Notes: I've seen The Used live twice now, and have to say they have disappointed both times. It's a shame really, as on record they are one of my guilty pleasures, providing some really catchy tunes and also some really powerful ones. Their songs are pretty synth-heavy, and live it honestly feels like they've just left that behind and play the songs in a really raw, demo-sounding state. And it really doesn't work very well. And for a band that don't sell many records and need to tour heavily in order to promote their music, this is really unfortunate.
