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.

Nothin but Love and Gratitude...


I am so sad, but looking at old pics and talking to friends I realized how lucky I am to have experienced and remember so many wonderful moments of my life through your music and presence.... such a huge part of me since the begining,

sometimes my friends tease me about how much I love/miss the 80's, but the truth is it was the greatest time the music was so new and fresh. I was young and free with no worries, and no one I knew had died yet, especially of cancer. It seems the past ten years the people I love and value so much have all been devoured by this monster. It is truly heartbreaking. I can't understand..

I stop myself when I feel this way and I remember I am so lucky to have had each and everyone of these extrodinary people in my life, and I only feel happiness and gratitude.


Thank you Adam for being such huge part of my life. It truly was a pleasure meeting you.

To all of you.... much love you were as much a part of him as he was you. I hope you all celebrate his life always.

Peace
T

Adam especially was unbelievable in our support from then 'til now, even allowing me to induct them into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. I consider myself a strong man and my father says be prepared to lose many in your post-50 path of life. Still, I'm a bit teary-eyed leaving this plane. R.I.P. Adam aka MCA."

I agree
I read your sig, Its so sad. I feel like part of me is gone also, I'm just glad to say that this communitys support toward each other and his family is nothing short of perfect.

The 80s were meant for us Khlo haha (:

[Miho]

He was a great man. I still can't believe he's gone. His passing came out of the blue.

Rest in Peace, Yauch.

Awh thanks girl. It is...the beastie fans really came together, as we should have. Yauch is not in pain anymore, and thats the only thought thats keeping my chin up..at this point.
The 80s we belong, my friend.

You know how when something awful happens, and you wake up the following day and the awful event pops into your head and you're like "oh fuck, it's still true." That's how I felt when I got up today.

Sad.

I'm listening to "Looking Down The Barrel Of A Gun" and MCA saying "Life comes in phases/Take the good with the bad" stung me.

[M.C. Guevera]

I checked out another messageboard I go to to see if anyone had anything to say over there, and sure enough, there was a thread titled "Adam Yauch died". Now, I expected the worse, since a lot of the posters on that site are pretty prickish towards, well, everything. They've cracked jokes and shitted on celebrity deaths before, so I cringed when I clicked the thread, expecting to see a bunch of jokes and mocking over his death.

Yet, instead, what I found was genuine sadness. These are guys who don't put their smart ass guard down for anything or anyone...yet, they were feeling depressed. Even if all they wrote was "That sucks." or just put up a "", it was still more than I expected from them. Even those who weren't actually fans paid their respects, since they know of the Beastie Boys' impact on music.

This really showed me just how much the band meant to people. Seeing all of the different types of people post something revealing their fandom proves that the band has a wide and diverse fanbase. It's not just white people, black people, spanish people, fucking EVERYONE could get into them. That's not something every band can say they can do. People were sad. Legit sad over this.

Except for one guy that wrote "I don't give a shit about Adam Yauch." But he's a douchebag anyway, so fuck him.

[M.C. Guevera]

I like what this writer for Late Night With Jimmy Fallon had to say on Twitter:

Eric Ledgin ‏ @iamledgin

You know you really meant something to people when even Twitter refuses to mock your death.

I don't think the Beastie Boys will ever realize just how much they really meant to people and just how many lives they have touched.

[kleptomaniac]

Giving you a big cyber hug wherever you are. Thank you for everything. Lots of love to you and everyone who knew you and everyone on this board.

Rest in Peace, Adam Yauch

We may feel like we're the closest because we're here, but other communities are mourning as well..

The B Boys have just been a constant for many of us for many years, they've just been 'there'. They've also been a solid group with none of the celebrity drama like some other groups...a group to look up to and respect. They've been like buddies to me, friends I would hang out with and have some laughs.

As unfortunate as this has been to loose Yauch, this is it for the Beastie Boys as we have known them. It can't be helped and I wouldn't blame Horowitz or Diamond for going out and do their own thing (duo or solo) from this point on. I wouldn't be surprised if they released another album of their vaulted stuff to close the book on the Beastie Boys and semi-retire, or just do something different. I'll be waiting in anticipation and wish them luck for the future.

Chuck D and LL inducting Beastie Boys now

No celebrity B.S. just solid working guys who do what they do... Guys you can respect.

I can imagine because even reading your post got me.
Btw y'all the beastie boys are artist of the month on comcast on demand, they have a whole bunch of music videos on there I watched all of them it was Intergalactic, Root down, Pass the mic, chcheck it out, Sabotage, Fight for your right, and a few more. They're great quality right on your tv (:

[M.C. Guevera]

SNL is new tonight. I wonder if they'll reference Yauch. They performed on the show twice, after all.

[MCAadROCKMiKEd7]

Dude I bet you they will. Gonna scope that

[facedownfall]

I found out at work yesterday afternoon. I've been fighting off tears, hasn't happened yet.

I just never thought this day would come, like they would go on to be those old dudes from the Ricky's Theme video and Anthology.

Just as the band dedicated "Gratitude" to my dog in 2007, I'm sending it back to MCA for gratitude.

Rest In Peace Adam Yauch and I dedicate this song by Pete Yorn to you: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mUN3s4BgVD4

I watched the performance from 94 on VHS earlier today. I recorded it when it was first run before they could bleep out MCA saying "I use a bullshit mike, that's made out of plastic.." on live TV.

[MCAadROCKMiKEd7]

Watching pranked on MTV and they had an MTV news update about him.

[YoungRemy]

7 minutes left on the R&R HOF show. they ought to be airing the tribute section pretty soon. but they still have to induct RHCP.

edit: it goes one more half hour

True. Even a lot of the news headlines. So blunt about it.

[willis drummond]

This sucks. My bro came over and we partied till around 5. I played all my beastie vinyl - from cookie puss to hot sauce. Today I feel no better. Reading all the twitter feeds to watching Jimmy Fallon it's a mindfuck really. The article below states Adam went into the hospital right around the HOF induction and then things moved rapidly. I have no idea what my point is but I'm sad and this hurts.
