Incubus

[Janitor]

I meant three songs written since the recording of Crow.

[Sound Boy]

Will you ****ing read the thread before you reply? Christ. Just forget I even said anything, it's apparent you have no idea what I'm talking about.

i know what your talkin about..the past year or so... the Stealth songs were 3 songs on a soundtrack, so they halfassed it. just like in "familiar" it was more about DJ Greyboy and Brandon it sounded halfassed too..it just happens that "familiar" kicked alot of ***. only "make a move" got rotation here in the states and that was the good of the 3. so they didnt get much press on the whole thing. im not tryna argue with you dude i just saw "so-and-so should leave incubus" and i got heated. and this is the last thing i'll say about Brandon having the spotlight or whatever its because he's the lead singer. sooooooooooo many bands are noticed for their lead singer (plant, jagger, ozzy,cobain, etc) its just the way things go.

its alright to have a band noticed for their singer, but brandon is not the most talented individual in the group, thats the way it is

[Sound Boy]

its alright to have a band noticed for their singer, but brandon is not the most talented individual in the group, thats the way it is

no doubt...i thought Robert Plant was the least talented member of Led Zeppelin. and theres a bunch others
but thats a good example because its gonna be hard for a solo career to start after the band departs. both for Page and Plant and Page was amazing.

[\m/ vo|ati|e \m/]

They should play some TLC stuff live at inc concerts,its amazing i think mike did it to vent,as for people saying its all about brandon,right from day one hes been playing toppless he dont do it for the womens,mike got to showcase some solos his who guitar playing now is quite tecy compared to earlier stuff ,if mike left the band it wouldnt be the same and if brandon did DITTO,the band as a whole has changed since Alex left,and ACLOTM was the first album with new elements and a new feel.
The next album will be even more different,but will contain the 2 elements that are incubus,Brandons voice and mikes guitar.

Should we try to get this thread official, we should try to get a good name for the thread.

Yeah I think Brandon originally took his shirt off to either show his tattoos or cool off a little, but now I'm sure it's partly for the ladies. As for Mike: listen to anything before Make Yourself and you'll hear many solos. And the "elements of Incubus," as you call them, aren't just Brandon and Mike. They are all of the members, whether with Alex or Ben, it is the band collectively that makes the music. A Crow Left of the Murder wasn't the first "new" album, almost every album has been different, they like to explore their music a lot and that's one of my favorite qualities of the band.

i was too

[static]

I just got into Incubus recently when I purchased S.C.I.E.N.C.E. out of nowhere.
Holy shiznit! They are really funky! The only stuff I heard beforehand were the singles, which were just radio friendly rock songs, but songs like New Skin and Glass are absolutely incredible.

If you like S.C.I.E.N.C.E. then I recommend Fungus Amongus and Enjoy Incubus. They have changed quite a bit since those days though, but who knows what to expect from the new album?

Who wrote that song?
what do you mean?



by the way, it's "everything in ebb" i think

[Janitor]

It's actually Everytthing in Ebb. It took me awhile to notice that.

[Britton]

Hi guys.

I've been trying to learn "Drive" lately but I'm finding it really
hard without a copy of the audio. could some one please E-mail it to me?

it's brittonmadcap@yahoo.com

[Idiot Martyr]

It sounds like he says both in the song; I never could figure it out so I just say whichever. Thanks though guys. It's actually The 4th Movement of The Odyssey but let's not get technical. And Incubus wrote it. It's great fun to play too by the way.

Gotcha covered Britton.

[Britton]

Thanks Dude

I love that song

[Idiot Martyr]

Thanks Dude

I love that song

Me too, my friend and I covered it last year for a school talent show lol. It sounds a bit childish to play a high school talent show but it was great having an entire auditorium dancing and singing along with the chorus to the song.

[Sleeper]

Me and a few of my buddies did the song Drive for last years Talent Show, we should of done Just A Phase instead.

[Britton]

That's cool. my buddy and I play at this place called thr river walk
and we get all kinds of tips and stuff so I would like to play it down there

[Idiot Martyr]

Me and a few of my buddies did the song Drive for last years Talent Show, we should of done Just A Phase instead.

I'm looking to pull of Priceless or Sick, Sad, Little World next time. I've also considered Southern Girl and Here in My Room as good cover songs.

Wait do you live in Georgia? I'm sure there's more than one Riverwalk in the world but I have to ask.

[Britton]

Nope San Antonio!

It's a block away from the Alamo

[Idiot Martyr]

Nope San Antonio!

It's a block away from the Alamo

Ah I see. We have a Riverwalk downtown. We have a lot of venues downtown so I never know all of the bands playing.

[Britton]

Yea it's cool down here.

you play for a couple hours during the summer and 5000 people will see
you play (not kidding either)

[Idiot Martyr]

[Britton]

It's lots of fun. sometimes I go with this old guy (who plays alot like incubus)
He's increible...been playing his whole life 70 years. and He's played for millions
over the years (not just there though)

[mutant!]

Summer Romance and Drive (especially the post-Ben Kenney version) top the list for me. I also quite like Pantomime and Sick, Sad Little World.

[Sound Boy]

at the moment my faves are:

"Azwethinkweiz"
"Zee Deveel"
"Monuments and melodies"
"have you ever"
"steller/de do do do"

but thats just at the moment.

btw. i just saw a bootleg version of Stealth and the movie was kinda beat but "make a move" was played ALOT. like the plane downloads every song off the internet or somethin and everytime it attacks it plays that song.

[Sleeper]

I'm looking to pull of Priceless or Sick, Sad, Little World next time. I've also considered Southern Girl and Here in My Room as good cover songs.

Here in My Room would be great.

[Sound Boy]

With their side projects behind them, Incubus returned to the studio last month with producer Brendan O'Brien.

"We always make our records really quickly, and this time we're gonna just slow it all down," Einziger said. "Usually we write 12 or 13 songs, and then we just record them and that's it. We'd like to write, like, 40 songs and really spend a lot more time writing than we ever have."

Even though they're looking for calmness in the studio, the guys are already itching to get back on the road.

"We're talking about doing some shows in South America maybe later this year or sometime at the beginning of next year, whenever we feel like it's a good time to split and go down there," Einziger said.

I'm not sure how we can go about doing that, but yeh i would be down to change the name of the thread.

[black.hole.sun]

Could we have a vote of some sort?

[e p]

the title should be something like MX Yourself: Here in My Incubus Thread

[Sleeper]

We should get all the possible thread names together.

[mutant!]

Whats the post-Ben version like?
Ben plays the guitar part on bass and Mike plays chords on a Fender Rhodes. It's a bit slower too, and the bridge before the last chorus is extended for a few bars with some really nifty vocal harmonies. You can find it on Incubus-Online-View, that mother huge fan site. (Google it for the address.)

[Britton]

So I've learned alotta drive...it's really fun to play

[Sound Boy]

So I've learned alotta drive...it's really fun to play

Sounds like a good idea to me. How would we do it though. People could either post their votes here or send them to you while you keep the thread updated on the poll. I think the deadline-vote idea is a must though.

[Sleeper]

Ok, everyone who has a idea for a thread name.

Email me it:

tomashek@sbcglobal.net

When should be the deadline for emails? Discuss

I say a week from monday. I can't edit the thread name, so i think we need permission or something.

[natalie708]

Nobody mentioned the song by incubus Admiration, whos familiar with that one? i love it it beacuse its quite different, and really random how they have the violin in and evreything but it pulls off very well.

[mutant!]

I've never heard the song. Where's it from?

[Sound Boy]

How about Sick, Sad Little Thread?

**** what i said..i really like this title...probably cause its my favorite incubus song


and Admiration is the second best song they had onthe Stealth sdk. the first being make a move...like i said "neither of us can see" i dont like much cause i think they coulda had a better female vocalist. some one better to accent brandons vocals

[Sound Boy]

lets try to keep this thread bumped...how about if you were to make a "best of incubus" album..what would it consist of? lets keep it at 18 tracks max...

mine would be:

01.Clean
02.Have you ever
03.Sick Sad Little world
04.Nowhere Fast
05.Familiar
06.Summer Romance
07.Hilikus (enjoy version)

That drive version with ben is cool,i think they only did it at red rocks though with mike still on the piano,it was all class,i live in New Zealand Incubus have only came to our country once and it was in the North Island hopeing they will come down south soon!

as for the thread title "A Certain Shade Of Incubus" thats gota win!

send a email to an admin!

[mutant!]

No, they did it at MTV Supersonic as well (WTF is MTV Supersonic?) - at least, that's what my mp3 tag says. Anyway, I feel you man, I live in South Africa and I'm willing to bet I'll be cold in the ground before Incubus tours here.

[aaahhh52]

as far as i know thats the only version they play now (the bass version)

[Sound Boy]

yeah its just to put a spin on the overplayed so it can be fun to play again...

[Idiot Martyr]

It also makes it easier if Mike just stays on the piano after Here In My Room. And they don't have switch to an acoustic setting for one song.

yes, definetly! wow, i err, have been out for a while again. but man you knopw how long it took me to read all what i missed? jeez.

anywho, i think that an official thread would be great, and one more thing, you guys were talking about soundtrack songs by incubus, and some of you said not many were good. id have to disagree ( except familiar , ive never heard that) they are certainly different, but not bad. but one song that i definetly love that was a soundtrack song is crowded elevator. that song is amazing!

if youve never heard it, ill be glad to send it to ya.

glad to be back, lol.

Welcome back man.

Crowded Elevator wasn't written specifically for a soundtrack though. It was left off of Make Yourself and was added to the (was it Scream 3?) soundtrack later. It's just my opinion that they don't do their best work when they are forced into specific guidelines.

But I do love the Stealth songs.

And about the Jazzmaster, I'm going to do my best to coerce my family into getting me one for my graduation present lol. It might be hard though considering they just bought me a Vox AC30 CC212.

Haha yeah dude early Christmas present. I was practicing with the church band and my parents said it was hard to hear me. The next day I had a Vox AC30 :D

I will get a Jazzmaster before I die though lol. Don't get me wrong, the Mexican Telecaster sounds spectacular but I want the sound of the soapbars and the lessened sustain of the Jazzmaster bridge.

yo i just ordered these albums off of cdnow.com...its The String Quartet Tribute to Incubus vol 1 & 2...never heard them before...i heard a couple songs off the website but it was live.

i have the tool string tribute. alot of the songs feel empty without a drum track, like aenima, and schism. if you want i can upload it for you, just send me an email.

hyslop.simon@gmail.com

[enjoimx]

urg, i dont know if i really like tool. the yare creepy, i mean im not a wuss, its just some of the stuff they sing about is just wrong. it was either tool or a perfect circle that said in a song " jesus is coming to rape you". now i dont know about you, but that definetly is craazy. its sad too because i know that that guy has an amazing voice and the musicians are asesome, i used to listen to them untill i started to hear some of the lyrics.

[Skyler]

All of Tool's lyrics have a deeper meaning than what they appear to about.

[enjoimx]

well, singing a verse about jesus coming to rape you nomatter how deep it is, cant be good.

I think you are talkinbg about Opiate

"My God's will becomes me
When He speaks He speaks through me
He has needs like I do
We both want to rape you"

Right? It's just a condemnation of organized religion and mainly its followers and leaders; nothing special.

[Idiot Martyr]

Not that I know of. There's an acoustic version of A Crow Left of the Murder that you might be able to find (it was on the dualdisc version of the album).

[enjoimx]

Right? It's just a condemnation of organized religion and mainly its followers and leaders; nothing special.

what exactly, do you mean by that? i mean, from reading your posts and whatnot, i can tell you go to church, i dont know if you truly believe in god , and jesus ( not all churches teach that) and you dont have to believe to go to church, but i mean if you are a believer you dont find those lyrics odd?

[enjoimx]

AHHHHHHHH!! and yes about what someone said earlier about a clip in a dvd of brandon on the ground crying. yeah it was like a prank, cuz i remember seein it and like security walks up and starts to kind of get worried, but then you hear kilmor or mike say somthing like " its ok maN, he's just messing around." so umm yeah, i think it was on the morning view dvd. yes i have that, im not obssesed, i t was on sale or whatever and i wanted the dvd. so yeah its either on the morning view dvd, or morning view sessions. im pretty sure its the morning view dvd

[Janitor]

I completely forgot about that dvd. It's the Morning After Sessions. He's lying on his side with a puddle of puke next to his mouth, pretending he passed out or something.

The bit about Jesus coming to rape you isn't literal. All they are doing is condemning organized religion and what it stands for.

Perfectly normal thing to be talking about if you ask me.

[enjoimx]

well , i dont want to listen to someone who is going to condemn my religion, obviously they think its wrong./ and its too bad because they DO sound good, very talented and maynard has a very beautiful voice.

[Skyler]

They aren't condeming any specific religion, but organized religion in general because of how [optinion]hypocritcal and ridiculous it is[/opinion].

Besides, if you think it sounds good, just listen to it, even if you don't agree with the message it's conveying.

yo about the Morning View thing...i dont even think he was lying next to the puke i think he was like hovering his head above it...a prank as someone said...

but you know what ruins the Morning View Sessions dvd for me? when you watch brandon theres a guy in the background to the right who mouths the songs like OBNOXIOUSLY..and i cant help but look at the kid cause he's so damn dumb...if thats actually someone in this room im sorry but your an idiot.

that and when dirk steps infront of the camera during drive...but i think i mentioned that before in the thread

On the topic of that scene on the After Sessions dvd, are you talking about when he was laying on the ground and the security guy came over? I'm pretty sure they were pretending he got beat up and pissed on.

On the newest album (A Crow Left Of The Murder), you can try:
01. Megalomaniac
02. A Crow Left Of The Murder
06. Sick, Sad Little World
10. Zee Deveel

As far as I'm concerned their newer stuff is much more rock, whereas their older work leans more towards metal.

Let's not start that debate again. They aren't funk metal, although they were definitely metal. Funk was one of their many influences, the list of which includes hip-hop and traditional Chinese folk music as well.

Any news on a new Incubus album peeps?
The boys are recording it right now (or very soon), as I have it. I can't wait to see in what direction their music is growing.

Well, actually the more metal stuff sounds more interesting.
OK then, try Nice To Know You, Circles and Under My Umbrella off of Morning View; Privilege and Make Yourself off of Make Yourself; and Favourite Things and Vitamin off of S.C.I.E.N.C.E.

Is this general Incubus recommended listening or are you talking about the String Quartet versions? If the latter, point me to a link as my ISP blocks P2P software, scaly bastards.

For some reason, no-one in South Africa plays bass. I'm in a big-*** boys' school (1200 pupils), and yet I know of 5 guys in the ENTIRE school who play bass. (And none of them like Radiohead or Incubus.)

My sax teacher just lent me his copy of the string quartet's tribute to Incubus. Their version of Circles... That "cheap speaker" effect on the intro violin is beautiful.

And Sound Boy, about your earlier post - Priceless is my favourite track on ACLOTM. I just didn't include it because I don't think it should be forced listening, Incubus just don't do that kind of thing anymore. That dub breakdown is amazing though. The way the guitar and the... erm... effect thing and the bass and the drums layer, it's mind-blowing. And you gotta love the funky guitar.

One day, I want to play in a band that sounds like that breakdown. We'll be called "Junk" and we'll play jungle-funk all day long.

[Chilifanthatsme]

They're my second favourite band and i just love their music. I got , S.C.I.E.N.C.E., Make Yourself and Morning View. I love thier older, funkier, heavier stuff but also reallly enjoy their lighter, acousticy songs.

o ok, cool cool. so anyone know the main reason mike decided to change his gear? i quite liked that beastly mesa/ prs setup.

I remember reading an interview in which he said somehting like, "I had just gotten really comfortable with one sound and stopped trying other things. I finally decided that it was time for a change."

I'm paraphrasing of course, but from what he said I get the idea he just wanted to try something new and he apparently liked it enough to stick with it.

[enjoimx]

yeah i can definetly understand that, but man he relly knew how to get some tone out of a mesa.

[Idiot Martyr]

yeah i can definetly understand that, but man he relly knew how to get some tone out of a mesa.

Yeah, he also knows how to get a good tone out of his new rig; even though it took him forever to get it right live (I have so many recordings of them live where his tone leaves a lot to be desired).

[enjoimx]

yeah, like in certain parts of the live performances its just like " arg, mike what are you doing!. not so much anymore, but some.

[mutant!]

As far as his new material goes, he's got it right. But some songs - like (to me) Green - are suffering with the new equipment. They sound thin. Don't get me wrong, I would kill for a Jazzmaster, but that thing just can't compete in terms of thickness with a PRS/Mesa setup.

YES YES YES , thats exactly what i was talking about. old stuff like that, green, vitamin, and songs with that awesome reco distortion, they just sound too different with the new set up.

[Sound Boy]

i think thats part of the reason his guitar wasnt well heard in Alive at Red Rocks...i mean i have Surround Sound and it still doesnt sound as good as it could

[Idiot Martyr]

Well as Skyler is always saying; the volume of the instruments on that DVD is a lot lower than it should be.

[enjoimx]

yeah thats definetly true, and lol he did rant about that quite frequently. but you know what would be awesome? i think that if mike ran his jazzmaster thru his old setup, that would be nice. really nice. and kenney used dirks rig, because in my opinion, dirk used waaaaaaaaaaaaaay better gear than kenney.

[I feel Like a Hat]

Mike used to use his tremoverb with the jazzmaster. I know of him using it on the lollapalooza tour and I have a video from Italy in Jan '04 where he's using one. His distortion was really grainy and didn't sound very good. I think he should just switch to a PRS for some of the old songs instead of just sticking with the jazzmasters for pretty much everything.

[issues]

dirks set up was incredible! i have a guitar geek pic of his rig

http://tinypic.com/fbwcw8.gif

[Sound Boy]

i liked Bens bass sound..its kind like mine

[Idiot Martyr]

Dirk's rig was massive too. He said people always make fun of how massive it is but when they hear his tone shut their mouths.

And I have recordings in which Mike used the Mesa with his Jazzmaster and it sounded terrible.

ok i guess i was wrong about that:upset: . lol, but yes dirks rig was amazing, and not trying to start that whole arguement over again but i liked dirks style, even if it was a little less skilled. warwicks, i liked, his distorted tones ( like on favorite things) i loved. but thats just my opinion.

but yeah he should just switch from a his prs to his jazzmaster, im sure he could get a few stage slaves:lol: .

i would rather have a prs than a jazzmaster (sorry martyr, lol)

[Skyler]

Well as Skyler is always saying; the volume of the instruments on that DVD is a lot lower than it should be.

Yes, one of the reasons I despise that DVD.

[I feel Like a Hat]

I really didn't like the last tour much at all. I read in an interview with Brandon that on their next tour they're going to try out a "heavier concept". I think their going to get more into all the jamming and have some cool stage props and lighting and other stuff.

[enjoimx]

i think that the morning view tour was the coolest. man i wish i would have went to that.

[I feel Like a Hat]

If they could bring the vibe and atmosphere present on the Morning View DVD to a full sized concert, that would be incredible. I love the lighting and laid back feel the stage props and circular setup created. That combined with odessey-ish music would be so awesome to see.

[mutant!]

123.

I would like to add my 2c for the Ben/Dirk debate: Dirk's sound was awesome, he must have tweaked it so much to get it where it was. He was also one funky mother****er. That said, he didn't get along with the band so now he's out. Now Incubus have a new bassist who is skilled as well. As bands have to evolve over time to stay relevant, so you sometimes need to switch members. Ben has a kickass sound and style of his own, and whether or not he's better than Dirk is irrelevant: point is, he's now bringing his own influence to the band's sound.

And he's a rippin' backup singer as well. \m/

[enjoimx]

true true.

but man, if they could bring the mv vibe to a concert like hat said, i would pay so much money to see that, i would sell my house! lol. but they probably wont :(. i think that they will pobably have more little jam sessions like on the red rocks dvd, and stuff like that. but im sure they will come up with an awesome set.

[mutant!]

I'd love to see an Incubus jam set - to hear everyone, even Brandon on vocals, improvising. I swear they could do a 45 min jam if they wanted to.

I'd pawn my little brother to see that.

[Sound Boy]

i'd give an arm but...after the show so i can clap at how awesome that would be...im sure it'd last longer then 45 minutes though

I couldn't agree more.

[Idiot Martyr]

Oh and I would like to add to the discussion Einziger's gear by reminding everyone that he sometimes uses that green Telecaster with a humbucker in the neck. It's no PRS, but the humbucker adds a bit of a heavier sound.

[enjoimx]

really, didnt know that * bows down before martyr's einziger knowledge *

i saw him using a regular strat in the make a move video tho.

I don't think he uses strats much but I do recall him recording Stellar with a '70s Stratocaster. The Telecaster appears to be his downtuned guitar because he's only used on a few songs.

/Einziger nerd.

[Skyler]

Yep, the Telecaster is his downtuned guitar. He uses it on Agoraphobia primarily. He has 2 though, the one you described and a carmel colored one with a maple fretboard and the word "****er" on the headstock where the Fender logo would normally be.

The Strat he used in Make a Move was the Fender 50th Anniversary Gold Strat because the gold finish matched the whole desert theme in the video.

Well, I still have to decide, that's why I'm asking. At the moment, the Aerodyne Tele seems pretty sweet, it's got the standard Tele bridge pup and a p90 in the neck. The HC reviews are glowing. I'd probably replace the bridge pup with a SD Quarter-Pounder if the thing's not fat enough, and the p90 with a SD Vintage p90 if I can't get the "right" tone (seeing as Bellamy uses a SD Hot p90).

I meant like specific details about it. All I know is that it's yellow, most likely American, and downtuned.

lol, we all do, yeh i feel left out. al lthis in detail about mikes guitars /dont know, never knew. well ive learned somthing today. the tele must be pretty good then, i really didnt care for them, but on agoraphobia, that sounds like a nice tone.

Teles are ridiculously cheap nowadays. I agree with Idiot Martyr, grab a Mexican Standard. Or you could always splash out a little more for one of the "classic" series Teles - the 50's, 60's, 70's, '72 Deluxe and '72 Custom. I'd love the Deluxe.

I'm going to become a psychiatrist. In my state they make an average of about $124,000.

But I'm doing that because it's my passion, other than music of course.

[mutant!]

I'm going to get an honours degree in DSP. Bow down, mofo. :D

And then a degree in Advertising and Marketing. I don't know how much I'll be making but I can tell you there's gonna be hella jammings at my house.

[sugar66]

Incubus is one of the only recent mainstream rock acts that I really like. Morningview is one of the ultimate chill out album. Aqueous Transmission is one of my favorite songs.

I love you man.

I think they only achieved mainstream popularity post-Make Yourself. Anyone else agree?

[Skyler]

Yep. After Morning View came out, I noticed that their shows actually sold out and most of the new fans were girls.

[mutant!]

Yeah. That's not a bad thing though - the band was evolving and more people were liking them.

I know I'd want hordes of raving fangirls chanting "take it off!" all the time. :D

[The Flabbit Rides High]

I love them too. But ive gotten to this point where everytime I watch Red Rocks, and all I see is girls, it kinda makes me feel like I'm listening to someone like Ronan Keating.

They really need more guy fans.

..


:upset:

[mutant!]

...And yet somehow I don't know any girls who can name even one of their songs.

This, my friend, ....is excatly my point.:cool:

[mutant!]

:upset: True. But let me rephrase: I don't know any girls who call themselves Incubus fans.

I'll be indoctrinating my girlfriend in an effort to rectify this situation.

Haha nice. I know maybe 7 girls who can name songs (not just singles). One even swoons over their songs whenever I played them, but I don't like her so I started playing originals and just jamming in class instead.

[Skyler]

I've only known one really big Incubus fan that was a girl. She got two tickets for her birthday to the ACLOTM tour and she invited me.

[Sound Boy]

i know 3 or 4...two of them are hardcore incubus fans not just the gushy songs

[enjoimx]

your out of your element.

does anyone have any Kilmore tracks? like does he have solo anything? i'd like to see that. or DJ Lyfe vs. Kilmore...thatd blow my mind:confused:

[mutant!]

Haha, Lyfe vs Kilmore would kick some major booty.

I just bought and listened to Enjoy Incubus for the first time. HOOOOOOLY COOOW I've forgotten how cool Incubus were. That early material really showcases their progressive rock side. It's the closest I've heard to progressive funk. I'm digging it, of course. :thumb: It has reinspired me to blend classical music, funk, progressive and rock in one big melting pot.

[Sound Boy]

sounds good...but your a lil late on the melting...

other than that if Enjoy was a full album it'd be my favorite album. i think Enjoy incubus is why i dont listen to FA alot. i think the DJ completes incubus as a whole. "hilikus" has to be one of the dopest tracks incubus has. and i love how Brandon does the lil "mert" after the first chorus.. but yeah its a great 6 track*plus secret song* ep.

[enjoimx]

same here, enjoy incubus was a great album, if it was full it would be amazing, even more amazing than it already is. it a real peek into their creativeness.

[enjoimx]

err, BUMP

[Sound Boy]

im gonna make my kids listen to incubus.

[Half Life]

Incubus owns hands down(check avatar).

Jose is my bitch...and I have a secret plot to steal Brandons vocal chords...

[Son of Northern Darkness]

I like incubus.... I think thery're a really respectable band! I love "A Crow left of Murder".... Very cool album. I hate the way that Hoobastank is like a carbon copy of Incubus!! Hoobastank sucks balls!

Dude, that's BS. Hoobastank sound nothing like Incubus. At all. Hell, look at their roots: Incubus started out as funk rock, Hoobastank was ska-punk. Their lineups are totally different, and so are their styles. Hoobastank has much more of a punk element, whereas Incubus is sitting firmly in the rock genre.

And besides, the bands started out around the same time and they're good friends so they won't rip each other off. They have worked together though - the sax solo at the end of Summer Romance was done by the former saxophonist for Hoobastank.

[Sound Boy]

umm i beg to differ...Hoobastank does sound alot like Incubus...but like the least talented version. but if you wanna hear a song that sounds like a carboncopied incubus song listen to "i dont know" by Lostprophets, its even got the dj scratches and everything

[mutant!]

Not true. Hoobastank definitely have their own sound. I'm going to go listen to them now, so I can be sure.

...OK, I've listened to a few Hoobastank tracks. The only stuff I've been able to found that sounds like Brandon and the boys is the chorus riff to Crawling In The Dark. Even that has more of a punk element to it, as far as chords and feel is concerned. I can easily analyze all the different aspects of their music and show you where they differ and where they overlap - I can promise you there's more difference than similarity there. I respect Hoobastank for being who they are; like Incubus, they've changed a lot since their original incarnation.

I assume that Lostprophets track is on Start Something - which track is it? (I don't know the track names.)

[Sound Boy]

its track 1 on start something

i see most of Hoobaincubus in their first album with "crawling in the dark" the newest album with that "reason" song on it was crappy and didnt sound much like incubus. its mostly the vocals and guitar that they take after. i guess its just me but i think Hooba is influenced by incubus.

[black.hole.sun]

I would say that there is some element of similarity between the two, but Incubus is far more "rock," for lack of a better word, than Hoobastank. Also Incubus has a far more diverse sound IMO.
