rushfanNlv Posted May 4, 2012 Share Posted May 4, 2012 Founding member Adam Yauch of The Beastie Boys has died at the age of 47 of cancer. If you base your opinion of The Beastie Boys on the song "Fight for your Right" then you probably do not have a high opinion of this group but they have done some amazing work in my opinion. I saw them live with my wife (she's a big fan) and loved every minute of it the show - especially when they played their instruments. The fuzz on MCA's bass during "Sabotage" was just amazing and LOUD! Much like Rush, this is one of those bands that has to retire as a result of a member passing. There is no replacing MCA. RIP MCA Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ILSnwdog Posted May 4, 2012 Share Posted May 4, 2012 I saw the Beasties back in 87. The didn't play any instruments then. But it was still a wicked show. You will be missed MCA. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Test4VitalSigns Posted May 5, 2012 Share Posted May 5, 2012 (edited) You are very correct that Beastie Boys are much more than their hit songs. Some pretty innovative sounds these guys made. The Sounds of Science indeed. R.I.P. MCA Oh...and f**k CANCER!!! Edited May 5, 2012 by Test4VitalSigns Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kevorkazito Posted May 30, 2012 Share Posted May 30, 2012 I was sad to hear that he had cancer, now he has succumbed to it. I remember reading an article of how he would go snowboarding after putting liquid LSD into his eyes before heading down the slopes... he has lived for sure!

mazyyz Posted June 3, 2012 Share Posted June 3, 2012 That sucked that he passed away. He was an amazing producer and artist....I think more than he got credit for. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
