Adam Yauch - 1964-2012

[Turchinator]

this is an awful day for beastie boys fans. prayers of peace and comfort to his bandmates Mike and Adam, and to his wife and daughter.

it's almost like a chapter of my life is over.

rambling post to follow later tonight, but I am thankful for all the friends that this community, a community of die hard fans, has brought me.

and I'm sorry to all the people I was a dick to.


Long Burn The Fire

[M.C. Guevera]

I cried.

Yeah, I'll admit it.

R.I.P. MCA, much love

Prayers to everyone Yauch has touched.
He was the older brother I never had.
Thank you for shaping my life since 86.
Yauch was always one step ahead. When everyone was smoking that chronic, Yauch was rhyming about how not smoking weed was helpful to his journey. He taught me to have confidence in myself and not follow others to keep up with the joneses.
I had the pleasure of shaking Yauch's hand at the Grand Royal Record party at Irving Plaza in the 90s. I got to mumble something to him about his inspiration in my life. Thank you for that.
Heavy day - it does make me feel better knowing so many others out there feel the same way I do.
Rest well Adam.

I am trying to stay strong at work right now, but I feel like I am going to crack.

My facebook feed is full of tributes. It's great to see respect and gratitude going our worldwide right now.

Yeah, it's great to see just how many people love him and love the band. You never really know how much someone meant to you until they're gone.

RIP MCA. You are a legend and your music will live on forever. Your in Heaven now.

[pm0ney]

The worst news ever. I am totally gutted.

RIP to a humanitarian, musical genius, legend, icon, father, husband and friend.

I just cant.

[adzud]

Oh man... After hours I still can't realise it happened.
I feel like I've lost my elder brother.
RIP Adam

[Funky Pepp]

I really don't know what to say. Can't believe it...

[M.C. Guevera]

The Hall of Fame airs tomorrow on HBO. That speech by Yauch is going to be even sadder to hear now.

I wonder if he knew he was dying when he wrote the speech.

[adrock1988]

As I wrote my post above I started crying and its because like some others have said I realized how Adam shaped the person I am. How he changed so many peoples lives, including mine.

[AstroBBoy]

A truely sad day.

[Taco Zip]

I'm speechless.
Rest in peace. You have been of great inspiration to me, and always will be.
