I have now listened to the incubus album in full, and it sucks. Obviously just my opinion and what do i know, but it sucks. i own 7 hours of incubus and 3 dvds and this is by far their worst stuff. I t just seems lacking in something. Love the single but there is a lot of stuff on the album that i just don't get, the opening track especially, along with the title track.
I even dislike Jose's playing, i never thought i would say that.
Really dissappointed as i was looking forward to it so much but oh well. I just hope that this isn't a sign of things to come.
Bring back Dirk Lance!!!!! Ben kenny just isnt the same, i still think that he's good and really liked the stuff he did on Crow left of the murder but he's just not as funky.
Anyway, my 2 cents, ignore me at will. I'm sure plenty of people will love it.
hell yeah i'd be happy talking to the tech. he'd probably be happier talking about all his equipment etc.
i keep hearing that his cymbal setup has changed from the one on the internet, someone saying he uses rides as crashes etc.
And since we are speaking about Jose, I think his playing is tasteful on this last release and I really dig the sound and mix of the drums. To each his own I guess...
Does anybody else like this guy or have their comments on him? You should listen to "redefine" , "glass", "magic medicine" , "nowhere fast" , or " Battlestar Scralatchtica" by Incubus, if you want to check him out.
the venue sizes they play can be pretty huge.
Ok, so I am going to meet Jose Pasillas this Friday night (along with the rest of Incubus) because I won these meet and greet tickets. Has anyone else ever won these things? Do you actually get to talk to the band members? If so, what should I ask Jose?
He's okay. Hasn't got many chops though. I quite like his band.
I just finished watching ALIVE @ RED ROCKS, awesome!!! Jose, Ben, & Brandon to a triple drum solo followed by a solo by Jose'. For those that think that he doesn't have chops, you obviously haven't a clue. What is it with drummers lately? We all talk about playing for the song and what not, but then hack on each other for not having chops? Stupid!!!
Thats great bud, Post the picWell, I got to meet him last Friday night. It was awesome. The whole band was super nice. I only got to talk to Jose for a couple of minutes, though, because the band was running late. I did get a picture with him, so that was cool. All in all, it couldn't have gone better unless I could of had more time to talk with him.

IF you scan it I will love you.
What did you and Jose talk about?
How do I post a pic?
