i voted "don't mind either way" only because i've disliked their last two albums immensely.
Yeah, I used to love Incubus. From "Morning View" on though, something happened and I sort of lost interest. I would have loved to see them live back in the S.C.I.E.N.C.E days though.
^ you should check em out, they got some really good stuff.
I view their progression as a band very similar to the Red Hot Chili Peppers
While Incubus has always been heavier, they both started out with some definite funk in their sound. Both bands have progressively seemed to get more and more radio friendly.
I really like their older funky stuff, but their catchy stuff is good too and hey, there's a reason it's called catchy.
I dont think theres anyway they could be a headliner. You guys tend underestemate the outside potential draw of headliners (Think MMJ, who could never ever be a Bonnaroo headliner, I'm sorry. I dig them, but theyre just NOT big enough).
I see Incubus as a late night set on the Which Stage, rather than a pre-headliner. (Think The Flaming Lips this year)
i used to be a huge inucbus fan but jsut recently lost intrest in them. their newest cd (light grenades) kind of sucks.... but i love all their other stuff
ive only seen them twice. once during the "morning view tour" and once during the "a crow left of the murder" tour. in my opinion the crow tour blew morning view out of the water. a lot of people dont like that cd but i think its their best yet as far as musicianship goes. its different, but i think the sound they had goin during crow was the best suited for bonnaroo...i mean have you heard "sick sad little world" live??? its perfect for bonnaroo
I definitely don't see them as a headliner, but I've heard they put on a top-notch live show. Brandon has a great voice and they're excellent musicians, but the lyrics are a little painful on some of their songs. I'm actually seeing them tonight, so I'll be able to say for sure when I get back.
their newest cd (light grenades) kind of sucks....
Understatement of the year.
I don't like em. I liked S.C.I.E.N.C.E, but everything after has been mediocre, at best. I saw em at Lolla a few years ago, and I was not impressed at all. I think Brandon Boyd takes himself a little too seriously. I hate how he always takes off his shirt and flails the microphone cord around, constantly. It really got on my nerves. I wouldn't be opposed to them at Roo. I just wouldn't go the show.

I dont think so at all. I like it muccccch better than A Crow Left... and probably better than Morning View too. I'd say its right up there with the best stuff the've ever done.
But I'm way more of a fan of the SCIENCE/Make Yourself era than the Fungus Amongus era.

All you Incubus haters are dead wrong. You gotta see em live to understand the type of energy they exert during their shows. It's totally a different experience. If they came to Bonnaroo, I would want nothing less than a headlining spot. It'd be a legendary performance, I guarantee they'd go for the full 2 and a half hour time allotted to them, and it'd be amazing.
Brandon, Mikey, Jose, Ben and Kilmore....please talk to Superfly/AC, get on that friggin bill nextg year! Thanks!

im not a fan of incubus and iv been hearing they have been fairly boring this last tour. especially the jones beach show, everyone i know that went felt like they wasted their money
