Radiohead? Where's that coming from?

Mike Einziger is easily the best writer out there today. He really is the musical driving force behind the band. Listening to his work from Fungus Amoungus to ACLOTM is just so varied it's simply amazing. They went from a funk/jazz/metal thing to an epic experitmental rock band. The thing about Mike's playing is that it's never as easy as it sounds. Listen to Nebula, sh*t. The guitar is all over the place, not to mention all the effects his using. That takes a lot of concentration when you use effects like he does. He's a huge reason why I play guitar and why I'm in a band. He's a huge inspiration.

I fell in love with incubus the first time i heard their song stellar. them I started listening to their other albums and I cant believe how mellow this band is. Mike is like an idol to me. My favorite songs are Stellar, Wish you were here, Talk Show on mute, and Drive.

Incubus are a good band.

[I]A Crow Left of the Murder[/I], to me, is their best album.

Ben Kenney is great. He fits much better then Dirk would with the newer material.

yeah but Dirk definatly kicked ***

im starting to like Beware Criminal a lot recently, anyone else?

Oh there's no doubt about that, he was a solid bassist for Incubus. He just came off as arrogant at times.

KappaKid17 01-14-2005 11:41 PM

With talent such as his, I could see that being quite easy for him...

However Kenney, without a doubt, fits Incubus' current sound the best.

i.love.incubus

i know it ALL when it comes to incubus :)

i like everything they release, and strive to get anything they havent offically released myself.

mike einziger is a GENIOUS, i can't wait for his EP which I pray will come out. His work on the Time Lapse Consortinum is GENIOUS, and guitarists dream CD with 12 songs all written in a week

TonalMayhem 01-14-2005 11:45 PM

I love that band. They are quite possibly my fav. ever. I finally got the opportunity to see them live just last summer. It was fawkin' amazing. Einziger is my HERO, but I miss Dirk. My fav. cds I think were Make Yourself and Morning View. I liked MV just because it was a really chill cd. Something you would take on a long roadtrip ya know.

yes... ben kenney's new album is also amazing...

Incubus Rock! they are easily one of my favourite bands ever. There is nothin bad about them! I also love the fact that they aren't that well known in the UK

feeniks 01-15-2005 02:48 PM

Incubus is effing great and they're my fav band. I have all of their CDs and DVDs. Brandon is an amazing vocalist, Mike is one of the best modern guitarists out there, Dirk Lance was awesome and funky while he was with them and Ben is doing a nice job of filling in for him although you can't replace Dirk. Jose is a very original and different drummer.. as for Kilmore; He's cool. Haha.

If you have listened to all their CDs you can see how they and their sound are maturing.

ween2424 01-15-2005 08:22 PM

the greatest band. most original, most well rounded. brandon boyds vocals are phenomenal and his lyrics are well thought out. mikes a guitar genious. ben kenney is incredible. ive been a fan since the release of S.C.I.E.N.C.E. i was fortunate enough to see them on the latest tour, it was incredible. if you own the new dvd alive at red rocks you know what im talking about

KappaKid17 01-15-2005 08:32 PM

Sure do, and welcome! Good 1st post.

Janitor 01-15-2005 08:35 PM

Hmm. Kilmore never gets any respect.

KappaKid17 01-15-2005 09:47 PM

He always takes a backseat, but he's just as critical to Incubus' overall sound as anyone else.

oliveri4string 01-16-2005 09:01 AM

Incubus are an awesome massively underrated band who always get dumped with the "average" tag, but they're far more than that. They're music has never been too repetitive, has changed with every album, and shows they're a band who aren't afraid to up the ante by experimenting with all kinds of samples, effects and styles. Morning View is an awesome album, its the kind of album you can get lost in, particularly tracks like wish you were here, echo and Aqueous transmission.

The first cd's, fungus amoungus and enjoy are worth listening to just to see how far they've come. Also the volume 2 dvd is brill, loads of quality vids and live stuff, and the video for "take me to your leader" is bizarre but cool

KappaKid17 01-16-2005 01:36 PM

I just downloaded Incubus' entire performance at Rock in Rio, and it's amazing. Check it out on bt-torrent.com if anyone'd care to download it.

incubliss 01-16-2005 01:39 PM

twice i've seen you put that torrent site up, and twice it hasn't worked!

give me the right one now, i demand it. i need a torrent site again! :angry:

KappaKid17 01-16-2005 01:45 PM

haha, sorry.

Let me look for the correct link.

KappaKid17 01-16-2005 01:46 PM

BAH!

It's [url]www.bi-torrent.com[/url] .

That 'i' makes a huge difference.

Janitor 01-16-2005 01:49 PM

I have Under My Umbrella from the Rock in Rio performance. Is the rest as good as that?

incubliss 01-16-2005 01:55 PM

thank you!

i was trying stuff like bttorrent.com, bt-torrent.net, bt-torrent.org, everything i could think of!

thanks :D

[QUOTE=Janitor]I have Under My Umbrella from the Rock in Rio performance. Is the rest as good as that?[/QUOTE]

Yep, sure is. Under My Umbrella, between it and the Warmth, is probably my favorite Incubus song, ever.

IncMan 01-20-2005 08:11 AM

I have seen some great bands in concert and i dont think any of the any of them compare to the two incubus concerts i have seen. :thumb:
do you guys think incubus is one of the best live bands? if not then what band is better live?

opeth_oasis 04-29-2005 04:38 AM

I never knew what an amazing Incubus was. My friend let me borrow Morning View, and it appealed to me in so many ways. I later bought S.C.I.E.N.C.E, Fungus Amongus and Make Yourself. Fungus Amongus is the sexiest album ever

SuperNinja 04-29-2005 10:02 AM

Personally Incubus is my favorite band and anyone who says there selling out or they're newer stuff sucks well your wrong cause if u listen to all incubus each song has its own meaning and i think that all there stuff is great my favorite album would probably be Make Yourself Science for #1 Morning View ACLOTM #2

Ganondorf 04-29-2005 10:19 AM

That kid at the beggining of the thread who said that rap isn't real music is retarded.
