Incubus

Unread post by Speenis » Sat Feb 01, 2003 7:18 pm

Incubus has some real cool acoustic versions of some of their songs:

Drive
Summer Love (Anti-gravity love song)
A Certain Shade of Green
The Warmth
Pardon Me
Make Yourself
Mexico

If you have KaZaA, make sure you search for Acoustic versions of those songs. All sweet songs, especially certain shade of green. It's acoustic version sounds so cool and jazzy sort of. Summer Love has some funky riffs in it too. Drive is an obvious one because its studio version is acoustic and it was a single. They are all real sweet songs, so if anyone is bored, dl any one of these songs and listen to it, then go to http://www.mxtabs.net and find tabs for them.

Just a Phase and The General are both sweet. I can't believe I forgot JAP in my last post, thats one of the only songs I have been playing the last few weeks.
