miss this band so much. find listening difficult sometimes knowing that the frontman was capable of such unspeakable things- but the music holds lots of special memories for me
I feel guilty for listening to them still to this day but I can’t just not ever listen to lostprophets again, they were and to be honest are still one of my favourite bands ever. Ian Watkins on the other hand is a twisted sick SOAB.
I feel you. LostProphets is one of the few bands of which I enjoy nearly every song they made. I never stopped listening to them. It reminds me of the beauty and simultaneously the ugliness of the world.
@marius kristensen well that’s just odd in my opinion. I didn’t say I liked Ian Watkins I said he’s a sick sick person but I liked the music they produced at the time. Jimmy Saville on the other hand is a creep.
Unfortunately that won't be the case. These songs are forever tainted, specially, since Ian was the main lyricist. The brand can no longer exist because no record company will produce an album under the Lostprophets moniker. Also, the members did the right thing by distancing themselves from that awful thing. All we have left are these songs, but Lostprophets is done forever. That's why 3 out of five guys are no longer part of No Devotion. The impact of Ian's actions go beyond the music. Stu, Lee, Mike, Oliver and Luke will always be known as the Lostprophets guys...
If you want a complete picture of the decline and eventual criminality of Ian Watkins, just read 'Bodies - Life and Death in music' by Ian Winwood. Winwood is a journalist and former friend of Watkins. It's a brutal story and much more detailed and revealing than the basic news coverage.
Yeh he did some horrible things but their music is some of the best ever produced. They literally beat the brakes off of most of the rock bands in 2022 today. shame thier front man fucked things up for them.

@@rahbeat9785 maybe long time fans who are just happy to be there, I used to be one. Ian got progressively worse live every time I saw them & soon after this we found out the extent of his drug problems, this was at the height of that

Best band of all time for me... loving hearing this again, gutted isn't even the word that we can't still be experiencing this live. Why Ian... just why.
Something seriously wrong with your limited knowledge of music, if you think that this generic band is "Greatest of all Time" 😂 Have you ever heard of,say, Roxy Music, Stranglers, Smiths, Zepellin, Pixies... to name just a few?
@@andyh1903 idk if you know what went down, they were on & off streaming. Their first album actually did well, was on streaming for years but the label shut down & it was taken off, they only just recently added it again so there’s less streams in comparison.

Do you think that the drugs made those sick fantasies in his head come over with the addiction? At least Jamie Oliver & Lee stills with the same life style since 2004, they are Edgers & vegans.
@@gabrielrlki7102 it doesn’t but it does make those thoughts & desires worse, makes people more willing to act on it, makes you mentally numb & the worse version of yourself manifests. Ian wasn’t a predator out the gate, every story or rumor that came out was said to take place after his heavy drug use started
@@py16667 Meth can severely change how you look physically, just imagine the mental effect we still don’t know as humans the full extent, they should have put Watkins in an Insane Asylum not a prison so he could recover fully and I doubt he would do anything to the sort while being straight edge as he had no issues from 97-05.
Reading comments where people say this is the “best band ever” while listening to every vocalist sing completely off key through the whole song Where We Belong at 17:00
I was shocked by how he deteriorated in his skill. I suppose it's drugs' influence which had revealed by that time. He didn't catch any sharp note while was singing Bring Em Down. He simply stopped to make as significant efforts as earlier. Only in my opinion. By the way it's weird to realize that at the moment of this video shooting he already perpetrated everything he was indicted in.
If you take a close look at the other band members you will see no one looks a least a bit happy. They don't even smile. They knew what was going on I think. Or at least they knew the band is over.
They didn't know about the sexual stuff or the severity of it, but Ian had been on a steady decline outside of the sick pedo shit for some time that all the other members had to deal with. In an interview I remember reading about shortly after the band broke up, one of them called him a "constant miserable challenge" or something similar.
Yeah. They knew ian was imploding. He was missing gigs, and they’re relationship outside the band was non existent due to his behaviour. But there’s no way they knew the extent. They’re pretty normal guys with families. Only Ian ever really lived up to the cliche “douchebag” style rock star.
He can't sing a note in tune and was using drugs heavily around this time (it shows), no wonder they're angry. Towards the last few years when Ian's SA ramped up they were estranged anyway so I don't doubt that they didn't know about that
So many lives destroyed and for what?! I love the band and wish his former band mates all the best but, Ian Watkins belongs exactly where he is - rotting in a prison cell. What a waste! He had it all and threw it away. It pisses me off for too many reasons to mention.
he now has free shelter free food free gym and fan mail every once in a while. I spent a year in prison made some good friends its not like hell or anything
If Watkins ends up dy1ng after the attack. I really hope Stu, Mike, Jamie, Lee and Luke can find some closure. That would close this chapter once for all. Not only them. The same goes to the rest of the victims, the people who suffered the consecuences of his actions: His Family, the people he abused, all of them deserve the chance to get the relief of knowing that the man who ruined their lives, is gone for good. Unfortunately that wasn't the case.
Much more likely they would've broken up not long after this anyway. The relationship between Ian and the rest of the group had vastly deteriorated to the point they were more coworkers, and as one he had become way too unreliable.
I do actually have to say though, everything aside.....during where we belong.....even on the album, does nobody else think they're singing "we're rape alarm"? just a though lmfao
imagine if a big screen popped up behind him and someone played one of his tapes..like the one "say your name and birthdate" while he is ya know....the entire audience would see the real him
one person being a sick drug broken wreck is no reason to hate the artistic creation. I read the court transcripts and its still not enough to put me off them lol
Theres just noway to separate the music from the man, its a shame for the rest of the band but it is what is, at this point he had already crossed the Rubicon, one of my favourite bands growing up, now when ever I hear them it just upsets and sickens me, he used the band and its fans as a vehicle to depravity beyond comprehension
The rest of the guys are in No Devotion & you can seek out instruments if you don’t want to hear Ian, that’s how I can enjoy the music without being reminded of Ian
If you look back on 2000-04 videos he absolutely does not sound like this. This was the point of no return. Pedophile or not, they were headed for a break up. His behavior was uncontrollable at this point, brain, voice, personality destroyed.
@celestialchronic3572 💯 Yes. Weapons was absolutely the last album that the band was ever gonna make as LPS. He was despised by the rest of the band and very much isolated himself from everyone else. Even the music video for Somedays was only gonna feature IW and LG, with the other band members appearing via live footage or archive clips. That strong bond and gang like mentality that they had till around 2007 was long gone.
Couldn’t give 2 shit less what legal problems are involved but this is one of my favorite bands ever. Start Something was a mind blown of an album! Every song was amazing!

That’s the scary part about sociopathic and manipulative monsters like Ian. They’re just really good at hiding their true intentions and go on with their depravity when no one’s watching. As the saying goes, “there are monsters hidden among us”. Plus, they were already somewhat distant with him for a while (with Ian still living in the UK while the rest of the band are in the US along with his unprofessional behaviour)
@@slevingarganera8375 yeah i believe they didnt know about his crimes, they probably knew he liked 'young teens' (obviously he was truly into little kids), because that was a known fact around that time, but i doubt they knew about the sex crimes tbh.
