Ruined other members' career? They were in on it, but never got caught. You can see from past interviews they had inside jokes about molesting children. They aren't innocent.
I remember this story. I was 13 to 14 at the time of this story was unfolded. Was never a fan of Lost prophets, but I remember I would watch the new reports, read the online articles and newspapers. I have a few of their albums (which I regret and feel terrible owning them, I would never play them). Good video and I like your voice and how you construct these types of videos. Keep up the great content and wish you all the wellness and care.
Never feel bad for owning the music! We were supporting "the band" not him ad an individual right? Thank you so much for your positive comments, appreciate you watching
A true story to lighten the mood, I used to live in Cardiff and a few months before Watkins got arrested I was in a nightclub called Bogiez (which was the local rock club). Also in there was a guy called Magzy who played guitar for a few of the local hardcore bands. Watkins walks in and then out of no where a slightly inebriated Magzy lunges for and beats down Watkins. A few years later we joked/theorized that Magzy had a premonition of what Ian had done so got his shots in early.
@@sarahsinister Sean smith(singer of the blackout) who was there tells the story as to why Stu beat up ian, basically he was too messed up to play a show on the warped tour, so stu battered him. like sean said "that's for missing one gig, bare in mind they all have kids, if they knew what he was doing they would have pulled his head off he would have been dust". They were trying to fire him for being a junkie but they didn't know how far it had gone.
VIP treatment? Are you having a larf? The prison service has a duty of care to all their inmates whoever they are, and if he was killed or injured, they would open themselves up to both criminal and civil penalties. (and it’s solitary, not solitude!)
The point with Joanna people seem to forget is she signed a NDA agreement and took a payoff, all Watkin's barrister would have had to have done is said "we have written testimony that this witness is lying and unreliable", She removed herself from the witness/evidence pool as an unstable witness.

I never heard of this band and I know a lot of mainstream rock bands. I only heard them because he talked shit about Chester from Linkin Park and that's when I found out what Ian did. It still pisses me off that Chester is gone but Ian is still alive and has a few years before he can leave jail.
rooftops and town called hypocrisy will always be bangers, unfortunately. They will always be tainted by the monster, but can't help but hum the tunes sometimes :( thankyou for doing this been requesting it for ages!
Did also see them at the tender age of 7 years old at glastonbury in 2004😂 don’t remember it at all but when ian watkins was in the news it jogged my parents memory
Oh wow. I’m a recovering alcoholic and addict drug of choice (meth) and never once has the thought of doing anything to children other than try and raise them to be better than myself. I heard the name Lost Profets but can’t recall the music. I’m a former orchestral musician and love hard rock/heavy metal music. And my musical tastes range from everything in between. Don’t know of this band or frontman. I’m still not sure how you do this Sara but regardless of the difficulty you make it enjoyable so thank you. 🤘🏻💥🔥🙏🏻
Please please please don't take anything I said as an attack. Dr.ugs can alter the mindset, but I do not believe it can cause someone to be a predator. I have so much respect for you and your recovery. I think Ian was consumed by power and the ability the get anything from anyone, I doubt he's the only one out there who is famous, like I say; he's sober and still up to horrific things; so for him, I don't think it was ever the influence of substance Thank you for sharing with me, thank you for watching and your support
@@sarahsinister oh definitely not. You’re an angel, as far as I’m concerned for doing this type of content. I was merely commenting my personal experience with said elicit substance. It’s absolutely true that it has the ability to change a person’s personality and make them do things they might not normally do otherwise. It can, and more often than not, amplify people’s feelings, emotions, desires. Thanks again
@SteveCoronado2 thank you, you're so kind. That's interesting to have first hand knowledge, if it amplified his desire, it was always likely there right? -shudder- he's vile.
I’m sure most addicts never did anything like that - I don’t really think it’s related and he must have already been like that. Congrats to you on getting clean and sober!
I would agree other than theft which people commit to finance their addictions, Most addicts do the damage to themselves not other people. Doing drugs doesn't make you a pedo, but certain drugs, like meth, can make you hypersexual and lower your inhibitions
I recall Lost Prophets getting filled-up plastic bottles getting thrown at them on stage at Ozz-Fest 2002 in the UK. Not the band's fault, but Ian... What an Awful Person, indeed!
15:59 that photo was taken a month after his worst act. it was taken in late may 2012 and labrinth was not on the same session as lostprophets on that horrible day. when i saw a photo of the april 2012 session, it said april 4th 2012 which means it was a day AFTER it had happened. the world can be very confusing.
WOW. I’ve never heard such evil deeds in my 44 years. Ian is evil in the flesh. Even the hardest of criminals don’t hurt babies and children. Karma is real & it will repeatedly punish him as it should. I’m going to hex TF out of him. I’m so disturbed I need to go walk in nature and reground my soul. Great video Sarah. That had to be taxing on your soul to research this chomo monster. 🙏🙏🙏 LOVE & LIGHT BEAUTIFUL💖💖💖
I'm so sorry it has affected you so much. I appreciate you watching and getting through it, complete and utterly healing and happy vibes from me to you ❤️ Love & light
These mothers are just as despicable. How can you betray your own child. I'd unalive anybody who tried to hurt my child. It's very disturbing that IW was grooming another mother. He's showing no remorse. Sickening. Those prisoners should be applauded.
@ukmary1968 I agree with you, if he reformed in prison I could believe it was substances for a little bit. But he continues to offend with some type of god complex, it was always him.
I discovered Lostprophets when I was looking up a video by a content creator called Savox. It was called Most Evil Musicians and it featured Ian Watkins. Coincidentally, yes I have both that monster's first name and their final drummer surname (Luke Johnson). But anyway, before I discovered the band, I use to hear it's songs at varied corners not knowing the actual name. I used to think that the name Lostprophets sounded like a garage band. But, I later learned they toured Ozzfest and opened for/shared the stage with bands such as Metallica, Slipknot, Linkin Park (the late singer of that band clearly knew something was going on with Watkins) and Deftones. 2b fair, the actual music of Lostprophets isn't that bad. There are a lot of bands like this. Like Fuel or Sevendust. There are other bands that ended up breaking up or do not have nearly the biggest success of others such as Fall of Envy, Slow Roosevelt (from my native U.S. state of Texas) and Breaking Point. Anyway again, 2b fair I actually think Lostprophets's music was pretty good and Ian Watkins was actually a decent singer. But, he did let himself become a piece of trash. It's a good thing the other band members got a 2nd chance. As far as I last saw reported most of them are working on their recent project No Devotion (namely bassist Stuart Richardson [who I might add ended up punching that demon Watkins in the face], lead guitarist Lee Gaze along with a new singer [can't remember his name {possibly Geoffrey something, something, something}]). No guess what rhythm guitarist Mike Lewis is currently doing. The guy behind the keyboards Jamie Oliver, now works in the painting industry. And Lostprophets's final drummer, still currently has his job as a session musician.
I listened Lostprophets 4 about a year before finally deciding, the music was too desecrated for me to continue. And I usually listen to a lot of bands which people are conditioned to judge. I'm not talking about bands such as Slayer, Judas Priest or even Cannibal Corpse. I'm talking about bands such as Mayhem (who themselves have their own history) and Behemoth (who's frontman is a Satanist, but other than that, they are all normal guys trying to make a living).
I always thought his band were rubbish, and although he was arrogant, I could abide by him. But to know he's done this, it just really sickens me to the core, and makes his band's 'music', even worse. Furthermore, his bandmates knew all about this - I can't believe they didn't.
It’s just horrific, I remember it at the time. I just hope that because those babies were so young they are ok and not traumatised. I hope they eventually got adopted by nice people. It definitely sounds like Joanna did her best and it’s not her fault she was ignored.
Joanna could have saved so many potentially over the years, but was wrongly silenced. I hope they grow up without knowing, but it may feel like a terrible nightmare.
@@sarahsinister Yes I guess even if they have been adopted by lovely people they will eventually want to know what happened with their biological mothers 😞
@@sarahsinister Wait Joanna signed a NDA agreement and took a payoff, all watkin's barrister would have had to have done is said "we have written testimony that this witness is lying and unreliable", She removed herself from the witness/evidence pool as an unstable witness.
How on earth can you be defendant of a monster like this? A baby!!!!! That makes me so sick I feel naucious and faint at the same time. I don’t care who your childhood idol was, idolatry is wrong first of all, and there is no excuse for pedos. Non.
Thanks for the video, I know literally nothing about this band, not sure I was keeping up with the charts etc around this era. He sounds like a despicable character, abusing his fame etc. I'm pretty sure smoking meth doesn't make you do these horrendous crimes. I won't be checking them out after watching this video, as you said, a shame for the other band members and he and his co conspirators deserved more time, as far as I can see. Cheers Dave.
Thank you for watching Dave, it's probably best you don't know anything about them... sometimes I'll be humming one of their songs and have to stop myself!!! No amount of drug use caused him to do what he did, I wanted to be fair and list things that could have influenced his character, but honestly, nothing provokes that but 'you'. Thank you for watching!
Great job keep up all the hard work and it will pay off one day. I like you more after you were brave enough to put this out there knowing the blowback you'll get. I admire you for standing on your opinion even though some will hate over it. You have earned a huge fan.
Thank you Joseph. I have covered a few cases now but this is the only one where people get very angry at me for talking about it. It's okay though as I know he still has a following, but, he admitted everything, he continues to do "bad things" and there's a transcript easily avaliable online! Thank you for watching and continuing to support the channel!
I still listen to Lostprophets till this day. I just can't seem to escape the catchy music and the 2000s feels it gives me despite my hatred for Watkins and what he did. The band should of fully replaced Ian for Jamie instead of that shitty american singer. Im am forever heart broken by watkins crimes its honesty disappointing the band ended in tragedy.
It is so devastating, the band wrote the music and lyrics but we can't escape he was the face and the voice. Really ruined the whole band, their careers and the lives of many Thank you for watching
@@sarahsinister They were actually trying to kick him out of the band before he got arrested Sean smith of the blackout or aled phillips of kids in glass houses would have taken over. Apparently its harder to fire someone from a band however due to how interconnected the contracts are.
@lewisb85 oh really! It's a shame it was already tarnished for them to continue, I am glad the rest of the band have a new band; but when they wrote the songs it sucks for them
@@sarahsinister actually, Ian was the chief songwriter of all of their music, and they’re in lies the rub. If they had continued, he would have still gotten paid royalties for songwriting. That is the reason they could not continue.
I have uploaded a couple of shorts on the updates, but the best and most in-depth read into this is the book that's just come out about the prison! He's not very well liked in there...
Wow, just wow. I knew he did some bad s**t but I didn't realize it was this extensive. LostProphets was definitely up there in my high-school years for what I'd listen to and every once in a while they come across my Playlist. Ian is definitely a huge pos with everything he's done but it makes no sense to throw not only his life away but destroy the credibility of his band mates. As hard and disturbing as this content was to make thank you for giving the details of it.
Thank you for watching, it is awful truly. He used his position of power for evil, a lot of people idolised him and I still don't think are few can believe it...
I used to be such a huge fan of lost prophets but don’t listen to them anymore for obvious reasons, such a shame as they had some amazing songs, remember seeing them in Glasgow way back in 2012 a year before he got arrested, such a waste of perfectly good talent but saying that hope he rots in jail
He had talent for sure, sadly he also had a talent for being an awful awful human. Devastating for all of those he hurt and those who got hurt as consequence. Thank you for watching
sometimes I wonder if it's OK to like someone's work, even if the person is bad. Paul Gadd also did terrible crimes, but they were unrelated to Gary Glitter's music
Its so difficult isn't it? For example in this case; its the band I would listen for, but, knowing all of the terrible things that he, the frontman did. Its ruined it for me now.
Stu said IW missed a show and that he beat him and crushed a can on his head. Joanne is problematic. There's a disgusting video if her bragging about using and intercourse. Ian is a piece of garbage. He should be under the jail. I'm shocked it took 10 years for the prisoners to attack 🤷
Hi Sarah, this comment is not related to this video but I wonder what you think to the subject of religion? I am no longer convinced in the supernatural, gods and demons, that sort of thing. I was raised Christian but researched and concluded there was insufficient good evidence for the claims. I wondered what you view is over this subject. Thanks Alice
@@sarahsinister Thanks Sarah for the reply. I'm simply unconvinced by the claims of the believers. I see no evidence for anything other than this natural world.
This is just one of the most horrible cases ever. I believe there were bigger monsters (like Charles Manson), but this is just so disgusting, so horrible and so unforgiving… it makes my blood boil. I honestly feel very bad for the victims, for Ians family, for the other members of Lostprophets… and though I can still listen to Liberation Transmission … I really try to not think of Ian, even though he is a big part of that album. But sometimes it really is hard to swallow listening to those songs without thinking about him. As much as I always try. Because he truly is a horrible person
You have to try and displace the artist from the music right? It's hard to do when we know of his awful crimes. He definitely used his position of power for evil, least its unluckily he will be out ANY time soon Thank you for watching
I think he was. He said his sex abuse was “megalolz” at the end of his conviction. He’s got absolutely no remorse for what he’s done. And it seemed that he got alot of joy and pleasure from what he done. So yeah he’s definitely sadistic.
You said that those women were manipulated. There is more in this I think. If you drug your baby child and let another person rape him or her you must be equally as sick as the perpetrator. A sane mother cant be manipulated to do this to her child. There must be some kind of mental sicknes behind this. Or drugs. Or both.
Manipulated by power and fame. Its the celebrity complex, when people feel close to someone famous they act irrationally, HOWEVER, they deserve the same sentencing as Ian (even though one is already out apparently). They put their innocent babies into harms way and there's no forgiving that.
@toddcont6469 No, this woman* researches a crime for sometimes weeks, gets it all in a timeline, writes a script, films a video, and then edits it all by herself.
*_Okay, so I just had to check out the song rooftops and see if I ever heard it before, because you said that everyone loved this song otherwise they are lying. I just heard it for the first time and even if I would have heard it before I wouldn't have liked it. It's not catchy imo._*

A true story to lighten the mood, I used to live in Cardiff and a few months before Watkins got arrested I was in a nightclub called Bogiez (which was the local rock club). Also in there was a guy called Magzy who played guitar for a few of the local hardcore bands. Watkins walks in and then out of no where a slightly inebriated Magzy lunges for and beats down Watkins. A few years later we joked/theorized that Magzy had a premonition of what Ian had done so got his shots in early.

Thank you for watching
I saw a story the other day . Some prison justice was served up to this creature. Not sure how he survived 😡
I have uploaded a couple of shorts on the updates, but the best and most in-depth read into this is the book that's just come out about the prison! He's not very well liked in there...
@@sarahsinister I'll check it out
Why are there no videos of Ian Watkins being interviewed about his crimes?!
Celeb status I think, awful right?
Wow, just wow. I knew he did some bad s**t but I didn't realize it was this extensive. LostProphets was definitely up there in my high-school years for what I'd listen to and every once in a while they come across my Playlist. Ian is definitely a huge pos with everything he's done but it makes no sense to throw not only his life away but destroy the credibility of his band mates. As hard and disturbing as this content was to make thank you for giving the details of it.
Thank you for watching, it is awful truly.
He used his position of power for evil, a lot of people idolised him and I still don't think are few can believe it...
I used to be such a huge fan of lost prophets but don’t listen to them anymore for obvious reasons, such a shame as they had some amazing songs, remember seeing them in Glasgow way back in 2012 a year before he got arrested, such a waste of perfectly good talent but saying that hope he rots in jail
He had talent for sure, sadly he also had a talent for being an awful awful human.
Devastating for all of those he hurt and those who got hurt as consequence.
Thank you for watching
sometimes I wonder if it's OK to like someone's work, even if the person is bad. Paul Gadd also did terrible crimes, but they were unrelated to Gary Glitter's music
Its so difficult isn't it?
For example in this case; its the band I would listen for, but, knowing all of the terrible things that he, the frontman did. Its ruined it for me now.
Can't lie, a town called Hypocracy was really catchy
Noone ever take about the song 'sway', iv always wondered why ?
I don't think I know about it at all!
Those digusting 'mothers'.
And yet we can find some of his music here on YT
Quite a lot, hopefully it only pays his band members
Hope his superfans rot in prison
One mother is already out :/
22:00 yup!
Stu said IW missed a show and that he beat him and crushed a can on his head. Joanne is problematic. There's a disgusting video if her bragging about using and intercourse. Ian is a piece of garbage. He should be under the jail. I'm shocked it took 10 years for the prisoners to attack 🤷
Hi Sarah, this comment is not related to this video but I wonder what you think to the subject of religion?
I am no longer convinced in the supernatural, gods and demons, that sort of thing.
I was raised Christian but researched and concluded there was insufficient good evidence for the claims.
I wondered what you view is over this subject.
Thanks
Alice
I am personally agnostic, I believe in something "more" but not a God or higher power in that way!
@@sarahsinister Thanks Sarah for the reply. I'm simply unconvinced by the claims of the believers.
I see no evidence for anything other than this natural world.
Dude the court documents made me f*cking sick!!!!!!!
and could remove Public Enemy as they are a legendary rap band.
I feel compelled to point out, there are valid reasons for murder. But what IW did? Heinous
This is just one of the most horrible cases ever. I believe there were bigger monsters (like Charles Manson), but this is just so disgusting, so horrible and so unforgiving… it makes my blood boil.
I honestly feel very bad for the victims, for Ians family, for the other members of Lostprophets… and though I can still listen to Liberation Transmission … I really try to not think of Ian, even though he is a big part of that album.
But sometimes it really is hard to swallow listening to those songs without thinking about him. As much as I always try. Because he truly is a horrible person
You have to try and displace the artist from the music right? It's hard to do when we know of his awful crimes.
He definitely used his position of power for evil, least its unluckily he will be out ANY time soon
Thank you for watching
Was Ian a Sadist?
I think signs suggest he was, he liked 'innocent victims' he also planned horrific things so, yes, I think so
I think he was. He said his sex abuse was “megalolz” at the end of his conviction. He’s got absolutely no remorse for what he’s done. And it seemed that he got alot of joy and pleasure from what he done. So yeah he’s definitely sadistic.
Do you think you know who the 'mothers' were?
Their names were listed once, but I couldn't find them when I researched this!
Lost prophets more like ear cancer
monster
You said that those women were manipulated. There is more in this I think. If you drug your baby child and let another person rape him or her you must be equally as sick as the perpetrator.
A sane mother cant be manipulated to do this to her child.
There must be some kind of mental sicknes behind this. Or drugs. Or both.
Manipulated by power and fame. Its the celebrity complex, when people feel close to someone famous they act irrationally, HOWEVER, they deserve the same sentencing as Ian (even though one is already out apparently). They put their innocent babies into harms way and there's no forgiving that.
Is this women just reading the script of every other case about this sicko
..
@toddcont6469 No, this woman* researches a crime for sometimes weeks, gets it all in a timeline, writes a script, films a video, and then edits it all by herself.
@@sarahsinisterrespect!
15:08 ngl but i highly doubt 14 year old fans of him were 'innocent'
*_Okay, so I just had to check out the song rooftops and see if I ever heard it before, because you said that everyone loved this song otherwise they are lying. I just heard it for the first time and even if I would have heard it before I wouldn't have liked it. It's not catchy imo._*
So many drugs in rock...
Fern Cotton keeps quiet...
I believe she made a very small statement but, yeah, she never did get involved with this...
Going be great video my friend ❤👊 everyone make sure hit likes share sub guys
