During his time with Incubus, Alex went mostly unrecognised (as seen in MTV's Diary of Incubus), however he nevertheless proved to be a major driving force behind the band. Mike Einziger and Jose Pasillas could be considered the thrash and metal elements in the band, whilst Alex was undeniably channelling the funk and jazz elements. He also wrote infectious and very respected basslines, particularly in songs like Sink Beneath the Line, Deep Inside, Are You In?, The Warmth, Battlestar Scratchlactica, Nice to Know You, and Speak Free. Alex has been particularly noted for his fast slap-mute technique, as can be heard on his bass solos in the songs Redefine and Sink Beneath the Line. His electric style of playing onstage has also earned him credit with positive rock counterparts 311 and other industry heavyweights.After twelve years with Incubus, Alex decided to leave the band. There are numerous speculations as to why this happened. One major explanation is that he fought with bandmates (especially singer Brandon Boyd) over the creative aspect of the band; it is known that for a very large part of his stay, Alex was practically the main creative contributor. Probably another factor of his departure was that he was known for his temperamental and stubborn personality, which caused many arguments in the process of writing A Crow Left of the Murder. Regardless, with his departure, Incubus' music continues to evolve although Alex's absence is noticeable in such things as Mike Einzinger's highly increased creative input and more complex guitar parts. It has been cited that it was due to the fact that Alex wanted time off of the road for his girlfriend and recent wife.
P.S. Hey there. Just thought you might like to know about a new band that Alex is playing in. It's called Willie's Nerve Clinic. I play drums and Chuck Smith plays guitar. We're going to be recording soon so keep your eyes out for that. We'll be playing around the LA area too. A myspace and website should be up shortly. Take care - Aaron
