Couldn't have happened to a better guy. I hope every second of his life is agony.
On a related note: Loved lostprophets growing up but it is obviously unlistenable at this point (even if Fake Sound of Progress still pops into my head every so often). Any recommendations for bands with a similar sound but not a horrifically evil pedophile involved? Because I love me some numetal/buttrock and lostprophets always had their own vibe that distinguished them from Linkin Park (RIP Chester) and (probably) Hoobastank.
I've never been able to find a band even close to the sound Lostprophets had and it's sad because I just can't bring myself to listen to them again.
Weren't the rest of the band starting a band with the Thursday singer when all this went down?
I didn't bother to check out what came of that as I can't stand Thursday singers voice.
I'm always partial to Thrice as far as that vein goes. Senses Fail is a little more Emo but made it on similar playlists to me back in the day.
I’m not sure if this will scratch the itch or not but give the band Finch a try. I don’t think they’re still together but their album What it is to Burn may do it for you. I actually think their follow up Say Hello to Sunshine is incredible - far better than their debut, but it is also significantly heavier.
LOVED Finch and still listen to a weird (live?) version of What it is to Burn on a regular basis. But very different vibe.
The closest I've found to lostprophets over the years is some of the earlier work by Sim where they basically do ska+numetal. But they've also gone a LOT harder since they became... basically every single anime opening song in existence. Stuff like A and Sound of Breath (and to a much lesser extent, Rosso and Dry) feel like they are no longer something that band has an interest in doing.

I get this, and I'm the same—purged all LP from my library when I learned about this scumbag.
But, I still listen to Michael Jackson!
Can't wrap my head around that.
I mean, I love Smooth Criminal man (no pun intended). That music video is *Chef's kith*.
For anyone who doesn’t know how truly awful this piece of shit is:
Tldr, anyone?

Good. Now, with any luck, he'll heal up so he can go back to prison scared and live in fear of his next attack. And with any more luck, that will happen again, and again, and again, and again....
It sucks that I always really liked some of their music.
Shinobi Vs Dragon ninja was and is an absolute masterpiece. Sadly I don't want to listen to it any more as Ian has ruined any joy I could get out of listening to it since the news of his abhorrent dealings came out.
I was hoping to learn he died in agony, but was disappointed.
Yeah, I’m sad he’s still wasting oxygen.
Idk, he dies and his suffering is over. This way, he can live scared every day just like the kids he abused
It's never too late. He's got to go back to prison, maybe another inmate will take the initiative.
Shit vocalist, too. The band was good despite him, rather than because of him.
I really hope he survives to do this again
Sadly he was trying to acquire a child from my home town and almost succeeded.
