Ben Kenney can suck my dick, but yeah, maybe you're a fan who likes Love Hurts, Dig, u made a fan club and you'd like Brandon Boyd to be your boyfriend.
I don't know if Dirk was more talented, but what i know is he was essential for incubus sound. I can't say the same about Kenney.
I read online a while ago that ur so called legendary Bassist didn't even write his bass lines. From what Mike said in a private interview was that the reason he left the band was because he was lazy and always clashed with the band during early morning recordings because he was not an early riser. Mike also mentioned that he wrote most of the bass lines as well as guitar.
amen man, everyone praising Dirk like he was god, like we was good, but ben man is amazing, i love the fact that he doesnt slap, its such a cliche thing to do on a bass guitar. ben kenney is my idol
@Cleland494 Ben is awesome and so was Dirk but saying slapping on bass is a cliche is like saying strumming a guitar is cliche, it's just a technique used. A bloody hard one at that.
People say some of his bass lines are easy but they actually are pretty awesome, its not all about being a hard bassline, its about fitting it to a song and I think Ben is an amazing musician. And plus, he writes it himself Not bashing Dirk but, I think Ben is better
@RZech285 well first off dirk is legendary, he was a great musician and added every great bassline to all of incubus' songs. secondly, everyone has said this and I've read this article too, but I've also read where mike has just mainly given him ideas and shown him the general notes ( which i would need help too considering that mike is a very unique guitar player and song writer lol) but mike named the songs that dirk did write and they were the most badass lines, I could name them all for you.
if you think Ben is 'rookie' then check out some of his solo stuff which is quality. He also plays drums, bass, lead AND sings. not many people are as naturally talented as him, so please give it a rest. Dirk was good, infact, better then good.... but just because he plays a different 'style' to Ben doesn't make him better - both are amazing in their own way, but Ben fits better with how the band has evolved over time.
@Casemandoo it's kenney but yea he does all the songs justice...it's not as if he doesn't belong, people don't like change in the music world, they think it makes things worse...in this case i don't think anything changed other than their music style, but bands evolve. ben is a great musician and he more than fills the empty space that they had. if you don't like the music why are you wasting your time posting negative comments.
@ChrisTheShred yea they actually do still mess around with some mdma type stuff still, like in the are you in video of them at this concert brandon seems more into in that usual and seems a little like he's on somthing lol
DUDE!!...when they break into that at after the bridge.. at 3:26.. The energy is freakin' awesome!! the crowd jumping up and down.. damn i wish i was there!
I miss this incubus. The new album is great but come on.
