Early life

[edit]

I just did some cleanup around the Early Life section. The citations could be improved. A deleted anecdote appeared to be copied directly from the source, and was not really notable or verifiable. The remaining citations are either broken, or don't really backup the assertions about Boyd's youth RyanSc0ttt (talk) 20:21, 2 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]

what religion is brandon boyd...

[edit]

so i've read white fluffy clouds and looked at his pictures and ive realized he practices lucid dreaming.. but what exactly does he support when he says hes learning more towards Goddess, rather than God. I know he believes in peace and serenity, just like i do too.. but what is this goddess and god dealie... fill me in:) please?

I don't think he has a definite religion, but rather a feeling of spirituality. If you read the lyrics for / listen to Damnation, you can see he considers the other religions, and what it means for him to sin, whether the way he lives... who he is, whether it's dooming him.

damnation kind of explains it but im still confushed by this maybe i just dont understand it at all... or maybe he is just god himself and everyone should worship him haha kid i kid.. but seriously if anyone knows anything else about his sense of spirituality/religion, be a babe and let me know because i've been dieing to know for so long... has anyone of you practiced lucid dreaming?

Graduation

[edit]

I just want to check on something here, the article says he was born in 1976 and graduated from highschool in 2005? (ie, he graduated at age 29), can someone check this?

They probably just meant 1995...

Brandon on drugs?

[edit]

I am a fairly new Incubus fan, and I know little of Brandon Boyd. But the lyrics to drive seem to be redeeming from a drug addiction perhaps? so does anyone know the meaning behind those lyrics? or a link where I can read more about him?

He used to smoke a lot of cannabis, but i don't know if he had any serious addiction

Obviously he used to eat shrooms and acid i meen look at fungus amongus as well as magic medicin from science

Brandon himself has said that Drive is about being controlled by fear, about letting fear have a say so in our decisions. It's not about drugs or kicking off a drug addiction. -Kira —Preceding unsigned comment added by 75.63.154.61 (talk) 21:30, 28 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

That sounds about right. MOLLIEY (talk) 06:24, 5 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Usefulness of Personal Biography / "What this is supposed to be"

[edit]
Ok, may I ask what this is supposed to be? Anyway, I'm having the feeling that someone might have copied some text from somewhere else, and I'm not talking about Brandon's personal bio. I'm not even sure if that's supposed to be here. -- Riffsyphon1024 01:53, 20 Feb 2005 (UTC)
I think the personal bio should not be here. Personal bios aren't the most encyclopaediac references around. P 10:02, 15 September 2005 (UTC)[reply]
I enjoy referring to personal bios on Wikipedia. That's the great thing about this website, I can type in my favorite artist and get results. Incubus has been the most influential band I’ve ever come across. Any time I hear Brandon Boyd’s voice on the radio my heart skips a beat, as gay as that sounds. I can’t help it. I love the screaming, I love the lyrics, I love their music. I am also going to say that I am as superficially in love with Brandon as he is with the models he dates. There’s nothing wrong with that. So let’s celebrate Brandon’s page! There’s nothing better than more Incubus on the net. ~Krissy

Rant by "someone with a brain for Brandon"

[edit]

I believe that if I were Brandon Boyd, a unremarkably talented musician/artist, I would be greatly flattered by the effect I give on teenage girls/early twenties. But I am not Brandon Boyd, so I have my own look on things. In my eyes Incubus, the band in itself, is very talented and definitely on of the best in its kind. But I know as most girls do in the world, guy don't get into your heart by telling you how hot you are. I believe if you truly want to make an impression on any one that you enamered of that you should not be so superficial. Brandon Boyd, I believe that you will never lay eyes on this article, but reality is a bitch. So I would like to Conclude that I greatly respect and admire you for all your accomplishments and hard work, it seems like it would be such a great thing to experience. I'm not going to deny myself of the self-satisfaction of letting anyone who reads this to know that even though "we're" quick to judge there is so much more to know about each individual that we let ourselves discover and I for one want to change that. Shout out to Brandon Boyd: thanks for all the heart racing music and lyrics if you were not so untouchable you would be my choice of mate. You got the style and I think it's original, but just keep on making music and being yourself and I will keep on being a die-hard fan!! Like it says on your latest album(A Crow Left of the Murder)You couldn't have done it without the support(and love)of your fans. I appreciate the music and I appreciate that the band has a unique glee to it! LOVE&PEACE, Someone with a brain for Brandon.


Is this really the place for that sort of thing? —Preceding unsigned comment added by Jorgen64 (talk • contribs) 04:00, 12 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]

You never know... MOLLIEY (talk) 06:27, 5 August 2018 (UTC)he might've seen this! :)[reply]
