A classic in my eyes...

The Used have been and will always be a rock classic to me. What's not to like? The guy takes extreme heartache and loss and puts it into these epic songs. Mosh, cry, sing, yell, scream, break things. So many emotions build up in their songs its incredible. There's a song for every feeling though many of the songs are on the darker side.

The Used

Some of my favorite songs:
Liar Liar
Hospital
Kissing You Goodbye
Men Are All The Same
I Caught Fire
Blood On My Hands

Video: Empty With You

Really I could never choose one song as a favorite but, Empty With You (also available as an acoustic version..great by the way) is an extremely powerful song to me. Bert McCracken (lead singer) lost his girlfriend to a drug overdose when she was pregnant with their child (the baby also died). Bert put this loss into his music so while the music video is a "tour" video the song is actually about his girlfriend. His way of saying, if you feel empty, if you want to take your life I could do it too if that meant I could be with you. It's a terribly sad song but it will always be a favorite of mine and to many others out there. If you are a fan or if you become a fan of the Used you will realize how they are a classic to me. They just fall into that category all on their own and it's fucking awesome
