Adam Yauch, a founding member of one of the world’s most successful hip hop bands, the Beastie Boys, has died after a three-year battle with cancer.

The 47-year old’s distinctive voice and rapping style made the band stand out from the rest in their genre, ushering in a rise to stardom in the mid-1980s.

The band has sold more than 40 million records and was inducted to the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 2012.

You can easily tap into the sound-sculpting power of Thor’s filters, envelopes, and effects by adjusting each preset’s “Tweaks”. Don’t know what a filter or envelope is? No problem!

So far the guitar strumming robot has pleased the amused the public with its performances. Each movement has been carefully constructed and took a significant amount of time according to Kuglar.
The future of heavy metal may just be that- metal.
