"We have all the elements of being the worst band in the world: a bass player who’s got some slap-bass shit, heavy riff guitars, a DJ scratching on the songs, a crazy drummer, and a singer who’s in touch with his feminine side. Even our band name is the worst name ever: it evokes imagery of ‘Incubus’ in death-metal writing, with bullet belts across our chests."
Brandon Charles Boyd is an American musician, best known as the lead vocalist of the rock band Incubus, with whom he has recorded eight studio albums.
"I attribute a scab to the present state of society. The way the scab looks in its worst state is gross and chaotic and horrible, thats now, but when it breaks away, theres a brand new piece of skin thats stronger than before. Its like creation out of chaos."
Brandon Boyd"When were making music together, its like five men making love-in a very platonic sense. Its very erotic, because your spirits are intermingling, youre becoming one. Its also why it can get so heated. Youre tapping into this electricity thats very primal."
Brandon Boyd"Can someone please explain to me your ever-present lack of speed?"
Brandon Boyd"Jose just got a tattoo of an ass tattooed on his ass the other day. Its actually quite fascinating. Confusing, but fascinating. When you come to the show, ask him about it. Hell show you."
Brandon Boyd"Imagine your brain as a canister filled with ink, Now think of your body as the pen where the ink resides. Fuse the two - Kapow! What are you now? Youre the human magic marker, wont you please surprise my eyes?"
Brandon Boyd"I was in a bookstore, browsing through an old Life magazine, when I saw a picture of what the article called spontaneous human combustion. There were an old guys legs and shoes, perfectly intact...then, right around his knee area, was just a pile of charred ashes. I was going through some turmoil in my life, both good and bad, and the image struck a chord, so...I wrote a song about it."
Brandon Boyd"Today, you are hated throughout the world. If you dont know this, you should. The peoples burn your flag. The Islamic peoples all over the world chant: "Death to America!"
"pity this busy monster, manunkind, not. Progress is a comfortable disease: your victim (death and life safely beyond) plays with the bigness of his littleness"
E. E. Cummings"I believe that the unity of man as opposed to other living things derives from the fact that man is the conscious life of himself. Man is conscious of himself, of his future, which is death, of his smallness, of his impotence; he is aware of others as others; man is in nature, subject to its laws even if he transcends it with his thought."
Erich Fromm"Over the centuries, mankind has tried many ways of combating the forces of evil...prayer, fasting, good works and so on. Up until Doom, no one seemed to have thought about the double-barrel shotgun. Eat leaden death, demon..."
"I wasnt offended by the movies content so much as by its nihilism. At a time when the world is in crisis and the country faces an important election, the response of Parker, Stone and company is to sneer at both sides—indeed, at anyone who takes the current world situation seriously. They may be right that some of us are puppets, but theyre wrong that all of us are fools, and dead wrong that it doesnt matter."
"I will re-calculate. Your deaths will be indescribable."
