.:WHO IS DJ LYFE???:.
DJ Lyfe A.K.A. Gavin Koppel is Incubus' original DJ.
.:What happened to him? Why'd they replace him with DJ Kilmore?:.
The band voted him out because they felt that he wasnt as committed to the band like thes rest of them. With him there, it no longer felt like a family. He even boycotted a show in Germany so that was the last straw. He now goes by Dj Lyfe.
.:WHAT KIND OF GUITAR DOES MIKEY USE???:.
For the making of Enjoy Incubus, Mike used an Ibanez RG570. When he finally got cash from the record company, he bought a Paul Reed Smith guitar which he used for the making of S.C.I.E.N.C.E. Mike is very fortunate to now have custom colored PRS guitars made for him. The 3 that he takes on tour are a silver colored one, a black one he tunes down for the drop D songs, and a natural colored PRS with 2-F holes in it for the acoustic style stuff.
.:WHAT KIND OF CRAZY CRAP IS IN THE SECRET TRACK ON S.C.I.E.N.C.E.?????:.
This track is full of a lot of silly stuff. Gavin (DJ Lyfe) almost erased one of the songs while filming. Some of the noises are beats, bass, guitar, etc. The man who starts off the song by talking about weird medical symptons, that my friends is none other than Mike's dad. You can ever hear a loop of an old arcade game being played. It's pretty dope because it even has a short skit entitled "The Karate Kid". The title for this secret track is, "Jose Loves Kate Moss Part 1."
.:WHAT ETHNICITY ARE THE GUYS???:.
Brandon is of Indian descent, Aztec indian descent. He also has some Mexican in him. I've also heard that he has some Scottish, but I'll never know for sure. Jose is Hispanic. Mike is Jewish. Chris is African-American. And as for Alex, i have no freaken clue, sorry
.:WHY DID BRANDON CUT HIS DREADS OFF???:.
Brandon basically chopped them off because he felt that many bands are associated with the singer and his hairstyle and appearance. He did it one night with his bro Jason. He got drunk so he decided that he had to cut 'em off that night.
.:WHY DID MIKEY CUT OFF HIS DREADS???:.
Mike felt the need for a change, he doesnt want to be defined by his hair, but by his talent. Well dreads or afro, he's still an awesome guitarist.
.:WHAT HAPPENED TO JOSE'S EMO GLASSES???:.
He had corrective laser eye surgery. Either way he looks hot, but now his emo glasses are no more. He also got rid of his labret (under lip) piercing.
.:ARE BRANDON AND JO STILL TOGETHER?:.
They are definitely not, but are still good friends. Brandon doesnt really like going back and talking about the relationship. In an interview, he compared it to when you blow your nose, and then you leave the boogery tissue there...if you go back to it, its gonna be all icky and gooey. (Haha those were not his exact words.)
.:IS BRANDON WITH ANOTHER PERSON RIGHT NOW?:.
This I do not know. For a while I heard he was with Lisa Snowdon. And now I hear he's with some other model chick, Carolyn(sp) Murphy. But in an interview done in Circus Magazine, a few months ago, he stated that he was single and that it felt good having some time to himself since for the past 10 years, he's been permanently stuck in relationships.

.:WHAT IS THE THEORY BEHIND THE INFAMOUS NUMBER "10:24" IN THE WARNING VIDEO?:.
There's more than on theory, the most reliable one is that 10:24 is the predicted time that the world will end, on Dec. 21, 2012 according to an ancient Mayan belief.
Other theories are:
-If you write 1024 backwards, you get 420 (if you take off the 1) or take out the zero to make 421 (Trouble in 421)
- Take 10x2=20, put 1 and 2 together=12, put together 20 and 12, you get 2012 (from A Certain Shade of Green)
- Morning View came out on 10/23 (October 23) so perhaps they're talking about the day after 10/24.
