[smith7800]

Thanks for everything, Adam.

[TommyD]

Bye Yauch....I feel like I loved you like a brother. You were an absolute inspiration to me. I am so sad.

My thoughts go out to your family and especially your little daughter.

RIP. Thanks. Goodbye.

RIP MCA

namaste my man, you were there at my beginning and i was there at yours. we have traveled through life together and now i mourn your passing as i would any family member.

i put bboys all songs on random shortly after i heard the news. first song up, Shambala, immediately into Bodhisattva Vow. brought tears to my eyes.

[timmie]

R.I.P. Yauch!
I still cant believe this.......

[BangkokB]

Unbelievable news. I mourn. I thought that he was well on his way to a speedy recovery. Suffice it to say the Beastie Boys have been a part of more than half of my life. Constantly in play and I can tell you what I did to celebrate and where I was when I bot every one of their records on release date. They've been a huge part of my life through their music seeing me through both good times and bad.

Yauch made the world, or strived to, a better place. Not just musically but with his projects that he took on to bring the world awareness of social injustice both in the States and abroad. He will be sorely missed.

RIP MCA

Today started off with me having to put down my dog. She was 15 years old. I'm 38. She was a close to having a child as there will ever be for me. That brought me numb, then tears, then numb, then crying for hours. My heart hurts.

Soon after I buried her. I started to get texts from all my friends and phone calls about Adam.

When it rains it pours.

I have no words.

I'm heartbroken about my little girl, and heartbroken about my idol MCA.

I'm glad I had the chance to meet you. I wish I could of told you how much you influenced me with my life and how I make music.

I didn't.

I have no words. I know everyone is hurting.

"It Feels Good To Play A Little Music. Tears Running Down My Face 'Cause I Love To Do It"

That sums it up for me...

Goodbye, BBMB.

My thoughts are with his family and friends, as well as with the many amazing beastie fans that have been touched by him.

That's as much as I can come up with right now, kinda speechless

Well said.

Sorry for your loss everyone.

[Dyno-mite]

It is a sad day, at a loss for words. To one of the coolest men on Earth. RIP, you will be greatly missed. Thanks for everything............

[M|X|Y]

this is what i was afraid of.

thanks to the universe for giving us yauch for all these years.

a lot of us feel like he's family and this strikes many of us as though he was.

having grown up listening to yauch, grown closer to the music, the message and the group.. i just can't believe he's gone.

even though we all knew that there was a chance this might happen sooner rather than later this is still a shock.

i am so thankful for the time i've/we've gotten to 'spend' with yauch... albums, shows, videos, interviews and thoughts - he has thoroughly filled our lives with a part of himself that will always live on through each of us forever.

i feel that as the man grew, many of us have grown. thank you for in your own way guiding all of us through many of the difficulties of growing up through your example.

thank you for teaching me/us that you are never doomed to be just one you, that life is all about evolution - growth and becoming a better person.

thank you for teaching me/us that individuality doesn't come from your clothes or the color of your hair, but rather from your willingness to live from your heart authentically.

thank you adam yauch.


many condolences to his family and to mike and adam.

beastie boys forever.

[Junker]

RIP Yauch!

I'm thankful caise you came here to Brazil in 2006 and made my life better from that day on.

[Laver1969]

Wow...this so friggin' tough. I can't believe. Thoughts and prayers to Yauch's family. Rest In Peace!

[aptpupil]

[Nomen Nescio]

Truly crushed by this news.

This is right up there with my Mother passing away. She was also 47.

[celldweller1983]

so sad just woke up to find the news. My thoughts are with his family and rest of crew. RIP MCA

[Nicodemus]

I wouldn't be who I am today if I hadn't stumbled across LTI at the age of ten in '86. Beasties have been my soundtrack and will continue to be.

RIP Yauch

[bobster]

thanks yauch for the soundtrack of my youth and for still being my favourite band now I'm 36 and for putting the fun into music. today was the day hip hop died but the beastie boys music will be around forever.

such a sad loss

[OldSkoolGirl]

My heart breaks... this day hurts. My thoughts and prayers and love are with Mike and Adam and their families, and of course with Adam's wife and daughter... MCA my friend, you made this world a better place. Thanks for all of the motivation and inspiration, and for sharing your incredible gift... I pray you have found peace - namaste.

[kanderer]

The man I am today is in part because of Yauch. RIP MCA.

[pshabi]

Yauch and the Beastie Boys have influenced my taste in music, my sense of style, and my outlook on life. Yauch's attitude and personality has influenced me for the better, making me a happier person and a more productive human being.

The music and shows brought great joy to my life and provided me with a LIFETIME of memories and many friendships that I otherwise would not have had. My heart goes out to Yauch's family and loved ones. My chest aches and my eyes well up with tears as I type.

RIP MC ADAM YAUCH. You have left your mark, my man!

[QueenAdrock]

I, like many others here, have been profoundly touched by Adam Yauch through the years. This is devastating news and is so hard to comprehend. Love to the Adam, Mike, Dechen, and Tenzin. My heart is breaking.

[JtCann]

Wow so sad, such a loss thanks for all the memories I'll have them forever!
