Sad indeed..............I am sure he will not get as much press as some of the washed up crackheads did.

Very sad news . I to am a huge Beastie fan . I just love pauls boutique . When i first heard that record i sat out to find all the sampels . I still have some to go 20+ years after . But damm i have found much great soul music while searching for the samples . Thanks to MCA , Ad Rock and Mike D .

I still love the way they always make old school hip hop sound new and fresh in a old school way .

Did you get to see them live ? I did at least 2 times . Fist time was in 94 . This is on my to five concerts of all times . And i have seen ALOT as i have been working in the live buisness since 95 .

Saw them first at Glastonbury 94 bunked our way under the fence, superb set just as they released Ill Communication. DJ Hurrican had just released his LP so was doing some tracks with them too. Lost all the Bro's but we met up down the front just as they came on stage.

Saw the Hello Nasty tour on the revolving stage, the 5 Boroughs tour at Wenbley and the Mix Up album at Brixton. Got a huge collection of Beasties vinyl which will be getting a good airing this weekend.

The Beasties soundtracked my teen years and still do now. I was only reading the first issue of Grand Royal this week... Damn shame

Sad news. I know he's been ill for quite a while.
I love the Beastie Boys. I play pretty much every time i DJ. Ch-Check It Out is my favourite track.

Sad day indeed, as long as I have been into music the Beasties have been there. I always liked the way they just seemed to want to entertain. Their finest hour:

I always loved MCA's part on 'A year and a day' off of Pauls Boutique

Ok so you did see them . Great

PB is still my fave album with them but on al albums the drop a bomb on me . When hip hop is at it's worst they always make me smile with a new album . Where they show the new kids how it's done . And they always pay due to the guys before them .
Like this track http://youtu.be/WeUm2f4QlG0

Where the use Dobble Trubles rime and the Dj cuts up Rappers Delight Ummmm i love it .

Have you got the Bootleg record Beastie boys Demos ? It's from around PB

 

[PIGCITY]

Yeah I got those Demos, some of the tracks are better than the final versions I think.
Just stuck on the white vinyl Frozen Metal Head EP

Aint that the truth! :roll:

Smackhead Houston/Winehouse dies and it's all over the news for a week with people wailing outside her house. This barely even got a mention.

[weasel]

Have they released a C.O.D yet?

 

[Imperial nut]

Yep Cancer he was battling it for the last 10 years.

 

[PGowdy]

Yeah he'd been ill for ages.

 

[weasel]

Aye, I'd heard he had had cancer in the past wasn't sure if that was the official C.O.D or not.

RIP
