Wasnt much of a fan but found a couple of early songs alright, i feel like i need to scrub my ears out with a wire brush now. This is pure ****ing evil, plain and simple.
I dont think he should be executed. Have him serve life without parole in general pop, much better treatment. Let him live in fear for the rest of his days and that may be the slightest shred of retribution next to what he did.

But throughout the trial and sentencing and even while imprisoned for a while, her identity was protected. She was denied a new identity on release from prison, and rightly so. So it might happen yet in this case, especially if the children are adopted into another family and have a new life for themselves. It would be a tragedy if those women had any further access to their victims. I do hope that they are officially named.

We'll never know what they knew or didn't know beyond they haven't been charged with committing a crime. His actions will taint them for the rest of their careers , rightly or wrongly. I wish there was a way to stop him earning anymore royalties. I would hate to see this pig released in 10 years sitting on a fortune.Very unfortunate that the mob has turned on the poor lad from Steps who has the same surname.

I am pie wrote: » Have you any concept of perspective? Honestly, it seems like it is an alien concept to you. To me it is more important that: 1. The victims of this terrible crime and their families are protected from further suffering, that we can be compassionate enough to remove this band's albums from general sale to that aim. OR 2. 5 lads who have already made a substantial sum of money continue to make more money from songs sung by one of the most evil and committed wretches the music business has ever seen. I'd rather live in a world where a victim is more important thanks, you go ahead championing the rights of those poor lads to make money off the work of a monster. Knock yourself out. Can they not start a new group, join other groups? Once the trial is over maybe we can start a feed the Lostprophet's 5 campaign or something. Honestly, are you joking?

Shows how fickle you were in the first place. I watched Ian Watkins and the Lost Prophets rise from zero with their self produced first album to become what they did, all the while looking at Ian becoming more and more of a typical, teenrock spa who sees himself as untouchable. The ever more silly succession of trendy emo haircuts and the increasingly poppy (in fairness, it's not like they were slayer to begin with) music and his general douchey, vain demeanor all served to make me hate him and his ****ty band of awful. Then this happened. It's poetic, almost.

And that does not mean I'm inconsiderate to the victims. It means I'm not looking to blame those who had no input on the entire issue.
