Lostprophets Ian Watkins has pleaded guilty - Comments

Oh, definitely. The video is just one of those things that the more you think about it, the more you freak out about the kids that were in the video and what he could have done with them. I think most people link music to the videos and the minute I hear that song, I get the video playing back in my head and it disgusts me. At least with the other ones, there aren't any (I could be mistaken though) kids involved and it isn't going to drive your mind straight back to the "oh God, this guy is a convicted paedophile" mindset.

@ house of cards.
I think had they not done that video, then it would at least be a teeny tiny bit different

I think that's the one thing that is putting a lot of people off, because it's the argument I've been having thrown at me all day. Funnily enough, it's one I agree with when people tell me I shouldn't listen to them again. It makes me feel quite sick to my stomach when I think about it, in all honesty.

I think that's my main issue with listening to them right now, is that song and it's video. Given time and I'm sure eventually I'll listen to a few songs again

I think it's absolutely disgusting and (toning down my real opinion because the last thing I want to do is get banned for bashing) I hope they lock him up and throw away the key. People like that shouldn't be allowed to co-exist with normal civilisation.

I don't think I'll stop listening to Lostprophets though. For me, the music and the man are very different things. I had an argument with someone today because apparently still listening to songs that have been firm favourites for years makes me a deplorable human being and I think that's silly. Lostprophets didn't conspire to rape a child, Ian Watkins did. Like London Lane said, I think it's unfair that the entire band are being punished for it. They sure as hell didn't know, or I'd like to think they didn't seeing as they didn't say anything. Lee actually tweeted saying he's glad it's all over and I genuinely feel for the poor guys because they've been caught up in the massive media shitstorm and no one seems to stop and say "but hey, the other guys from the band aren't to blame". It's just unfortunate that their singer turned out to be a...well, turned out to have some major issues.

Saying that though, I'll not be listening to Town Called Hypocrisy ever again. It's up there in my all-time favourite songs but knowing what we do now and thinking about that video just gives me the chills.

Glob... I feel sick to my stomach after reading that. I can't even -- That bastard is sick.

Reading that report literally made me feel nauseous. I can't believe I helped someone write a fan-fic about him a while ago.

He doesn't even seem human. He's so disgusting -- I just want to...I don't even know what I'd do to him, for all he's done to those poor innocent children. I'm like seething.

@ lady_enigma

It is. When I first heard about this, I was completely floored. It just seemed too weird, too unbelievable.

@ London Lane.

No the rest of the band shouldnt be punished, its a shame it ended this way for them

I don't think people should punish the entire band. He did a shitty, disgusting thing, but Lost Prophets isn't just him. They still made good music. I'm not defending him or anything, either. But I guess it's hard to look past that.

I simply can not listen to Lostprophets any more. What he did is disgusting and as London Lane. said, it doesn't even look like Ian. I'm just wondering what he's become because he used to be my inspiration. So done. So, so done.

@ London Lane.

He does look a lot older now. But then I suppose, he has been locked up for a while he's going to change you know? And it does show exactly what you said.

@ ptvjaime

I did the same thing.

I think what gets me even more is that they did that music video in which he was a childrens TV presenter. So hes got all this he's admitted to and he did that music video, I hope he didnt do anything to any of the kids in that

I just deleted all my music of his off of my MP3 player. I can't believe he'd do this. I hope he rots in prison.

This is really upsetting, since I was a fan of the band for a long time. It really goes to show you don't know people. And that picture doesn't even look like Ian.
