Please no?

 

Yeah I would've been stoked for this a few years ago but The Used have been such a letdown recently I'm over it. And this is from a huge fan of theirs.

 

Bert at it again

 

Who wouldn’t want to see the hitmakers famous for this season’s chart-topping and poignant single “Blow Me?”

 

I saw the 2005 taste of chaos that the used headlined.. what a crazy difference in trajectories. The original lineup/chemistry between them was what made the band great.. once that changed I feel they fell off hard.

 

Maybe he's just putting this out into the world to try to see if it will materialize.

 

praying this is not true

 

As much as I stopped caring about the Used for a long time, I recently revisited The Canyon and I still believe it's the best thing they've ever done. So if I'm correct in thinking they might be in the middle of a new career peak, I don't see why this would be a bad thing

 

Guess that would make me okay not showing up right when the show starts.

 

A lot of the shows on this tour don’t even start until 8:30pm. So if there’s going to be an opener at all, there will probably only be one and I think they will only have 30 minutes. Having said that, I heard this rumor about The Used on Tuesday evening before the official tour announcement. Then Bert said this on Wednesday night, and again at a show this past weekend in Chicago.

 

Doing this so blatantly, and to lace it with a "maybe" reeks of schtick. And probably means that it's not happening.

 

He’s trolling

 

ngl I saw them open a few years back with blink and they were way tighter than I expected considering they came from the "sucky musician" era of the scene.

 

Their set list hasn’t changed since 2005 so who cares?

 

I don't understand some of the negative replies here at all. Their last album is one of the best they've released and they would still mainly be playing their older singles live.

 

We don’t really want them to change their set list considering all their post-2005 material lmao

 

I don't know, I've always had the impression they really did stand above their peers when it comes to their musical chops.
