@@katygaston8777 my dad and lees dad were best mates my dad died in 2011 I was in school with lee he’s a very grounded and normal hardworking boy . He was litterpicking at one point but we all knew he was destined to be a rock star ⭐️
@@coolname8133 the problem is HE will and never will acknowledge it. He will never accept his guilt. That doesn't change their musical achievements at all though. He will die in total denial
Just enjoy the music he is just one member of an entire group that made these awesome songs and records, what he did in his private life its another story.
@@ottokeyboards Would you say that if it were your baby he abused or is it just because it was someone else’s child? It’s kind of hard to just enjoy. This still sucks.
@@becazapatero2477 It was and IS an extremely complicated case. Most idiots brag about being gangsters, bank robbers etc. for someone to 'brag' often falsely about being a paedophile simply doesn't make sense, unless you understand his psychopathology. What he actually 'did' will never be known. Never.
@@patriceaqa288 Wait, did you actually follow the case evidence or are you just going by news clips? Not trying to be rude. I’m genuinely curious. Are you aware of the evidence presented in court?
@@becazapatero2477 I know that Watkins' face or voice was never on camera. I also know that Sally O Neill told him 10 years outin maybe 4-6 if he pled guilty to lesser charges. The 29-35 sentence was SO unexpected you couldn't believe it. If he could turn the clock he'd have pled 'not guilty' and maintained that plea, and likely received a lesser sentence. Not one person in recorded UK law since 1985 has received over 20 years for 'baby rape' not ONE. He was a B/C level celebrity at best and they threw the book at him because it wasn't really the 'video' it was all his mad textx emails etc which made people believe he had sinister intent beyond comprehension. Was he evil? Maybe. But he continues his harsh sentence because he'll never ever say 'I was guilty' or 'I'm a paedophile.' Never
This must have been around the time it was all happening. Sun glasses on to hide the drugged up eyes, can hardly hold his notes without losing his breath from all the drugs and smoking Shame on you Ian
@@matthewhigson1232 I read the bass player gave him a black eye when it all came out about his evil ways. He surely wouldn't have been performing then??
@@Itsliz1984 No he got a black eye for missing a show on the warped tour to get high in another city. He was arrested 3 times in 2012 for drug supply, possession and smuggling and the 3rd time there was an allegation of having an Image of a kid, which he convinced the band was a fake report from a crazy fan. The police bailed him the third time with a police escort to finish the UK run of shows but they were searching his devices during that time. In December they found the photos, videos and messaging history on his devices and he was arrested again and this time he was held in prison on remand until his trial so nobody could have got to him once that was revealed.
makes me sad to know about what he did. even worse to know that at the moment he was doing this warped tour, he was already doing that shit for a time. non the less this music helped me trough many bad times in my life (and still does). I really wonder why such a talented writer and musician becomes something so bad, would it be because of the drugs or would it just be a demon that was already hidden for a long time inside him? well we will never know i guess
Wake up!!!!!! Drugs don't suddenly turn you into a pedophile that rapes babies. Anyone who reads the court transcripts will be sick to their stomach. I was a fan of his and still like the music, but he was, is, and will always be an incredibly sick demented evil monster. He is extremely manipulative, and has shown no remorse for the depraved crimes he's committed. He's still trying to manipulate women from behind bars. A young woman recently had her daughter removed from her care because of it. He should never be released back into society.🤮
@@rorz999 RIght. Getting blackout drunk and puking is stupid. The stuff Ian did is possibly the most evil things you can even fathom, which was probably his goal. He seemed to take pleasure in being sadistic.
Unbelievable, I'll bet if it was a child or baby in your family that he drugged and violated you wouldn't be asking yourself if you should forgive him.
Regardless of what he did, the guy had talent and a good voice. I remember seeing them on MTV headbangers ball....hahahaha. (Im showing my age) Man those were good days ;)
Bill Patrick Jones well in about 32 years he might but let's hope the stories of what happens to pedophiles in prison is true because then he won't come out.
@@Itsliz1984same. I think he'll either die before he's served his sentence, or more years will get added for other things (his sentence has already been extended by 10 months). If he's ever released it's really hard to picture how he'll live out the rest of his days... I don't think he even has any money left as apparently he'd spent everything he had on drugs in the final few years before getting arrested
I’m going to guess this comment takes into consideration that before he hurt those kids, he was himself a victimized kid. That’s probably what messed up his head and got him interested in that nasty endeavor.
nope, its the autotune generation of musicians..also drug and alcohol abuse and bad vocal technique and intensive touring all deteriorate the voice, if it was any good to start with. I have only heard the albums and not esrly live stuff.
He was actually really good at singing (if a bit inconsistent live-understandable given how hard many Lostprophets songs are to sing) up until he started doing drugs, however after he started doing drugs (again) on July 30, 2007 the resonance just disappeared from his voice, his vocals started to sound really forced and unhealthy, he couldn’t hit the high notes he used to, etc.

Bill Patrick Jones are you really? Have you found out anything interesting? I wonder what happened to him to make him such a monster.
Can you tell us something,i mean maybe some information about his lostprophets years
He used to run a coffee shop that I sometimes went to in London. Shame it went out of business. It was one of the best places around. 😢☕️

amazing version, i dont care what people says, lostprophets is my fav band, always all ways c:
Hell yeah. Memories incarnate. Lost Prophets got me through Foster Care many times when I was little, so I don't really care what people say.
What are people saying? Lol.

Hola
I just can't believe it. It still hasn't hit me. This guy was my childhood and to know he abused a minor is just unbelievable

2022 still rocking 😁😁
Still in prison, if not dead.
Why Ian. I miss lostprophets
Madness.
AMAZING VERSION OF THIS! LOVE IT!!!
fucking amazing! just got to try look past it as difficult as it is! prophets made some amazing music
Ricer_forestersti yep agreed.
If it were your kids or relatives that he abused would you still try to look past it or would that be the line you wouldn’t cross with it?
2023 and still rapping 😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭

Shame on you Ian
No it went on for years.
@@jasongrooming36 yes I know this. But he looks terrible so it must have when things got REALLY bad
The bass player gave him a black eye on the American legs of this tour I suspect it was to hide that, he was always on drugs and never hid his eyes

Forget about him. Lets just enjoy the good music

Some of the Most charismatic vocalist of all time
Axl Rose
Ian Watkins
Well he ruin himself.
Apart from his behavior I love thier music.
Umm there are many more great voices who aren’t grapists
What are the chords ?
Ian is amazing. I wish he would make a comeback
Fallen boy(((
Anyone know what brand his cap is?
Baby Fucker INC? Something like that.
Child Molester Inc.
Army of the dead
WHATS IAN WATKINS, FAVOURTE CHORD, A MINOR!!!
You’re disgusting
Natalie Grant you have a boring sense of humor.
Best pedo rock star of all time!!!
Regardless of what he did, the guy had talent and a good voice. I remember seeing them on MTV headbangers ball....hahahaha. (Im showing my age) Man those were good days ;)
A good voice? Are you deaf? He sounds like a dead cat. I like LP's music but his voice is garbage.
@@amya.3174 Hater
Adam Sandler singing?!
The creep looks a bit chunky here. Lee is a brilliant guitarist. They were a great band of musicians except for one.
lmao
Ian definitely put on some weight near the end of the band!
Has anyone tabbed this out?
Check ultimate guitar tabs
the voice amp is ... regrettable
Such a wasted Talent to do the most disgusting things on earth. And he was my idol once. Still a great song though.
When ur out you'll be what 50 something I'll be like 30 something ....
shanna angelina he'll be 65, 55 on good behaviour, however he hasn't showed any remorse yet
Maybe the band will do a reunion tour by then lol
