“They’ve been just begging us to tour and we’re like, Stadiums? Nah, we’ll do the 1200 cap,” he joked.
“But there’s a big plan for next year. We’re doing a split EP, not with My Chemical Romance, but with just half the band. We’ve joined forces via a super group.”
When pressed on the plans, The Used bassist Jeph shrugged with a smile: “I don’t know.”

Before splitting in 2013, My Chemical Romance teamed with The Used to release a charity cover of Queen and David Bowie’s Under Pressure in 2005 following a tsunami disaster in South Asia.
The Used recently wrapped an Australian tour in celebration of their 25th anniversary, built around full-album performances of their first three records: The Used (2002), In Love and Death (2004), and Lies for the Liars (2007).
