Saw Saliva at a Rockfest. The singer made fun of Eddie Vedder for being un-American. PJ was not on the bill - Judas Priest headlined the evening.

Fun fact: I saw Incubus and Dave Matthews Band on back to back nights. Great seats for both!
Nice, KD. I’d go see Incubus. Of all the bands in this tournament they’re the one that I have mild interest in. And I barely know any of their music. 6-8 songs at most.

I saw them three times on the same tour, which was too much (the second and third shows just kind of fell into my lap, but still -- I was ready to be done seeing them forever after that).

I remember they had this tour bus that was painted up like the CD design of "Morning View" (Brandon's art I think, some kind of fish), which we dubbed the "Incu-Bus." During the summer of 2002 my friends and I saw it parked at the same rest stop as us when we were on a camping trip, and we scoured the rest area in the hopes of finding someone from the band, but never did.

I have no taste for Incubus now; at the time they felt like an eclectic, innovative spin on the new thing, and in many ways they were, but the net impression they leave on me is no different than any of the rest of this stuff. By the time the "Morning View" follow up came out, I'd moved onto other things.

That story about the bus was a lot more interesting in my head

ANOTHER FUEL SONG!

I'd rather listen to Shakira's goat wailings than that guy.

This is a fun tourney, LV.

I like all these bands more than U2.

It is only really bad when you actually watch him singing. I made the mistake of actually watching one of their videos. Somehow his voice was made worse when I attached it to the person singing.

Nevertheless, their radio singles remain some of my guilty pleasures in this tourney.

Click Click Boom is so bad it was banned from being played in my high school football locker room.

I pretty much have the same relationship with Incubus as you do.

Incubus was one of my ex-wife's favorites. So I fucking hate them, I've just decided for this tournament.
