something that often goes unappreciated is that DJ Kilmore's samples are often created by the band in the studio, recorded, pressed to vinyl, then sampled back into their songs.
That sounds fucking cool
Yeah that’s brilliant
Bruh what a DOPE fact
IMO, Incubus is the most overlooked and underrated band of the last 25 years. They are the complete package.
@Boston is my race track That doesn't mean they can't be underrated.
brandon is the most underrated rock singer easily. he's just as good live as he is in studio, which I don't think ive ever heard from another singer ever. never misses a single note
They really went downhill after morning view
@@cv5369 dig and anna molly only decent tracks they did after, not even close to MV, miles away from MY and galaxies away from science lol
@@JOSEPH-vs2gc science than make yourself than morning view-fungus amongus
Oh cool i'm not the only person in 2018 that still listens to Incubus
Still listening as well 😎
Still listening and still loving it!
Saw them live a few months back IN INDIA with around 10K other people.
I love incubus but I really don't like the new album
Aaron Nichols keep listening a few songs will grow on you. but they deff are older lol
Great band. Mike Einziger was a totally original guitarist and I feel he's a bit underrated. Everyone in that band was top notch.
true.
Still are! Their latest album 8 is amazing!
The whole band is unrelated. I'm still convinced Brandon Boyd is one of the best vocalists. Mike creates great riffs; just interesting music in general. Both bassists are great. Dirk is amazing. And Jose while maybe not the fastest or most technical drummer makes some of the most interesting beats I've heard in rock music, has a great groove and has a hard hitting style that reminds me of Wilk from Rage.
Dirk lance...my god!
@@Neon_Rust Jose is way better than Brad. Literally 90% of Brad's beats are the same.
The "Make Yourself" album is imo a masterpiece. The mixing, the energy, the crazy dynamic and atmosphere changes Incubus had. Crazy good songwriting and singing. Front to back record for me
same
My favourite album of all time
Hell yea that album taught me how to think for myself when i was a kid
My fovorite album from them is Morning View and probably one of fav albums of all time.
S.C.I.E.N.C.E., Make Yourself, and Morning View are all masterpieces in my book. 3 of my all time favorite albums
Reading the comments and seeing everyone say "Awe, I wish it was _____ song," just goes to show you how many awesome and beloved songs Incubus gave us 😎
it also shows what a pain in the ass people are. One minute into it and people are talking about other bands... it's like stfu, chill out and follow along and hopefully learn something. Lots of detail to pay attention to and things to take away. If you write songs then you should definitely pay attention.
My favorite song of theirs is "Drive" 🙂
One of the most underrated bands of the 1990’s.
Rick, you should do “Dig”! Probably one of the best vocal performances I’ve heard in this genre! Great videos my man, thank you!
It'd be really interesting to see the deconstruction of that song. It's quite a piece
Incubus is the band that made me want to become a rockstar growing up. They will always be one of my all time favorites.
Same!
Same
Same. Them Nirvana and Green Day.
And sooooooo good live!!
Carol looked nervous, then bossed the chorus like it was nothing
Hell yeah she did
The drummer Jose Pasrillas is so great on this entire album! His patterns can be complex, but tasteful simultaneously. (he's pretty underrated imo)
I remember when I was first learning drums, I'd play along with the this whole album through in one sitting on many occasions no problem!
Thanks Rick for looking at an Incubus track!
I absolutely agree, the public has stopped listening to the complexity of music and often only associate skill with speed and volume. That's what I love about this series and what Rick is doing here to isolate all of the pieces to puzzle.
I’ve been binging his drum along videos. Have to admit I’ve never paid much attention to his drumming. Those videos he’s posted makes me appreciate the complexity and variety he plays. It’s sorely missing in a lot of modern drummers.
The drum stops are done in PRODUCTION??? MIND BLOWN! No wonder it feels so weird to play. Rick you are the best!
Yup. Pretty rad. Just makes you appreciate Joe Pasillas even more when he pulls it off live. Definitely an underrated drummer and band in general for their raw musical talents.
I feel like Josè played it that way but the muting was added to clean up the gaps and accentuate the stop-start vibe.
Either way it's a great part
Yeah you're definitely right. He's more than capable of nailing that part all the time, it's just a move to pop the drums more in the mix.
Mark Aird Definitely
You can actually hear a bit that missed the edit, right before the first break in the beat. Could mean that he played the beat without stopping.
Incubus are a really interesting band on many levels. Another great choice Rick
I like when Rick punches at key moments lol
Fist Pump
The feeling that you stay for
What makes this video great?
Rick 's knowledge.
Mike Einziger's riffs are always amazing and his chords are somewhat unusual which makes their songs different. Such an underrated guitarist IMO
Only Incubus could make a hit single using that random chord progression!
It's a real testament of how amazing and talented Incubus are!
Great vid 🖒
Check out pardon me acoustic version and chord progression is even cooler.
A salute to my high school days. So many memories wrapped up in this song/album.
These videos always leave me with a much greater appreciation and understanding of songs I've known for decades. It's like listening again for the first time. Thank you again Rick!
Please, please do Sick Sad Little World for an Incubus pt. 2 video! Jose Pasillas and Mike Einziger are criminally underrated and that song showcases them both perfectly.
Incubus is probably my fave rock band since the mid-90s
This is great, a few years into starting electric guitar, Einzinger was super important in my growth and acted as a bridge for me into jazz and jazz fusion. I feel many guitarists my age (30) who dug into his playing and influences (also Mars Volta at the time), ended up getting into King Crimson, Belew, electric Miles era, etc. I don’t listen to Incubus all that much now but they’ll forever be an invaluable part of my foundation and growth as a musician.
You could do a whole series of just Incubus songs. They have so many classics.
For reaaaaal. Anti Gravity would be a great one.
@@NickNicometi don’t think so. Rick has taken many songs I’ve never given a second thought about, or simply ‘didn’t like’, and shown a different way of LISTENING to a good song. Liking a song is only part of what makes music impact our lives.
Not gonna lie, Rick: Incubus has been my favorite band for about the last twenty years -- basically since this album was released. Real glad you made this one. Keep up the great work.
Saw Incubus in 95 as an opener and was floored.
There's just a moment as a young band where everything is working perfect and it shows with timeless songs.
I love how jose pasillas provides the jamming beats in every of their songs... I love them as a whole group, their creativity through the years
I love how pumped up Rick gets in the heavier parts of this song! I've never been a big Incubus fan, but this was pretty cool as all of his videos are.
Jason O they are amazing
Incubus always takes me back to good days, love the unique sound of that band. Also, nice to see Carol join in on the fun with this one!
My god Rick, Incubus is the most influential band I listened to in my early 20s and Brandon Boyd got me into singing! If you could make a series on the composition styles of artists such as Incubus, Soundgarden, Pearl Jam and so on it would be absolutely INSANE. Thanks so much for this
Incubus is stellar at doing fresh things with their music while still making it accessible to non-musicians and I love it so much
Would love to see Rick break down some more incubus tracks, such an underrated band.
Just got back from their concert in Grand Rapids, MI and still loving the band in 2023.
I'm a huge Incubus fan and it is so incredible to see you do a breakdown of one of their songs. I've enjoyed your videos for quite some time and but this one brought me genuine joy to watch and I can't thank you enough for that. Keep up the incredible work!
Heisenberg I feel the same!! Huge fan!
Great Song! Make Yourself and Morning View are my favorite albums
Add S.C.I.E.N.C.E. and you have the holy trinity.
@@imkris22 Not many bands have 3 albums as good as those.
Thanks again Rick for forcing me to rediscover these '90s songs I wrote off during my pretentious 'if it's not prog it sucks' period. Stellar songwriting and fantastic analysis as always - love this series!
Jason prog is great but there is just as much greatness outside of prog
Jason Stellar is a different song dude! (Jk)
"Stellar" songwriting... :)
Nice play on words. Incubus is a interStellar band
What makes this song great? It was written and performed by Incubus! I don't think I could have picked one single song, Incubus are soooooo underrated!
Greatness.....adding in of the keys.....good move
Aqueous Transmission is one of my favorite all time songs. Long one but would still love to hear a breakdown
First time I listened to this became a lifetime fan and singer of Incubus's praises. So criminally underated in their early era
So cool!! Nice playing both Rick and Carol!!
Hell yeah.. show incubus some love.. my favourite band of all times.. so underrated.
Honestly such a great band, from the interesting guitar tones, unique bass lines, killer drums, vocals. Such killer records
Great video showcasing this completely original and innovative and sophisticated band. Mike Eizinger and Mike Campbell are two completely forgotten guitar heroes in the discussion.
So many cool elements to this song. The cadence, drumming, inflated volume. This sound is uncommon and cuts through. Well articulated.
Awesome ! More incubus in the future please !!
Always loved that song, Deftones next?
We think the same :)
YUS. Preferably something from the self titled or Saturday Night Wrist IMO.
Agree.
Knife Party, though.
Minerva.
That song sounds super dense production wise!
Rick could make a whole series in Incubus! The sounds they make is second to none...
8:42 Carol seems to say “oh, you’re more interesting than I first thought..I got the groove now :)” after playing it as written while trying to find the groove. Love it
Cant watch till i get home but i can't tell you how much I've been waiting for incubus!!! Love this series!!!
Watching one Rick video and the new video pops up, that makes for a great evening!
Every member of the band is very good in playing their instrument.
I can never stop singing the verses to this song. When I'm washing the dishes. When I'm walking down the street. One of my favorites ever!
Pardon Me was my go to jam when I was a kid. When I'm washin dishes, it was Pardon Me that made washing dishes so awesome. When cleaning the restroom, it was Pardon Me that made me do this mundane task. It's just an awesome song!
I enjoy these episodes for so many reasons but mostly to hear the elements of the completed songs that are very subtle or lost in the mix until you know they are there.
Mike Enwizer, should be far more famous than he is. I remember learning playing guitar and getting into Incubus and my mind was blown with his chords and style. Jazz New Metal. Class.
This is probably my favorite channel on UA-cam. Wonderful concept Rick and you deliver beautifully.
Incubus was my whole middle and high school, Rick!! I absolutely love hearing the isolated tracks and the in depth analysis you do it really makes me appreciate the song and band even more....keep rocking my friend!
SO PARDON MEEEEEE
Mate, you just got me into this band.
I'm gonna go check EVERYTHING they've written.
Fobia's Bizarre One Man Band best band ever.
Listen to SCIENCE...holy crap, man...
@@peterbechtel9824 yeah science and make yourself are their best albums, but i love everything upto a crow left of the murder, the stuff after that less so
Been waiting for Incubus to be on here. You made my favorite band in the world more awesome.
This song is beautiful. I almost want to cry right now; something about hearing small parts of the overall song isolated feels so intimate. Thank you for doing this
Incubus is one of my all time favorite bands. Incredible song writing and guitar playing
I LOVE Brandon's voice! He has one of the best voices in the game!
Great video, as usual. I like how you set up the thumbnail to keep us guessing what song it’s gonna be in all your videos. I had my fingers crossed for “nowhere fast,” but I knew that was a long shot. One of my favorite channels on UA-cam.
Fuff Mcduffin I love “Nowhere Fast” (one of my favorite Incubus songs, if not my absolute favorite), but it seems he only does hit singles of bands with stems from Guitar Hero: World Tour. “Pardon Me” is from the same album, however, and has similar elements such as drum and bass verses with volume swelling seventh chords on guitar, wall of sound Alt-Rock chorus, etc. The “Steve Vai” rip-off bridge of “Nowhere Fast” is interesting, though.
I love your videos man!
Everytime i finish watching one, i feel a little more knowledgeable, and it makes me further appreciate the band. Thank you for doing what you do.
I love these videos - providing history, context, and breakdown of songs.
I've always loved Brandon Boyd's vocals. Amazing artist.
I love how people say after morning view the band went down hill. Some even before that. These are the same people that would complain that all their songs sound the same if they kept remaking SCIENCE over and over. The band got older and evolved. Most of the people that say this also do not buy the full albums. Light Grenades was a great album. Rogues is one of my favorite songs by them. Put your elitism down and just enjoy music!
2023 still one of my favorite bands.
Consistently one of my favorite bands. I know a lot of people have opinions about their more recent work, but I still love it. In my opinion they grow and change as people so why couldn’t their music also? They are all incredibly talented. I have such good memories associated to their music.
Nice touch with Carol. Killer drums indeed. Great vid. Greetings from Rio.
Incubus is one of my favorite bands! Loved this one. I’d love to hear a Queens of the Stone Age video
I already did one www.flatfiv.com
Rick Beato crap how did I miss that? Will
Be checking it out! Love your videos
Rick Beato - If there ever was a ‘what makes this song great’ candidate in the wing, it would be “Love Is Like Oxygen” (The Sweet). Perhaps consider?
I saw Incubus live maybe 8 years ago and it was easily one of the best live shows I’ve ever seen. They had their set dialed in beautifully and I was fortunate enough to have some of the best seats in the house. They sounded incredible.
@rickbeato LOVE it! Incubus is one of my all-time favs. Keep up the good work!
Wow...these guys deserved way more credit than I ever gave them.
Love Incubus. They are real artists.
Yup!!
Another fantastic analysis of a personal favorite. Thank you for these great videos, Rick!
Well, you just renewed my love for my *favorite band of all time* Sir.
Excellent video.
Thanks for your efforts Rick. Besides Incubus is one of my favorite bands, I really appreciate all the time and hard work in all the videos of this series. I found really fascinating the way you analyse all the instruments, and I'm really aware that transcribing (even when there are some little excerpts) is very difficult, takes time and patience. Please, don't listen to all the people that are always complaining about songs selection (whatever song you choose to analyse is always welcome and will be great!)... I really believe that you are pretty kind, a great guitar player and a great music connaisseur. Thanks for this superb video
I was hoping for Drive, but Pardon Me is really good, too, mostly for Mike Einziger’s guitar skills on this track. 🎸🎵🎶
Yea, I was hoping it was DRIVE also.. Oh well, Its all great with Rick. Too many great songs, not Enough Rick B's!
Would love to hear something from S.C.I.E.N.C.E.
But that wouldn't be popular enough, I'm guessing.
Dave Messenheimer ‘A Certain Shade of Green’ would have been a good pick. But it’s still a relatively unknown deep Incubus track, compared to the stuff off of Make Yourself.
I was hoping for interstellar but this one is good too
I knew Einziger is an absolute monster, but I never noticed it on this track until now how difficult this song is. He's using so many effects, techniques, and the timing has to be absolutely perfect at times.
Rick, it’s like you are doing my all time playlist in this series. I love it!
Pointing emphasis on song part makes this channel great! You’re teaching us to hear!!! Incredible! thanks Rick!
I love this song and this record. Great choice Rick -- huge Incubus fan -- sophisticated beyond they're time especially considering the era they came out of....
Billy Hughes that's actually very true
In my opinion Incubus and System of a Down were the only bands that mattered from that era.
For real. Nobody was making music like this at the time
I feel like Incubus occupies a weird, slightly underrated space in 2000s music. This album and Morning View are probably two of my most played albums in my first car’s CD player, but for some reason they don’t jump off the page on “best of the decade” lists or anything. Really were a fantastic band though.
My man, love, love, love these boys from Calabasas! Many thanks for this one Rick!!
THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU for making this video. One of my all time favorite songs seen in a whole new way. I kept getting chills because that's what music can do to us. It means so much to me personally because it was one of this teenage year songs. Man. Thank you
Would love a What Makes This Song Great with Deftones.
Chills when it was just Brandon singing. But everything is so thought out and so well done. Music is magic.
Dude... keep up the hard work. I can tell you really work at this! I think this might be my favorite episode besides the 1st Blink Song. What a huge blessing you are. Thank you bro. I’ve learned so much just by watching these videos about dynamics and all the things that make songs great!
Yes! Been waiting for some Incubus one of my favourite band. Great series Rick. 👍
Could you please do Beck next? He is often looked over as a stoner rocker or the guy who did Loser but he is probably one of the most eclectic musicians of the last 20 years. He's done everything from folk, country, blues to rock, hip hop, funk, electronic. Also has written one of the best breakup albums of all time in Sea Change.
Back would be a GREAT one. Good Suggestion!
I vote for the always good 'loser' (his first BIG hit) or 'Devil's Haircut' would be awesome as it's a simplistic chord progression reiterated into an oblivion of awesomeness, Plus that over emphasized snare sound in the mix is killer, or he could possibly do something more offbeat, like 'beautiful way' or 'Debra'...although given the ridiculous context of 'Debra'....I think 'Loser' or 'Devil's Haircut' would be better suited to the WMTSG series, lol.
If you want to talk about production a far more interesting choice would be Heart is a Drum, especially with regard to how it sounds so rich.
Rick probably doesn't want the Xenu cultists breathing own his neck.
Anything from Midnight Vultures. Yep.
You said it .
Great Song .
Honestly can say that I have never listened to a bad song from these artists .
Amazing series. Some of these songs I thought I had burned out on due to hearing them too many times. But now I am listening to them with much greater appreciation due to these breakdowns.
This was wonderful. Thank you for reminding me why I freaking love that album so much. ♥️
Damn. Pretty sophisticated rock tune. Your guitar sound great.
More Carol:)
You could do incubus forever, and I'd love to watch, they have so many killer songs. Neither Of Us Can See, Nowhere Fast, Warning, Vitamin.
You Mr. Rick Beato is doing a wonderful job in breaking down and explaining songs that makes them great, from a technical/professional point of view to a musical perspective at the same time, letting ordinary people who just like music, digest and appreciate it more the way this artists and musicians wanted to express their music to us. I'm an aspiring drummer but doesn't have the resources to pursue for now and earphones are already part of my ears for my daily life. That's how I love music and this really helped me understand and appreciate it more. Thank you very much for sharing your thoughts and professional skills, letting us add more knowledge and appreciation to music. Please don't stop this series. By the way, Incubus and this song are one of my favorites!
The band is what makes this song great! Incubus is touring with 311! Denver Colorado this July 24th!
I was hoping it was gonna be Sick Sad Little World from A Crow Left of the Murder. The drums and guitar really shine on that one. Awesome solo and awesome drum fills, Brandon's vocals, even Ben's bass... over all one of their best songs imo!
Sick Sad Little World for sure
Honestly probably too complicated of a song to break down in this format. That song is phenomenal though
God I wanna hear that stripped down, guitar and piano version with his vocals over the top.
Thank you Rick! I'm in a super low place right but for some reason you making this video just brought a smile in anticipation. I appreciate and value your work
Your content is so good and I'm so pleased to see my fave bands represented. If you ever revisit incubus, I'd love to hear 'the warmth' broken down. Keep up the great work and fascinating content. Like someone else had said, it's like rediscovering the songs again. And that eureka moment when you notice things you've never noticed on your previous hundreds of listens is incredible!
