The band also announced that they are almost done recording a new album to be released early next year.It is with much sadness that we want to tell you that Branden is no longer the drummer in The Used. We felt that we needed to move forward without Branden as our drummer. We wish Branden well, and owe a great deal of gratitude towards him for his hard work over the years. We could not have gotten this far without him. We all wish much happiness and success in Branden's future endeavors - wherever they may lead.

I thought these fags broke up already. Maybe Branden decided it was time to stop being a homo. 4+ Replies

I like The Used, I dont care what anyone else thinks. He was pretty much the one guy I thought was super awesome from The Used, and it's pretty much his band in my opinion...oh well, ill move on i guess.....

The Used were so so so so so shitty when I saw them at Australian Taste of Chaos last year.... it didn't help that they played after Killswitch Engage who destroyed all before them and Howard flattened a little girl jumping out onto the crowd to surf. I'll never forget the sound of all those little girls shrieking along to the Used....

The only thing that surprises me is that it took him this long. Did he just realize that this band rims hobos?

I happen to like the used and in my opinion, if you don't like a band, why read, much less comment on events going on in there lives. If you don't like them then maybe you should try keeping your opinion to yourself because in the end, that's all it really is....an opinion. You think they suck well I don't and if you can't say anything positive then maybe you should just stop reading about a band you think sucks! Branden was my favorite member of the Used but that's not going to make me like the band any less, they are all talented musicians and I wish them all the best.

yeah i dont see how they think they are gunna succeed very far with out branden. he was the one who sent out the demos to John and he was the one who did most of the work for the band... and now they have whiteside.. and well he sucks. when i saw them in concert whiteside had no controll of the sticks and he messed up one of the songs.. so i think what they need to do is to suck it up and ask branden to come back. and i cant believe that they told him he was out of the band on the phone and jepha had no say in it and well he has no backbone to stick up for his friend. No i think that the used isnt gunna be much longer cuz either Bert is gunna die from the drugs or from his drinking or the fans are gunna be gone... its a shame too cuz they are one of my fave bands

okay.. all you fuckers that are dissing the used need to think about somethin.. they may have been homeless and struggled with drugs and relationship problems but at least they tried and went against everybody saying they couldnt make it and well they made it .. sure they kicked out the only responsable one of the band but at least they didnt just give up like little pussies. and all of you that are dissing them do you kno how hard it is to get signed to a record deal when you are coming out of utah... especially where they came from, so how bout you shut your fucking mouths and not read the article if you dont like the band.. | Features

This has no impact on the band..they're still going to suck.
They could have Dave Lombardo and they would still suck.
