The Used Band Members: # Bert McCracken # Jeph Howard # Branden Steineckert # Quinn Allman The Used Gets Their Start The Used formed in Orem, Utah. Drummer Branden Steineckert was the person who got everyone together to make music. The area is known for its large Mormon population, not for its incredible punk rock scene, so The Used had a lot of trouble finding venues that would let them play. The Used's luck changed when they were signed to Reprise Records. The Used's hit songs include A Box Full of Sharp Objects, The Taste of Ink. The Used - Did U Know? # Bert McCracken's parents kicked him out of the house because he rebelled against his Mormon upbringing. # Before being discovered by Reprise Records, The Used survived on the streets by pan-handling (beggi More...

This song and 'Smother Me' are fabulous. Check it out if you havnt heard it :] Best song Live. | Reviewer: Melissa ------ About the song I Caught Fire performed by The Used I saw The Used live last night, they were so amazing. When they played this song, it was the best, especially since i was there with my boyfriend. It was such a special moment, and will always remember "I Caught Fire" :) The Used Cheated | Reviewer: amy ------ About the song Maybe Memories performed by The Used As much love as i have for the band, i need to call them out for something. They stole this song from REFUSED - NEW NOISE. Listen to the two songs. They are the same. Refused was made before The used had this song out.. makes me sad. This will clear it up. | Reviewer: Jesse ------ About the song I'm A Fake performed by The Used Yes, songs should be interpreted how YOU would like to interpret them, but I met Bert once, after a concert, YES IT WAS AMAZING!!!!! lol, But I told him how this song reminded me of my mothers addiction and he said that that was exactly what it was about, because he struggles with alcoholism himself, He is constantly getting sober and relapsing(He didn't mention that specifically, but I knew that from being a fan) It was a song he wrote about being sober, feeling "dry," and how wrong it felt. As it usually does with alcoholics. Haha | Reviewer: JjToXiC ------ About the song Yesterday's Feelings performed by The Used I agree. Its not about drugs, its about living for today and just letting go of all the things in the past or at least trying to. I mean he pretty much says it "Close my eyes and move to the back of my mind, where worries are washed out to sea." Hes trying to let go and put it all behind him. The Used means alot to me. | Reviewer: Caitlin Spencer ------ About the song Poetic Tragedy performed by The Used The Used just by their self means so much to me. But this one specific song is so improtant to my life. My sister age of 17 who passed away last February and, she was a huge fan of The Used. And this song was played at her funeral... Straight to the heart. | Reviewer: Kimberly. ------ About the song Blue And Yellow performed by The Used I've had friends listen to this song and it's so touching, and it goes straight to the heart. It makes even the strongest of my friends cry [guys and girls]. I know exactly how it is to want to be with someone all the time, though it's virtually impossible. It's an amazing song. I love it. Eddie | Reviewer: Anonymous ------ About the song The Bird And The Worm performed by The Used I don't know if anyone will actually read this post, but this song is so good, it's the next song I'm using for a new RSMV. It came out over 2 years ago, but even so, I want to make a video of this song. Hopefully no one will have done this song yet; and I have the honour of doing it first. It'll be on sooner or later. :] | Reviewer: Mmmmiaa:] ------ About the song Pretty Handsome Awkward performed by The Used Heyyy; i lovve this song, though i personaly dont like Bert:/ But this song is aboud Gerard and i love himm:) but if your a Gerard fan and knot a Bert fan I wish you would stop listening to the lyrics and there meanings and just listen to this greatt song:] Plain and simple | Reviewer: drew ------ About the song Sound Effects And Overdramatics performed by The Used the meaning of this song is taken from many of the coments already posted. It is a sum up of Berts sex life with his former (deceased) girlfriend. the color blue that is mentioned does refer to the blue in a positive pregnancy test. also the lyrics " make a circle square, a rectangle curve" is also referring to a certain type of pregnancy test that shows a blue circle when positive and a blue rectangle when negative. it is like he is trying to stretch the cirlce into a rectangle or a rectangle curved. "when I mentioned blue, all you thought was color", refers to the fact that when he tried to get his girlfriend off drugs because of her pregnancy she didnt care "all she saw was a color not a baby". this is proven by "when you mention drugs, all I thought was sober", she wanted drugs and he wanted her to be sober. here is the tricky part, when it refers to taking off the pants and turning you over when you mention blue. it means that he is changing ( like a pair of pants) and turning you over refers to a new leaf, turning over a new leaf when you mention blue (preganancy. Kill/ smile refers to the mixed emotions whether to be happy, sad or cut out the baby. (cut it out this time). the mask aligned means hiding the baby and the fact of pregnancy and drug use. when it talks about switching places, room racing breathing racing etc it refers to the confusion he felt and utter panic after finding out and how he is trying to deal with it. spill the filled up canister refers to her belly. her belly is the canister filled with the baby. spilling it refers to the cut it out reference. song and lyrics are amazing and speratic. hope this helps Lyrics | Reviewer: Jake ------ About the song All That I've Got performed by The Used Lyrics are poetry. Poetry with music. Now with any poetry, the writer has something specific in mind, however, he knows that the person reading it will most likely get something completely different out of it. This is the same with music. the writer knows that people will interprit things differently based on they're specific life situations. The human brain automatically links something heard or seen to something it already knows. So, with music, your brain places the lyrics to your situation. This is what the artist is aiming for, to cause the brain to register emotion, and decifer what the sounds and lyrics are trying to get across. Therefore, although you may know what the artist had in mind while writing this (which i highly doubt you do becaouse what artist would give that away?)it may not be what another person gets out of it. This song, is of loss,of pain, of being "hit" so hard, you dont know what has happened, and so, you attempt to make it better. Thats what i get out of it. i relate | Reviewer: Dean.. ------ About the song Dark Days performed by The Used Hey i know what you mean, i was that guy once. you shouldn't worry about him. i done that to a girl, eventually i went back to her, we had an amazing relationship and i have never loved someone like that before, so much. we went through alot of shit, we havent talked in months, i cant even sleep sometimes, i love her so much still. i sucked when she left me, you don't want a story like mine. let him go, trust me... hmm.. | Reviewer: Anonymous ------ About the song Sound Effects And Overdramatics performed by The Used So i have to agree with the sex and pregnancy meaning behind this song.. and just wanna point out: Keep the mask aligned (condom) Get it up in time (u know, IT.) There's a space between valleys (u know, the girl's IT.) And try catch a vibe (aka motion in the ocean) agree? <3 | Reviewer: mac ------ About the song Lunacy Fringe performed by The Used i love it how music is interpreted differently through different people, like how it can just make you feel alot of emotions and makes you feel like your not alone with your problems:) the used are possibly the most emotional influencing bands out and have got me through alot of problems in my life. thank you bert, quinn, jeph and dan. Awesome Song | Reviewer: Dympy ------ About the song Blood On My Hands performed by The Used Well, this is just another awesome song of The Used. I really like the whole meaning behind it, and yeah, he's right (well, that's my opinion =p). I've also heard what they whisper at the end, they whisper: 'Is it really that hard for you to breath?' Love them!! | Reviewer: I'm Just a Girl but... ------ About artist/band The Used ok to makayla... yes we all miss branden... but Dan has deffinatly brought a lot to the band... live they all seem to get along better... there was a seperation with branden and the rest of the band... but if you want to listen to branden play he is in a different band... i cant remember what they are called... but the used is amazing!!! Quinn Bert Jeph and Dan are all so talented and I am absolutely in love with all of them!!! I love the new and inpoved " The Used" | Reviewer: Stacey Baker ------ About artist/band The Used O.k first thing's first!!! I love The Used because they have gotten me through some pretty hard times in my life. Secondly i love the new ablum!!!!! it rock's and the sound is awsome DAN your awsome!!!! but i love all of them to death good song | Reviewer: Sandman ------ About the song Noise And Kisses performed by The Used I cant even begin to talk about how much the used has helped me through heart ache and problems with love, for a bit this song was the story of my life "look in my eyes I'm jaded now whatever that means by sharing these things, I rip my heart out. it's worth my time, whatever that means..." in the first couple of lines he is trying to convey to his love that all of the games she has been playing with him has jaded him, so much so that he immediately denies his feelings and words in the same thought with "whatever that means" as a way to save face in front of her, in the next few lines he explains that by confronting her he is ripping out his heart, he is hurting his own pride in order to try to convey that she means the world to him, hence the "its worth my time.." but then again withdrawals with another "whatever that means", he is in limbo with emotions and feelings, the conflict of his love for this girl and his fear of rejection, this fear is evident later in the song with the line "Share with me Cause I need it right now Let me see your insides Or write me off Cause I'd rather STOP now If you won't open up." asking her to share her true feelings or 'insides' or to reject him so he can stop these feelings before he gets too invested and then is turned down, which would result in even more painful heartache. AMAZING!! | Reviewer: I'm Just a Girl but... ------ About the song Blood On My Hands performed by The Used BERTS LYRICS ARE AMAZING!!! I LOVE HOW SO MUCH FEELING GOES INTO EVERY SONG... THIS SONG IS ONE OF MY FAVORITES FROMT THE NEW RECORD JUST FOR THE LYRICS... BERT IS SO FREAKING TALENTED!!! FOR ME THIS SONG IS ABOUT WHEN YOU ARE IN A RELATIONSHIP YOU TEND TO ONLY SHOW ONE SIDE OF WHO YOU ACTUALLY ARE... AND BEING SCARED TO SHOW YOUR WHOLE SELF TO THIS PARTICULAR PERSON... I LOVE IT Amazing. | Reviewer: Francesca ------ About the song Kissing You Goodbye performed by The Used This song is fucking beautiful. I can safely say that The Used are one of the greatest artists ever. They never let me down when they come out with new material and the old songs don't even seem old; I can listen to anything they do over and over and over. So much love.
