The Used Live 5/4/08: "The Bird and the Worm"; Synthesis.net

[DefinatleyNotKira]

I love this song, pretty poor live preformance though :(

[KLMblue09]

I like Bert with black hair :) He should keep it that way :) I love them soo much!

[cjswnsdl]

worst live ever

[rickyraffaini]

amazing band, but poor performance on berts part :( I was there, and it was a little dissapointing. But I saw them again in chico and they were amzzingg

[KidWithABulletSoul]

Bwahahaha, I am SO psyched to see them in February with Atreyu... It's gonna be BADASS

[ShadowEcho]

@KidWithABulletSoul ME TOO. SO EXCITED.

[FreyaMusic]

I love The Used, but honestly, Bert doesn't sound very good live. Not in this vid at least. I think to be at the show with the whole atmosphere it would be a different story, but just watching this video didn't do much for me. The CD's however, ALWAYS amazing :)

[LPDXDX]

bert mac crack is a fail and not only at singing.

i feel dissapointed cuz i ever liked this song and band.

this song doesn't quit to be good just cuz the singer is a gay emo drug addict. lol

[MapleNews]

Screw off.

[LPDXDX]

why? ;)

[craziboisnipe]

he is no where near emo, he is just a drug addict, i find that very offensive

[KidWithABulletSoul]

@craziboisnipe lmao epic win. It's like, "Sure, he's a drug addict, but I'll be damned if he's EMO!"

[KingOfYourHearts]

FUCK U

[craziboisnipe]

@KingOfYourHearts Fuck you to buddy, i dont know why you would even say anything.

[aliiixl0ve]

@LPDXDX

crack baby.

[joseblanco181]

He sounds like shit live.....I can't get nuff air to hit the high pitches he mid in most of the song ...he gives no energy live

[jeeens]

does anyone has the guitar tabs for the intro of this song???? or how they play it live?

i just know that they play it live in a very different way than on the album!

please help me!!

[XxcodeycrossxX]

and dont bother just replying back with another comment or email cuz i wont get it, you could just go back to this page if you really wanted to reply back and leave a whole new comment

[afobfan4life]

Bert is the most epic singer ever, I fucking LOVE him!!! Get to see him in concert on Halloween so I am excited.

You haters must not have a life if you have to be on here commenting instead of watching videos of the bands you do like. I feel sorry for you, get a clue.

[Elliottheath]

lol bert is worse live than adam lazarra

[rin7434]

That's pretty bad

Don't like it... Frustrading, I actually like them :/

[jcosmos1]

mnsnsbgfssfgtadesq

[mymumsconstantlynags]

this is the first live i have watched by the used. TBATW is my favourite song, but i dont know if its jjust this, or maybe he is a little drunk, but they kinda suck live.

[PurpleEmuSkater]

k, the used aren't as good as they used to be. their stuff was better back with in love and death and their self titled album. I hope their new album, artwork or whatever it's called is better.

[Nekropzial77]

i dont like this version

is too fucking short.

bert, my friend.. i hope that you can sing like you used to sing back in 2002...

[yokabernicola]

The drummer is way too good for the rest of the band... i mean i love the CD but live not that good! he is the only one who plays solid and skillful!

[carlosz882]

SUCK A DICK BITCH THE USED IS THE BEST

[TheOnlyJace]

i agree with carlosz882 100% on that

[mishgantuman]

I meant w/out Branden

[mishgantuman]

sure it's not the same with Branden. its better;) I would even say alot better. cuz drums doesn't sound that plastic and travisbarker-alike as they used to. I'm a drummer, trust me;)

[fungyband]

everybody's saying "its not the same without branden" but IM FUCKING sure ...you'll go they're show and be like a pussycat crying and singing!

[11bcarr]

You're fucking Sure? Why would you want to fuck Sure???? She's a ho.

[kanokian]

Rockin...

[MultiDarkMatter]

lmao

[horsegurlsierra]

hm, Bert sounds different live. He can sure freakin scream.

[erhitfm]

he doesn't scream any more i don't think he can anymore

[blessthemax]

have u ever seen them live? o.O

[peckerface12]

i see recent footage of him screaming in songs all the time. just look harder

[Pr0udkr4k4]

he had surgery on his throat thts we he doesnt scream like he used 2

[skottjones]

I have to agree with Stunginger, The Used will never be or sound the same without Branden

[calsinger]

what are u talkin about, the Used are just as amazin'. no offense but the main power is with Bert at the end, not to take away from the rest of the band but it's true

[skottjones]

well you notice a change in drums and in style ever since he left

[calsinger]

kinda, but it doesnt mean it's any worse, n it's not a massive difference like some lineup changes

[rickraffaini]

I was front row till I got on stage :) that was a really fun show!

[Stunginger]

Its not the same without Branden

[XxrjlovesyouxX]

amazing

<3

[metallicsob]

i think the singer ruined it..

just my opinion..

the drummer is fuckin killin though! XD

he is really good

[doublebassaxisdrummr]

dont talk shit about Bert since hes great.

[vanityrivera]

haha agreed

[latina100m]

wow bert is amazing! he didnt ruin it..he did fucken amazing!!!

[soflippenbored]

Bert makes it sound pretty easy but its actually very difficult to sing that high. Yeah whatever his performance wasn't flawless but you got to give him props...the used is a lot better than most bands live.

[stupade]

yah...y talk bout alesana...i know they can scream well but no offense i think bert mccracken owns them back when he did not have yet a surgery....!!!the used are way better and they are flexible to diffferent kind of genre...damn love that...

[ohemgeeXgerardisHOT]

Why are you guys talking about Alesana on a The Used vid..? =S

lol

It's like how everyone talks about +44 and AVA on Blink vids...

=.=

[cortezthemusic]

i sing better

[alphaguitar2]

seriously doubt that

[sirwrecksalot]

i want to see them so bad!

[devlzreject666]

i hope they tour this year. i would def go see them

[deller26]

god they suck live

[TheUsedFan123]

You Kidding, there fucking great.

[aliiixl0ve]

@deller26

dude, they're fucking great. :b

i'd like to see you do half as good as them. (;

[asdfghkjlena]

i was there :) i got to hang out with them.

[buff5tuff]

have to respect the song. its top. anyone have anything against it. first ask your self... can you do or have you dont what they have accomplished? im not saying there the best. im saying they've deserved their praise.

[danielsalas89]

the used no matter what will forever be loved

[jephagasm]

lmfao that was some crazy yoda ass shit rite there. major lawls. lol

[xtwistedxcursex]

are you related to troy salas?

[FanvidProductions]

Why does everyone seem to not like the used anymore?

I like there old songs, I like there new songs, there a band, there sound is obiously gonna change a few times. It'll probably change again a bit on there next album.

I still love the used, I like the fact that not all there songs sound the same =]

[rickraffaini]

I love the used :D all of there tunes are fucking amazing :D

[RasmusRosenbergS]

This is just not the used anymore.

[dtcrawl222324]

he gained weight

[likeafox777]

that perf. kinda sucked

[SlainON2nd]

i seem to remember reading somewhere that bert had said they wer going to destroy screamo music, or something along those lines. that could be the reason for the lack of screams.

it sucks.

[elizaabethanne]

he cant destroy scremo!!

the used is such an awesome band.

scremo rocks.

hes GOOD at scremo.

:(

[Lynx3762]

but he screams wrong...the way he screams, he totally screws up his throat

its why his voice has been getting deeper as the years go on

a lot of bands scream wrong

[madeinemo]

but wrong screams are quite better that other ways to scream..compare alesana and the used ;)

[Lynx3762]

sometimes you can get the screams that sound like that and rly good but doing it in a way that doesnt kill your throat

alesanas screams are mostly good...live they kinda suck with screaming though

[thecrazychimpz]

well alesana screaming is rllllllllly high

[domainofdoom]

lol idk alesana's scream are complete throat screams.... so thats waaay worse than this guy's screams. and this guy's scream sound good lol

[SmackerfanBoi]

He's only not screaming here because he was sick with something, I think the flu. I was there and I got to meet them and he sounded really sick. You had to buy Shallow Believer to meet them, but either way The Used kicked fucking ass!!!

[RasmusRosenbergS]

And its not good to smoke before you scream.

He just did that, when he came in.

And NO, he doesnt scream right.

[pescidavidt]

bert just doesn't look like bert anymore

he needs to clean himself up

he need to loose some weight and get his hair back

Bert i miss you

[xXrockon0323Xx]

i was there too!!!

it was awesome!!!

the mosh pits were so fun!

i saw bert afterwords and i played my guitar for him and he said it sounded good!

it was SO freakin cool!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!11

[dkmatey]

its mosh pit lol

[0megaNaruto]

i was at this concert, it was pretty awesome but i was in the mash pit and got squashed. they talked to me afterwards at the signing and bert gave me a high 5 and said i was his favorite fan, seriously!

[silverchickkk19]

ahaha, it was so much better in VA

[SpittingxFeathers]

i was at this show, loved it. but why was bert avoiding his screams?

[Garcia3293]

i think he has a lung problem thats what i herd

[RadxRicky]

nah he doesnt scream because he doesnt want to get nodes on his vocal chords again.

[ForsakenElric]

He blew his larynx.

[grayemansamwise]

I really like this song but he's not so great live.

[patdfob1]

my sister went. i could have but my parents didnt let me!

[RadxRicky]

this is helllaa going on my myspace. lol. seriously.

[synthesismagazine]
