The Used Band • Page 74

Hey, this is pretty dope actually. Is that him singing? If so he sort of sounds like Bert in a way.

 

lol, yea this could a be a Used song for sure. Sounds good.

 

quinnietheused?

 

Quinn takes an early lead in the solo album battle

 

Yeah, it is. It's kinda weird how much he sounds like Bert actually. Part of it might be the production of the vocals too, I suspect.

It's an interesting song either way, and totally something that's growing on me after a few listens. I get a kind of The Used meets Acceptance vibe.

 

Yeah, it has been nearly 10 years since he left the band. I wonder why the long wait to release solo work? I do remember hearing he wanted to start another band though with ex members so maybe that took time and never really got off the ground.

 

How are you celebrating jay

 

Listening to the album on repeat all day whilst sat in one of his the used t-shirts probably!

 

Thinking of you today Jay

 

Jay today.

 

Robbie who? Oooooh robbietheused

 

0 backers on the cassette lol. I wish people would stop fucking putting cassettes out!

Really cool campaign though, and I'm excited to read his book. I really enjoyed "I Digress" too, so this is pretty cool, particularly as my interest in The Used these days is near 0.

 

How else would I get that stellar audio quality without cassettes?

 

How else can you play it in your boombox and re-enact Say Anything?

 

Cassettes rock. My bands sell cassettes like crazy haha.

 

Cassettes are gimmicky. They have none of the benefits that CDs or Vinyl have other than the nostalgia.

 

who is bert? I only know robbietheused

 

Roberto Mickey Kraken

 

The solo album is kinda fun honestly, especially if you mentally separate it from The Used, there's some catchy stuff.

 

Yeah it's a bit generic, but it's pretty fun

 

agreed, definitely takes some chances on it, whether they pan out or not is debatable

 

Soz to be a gossip diva, but I noticed on Bert’s insta post about the new album this comment from Branden.

Last I’d heard they weren’t on good terms due to the ILAD anniversary, so this is interesting! As a Used fan it’s cool to see, but the peace might be short lived depending on Quinn’s book!

 

Dude made 4 times his intended goal, no? I think he's probably got enough.

 

You can get your name in the book so it’s a good shoutout.

 

This will either make you feel really old or young, but I found this picture I took of my desktop when The Used were really breaking and AOL was covering them in 2002.



Also makes it weirder to think that was taken 22 years ago. 22 years previous to 2002 was 1980. Oh my. My millennial brain cannot compute.
