Can you react to K.A.A.N audio murder, he does something I don’t think I ever heard before from anyone else, he raps on a beat that smooth transition to a different one and he switches is flow and cadence to match it but keeps the same Rhythm, sounds like a cypher but it’s jus him
Brandon wrote the song after seeing an article about spontaneous human combustion featuring a photo of a man's legs with shoes still on but everything above the knee was charred ashes (that's where the lyric "A decade a go, I was having a look in a book and saw a picture of a guy fried up above his knee. I said 'I can relate'" came from). The image stuck with him because he was going through some shit in his own life. He had just returned from a tour and found out his girl who he was with for 7 years was cheating on him. On top of that he found out his grandmother and a close friend both died while he was on tour. He said he related to the man in the picture and it inspired him to write this. With that in mind, I always took the song to be sort of implying that at times spontaneous combustion might look more favorable than or a welcomed alternative to dealing with the hardships of the world when it feels like it's at it's worst.
I believe he is also talking about killing his old self. Becoming someone better than who he felt he was becoming. In stead of trying to douse the fire within he chose to combust and let the flame out, let if burn the old him and rose from the flames as a new person someone unlike himself but all for the better. Kind of like he's saying please give me some space while I face my demons and conquer them, I'll be back some day but I won't be the same as I was.
Yes to all of this for me. I didn't know about all of the personal loss but I always equated it to feeling over whelmed by life and the human condition. Like he felt defeated and didn't have it in him to keep on keeping on but, instead just let certain parts burn out instead. The part about rising above the flames was always a phenix from the flame reference to me.
Honda civic Tour, I was there but in the sunlight in a different city! Was in the pit and when LP came on I lost all my friends due to the mosh, it was that wild. RIP Chester.
The song is definitely about the phoenix theory of destroying who you are/were and becoming something else, losing your innocence, losing your ignorance and naivety.
A lot of bands from this time with a similar style didn't age well but Incubus continues to be amazing for how innovative and lyrically solid they always were. Great band!
@@MikeGraceJediDad Whenever I get the chance to sing first to a videoke, I always make sure to put "wish you were here" Dunno but incubus was and still is a bliss.
One of the most underrated bands ever. Brandon is master song writer the whole band is extremely talented my favorite song is Blood on the ground from the album Morning view
One of my absolute favourite bands. They have a mix of lots of genres: rock, nu metal, punk, pop, funk, hip-hop, jazz etc. I'd suggest: Drive, Megalomaniac and Wish You Were Here as good places to start
thank you so much for saying that mental health issues matter and to seek help. as someone who suffers from depression and anxiety on a severe level, i really appreciate you not just glossing over it like it doesn't matter. you really are the man, and i seriously can't thank you enough for doing that!
Your exploration of other genres is really awesome and reminds me of when I did the same a couple of decades ago when I went to college. I grew up on motown & musicals (my parents) and hip-hop/rap, but was exposed to rock so much more once I left the nest. Incubus is awesome and I suggest, "Drive", "Dig", "Stellar", and "I Wish You Were Here" along with the suggestions others have made.
i always took the "pardon me while i burst into flames" as him being so fed up with everything that at any point he could just combust into flames and explode and would honestly welcome it when everything feels like pressure cooker. very relatable especially in times like these.
I'm glad he does im here for the music I liked growing up its kinda nostalgic and I like that. new songs dont hit the same reaction wise for me at least.
Love that you did a reaction to this it's fantastic and for most fans are introduction to Incubus as a band Going on to something that I think that you would enjoy specifically check out the acoustic live version of "A certain shade of Green" Taking a track that was the first he ever wrote when he was a child and updating it into this lounge funk aesthetic it's a jam
They went from having a dj and certain shade of green to floating down a river to a pop band not sure id put them in the sound the same group like rhcp, or foo fighters
Incubus is one of my favorite childhood bands. I still go to see them live!! So fun watching to you react honestly to this I had the same reaction when I heard this song. It still gives me chills 20 years later!!
I always took "Burst into flames" in this song as meaning hitting your snapping point and losing your temper and going off on someone. He also says "Exploding seems like an imminent possibility" which kind of reinforces my interpretation.
He said he will rise above the flames. I feel this song is about someone fed up with the traps of negative people and negative life choices and is going to blow that part of himself up and come back a new more mature better off person .
So happy to see an Incubus review! I follow a few reaction channels and it always seems rare to find their music on them. Even happier to see it well received! Incubus is probably my favorite band and has such an eclectic sound.
wow 2.55 million subs. congrats. your consistency in these vids paid off. keep up the good work. its also cool to see you branching out and reacting to different genres
I love this band, this song, but I really appreciate your love to everyone at the end of your reactions, I think this one just hit me differently with what's happening in my life, but I've been a fan of yours for a while and always enjoy your positivity. Thank You.
Good group. Should also check out the songs Warning / Drive / Are you in? / Stellar (Think you would enjoy those and more from their albums...the "make yourself" album was a favorite of mine.) Have you reviewed and SOAD (System of a down)? I think you would like a lot of their tracks as well!
I’ve been waiting a good minute for some Incubus. I’m definitely glad you liked it. I have been pondering joining the Patreon, but this video just got you another patron. Keep up the great content!!!!!
How they came at you after the bridge, you looked almost offended, even though you probably *almost* expected it. I *FELT* that expression as you looked at the camera lol!
Can I just say that you are the ONLY music reaction channel I like because you actually give your input on what you like, what you don't and actually make it seem like you know what you're talking about, not just some mumbo jumbo to fool us for views.
I love this track, because there is a theme of the Phoenix written into the lyrics. Let us break ourselves down and rise again stronger, and so we will never be the same. Cheers, great reaction!
I saw Incubus live at the Hollywood Bowl which is outdoors for those who don't know; and to this day I can still remember when they came out to play Aqueous Transmission with the lights turned down to only have the jumbotron and a spotlight on Brandon (the singer). With the lights turned all the way to minimal the stars and the moon is all lit up in the sky to a song with a pipa (kind of like a lute from China), and it was the most surreal music experience I ever had. Other than that, they just put on an incredible show with great energy.
In 2002 I heard this song for the first time. The first 10 secs I was hooked and asked my friend who had playing in thr CD player as we drove around. After that, my favorite band. Seeing them for the 8th time in Sept.
Check out Incubus’ cover of Still Not A Player feat Big Pun. It was from a compilation of rap/rock covers called LOUD ROCKS that’s worth checking out in a video itself.
I read into the lines "pardon me as i burn and rise above the flames" and "pardon me, ill never be the same" as a burning off of ones old self and rising out of the fire like the phoenix as a new person, a new life.
When you jumped out of your skin after the break 😂 made me chuckle! So glad you dig these, I’ve loved them for 20+ years and it’s amazing how each album evolves! Speaking of, check out Dig from their album Light Grenades 😊

I'm a big Incubus fan, this song is one of my favourites, and I didn't know this - so thank you!
I believe he is also talking about killing his old self. Becoming someone better than who he felt he was becoming.

Wow! One of my favorite songs and never knew this. Thanks for sharing that.
Damn, didn't know that, what a sloot
Saw Incubus live with Linkin Park in the pouring rain. Best concert I have ever been to.
was this at Jones Beach? I think i was at the same concert
Honda civic Tour, I was there but in the sunlight in a different city! Was in the pit and when LP came on I lost all my friends due to the mosh, it was that wild. RIP Chester.
Wish I was there
I saw that tour! So happy my daughter and I saw LP twice live! I have seen Incubus 12 times
We all know you're lying. Cut the shit
The song is definitely about the phoenix theory of destroying who you are/were and becoming something else, losing your innocence, losing your ignorance and naivety.
A lot of bands from this time with a similar style didn't age well but Incubus continues to be amazing for how innovative and lyrically solid they always were. Great band!
Incubus and 311…still kickin’ it in 2022!
sept 1st i get to go see them and sublime, cant wait!
Incubus was a life saver when I was at the brink of an existential crisis.
Same here
Just a Phase and If Not Now. I still listen to when I feel down
@@MikeGraceJediDad Whenever I get the chance to sing first to a videoke, I always make sure to put "wish you were here" Dunno but incubus was and still is a bliss.
@@nayannbg6314 I literally listen to this when I'm about to burst with life's greatest shits.
@@rkrosine2682 Aqueous Transmission in the morning or what is your prescription for it?
More Incubus!!! "Drive" and "Dig Me" are classics I love "Black Heat Intertia" and "Are You In" as well
Oil and Water would be great too
Check out summertime romance (anti-gravity) by incubus!
Their whole first album is definitely something different than what we’re used to hearing from them
Dont forget "Warning" and "Wish You Were Here"
megalomaniac, warning, or wish you were here would be great choices too
God, I haven't heard this song in years. It's STILL as good as I remember
I love Incubus so much, glad you're always expanding what you listen to
One of the most underrated bands ever. Brandon is master song writer the whole band is extremely talented my favorite song is Blood on the ground from the album Morning view
Underrated? Umm, not back in the day they wasnt. They were in top of the world.
Beat me too it. Hardly underrated.
MORNING VIEW is an album I still listen to all the way through on the regular. It’s amazing
How are they underrated?
I don’t think underrated means what you think it means.
Incubus really meant a lot to me as a kid growing up. Their music got me through a lot of tough times. Nice reaction!
Going to watch these guys in a couple of weeks, along with Sublime with Rome. Glad you reacted and found these guys. They're a great band.
Damn!! Im jealous!!
Me too! August 22nd Salt Lake City.
They have so many good albums! My favorite is science.
where did u watch them at i just got back from watching them and it was lit
August 19th is when the show is. Here in The Woodlands, TX
One of my absolute favourite bands.
They have a mix of lots of genres: rock, nu metal, punk, pop, funk, hip-hop, jazz etc.
I'd suggest:
Drive, Megalomaniac and Wish You Were Here as good places to start
Aqueous Transmission is a Vibe.
thank you so much for saying that mental health issues matter and to seek help. as someone who suffers from depression and anxiety on a severe level, i really appreciate you not just glossing over it like it doesn't matter. you really are the man, and i seriously can't thank you enough for doing that!
Me too. You’re not alone.
Also check out “Warning”. Another great song from them.
I LOVE INCUBUS!!!!! The entire make yourself album was incredible
I think the key lyric is "burn and rise above the flame" to me meaning he's going to overcome worrying about the rat race or the drama of life.
Lol that face he made when the music came back hard af at the end!!!
Let’s see how you treat this golden legend of a song.
Right on time…on going to see incubus in concert in 2 weeks…
Your exploration of other genres is really awesome and reminds me of when I did the same a couple of decades ago when I went to college. I grew up on motown & musicals (my parents) and hip-hop/rap, but was exposed to rock so much more once I left the nest.
Incubus is awesome and I suggest, "Drive", "Dig", "Stellar", and "I Wish You Were Here" along with the suggestions others have made.

I love that laydbak is always open to reacting to all music even tho his fan base is mostly rap
I'm glad he does im here for the music I liked growing up its kinda nostalgic and I like that. new songs dont hit the same reaction wise for me at least.
This is my fav band ever. I've been listening to them since i was 13 im 31. And Pardon me is my fav song by them.
.
One way to look at this is comparing it to a phoenix. Bursting in to flames, dying, being reborn and rising again, a reset in life.
FINALLY your reacting to my favorite rock band!!!!!!!!!!!! im soooo happy!!
Really love your videos man. They're so sick, especially the rock reactions 🤘
Hell yeah, it's especially sick how he titles every one his first reaction to rock music
I do 420 vlogs on my UA-cam channel 🔥 I’m just trying to get out the hood
Love that you did a reaction to this it's fantastic and for most fans are introduction to Incubus as a band
Going on to something that I think that you would enjoy specifically check out the acoustic live version of "A certain shade of Green"
Taking a track that was the first he ever wrote when he was a child and updating it into this lounge funk aesthetic it's a jam
The whole SCIENCE album is great. I love Incubus and saw them live twice, but I kinda lost interest after "light grenades"
Probably my favorite Incubus song for sure, it's a volume all the way up kinda song.
💯
The musical range of Incubus is amazing. Been listening to them for over 20 years.
The dudes are very good, very lyrical for a rock band. Most of their songs do sound similar, but a very solid rock band.
Their songs nowadays sound exponentially different than their first few albums. So I respectfully disagree :)
@@eberhardtstephen I was more speaking specifically to this era and album in particular.
They went from having a dj and certain shade of green to floating down a river to a pop band not sure id put them in the sound the same group like rhcp, or foo fighters
The lyrics might be good but there is something that i dont like about theyre songs, i cant figure out what though
Their songs do not sound similar if you go listen to their early Funk Rock/Metal and compare that to 2000s onward.
Incubus is probably one of the best to ever do it. One of the few bands I listened to as a teenager that still holds up.
So happy incubus made it here, it's literally my favorite band
He iterates "... while i burst into flames..."
He further speaks of rising above those flames (Phoenix).
He wants to reinvent himself...
Damn, I forgot how great incubus is
Same I haven't listened to them in forever
Going to be seeing them live next month. So excited!!
This was my ringtone for all of highschool. They're amazing live.
I love incubus man! I can't wait to see them in August!
Don't think anyone can replicate Incubus. Incredible in every aspect.
Finally a reaction video mentions Jose's drums! One of my all time favorite drummers.
Incubus is the definition of a vibe. Love love love them.
Dope reaction. Incubus- The Warmth is 🔥🔥🔥
As a teenager (29 now) Incubus was my favourite band. Like fusion alt-rock. So much versatility and great musicianship.
One of my favorite songs. Aqueous transmission , and radio talk are great too
I read that the lyrics come from the personification of a pheonix bird and it’s symbolic death into rebirth-> hence the fire, burning and combustion!
Incubus is one of my favorite childhood bands. I still go to see them live!! So fun watching to you react honestly to this I had the same reaction when I heard this song. It still gives me chills 20 years later!!
Incubus always makes.my playlists
One of my all time favorite songs. So glad you reacted to it.
I always took "Burst into flames" in this song as meaning hitting your snapping point and losing your temper and going off on someone. He also says "Exploding seems like an imminent possibility" which kind of reinforces my interpretation.

Shout out to the Patreon! Great REACT and LOVE this song!

Also, your closing message was phenomenal and supremely heartfelt. Now I'm subscribing
I just saw them live and they were amazing. I grew up loving Incubus.
Check out Incubus's song, Aqueous Transmission. It's a whole vibe
One of my all time favorite bands, so glad I got to rediscover this song through you!
Man love this band they rock bro u got to do more reaction of this band
Good group. Should also check out the songs Warning / Drive / Are you in? / Stellar
(Think you would enjoy those and more from their albums...the "make yourself" album was a favorite of mine.)
Have you reviewed and SOAD (System of a down)? I think you would like a lot of their tracks as well!
Are you in? In a fabulous time dude! I agree ^^^
Drive is a must for incubus. I really like nowhere fast
I’ve been waiting a good minute for some Incubus. I’m definitely glad you liked it. I have been pondering joining the Patreon, but this video just got you another patron. Keep up the great content!!!!!
When it comes to reaction vids incubus gets very little love!!! Their music is amazing!!
Their DJ's name is Chris Kilmore and he does some crazy shit. You should check out some of his sets
literally just got back from the sublime and incubus concert in pine knob, they dope asf
How they came at you after the bridge, you looked almost offended, even though you probably *almost* expected it. I *FELT* that expression as you looked at the camera lol!
Can I just say that you are the ONLY music reaction channel I like because you actually give your input on what you like, what you don't and actually make it seem like you know what you're talking about, not just some mumbo jumbo to fool us for views.
Damn, this one brings me back my high school years. Great Vegas summers hanging in friends’ back yards.
I love this track, because there is a theme of the Phoenix written into the lyrics. Let us break ourselves down and rise again stronger, and so we will never be the same. Cheers, great reaction!

I came here for incubus and stayed for the shock LayedBak gets when the guitar drops 😂😂 Love incubus
One of one my favorite bands ever!
Incubus is so good live. One of my all time favs.
Literally every day when I wake up this song is playing in my head since this song came out.
Lol! Your reaction was so cool!! Incubus is a great band! They definitely mix it up! Going to see them live at the end of August! ✌🏻
Check out Incubus’ cover of Still Not A Player feat Big Pun. It was from a compilation of rap/rock covers called LOUD ROCKS that’s worth checking out in a video itself.
Bro, your journey has inspired to take my own, you really had a transformation. Love from PA
I don't think any of them were having suicidal thoughts, I think they were just inspired, and that was the subject.
My Favorite Incubus song! One of the first songs I learned on guitar!!🤘🏼🤘🏼🤘🏼
Love this song. Appreciate the positivity.
This Incubus album is one of my favorites. Listened to it a ton in high school
I love these videos. I’m glad to see the evolution of this channel too! You’re killing it man
I've seen these guys live 3 times and they kill every time!
Anna Molly by incubus. My favourite song from them
Great reaction! Great song. The song Drive by them is my fave 🙂 Great band for sure.
Was my favorite band for a very long time. Glad you got put on
This song took me way back ❤️
I read into the lines "pardon me as i burn and rise above the flames" and "pardon me, ill never be the same" as a burning off of ones old self and rising out of the fire like the phoenix as a new person, a new life.
one of the best bands ever
This was pure Epicness. I luv how much u enjoyed it.
Incubus is 20+ years already. Feels like they started in 2015, not 99’/2000.
1991 was their start
When you jumped out of your skin after the break 😂 made me chuckle! So glad you dig these, I’ve loved them for 20+ years and it’s amazing how each album evolves! Speaking of, check out Dig from their album Light Grenades 😊
My favorite bad since middle school! I graduated in 2006 just for reference to my age 🥴
They are the best!
I was 23 when this song came out and it was always playing in my CD player. 😆
The acoustic version is a whole different level of this song.
Dude, big fan! Love the videos. Fellow Georgian.
I come for the music and I stay for the positivity.
Warning is my favorite by Incubus! Another great reaction ❤
It’s always fun to see someone listen to this band for the first time
