katethomson Posted January 5, 2010 Report Share Posted January 5, 2010 I was just wondering if anyone knows whether there's been any word of incubus playing? They released their greatest hits album in June 09 and only toured the US...it's about time they came over! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vieuphoria Posted January 5, 2010 Report Share Posted January 5, 2010 i think it's really likely... but could be at Download. Would be nice to see them at Reading though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jordanuk90 Posted January 5, 2010 Report Share Posted January 5, 2010 I like the sound of that download! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lithium05 Posted January 5, 2010 Report Share Posted January 5, 2010 (edited) Hope Incubus are no where near Reading or Download. I like them on record, but live* they're dire, and a waste of a good slot. *based on Reading 05 and Download 08, not been to their own shows, so maybe it's just festivals they "phone it in" for.

Matticus Posted January 5, 2010 Report Share Posted January 5, 2010 pretty shabby live, put em on headlining 2nd stage at download or something when ac/dc are on! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

katethomson Posted January 5, 2010 Report Share Posted January 5, 2010 I just really want to see them I've managed to miss every gig they've done over here in the last 5 years so I have major cravings. I was also hoping Eagles of Death Metal might play again because they were awesome when I saw them live, but I think Jesse Hughes is doing solo stuff. I would definately settle for TCV though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mamba Posted January 5, 2010 Report Share Posted January 5, 2010 Cliched I know, but haven't seen them put on a great performance since The Borderline and Bristol Fleece & Firkin back in '98. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wilcox Posted January 6, 2010 Report Share Posted January 6, 2010 Classic case of terrible at festivals (05 and 08) and great at their own shows - they were fantastic in Prague on the Light Grenades tour Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
katethomson Posted January 6, 2010 Report Share Posted January 6, 2010 Had the misfortune of seeing them at both of those festivals (left and stood in the cashpoint queue at Leeds 05) but got dragged to see them at the SECC a couple of years back and they were pretty damn good.

VCK Posted January 6, 2010 Report Share Posted January 6, 2010 I hear they're supposed to be a bit dull live. And Download might be tempting if Metallica, AC/DC, Soundgarden and QOTSA are all there, but then QOTSA were shocking when they played Leeds 2008.

Chavmeisterdeluxe Posted January 6, 2010 Report Share Posted January 6, 2010 I've seen them 5 times, twice awesome, one good, twice (both at Reading) a bit bland, mostly due to choice of set list. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thegremlin_1999 Posted January 6, 2010 Report Share Posted January 6, 2010 saw em at reading in about 2002 and they were dreadful. went to see em at download in 2008 thinking they cant be that bad again. i was wrong, they were even worse. and they didnt even play their best/arguably most famous song (certain shade of green). i hope they go play on the end of a very short plank over a very big drop and disappear until they realise that a festival show is worth bothering about.

jordanuk90 Posted January 6, 2010 Report Share Posted January 6, 2010 I hate bands that half arse their way through a set at festivals fair enough you should see them in their own right at their gigs but still you're getting paid put the effort in Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
