        If you’re referring to Till’s sexual assault charges, they were dropped for lack of evidence. That doesn’t make him innocent, but neither has he been proven guilty.

        I mean, you still can.

        Without getting into the “separating the art from the artist” argument because I’m not nearly smart enough to get into the detail, it’s still a good song.

        The Lostprophets songs like Fake Sound Of Progress and Bring It Down bring me great joy and inspiration when out running, even if Ian Watkins is a colossal cunt.

        e: for those new to the story, please do check which Ian Watkins that Google returns :)

          I got permabanned from Reddit for saying Ian Watkins deserves to die in the least humane way possible, when I appealed I just said " google his name and tell me you don’t agree with me, I’ll wait", a week later I got my account back, even that admin was like " yeah fuck that guy"

          I can’t, literally. It’s now what comes to mind when hearing those songs. They kinda have that abusive dom vibe.

            Vibe? A lot of them just straight up ARE about abusive domination. Do you understand German? “Bück dich” alone could argue your whole point for you.

              Not the one you’re replying, but you’re absolutely right.

              I like PNL’s stuff, but it wasn’t until I picked up more and more French that I realised quite how… descriptive some of the songs were. Probably not the sort of thing you’d hear on daytime radio anyway.

              Ich tu dir weh, Stein um Stein, Wiener Blut, etc.

              All fantastic songs, but I don’t get joy from them anymore unfortunately.
