Listened to Billie Jean while cleaning, wondered what the all time playlist might be.

I imagine Kanye, Clapton, Pink Floyd, James Brown, Ike Turner all make the cut with MJ but I’m curious what Lemmy comes up with!

    Lostphrophets. Quite a few bangers, but it was revealed that Ian Watkins is a turbo-pedo. He’s now in prison, and the rest of the bandmembers formed a new band, wanting nothing to do with him or the old bandname.

      A few years ago I saw a guy at a music festival with a big old Lostprophets tattoo across his upper back. Poor bastard.

      One extra awful thing about Ian Watkins (from South Wales) is that the singer “H” from Steps is also called Ian Watkins and is also from South Wales and because the tabloids at the time didn’t do and due diligence and the published his photo along with the story resulting in significant repercussions H, I think someone even graffitid his front door and received death threats.

      And the first album is gone. Just deleted from existence. I really liked that album. But my god. The depravity of that man.

        That’s not the same at all. I get why you might say that, but not only was it not the singer, but the crimes involved were worlds apart in depravity, and static-x was still together after.

        Seriously, comparing damn near anyone to Watkins is a tough thing. That dude was beyond fucked up and into the deep end of sheer evil. But the rest of it isn’t similar enough to draw the comparison.
