Tom Beaujour and Richard Bienstock discuss their new book Lollapalooza: The Uncensored Story Of Alternative Rock’s Wildest Festival, living among bears, whether Guitar World journalists are required to shred, why their book Nöthin’ But a Good Time: The Uncensored History of the ’80s Hard Rock Explosion and Michael Azerrad’s Our Band Could Be Your Life: Scenes from the American Indie Underground, 1981–1991, led them to Lollapalooza’s rise and fall, activism, credibility and selling out, why many artists who played or agreed to play Lollapalooza were not into it, Guided by Voices destroying Beastie Boys in backstage basketball games, the infamous year Metallica headlined, why Kim Thayil wrote the foreword, if this book could be more than a book, other future plans, and much more.
