Im on the fence here, jimmy Saville and Rolf Harris toured hospitals and abused the vulnerable kids and disabled sexually and they had no voice for their trauma also. Was like a shopping centre of choice for them, people involved knew what was going on, covered up and those that tried to speak out were silenced and careers ruined, those brave souls deserve an apology, the BBC knew what they were doing. These facts are brought up in many documentaries on these evil pedos

I'm disappointed that Ian Watkins isn't called out for what he did in the video. You don't have to describe what he did, but not calling him a psychotic pedophile is pretty weak in my opinion. That guy is a monster!

Many things make me angry and sick about Ian Watkins' case. But what makes the situation worse is that his ex girlfriend spent FOUR years trying to bring attention of this to nearly every police department in the UK and was ignored. Even getting responses that she was just a bitter and jealous ex. She even got Watkins to send her disgusting content so she could get evidence to show she wasn't lying. Watkins only got busted in the end because of drug possession. You would think his ex got an apology, but you'd be dead wrong. In fact, police tried to charge her with possession of content with the snapshots and images she had to use as evidence against Watkins. Thankfully the charges were dropped.

McKenzie Phillips: The thing with abusers is that they often abuse in secret and they don't always abuse everyone. Some abusers use the non-victims to build up their reputation in order to facilitate the abuse and to create deniability for the abuse. Also, some abusers simply have a 'taste' for who they want to abuse and who they want to leave alone. It further isolates and traumatizes the victim to have their family say, "You must be lying because nothing happened to me." BTW, check into author Alice Munro.

I'm not saying they are great guys but in my opinion their is a difference between rock and roll drugs and lots of sex versus criminal actions with underage fans. The only accusations I could find in a quick Google search as a refresher were pointing to "rock and roll behaviour". Not illegal acts by other band members but certainly not respectable ones. I also am more defending the fact that their music can still be good without liking the individual themselves. But my understanding was Jacob was the problem and not other band members who as gross as it is, turned a blind eye and enabled him which isn't necessarily illegal or criminal. But I feel like the other members shouldn't be held to the same wronged name if they are talented individuals who just happened to be in the band with a creep and problematic front man. We are each entitled to our own opinions. I also may be on the controversial side of things with separating the music from their everyday lives.

The lead singer was pretty much preaching about loving everybody, caring for the Earth, etc. between songs. I agree with these sentiments, but it felt forced coming from him for some reason. Like he was trying too hard? Needless to say, I was surprised by the news when it came out. Also...the fact that the band broke up IMMEDIATELY after the news came out leads me to believe that not only do they believe that he did those things, but they KNEW he was doing them.

What's crazy is how many of these people got slaps on the wrist for murder or attempted murder. Watkins should have gotten life.

People seem to forget that Axl Rose has a long history of engaging in abusive behavior, and being an all around nuisance to the point that the rest of the band got tired of him and left for a period to form Velvet Revolver

In general, Scandinavia puts more emphasis on rehabilitation than they do retribution. There's some logic to the idea. The American prison system and its lengthy sentences has an insanely high recidivism rate, thanks in no small part to the way ex-cons are treated when they eventually get out. Without some sort of external support network, a lot of them end up reoffending out of desperation. That said, the Scandinavian model tends to fall apart on the more extreme end of the spectrum. While they're pretty good about setting up ex-cons for success upon release, it's hard to argue that the punishment fits the crime when someone serves only a decade for murder and a string of arsons, especially if they clearly hold extremist views.

To say Ian Watkins is a deplorable monster is an understatement. I’ve always felt bad for his former bandmates, whose 15 years of hard work were tainted by the actions of 1 bad egg. If anyone wants to check out his former bandmates’ projects, Lee Gaze and Stuart Richardson are in No Devotion with Geoff Rickly of Thursday, and Luke Johnson is in Lowlives. All the non-criminal members of LP were originally in No Devotion, but Luke broke off for a couple years before forming his new group, and the others have seemingly left the music industry Check out and support No Devotion and Lowlives!

Lost prophets hurt, man.. cried so much while purging their music from my life

Guns and Roses, one of the most iconic hard rock bands of all time, is a band some have come to hate because of their frontman, Axl Rose. Axl and Slash (lead guitarist) allegedly had sex with a 15 year old girl back in 1985; which lead to statutory rape charges. In 1992, Axl was arrested for his involvement in the Riverport Riot. He then recieved a lawsuit from an audience member who was attacked during the ordeal. Axl committed numerous crimes, and was hit with numerous lawsuits throughout his career. These were just his two most infamous misdeeds.

Had to delete all my Lostprophets mp3s. Prison was too good for Ian Watkins.

That might be the most butchered version of Euronymous's name i've heard 😂

It hurts me so much, lost prophets got me through some really dark times in my life, their music was so important to me. The day i found out about Ian Watkins I snapped every cd I had and threw out every piece of merch snd havent listened to them again. I just can't.

But they eventually stopped doing so all together.

was this uploaded because more info came out about when ian got stabbed or is it a coincidence

The thing with Ghaal assaulting people is really a two sided coin. In both cases court determent that Ghaal acted (more or less) in self defense. Seeing he lived his whole life in a small Norwegian comunity. He was the odd ball for most of that time. Yes this man has some issues and some demons to battle. But imagine on top of that, you constanly get bullied. In both cases ppl threatent Ghaal with violance first. He even did get beat up in the past. In those two cases that went to court, he told himself no-more, and made sure they would not even think about starting with/against him again. It was self defense, he just outragesously overdone it in both cases. And the law punished him for it accordingly.

Ian Watkins did ruin beyond anyone else a band feel for the rest of lost prophets and wish the rest of them the best and Ian Watkins is lucky not in America as he'd suffer the rest of his life there in jail

Vince Neil is a big omission from this list especially after he killed someone because of drink driving.

I think something to be mentioned about Mayhem is that no one liked Euronymous. When their member Dead committed suicide, Euronymous went to a store bought a disposable camera and took a photo of it before calling Necrobutcher and said 'Dead has done something really cool! He killed himself'. He literally gave away pieces of Dead's skull afterwards and was the one to encourage Dead to kill himself. Even Necrobutcher had plans to kill Euronymous, he was just beaten to it.

It's inevitable as nothing lasts forever.
