Very sad news. It looks like i have 80 of their tunes on itunes…retrospective commencing….
As someone who lost a parent to cancer at a young age…very very sad.
As someone who doesn't care for their music but is married to a Beastie Boys fan who I'm going to be in a car with for 4+ hours this weekend and who played Whitney Houston music nonstop for a week following her death…very very unfortunate.

Likewise, it's been since about 1998 since I've really listedn to the B-Boys, but I foresee myself revisiting this weekend.
RIP. Lots of fun times listening to those guys over the years.
Great show at the club, summer of 2004 maybe :(
Just awful.
The group is such a big part of our generation.
ugh

Yeah, haven't actively listened to these guys in quite a while, but this is a bummer.
Was just talking to a friend, and we both came to the conclusion that we probably wouldn't' even be the same adults we are if not for how much of a role the Beasties played in our formative years. Hell (and this is true)…I probably wouldn't have ultimately met my wife if not for a Beastie Boys show I saw a good five-six years before her and I met.
Mega bummed.

licensed to ill was an incredibly formative album for me. it was my first step on the road to punk.
and on a personal note, there's another band that i need to add to my should-have-seen-them-while-i-could-have list.

Saw their last show in the area at Ram's Head in 2009. MCA was off that night and you could sense he just couldn't give much, while Ad Rock and Mike D were trying to make up for it. I'm still glad I got to see them one last time. When they played "Sabotage" that was the most ferocious pit I'd seen in ages. They could do more than just rap. I'm very, very sad by this one. 47 is so damn young. I still listen to their stuff. "Paul's Boutique" could NEVER be released today. Can you believe how lucky we are that an LP basically steals 30 years' worth of R&B, funk, disco, classic rock and punk and turns it into something totally new? It still sounds amazing to my ears. RIP MCA.
Agreed about Paul's Boutique. Did you listen to the Sound Opinions podcast when they talked about how it wouldn't have been made today? Good episode.
So many fabulous moments driving around Harford County in high school listening to the Beastie Boys and being silly teenagers. My cousin and I listened to Hello Nasty every single morning on the way to work the summer it came out when we were in college.

the announcement is on the front page of every news service.
so, how long before some douche descends on here and informs us that the BBoys are over-rated?

As I Develop The Awakening Mind I Praise The Buddha As They Shine
I Bow Before You As I Travel My Path To Join Your Ranks,
I Make My Full Time Task
For The Sake Of All Beings I Seek
The Enlighted Mind That I Know I'll Reap
Respect To Shantideva And All The Others
Who Brought Down The Darma For Sisters And Brothers
I Give Thanks For This World As A Place To Learn
And For This Human Body That I Know I've Earned
And My Deepest Thanks To All Sentient Beings
For Without Them There Would Be No Place To Learn What I'm Seeing
There's Nothing Here That's Not Been Said Before
But I Put It Down Now So I'll Be Sure
To Solidify My Own Views And I'll Be Glad If It Helps
Anyone Else Out Too
If Others Disrespect Me Or Give Me Flack
I'll Stop And Think Before I React
Knowing That They're Going Through Insecure Stages
I'll Take The Opportunity To Exercise Patience
I'll See It As A Chance To Help The Other Person
Nip It In The Bud Before It Can Worsen
A Change For Me To Be Strong And Sure
As I Think On The Buddhas Who Have Come Before
As I Praise And Respect The Good They've Done
Knowing Only Love Can Conquer In Every Situation
We Need Other People In Order To Create
The Circumstances For The Learning That We're Here To Generate
Situations That Bring Up Our Deepest Fears
So We Can Work To Release Them Until They're Cleared
Therefore, It Only Makes Sense
To Thank Our Enemies Despite Their Intent
The Bodhisattva Path Is One Of Power And Strength
A Strength From Within To Go The Length
Seeing Others Are As Important As Myself
I Strive For A Happiness Of Mental Wealth
With The Interconnectedness That We Share As One
Every Action That We Take Affects Everyone
So In Deciding For What A Situation Calls
There Is A Path For The Good For All
I Try To Make My Every Action For That Highest Good
With The Altruistic Wish To Achive Buddhahood
So I Pledge Here Before Everyone Who's Listening
To Try To Make My Every Action For The Good Of All Beings
For The Rest Of My Lifetimes And Even Beyond
I Vow To Do My Best To Do No Harm
And In Times Of Doubt I Can Think On The Dharma
And The Enlightened Ones Who've Graduated Samsara

Other than me being half asleep and typing chemical instead of dust, here was my take on PB 8 years ago. Part of a great thread too - I should have asked that girl out. Feisty.
