i just saw a clip on TV and the guy was actually emotionally screaming the lyric "I'm meeeltiiiing".


Then later they interviewed the band and all the other members were discussing how the singer is a tortured genius with deep emotional issues.
WTF? Is this a joke.

haha.

well i know this can be sort of rude to talk about.. but we had poetry day the other day. this sophomore or something read this awful poem he wrote about his friend who killed himself. i felt bad for saying it was awful but it went somehting like "we're shedding tears and overcoming fears, youre having a ball and we're breaking down walls, it's too bad your dead at communion i ate bread"

i don't know. everyone was supposed to at sympathetic and sad and say how great and profound the poem was but i was thinking "what the fuck" do the dead kid a favor and not write a poem about him if it's going to suck.

not to be insincere or anything.
god i hope nobody at my school reads this. oh well. 2 months until i graduate anyways.

this entire post pertains to the tortured genius shit. if you have to say youre a tortured genius.. i don't know. you deserve a tigers paw shoved down your throat.

i always get this in my poetry class, girls writing poems about their boyfriends and vice versa and suicide and death and grandma's got cancer. I have to always pretend i've dropped something under the desk and have a (not so) quiet chuckle. Fucking idiots.

i'll admit i write something godawful poetry.
that's why i stopped.

tiger's paw? wtf either you need to listen to your classmates laughing at you more often, or you need to generally stfu.

This is not a band I'm fond of, as such. Not so much.

Yergh-gack, in fact.

There was once a Used song I liked. I don't remember which one it was.

I know way too many people who love the Used and consider them amazing. Ugh

Never heard the Used, but I just saw a Panic! At The Disco video for the first time and it made me want to simultaneously destroy my TV and start listening to jazz.

Death would be too kind.

I do not like the Used
they make my ears feel abused
tortured genius = too much booze
cocaine, pills, and hunting cooze

we're sorry you got dumped by Kelly Osbourne like 3 fucking years ago...if your soul is that tortured then you should probably off yourself.

agreed. that video is incredibly awful, and the song sure as hell doesnt help.

i was thinking something with sharp objects in it.
knives, arrows, glass. if you actually want to appear to have the authority to tell someone to shut the fuck up, then maybe you should stop using the internet lingo such as wtf and stfu so that you don't appear to be in middle school.
god i've always hated lolz and omgz and wtfs.

Didn't that guy used to date Kelly Osbourne? That may explain the "tortured" part.

I remember when I liked Taking Back Sunday, The Used first came into the public eye. And I was like "what the shit is this? It's the exact same thing." They even both had singles with the exact same lyrics.

I grew out of the TBS pretty quickly, but always resented the Used for their duplication skills.

i saw them open for andrew wk in 2003 and bert took a big swig of water and spit it into the crowd, my eye taking the brunt of it.

it was.... EYE.... opening.

just kidding.

i hate them.

I'm guessing the red-haired, dude, yes?

Used t-shirt:

Better Than Thrice

lol

As well as the "used" part.

And Radcliffe - you friggin' leave jazz outta this.

I don't like The Used, but Sound Effects and Over Dramatics (or something like that) is a pretty good song, not lyrically, I just like the music before the chorus... its all like boo boo doo booo boo beenoooo nooo beennooo dooo nooo nooo dooo doo.

Isn't his name Bert or Burt or something like that? I see kids all the time with Be/urt is my homeboy.

It may be my lack of sleep, but I just spent the last five minutes laughing at the guy to the far right.

Dude, didn't you know that Kelly O is a kingmaker? It's totally Kelly Osbourne = Courtney Love and shit.

My roommate just played me The Used and Panic! at the Disco the other day. I had no clue they were pop-punk/screamo/whatever. I just assumed Panic! was some retro 80s dance ripoff band. At least I wasn't missing anything

'fraid not.
