Took you long enough! One of my favorite singers

Brandon’s voice is the closest I’ve ever heard to a singer’s voice functioning as an actual instrument. When he harmonizes, it doesn’t even sound like a voice. Just wonderful sound that interplays with the instruments.

Every time I look for incubus I realise there are not many reactions , and I feel this band and singer are so underrated …. I love them ! They are so good and nice to listen to , every song is different , aqueous transmission gets me every single time , cause is simply gorgeous !

Honestly this guy has a really gloriously open and emotional voice that is so attractive and yet deeply strong. Chills . I have a feeling it is the passionate poetry of this band.

Brandon has been my favorite singer literally my entire life. His lyrics and voice just have always hit me so hard. But I can't sing so I try to learn all the Incubus I can on every other instrument I can lol.

I'm a HUGE incubus fan and this analysis makes me love them even more.

His precision and agility with those runs hitting every little note pitch perfect every time cannot be overstated takes a lot of talent. Also props to Mike, who’s beautiful high harmonies really drove their unique sound, also an incredible singer in his own right and an absolute master creating musical soundscapes with his composition.

I'm ALWAYS here for Brandon Boyd! Incubus is home for me.

Love Brandon’s voice and sick shaker skills

Brandon is one of the vocalists in a band who are not being so recognized with their great voices which are also evident when they're singing live. I went to see the band's concert this year and man, he still sounds amazing.

I've been waiting for Brandon to pop up here for so long! There's a live studio video of "If Not Now, When?" that you should absolutely check out as well with his full range on display.

I’m so glad you finally featured Brandon Boyd. He was/is such an influence on me and I sang along with those albums so many times to nail his tone and enunciation. He really was a breath of fresh air in the midst of post-grunge and nu-metal.

I find always interessting that especially when he raps or has more spoken lines, he sounds pretty similar to Anthony Kiedis from RHCP. Like both voices.

Gets me teary-eyed, big part of my childhood. Thanks :)

Brandon is an awesome vocalist. The album that really got me into Incubus was probably Light Grenades I remember hearing the song Anna Molly on the radio everywhere in the 2000's!

You look so happy doing this analizys incubus it's an amazing band thanks

Assertive and confident vocals.

Remember moving bar tables in a dive bar in Columbus OH to watch these guys after a show at the Newport music hall good times miss those days

Ive been waiting for so long thank you Chris!!!

Love your deep dive analysis. Its interesting and funny at the same time when you try to sing like Brandon. Please do more Incubus and Brandon Boyd! New subscriber here.

I’m not a singer but I really enjoyed this because I love, love Brandon’s voice 💜

Gonna watch this first day in the morning!

I have this DVD, love incubus ❤, the whole band is amazing and Brandon is such a great singer

The king of free verse

Nice! Big Incubus fan!

I literally went digging through your videos last week trying to find a How to Sing Like Brandon Boyd video. How did you know 😂

We had the same backpack for sure

One of the best ever

Wow he is so good 🔥

great singer

Drive by incubus is one of my favorite songs. Can you review that next?

Finally! So glad you analyzed him, Incubus are one of my favourite bands EVER (till Morning View, at least) and my vocal timbre has some similarities with Boyd's.

Thanks the whole albim is great 😊

It's been awhile since I've heard ANYONE discuss Incubus and Brandon. They're one of the bands that led me to fall in love with rock and metal and it's a trip to listen to their discography here

Also the 90s were such a great time to be alive as a teen😂 learning guitar in 1992 I already had my mom and aunts sharing classic rock with me so I was learning thunderstruck and the black crows and gnr , then I had the early 90s to also learn. But the feeling of driving around and hearing a new song on the radio like The Toadies Possum Kingdom and getting home to immediately pick up my guitar and try to learn it😊 every other day there was another new song to learn. I can't find the words to describe that feeling of excitement we had being exposed to all that great music coming at us. I haven't had that excitement for new music since but I think I'll be stuck with it till the day I die❤

Listening to Incubus earlier today, this is a godsend

Great video. Brandon is just amazing. When you said 'let's figure out what makes them tick', I was wondering if you have a video on Ian Kenny from Karnivool. (Sorry, quite new as a viewer, so I haven't checked it all yet) He's in my top 5, so I'd be really interested in breaking his singing down.

Olá, Chris Liepe como sempre suas reações são muito incríveis, vim pra falar que o Gabriel Henrique acabou de colocar um vídeo no seu cana, uma apresentação ao vivo com uma orquestra na Romania esta uma obra-prima, mesmo ele estando por 3 dias com febre e uma severa inflamação na garganta que teve que se hospitalizar e so um dia antes se sentiu um pouco melhor, msis no dia fez sua apresentação, veja o que ele foi capaz de fazer após tudo isso.

It's hard for me who has heard MORNING VIEW 1000x and seen them live in concert to accept this XXIII version. SMH. But Live Brandon Boyd is amazing. How he holds the mic is mesmerizing and stretches his vocals makes me happy!

Reacts to Gabriel Henrique and Iza Vitória singing "Run to you" on Shadow Brasil. Flawless and exciting duet!

11:25 that G# over a natural A, just haunts me everytime I listen to it

❤

I’m pretty sure the DJ drops some BVs via the turntables in the chorus. Genius!

Could you imagine ren doing a cover of an incubus song? His voice would be so perfect for it 😊💜💜

Hi Chris. You 're videos have been inspiring me to be intentional with my voice for years and Brandon Boyd is definitely in my top 5 singers of all time, thank you so much for this great video! I've noticed Brandon open his mouth extremely wide. Do you think that's to create an effect or a result of simply being relaxed and letting the sound project more? P.S. Incubus are releasing a newly recorded 'reimaging' on Morning View. I can't wait to hear Aqeuous Transmission!

I always wondered what happened to his voice after If Not Now, When? It made me so sad when I listened live how he struggled to hit those high notes :(

Kaneko Ayano's Shukujitsu is a great song to analyze, It'd be amazing seeing you react to her voice. And you'd probably be the first Big vocal coach channel to analyze her vocals.

Chris, an episode on the vocal tecnique of JOE TALBOT from the band IDLES could be interesting.

Comment for da algorithm Streak count: 309 Merry Christmas! Heck yeah incubus!

Seen Incubus countless times, last time I saw them was back when they were touring with Linkin Park. RIP Brandon's voice started dipping after that point and had already peaked. Still one of my favorite bands of all time though.

Chris! You should revisit Tyler Joseph once more maybe going over some of his live vocals!

This is awesome! You need to check out Alter Bridge (Pawns And Kings) that singer is Cornell (ish)

Incubus is one of those bands that should have been bigger because they were so talented and honestly When the original bass player Ieft 2002 i wanna say the band has not been the same and their music changed

I'm not sure I understood your explanation of the vowel slant on the high note? It would actually be more difficult to sing a more open vowel at a higher pitch, so it definitely isn't *because* of ease of articulation on a high note that he's choosing to open the vowel.

This song was a song I was upset with when I was in a 3 year long distance relationship

I would love to see your reaction of fire by queen bee (the first take version)

Please do Anna Molly next ! Best Incubus song

I'd love to hear you analyze Masato David Hayakawa from coldrain who is really vocally influenced by Brandon Boyd and Chester Bennington! Their song Mayday would be a great place to start from: Studio: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-PzaW0E7uRwc.html Live: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-zWIY7V7-Ou0.html

Please analize Jann-Gladiator

Morning View Sessions. This whole performance is incredible. Great pick!

Boyd had great range. I'm a bass but I struggle to hit some of the notes he can hit and I certainly can't hit his highs.

Hey Chris, can you check out Paolo Nutini?

the commentator and drummer looks similar

Fun fact Brandon has stage fright which his eyes are always closed

With respect, if you think Brandon's vocals are always clean, then you haven't truly listened to a single album right through.

Brandon has not aged well. I would like to see The Warmth or Pardon Me analyzed next.
