    HOLY FUCK! I am insanely excited about this. PJ and Incubus are my top 2 all time favorite bands and I've been disappointed and worried about the hiatus that Incubus has been taking with all their side projects. Mike is an INCREDIBLE guitarist and seriously underrated, this shit just made my day!

    I was at this tour. Not this show I can't find a good video.

    He gets pissed and smashes his guitar. This could be the reason they have parted ways? ;)

    it's at about 1:44 into the video. Wow.


    (I've followed the band for a very long time, my ex husband (in a shitty local band.. :lol: I can say his band is crap and not feel guilty about it :D ) used to open for them and the deftones in the late 90's, There is definitely something different about their vibe lately. Brandon took a hiatus and painted surfboards for a few years)

    Ok let's gets some things straight here. Mike hasn't and has never left Incubus. They are on hiatus and are all doing side projects.

    Mike was very much present on Incubus' last album and still has not left the band at all. They're on a hiatus just to take a break from a lot of touring and such... Each member tweets and makes statements about it a lot. They're just venturing into side projects like pj has been.

    FUCKING MOTHERFUCKING AWESOME!

    Incubus easily one of my other fav bands and guitar player/multi instrumentalist/Harvard trained musician Mike Einziger, whether you like Incubus or not, is a genius...

    He just tweeted a pic with Eddie and said he's recording strings on a track for the new album!!! 8-)

    i wouldn't mind if Eingziger hung around a little longer and did some writing with Mike and Stone. Get a different feel in this next album!

    That was around the time (I am assuming) that Mike was having serious Carpal Tunnel pain. He had to have surgery for it. I have seen him do this before.

    Incubus is my second favorite band, listen to them almost as much as PJ ;) , but he is EXTREMELY underrated. Writes some amazing riffs and guitar parts that really define a lot of Incubus songs (not to mention Brandon Boyd is an amazing songwriter as well). If you're not really a huge fan and only know the mianstream songs, give "Sick Sad Little World" a listen, off of the album A Crow Left of the Murder. Great riff, or maybe "Just a Phase" off of Morning View one of my personal favorite albums of all time by any band. This collaboration is going to be totally sweet, cannot wait to see what he has to offer. The Sky I Scrape info on some of the demos listed two "trippy" songs, I'm sure Mike has something to do with that. They just have a trippy sound in general, gives them a great vibe. Awesome live too, album can't come soon enough!!! :corn:
