I will always love the Yaucher.

[pm0ney]

I dont know if its been posted yet, but the Mets and Mariners have confirmed all players will step up to the plate tonight to Beastie Boys songs. Amazing.

[weiner girl]

I really hope it's not just FFYR ... Adam made so many more amazing things.

[freetibet]

It was 9 pm here when they aired "Non Stop Disco Powerpack" on a lame pop radio station. I was like: oooh, the Beasties! Then I got a text from my sister...

I sincerely feel like I have lost a close relative today. Someone wrote here: you only realize it, when someone's gone.

And apparently BB music has been and will always be a huge part of what I am. Lifelong gratitude for that, dear MCA.

Respect! That's so cool.

[HEIRESS]

I was totally sideswiped by the news, so absolutely sad.

OMG...
Namaste, your music bring me lot of good stuff.
I remember when Beastie played in Paris. Adrock said at the end of Ricky's Theme :
"We spend great time together tonight, i would like you to remember this time when it's bad or stuff like that..."
So remember all the good time that we spend.

Wurd. That's real.

I wonder where we go from here as a community.

Like, I know that there are enough people here that have bonded for reasons other than the Beastie Boys that this board can thrive for years to come.

Yet...

It feels different now.

Almost like this board has no purpose now or something.

It feels...empty.

I was thinking the same thing. I check these boards everyday for news and updates. I am not sure what kind of updates I will be looking for in the future...maybe to just see what Mike and Adam are up to. This shit kills me...its very selfish of me to think this...but it feels like such a big part of me was lost today...I am sure it wasn't though, the Beastie Boys are going to remain an important part of my life for the rest of my life. RIP Yauch

[M.C. Guevera]

We now live in a world with 2 Beastie Boys, not 3. I didn't give up hope until I heard the news, so at least there's that.

But I thought they'd be like The Rolling Stones and tour into their 70s. We were supposed to watch them age into how they look on the Anthology album cover! They weren't supposed to start dying until like 2060!

Life's not fair.

Even if we do check out what Mike and Adam are up to, every time we do, there's always going to be that stinging pain knowing that Yauch's not around.

We're going to think of him everytime someone references the Beastie Boys.

[TheMightyAjax]

Thank you for touching the world with your beautiful soul.

[silence7]

"You can't stop you've got to keep on
Keep, keep-keep-keep, keep-keep on
You can't stop you've got to keep on
Keep, keep-keep-keep, keep-keep on
You can't stop you've got to keep on
On and on, to the break of dawn"

I really don't what to say right now, I'm feeling wrecked... Yauch, Adam, and Mike taught me, as someone else stated, to be more tolerant of different people, to look out for people who can't necessarily look out for themselves. Over the years I've put my neck on the chopping block multiple times for others who needed to be spoken for, (as recently as this week) and I'd like to think that Yauch and the boys had something to do with it.

Seeing them always being portrayed as the guys who "Fight for their right" has always pissed me off, and rightly so, because they have done so much good since then, musically and to help out the world we ALL live in.

Of all the people... Adam was a good guy, And I wanted him to be around getting old as I grew old. I've seen him referred to today as the John Lennon of our times. Pretty spot on, both started off kinda crazy, both mellowed, and tried to make the world a better place.

Fuck, this was not supposed to happen....

Gotta go finish peeling these onions

We'll miss you Adam!!

[Kid Presentable]

Just woke up to this.

Thoughts and love go out to his family, Mike and Adam, the rest of the band and their friends and loved ones, and to all the other brothers and sisters all over the world who are fans and will be feeling this.

No single force has been more central to my life than this band. Adam in particular taught me about how we can grow and learn on life's journey, and also about the real value of music, as a means of connecting people and teaching us about ourselves.

He was not only ultra-talented, but he was a visionary, he was hilarious, he had the deepest (deepest)bag of ideas and brought concepts to life like no other.

As a person, his humanitarianism and compassion provided lessons which I only hope to emulate.

One of the dumbest and proudest moments in my life was exchanging messages with MCA on this very messageboard, with another user who is dear to me. Just two fans, bouncing messages around with one of their idols. The three of us were joking about Axl Rose. Adam told us that he invited Axl over, and that he was playing mumbledepeg at his house.

This music has been central to my life since I was a child. It will continue to live on. Love to the BBMB, sorry to those I was a dick to.

RIP Adam Yauch. Too sad.

[dirtydan11]

I dont have words today. I know I'm still in shock. But I wanted to post today so at least in the years to come I know I tried. I lost someone I grew up with today. And I only met him twice. I am so lucky my road was along his since I was 12. I am 37. My absolute favorite. Soundtrack to my life

[silence7]

I don't know if Jim Shearer posts here, but thought you guys should see this.

I have never joined a bands forum board so I have never posted here and apologise if anyone finds this intrusive but I really wanted to post my hurt and condolences over the passing of such a great person. The amount of tributes I have read on Twitter and shit that comment on the influence Adam Yauch had on them to become a better person or shaped the person that they are today is amazing and is truly inspiring. I wish I had something more profound to say but this day is really fucking shit. The only real positive to be taken is that Adam Yauch is no longer suffering and we have an insane amount of positive work to remember this remarkable man by.

Of course peace to his family and fellow B-boys its impossible to imagine how hard this must be for them

"I think you know what time it is its time to get ill!!!"

[coneslayer]

Pass me the scalpel, I'll make an incision
I'll cut off the part of your brain that does the bitching
Put it in formaldehyde and put it on the shelf
And you can show it to your friends and say that's my old self

[M|X|Y]

fallon just did a tiny little tribute to yauch... roots will be playing all beatsie boys tonight (it's on now)

Is there anything official for MCA going on in NYC... im making the voyage to pay some homage and would love to be somewhere where we can unite our thoughts and prayers for he believed in the power of meditation and sending vibes .. lets send him on his way with all our vibes this day...

[Shadbells]

You have been a huge influence in my life. I am heartbroken by this. My blessings and love to him and his family.

[cypressphil]

Gutted, simply gutted.

Fan for 26 years since I was 14. Feels like a part of me has died today with Adam's passing.

My thoughts are with Adam's family, Mike and Adam H.

Gone but never forgotten, peace my brother.

[sab0tage]

I'm not the most frequent poster here but I'm always lurking to the point that I know a lot of you (or your BBMB personalities) pretty well. I know who is sarcastic, who is friendly, and who is downright nasty sometimes but it's comforting to have somewhere to come where people understand and especially now to see, if only for a short time, everyone united.

I've nothing new to say, it's pretty much all been covered. I don't know where things go from here though. The soundtrack to a huge part of my 39 years has come to an end.

RIP Adam

Peace and love to you all

Adrian

[Thundercracker]

devastating.
your legacy will live on, adam.

deepest sympathies to the family and friends.

I have re- submitted myself to this site again after some email account losses to share a few thoughts on the loss of Adam Yauch. I once read in The Buddhist Magazine Tricycle that MCA was born on August 5, 1964. That's my birthday. As a fan, a musician and a practicing Buddhist, (at the time), I really appreciated this and receiving birthday messages for a few years from the folks at this site.

"There's an extra tug when someone born on the same exact day as you leaves early" is what i wrote on facebook yesterday.

Last night I was able to play music into the wee hours of the night/ morning with a friend who I rarely get to see. A great joy. Appreciating the inspiration Adam brought to this world on many levels. peace to his family and friends.

tpk is there any chance we can change the title of the thread? Yes it's true, but it's a fucking hammer between the eyes to read. No dramas if not, just wondering.
