Ah! Just a Phase, not 11am! Now that's a DEEP CUT

Tyler! I sent your amps out from sweetwater yesterday. Left some extra candy and note. Rock on man!

When you played through these songs my eyes started tearing up. More than 20 years of emotion coming to a head i think. It brought me back to a time when i was really happy, jamming along with Incubus with my friends and having a great time at school and at home. It's been pretty rough since then and things haven't really worked out for me. But maybe it's a sign to try to find that happiness again.

During my tenure as guitarist for Rick Springfield, we re-recorded Jessies Girl for that very purpose of owning the master for that song. It was a lot of fun, capturing the tones of that musical era, and playing the song as close to the original as we possibly could.

I wish more bands would re-record their old stuff like that, especially when the original's production quality was pretty bad (he says, staring directly at Metallica's Kill 'em All)

Mike Einziger still has the smoothest playing I’ve ever seen. Glad they’re still at it, Morning View is a masterpiece worth revisiting given their evolution.

Cool video man. Mike was always a huge inspiration to me when I was growing up learning guitar. I remember impressing my friends learning all those songs. Every one of their albums has cool riffs all over it, really excited to hear these new versions!

I super dig this video. You're demonstrating a ton of different riffs for those that want to play along, showing your chops as a player in general, teaching things like harp harmonics, and being positive about a band you love. It's so common for people who love a band to kind of shun anything new they do, let alone rerecordings/reimaginings of old songs that have been laser cut into your brain at this point. In the video Rob Scallon did with Marcin, Marcin showed that he does harp/false harmonics with his pinky instead of thumb, which I believe is a more classical guitarist thing so you can continue to use your other fingers more freely to play other things at the same time. I've actually started doing this as well, because it means you can still hold a pick if you use your middle and pinky finger. When not holding a pick I actually use my index and ring instead of pinky. Whatever works!

Morning View is one of the albums in the soundtrack of my college years. I used to blast it in my dorm room. Can’t wait to hear the new version.

I was also in a Incubus cover band! More recently in 2019 though, honestly some of the most fun I've ever had was recreating these songs, especially 11am. I was the drummer though haha. I grew up idolizing Jose Pasillas so doing it full time was great! Our guitarist was adamant we covered the songs like these live versions and when he heard they were redoing this album as a "live" version he was talking about it nonstop for like a week haha.

I saw them live in 03 as my first show. then flash forward to now and my nephew got to see them as his first show

I’m a bit confused why no guitar influencers on KZfaq are covering Mark Knopflers new version of local hero?! It’s number 2 on UK iTunes chart right now, over 60 guitar legends play on it and it’s for a good cause, get the word around!!

Love this, love this band, love the idea of an album re-release! didn't know about it, but now I'm dialed in!!

The Screaming Jets *Australian Band* rerecorded their debut album ALL FOR ONE 2021.. to celebrate their 30th anniversary

Wow Morning View was an all time favorite album for me. Haven't listened to it in a while, but I am really excited to dive into this new re-recording!

Thrice re-recorded their most well-known album, The Artist In The Ambulance, though I’m not sure if it was an ownership issue rather than that they just really didn’t like the final mix on the original.

Thanks for letting me know about this re-recording!

You need to do a video on 311. Freeze Time probably has the best power chord stacking

Awesome timing, I just learned how to play Echo last night. Love that opening riff.

That kid makes me rethink ever picking up a guitar

I love how the album cover is the same place, just a more recent picture. Can’t wait to hear the rest of the songs

Awesome

He’s been playing a tele for a bit now. As a tele guy who hadn’t seen incubus in 20 years I was tickled to see him rockin it last year. It didn’t sound out of place on anything - Circles and Nice to Know You really make sense with it. Now if they busted out certain shade or new skin or something I think HBs would be needed to make it sound right. That solo on echo was definitely harp harmonics on the original. I’m kinda surprised he’s not still doing it but I guess the attack and chime of the SCs has nearly the same sonic effect.

You started playing Just A Phase and labeled it 11 AM. Just wanted to point it out. Keep rocking.

U2 and Sting did it too :)

My favourite band. I’ve been playing some of these songs for 20years. 😅. Our wedding song was Echo. Thanks Tyler, ✌🏼.

The singles of Echo and Circles on Spotify seem like they're really compressed. They sound overly rich and "wall of sound" with a layer of distortion over the whole recording that takes away from the detail and separation of the instruments and vocals. Do you hear the same thing? If so, gawd, I'd love to remix/master this to allow the recording to really breathe. Thanks for the breakdown of this! I've not listened to much Incubus in the past and will definitely do so now.

Man Incubus has to be one of my all time favourite bands, will definitely be listening to the remakes!

Jeff Lynne re-recorded many of his ELO hits on the album, “Mr. Blue Sky-The Very Best Of Electric Light Orchestra”, after Bev Bevan sold his part ownership of the ELO name to Jeff.

Morning View is such a good album, the guitar tones are great.

Incubus has been my favorite band for 20 years. Will you please do some "What Makes This Song Great" videos on them? I've asked Rick Beato several times and he has yet to make any.

Absolutely love Incubus. If I ever meet you, it's gonna have to come up. It's kinda funny but I fell in love with a lot of song when I was young, and played drums, and then I picked up a guitar later in life and somehow never thought to go back and learn those songs. I'm gonna have to give it a try.

Switchfoot re-recorded "The Beautiful Letdown" and it is awesome.

0:33 Humongous fungus amongus?

@ 11:46 "ridin that D". Tyler, we as guitarists have never recovered from breaking/bending/needning new g strings don't give them more ammo haha. C'mon!

Incubus is one of the all time best live performance bands. Really happy for bands to be able own their masters with these rerecords.

Incubus are such a great band. S.C.I.E.N.C.E. was a revelation. I wore out 4 - 5 CD’s of that album. Mike Einziger is a sonic architect. Such an underrated guitarist. And he plays hard. He really digs in when he’s playing. He’s been a huge inspiration on my songwriting and guitar playing.

Thrice rerecorded their 2003 album The Artist in the Ambulance last year. Not sure if it had anything to do with owning masters, etc, but it was very good. Cool to hear different tones, voices etc 20 years later.

Kenny Wayne Shepherd re-recorded Trouble Is. That pretty great too!

damn bro your so good playing electric guitar, I hope i have electric guitar too but i dont have money to buy one lmao btw I play acoustic guitar since I was on 7th grade I am college now still playing acoustic everyday

The only recording of me playing guitar on the internet is me and some buddies in a music shed, fucked up, playing incubuses drive lol it’s hilarious to listen to.

Oh man. One of my top albums, no doubt

Blondie and Suzanne Vega have both re-recorded a lot of their back catalogue. Heart too.

Tool's re-recording of the song Opiate is amazing. I wish they would re-do the whole album that way

That stacked power chord looks familiar, Alex Lifeson used it all the time. It's like a sus2 with a fifth on the bottom. Even that open string riff sounded Lifeson-esque.

Easily my all time favorite album.

That Circles riff kicks in sounding like Tom Morello tone. Tele neck pickup sound but has some beef. Nice.

No clickbait needed as I watch all his videos, but I'm pretty sure the title changed in the meantime reading these comments lol.

Squeeze rerecorded their hits on the album Spot the Difference back in 2010 well before Swift. Check out some of Glen Tilbrooks solos on the album. A highly underrated guitarist

Mike is playing Tele’s now

It's always funny to me how often I've seen and experienced live reactions from one of my favorite bands since 2012, and the name Incubus comes up so often!!! We're talking about the band: Jinjer I really need to listen a lot more to all the Incubus albums and see how strong the influence was for the guys from Jinjer Roman & Eugene on guitar and bass....

11am riff is stellar too tho. It's my favorite song on the best incubus album

I would've clicked play faster if i knew it was about the new incubus tracks.

Man I love Incubus

King Crimson re-recording Discipline, Beat, and another one with Adrian Belew, Danny Carey, Tony Levin and Steve Vai.

Love to see new twists on great old classics.

It's incredible that an album that was recorded entirely live was re-imagined in an even MORE raw and gritty fashion. I am so excited to experience this live this summer! Mike has been playing a 52 tele for the past 5-6 years.

Switchfoot recently re-recorded The Beautiful Letdown album, check out Meant to Live

Nice to see fanboy! With love. Great job thanks!

Tyler, thank you for reintroducing me to a band I have not listened to in a very long time. That was a real treat!

Incubus know it all here- the “deep cut” at 1:43 is “just a phase”, not 11am

Wheatus have just done this. They re-recorded Teenage Dirtbag and have just put out the first album as a record too.

i believe he uses custom made teles with his mesa. and he's mostly on the neck pickup. saw them live last summer

Hey man, could you do a vid on Lamb of God? Willie writes some of/if not the best riffs and would be interesting to hear your take on the composition. Thank you.

How you liking my hometown Nashville? Interesting, I was just diving back into Incubus before I watched this.

Suzanne Vega was the first artist I heard of having done it.

Def Leppard tried re recording some of their hits back in 2012. People seemed to prefer the original versions.

didnt def lepard recorded every album again because they didnt get rights to their own music, because of some manager thingy?

Tyler, have you see Mark Knopflers new charity single? Pretty cool to hear all those legends on one track playing together

Wheatus and Phantom Planet have re-recorded albums

Prince did that. If my memory selfs.

Def Leppard re-recorded three of their biggest hits, "Pour Some Sugar On Me," "Rock of Ages" and "Hysteria," in 2012-13 as a response to what they considered to be unfair compensation from their label.

Great content...

I love echo and 11am the most

Q: Did Taylor Swift just change Rock music? A: No.

Wheatus rerecorded their first album a few years ago

If only John Fogerty had thought to do this in the 70s he wouldn't have had to go through hell with the CCR catalog. (But he owns the masters now so I guess all is good.)

I know that Gordon Lightfoot re-recorded his songs from the ‘60s to match his modern ‘70s sound when Gord’s Gold was released. I don’t know if any song ownership was involved. But given the history of labels, producers, executives, etc. outright stealing money from the artists who actually wrote and created the music, I certainly understand what TS is doing. And I applaud her business sense.

Science and Fungus Amungus were way more better than the commercial Morning View. You could tell on this one the pressure of the Discography. Still, a pretty good damn album. But I've got better news over a coming remake: Steve Vai, Andrew Belew, Toni Levin and Dany Carey are working on 80's King Crimson stuff. Fripp has approved.

Def Leppard was the one I remember re-recording their stuff

Suicidal Tendencies re-recorded their 1st album. "Still Psycho After All These Years."

Metallica did something similar. I don't think they re-recorded anything. I think they flat out bought all their music back from the labels that had it. They set up Blackened as their own label and own all their music now. I think they did this way back right before St Anger came out.

Def Leppard re-recorded tracks in 2012 as their original contract at that point wouldn’t let them have them on Spotify. Paradise lost re-recorded Icon last year as their old label wanted silly money for them to get the rights for a vinyl release.

Great White did a lot of re-recordings too.

Danos can cut through diamonds.

This video will either be one of the best takes i’ve heard or the worst

Bowling for Soup also have re-recorded their songs into a BFS version

Man, I almost didn’t watch this because I thought it was just gonna be some commentary on Taylor Swift. But this was a great run down on an epic album! Gotta throw in some reference to the band in the title so no one misses out in this one.

I can give you a list of bands that have re-recorded past albums. Dokken, Stryper, U2,.....

I grew up on incubus, so glad theyre still making music

I believe Mike is using telecasters these days. The originals were made with a prs hollow body. He also went back to using his Mesa tremoverbs.

The pop artist Jojo was the 1st notable artist to do it in 2018 to get out of a recording contract with a company that lost their distribution deal but refused to let her go.

Bought a sparkly pink gibson les paul custom last year because taylor used a red one! They need to make a signature for her 💅

Incubus is great for sure!

Yes! I do hear it and like it :o)

Lots of bands have done this like exodus have done several albums before anyone knew Taylor swift.

Wow, Taylor Swift re-records Incubus music! I have new found respect for her! Music truly IS win!

Ozzy rerecorded the drums and bass parts of Diary and Blizzard over copyright claims in 2002.

There's a Christian metal band called War of Ages that re-recorded their first album (which was self-titled) as their third album (named "Fire From the Tomb"). "Fire From the Tomb" had an additional song ("The Awakening") which was also re-recorded on their next album. The re-recorded songs sound a lot better in terms of quality and production, but there is a level of passion on the original recordings that the newer versions lack. They had the same lead guitarist, but a different rhythm guitarist and they just changed some things that didn't need to be changed. The original rhythm guitarist was more aggressive and did a lot of palm-muted Tremelo picking, whereas the newer guitarist was more melodic (there's nothing wrong with that, but when something is different from what you fell in love with, you tend to prefer the original). They did add a guitar solo to one of my favorite songs on the album, "Battle On." It's a simple solo, but it sounds great.

Does Taylor Swift use clickbait? Will be the title of my next video 😂
