I just heard about this RIP

[EskimoBassist]

RIP, will be sorely missed.

[risingson]

RIP, huge Beastie Boys fan, I knew he had been ill but I didn't see it coming.

[EdwardHimself]

Really sad news. Someone has already started a thread about this in off topic though.

That sucks beyond words... wow, Ill Communcation is one of my all time fave albums - the BBs played a big part in my formative listening life - always loved them Adam will be massively missed.

Fight for your right to play bass...

Yep, big loss and such a young age. RIP

[foal30]

yes, bad news indeed.
Check your Head is a top record.

[gt4ever]

f***. gutted. lost for words

[thisnameistaken]

I'd heard he had cancer a couple of years back and they'd cancelled a bunch of shows and the planned album release but then they released Hot Sauce Committee Pt. 2 last summer I assumed he had recovered from it. Massive kick in the nuts to hear it killed him.

I don't normally do 'celebrity' mourning but this guy influenced what I did before I even realised he was a bass player. Then the first effects I bought for my bass were because I'd heard Beastie Boys do it, and the first double bass I bought was because I heard Beastie Boys do it.

Really sad.

[b]R.I.P. Nathanial Hornblower[/b]. The video to Sabbotage is an all time classic, for that alone you deserve a
place in Nirvana.

A hugely compassionate and talented human being, who stood up to be counted.

See you next time around. I'm ashamed to say I didn't even know you were in a bad way.

RIP

[Highfox]

Sad. Another one gone before their time
I got to meet them in 87, I remember that made my day. Creative guys that were well beyond all the hype and crap of the day.

[spongebob]

Total shame - one of my faves....I've got all their stuff, even the hardcore, the instrumentals....love it all.

Such a creative bunch....I've always admired how they genre-hop whilst keeping it real and not clichéd.

47 is no age.

[bartelby]

I love the bass line in Gratitude!

See you next time around

Indeed. Adam Yauch was a practicing Buddhist so he would believe in reincarnation so it's not so much a case of R.I.P but "see you next time around". Looking forward to it.
