John Berry (May 31, 1963 – May 19, 2016)[1] was an American hardcore punk musician. He was a founding member of the Beastie Boys, although he left the band in 1982 before they secured any commercial success.[2]
The Beastie Boys were initially a hardcore punk band. It was formed at a time when the New York punk scene was witnessing a shift, and Berry was an important part of that transition. Berry played guitar on the band's first release, a seven-inch EP, Polly Wog Stew. He was the first to leave the band, later followed by Schellenbach.
Their first shows were at Berry’s loft on West 100th Street and Broadway on the Upper West Side.[4]
