seeking bitchin frontman with long hair a la Sebastian Bach."

Q: What was the coolest show you played at ozzfest?
Brandon: Ohio. Where the plane landed during our set.
Kilmore: There was a plane that landed right in the middle of

Haven't you heard?

Q: Who was the guy you talked to on Enjoy Incubus, the one speaking
in tongues?
Mike: It was the devil.
Brandon: By our definition, he was the devil. He was. And I apologize
to anyone on the chat who's a born-again Christian who has no teeth
and he basically thought that because we didn't share his beliefs that
WE were the devil and we would burn in hell very soon. So he started
speaking in tongues to me to demonstrate his connection to God, and
little did he know I am schooled in gibberish.

separate careers during their much needed break
Dirk Lance: Ultimately, the only
thing that matters is, is there integrity in your music? Are
you really proud of what you do? The fact that you have bitchin'
abs is completely irrelevant.
Brandon Boyd: Are you saying I have bitchin' abs?
Einziger: I think we should kick Brandon out of the band
and get some really big, fat, ugly guy. Then the critics will
like us.
