The Used headline tour

Thu 3rd Sep, 2009 in Local News

Having ripped it up on the Taste Of Chaos tour in 2007, Utah punks The Used touch down again in November. The band is set to play shows for fans of all ages to christen fourth album Artwork. Early reviews suggest it’s one of their strongest efforts yet.

The four-piece will be in fighting form when they reach us, with gigs every few days until they board the plane to Australia. Check out the photos from The Used’s last visit for a reminder of their rabble-rousing credentials.

The Used plays these four shows on its 2009 tour. Tickets on sale Monday 14 September.

Wednesday 18 November – The Tivoli, Brisbane (All Ages)
Friday 20 November – The HiFi, Melbourne (18+)
Sunday 22 November – The HiFi, Melbourne (U18)
Tuesday 24 November – UNSW Roundhouse (All Ages)

Upsetting? How many Used fans do you know that are over eighteen?

It's called waning popularity dawg.

Wasn't emo, like, so totally 2005?

MorningAfterboy

MorningAfterboy said on the 3rd Sep, 2009

Yeah, The Used aren't emo, buddy.

Anyways, has anyone heard Artwork? Any good?

Stefan Beck

Stefan Beck said on the 3rd Sep, 2009

Oh c'mon Pedantic Defender.

Back in 2004 when 'In Love and Death' hit you would find The Used at the top of every band list on every emo kids Myspace page.

Actually, The Used didn't really take off here in Australia until about 2005 when All That I've Got became a hit on the radio. I remember the flurry to get tickets to the shows like it was yesterday.

And I still stick by there being no such thing as "emo kids". They're scenesters if anything.

Stefan Beck said on the 3rd Sep, 2009

You quite obviously knew what I meant.

MorningAfterboy

MorningAfterboy said on the 3rd Sep, 2009

Only because I'm used to people being under the impression that bands like The Used and My Chemical Romance et al. are "emo".
They're really not.

mooney88 said on the 3rd Sep, 2009

They most def are emo.
Everyone in the world knows them as emo.
Not everything sticks to a textbook definition bro (bro added for rhyming effect)

MorningAfterboy

MorningAfterboy said on the 3rd Sep, 2009

Cute rhymes, but they're post-hardcore at their heaviest.

This is what emo actually is (not the be all and end all, but a lot closer than the bloody Used):

do you seriously lose sleep over this shit?

MorningAfterboy

MorningAfterboy said on the 4th Sep, 2009

All I'm saying is that calling the Used emo is like calling Kelly Clarkson heavy rock.

mooney88

mooney88 said on the 4th Sep, 2009

Yeah you know, except that everyone calls the Used emo, and no one calls kelly clarkson heavy rock.


ITS NOT RAP ITS HIP HOP.

MorningAfterboy

MorningAfterboy said on the 4th Sep, 2009

Everyone once called the world flat. Didn't make them any more correct.

Stefan Beck

Stefan Beck said on the 4th Sep, 2009

I heard that most people didn't actually think that.

MAB, you are seriously an idiot so much of the time that it saddens me to think that you are really that misguided. I hope you are genuinely just messing with everyone on these forums.

brittles said on the 4th Sep, 2009

This band is rubbish.

End thread.

Napoleon Solo said on the 4th Sep, 2009

I have siad it before, but emo has ceased to be a musical genre. It is just a derogative term to describe a scene. It is defined more by a look than a sound.

BAHAHAHAHAHAH. WHAT A DUMB BASTARD

Keep up the laughs big boy.

The Fool

The Fool said on the 4th Sep, 2009

For the record I don't give a shit about the used, worst band ever. But MAB trying to get on his high horse and be all "actually if you just listen to the lyrics then you'll know bla bla..." makes my arse tingle. And sadly not in a good way. In the way that the entire forum thinks he's an idiot.

HEY MAB, THIS

Sunny Day Real Estate and The Used are part of the same genre yeah?
