SHAME ON YOU!

And Andy, their first single, "The Taste of Ink," contains the line "it's four o' clock in the f**kin' morning," so I don't know if that would offend you, but artistically, (judging solely on that song) I don't really care for them.

Strangely enough, I have encountered this bizarre phenomenon. They seem to stand out from the Good Charlottes and New Found Glorys; they've got an annoying but unique edge about them...

I haven't heard enough of them yet to say weither I like them or not... the one song a friend played for me (can't remember the title) was pretty catchy... but I was initially turned off by the fact that the lead guy was datin' Kelly Osbourn... I don't see how as a musician you could do that after she released "shut up"...

and Jared, dude... Good Charlottes first cd was good, before they started acting like punk posers and worried about the huge image they throw around...

Do not try to convince me, dude, that GC was good at any point.

"All these games you play,
They're messin' with my head, (messin' with my head)
I don't know why I stay,
I should leave instead, (I should leave instead)
When I speak from my heart, you laugh like it's a game, (this ain't no game)
Yeah, we'd make great friends, but it just isn't the same …"

Until listening to the intellectual depth of Good Charlotte, I had never considered suicide while listening to music.

haha, I'm not tryin' to convince you... neither did I say they were lyrically deep...
I'm just sayin' their first cd wasn't all bad...

i guess Burt (the singer for the used) was (for some reason) at a local bar/venue because he was passing through and saw the eyeliners who are his friends were playing
later that night he got kicked out for stage diving repeatedly after being told not to (note: the stage is only 2 1/2 feet tall the ceiling is 10 feet tall and the lights hang down about 2 to 3 feet from the ceiling)
