Such An Amazing Idea For A DVD

[Frank Giaramita]

Taken from a Wired.com (http://www.wired.com/wired/archive/14.04/play.html?pg=4) article: To make their new concert movie, the Beastie Boys distributed Hi8 videocams to 50 fans at a 2004 show in New York City - and asked them to record everything they saw. MC Adam Yauch then combined his favorite bits from the 100-plus hours of footage into a feature film, Awesome; I Fuckin' Shot That!.

Then they returned all the cameras and got their money back.

hi8? damn that's old school.

Thats a pretty cool idea actually.
More bands should do that for live DVDs,
Gives it more of a...
homely feel

Can safely say thats the first time I've ever heard of someone doing something like this. More power to them.

I heard Coldplay is going to do that at one of their concerts, which would be a pretty lame idea considering the Beasties just released this.

I saw the trailer for it before V for Vendetta, I look forward to it.

[reductiondesign]

That's a really great idea.

[TomAce]

i wouldve just taken the camera and pawned it, but that just may be me being a cheap piece of shit, this is gonna be cool considering anything the beasties touch is fuckin genious to me

nathanial hornblower, not MCA edited all of this. hornblower is MCA's uncle if y'all didnt know.

hi8? damn that's old school.

WOW, ya know that a pritty cool idea, and it's probly MUCH cheeper then getting like 3 or 4 professional camera men and renting all the expensive ass DV cameras!

[robsmith]

they said they couldn't have done it in Canada because we're too crazy and we would have stolen the cameras....yeah, pretty much, I'd be all like 'So what'cha wan?'

[gobblox is...]

is there really a 'fuckin' in the title?

according to michael moore you're like the safest country in the world tho, eh?

Fantastic idea by one of the first bands I was ever into.

[Kiss Of Octopus]

i saw an advance screening of this tonight at the theatre.
its fucking amazing, best concert film ive ever seen.

must have taken a fucking lifetime to edit.

i can even begin to explain.

just, go fucking see it.

but dont see it if youre not a very big beastie boys fan, it IS a concert. don't expect a documentary or anything, which is what i originally heard it was.

lucky for me, im a huge fan of the beasties.

[TommyGunn]

This was indeed an amazing idea...when BON JOVI came up with it about 15 years earlier!

[jawkneephighv]

hi8? damn that's old school.hahahaha that's exactly what first came into my mind. still a fucking kickass concept.

[HenceChristian]

once again proving, that the beasties are the shit.
