Dirk Lance is a goddamn BEAST

[JiveTurkey]

So I LOVE early Incubus. I knew Dirk could rip but I never focused on him so much as the overall songs and albums of everything up to Morning View. I need to finish this up still but this guy FUCKING RIPS on the bass. Holy hell!

If you dig that era; check it!

Dirk is definitely bad-ass.

The difference is really noticable in the live performances of those older songs. I preferred the way the rhythm section sounded with Dirk.

1000%. I don't know if I've ever had a drop off of enjoyment from a bass player change

The bass licks on S.C.I.E.N.C.E. are

No love for Ben?

Morning View was the last album I liked from them. Not sure whose "fault" (my own even maybe?) that is.

 

[FuzzyAce]

I need to go back and listen to those albums, just never spent much time with Incubus for some reason. He's definitely a killer bassist.

Btw, he mentioned tone is in the hands.

Samesies!

Watched this on Friday with the boy. When I was younger I got into a band with some friends who were really big Incubus fans, who turned me on to their older stuff.

That interviewer really needs to give him his dick back, though. The gushing was a little over the top.

More like tone is in the palming technique

I think Ben fit what they were going for after Morning View, which was more straight ahead alt rock. The older stuff with Dirk had some really groovy stuff with more syncopation. Just a totally different approach to bass (fingers w/ Dirk vs picks with Ben).

They definitely seemed to lose the punk and funk vibes when Ben came on board.

That was a great watch!

I’ve always known of this band but don’t know any of their material. In fact, I’m surprised you geezers are such fans? My millennial cousin loves them; I associate them with that age group.

What album or songs would be a good place to start?

(By the way, I’m full-on geezer too .)

I'm not super into them but I really dig the songs "Drive", "Are You In?" and "Wish You Were Here".

I bought the Morning View album a couple years back, which the last two songs are on.

Lots of great funky, and nuggets buried in there as well. Not heavy but heavy in a 'we listened to FNM and Primus sort of way'

Let's not forget their absolute heater of a debut album that for some reason they pretend doesn't exist and don't have up on spotify
