well, the reason I commented on Stifled's post was because I don't know if awareness of watkins is as great outside the UK but I figured anybody who once had an attachment to Lostprophets probably caught wind by now

I hadn't heard of that, but I was never a fan of them anyway. That was very disturbing

The lead singer is a disgusting piece of shit, yes. If hes still alive, he hasnt gotten what he deserves yet.

They were one of my favorite bands before that came out though. I still like their music even though he ruined it for the rest of the band.

i mean literally one of the sickest pedophiles i've ever heard of is just beyond reproach for me but each to their own

I'm able to separate music from the people who make it. lostprophets were a great group.

Younger Brother - Train

Fucking adore this song, Simon Posford's best work.

Also the Ian Watkins court transcript is probably the most viscerally gut-wrenching thing I've ever read.

I am to an extent, but lostprophets went way beyond that. Having to remember that they exist more than nullifies any enjoyment I'd get out of their music (which I used to like!)

"I'm able to separate music from the people who make it", congrats? Do you want a gold star or something

Still listening to whatever band/artist that had people that did shitty things is up to you, nobody can stop you from that except you. Boasting about still being able to support the band though, real class act.

The rest of the members made a new band called No Devotion if you really wanted to find a good way to support the rest of the band tbh

Separating art from artists is for when they have an opinion you disagree with or they do shit like cheat on their spouse. At it's most extreme maybe even watching some old Kevin Spacey movies (besides American Beauty cause yikes).

You can be arrogant about it if you want, but the reality is that I was replying to someone who had the pointedly opposite stance. Like does Steiner want a gold star for cancelling a band just because their singer did a shitty thing?

However, I was also unaware of the depths of Watkins's depravity, as highlighted by:

My understanding of the situation was that he had an encounter (or several encounters) with an underage fan backstage, which, while deplorable, is not nearly as dreadful as this.

"oh boo hoo the band got CANCELLED" I literally provided the information of a new band the rest of the members started after Lostprophets collapsed, they did fine.

Also they didn't get cancelled the lead singer was literally convicted and sentenced to something like 30 years for sexual assault of children under 13, and so the band ended. It wasn't some big cancelling conspiracy that was their downfall

The other members starting a new band isn't the point. You're conflating the ongoing career of the band with their past catalog. Regardless, I'm not interested in defending this stance any more.

ok so now you understand why the disgust then, because you didn't know all the facts

i guess i was just surprised this story isn't super common knowledge - it's been front page news here a couple of times and with that in mind the thought that people could just "separate art from artist" in this instance was pretty wild to me

It most definitely was not front page news here. Truthfully, not that many people stateside were fans. Last Train Home and Rooftops were basically the only songs I ever heard anywhere.

Honestly, I think most people are probably only dimly aware because of the Taylor Swift spotify thing.
