Adam Yauch - 1964-2012

[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.

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..

Well I don't know if it was the right thing to do but I went out last night. Overcome with emotion on hearing the Apache break I busted on to the stage, grabbed the DJs mic and paid tribute to Adam Yauch before attempting to freestyle some rhymes in honour of the man himself.

Still, the second day of knowing this sad news and its no easier to come to terms with. He was far far too young.

A fan's reaction I found on YouTube.

My prayers go out to Adam and his family. A true pioneer and genius of music has passed and will never be forgotten. Thank you MCA for all you have given us, may you rest in peace. You will be greatly missed...

Thank you for making the music that is and always will be the soundtrack to my life.

my heart goes out to all communities, but i feel like if yauch touched us allthis much it must be so hard for those closest to him like mike d, adrock, his family & close friends and love ones

they are in my thoughts

[tpk]

i was watching ufc on fox last night and they opened up the broadcast by paying homage to yauch showing a picture and mentioning his involvement in sports etc.

they ended up playing a lot of beastie boys songs through out the whole night at the arena.

thought that was pretty cool of them since no one was probably expecting it.

the band members seem to feel not that bad

Not trying to start a whole thing here....but that doesn't imply that he doesn't feel that bad.

People grieve in different ways. Some fall apart right out of the gates and are mostly patched up after a few weeks, others keep a stone facade until they see their loved one's favorite brand of coffee on the shelves at a grocery store 3 years later, and then have a total meltdown. I wouldn't put too much thought into it man.

No, no it is not. Sorry for the misunderstanding. It belongs to someone else.

Dude I was there, I'm not sure what you saw, but they put his name and picture up the big screens, then proceeded to play 3 consecutive beastie songs. They did before fox's broadcast(I was there for the early fights) it was definitely surprising but also real real cool of them to do.

Snl also paid tribute to him by showing a clip of their live performance of sure shot.

And not that this matters but the bar I was at on Friday had one of those digital juke boxes, I played every beastie song they had. Twice.

that's awesome. I was watching the prelims as well but once they switched õver to the main broadcast on fox the presenter mentioned his passing, showing a picture etc. pretty sure they started playing girls after that in the arena. later on I thought I heard rhymin and stealin. either way it was a nice surprise and must have felt good being there and all. (great event too).

Yeah, that was nice.

I'm pretty sure Dana White is a big fan. He was wearing a Grand Royal t-shirt on an episode of The Ultimate Fighter on Friday.

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.
