I just imagine a world where Ian wasn't a sick fuck, and Lost Prophets were touring to this day, probably making collabs with Deftones or Korn. The sad truth is that we live in the reality where he really messed up. Either way, can't cry over spilled milk, and all we can do is move on.
Amazing performance, Sadly Ian's vocals got progressively weaker and weaker over the years,by 2011 his "Rooftops" live vocals were shot,he would get the crowd to sing nearly everything except the chorus and when he did sing he was wildly out of tune (witness one of the last concerts they did in Cardiff 2011 I believe,shockingly bad!) This has to be one of his best live vocal performance of Rooftops ive ever heard! This song has to be the greatest British rock anthem ever written,it's absolutely perfect from start to finish and captures the angst of British youth. An amazing band. Thanks for upload,Subbed.
That's your chief sadness regarding this track?? His decaying voice was probably down to his escalating meth use and general deprativy. Basically a pile of shit dressed in trendy clothes belting out a potentially iconic song.
The London 2006 performance is the best one, also his voice really deteriorated due to his drug problems (this likely occurred alongside his crimes). It’s like in 2006-7 he was on top of the world, could basically do EVERYTHING (listen to some of the Liberation Transmission-era B-sides like Dead to Me and Every Song to see what Ian could really do especially in regards to belting-also even his falsetto was quite strong as exemplified by the upward falsetto run in the bridge of Heaven for the Weather, Hell for the Company)-however, in 2008 a switch flipped and Ian completely imploded, in more ways than one…
It is a shame that their lead singer is one of the most evil child predators I have ever heard of. He performed poorly due to is cocaine and meth addiction from what I heard.
It really did. His live performances from 2003 to 2007 were generally quite strong, if a bit inconsistent (understandable because many Lostprophets songs are VERY hard to sing, with high belting, fast and heavily syncopated vocal melodies, OR BOTH AT ONCE). However, to sing those songs correctly requires the ability to “ride the resonance” and let the voice mix gradually shift from chest-dominant to head-dominant as the melody goes higher (and vice versa if it drops lower)-and drugs like cocaine and methamphetamine specifically destroy those parts of the voice. This is why Ian’s 2008-12 performances sound wrong, because the resonance of his voice, previously his biggest strength and something that allowed him to belt REALLY high for a baritone/baritenor and stay in those parts of his vocal range for extended periods of time, is completely gone.
And what really makes me extremely sad is that I never got to go see you live. I can’t believe you’re doing this you you wouldn’t hurt anybody sweetheart. You care about everyone just not gonna be able to meet you and I am constantly worried about you. I pray for you and that you’re gonna be OK, I know you did nothing wrong will always be on your side!!! you’re always in my prayers as somehow will be away to get you out of there. You don’t belong there and I know that Joanne whatever because you spoke out about the truth of the government and I respect the shit out of that because I am extremely anti-government they took the hoodie nine years of life and it is not OK with me. Just know that is not that you are cared about by a lot of people please stay strong OK❤
Its such a shame what happened if only things were different but i guess all we can do is imagine
Dude fucked peoples lives up and his own he deserves to suffer

standing on the rooftops everybody PULL YOUR PANTS DOWWNNNN!
wow thank u sm!
Thank you 👍
Yay🖤🤘
Too bad the singer is a monster.
I wonder if ian says he had his fun
This was three days after the first Transformers film came out.
I'm sickened that I liked this song as a kid
No one knew what he did at the time, but yeah, it is sad to know how pure evil Ian was.
Thank you for the uploads!
Do you happen to have the Rooftops demo too, btw?
I don't think there is one.
@@cheeseburgeralpha7601 Actually there is one on yt
@@yeetusjesus8385 I found it. It was uploaded about a few months ago.
Drug abuse truly took a toll on his voice. At this point he wasn't that bad on his live performances. What a waste.
