Who is this DJ Lyfe guy I keep reading about?
Well, DJ Lyfe (A.K.A Gavin Koppel) is Incubus' original DJ. He was a part of the band for two years, then Incubus kicked him out, due to certain issues, and replaced him with Chris Kilmore.
What kind of guitar does Mike use?
For the recording of Enjoy Incubus, he used an Ibanez RG570. Then he finally got some cash form the record company and bought a Paul Reed Smith guitar for the recording of S.C.I.E.N.C.E . He now has custom colored PRS guitars made for him. He takes three with him on tour. One silver colored one, one black one he tunes down for the drop D songs, and a natural colored PRS with two F-holes in it for the acoustic style stuff.
What are the Incubus albums "Beyond the Unknown" and "Serpent Temptation"???
Well, there is actually another Incubus out there. This is death metal, and in our opinion, not very good. There are alot of people out there trying to sell this as a rare 'Incubus' cd, so be careful. Just make sure you check the discography pages before you buy anything. We have also heard rumors that there may be even a third 'Incubus' out there. But, OUR 'Incubus' has the rights to the name, so no worries folks, there will not be a name change anytime soon.
Have the members appeared on other bands' songs?
Brandon - Jimmies Chicken Shack - Slow Change
Mike - Hoobustank - Show me your Titz

When Incubus guitarist Mike Einziger was 17 in 1994 he tried out for Alanis Morissette's band. Needless to say he didn't get the part but he did comment about it, "I actually auditioned for Alanis' band when I was like 17, before she got really big. I was just like, Oh, this girl singing these songs . . . and then a few months later it was on the radio, and I was like, What? Damn, I should've tried harder!"
