Adam Yauch - 1964-2012

[Freebasser]

I am absolutely numb inside.

Adam was not only a complete and utter genius and a massively inspirational musician but also a genuine and honest person.

The fact that he would come on to these boards and shoot the shit with all of us obsessed losers like we were all just hanging out with him down the pub is testament to what a kind-hearted and accepting soul he was.

My condolences to Adam H, Mike D, MMM and all those associated with the band and of course Adam's family and friends. Without the influence of Adam and the Beastie Boys' music I probably never would've learned to play bass, have such varied taste in music or turned out to be a decent human being.

Adam, you will be sorely missed but we will always have your music to remember you by.
