Just saw The Used at taste of chaos, and they are pretty much the leaders in a dying genre. i think they are pretty good, but people are over them and that style of music. tons of people where i live are listening to old CD’s from Linkin Park, POD, and more, because everything new sounds the same……and the little bit that is original, is crap. sad but true.

I once got a gold star in Kindergarten for not peeing my pants….
who cares….
all these 30 seconds to a chemicaly used romance bands are going down like a hooker on Friday night street corner…..
sales are sales…….numbers are numbers
right …isnt that what an A&R guys says, whats the numbers…they just do NOT add up to the investment thier respective labels are making…
If I spent a million dollars marketing something it BETTER sell 200,000 copies, otherwise its bad business

The Used track - totally a MCR bid. The chord progressions in the choruses? Heard em a thousand times.

The Used played arenas as part of the latest Taste of Chaos tour, albeit a package tour with many more popular bands that bring in all the kids from around the city they visit. But they did!

I think the new kaiser album takes some time to get into. i didn’t really like as much as employment, but then the more i listened to it, the more i liked it.

KOAR loves the single “Ruby” as well. Not supringsly, its the highest charting single they had, reaching £1 on the UK charts. To bad the rest of the album doesnt add up.

Regardless, the track is GREAT.

and yes, we really like the USED, but they are a commerical dissapointment. Don’t think the USED can write the songs that will take them to next level into arenas. But they do put on an intensive live show.

I’m convinced The Used want to emulate My Chemical Romance’s dramatic effect and Panic! At the Disco’s strings in the song. Not that any of these bands were the first to incorporate these musical elements but The Used knows their competition and is thinking “when you can’t beat em, join em.”

Love the single “Ruby” from Kaiser Chiefs but I figured the rest of the songs on the album wouldn’t have an impact on me. Been a long time since I bought a sraight up rock n’ roll album that hit the charts.
