Ultrathread I: Thread of the Year - 2014

[Chicken_Hunter]

I deleted all my lost prophets songs from iTunes. My library has no place for it. Also on the verge of deleting all my as I lay dying songs for what their lead singer did. (Hired a hitman to kill his wife)

 

[sensesmaybenumbed]

It's a personal choice. As I see it, every time I heard the music I'd be reminded of the crimes of one of the people who made it.

Everyone does lousy things at some point in their lives, but Ian Watkins and co.... there's no redemption for that.

 

[Drew-Sta]

I think what Watkins did, pretty much puts me in a similar boat, Drew. I bet it hits home a little more for you having a bub of similar age to some of his victims.
I haven't had anything come up on shuffle yet, but I'd probably skip it.

Yeah, I look at my kid who smiles at me and then I think about what he did and it makes me... well, I can understand murderous rages now. I'm sure SMBN and others feel the same way.

Do the rest of the band deserve that though? I.guess it's a personal choice at the end of the day...

Funeral For a Friend are the better welsh band anyway

This is where it gets hard. The other musicians didn't do anything. So where does that leave them? However, I do know they have closed the band and feel quite rotten due to their association.

I'll check FFaF out

This has helped Thanks gents. I might chuck them now.

If he wrote any of the lyrics then you surely can't listen to it

Being a massive punk rock fan and hating emo it's been great giving mates shit who listen to New Found Glory. After years of telling them the crap was targeted at 12 year old girls.......I was right

So what is todays topic of discussion?

I hope I never know Drew. You could only imagine, and I'm not one to dwell on nasty thoughts if I can help it.

Just a general feeling of contentment from the humble citizens of ultrathread.

Question for discussion. One of my favourite bands for a number of years was LostProphets; a Welsh alt band.

Their lead singer, Ian Watkins, was charged and found guilty of some pretty horrendous pedophilia.

Now, I haven't gotten rid of their CD's I own. I've still got them, but up until the other day I had not listened to their music. On Sunday I cracked their CD for the first time, but felt a little... uneasy.

So my dilemma is - does the actions of Watkins disqualify his music from being played, or is it ok to listen to it despite his involvement?

for mine, his actions warrant the barring of listening to his music..

what he did was unthinkable and completely wrong, and goes to the core of who he really is..

so he can't be both chastised and celebrated for his actions... the bad part outweighs the good...

all lostprophets music gone from casa de muzby.

So I hear inglis is actually a blue

Residents rep teams are just that, residents. I'm sure there are many examples going back in time of blues going through feeder clubs in the qld cup getting selected for the residents side and vice versa

 

[Dragon2010]

Oh, I am 100% on board with coming over there to wreak havoc at some point. My former skinny dipping coach is there and she's been promising to set me up with her Montanan friends since she got engaged and went off the market.

Wooooo. :crazy:

This thread will be judged purely on it's ability to be a BF-free zone.

To late. He crashed it in the posts above. Mis, purge the thread!

If someone from one of my favourite bands raped 1000 women and killed 1000 babies all whilst listening to the entire Nickleback discography, I'd still listen to their music every day.

I'm not sure how enjoying their music is encouraging or supporting them in their cause to be a merkin.

 

[RHCP]

I propose a motion of no two barrel usernames beginning with B.

BM, you can stay (no two barrel usenameS, we're allowed to have one)

it's not encouraging them, per se, but is celebrating their work..

and for me, if someone's moral fibre is that corrupt, then i can't possibly celebrate anything else they do..

every note would be a reminder of the bad stuff they've done..

I could very easily separate the two tbh. I don't think I'd be celebrating anything, merely listening to music I enjoy. The artist's morality has absolutely no bearing on my aural pleasure.

I guess I should add it could be dependent on the crimes and the lyrics though. I mean if someone had raped and killed babies and the lyrics were "I want you so bad baby" or something... I'd probably stop listening to that song :lol:

Just seen some photos of Mis from his latest Naking event, he looks like an Amish hipster...

Lost prophets are a shit band

Would you walk out of a film if they used their music in it? Paul Francis Gadd's music is in movies like The full Monty.
