This question is solely to pacify my own curiosity here, "What caused the (infamous?) guitar throw and follow up push of the guitar cabs in Manilla during Megalomaniac. I have my own theory but I really was just curious because you seem like a pretty mellow guy and you went into BLOODLUST MODE. +100 attack. Personally it was pretty awesome to watch how the rest of the band reacted.

Thanks for entertaining the question. I am a big fan and fellow guitarist. Your music has helped me become a better player.

I read in an interview that you recorded parts of INNW on a Fender SQUIRE Classic VIbe thinline tele. This is incredible to me that what is often thought of as a cheap guitar was used during recording. As a professional musician you have access to whatever guitar you want, why the squire? What about it worked for you?

What do you think about an idea of making a informal Incubus biography book?
Do you think it's a good idea to begin with?

Your style is amazing, it's very unique and awe-inspiring! The ´´Movement of the Odyssey´´ that appeared on the Halo 2 soundtrack in particular. Are you guys ever planning on doing something similar like that?

As an aspiring guitarist that is a huge fan, I was wondering what sort of tips you may have along the lines of theory or other aspects of the guitar that help you in the song writing process?
Many thanks for the great music you guys have been releasing since I was a child, enjoy the 1rst HQ Anniversary and keep on keeping on!

much have been said lately about the music composition process, would you say INCUBUS is a DEMOCRACY? in terms of how the rest of the band members affect the final product. For many, this last record sounds more like a mike and brandon collaboration, I love this last record, but It would be cool if you could comment on how jose, ben and kil participate in the process of creating music.
