Me too man, me too. I'm in a funky progressive rock band atm and I feel like covering the tune, but playing the main riffs on clean strat (bridge pup) and playing it real funky-like. Think it could work? And maybe giving the bassist a little more freedom to improvise.

enjoimx 01-31-2006 11:13 AM

sure, but not all clean, just i mean add a little bit of distortion, but even better some oD if you have a tube amp

I have a Marshall Valvestate. I may decide to use a Tubescreamer though... :) All this equipment (except the Marshall) don't belong to me yet. Musical gear in South Africa is expensive. :(

black.hole.sun 02-01-2006 03:03 PM

Their covers of Lets Go Crazy and Black Hole sun from the podcast are amazing.

enjoimx 02-01-2006 04:54 PM

Sound Boy 02-01-2006 06:51 PM

all thier covers are good...like "scrubs" haha. i just dont like their rendition of "immigrant song" the "ahhhahh"s sound crappy

\m/ vo|ati|e \m/ 02-02-2006 12:14 AM

Um it cant be Kilmore rapping on Smoking the herb again cause Dj Lyfe was the Dj then?

\m/ vo|ati|e \m/ 02-02-2006 12:15 AM

One of my Favs is the song Familiar i think brandon was just starting to find that melodic part to his voice....very cool.

\m/ vo|ati|e \m/ 02-02-2006 12:19 AM

Just out of interest whats everyones fav song to Play by inc,i still love drive when you play the opening first bits peoples faces light up cause i think just about everyone likes that song,pardon me is a wicked song to play also Echo stella etc,i find there new stuff a lil harder,i love the warmth acoustic too fun to play.anyone keen to post some clips of there covers?>

gmoneyguy 02-02-2006 12:24 AM

I suggeest editing that all in to one post

Sound Boy 02-02-2006 04:54 AM

[QUOTE=\m/ vo|ati|e \m/]Um it cant be Kilmore rapping on Smoking the herb again cause Dj Lyfe was the Dj then?[/QUOTE]

nah dude. that album was recorded after Make Yourself (kilmores first album with Incubus). Hence the acoustic versions of songs that were on Make Yourself. Trust me, when it comes to Incubus...i know whats up.

as for fav incubus songs to play. "Sick Sad Little world" on guitar (minus parts of the solo cause i dont have a bunch of pedals and whatnot). "are you in" and "privilege" on bass. and "glass" on drums. and i stepped in my friends band to play "clean" on the the Djembe...its actually really easy. i have yet to find a person who can play "i miss you" on the drums though..its very difficult 3/4

Sound Boy 02-02-2006 05:02 AM

the bass version of "Drive" is also really fun

mutant! 02-02-2006 06:45 AM

[QUOTE=Sound Boy]the bass version of "Drive" is also really fun[/QUOTE]
1 to da 3. That's one of my favourite basslines of all time. And it exemplifies my entire philosophy of songwriting, in that the bassist should be playing the riffs and whatnot and the guitar/keys/whatever else should layer interesting stuff on top, as opposed to the guitarist thinking up his riffs and forcing the bass to stick to root notes.

black.hole.sun 02-02-2006 11:00 AM

The acoustic versions of "Certain Shade
of Green" and "Summer Romance" are so much fun to play.

Chilifanthatsme 02-02-2006 12:51 PM

Favorite Song - Summer Romance or Are you in?
Favorite Band Member - Einzigner or Boyd
Favorite DVD - N/A
Favorite Album - Morning View for relaxing

yes indeed. i totally agree and its how i write all my songs. bass first

[QUOTE=Sound Boy]yes indeed. i totally agree and its how i write all my songs. bass first[/QUOTE]
Aren't you a bassist? :lol: I play guitar and I still let my bassist come up with riffs first. In either case I've stopped trying to write songs for my band on my own. It just doesn't work. I now write lyrics, and then jam with my bassist and lead guitarist until we come up with some funky progression or groove, and [i]then[/i] lock myself in my room with a guitar, finishing the structure and melody.

Sound Boy 02-02-2006 04:58 PM

yeah if i dont come up with a bass riff i usually do a drum beat or have a drummer play a beat and then come in with the bass riff. cause when i play bass, 90% of the time i play to the drums. it comes from years of listening to Zeppelin and appreciating a good rhythem section. dont get me wrong, guitar is badass and means alot to the music but can mess up a musicians ego and sometimes mess up a song. and if a guitar part is written first, alot of times it limits the bass and drums

black.hole.sun 02-04-2006 02:25 PM

Its so much better writing guitar riffs anyway when the rhythmn has been put down. Its like half the work has already been done, that is, having the time signature and rhythmn already set.

mutant! 02-05-2006 10:35 AM

^ The same goes for chord shapes etc. Once the bass progressions and riffs are sorted out, the guitarist can choose which of 400 chord voicings to use every bar.

I'm listening to ACLOTM again a lot lately. It defines what a rock record should be, in my mind - varied, technical, layered, musical, both melodic and groovy. Yeah. \m/
