1. Writes his own basslines, where as Mike wrote Dirks.
2. Can play almost any instrument which helps out the creative process.
3. Can play more than 1 style, and is much much more versatile.
4. His vocals are tremendous, watch the warmth live at red rocks.
5. Can glide over a bass guitar, and create melodic basslines as well as rocking out. Dirk was always agressive and thumped the bass guitar nearly all the time.
ben kenny is legit, this is badass and even respectful that he plays the slap part, i like the guy, but you are wrong to say that he is "better" than dirk.. don't be foolish peeps.
It always A-mazes me the people who complain about Ben not playing "Dirk's way" or " the way Dirk did" or "the way it's supposed to be played" esp while listening to this song....I guess the lyrics(about NOT defining yourself according to someone else's standards) mean nothing whatsoever.
to me all that matters is that at least they actually played the original version of this song and not just fuckin acoustic like they did last tour. and at least Ben got to learn how to play it well
@videojudge01 amen to that. I hate the acoustic version of songs from their S.C.I.E.N.C.E album. with the exception of Certain Shade of Green, Deep Inside, and Summer Romance (Anti-Gravity)
@AbeSpiegel i couldn't help but about gag my insides out when i heard the acoustic 'certain shade of green'. not to be all black and white but Monuments and Melodies was a big disappointment to me. their new single 'black heart inertia' is just ridiculously poppy,
well, no help there redeeming their previous CD Light Grenades. the song 'Dig' was sensational, but i just couldn't get into the rest, it being all pop-punkish
whoa this is just recent? alright! their playing the original version of it now instead of the fuckin watered-down acoustic mix. looks like their new bassist took the time to actually practice playing dirk's way.
sweet! keep it up guys and please come with some awesome new stuff!
Those who claim dirk is better than Ben kenny must now shut up,they have two different styles which altered the bands sound and now you can't say Ben Kenny isn't able to slap.
It was the same at the Hollywood Bowl ... im so used to seeing them play to a crowd that REALLY loved them but it seemed like the people just didnt give a shit ... so disappointing in that aspect but INCUBUS WAS INCREDIBLE i really loved listening to them ... and i think the reason they didnt have any personality like they usually do is because they had very limited time to play ... and they looked EXTREMELY tired
Yo AKowalski86 how did you like the crowd in Santa Barbara? man just got back from the Vegas Show and hate to say it but the crowd was lame! ppl in the back were rocking out while the front sucked ass. nothing compared to the lucky few (like you and myself) who got to see the Echoplex show right?!
INCUBUS IS INCUBUS!
And even without Alex they're still INCUBUS!
All in all they're both sick at what they do!
Oh yeah, this was a sick video to watch:)

Ben is better than Dirk for so many reasons.
1. Writes his own basslines, where as Mike wrote Dirks.
2. Can play almost any instrument which helps out the creative process.
3. Can play more than 1 style, and is much much more versatile.
4. His vocals are tremendous, watch the warmth live at red rocks.
5. Can glide over a bass guitar, and create melodic basslines as well as rocking out. Dirk was always agressive and thumped the bass guitar nearly all the time.

which makes sense since theres houses on the rim of the bowl
