I remember borrowing License to Ill from you from time to time. Agree, very sad day.Originally posted by UtahDan View PostI remember being in 5th grade and asking everyone to give me music for my birthday. Among the things I was given were License to Ill, Graceland, Slippery When Wet and Invisible Touch. All of which I listened to until the tapes damn near wore out. Yauch is ten years my senior but this just feels like one of my people died somehow.

Well, because he thought it was good sport. Because some men aren't looking for anything logical, like money. They can't be bought, bullied, reasoned, or negotiated with. Some men just want to watch the world burn.Comment

Cancer sucks. I really enjoy the Beastie Boys as do my kids. Sad day."You interns are like swallows. You shit all over my patients for six weeks and then fly off."

I was lucky enough to see them in the late 90s in Salt Lake (the E-center, I think). Tribe Called Quest opened for them, and Q-tip came back out for "get it together." One of my favorite memories.Originally posted by Omaha 680 View Post

I remember how excited I was when paul's botique came out. When I heard this one I knew the Beastie Boys were not a one trick pony.
Paul's Botique will always be my favorite record.

Holy hell. Just found out. This sucks. One of the voices that defined my younger years. For better and worse but mostly better.Ute-ī sunt fīmī differtī

Sucks.
I love the Beastie Boys. This is definitely worse than when my mom took my best porno mag...Don't worry about people stealing your ideas. If your ideas are any good, you'll have to ram them down people's throats.

I saw them in CA in 1993 just weeks before leaving for the MTC. Got to their gig early and found Ad Rock and MCA out with the grips plugging in cables and testing tech - at a point when they had been superstars for years. They weren't asking for or getting any deference from the dozen or so techs they were working with. Just taping stuff and checking connections like they were being paid by the hour. No one who didn't know better would have guessed they weren't just crew. That's my enduring impression of MCA.Ute-ī sunt fīmī differtī

Full disclosure: I have never much cared for the Beastie Boys. I know that is not a very popular opinion amongst people my age and will not endear me to the music aficionados here (or anywhere) but it's true. Their sound never really resonated with me for some reason. I don't hate them--I won't turn them off if they are on tv or the radio--but I will provably never choose to listen to them, either. I have tried to like them. I really have. I wanted to like them in high school to the point of pretending to like them in hopes I would actually learn to like them. It didn't work.
Many of you now think less of me, but so be it. I respect their impact on the music industry, and their body of work as a whole. But I'm just not a fan.
RIP, MCA.

Since everyone is throwing out their Beastie Boys concert lineage......LET ME CLEAR MY THROAT!!!!
That is pretty much the mother QED of all QED.Fitter. Happier. More Productive.

Except the pretending to like them thing, that is pretty much where I stand on the Beastie Boys. The only song that I ever really liked was the song they did with Tribe and that was basically just because it sounded like a Tribe song.Originally posted by Donuthole View PostAs I lead this army, make room for mistakes and depression

Just like when Kurt Cobain died, I'm sure we'll see some new "longtime" Beastie Boys fans."Sure, I fought. I had to fight all my life just to survive. They were all against me. Tried every dirty trick to cut me down, but I beat the bastards and left them in the ditch."
