Why he might be annoying
He shares his name with a country musician.
He and Kate Schellenbach were the Pete Bests of the Beastie Boys.
Unlike Schellenbach, he found no music success post-Beastie Boys.
He showed up late to gigs due to his drinking and drug experimentation.
He left before the band's transition from hardcore punk to hip hop.
He persuaded Mike Dto sneak out of his parents' house to go to concerts.
He was accused of throwing snowballs at Bauhaus during their debut U.S. performance.
Why he might not be annoying
He attended high school with Mike D, which led to them forming their first band, the Young Aborigines.
It was he who coined the name of the band 'Beastie Boys.'
His leaving the band paved the way for Ad-Rock to join.
The Beasties used his loft for their first practices.
He remained on good terms with the remaining Beastie Boys.
Mike D considered him his 'first teacher of all things punk.'
