It's more about the way he laughed when he realised 'baby girl' asked it
OH NO
It's disturbing how normal he seems but knowing what he's capable of. Just vile. Also, the one in the middle is an annoying ogre.
Well said, you get a like from me!
really, we all know that disturbing people NEVER come off as normal. shame on him.
+Cristina Georgina i think the ogre knew
+pukeyourguts I think so too...
+pukeyourguts He did know go to 6.20 he says baby girls is Ian's guilty pleasure.
He had it all and blew it - literally.
He broke my 💗💔
I enjoy listening to LostProphets for the musical talent and great songs they have
But that’s as far as it goes for me
What Ian Watkins did was evil and disgusting & he should suffer for eternity for his crimes
But the rest of the band doesn’t need hate for it
@@jdx1687 I agree they don't deserve hate I really feel for the rest of the band it's super unfair for them to have to suffer for what one person did!
@@AN-zz8ps I wonder how different things would have turned out if Watkins got psychiatric treatment instead of acting on his sick and evil urges?
@@jdx1687 oh I KNOW! I really wish he would have gotten help instead of acting on his sick urges that would have been SO much better for everyone involved! It's SUCH a shame! :(
It's scary that right at this point in time he is an active demon abuser
It sucks that Chris Cornell and Chester Bennington are gone, but Ian Watkins and Dahvie Vanity are still alive. 😥
Yep. There's two video's of Ian calling Chester "A fucking tit and a cock" as well. Chester's and Chris's lives were worth a hell of a lot more than Ian's is.
sucks that ur boring and realistic too
Yes, that REALLY socks. Bummer.
6:20 "babygirl asks what's your guilty pleasure?" Jesus christ the irony of that.
And he replies 'just answered it'. Gives me chills every time.
Kay Wood
I know right and that fucking grin when he looks at the camera and goes "Did he just say that?!" and immediately moves on. It's crazy to think he was capable of shit like this.
a7xmcrislife I know that he does actually say heroin just before they repeat the question and that's what he's talking about , not the name, but it's a horrible coincidence
He's basically confessing 😱
@@trippyheather He's not, actually. He says "I've just answered it."
don't do drugs (or babies)
Better yet, don’t do both. Ever!
9.19 ..the one in the middle "ive seen all the videos"..ian freakkins "oh we're going to the dark place"......suddenly that bit of convo has a whole new sinister meaning.
9:19
Exactly
He keeps looking at him for his approval or to see if its OK every time he answers a question
He has that ted bundy look....
They are all seem weird
LOL💯
Ian is the most weird and disgusting of them all. I apologize for the remaining members, they don’t deserved to be bashed and attacked, I only bashed Ian and rightfully so.
"Baby girl asked whats your guilty pleasure?" (IAN)="You just answered it-people are watching like, did he say~" (MIDDLE GUY)="I didnt hear ya."( IAN)="thats good,I was just joking.'" (BLONDE GUY)="No you're not"
The blonde guy looks so disgusted
@Audy Stl even if that is what happened you know what the guy did right? 💀
@Audy Stl usually psychopaths like to hide in plain site and hint at the bad things they do.
@Josh Gaspar idk if ur joking but all of them are talking abt heroin, absolutely NOT to defend the nonce but its not babies they're talking abt
Yep.. nobody in that band spoke up because they were all enjoying the highs of being famous
apparently the guy in the middle has seen all his videos.
And he keeps looking at him 😮
Actually he did say heroin before he said I just answered it
i actually agree with you, if people watch it carefully you'll see Mike ask the question first, to which Watkins replies "Heroin", then Stuart asks the question again to Watkins and you can hear him say "i just answered it" referring to his drug abuse, i think the press are looking for something that isn't actually there which isn't very fair on the other band members as its coming across as though there hiding that scum bags dirty secret
kiely 456 I do not want to advocate his way of thinking at all, but you are totally 100% right. He was laughing about the fact that he said 'heroin', not the 'baby girl' reference, and then repeated 'smack' quieter. Some tabloids print what they think they can get away with...
ian's body language is so secretive and scared. really upsetting
Rip Chester isn’t it random he was onto people like Ian before he died 😢 no wonder they didn’t get on
Wait he was unto ian
@@deadchannel89 I’m not sure about ian but he was on to the ones in Hollywood, guess we will never know now…
@@mslemons7520 no he wasn’t
Ironically yes him and Ian had a feud like back in the early 2000s I believe and he hated Ian, and I remember him discussing it after Ian was arrested
Chester was sadly assaulted as a kid and has always been vocal about abusers in the scene since LP started
The rumors about him being murdered for uncovering sex abuse are ridiculous
@@nicolassosa9766 chill out. I didn’t say any of it was true it’s just something I heard! And found It a coincidence he didn’t get on with Ian that is all
CPTSD :(
I honestly feel like if jimmy saville was still alive right now none of the stuff would have come out about him therefore the police wouldn't have one pedo mad and Ian would be still out there now getting worse and worse. They were told in 2008 and did nothing what's the point in plucking up the courage to go to the police if they won't help you or take you seriously. I loved lostprophets and I thought Ian was a great guy. He's such a joker so back then when pedo wouldn't have come across your mind you would just always presume he's messing or not even notice what he is actually saying. Ian was a very clever man he knew what he was doing he knew how to act and he was what everyone wanted him to be now he is in prison for 35 years and his whole life is ruined. I just feel like the serious matter here is nobody should just presume someone is good as I've sure learnt that lesson
The blonde guy is not amused!
You mean Lee Gaze
Its crazy how fucking guilty people look when you know what they've done. But if you don't suspect it, you wont notice it.
That thing on the left chewing sounds and looks disgusting.
Not looking too great yourself, Melanie. As its 4 years ago I'll just hope you're not such a judgemental arsehole anymore
@@libby1977 "Yeah, lady don't insult the poor guys who only got to have sex with underage groupies instead of a literal toddler like Ian got to do. You're being judgmental."
6:15 "Baby girl, what's your guilty pleasure?" Ian: "You just answered it" < Fucking disgusting. Hope he stays in prison for good.
Ian is absolutely vile and can get stoned to death for all I care, but that's not what was said. A few seconds earlier, Ian responded to the guilty pleasure question with "heroin" but nobody heard him. Then when the question was repeated he laughs and says "I just answered it, people watching are going "did he just say that?"" Then a few seconds later he repeats the answer by saying "smack." So as gross and disgusting as he is, I think that was meant as a drug reference, not a reference to his horrifying secret hobby.
Then he said “ I’m only joking” and the blonde guy clearly says “no you’re not”
@@Snotzalotz You missed it. He said "heroin". And then said "I just answered it, i'm only joking"
38:22: brain from family guy, i think you meant Herbert the pervert
40:30 -- It's insane that Luke quickly said to an online user "piss off you nonce", having apparently no idea that he was sitting just a few feet away from one of the worst nonces of all time.
9:00 seems very sketchy...
11:39 the talk about babies is making Ian think to himself 😳
He was probably in the process of an erection.
Genuinely had no idea that was Messi in Lostprophets
Um, around 9mins they begin to talk about Ian's past girlfriends and then one of the other band mates (Stu?) mentions there are loads of others and that he has seen the videos and Ian say 'We're going to the dark place' and the Stu replies 'next question...' /: i hope he wasn't in on it/knew any aspect of what was going on....
I was far more alarmed by 8:58 than the obvious "Heroin" "BabyGirl" misunderstanding.
"I've seen all the videos.. you don't even know.."
Wow
0:17 'One of the greatest UK rock bands ever.' Comedy gold! 🤣
I have respect for the rest of the band and wouldn't even want to think that they had any involvement but 9:00 to 9:20 sounds a lot like they knew about the entire thing and how he filmed his acts and in the end he says "going to the dark place" and they change topic...
I noticed this too very odd indeed.
probably just groupy vids. The band showed no reaction toward Ian, to the guilty pleasure question which is an indication they werent aware of his extreme proclivities
@@callusdoc can you link me that sounds pretty interesting
@@callusdoc got any proof or you just randomly putting that here ?
same. dude in the middle knows
Blonde guy looks like he was the only decent one in the band..
Ian Watkins' GUILTY pleasures are infants, toddlers, and pre-teens.
40:31 Not sure if anyone else noticed this, but Ian Watkins basically has a mini heart attack at what Luke Johnson said here. Definitely struck a nerve, and his guilty conscious immediately went into overdrive and he shat bricks over it.
Great spot.... Never noticed that! I don't believe that whole guilty pleasure part as I think they were talking about heroin, but this is undeniable!
Doesn't matter, he's been convicted now, 30 years minimum, he's finished, that's if the guards/ prisoners don't finish him already
Well I can assure you one thing, Ian hasn't sat down in a chair ever since his conviction. All that soap dropping he does in the showers and them knowing what he's in there for, damn son his booty gotta be the size of a dinner plate by now lmfao! Oh and don't forget when he got 10 months extra to his sentence for sticking a phone in his coit 🤣💀
@@FiveDORRA The guards won't do that, they are protecting from this in the first place.
@@hypocrisyisnotbetterthancaring guards are not innocent, they take huge bribes, it's in the news All the time
LISTSEN TO WHAT IAN SAYS
"Babygirl asks; Whats your guilty pleasure?"
Ian: *laughs* "Just answered it... people watching are like 'did he just say what I think..."
he actually said heroin before that. listen closely. the question was asked twice. he said "heroin" the first time, then they ask the question again more clearly, and he says "I just answered it". not to defend this suck fuck. just saying what happened
The the blonde guy after Ian said, I’m just joking clearly says “no you’re not”
Timestamps
the guy with the blonde hair looks more normal than any of the others.
I mean, Ian was the only twisted one in the room, therefore, I wonder how come you think that Lee (the blond guy) is more normal than the other band members aside from Ian?
@@cookiegrandpafiddlediddle2248 because they are. You really think they had no idea what there lead singer was up too? Cmon
This is hilarious i actually havent understood 1 word.
@@keltar4071 The knew he did drugs, not kids, that's it.
Im not saying this is proof but when that host guy ask what is your guilty pleasure and he looked at his bands mates and said something kids and they all quietly laughed together like a inside joke between them. It was kind off odd.
They're like teenage girls.
They like teenage girls too. They all had sex with underage girls in 2004 - 2005. They used to have underage girls with them all time.
So many layers to this with hindsight
So many awkward silences or dismissals after Ian says random stuff to the band.
Why do most People believe that Ian's ex-Band Mates knew about his sick offenses. Because Mike and Jamie also Stuart have children and from their point of view of being a parent. Clearly they wouldn't of never let him in their lives or still walk about free if they knew. Just to put it out there
Just listen to the question asked at 6 minutes..
Babygirl asks “what’s your guilty pleasure”
Ian said “you” then “just joking”
Then the blonde guy clearly says “no you’re not”
They absolutely knew what was going on and done nothing because it benefitted their careers to be Quiet about it.
Because someone with a wife and child could never be a pedophile. Great logic. Tell that to Drake Bell.
Late answer but their partners were also a parents.
Guy in the Middle (stu): 09:07 who would u rather spend one last night with fearn or alexis- or all the others thats what it should say. Theres loads, you dont even know...dont even know. (watkins- stu does) stu- yeah i do. ive seen all the videos. (we're going to the dark places) next question..........................
Who chews their gum like that?
Cows? Horses? It's sooooo obnoxious and annoying...
+Amy Beth camel
A tosser chews his gum like that.
Cokeheads
George Costanza, or was that an apple lol?
Anybody notice that Ian can't get into the flow of the conversation? It's like he's incapable of functioning normally in an adult space. All of his quips are 'slotted in' rather than flowing. He's not gel-ling with the guys.
I was listening to start something earlier thinking how i played that album to death and felt incredibly guilty knowing what Ian did I'm still in complete shock over it as I always thought he was bi/gay
For the first time in over ten years, I tried to listen to it last year. Loved that album so much. Track #1 was mixed feelings of nostalgia and feeling like I'm doing something wrong. By track #3, I just couldn't keep going.
All the news sources are pointing to this article in regards to an answer that Ian gave in regards to his guilty pleasure. But, its misleading. If the whole interview is listened to and watched, his other bandmates were talking about the group Right Said Fred right before that question was asked to him. What was Ian's reply - You've already answered it, also he remarked that smack was a guilty pleasure.
While his drug use was known to people and to fans, as well as his perversions were known for some time before it all came out - from what I can gather from reading different articles - but this is no news whatsoever. Right Said Fred and heroin are his guilty pleasures - well, in this interview they were but now, sadly, we all know what they are.
My hope that through all of this, his mates, his family, and those who were abused can be able to pick up the pieces of their lives and begin to move forward. Now, while I want to see Ian punished for his crimes as well, I also would like to see if rehabilitation could be possible, so that, not only does he have to live with the remorse, guilt, etc of all he has done, but also, that he would somehow be made to make some sort of restitution to his victims.
bullshit, he is pure evil and I would bash his head in if given the option. Some people are just evil and they are proud of it.
@@jacob_dcdn basically he was a monster that just lucked out by being extremely handsome and that plus his Fame let him get away
This cocky and dry behaviour of UK artists pisses me off.
He sure as hell came thick and fast, didn't he? And now he's in prison.
One of the greatest UK rock bands ever? Bullsquat.
He is proud and he has no shame...
"I flip the script on shame. Turn it to pride."
Explains how he could so easily justify all the depraved shit he did.
soon Dahvie Vanity will be in Ians position, in prison!!!
I hope.
Hopefully! I don't see it just yet though, there's been barely any progress since the first massive report on it in the Huffington Post a couple years back :/ All those girls who need justice, I pray they get it
@@libby1977 right?! There literally photos on the internet of him kissing what look to be underage girls. He has a police report already on his past I can't believe he hasn't been arrested yet someone with evidence needs to go after him before it's too late
@@graveraider1029 exactly, he better not get away with it :/
Ewwww that other band member said he's seen all the videos.....
Man... Ian.... PHONE OBSESSION? lol
The video with the baby was recorded in 2012 (i think it was april when weapons was released) and you're linking the nickname "babygirl" and his sentence: "you already aswered it" to guess something? If he was aspiring at that time to do such a disgusting act, you can't say that is evidence of why the bandmates knew about it."
Lee Gaze, the blond one, is father. How would he be capable of hidding Ian's dark side?
well, he's jailed for 35 years. good
Because you can't be oaky pedophilia if you have a child. Great logic. Drake Bell is not a pedo if that's the case.
Lee Gaze was actually relieved when Ian Watkins was sentenced.
Gotta love that "MMMHHHMMMM" at 0:22 !!!
0:22
0:08 he definitely regret saying that
I don't care what everyone says. "Last Summer" remains one of my favourite tracks.
6:20 if this wasn’t obvious enough that they all knew and later lied about not knowing then you’re blind.
Can’t wait until someone mistakes Ian’s for a walnut !!!!!!!! Sick bastard!!!!!
6:20
Yikes
9:00 yikes
All the videos ! Going to the dark place ..... okay
would you all stop pinning this on the rest of the band members. it was ian and his girlfriends that did that shit. not the rest of the band
I don't think they're entirely guilty. Not saying they plunged to the depths of watkins but they did have young girls knocking about backstage just like the rest of them. By them I mean the kerrang type bands who seem to exclusively write music that appeals to teen girls
@@manonthestreet1703 People always forget about this and acts like the other guys (Lewis, Gaze, Richardson, Oliver and Chiplin) are saints. When they've all fucked underage girls.
Why is Oliver absent from the interview?
Pretty good band, they're still listenable - plus there's more than one band member ... if you liked them before everything went downhill, then it shouldn't be as different now, some people (like myself) liked the music because it was catchy and it meant something, it's hard to leave it all behind just like that - it's all about the music, well I hope the other members start a new band.
1) They're certainly a good band, but the only song by them I can listen to now is "We Are Godzilla, You Are Japan" because Ian isn't in it and it's sung by Jamie Oliver instead.
2) They did start a new band, with Geoff Rickly, a much nicer guy than Ian Watkins and the visionary behind Thursday.
@Luna not only that, with the music videos, especially "Town Called Hypocrisy," these people all knew... I don't believe for one second that the rest of the band is innocent AT ALL. They at least knew at a minimum. I'm sick of people who turn their backs in their blissfully ignorant lives to the fact that elite pedophiles can and do run the world!! Majority of famous people, ESPECIALLY A-listers, subject themselves to this shit... they have to for fame and fortune. Elites are literally Luciferian Satanists. People MUST understand that whether you believe in God and Satan doesn't matter... THEY DO, and they literally worship Satan in Satanic rituals which involve pedophilia, necrophilia, murder, rape, canabalism. This stuff is VERY real. It's done because it's their religion they practice, for trauma based mind control (MK Ultra- govt admitted to this program!), and for blackmail purposes. Ian probably did something that the powers that be didn't like, was pry blackmailed and exposed as a result. They do this shit. I believe Peaches Geldof was murdered for speaking up on this particular case. Project Brownstone, look it up. You'll never look at celebrities/royals/elites the same after you dive down this rabbit hole!!
Witness Me I think Ian does sing parts of that song though.
The other members did start a band. It’s called No Devotion and features lead singer Geoff Rickly of Thursday. Definitely check them out.
I just listen to the instrumentals.
oh my god they knew i feel sick
Totally knew 100%
absolute evil scum cannot believe these vermin roam this planet
the blonde guy knew!!!! look at his face!!!
His name is Lee Gaze
Strange as well how in this Ian & that blonde guy seem like the only decent people in the band
6:15 on your collar, told a tale on you'hoo!
I shudder to think why he keeps checking his mobile for and what them texts contain!!!
69crafty Apparently he had animal porn on his phone.
Playbackjunkie yeah sheep he's welsh
kirsty allchurch Well that makes sense. Ha.
Everyone just loves to shit on the entire band because of one person huh?
If they knew, they would've kicked Ian out or just killed him, considering the rest of the members have children.
And they would've been charged as accessories if they knew what he was doing.
Ian also stayed at hotels apart from the band and even rode in different cars, and he was known for having a dark sense of humor, so when he was in this interview, he said the hints in a joking way so the members just passed it off as him fucking around and nothing serious.
THANK YOU. Aside from Ian, obviously, who is evil incarnate, the other Lostprophets are all awesome people who had to suffer just as much as we did after Ian's arrest. Now they'll always have to go about being associated with Ian and everyone saying that they're pedophiles or somehow knew the whole time, which they DIDN'T. As if finding out that someone they thought they knew was a pedophile wasn't horrible enough, they get to be slandered by the internet, too!
Watching all this video they all was a bunch of tossers. Excluding the blond guy.
yeah keep trying to protect your favorite band , ffs open your eyes and listen at the part around 6:00 it's fucking creepy
yeah keep trying to protect your favorite band , ffs open your eyes and listen at the part around 6:00 it's fucking creepy
You’re a bit naive if you think they didn’t know.. they kept quiet because they knew it would end their band.
Fiend.
how the hell did the rest of the band have no idea what was going on they all seem so close spocky
Because Lee, Stuart, Jamie, Mike, and Luke were unaware of Ian’s crimes because the rest of the band were living in LA while Ian was living in Wales so they haven’t seen Ian for 9 months
They knew
@@zfatbcvxbthsbcv it’s really disrespectful to blame them when the person who should be blamed is currently in prison.
Knock it off
@@recklessintent Who is he blaming? They clearly knew due to the fact they distanced themselves from him, it's pretty obvious. Sorry your feelings got involved.
@@UndersackitchFungalbollock like I said there was a whole lot of distance between them from like the end of them touring liberation until weapons
They lived in America, he lived in wales. There was an interview in kerrang where kerrang were heavily indicating about Ian’s drug use and that something wasn’t right when betrayed was about to finally drop
So unless of course they were with each other 24/7 and had access to Ian’s laptop then no they didn’t know
Ian went missing and the band members had no idea where he was and Stuart knocked him out for it.
They knew about his drug use, and they possibly knew about his womanising. Paedos like Ian will disguise their ways by surrounding themselves with people their own age ie fearne cotton and Alexa chung so people don’t suspect anything
If you want to carry on blaming the band you do you, if it makes you sleep well at night.
These guys had families and I don’t think it’s fair to blame the band; one of them hardly knew Ian as he was new to the band himself as they couldn’t hire a drummer for longer than five minutes
Look at the bigger picture, the guy who did these crimes and absolute disgusting acts of depravity is the one we should be blaming and the mothers of those children, and the people who did know? The police constabularies and social services who did nothing.
Those are the ones we should be blaming rather than the rest of the band and management who tried many times to intervene with his drug use.
Maybe read up on the story rather than use your keyboard as a pitchfork
Lee, Stuart, Jamie, Mike, and Luke will carry on but for Ian no way because you know Ian is criminal and I think he should spent the rest of his life in prison
their all accomplices, not speaking up because it would ruin their band.
Everyone (except Luke and Illan because neither were present in those instances) have had sex with underage girls because underage girls would be with them backstage all the time. This was around 2004- 2005.
lostprophets are playing in ireland on the 18th may in the academy arena dublin and the 19th of may in mandela hall in belfast i cant wait to see them in dublin buy tickets theirs loads left, they are so funny
So how do you feel about the band now? Lol
this aged well lol
I dont like him at all ..
Pretty cheeky towards the fans who paid their wages.
WATCH FROM 28:00 - 28:13 THE REAL IAN WATKINS THAT LOOK IS PURE EVIL!
Haha it's almost like he's thinking too himself 'I'm such a bad druggy and kiddie fiddler hahaha Euuuurgghhh'
He is pure evil thank God he's in prison.
Watching this through..
Ian seems to have NO personality.
Ong so different than American men
The one next to the blonde guy said baby girls as Ian guilty pleasure. Disgusting,that guy knew for sure!
Oh I just rewatched that part and didn't catch the blonde guy say it
Fallout 3
I´m the one who asked about Argentina, Also the one who Lee rejacted xD.
You are still a fan of the band?
can anyone tell what ian said for the 'guilty pleasure' question? we all know what he was probably thinking, but what did he actually say?
The girl who was called “babygirl” asked what their guilty pleasures were
Ian said “you” then said “I’m only joking”
And the blonde guy said “no you’re not” and looks so uncomfortable
He said Heroin, he then says smack again and the other guy starts laughing
@@Snotzalotzno the fuck he doesn't he's looking around chill af. Do you even know what uncomfortable looks like?
Which one punched Ian our? Third from left?
Yes, his name is Stu.
Stuart punched Ian after a show during the warped tour when Ian failed to return for the show
If you watch 6:00 question at .5 speed it's pretty scary lol
yes.... look at him
the look on his face at 6:27 is creepy as shit
Lionel Messi is in Lost Prophets?
I always thought the same 😂
6:14 - Baby girl, what's your guilty pleasure? Ian "You just answered it I'm afraid" o_O
9:00 iv seen all the videos 😩😱
JAIL TIME.... the band is gone so sorry for poor judgement yet sicko ? Doing babies and now 29 years in prison will fix that boy ..ALL GONE FOREVER ...
That comment about seeing the videos is too shady,,,those two were sharing something "going to a dark placec" as Watkins replied ...Watch the interaction between the three of them...At 9.10
such a boring interview. probably the worst thing the members of Lost Prophets have ever done.
I'm surprised at the amount of traces there are at Ian's dark side that would all come to light 2 years after the interview.
Why do all bands have that comb down haircut
i love lostprophets. Ian looked so innocent
Ah I dont think so.
Not in his home made videos with him, babies and animals. He is a sick F**K!!
@@sobster123 Imean he did.
So did the kids he messed with! #scum
He’s a child predator. He’s so guilty
@theroseoftralee i think that was about the lead singer of taproot, they mention chester bennignton half way through then i think ian or lee sorta mumbles 'but the lead singer of taproot' before his speech :p
He actually answered with heroin first if you listen carefully.
fair play ian knows a fuck load of camels..... 03:51 :P
2nd to left knows
lol never mind ian being on his phone all the time.. it wos clear he didnt give a shit...
anyone catch there comments on the 911 terror (tracks lol) attacks..
1:37 bit dodgy?
why does stuart keep saying DIRTY BRUMMY?/ and lol ian spends like THE WHOLE INTERVIEW ON HIS PHONE LOL HIS FANS BORE HIM
@IMaTENefrancia i totally agree with what you said, he is a hyprocrite, but a town called hypocrisy was a good song, but they did changed there music, but i agree with ian, linkin park was one of the best rap metal bands, but... lostprophets were the best rock band when they had the 1st and 2nd album released, its a shame, i wish we could of heard more old lostprophets and old linkin park
wow 911 got brought up..
