Paid Members Egg Shen Posted December 19, 2012 Author Paid Members Share Posted December 19, 2012 I'm going to reiterate what I said on Twitter earlier - One of my friends grew up near Ponty and when she started going out at 14/15 the Prophets were well known but hadn't reached the stage where they'd stopped going out at the weekend. Quite a few guys chatted her up, Ian Watkins included. I'd be a fool to think she didn't go home with any of them but whilst I know she's been back to his place in a group, she maintains she never slept with him. Â He later gained quite the reputation for revelling in the attentions of teenage fans and would often turn up at clubs after gigs with girls of questionable legal age in tow. Â Up in the valleys though? Yeah, it's not surprising that sort of thing goes on, hence all the teenage pregnancies. You really can't carry on with that sort of thing outside of small towns where people just turn a blind eye, especially when you're in the public eye as he is. Â That all said, I still remember the Public Disturbance days and whilst I didn't know him back then, I'm ended up pretty good mates with the other guys from the band and did meet him, briefly, at a reunion gig back in 2005. He's very short, and that's from me at 5'7", so I reckon he just likes girls his own height. Â So, not entirely surprising, but younger than 13? That is pretty fucked up. i posted it in the news thread but id heard he was heavy into drugs, was skint and was on the verge of getting kicked out of the band for years. I also remember the band from back in the day, i saw Public Disturbance once, i aint sure if Ian was playing then though, it was at the time when both bands operated, Mike Lewis was definitly on guitar though. Â I saw Lost Prophets almost become the house band opener in TJ's too, they supported several bands i saw there prior to their debut coming out...that was back when Ian did his American game show host schtick onstage, he was an annoying fucker. Â This has still blown my mind though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

David Posted December 23, 2012 Share Posted December 23, 2012 Has anyone actually heard the new Hatebreed album yet? I know it's due out on the 28th of January in the UK, but usually there's a few folk heard advance copies and so forth. I've pre-ordered my copy.
