This is not a picspam of love. This is a lineup.

apiphile has, as ever, all the best ideas. When she said she wanted a bandom picspam that served as an introduction to who was who but left out many things like adoring commentary, 200+ pics of Ross's little finger, and WAGs, I stepped up and offered to serve.

This is my picspam.

In it you will find pictures of My Chemical Romance, Fall Out Boy, Panic At The Disco, The Academy Is..., Cobra Starship, Gym Class Heroes, and The Used. Bands that make an appearance in Thursday-verse will be specifically noted with an *, even if the whole band does not appear. You will also find insults, bitchy commentary, people with creepy eyes, and some attempt to theme around suits, except in the case of Butcher, where I was more looking for a picture where he was wearing clothes, because suits are HOT.

In it you will not find: omg commentary, adoring commentary, videos, interviews, timelines, departed members, WAGs, Dirty, pets, scene queens, consistent effort to go with recent pictures rather than better pictures, appreciation of seven-eighths of Panic At The Spambot, (yes, there ARE only four people in that band; I half appreciate Spencer Smith, and appreciation of 1/2 of 1 of 4 is 7/8 disdain) or much nudity. You will also not be informed as to what instruments anyone plays, because let's face it: this is a primer for apiphile's use, and you're not going to need to know. You might need to know that Vicky-T uses a baseball bat in Thursday-verse.

This is not comprehensive, not even of bandom as a whole, but you kind of have to make it off my newbie-radar before I give two shits about you, at least enough to go find pictures of you, upload them to my own account, and include them in my post.

I am absolutely not able to discuss Pete Wentz without wondering aloud why he has not yet been quarantined by the CDC, nor of not pouring forth verbal evil when discussing Panic At The Spambot. But the pics are kind of nice.

I even managed to refrain from suggesting that Wentz is a pedo or calling Ryan Ross The Littlest Camwhore. Other than in that sentence, I mean.
