You know it’s you, but you can’t believe that everybody let you get rid of that haircut. feel like the work of entirely different people to you?īoyd: It’s like looking back through an old photo album or when you see yourself on an old videotape as a child. It makes me feel very happy.ĭoes S.C.I.E.N.C.E. It’s a very strange dichotomy, but it gives me a massive sense of appreciation for what we’ve been through, what we’ve accomplished, what we’ve done. From a certain perspective it feels like it has been lifetimes, and then from other vantage points it’s like no time has passed. None of them had the same magic.Einziger: It feels like a thousand years, to be honest. But I never really associated those bands with Incubus, as much as I like each of those bands. When I used Pandora and Last.fm a lot, I'd always get recommended Linkin Park (RIP Chester), Foo Fighters, Hoobastank, Sevendust, and many other bands. I don't know what it is, but Omar and Mike are two of my guitar idols and I get a similar feeling from the two of them. And, being a guitar nerd myself, it's hard NOT to worship at the altars of Mike Einziger and Omar Rodriguez-Lopez. As far as the Dear Hunter goes, I think their ability to adapt to pretty any style of rock music and versatility is what drew me to them. Incubus and Deftones are associated acts, and it was a dream come true when Ben Kenney collaborated with Thomas Erak. I also listened to the Dear Hunter a fair bit as well.
So, I ended up listening to a TON of Deftones, Fall of Troy and Mars Volta during those years.
I didn't bother with any other band if they didn't measure up. That being said, when I was between the ages of 15-18, Incubus was my gold standard for music. I got into them at the beginning of high school, and, being like 14 or 15 at the time and them having such an impact on me, I looked for bands like them, or at least bands that were somewhat similar to them. Incubus has been my favorite band for a decade.
