Beastie Boys

First Dick Clark and now this. It saddens me to report that Adam Yauch (a.k.a. MCA) from the Beastie Boys has lost his battle with Cancer. One of the founding members of the Beastie Boys, Adam has been fighting a bout with throat cancer since 2009...

Adam “MCA” Yauch, a member of the influential and legendary New York rap group the Beastie Boys passed away today at the age of 47. MCA leaves behind not only a nation of hardcore fans, but a legacy of music that will love on for generations.

Soundgarden have released the video for "Live to Rise" from Avengers Assemble. It's the first video in 16 years from Chris Cornell and company. But if you don't want any spoilers about The Avengers, we'd suggest avoiding the clip, as it has plenty of action sequences from the soon-to-be-blockbuster...

Red Hot Chili Peppers, the Beastie Boys and Green Day kept the five-and-a-half-hour Rock and Roll Hall of Fame Inductions party hopping last night (April 14) at the Public Auditorium in Cleveland, Ohio.

Mike Diamond, aka Mike D of the Beastie Boys, has brought together some of his favorite visual artists for an exhibition at the Museum of Contemporary Art in Los Angeles. The show, ‘Transmission L.A.: AV Club,’ will run from April 20 to May 6.

This has always been one of my all time favorite music videos. It aired constantly on MTV right before they started taking the "music" out of "Music Television." The video screams "Bad ass-ness." Directed by Spike Jonze and the "B Boys" first single released off of their fourth studio album "Ill Communication...

Listen to this morning's report   Slipknot and Stone Sour frontman Corey Taylor will kick off a solo tour next month. An Evening With Corey Taylor will include an acoustic set, a reading from his book Seven Deadly Sins and a fan question-and-answer session at each stop...

It's been a long time since the Beasties released a new album. "Hot Sauce Committee" was set to drop in September of 09, but Adam was diagnosed with Cancer. (sidenote: this is a valid reason for a band to push back an album release date. Drug problems/overdose, divorce, band fighting, herpes are NOT good reasons)...
