That singer from LostProphets.......rock music will unfairly suffer because of what he did i.e people will think other rock musicians are like him.

That elevates my respect for the band to an even higher level. I'm taking a theremin and delay pedal with me when I play shows in case this situation occurs.

Well I imagine that he'd have to make good music or be an important artist for that to happen, so don't sweat it.

Or just to scare the **** out of the audience?

I just need my guitar or sax for that job. Theremin definitely wouldn't hurt though.

Shit I forgot about that cunt! When I read about him I deleted all their music from my HDD and threw out the CD I had. People here said I was going to extremes, but it just didn't feel right to have music made by a serial paedophile anywhere in my collection, and I'd always hear his voice and know it was him singing.
