Adam Yauch - 1964-2012

[M.C. Guevera]

EVERY Beastie Boys video on YouTube is getting tons of hits and comments now. And I mean EVERY. Even rarely seen videos and interviews.

I actually found a rare video, in fact: Yauch plays basketball and promotes Gunnin' For That #1 Spot in 2008: http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature...&v=spKML2DdHfg

Coincidence, I had JUST linked to that video on my Facebook...

I remember when I first watched this video and was shocked but hopeful

you could see MCA taking it lightly and then adrock says "It's not funny" and you can see how serious he feels - but then they lighten up again - that's who they are serious and silly in one sentence.

Yep, even SNL did something. They showed a brief clip of the Beasties performing "Sure Shot" in 1994 and then showed a screencap of Yauch from the performance with "ADAM YAUCH" written underneath it on a black screen in total silence. Then fade to black. This was right after Weekend Update ended.

I turned off SNL when rhianna came on assuming at that point they weren't gonna show something so I perfectly missed it >

You're not alone... I really should not have watched that video again......

Yauch was so apologetic about disrupting people's plans to attend shows... I'd like to think he planned his death so most of of us could have the weekend to deal with it. I know that sounds crass, but I know if he had the choice he would have done that.. I've been here like a lump since I got home from work Friday and I don't plan on thinking about life until Monday when I HAVE to go to work, and Adam will still be on my mind....

tl;dr Yauch, looking out for us til' the very end.

Attack the week though. Try.

It hurts insanely to hear one of the most influential musicians in the music industry has left this world. I felt as if a big chunk of my childhood impression had gone with this unexpected demise.

Beastie Boys have become the main forces that bridge the gap between cool pop and urban rap. Three MC's and one DJ music video will always remind me of humorous dance moves, rhyming verses, and vibrant connection between the three cool dudes. Genuine rapport and positive creativity are the true testaments to their timelessly and highly acclaimed success.

Especially to Adam, this brief verse says it all: "We be getting stupid in your area, Causing all kinds of hysteria, My beats is sick like malaria, But don't worry I'll take care of ya." I am certain that all fans have been well taken care of and now it's time for you to fly.

my tribute essay for MCA--

I never got to see them perform live-- at least the DVDs and Youtube clips are out there..

I have used this site for a long time to keep up with the goings on,only registered yesterday.

As everyone has already said words escape me and any that come to mind ,do the events of Friday no justice. Obviously my thoughts and prayers are with Frances,Noel,Dechen,Tenzin,Adam,Mike,Mike and Fred Rubin.
At the age of 45,nailbanger i think myself pretty tough,home from work Friday turned on internet (don't do TV) Bawled my eyes out.... So young, so loved and will be sorely missed.
Weird thing is I always figured they would be around, I'd be 60 and there would be the Beasties on some show playing some jazz funk creation in cardigans (watchin Ricky's theme toooo much) Smokin pipes, still with the sarcasm, just older and grey.....
Guess not.
Best tribute Ive seen so far is up on You-tube ,Coldplay Hollywood bowl May the 4th, cover of FFYR bawled again.. LTR..

On a lighter note, Guess MCA'S a Jedi now ,, He did pass on the 4TH.
On that note
"May The Fourth be with you Adam always"



ANTHOLOGY ON LOOP LOOP LOOP All Weekend
