@@duartelucas5746and today, past their heyday, to most people they're kind of a jokey "bro bro" music chapter. I find that not a whole lot of people mention them anymore when talking about their favorite bands, etc. It's just like, "oh dope that Drive song is in Beef."
@@cpellett0821 But that’s because they had a couple of songs that crossed over to the mainstream. Which I think it’s great, otherwise a lot of people wouldn’t have heard about them. The people that listened to their albums and followed them will see them in a way, those “bros” you mention will see them in a different way, which is totally fine.
Not many bands that can keep their own shit together for 27 years, let alone be stand-up, real men who care about their fans & the environment. Incubus is life.
LIKE EDDIE VEDDER AND THE BOY'S OF PEARL JAM....AND A.C.D.C. FOR AS BIG AS THEY ARE NEVER NOT STOP AND SIGN AUTOGRAPHS FOR FANS...WHO THE FUCK IS THIS INTERVIEWER
"More subtle than something someone contrives, your movements echo that I have seen the real thing. " Probably to this day one of the best lines I've ever heard in the song, I do not know why it just resonates with me
I grew up to Incubus. Their music brings back really fond memories during high school. I would love to talk to them and just chill, they seem so laid back and down to earth.
I've been a huge fan of the guys for almost 20 years and this Is by far my favorite "interview" they've ever done. Mainly because Stryker asked questions that I've always hoped they would be asked and never were, like was It on bad terms when Dirk left the band etc.. Also the band is usually very playful or vague when answering questions that they get repeatedly so they seemed to be happy about the refreshing/unpredictable questions.
Good interviewer. Interesting questions for a change, and the host knows when to let the guests talk. You really get to know the band in this interview.
Started getting into Incubus in middle school, 1999. Greatest time to be thirteen and exploring more rock bands. I listened to pop music as well, but Incubus is happy music to my ears. I was lucky to see them perform live on two separate occasions: 2009 and 2011 at Northerly Island in Chicago. The band's music kinda makes you think more about life in general, maybe even the energy you feel when you listen to the music a lot deeper. 😎
A really great interview. Mike's memory is astounding and sure stirs up some really old memories and feelings for me. Looking back now, it's funny to think how hearing one record on MTV has really changed the direction of probably quite a few lives, not just my own....
Saw Brandon at Ralph's Market in Malibu, Ca, 2001. I was living in my Toyota 4Runner. He was with some woman that was walking ahead of him like she was pissed. He looked over at me and caught be staring at the celeb. I was a big Incbus fan then, so it was super cool and random. Man time flies.
I think when Ben sings some songs with Brandon, he balances out really nicely....Brandon's voice is outstanding alone, he's a great lead singer of the band..But that little touch now and then to a song, Ben brings to it is great too...I really like this band, there is something about all the guys..They really seem like nice guys who get along great together..I like that about them, and with that they make great music together.
Longtime fan of Incubus. I grew up in OC, California. I would roll into bionic records in Fulllerton Ca. weekly. I remember going there in one afternoon in 1997. The drummer from a local band Longfellow was working the counter, I was going through the used CD's. The song "A Certain Shade of green" came on. I looked over at him and I said is the rest of this album as good as this song? He said yes it is. I said I need this Disk right now. I saw them a couple of months later at the Showcase theater in Corona, Ca. and the at the Barn in Riverside. I somehow managed to snag The record release tickets to make yourself record release party which happened at the Roxy in LA. First time i met Chris Kilmore. Nicest guy. I said whats the setlist for tonight? He said what do you want it to be? i said "Redesign" and then all the new stuff and then it happened....
Started listening to them in '98 when I heard Favorite Things, and I've been addicted since. As my music tastes evolved I listened to them less at times, but I've never not loved all that they put out. What a journey.
See, here's the thing bout their greatness..They evolve! Songwise & Appearance. Dudes progress & it suits them very well. Unlike other bands in the same era that have same sound of music upto now.. these guys always give us something different yet we us listeners knows it has this "INCUBUS TOUCH" that it'll surely be a bop
"oh yeah we used to play all those old school metallica songs, and really looked up to Korn, and system of a down and 311" Gah, no wonder they are amazing.
This interview was awesome because the interviewer was clearly a fan of the band. But regardless, INCUBUS will come down as one of our generations greatest bands EVER!
They stand firm and never falters. That's how passionate they were they're brothers with each others. They sort of have those hip hop artists mindsets like fame, wealth, pots etc.. but they remain private and discreet with their private lives.
There was a rock station here in Connecticut, WCCC 106.9, that played New Skin heavily in 1997. I can remember driving home from work at night and the station would play the song at about the same time every night. They played it at other times as well. Based on that one song, I went out and bought SCIENCE. Yeah, the example is just one radio station in one state but I have to believe there were other stations that discovered Incubus at the same time and started to play their music.
They completely skipped over Gavin Koppel aka DJ Lyfe's period with the band. lol. They must really hate that guy. EDIT: Oh, yeah. I completely forgot Kilmore had a restraining order against Lyfe when Lyfe threatened to kill him.
I wish they would talk more about the Korn/Snot/ Hed PE/SOAD era. When all these bands (except for Korn) were underground and represent a new wave of metal or hardcore with crossover groove sounds.
Mom totally had a copy of TJS tucked away on the shelf in the master bedroom. An original hard cover copy. GenX, we grew up O.G.! The 70's, 80's, 90's and the top of this millennia rules forevermore.
ben kennedy is fucking awesome. its a bummer to see all these comments about dirk vs ben. dirk was the best fit during the dirk era, and ben has been the best fit since. i bought science in high school and absolutely loved it, but honestly, the most rip roaring kickass incubus cd is crow left of the murder. sick sad little world is utterly insane, one of the best songs I've ever heard in my life. its from after dirk. cheers to ben kennedy for being a badass. he introduced a more "focused yet jammy" thing to their sound.

Incubus never gets the recognition that they deserve. They were ahead of their time and their sound is so unique...
No? They wrote a bunch of records, toured the world to sold out audiences and sold millions of records lol
They'll be a modern day led Zeppelin.

You know, on a funny note, taken out of context an "incubus" is a demon phantom that comes and rapes you at night. So yes "incubus is life"
Truest That

Dirk really couldn't keep his shit together it seems

Incubus has something special. It never tires me out. I just got addicted to “Echo” an underestimated jewel of this beautiful and unique band.
LOVE that song
"More subtle than something someone contrives, your movements echo that I have seen the real thing. " Probably to this day one of the best lines I've ever heard in the song, I do not know why it just resonates with me
Best Incubus interview Ive ever heard.
Jose has been one of my most influential drummers throughout my 20 years of drumming. Love you bro.
This is probably the best interview with the band I've seen, and I've seen, read and heard a lot.
Same... I've literally watched everything they've done.. No very seriously, E-V-E-R-Y-T-H-I-N-G. Great Interview!
Same my dude! And I’ve read, seen and heard just about everything! I’m almost pleasantly obsessed with this band if that’s even a thing lol
Do they ever talk about drug use?? I’ve watched and read a bit and have always been curious how much they’ve used psychedelics.
@@brianredman6153 Brandon does. It's in a solo Interview
This sounds like an echo chamber for lonely people who have nothing better to do than repeat what another poser said.
I grew up to Incubus. Their music brings back really fond memories during high school. I would love to talk to them and just chill, they seem so laid back and down to earth.
Great interview! You can feel and see the love between the band, that is why I love them so much. Please never stop making music!
totally agree with this!
*Best Interview of the band certainly* 🌊🌊🌊🌅 🎤

27 years..damn, been a fan for about 14-15 years and they still amaze me with their creativity. I just..love them!
Zee Pulido sane here 14_15 years for me as well middle school would describe that better lol
A really great interview. Mike's memory is astounding and sure stirs up some really old memories and feelings for me. Looking back now, it's funny to think how hearing one record on MTV has really changed the direction of probably quite a few lives, not just my own....
Mike Einziger should be recognized as a top 25 guitarist of all time.
Def, very underrated. The man knows how to write songs, when and when not to use FX. Great tone too

I have listened to incubus daily for 17 years and I have the bands name tattooed on my arm this band helped me get through a lot
Incubus has been a band for 27 years, I've been a DJ for 24 years... time sure does fly!
itimmy101 sure does my friend
They strike me like a very lay down people, so much sucess and so humble.
Absolute excellent host/interviewer. 10/10
That was a fantastic interview. And the band was so honest and willing to open up. Great job.
The musicianship & creativity of this band is just amazing. Been a fan since I heard 'make yourself'.Thanks for the good music boys.
Favorite band ever!
totally agree
luvintheacoustic best band ever
You guys still rock. Thanks for being humble still. Never done.
I was jamming "Make Yourself" album on my 120 second Skip proof CD player back then 24/7
Damn i forgot bout them skip proof boys!! Had one too 😂🔥👍💯
Probably the best interview I’ve seen the whole band speak
Thanks Striker
Great Band..
They are "Infinity interesting" they ll never get old, i feel the love. so much love😁✌💜)))

This is the only interview that I have watched multiples times. Lot of respect for this band and all they have made!

Redefine….close tho 🫶🏼
They're like Maroon 5. One good album then sells out.
One of my favorite bands
I love this interview. It just kept on rolling and it was positive, just chill. Everyone was involved.
Oh word! Just noticed Kilmore sitting on his dread...so long! 🐙🤘✌️
Started listening to them in '98 when I heard Favorite Things, and I've been addicted since. As my music tastes evolved I listened to them less at times, but I've never not loved all that they put out.
What a journey.
Brandon said "Puya"... That band is from Puerto Rico... It means a lot he remembered the name all this years!!!
I love Puya! I have two of their albums. Salsa and Metal?? That's rad!!
Puya played with them and system ... At .myrtle beach ,,that show was so FUN
jajaaj pense lo mismo cuando lo escuche y baje a los comentarios a ver si alguien mas lo habia notado!!!!

I wasn't expecting such a good interview. Well done! And im 2 years too late
I love that they're still making diarrhea jokes at their age. Lmao
Been a fan for 15 years and counting!! Kudos INCUBUS for being so great! Best Band Ever!
Love Incubus, if you love them, I love you!
Thank you for coming to malaysia! Please come again soooooon!!! 🇲🇾
This was great! Best Incubus interview ever!!!
how they treat each other is super impressive, real band of brothers. My fav BOAT, keep making more music.😀
GBOAT ! Thanks for the acronym man. Kinda like U-BOAT (WWI-WWII submarine)
James thanks, ryt called unterseeboot
A great interview with KROCK radio. Nice to hear Stryker and his questions, comments. Great tour schedule 2018. April 10,2018.
They are so cute and so humble! I’ve been a fan since 2002. I can’t wait to see them in February here in NOLA❤
My biggest inspiration in music… Still adore these guys till this day… Hope they go another 27 more years… Cheers fellas💫🤘
Mike has a really good memory.
Waxinasss Yeh, he’s like the Band’s historian
dude went to harvard
This interview was awesome because the interviewer was clearly a fan of the band. But regardless, INCUBUS will come down as one of our generations greatest bands EVER!
Best interview
THIS IS GOLDEN! THANK YOU!!!
Golden is a instrumental track from Look Alive 2007 CD from incubus lol
What a wholesome interview!
I love them
I chose Linkin Park over Incubus back in 2001. But the song " Drive' changed it and I fell in love with Incubus too.
Seeing both bands together was amazing.
One of my favorite rock bands of all time!
Thank you KROQ this is so awesome interview I have ever see.
Mike, you're probably the rock of this band, I see it, but Brandon is the star
People still show up because of a couple things, but by far thhe biggest one, BEST LIVE BAND OF ALL TIME!
Thanks for sharing ! :)
Ahhh lots of love for Incubus❤❤❤❤
Who else really really wants to hear those 50 'lost left sock' songs?
These dudes are so fucking awesome
Ryne Winkler yes sir u are correct
They stand firm and never falters. That's how passionate they were they're brothers with each others. They sort of have those hip hop artists mindsets like fame, wealth, pots etc.. but they remain private and discreet with their private lives.
25:44 phew. I was starting to feel bad for Chris being left out of all the reminiscing 😂
This is so awesome! They turned me into fan when I first heard Make Yourself back in 97 or 98?
Love these guys! Hard to make good music for this long!
africandialects Make Yourself release was in 99'.
Make Yourself was released on October 26, 1999.
Gosh I see so much of Anthony Kedis in Brandon ❤
Fantastic band, fantastic interview.
40:30 mike talks about encountering Zack de la Rocha at the beach.
Evan8D As you would , just casually walking by , yep that’s Zach de la Rocha
Bravo Stryker! Awesome interview.
The lead Singer was always fine 😍😍😍😍😍😍

the first album S.C.I.E.C.E is pure magic...
Fantastic band and im 62
I am a fan since 1999!
Love Inc one of the greatest band period.
Great interview!
brandon, my crush
South Africa in 3 weeks!! Incubus, I hope you love it as much as we love you!
Wow Im Old I been A Fan 25years now amazing
They completely skipped over Gavin Koppel aka DJ Lyfe's period with the band. lol. They must really hate that guy.
EDIT: Oh, yeah. I completely forgot Kilmore had a restraining order against Lyfe when Lyfe threatened to kill him.
Well it happens. Must sucks for Lyfe.
You don't say that here
tingkagol I was thinking the same...and man I loved him and that period of their music
It wasn't the time or place to bring it up. Stryker knows where to draw the line, which is why he didn't bring it up.
I've got Gavin on facebook and he's still living the science dream..
Make yourself will be the greatest album ever always. Absolutely perfect
That dude PARTIED with them!!
AWESOME INTERVIEW!!! ❤♥💙
“Brandon we’re getting a new singer” 😂😂
Top Band
the best of ALL time
New Jersey, PA...yay! Cool! my neighbors!
He got his shoes on that man's couch..
I'm sorry but who gave Brandon permission to be this beautiful and talented?
So excited for Feb.2💕😄!!!
what was feb 2???
Jacob dwiggins Feb 2 they came to vegas💕💕💕 and they come back to Vegas again March30/31 😊
i kind of thought for some reason that brandon was like one of those mean celebrities but he seem like all the other guys really down to earth.
Freaking love these guys❤️💐❤️
why is it the left sock being lost and not the right
lets get a movie of their story in 15 years lol
I wish they would talk more about the Korn/Snot/ Hed PE/SOAD era.
When all these bands (except for Korn) were underground and represent a new wave of metal or hardcore with crossover groove sounds.
Science is fucking awsome on shrooms
