      I’ve never been able to find a band even close to the sound Lostprophets had and it’s sad because I just can’t bring myself to listen to them again.

      Weren’t the rest of the band starting a band with the Thursday singer when all this went down?

      I didn’t bother to check out what came of that as I can’t stand Thursday singers voice.

      I’m always partial to Thrice as far as that vein goes. Senses Fail is a little more Emo but made it on similar playlists to me back in the day.

      I’m not sure if this will scratch the itch or not but give the band Finch a try. I don’t think they’re still together but their album What it is to Burn may do it for you. I actually think their follow up Say Hello to Sunshine is incredible - far better than their debut, but it is also significantly heavier.

      it is obviously unlistenable at this point

      I get this, and I’m the same—purged all LP from my library when I learned about this scumbag.

      But, I still listen to Michael Jackson!
      Can’t wrap my head around that.
      I mean, I love Smooth Criminal man (no pun intended). That music video is *Chef’s kith*.

        Michael Jackson was acquitted. Weird guy? Yes. I’m sure he was fucked up from his father’s abuse. But that doesn’t automatically make him a child molester.

          It is generally considered rude to tell people to g! it themselves. Perhaps that was your intent but I hope you’re a bigger person than that and it was unintentional.

          Social media is for conversations. I think everyone knows how to search the interwebs.

            No, it was fully intentionally. I hate when people do “tldr”, because I consider that rude. Rudeness in, rudeness out. I went to the effort to find and link a video explaining what this dude did, only to get told it was too much effort to watch.

              I agree with you, I hate it when people expect easily findable information to be spoon fed to them. It would be one thing if they were asking to have special relativity explained to them, but this was just laziness.

                And the headline even says he was jailed for child sex offenses. That’s the tldr explanation right there if a video was too much.

          His password was “IFUCKKIDZ” spelled as indicated. That’s the disturbing part, it’s like internally, he was proud of it. No shame.

          If you ever watched Chris Hansen’s old To Catch A Predator series, or his new series, these guys usually find a way to delude themselves into thinking they’re not the way they are, or that they’re somehow helping the victim, and I can only assume they lie to themselves because they know what they are doing is wrong and feel some shame.

          Not Ian Watkins. He was proud of it. Ugh. Later in the video, after the password, you find out he even bragged about it. I had to stop there, I couldn’t even finish the video (linked by OP in comment).

    Good. Now, with any luck, he’ll heal up so he can go back to prison scared and live in fear of his next attack. And with any more luck, that will happen again, and again, and again, and again…

      Shinobi Vs Dragon ninja was and is an absolute masterpiece. Sadly I don’t want to listen to it any more as Ian has ruined any joy I could get out of listening to it since the news of his abhorrent dealings came out.

    Sadly he was trying to acquire a child from my home town and almost succeeded.
