Returning on-stage for the encore, Incubus delivered a stunning version of The Warmth, with simultaneously warm and fraught vocals, electronic trills and searing guitar. Newer songs like Anna Molly were also given a good airing, with Boyd hurtling round the stage and, at other times, banging at the drum kit with his bare hands. Highlights included the abrasive and sublime Nice to Know You, with it's tribal rhythms and didgeridoo sounds Drive, with its runaway vocals and spine tingling drum crashes and the vitriolic Megalomania. Opening the set with a thoughtful feel, with haunting chanting, moody keyboards and frontman Brandon Boyd dressed understatedly in a Jeff Buckley-style shirt, vest and hat combo, the band quickly erupted into a song on the opposite end of the spectrum - fast, metal and heavy-as-hell.Īnd the crowd responded accordingly with scores of people stood dancing and screaming in the stands and grown men excitedly hammering their air guitars. Like the Chili's, a feisty and carved front-man has led Incubus through an early but defining period of heavy, hippy funk-metal before settling comfortably into playing huge stadium shows and releasing albums packed with powerful ballads.Īnd whilst Incubus are hugely commercially successful, they appear to have retained the laid-back hippy outlook which has set them apart from so many other '90s metal bands. The band has certainly evolved in their 16 years, arguably taking a similar career path to fellow funk-rockers, the Red Hot Chili Peppers. Humble, a band of few words onstage, yet, a touch pretentious and long-winded in interviews.Īnd of course the sound - where to put it? - soulful, funky, laid-back, frenzied, tribal, complex, electronic at times, even industrial. Named after an evil devil yet worthy eco-warriors. At least we dig each other (Ah ah, ah ah) So when weakness turns my ego up. something that weighs upon or oppresses one like a nightmare.

one fabled to have sexual intercourse with women during their sleep. Everything after science is crap.CALIFORNIA rockers Incubus are a band of contradictions. Pre-Chorus 1 We all have something that digs at us. an imaginary demon or evil spirit supposed to descend upon sleeping persons, esp. This band was so much better when they were trying to be a funky/ heavier version of Mr.

When Incubus formed they did not know the name means 'A demon that rapes a sleeping woman. The name does not fit their personality, as they are known as nice guys. This supernatural demon typically takes the form of a seductive.

If a sex demon tortures a man, then it’s a Succubus. This creature typically takes the form of an attractive male. If the victim is a woman, then the demon who attacked her is an Incubus. I still remember how heartbroken I was when I heard this album. Theyre named after an evil spirit who has sex with women while they sleep. The only difference between an Incubus and a Succubus is how they choose their victims. Besides that, the song has amazing vocals with a beautiful chorus and incredible lyrics. Every time I hear it I think of that movie, and it's a good feeling. The lead singer uses a wide range that fits really well with the melody. The bass lines, lead and rhythm guitar play so well in combination with the drums. With some good earbuds or headphones, it is just a very well written song. The Song is from my favorite childhood movie, surf's up. Also I get nostalgia because of lego rock band. Since it reminds of living a proactive rather than reactive life. When I read this passage in the book I this song came into my mind. Living a proactive lifestyle is one of the habits described in this book. I am reading '7 habits of successful people' at the moment. And the whole band isn't bigheaded which is good cause if they let the fame get to them they wouldn't of made such an impact on their fans and wouldn't still be in the business. I love Incubus! And this song is amazing it moves me ( the lyrics) brandon boyd is so inspiring his songs and artwork.
