RIP. Yauch was in the band when they were still a hardcore punk band, a sadly overlooked element of the band - interesting guy and I enjoyed reading some of his comments on the punk scene.

Balls, I wouldn't've known that if it wasn't posted here :(

Really sad that one, I was only listening to Ill Communication earlier this week.

Oh man, that's sad news.

It seems such a short time ago that he put up that vid on youtube announcing his cancer, and the prognosis sounded good. Very upsetting. :(
