      I was a big Lostprophets fan as a teenager, I remember me and a mate had tickets to a HMV signing when Start Something came out and we were about 14 but we overslept and missed the train which in retrospect was probably for the best.

      I guess this means I can very occasionally go back to listening to the band on Spotify without fear of him getting any royalties from it

      This level of loss of control in our prisons is concerning. We really do need more prison funding in this country but lets face it thats always going to be politicaly difficult.

      At least that’s one prison cell extra that would have been taken up for another 30 years

      This is why the death penalty is a mercy for horrendous criminals.

      Let them suffer in prison instead.

      I hope the rest of the band can reclaim their music now that awful nonce is rotting.

      I remember personally speaking with his ex. She had a hard time having to defend herself as he almost ruined her life. It’s scary how awful people like this can destroy the lives of everyone around them.

      I’m glad they’ve taken to clarifying which Ian Watkins it is in the headlines. Lots of unnecessary outrage over the years about steps.

      Imagine going from the top of the world, to being an outcast, serving 35 years in prison, then shanked in the neck.

      Could’ve had it all, but nope.

      Fuck him. But I hate that our prisons systems allows this it’s not about this prick. It’s the innocent person that is killed when we don’t proctect them.

      I don’t like nonces either but I want a prison system which is safe and they’re sentence to their time the way they should be. No rape, no death. Just 4 walls.

      So strange, was thinking of them the other day. Their early songs were bangers, had Shinobi vs Dragon Ninja in my head for the rest of the day without even playing it

      Good riddance to bad rubbish though, justice has been served in the end

      Well my taxes are no longer being used to feed and house that irredeemable subhuman nonce. I have no further comment to make.

      A horrible, horrible man but wtf is going on with the prison service? Can’t they put all the notorious paedophiles, rapists, murderers some where where the dont get killed.

      At least he never got out. Anyway I’m having pizza for dinner, what about you guys

      Amazed it took this long tbh. Nonces get a rough time in prison and he was very high profile, did some utterly depraved things, and at the peak of the band’s success has a messiah complex.

      Saves the treasury some money now they dont need to pay for his bed and board.

      After getting caught disguised as a school, I fully expected to see him quadra-spazzed on a life glug

      This is the one thing we didn’t want to happen

    29. pikantnasuka on

      No loss to the world but I doubt his killer is any sort of hero either

      Feel for the officers who have to deal with it

      Surprised it took this long.

      For those of us who were teens into the early 2000’s when Lostprophets were new on the scene, it’s still an absolute mind fuck that this good looking, straight edge poster boy front man was capable of doing the shocking crimes he did.

      If I read old Kerrang or Metal Hammer articles with this band, I still struggle to link the younger front man to the disgusting, evil person he was alter reviled to be. I owned and really enjoyed their first album.

      Ah well.

      If you were a ‘Kerrang teenager’ in the 2000s/early 2010s, it’s very hard to describe how insane and shocking a story this was. Lostprophets were such a staple of music TV, sold out arenas, won awards, considered one of the staples of British rock music for nearly a decade, and then their singer turned out to be one of the most dangerous paedophiles in recorded British history.
