Used to be a huge fan

*Highly controversial thread*


Now I ask Sup Forums a question..
>particularly old fans of Lostprophets

Could you listen to a Lostprophets song ever again? Or, even, HAVE you listened to one of their songs again?

>To turn this around on anyone who never liked/listened to the band, I'll ask this question again, differently

Imagine an artist/band that you were a huge huge fan of but then the front man is arrested for pedophilia... would you NEVER listen to them again?

>In case anyone is out the loop, here is what happened to Ian Watkins, former lead singer of disbanded group The Lostprophets

**I do not condone the acts of Ian Watkins, nor of any of persons who have or intend to commit similar acts. Such acts are disgusting, immoral, illegal and above all- evil. This thread is merely discussing music**

ian was set up. he dindu nuffin

can't respond to your first couple questions but

>Imagine an artist/band that you were a huge huge fan of but then the front man is arrested for pedophilia... would you NEVER listen to them again?
no? why would I stop listening to them? I don't give a fuck about the musician, I only care about their product

>feeling uncomfortable about nonce musicians
>not actively seeking out noncerock

I used to listen to a bit of Lostprophets, I can't anymore. I just feel uncomfortable listening to the songs.

Thankfully No Devotion is fucking great. Geoff Rickley needs to get back to that

jeez, what a creepy looking fucker
why would anyone let him near their kids

>*Highly controversial thread*
fuck your trigger warnings and beat yourself with a baby's dead arm watch this thread get 2 replies.

Now that im done with that
i heard of LostP in high school when this guy got convicted of baby rape, never liked them before but the guy i thought was handsome before so i was surprised. I like michael jackson and he was accused of pedophilia multiple times, i still enjoy his music today. I dont like phil spector or any convicted pedos other than roman polanski but thats strictly a love for their art.

>polanski
14 year olds don't count
ask jimmy page

Would he do it again bros?

People in the 70s were clueless

He took "did it for the LOLZ" to its logical extreme

...

desu i don't think you should let it affect your enjoyment of their music.

I still listen to The Who.

Pete dindu nuffin

See, now a lot of people still only listed to Michael Jackson even during the trials and overplayed his songs on radio after his death. But he was never found guilty, so in my eyes he's not a pedo.

Ian watkins pleaded guilty and now serving time.

However I believe, musically, my point stands... I think it shouldn't effect how you feel about the music (unless he was singing about his acts. Literally).

Now I'm a little older than you. When I was in high school, his first album had just come out and I followed them from the beginning.

Now, I'm a very nostalgic person. Although, I haven't listened to Lostprophets since he was convicted, Last Train Home played on my old iPod when I found it in a drawer and decided to charge it and take it to the gym... I had old limp bizkit, papa roach, Linkin park, Sum 41, Green Day, My Chemical Romance and more but then Lostprophets came on... honestly, I just enjoyed the track as much as I did when I was a young teen.

My dick gets hard while listening to his music

why did he run to France then?

their music is really good, and the rest of the band arent pedos, but i still feel not totally right when I do listen to them now.

>**I do not condone the acts of Ian Watkins, nor of any of persons who have or intend to commit similar acts. Such acts are disgusting, immoral, illegal and above all- evil. This thread is merely discussing music**
why did you have to put that disclaimer? do you feel guilty about something you do???

>mfw I don't give a fuck if MJ molested kids and it doesn't change my perception

Leadbelly went to Jail for stabbing someone to death and so did varg vikernes. It makes them questionable people but it definitely doesn't change the music itself. It'll put it in a new perspective sure because its now in a newer context but then you learn to separate the artist from the art

same, he could've used them as dick polishers i wouldn't care

I just felt it was important to point out my own viewpoint on the matter. I suppose it should go without saying really.

However I do agree with you, the music was good and I truly felt for the rest of the band. As I said earlier in the thrdad, I hadn't really listened to them since the arrest of Ian but I found an iPod with all my old teenage shit on it, charged it and took it to the gym.. there were about 3 or 4 Lostprophets songs on there and I enjoyed them as I did years ago... to me, it took me back to that time. Before ian was arrested. It was nostalgic because me and old school friends would listen to bands like that at the skate park.

I have the sentencing remarks if anyone wants the juicy details?

Post it

I only started listening after I found out about it

Also to stay on topic I still like MJ, what a person did in their life doesn't devalue their music and you're shallow, thinskinned and illogical if you think otherwise

It's a pdf download

Enjoy

Unless his music actually advocates pedophilia then I have no idea why the fuck it would bother you to listen to it.

I was really hoping to see Lostprophets live until Ian Curtis went to jail for being a literal baby rapist... God damn it, Ian.

Proof if people don't trust the link

wtf i hate joy division now

Yeah wasn't Morrissey a douche

>first paragraph of page 5
Jesus fucking Christ... These 2 deserve to be tortured to death.

Bonkers isn't it
Fame does weird things to people

MEGA LOLZ

But as a front man of a band that contributes lyrics and emotion to the product, can you honestly say you wouldn't be put off knowing the man that is singing those words to you literally plotted to rape a baby?

watch those edges m8

jesus christ

I still listen to "last train home" tome to time, shouldn't have read the transcripts from the trail. He's a sick fuck.

That's so fucked

I had to stop reading this, and I have a high tolerance for fucked up shit. I hope he gets locked in syndrome.

Did it mention that he smoked crystal meth onto a babies face before him having his way with it?

It mentioned an awful lot worse than that. I mean, I knew he was fucked up, but Jesus Christ, this guy is fucked up. The women as well.

It's not just that user, it's that while they are free they can turn around and pay for CP with your money or whatever.
I understand both sides of the argument, but I play the devil's advocate because MJ was a pedo, and whether you like to admit it or not, you can't escape his influence. Even many of this decades' biggest and most praised albums are MJ-influenced. That's just the way the cookie crumbles.

>being this triggered over trigger warnings
aww, do you need a no trigger warnings safe space to go cry in?

Whether or not he's a pedophile, Pete didn't rape an actual, real-life toddler.

MJ wasn't a paedo though

lmao poseurs

>Imagine an artist/band that you were a huge huge fan of but then the front man is arrested for pedophilia... would you NEVER listen to them again?
I would probably want to, but I'd be too disgusted to really enjoy it anymore. That's probably thanks to the projecting I've made on the band and all... I'd feel like an accomplice in a way.

I always love when they talk about roman, not only his parents where genocided, but his wife sharon tate got killed by the manson family, I mean what the fuck? Unluckiest man ever, I mean can you really not say this man is pitiful even if he fucks 14 years old.. holocausted and mansoned... a massacre within the soul... the blood and the horror in his eyes everywhere he goes everything he does and when he has a wife chop chop manson family goes and does. And he sheds a single tear... fuck this is too heavy you see what i mean??

Found the pedo

Varg did nothing wrong, Euronymous had it coming, so did those churches for being built on ancient Pagan places of worship and prayer

i thought triggered meant that you were so frightened by something that you crawled into the fetus because your mind couldn't handle it, not being mad at something unnecessary?

>Varg did nothing wrong, Euronymous had it coming
even so, 23 stabs is 23 stabs and that is not self defense. also you cant burn churches for literally after a millennia after christians conquered and settled. I thoughts pagans were against violence?

Not against violence against followers of invasive, destructive and horrible desert religions that subvert you and try to separate you from your tribe and that has ruined Europe and the world, we will try to revert our fallen brethren back to the true European way but if that fails fuck the Christian Europeans, they can eat shit and die.

Also there were cuts on the bottom of Euronymous' feet, do you really think Varg or any human could be fucked stabbing his feet, something must have broken and Euronymous must have stepped and fallen on it, even so there is something called assurance, if something is a threat you want to make sure they're dead so you stab them or shoot them multiple times, even if you nailed them in the head it's always a good idea to make sure

name 1 contribution to the world made entirely by paganists? Christianity essentially built up Europe and united it but thats a topic for another day.

after 8 stabs his torso would've looked like a red blob.
After 15 red mush, 23 and he's basically stabbing at what is a dead man. Why didn't he stab him in the head once if he "wanted to make sure"? He also pled guilty to killing him while smiling in the courtroom did he not? Smiling because you killed someone shows a lack of remorse or empathy which implies intention to kill or at least that he's unbothered by having killed someone

Actual civilization i.e ancient Greece, Rome, Egypt etc, metallurgy, art, music, comedy, tragedy and almost literally everything that was around in the dark ages until the renaissance, you're forgetting that Christianity is what plunged us in to the dark ages, it took hundreds of years for us to recover and it was only when people started to stop worshiping a jew on a stick.

It's not like he just repeatedly stabbed in one place and he claims they fought for a little bit not to mention he was using a small pocket knife rather than a proper fighting knife and it's kinda hard to stab someone in the right place on a human head to kill them especially when they're trying to fight you off, no shit he pled guilty and I'm pretty sure the smiling was about the church burnings as that was included in his sentencing

Oh yeah, forgot to mention, stabbing doesn't kill instantly depending on where you get them, how big the knife is and the blade geometry

Mega lolz

Wolf in sheeps clothing, the music will always be shit and he was always a psycho cunt

Was he a regular meth user? Meth is like a crazy aphrodisiac, makes it impossible to control your sexual urges. I'm sure he was already fucked up and depraved to begin with, but if he was a regular meth junkie I'm sure it made him 100 times even more fucked up and depraved.

It makes your dick stop working

fuck off roman

Not the meth addicts I've known. It makes them try to fuck just about anything.

I think you're thinking of cigarettes. Meth addicts report staying up for 3 days straight to jerk off for hours.

Na it gives you stim dick. Its the same thing when youre cold and youe dick shrinks because the blood goes to other places in your body.

I'm not sure where you're getting that info from but meth enhances sex drive, lowers inhibitions, and delays orgasm. That's one of the reasons why STDs/HIV is so common among meth users, besides sharing needles, etc.

No it makes your dick shrink up. If youve ever taken an adderall youll experience it the first few times you take it. You need pills or pumps if you want to fuck like a normal person on speed.

>I thought pagans were against violence
What asshole told you that hot steaming lie?

My old roommate was a meth addict and described it to me as making him perpetually horny when he was on it. It's the same thing with other meth users from what I've heard and read. I know aderall's basically meth lite, but I don't know anything about that or other stims, so I don't really know if it's any different or not.

Cool

>be on Sup Forums
>the site that pretty much got trump elected
>trump being a pedophile and child abuser himself
>probably having done even worse stuff than ian

nobody is that appalled. it's mostly just lulzy that a celebrity's life got so fucked up. nobody is going to stop listening to lostprophets for moralfaggotry

Nobody was listening to them except 12 year olds using it as backround noise while on xbox
