The Used: A Picspam
So there's this band I love - and unlike most bands recently, was a band I was into before I saw them in fandom. They happen to be this bunch of greasy, unwashed, really dirty boys, and I ♥ them.
There are like, 38 pictures behind the cut. They're mostly SFW, come from Tumblr/Flickr/Twitter/Google, and a lot of them are going to be accompanied by my inane, worldless gleeeee.
Lets start out with group photos, shall we?
L-R: Jepha (bass), Dan (drums), Bert (vocals), Quinn (guitar)
Look at their expressions! Bert's happy little smile, Jeph's .... slightly creepy "how-much-are-your-women?" look, Quinn showing everyone just how to look shocked and apalled(!!) and Dan's, well, I suppose it's a bug-eyed grimace? IDK.
This is them with their mascot, Chadam (? I think). I like that Bert's the one like, "Hey! Camera! This is my camera face!", Quinn has pen and paper, for what? Notes? Autographs? Maybe he needs to take drinks orders, or something. And then there's Dan and Jepha being quietly gay in the corner. (WHAT IS IT WITH BANDOM BOYS AND CARDIGANS? THEY DON'T MAKE YOU MANLY, GUYS, YOU CAN'T HIDE THE GAY THAT WAY)
I want to a) cuddle Bert, and b) know why Jepha got cut out of the second shot. Maybe they asked for modest necklines and Jepha was all, "I FLOUT YOUR RULES, FUCK YOU." IDK. I'm glad he flouted (someone decline that for me, I'm sure I got it wrong) them.
I wonder if they were going for a serious photo, but then Jeph was like, "HEY NO LOOK I CAN FLY. WHEEEEE."
This kind of counts as a group photo, I mean, that's definitely Jepha and Quinn. IDEK though, look at Bert's FACE. *squeezes it*
HELLOOOOOOO PHOTOSHOP. Nebulous hands reminds me of some porn I saw once. ANYWAY. This is from a really brilliant AP interview the guys did a while ago, just after Dan had joined, I think. This was his first photoshoot with the guys, and it was a BIG DEAL, yo.
I just like the way Quinn and Bert are looking at each other *_* *tinhat*
Quinn: *cameraface*
Jepha: *HNNNNNNNNNGH*
Dan: *....as normal as he gets*
Oh hey Branden, former drummer, watsup with you? Oh, you drum for Rancid? Well. You can just have my heart. Here. *wraps it in a bow* I mean yeah, I prefer Dan to you, but you're pretty awesome anyway, have some love! Also, mad props for being straight edge in The Used. No wonder he had to go!
So uh, Quinn and Bert kiss a lot. S'pretty awesome. Bert likes to talk about how he knew Quinn was like, it for him. Quinn let teenage!homeless!Bert live in his house. TWU LUV.
OHAI JEPHA AND QUINN. Of the band, Quinn is generally the one that does least for me (EVEN THOUGH HE'S EPIC ACES AWESOMENESS, DGMW), but ;alksdfkajdfka;dflkadlkjdf HE LOOKS SO GOOD IN THIS PHOTO. He just has such a sweet smile. I want to snuggle him. A lot.
LOOK AT HOW LONG DAN IS. He's like, "Oh, hey there! Don't mind me! Just stretchin' out. And out. And out. And out. And out s'more. S'all good, right?" AND BERT. TEENY TINY BERT. I WANT TO HOSE HIM DOWN AND THEN SMISH HIM.
AND NOW FOR THE INDIVIDUAL PORTION OF OUR EVENING:
Bert
Used to be a gymnast.
Has a cracked out giggle.
IS FUCKING ADORABLE.
ALSO HAS AN AMAAAAAAAAAZING VOICE.
He's also kind of dirty. Like, yeah, a touring musician isn't gonna be the cleanest guy? But damn near everyone comments on how he's dirty/sweaty/grimy/watevs. I don't actually care or judge him on this? (WAT, IT'S OK FOR GEEWAY BUT BERT NEEDS A DECONTAMINATION SUITE - ok he probably does) WHATEVER. LOOK AT HIS *INTESNITY*. And his wee skinny arm. Of late, he's looked bigger, I won't say fat or chubby or whatever (like some fangirls, who probably deem SUB-ANOREXIC as pudgy, wtf), but like maybe he eats now and then. It sort of makes me want to rub my face on his belly. DON'T JUDGE ME, OK? I'D WASH MY FACE AFTERWARDS.
;lksj;qlkwjer;lqkwjerq;wklerqklf NNNNNNNNNGH. HAI BERT.
LOOK AT HOW CUTE HE IS. LOOK. AT. HIM. I want to... I want to... Well, tbh? I WANT TO DO UNSPEAKABLE THINGS TO HIM.
DEAR BERT: ONCE YOU WERE TINY AND WEE, AND IT MADE ME HAPPY.
YO BERT. IF I GOTTA PIPE AND A CHAIR, YOU WANNA HANG OUT SOME TIME? WE'LL START A GANG. GET MATCHING TATS AND FORM A SUICIDE PACT T-SHIRTS WITH OUR FACES ON EM. CHECK Y/N.
Quinn
Has very good hair.
I CAN'T THINK OF ANYTHING TO SAY ABOUT THIS DUDE.
Deals with management and shit.
YO QUINN, LOOKIN FIIIIIINE.
IS THAT YOUR NATURAL HAIR? I LIKE IT. HOW CAN I ACHIEVE THAT? *snerk*
He's a deep guy. He gets artistic black&white shots taken of him. Mmhmmmmmm.
PUPPY! HELLZ YEAH. I love bandom boys and dogs.
NGL - I think the last shot makes him look like an old man. BUT AN OLD MAN I'D LIKE TO BUY ICE CREAM AND PLAY CHECKERS WITH. I may also want to tell him he's got a purdy mouf. And I've got a tv, so I think I could woo him. "Hey Quin, heeeey. If I told you I had an old school X-Box, a really small screened tv/dvd that didn't work and the remote control to a seperate dvd player that's in the tip, would you marry me? You would? Hecks yeah." (IT COULD HAPPEN DON'T YOU DASH MY DREAMS)
Dan
He's a drummer!! (wat. I love drummers, IDEK why, maybe it's their primal rhythm.)
He used to be a bricklayer SO HE'S REALLY FUCKING STRONG.(I may have fantasies about this. Maybe.)
He is not conventionally attractive. In fact, as I was saying to xaritomene, I think he may actually look a little bit froglike. BUT I REALLY LIKE FROGS, SO I AIN'T GOT NO PROBLEM WITH THIS.
THE ABOVE IS NOT TO SAY I'M OK WITH BEASTIALITY. I'M JUST REALLY OK WITH DAN.
He wears a lot of hats. Also, hey thar Photoshop, who let you in here?
DAN DAN DAN, you're a cameraman! IF YOU'D LIKE TO FILM ME, YOU CAN.
*salute* Yep, Dan, I totally agree, now is the time to tell people to check you out on the Kyte channel, where you are frequently adorable and amazing and fantastic and excellent and just generally superlative.
So I think he looks pretty damn tired in this picture, and mostly I just want to guide him to a nice big fluffy bed and tuck him in, maybe put on a couple of feel good movies, and feed him cakes and tea until he's bright eyed and bushy tailed again. Or I want to be the one who made him so tired in the first place, watevs.
OHAI DAN'S CROTCH. WHAT'RE YOU DOING HERE?
WELL HELLO DAN, LOOKIN SASSY. WALK THIS WAY, HONEY.
Jepha
Has a Prince Albert piercing, and apparently a ball tattoo.
Has a decapitated unicorn tattoo.
Likes to shave his legs (in turn making me want to lick them).
Calls one of his bass guitars Bob, after Bob Bryar.
Is a giant nerd.
In his own words, he had to be dragged away kicking and screaming. BECAUSE HE IS A NERD.
Nawwwwwwww, ickly Jepha! With bad hair! ROFL.
What can I say? Apparently I like artsy black&white shots of pretty boys.
ANY MAN WHO MATCHES HIS OUTFITS W/ A GOAT IS A MAN I'D LIKE TO KNOW.
alksdjf;lakjsdfklajfadf MMMMMMMMMM. HEY JEPHA.
NO MASCOT IS SAFE.
NO BEAR IS SAFE.
AND THIS FERRARI BETTER WATCH THE FUCK OUT.
What was that, Jepharee? Look down? Well alright then.
NEAT TATTOO DUDE!.... but that's not what you wanted us to see?
OH. RIGHT. YOU WANTED US TO SEE YOUR SEXY, SEXY HIPS. WELL OK THEN. I CAN DEAL WITH THOSE. ;aklsdjflakjdsflkja;ldskfjaskdlfj SRSLY YOU GUYS, HIPS ARE LIKE, MY FAVOURITE PART OF THE BODY. AND LOOK AT JEPHA'S. RAWWWWWWR.
And you thought he was ONLY a kick ass bassist? PSHAW. DUDE'S GOT ESPIONAAAAAGE SKILLS. RESPEC YO.
And guess what guys! Not only is he a smoking hot piece of fabulosity, he's gives good advice!
AND HE MAKES PUNS. MY HEART. HE HAS IT.
IN CONCLUSION:
Dan and Jepha are going out.
