Hi Mike!

I'm in love with Incubus since high school and now I'm done with college. My Question is, what would be the greatest influence in your music and what inspires you the most?

Hi Mike, I wanna ask you something. Does carpal tunnel syndrome have some sort of effects for you aside from disabling you from playing guitar for a while? If it does, what is it? I suffer from the same pain and I wonder how do you cope with that. Thanks. I hope all is well.

Hi Mike! I hope you're doing no less than awesome.

I'd like to know how you reason when choosing your different guitars for different Incubus songs. I know the CTS is a big factor and that you're looking for comfortable guitars.
I guess what I'd like to know, is what do you love the most about your current Albert Lee Ernie Ball guitars, the Jazzmaster, your Telecasters and your SG - and what makes you pick a certain one for a certain Incubus song?

Also, if you had to pick a maximum of 8 guitar pedals to go on a gig with, which 8 would you choose? I was gonna let you choose 5, but then I realised that it would be really, really hard.

Thanks, and keep on rocking. Regards from Sweden. Gonna catch you guys in Amsterdam July 10th :)

Hey Mike! How are ya? Quick question - where can we find the music you've done outside of incubus? Like for "Bastard"?

It's been said not to bring up politics or religion in a social setting but, whatever: What are you thoughts on God? How do these thoughts affect your music/art?

Hey, Mike. Thank you (and all the other guys too) for doing this live webcast! My question is about your interest in physics and evolutionary biology. Can you give us any insights from your studies at Harvard (I understand that you dabbled in these subjects while studying music). Also, what can we do to get younger generations more interested in fields like these? As a current medical student, I'm looking forward to what you have to say. Thanks, and keep rocking!
