Old Composer REACTS to Incubus
Do more incubus. Such a criminally underrated band. Everyone mostly knows them for radio jams, but their deep cuts are where they really shine. One of the best live bands I've ever seen as well. MORE INCUBUS.
Thissss. I love them so much and everyone needs to experience them!
Agreed...
100% john way underrated ...live there amazing
Agreed
@@alrose6915 What are they doing now? I always liked them a lot.
Incubus âThe Warmthâ
That was my favorite 20 years ago
Live Morning View Sessions of courseđ
100%
my fav track of theirs
Hell yeah
@@perhvarnes same and still listen regularly
Most of the ambient stuff is guitars, their guitarist is legit.
Their drummer is sick af too
His kit is ridiculous. Reminds me of Brain's setup
i loooooove the acoustic versions of songs. the chord choices are crazy, ive been playing for over 20 years and still get tripped up with some of the finger positions for their chords.
Drive is one of the hardest songs to play I've tried so far. The chords are just so weird
@@Zander_Schilling I feel ya on that. I learned how to play new skin pretty quick even though some of it has some unorthodox chord voicings with the finger placement but yeah mike plays some chords that aren't used much in rock music and they sound perfect.
@@Rtapley89 yeah, Mike is almost like a Jazz guitarist deciding to do alternative rock. I love his chord choices and ambient tones.
Aight I'm convinced you have a direct line to the playlist on my PC.
Dude same
Same, same đ
Who would say that there are still some connaisseurs around in this day and age...
Seriously, the audioslave, tool, System of a Down and other bangers heâs been doing have been sweet
Yep here 2...I'm not alone. Lol
I love that you are recognizing Mike as the great guitarist that he is. Heâs so incredibly underrated.
S.C.I.E.N.C.E. is literally one of the best albums of all time. Everything on that album is gold.
These videos rule đ€
Agreed, definitely in my top 10.
100% agree.
Too bad they donât play Songs off S.C.I.E.N.C.E. that often. Iâve seen them 4 times and Iâve only heard New Skin and Vitamin live.
S.C.I.E.N.C.E and morning view are their best albums in my opinion. Different ends of the spectrum but very well done. Fungus amongus was alright, Make yourself was kind of trying to fit a square peg into a round hole catering to the skateboarding kids, a crow left of the murder was meh and light grenades was non climatic for me although somewhat catchy. After those I stopped listening, but I still dig out the others relatively often.
Nothing but facts here.
Give 'A Certain Shade of Green' from S.C.I.E.N.C.E. a go - absolute banger đ€đ»
Love the entire album, and that's arguably my favorite track
^ This.
âGlassâ would be my favorite track off S.C.I.E.N.C.E. But CSoG is killer as well.
S.C.I.E.N.C.E. is fantastic from beginning to end. First time I ever heard Incubus was a festival in 1999, and they were playing mostly songs from that album. I was hooked immediately. I've seen Incubus probably 7-8 times, and actually hung out with them backstage in '01. Unfortunately, I feel they'll really lost their way after A Crow Left Of The Murder.
The song that got me in to Incubus!
The album "Make Yourself" dropped at a very key point in my life. The title track was a gut punch, one of the initial sonic catalysts that makes me who I am today. To all of ya out there, Make Yourself.
Same man. Right outta high school and Bam this hits like Mike Tyson, right in the face. What a great time for music the 90's were.
This was kind of right on the cusp
Heard Incubus for the first time when they opened for Primus just before this album dropped. I was blown away, best opening act I have ever seen. This track still gets me every time, love it.
Make yourself remains one of the top 10 most influential albums in my life
I can relate, this album and Morning View were so meaningful to me throughout my late teens/early twenties... all the memories and angst of those âgrowing upâ years is brought back through this music. Never fails to amaze me that music has the power to feel so personal and yet so unifying through the shared experiences of others.
When I listen to Incubus, so do my neighbors. PAAAARDON MEEEEE WHILE I BURST INTO FLAMES
Make Yourself is a killer album. Not a single weak track & let it play
One of the few albums I play beginning to end with zero skips. It's perfect.
one of those rare albums that's literally great start to finish... not too many albums I can say that about...
I respect Make Yourself but I love S.C.I.E.N.C.E
Facts.
@@HiddenHandMedia This is the way.
"The Warmth" by Incubus is to this day a song that I can listen to at anytime. Off the same album which I contend is their best not that the others aren't great.
Prettiest song they ever recorded.
Such a great song
that's the one with the sort of whale sounds in the beginning yes? it's been awhile since I've listened to "make yourself," so I just wanna double check... but if it's the song I'm thinking of, it's one of my favorites by incubus in general.
@@jillybeangaming thats the one!
Such a good song, definitely give The Warmth a listen
My favorite band. Theyâre INSANELY eclectic. Some people donât realize that because their biggest songs are usually straight forward pop rock songs, but they came up as pretty much brother bands with Deftones and System of a Down. Those guys all came up together. Incubus touches on rock, pop, metal, jazz, prog, electronic, and even Chinese Traditional music! Their guitarist went to Harvard to study music theory and has worked extensively with Hans Zimmer on movie scores. Check out Sick Sad Little World. If you want something really wild, check out their prog epic they made for the Halo soundtrack. Itâs 4 different movements of Mike being an absolute creative wizard with the guitar.
They were my teenage band and got me into eclectic music. Then I graduated onto Mr Bungle, Faith No More etc which totally influenced Incubus. Now I'm into Ween, Talking Heads and Primus. The list goes on.
Sick Sad Little World is my favorite, as a looong time listener of them, it's so damn good.
Make Yourself was one of the biggest sonic influences I had as an adolescent. It blew open the doors to multiple genres that I had never encountered growing up in a Country/Christian music household. Will forever cherish this album.
Are you me?
I've been WAITING for Incubus!!! Listen to everything dude!! Love you! Keep it up!!!
Ya almost no one does them and they are missing out
Definitely should keep exploring 'Incubus' as a whole. One of those bands where everyone is a gifted musician.
It would be great if you could check out some of their tracks from Morning View, perhaps Just A Phase or Aqueous Transmission!
Goodness i do like me Aqueous Transmission
Aqueous or Under My Umbrella would be sweet
Omg yes, that album is still in my top 100 and I listen to everything from jazz to heavy metal so it takes a damn good album to make that list
I forgot Just a Phase
Battlestar Scratchalactica would also be nice :]
Incubus is a good one, stellar great song by them as well.
Waiting on VICARIOUS tho
I've seen over 100 bands live and Incubus is one of the best live bands I have ever seen.
Ditto!
Mike einziger The guitarist is largely underrated that man makes some awesome ambient sounds like the ones you hear in the background on this track. It's cool because on some songs he works with the DJs samples on his guitar with the plethora of effects pedals he uses and allows the bass guitar and drums to take center stage..to me that makes him coming back in with the heavy riffs just that much more hard hittingđȘ
A Crow Left of the Murder, Rogues, Anna Molly, Sick Sad Little World, 11am...and yes, The Warmth.
Mike absolutely kills it in Sick Sad Little World. Definitely would want you to dig into the Incubus discography like you did with Tool.
Sick Sad Little World is perhaps Incubus' greatest song ever. Even better than anything on S.C.I.E.N.C.E.....and that album slaps like hell.
Heh
Dig
Agreed.
Azwethinkweiz, nuff said
@@lipayy9852 I think you may be onto something.
âSummer Romance (Anti Gravity song) is one of my favorite Incubus songs. Jazzy, rocky, a little bit of everything . Jose Pasillas is in my top 3 of drummersâ€ïžđ
You've gotta give "A certain shade of green" a listen, also, the singer, Brandon Boyd, is in my opinion a massively underrated singer. You hear it a lot more in some of the newer things but he's really got a solid, solid voice.
Beyond being one of the best mixes Ive ever heard on a song, that band will be heard for the next 50+ years, and every generation that hears them will say they were COMPLETELY underrated!!!
Incubus was the band we didn't deserve.
Both Deftones and Slipknot also have a DJ in the band.
Wow, I didn't know that - thank you!
And linkin park, limp bizkit, everlast... Part of those times =D
I was totally gonna mention Slipknot after hearing the opening comments here... You're forgiven, though, considering Sid sometimes gets lost with everything the other 7 of them are doing đ
@@Spitx I am pretty sure Geebz hasn't reacted to them yet though.
I think the best band to listen where DJ is recognizable and makes a big difference in a song is Linkin Park. Sid from Slipknot is awesome, but they also have Craig doing samples and keyboards, where Hahn from LP does everything alone
Brandon Boyd has one of the best voices!
Literal GOAT band for me. Brandon and Incubus have helped shape and define me into the person I am today.
This band is amazing. They sound amazing live.
They have such great sounds
Aqueous Transmission n Loneliest are 2 to songs to put your ears to work.
The thing I always liked about incubus is all The members in the band get there own moments to shine in their songs.
Facts
@@susan3242 true there's always a section for them to contribute
Incubus, 311, and Tool. My favorite bands
Loving this 90s alt journey you've been taking lately!
Incubus is one of my ALL-TIME FAVORITE bands. They are the band that got me into the music i love.
The musicianship of Incubus is amazing. You should definitely look into their older stuff from the first 2 albums.
Saw them at a lollapalloza one year with janes addiction, audioslave, and queens of the Stone Age. Amazing live show !!
I am so envious of you, I bet that was epic
I did too! I Phoenix. It was the second time Iâd seen them. In Phoenix, in place of Queens of the Stone Age, it was A Perfect Circle though
@@heighleybaily8037 I was their with my husband at the time. He used to give me shit about my music. Some of his comments were: is it weird if I say how good looking he is ??
No dear itâs Chris cornell everyone thinks heâs beautiful âșïž then perry was on stage with 4/5 women scantily clad dancing and he was in leather pants no shirt and all over the stage. He said âTheres so much going on I donât know what to look at first.â Lol then incubus. He kept saying âoh I know this song â I said see my music isnât shit, youâve been listening to it on the radio and you didnât even know. I had such a migraine towards the end from screaming so much, but I just couldnât stop. It was truly amazing.
Wish You Were Here will give you ocean vibes.
a great song...."Drive" next perhaps?
the perils of being in 3d ....has there ever been a more apt description of life?? BB is a god-tier level songwriter, singer and just all-around musical talent and incubus is the most influential band in my life ...science is top 5 albums all time for me
The Guitarist, Mike Einziger, has pedals he's swelling in and out during the verses. He get's crazy inventive with his pedals (he has a whole pedal array he calls the "Gonkulator") DJ Killmore does more scratching in this song, but he does do loops in some songs and also plays the keyboard.
This album in particular, the snare sound just has SO much attack, and the immediate airi-ness to it.. I LOVE the snare sound in this album.
Please do "Sick Sad Little World" if you decide to revisit Incubus!
This. This so much.
yeah always thought this was their master piece
Yessssssss.
Live at red rock version.
@@MalickNelson ACLOTM is their masterpiece and no one can tell me otherwise
No matter what style of music they are performing it's done with thought, care, and passion. Love every album (8 is a little weak but still great!) Truly one of the great bands during this generation
Theyâre volume swells that einsinger does, so everythingâs on guitar. So much talent. Sick dad little world, a lot of the background stuff is the dj too when they play live at least. And of course Mike E, absolute beast
Definitely gotta do their live stuff if possible. They sound so good live & the vibe they give is part of the appeal imo
I love their stuff. Mike Einzinger's guitar work is incredible.
There's a reason Incubus is one of the only 90s alternative bands anybody still likes. You should check out Jose Pasillas's drum clinic where he plays over a live recording of Sick Sad Little World.
A recommendation for a follow up would be "Dig" by Incubus, but you would also need to have the lyrics. His voice and the emotion of the song based on the lyrics are just incredible. Love the channel, keep it going!
Yeah, more Incubus! A very talented and professional band, loved them for years.
DUDE. You HAVE to do more Incubus. These guys will take you on a ride.
This album still resonates with me today.
Please do more Incubus!!
Wish you were Here
Aqueous Transmission
Megalomaniac
Sick Sad Little World
Dig
Oil and Water
One of my favourite bands ever!!
Incubus... Dig, Promises Promises, Into the Summer
Incubus is fantastic.. So many great songs.. More Incubus please..
Never fully appreciated incubus till I saw them live for their morning view tour. These guys are fukn legit! Absolutely amazing musicians, great show! Been a huge fan ever since.
Incubus is elite
Thanks for the reaction. Incubus is one of my favorite bands. This album and video was the beginning of more woman going to shows. Before this it was mostly guys. I did not mind that at all.
My wife and her friends all love Incubus as well. We went to the 20 year anniversary tour of the album this song is from , Make yourself in 2019. They played the album from start to finish. Hoping they will do the same for Morning View.
What I love about Incubus is that they have progressed with each album as they have aged. Some bands just keep trying to recreate their first album.
Please react to Vitamin, The Warmth, Rogues, Pantomine, 11 AM or Karma, Come Back.
Incubus are one of my favorite bands.. such a great back catalogue of music so many great tracks to get into... Great song ..
Incubus was the first band I saw live. I love them! I really hope you react to Coheed and Cambria!
Coheed all day, Incubus for life
@Ryan I got screwed out of that concert aswell in SLC 1999 Black Sabbath reunion tour..freakin ozzy "got sick" and cancelled TWICE!!...if i remember Rob Zombie and Godsmack were on that tour aswell..
I added Coheed and Cambria to my list a couple weeks ago. But what would be the best song to start with?
@@KeyOfGeebz Gravemakers & Gunslingers is killer.
@@KeyOfGeebz keeping secrets of silent earth 3, or the crowing. Most would suggest welcome home, but while it's a great song, I think keeping secrets has more depth musically, at least in my opinion... Plus most who do welcome home end up listening/reacting to the video which cut out half the intro and outro. Mahalo Geebz! Can't wait for Coheed, we are one among the fence!!!!
"Stellar" is one of my favorite songs by them. It's a beautiful album!
The bass guitar is so forward in this song.
Please do more from these guys! They're my absolute favorite band and their catalog is massive! Their sound evolves with each album and I HIGHLY recommend you check out the warmth from make yourself and megalomaniac from the album a crow left of the murder.
Deftones technically have a DJ, although Change is the only song you've done where he used turntables.
i would LOVE to see him cover a deftones song... i would recommend it myself, but I can't decide which song.. too many amazing tracks to choose from..
@@jillybeangaming he already did Change and Passenger.
He did Change, Passenger, and Sextape. But I wonât complain if he does more!!
Frank NIT uses turntables on almost everything. He uses them the same way they used to use tape to do musique concrete but uses keyboards now a lot more than he did originally in the band
lol I knew someone would bring up Deftones
Aqueous transmission is one of my favorite songs by them. So chill
Incubus is a very vocally driven band. I mean the vocals seem to drive the track and the instruments play around them.
Under my umbrella, one of my all time favsđ€.
This band is amazing live, Branden is also so underrated
Woohoo! First time you've hit on one of my top 3. Incubus, genre-bending, self empowerment tunes. LOVE them.
Incubus is my favourite band, I have followed them for about 20 years. Listen to them everyday. This has brought me so much joy this morning đ Also so great to read all the lovely comments from other Incubus fans. We are the best đ
this was a great choice. very unique band and sound
âWarningâ is my absolute favorite Incubus song and definitely worth a listen
So funny, I recently started re-listening to Incubus in the last few weeks. They were a huge part of my junior high days, funny how Geebz just happened to get into them now :)
Incubus musically are just brilliant bass fat smooth melodic, drums on point technical, guitar effects chords are just sick, he figures out a way to say ok this is A D G what notes can I add to the chord to make it unique and sound different!! U get funky ass chords learning there musicâŠ. Chords u donât see anywhere⊠and sounds !! And the DJ is wicked good and just suits them so much!! Underrated band they really are!!!
Some of the best live shows Iâve ever seen INCUBUS
I remember seeing incubus open for 311 way back when. What a great night
They did a jazzy acoustic version of this. It's quite sweet.
I love playing it on acoustic. Challenging.
These guys were in their early twenties when this came out. In some of their early tracks you can tell they multi-tracked live, not bothering to remove some artistic bleed. Definitely worth checking out tracks like; Calgone, Nebula, While all the Vultures Feed, Quicksand, Sick Sad Little World, Pistola, Makeout Party, and the Odyssey collection. Their DVD from Red Rocks Colorado, 2004 is one of the coolest live shows I've seen. I'm also a big fan so maybe bias.
True story: just before these guys got big, I saw them open for 311, McNichols Arena, Denver, CO in like 1998. Booed off the stage after like a 15 min bongo solo. Dude must have been stoned. XD Turns out they're actually pretty good.
I luv Incubus & I'm sooo glad u did this because I'd kind of forgotten about them& now I'm gonna relisten to them!đ»đž
Man.... brings me back. In 2004/2005 I had a killer gig in a club year round. Every staff member would get up on stage and perform something. Being part of the house band, I played everything from Phil Collins to Rage against the machine, ABBA to System of a Down. I was the guitar player, but I swapped places with another employee to sing "Pardon me" while he played the guitar. I had almost forgotten about it! Such great times!!!
I'm so glad you're getting to Incubus. My suggestions for next songs to cover not in any order.
Sick sad little world (alive at red rocks version), Pendulous Threads, Aqueous Transmission, and the 3 different versions of their song Redefine. (Original, acoustic, and the rendition by their side project Time Lapse Consortium - this one song shows their progression as musicians through out these versions.)
OH AND ECHO!
I love Incubus. A lot of their older fans didn't enjoy If Not Now, When? because of the genre changes, but I loved it. Brilliant album and they have a really great discography
Agreed. That album is really close to my heart because it got released right after my mother passed away almost 10 years ago. It really helped me to cope with the situation.
IIRC, on this album their guitarist was using Mesa Tremoverbs with PRS Semihollow IIs. Tremendous tone.
I could listen to you âdecomposeâ all day. This is such a different take on these reaction videos. Youâve got such a chill way about you. Thanks đ
I think I was a Junior or Senior in High School when this first came out. This song will never get old.
Most of incubus early work is their best, a hidden gem is "redefine". The bass solo is đđđ
Pardon me while I burst into fangirling mode! I was just in High School when their first album S.C.I.E.N.C.E. came out and me & my friends were immediately addicted! We ended up seeing them live at the Metro in Chicago, it was their first tour ever and you could tell.. Not music wise because they killed it but by how they acted. Their lead singer was absolutely blown away at the reception they got and kept telling the crowd how appreciative they all were. I was standing literally 5 feet away from them, I think they played with System of a Down that night, those were the daysss.. And back then, we were all convinced they would blow up because of their song Summer Romance and they eventually did! To be honest, after they reached commercial success, after their second album their music didn't feel the same to me anymore. Maybe it's just me, but I don't think it is, after SCIENCE they weren't the same band anymore! So I suggest and plead that you go back and listen to their first album and break it down because to me it's a masterpiece and they never came close to that album again as far as I'm concerned! But please listen to songs like Redefine, Vitamin, New Skin & Idiot Box! Hell, listen to the entire album loud and tell me I'm not right about everything I've said sofar! I remember driving around, blasting this album pretty much nonstop! I highly recommend it, to this day, this album is in my top 10 of all time! So please please please go and listen to SCIENCE next! đ
PS. NEBULA, Deep Inside & Calgone are the songs that demonstrate their variety & potential! Don't get me wrong, I'm so happy for their success, it feels like my own child making it big! I just dreamed even bigger for them I guess and feel like they never reached their true potential as a band for whatever reason. My joke was always that after that album, they got ABDUCTED by little green men and replaced by their vanilla doubles.. Its just been a lifetime mystery to me what happened to the band from that album. Not saying Make Yourself is bad, I dig it, it's just not S.C.I.E.N.C.E! I wish they did a remaster of it, for the 25th anniversary next year or something? That album deserves it! Anyway, sorry for rambling, just love them and needed to get it off my chest! /rant
Pardon Me is the rare song where I like the unplugged version on equal terms with the regular version (so many unplugged songs are interesting but lose something in the translation). Incubus produced some really beautiful rock songs (a genre not really known for "beauty") like "Wish You Were Here" and "Dig".
The ambient chords you hear are guitar swells with echo and delay effects.
And the band consists of five guys, singer/percussionist, guitarist/pianist, bassist/percussionist, drummer, Dj/pianist. These guys do it all damn near.
Saw these guys for the first time in 2002 in Duluth, MN. Absolutely brilliant show! I left with more sweat on me from other people than my own. I remember walking outside after the concert and we were all freezing in the cold October air. Man I miss college.
i love it how this comment section is recommending all these great songs that are so different from eachother. such a great brand. and nothing was mentioned of the songwriting. which may even be the best aspect.
These guys are sorely underrated. Been jamming together since they were 15. Yes, they hit it big with their poppier sounding stuff, but their musicianship is insane and so much fun to appreciate. Also, they were my last live show Nov 2019. They did a 20th anniversary tour celebrating Make yourself (album this song is on). They sounded exactly like they did 20+ years ago. Even better. Mike is the guitarist and has some of the craziest chord choices and solos. Brandonâs a bit of a narcissist, but super kind and it bodes well as his voice hasnât aged at all. Hope for more! Lots more incubus!
I'm a little late to the party, but I feel I need to share this. Incubus was involved in the "Halo 2" videogame soundtrack. They did around four instrumental compositions I think. It will blow your mind lol. Also the literal best live recording I have ever watched is "Incubus: Alive At Red Rocks 2004"
Be'lakor! The Smoke of Many Fires! Mahalo!
Please do more Incubus. They are one of the most unique bands of their Era where every album they evolve but still retain an authenticity of who they are throughout. The album Morning View is a top 5 desert island album. Right up there with Led Zeppelin IV, Allman Bros at Fillmore east, Dark Side of the Moon, and Metallica S&M
Damn, this is definitely part of my soundtrack of life. The singer is phenomenal and he sounds better live. There are videos of him joining street performers out of the blue and jamming and singing with them. Day N^(n+1) of asking for Angel Vivaldi - A Mercurian Summer.
Me: tries to listen to certain things likes he does
Also me: ends up just rocking out
Great band. Really unique sound and always thought they were underrated
My favorite live concert ever was Incubus with Deftones opening for them.. Also, it's one of the last memorable moments I shared with my sister before our relationship started tanking. It's sad to think about, yet such a happy moment to reflect on..
I'm gonna cry now...
Further down the river is my get back to zen song. I love this band
Jose Pasillas....best drummer in rock and roll
Seeing these guys play on the beach, less than 1mile from my doorstep, where I surf and fish daily was amazing!
Sick Sad Little World is one of my favorite songs ever. The guitar solo that Mike pulls off in that song will blow your mind.
Going to my 4th Incubus concert tomorrow night in my not so little town anymore....
Last year at Red Rocks was EPICâŁïž
Man you are running through the music of my teens! Incubus is so good, often lumped in the numetal scene, but so unique. Thanks for giving your $.02. Definitely check out SCIENCE for some great hip hop/metal/funk fusion.
