8 years ago today Adam Yauch of the Beastie Boys passed away.

[Remington]

Sleep well Adam.
I smoked a joint with him in the late 90s inside Limelight nightclub in NYC in the 90s.
Memories...

I saw them in 80’s. We were close and side stage. They had a garbage can filled with ice & beer for each of them.

Mike Tyson was back-stage (this is before he was a champion). Towards the end of the show he put one of them on his shoulders and started walking through the crowd.

Love me some Beasty Boys. RIP !

My there favorite Beastie Boys shows!

1992 - CU Field House with House of Pain - Posse in effect into Shadrach

1995 - Red Rocks with The Roots - Stand Together into Sure Shot into Time to Get Ill

2004 - Red Rocks with Mix Master Mike - Root Down into Sure Shot opener - unreal

I’ve seen than more than I can remember, but those 3 shows stand out







Thank you for the reminder! I’ve been caught in my own shit, I would’ve forgotten!

I will keep him and the rest of the crew rocking as I go through chemo and radiation today. FUCK YOU CANCER!

I wish Mike D and Ad Rock would do something, but I get it. Hard to go on without him. Much love!

Thanks for this Remington, gave me the juice I needed this morning!

Never got to see em in person


But, I lived it - they were my whole growing up in the early/mid 90's



I mean, Brass Mokey < come on




It really does stand true - only the good die young



Fucking sucks

Man I love the Beastie Boys. I remember when I discovered them in 1998 with the song “Intergalactic,” then I bought that album and started listening to everything else. They were the first rap group I listened to then, as I was around 12-13.

I remember in 8th grade I was listening to them on my CD player in home room, and the teacher asked me if I’m listening to the Beastie Boys, and he was really surprised that I was listening to them as it was from his era. He was probably 28 at the time.

Every once in a while I’ll go on a Beastie Boys binge. Legends.

Back in 1989-1990 that’s all I heard all over NY - beastie boys everything

I still have every CD they put out I believe


And, I am pretty sure I still remember every lyric to Brass Monkey

Love that song. It’s wild how much they evolved from “License to I’ll”. They just continued to grow as artists exponentially, but they never lost touch with who they started out as.

We crank Brass Monkey at my house on the regular. My two boys (10 and 6) know every word in that song and think it’s just hilarious, they obviously have no ideas what the song even means, but they giggle every time they say

“ Brass Monkey that funky Monkey, Brass Monkey junkie, That funky Monkey...

And - just to die, early af

I didn’t even hear a word of the anniversary of his passing on TV or anything

Life really got me fucked up here recently

[SampsonandDelilah]

Sad that his passing didn’t get more attention. Shout out to Remington for starting this thread, really did make my day! Happy we’re all able to honor him here.

Hang tough Samson, I get it. I really fucking get it. After the bottom the only way left is up. Day by day, step by step.

All the best brother
