incubus - talk shows on mute

[Lieven29]

The real meaning of this song is that Incubus rocks. So shut up and listen to it.

[bsbduff]

me encanta esta cancion .. tiene un ritmoo muy bueno!

[2009lsfds]

"the electric sheep are dreaming up your fate" - reference to the book 'do androids dream of electric sheep?' which the film Blade Runner was based on. Touch me

[PlinioFRSampaio]

I think the song's real menin' is that sometimes, TV thinks taht the audience is dumb and thay keep them dumb when their dutie is to warn, inform and provide inputs to make people think and have an opinion about everything: politics, economy, etc instead of only show The Kardashians and Celeb Gossip

[pedrosobota]

It's weird that they are playing this in a talk show!

[86TheFuhrer]

gempak sial lagu ni

[brandonboydisgod]

everyone who thinks this song is about cocaine is fucking dumb.

[yanzitommy]

just cuz the audio/video is off sync doesn't mean its pre recorded...it sounds different than the album version

[anasan89]

QUE BONITA CANCION POR DIOS!

[BorgKing001]

this isn't live, the lip sync is off

[27Datolo]

great song¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡



[gastulo000]

oh man, u would think they playbackin

[machinadeferia]

They're so f*cking good. I'm going to their concert on October 5th, here in Argentina. And I also won a Make Yoursef Foundation auction so I'll get to meet them before the show. I can't even believe it yet!

Anyone else notice that spells cocaine? ;)

[illosinob]

@TheEclipse9 yes it spells cocaine but make sure you know the real meaning of this song...it's message is really important

[TheMrstrokes]

@illosinob so... what is the real meaning?

[illosinob]

@TheMrstrokes 1984 is a book by George Orwell that warns of the government taking away all of our freedoms in the name of "protection".. spying on the people, etc... The Patriot Act is a perfect example of what Orwell was warning about... "People willing to trade their freedom for temporary security deserve neither and will lose both" -Benjamin Franklin.... incubus is acknowledging that we are being taken over by tyrants

[miriam724]

@illosinob I haven't seen "Blade Runner" or read "Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep" but I've read 1984 and agree that this song is about Orwell's totalitarian society, emphasized all the more by the song's title.

[sgohara]

does Ben have a taliban beard in this?

[01jarf]

so ironic and so incubus to play talk show on mute.. on a talk show...

[petra9425]

incubus rule!!!

[TD1Celestial]

They sound great live. I minimized the tab and I seriously forgot that I wasn't listening to the actual album.

[gerachannel]

is bout the people in front on camera that just sometines got one moment of glory but if you now yourself you now that ure so much more than one moment and this is also in life well that´s what i fell means this tune i dont think is bout cocaine! but brandon boyd is so smart in his lyrics that yeah the song got COCAINE in that verse but to me the song is not bout that at all!!!

[PunkxLove94]

Mike's using a rythm guitar, right? Not a lead?

[TheDsheike]

@PunkxLove94

No such thing as a "rythm" guitar. Guitars are just guitars. One guitar and one bass so by default he's lead.

[EmmettRocks1999]

i love that dudes mustache.. :) great song

[missflierg]

Hey! What a nice surprise to find all this vids of Incubus!!! Thanks for sharinga, again ;)

[jeromecorona10]

this is one of my favorite songs in incubus...\m/

[0461554]

Wonderful song....

[iknowijustdontcare]

losing virginity... really, i think it's about a girl who is very attractive and a star on tv, but that person doesnt have anything but good looks, so it is better for her to keep her mouth shut, and just stay on that idiot box.

the trend on tv, which looks really matter.

[AyyRaeRaee]

I like this explanation better... haha.

[AyyRaeRaee]

guess i missed the point;, but how is it about losing virginity? its a legit question haha. love this song, and band!

[optica1illusi0n]

he lost his virginity while he was watching a talk show, they muted it and went at it, end of story

[baronvonchunk]

Brandon's too good of a writer to make the meaning that simple. It's for your own interpretation. I think it's just about how people follow trends to such a high degree.

[zen123ist]

its about virginity guys

[mortoification]

um dos melhores q eu ja vi....incubus e otimo

[gleidsonprata21]

Essa musica e de ++++++++++

OMG NO WAI!! You're the first person to put that together OMG OMG

[TrumanK9]

wtf the snare angle is backwards.. interesting.

[nicoboyd]

yep, jose tends to use it that way

[SadeT617]

the drummer of pierce the veil has his snare like that too. i don't know why but it works for them.

[skateforpeace123]

its to make shots easier

[orgyfanx]

love it

[fuknboom]

he has the madest voice ive ever heard. really unique sound they're playing with. got really good feel.

legendry.

[NOVELTY098]

i never liked mustaches but he makes them cool haha

[glyder1836]

lol

[Vik1786]

mike guitar sounds weird in this performance

too low...

still great performance

[gothdolly84]

What a shame my ex boyfriend wanted to leave so early on the concert incubus was at in wellington it really pissed me off! I really love these guys!

[stoney490]

what the heck is up wih jose's drum kit? it looks like some kind of jazz set up.

[VG92]

they only played 1 song, he only brings the kit required for the song.

[groovyw53]

yeah looks like his set in the "talk shows on mute" video..4 piece with the cymbals up in the sky..and check out the snare angle!! :)

[flowerpower111]

Dude fender is fucking overrated to me!

[jmen1333]

you can tell Mike hates that fucking fender

[slick82958]

yeah he did stick around on a jazzmaster tho....then he go rid of it and is on that sg junior...seems like hes just trying out different guitars, wonder why he got rid of the prs tho

[Smuffleri]

I heard from somewhere that he just didn't find it interesting, it was simply too easy to play. But that telecaster doesn't suit him at all, he looks like he picked up a guitar for the first time. Sounds good though.

[bendinggreenvans]

why the hell did you get two thumbs down, I thought that was a perfectly reasonable comment!

[Smuffleri]

Well dunno, I guess Incubus fans take any form of critical humour seriously. Seriously, look at Mike. He does this duck walk while holding still. Take a look at 1:20 , thats hilarious :D

You can tell, the bridge on that fender is pretty much in the back of the body and that neck is too long for mike since he is a fairly short guy. Nowadays he uses the Gibson SG junior which has the bridge waaay closer to the neck, you can see the original drill holes in the body. I guess he likes it that way.

[bendinggreenvans]

tehe

[fenderpeter]

''He does this duck walk while holding still''.. Hahahahah soo funny..!

[SadeT617]

lol I think he does the duck walk to keep in time with the music.

[ngnaw]

Muse is the only other band that can top Incubus live... and that's saying a lot! "love hurts..."

[netpeasant]

incubus is my favorite band by far, but i couldnt agree with you more. Muse live blows my mind.

[FancyFunkFool]

what about radiohead??

[yourfriendblake]

hah them playing this on letterman. kinda ironic

[MuddyTonic]

ah yes, you see.

Just shows how brilliant they are, i don't think you need to take much from it, most likely just one of their quirks.

awesome though

[chriscros13]

[WolfSyndrome]

[crytotheangels89]

Tocan muy bien ...........incubus...Talk Shows On Mute

[mjlew01207]

one of the 2 oe 3 best bands of this generation. noquestion. and I've seen them all from Led Zeppelin and the Faces to these guys.

[AlternoXtremo]

ptm sin comentarios incubus Bravazo  cuando vienen a PERU jejejejeej.

[IAmTheOwnageBiatch]

god damn man incubus freakin OWN lol...freaking harmonic vocals just awesome :)

[SaraC75]

Thanks sooo much for putting up the lyrics!!

[mlpblink182]

this song is hands down, the best song in rock history due to its original lyrics and its beautiful blues solo best song ever

[PJS15]

a crow left of the murder was a GREAT album. i think as time goes by it will get the respect it deserves.

[esmercee]

this is such a beatiful and honest song

[Hoodlum4Prez]

crow left is some of Brandon's best lyrical work. The band is great because each album is a perfect representation for our generation during the times they come out. So to say that one album is better than another is pointless. This band will always be an influence on underground and mainstream music and its awesome to see them succeed but not forget who they are and where they came from!

[esmercee]

i agree with you soooooo much!

[rearwheelslider]

They arent nor have been an underground band. They just make good music. They arent all underground like sublime or greenday(sellouts) were. Inc is just inc. Just great.

[Hoodlum4Prez]

i didn't say that they were underground I said they influence underground music as well as mainstream music.

[rearwheelslider]

well then you would be right. good job. want a koockie? eat my smegma but your my boy cuz we love incubus.

[CUUUUUUUUURTIS]

there are great songs like this on ACLOTM yet there are alot of people who bitch about the album.

[deejayfio]

i know what you mean. aclotm is actually an ok album. not their greatest, but still not at all bad.

[CUUUUUUUUURTIS]

Exactly. Especially since it has Sick Sad Little World.

[black5881]

oh,they played on david letterman show...that´s cool...I´m portuguese and we here in Portugal don´t see LETTERMAN,cause we don´t have it here,but we see Jay Leno and Conan O´brien...INCUBUS ROCKS..........

[black5881]

Their live performance was amazing...for what show did they played?

[solidwolf346]
