The Used - The Taste of Ink (Live At AOL Sessions)

[xotheusedguyox]

wow, this video is 10 years old, i remember watching this video over and over again when i was a kid and it first came out, id go home after school and watch it every day...also, not too many videos out there where we acturally see greg bester...thats also a nice touch to this video...the used are the greatest band ever! :)

[TomothyWTF]

I love how a live performance is purely dictated by the quality of the singing. What about the guitar, bass, and drums? What about the synchronization? What about the energy and the show they put on?

[TheKenTerry]

Wow this sucks live...at least it isn't as bad as Panic at the disco live.

[KoukiKid]

When they were worth listening too )O;

[OMGitsDSypl]

Bert is a fucking god!

(btw can anyone tell me what happened about his scream? i keep hearing comments like "rip bert's scream" on youtube vids so im kindv scared :o...)

[Martinizrul]

@OMGitsDSypl because its hard on the voicebox to botch scream and sing (not one or the other) he developed a node on his and had to get surgery done for it to be removed

[OMGitsDSypl]

@Martinizrul :[]!!!!!! so whats going to happen to his career :o? or did they say anything yet?

[Martinizrul]

@OMGitsDSypl he should be fine, he just needs to not scream as much or as hard as he used to, which im sure is part of the reason there wasnt much screaming in their latest album

[megyton]

one of the best screaming voice 4 me of all time ..u reap it dude :D

[Jahomma123]

Why are people saying he sucks? Hes mad good :D

[redhotwheeldon]

Looks like Kurt Cobain :$

[gearsdan]

BERT IS FUCKEN SEXY! AND IM A DUDE

[7d7e7f7]

Anyone else think Bert looks way older than 20 here?

[Krussify]

that scream sent shivers up my spine :D

[mcrluva1609]

@mcrobsesser003 oh ok. just takin a guesss

[mcrluva1609]

@mcrobsesser003 could be brandon [drummer]

[allonbryant]

i love this song

[GingerJessika]

They are saying he is singing badly, Well fuck you all XD Like this was only when they started, look at a recent live vid of them. He is UNREAL!

[headstrong440]

his vocals are very bad.haha

[punx8086]

2:09 who the hell is that, and wow he is on some good stuff whatever it is.......

[mondelichom]

idol

[Nibiru182]

they suck on this one

[sexymuffin101node]

Bert is so hot, especially since he went blond. he could brush his hair a little more though. the used rock.

[nateogreat18]

i personally think has a great voice and an awesome scream well not anymore he lost his scream but hes good cmon ppl i wish he would sing for my band

[LastElementBand]

at 1:19 you can hear the backing track if you listen...

[patvilleneuve20]

@LastElementBand i think its the drummer who's just doing the back vocals

[KingOfYourHearts]

they should hire another full time guitarist and not a dorky one that doesnt even know wtf hes doing but if they dont it will be ok cause the used are fucking awsome they way they are now too =0

[KingOfYourHearts]

nvm mind hes not

[KingOfYourHearts]

huh the blonde dude doesnt play the bass now but i guess he did then

Bert is the fuckin best

[KYOOBED]

@KingOfYourHearts the "blonde dude" is quinn and he never played bass in the band, that's jeph.

[xXjjterrorXx]

the fucking best, cant wait to see them live :D

[lmelonl]

He really really needs a lot of vocal coaching. Almost never lives up to the album live. Like MCR. Otherwise A good band.

[CT42069]

i think the sketchy sounding, raw voice he has makes the band what it is, he obviously doesnt have proper vocal training, but you can't deny there sound, and stlye, it's just so good, different.

[lmelonl]

Yeah I agree that they are a good band. I would just love to see him really learn how to control his voice.

[SweetZoid]

8 years ago :O

[1jfan]

bert needs to shave but hes stiil funny in this

[1jfan]

oh my gos bert is wearing nail polish thats funny

[alucardwillfreed14]

I liked the first and 2nd albums the best. once lies for the liars started they really started to change their sound. I was deffinately a fan of the 1st album the most.

[doghousehobo]

Totally agree with you, they were so cool back then. Good times gone I guess.

[thechubsshow]

i love the used... but this version just sounds so sloppy

[CrazyLongboard]

I think they have gotten progressively worse over the years. The 1st album was by far the best and it's just been downhill from there. I haven't even bothered to listen to the new album because if it's like the previous one it's not worth my 10 dollars.

I really wish they would bring back their old style more, instead of the new and not so good stuff.

[CT42069]

man, i totaly agree with you. Every album has gotten worse and worse, they were good when they first started as a band. then they just went to shit after lies for the liars.

[theusedaremyfriend]

No... They just expanded their horizons instead of being one of those lame bands that rewrite their albums just to stay popular.

[CT42069]

really.. it seems to mean they changed up thier style to go along with a mainstream fan base. in other words they attempted to be more popluar, by selling out there own music and personel styles. And they failed in that attempt. there most amazing work was 2002 and prior. But thats my opinion.

[theusedaremyfriend]

I do have to admit that the self-titles was my favorite. But Artwork was definitely a comeback from Lies For The Liars. It was really fresh and I think it was as good or maybe even better than In Love And Death. But I really don't think they sold out... But whatever.. Peace bro

[QkumberMDK]

agree from good to terrible

[GoodNewsBadNews1]

haha he says "tie-yerd" =] love em

[MrsOlliipop]

damn hes good live.

[valeriano18]

a joke like u hypobasis?

[mmollyrrose]

why?!?

[w00tw00t12]

The whole band is a joke now, actually.

[4everSushi]

i love you bert!! <3

[4everSushi]

wow, ur fucking retarded.

[tofusauce]

why is it so flat????

[TitsMcAssh0le]

just playing in a lower key is all. might be cause Bert can't kill his vocals anymore

[blinkRomance]

Nooo ha this is from years ago. Hence Quinns blonde hair and Brandon on the drums.

[TitsMcAssh0le]

ahh true, i never got a clear shot at brandon. who knows, it's just a lower key lol.

[holywood1992]

great scream towards the middle.

[ilovelocalmusicshit]

is berts tongue pierced???

[screwx3you]

Holy fucking cum in a bucket.

He is pretty much Jesus.

[TomJack281]

I'm going to be honest here - I never really liked these guys, infact I hated them because of their image etc ... but i must admit they are awesome live and i like them a little more knowning they arnt a studio band

[CheeseT0uch]

@TomJack281 i know its just youre opinion but men you should stop focusing on "image" and listen to the music instead..

[MALSIV]

@TomJack281 How can you hate a band because of how they look?

[insaneme92]

has anyone noticed that the shirt he is wearing is the one he wears in the actual video while perfoming in the show

[blink182v]

i think he does awesome live...id c him live if i could=)...compared 2 other band singers that disapoint me

[earthquake801]

haha. the twenty-year-old Bert. (:

[edeiparine]

BERT - half man half amazing

[ReggieReturns05]

Correction: completely man, completely amazing.

[itsallgood239]

I didn't say he was a bad singer. Maybe this was just a bad performance.

[itsallgood239]

Whatever dude. This isn't a big deal.

[itsallgood239]

I love live shows. I know not all singers sound the same live. But this dudes voice is kinda off.

[itsallgood239]

Not trying to be a dick but is it me or does his voice kinda suck live?

[zombiexbert]

He's just so raw is all. I think he's great live but that's just me.

[6NewHorizons9]

1:19

[nerdmonkeyfromhell]

You say 50 cent - I say AFI

You say britney spears - I say The Used

You say akon - I say MCR

You say jonas brothers -I say Hawthorne Heights!

You say justin timberlake - I say Marilyn Manson

You say high school musical - I say Metallica

You say miley cyrus - I say 30 seconds to mars

92% of kids have turned to rap,pop,& hip hop.If your one of the 8% who like to headbang and disturb the peace copy and paste to 4 videos

[thefutureA]

I don't think The singing was all that good. It sounded like he dropped an octave and its a shame. I think the recorded/MV was better.

[LiVeWiRe3030150]

awsome performance!it was on my birthday too lol

[Lib3rateyourmind]

lol sounds like he's whining at the begining of the song.

I do like the song tho lol

[ericgoesRAWR]

songs amazing!:D

i get to see them on the 24th

C:

[kornrox593]

saw them last night, they did well...im not a fan of them at ALL but i enjoyed it...This was like the only song I knew of them cuz it was all popular lol

[TheRealBetsy]

woah! i didn't know this was by them. No wonder i love it. ;)

[Lina629]

[yagoace]

[Lina629]

[JamesUsed]

[Lina629]

one day, you will.

i hope you do. :]

the used is amazing.

just... plain amazing. <3

[AproXwish]

the sound koo when they sing Under Pressure with MCR

[mokiegal180]

Who's the other guitarist?

[JamesUsed]

I think he just helps them out when they need it, they might of wanted him in this performance to make it extra-amazing

[weekendofmonday]

@JamesUsed ive seen him in many of their early videos,and a guy named greg bester toured with em after their first release, so its probably him. =]

[UsedHeartzs]

Its either Joel, or the supporting guitarist on their first tours in 2001 & 2002.

[ArbZ0022]

awesome
