinum album Ill Communication.
