Seriously though, I don’t think I ever could. I can’t separate the art from the artist so if I even was an MJ fan, I couldn’t listen to him. He was just lucky he never got caught and found guilty. I listen to lostprophets fairly regularly. If we vetted the entertainment we watch/read/listen to then we'd never be able to enjoy anything.

I'm kinda with you , though I can honestly say I've never (knowingly) listened to the lost prophets , but not due to any boycott on my behalf ... The problem i find with Vetting stuff , is it seems to be very selective and determined by a few people Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can still enjoy cheese, basically Yeah I agree, I just think if we never enjoyed anything done by someone who did something bad we'd never enjoy a harvey Weinstein film, or a michael jackson song, or a mike tyson fight, or watching Ronaldo play, or a lewis carrol book etc etc I think it's perfectly ok to separate art from the artist 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ingram85 Posted August 11, 2022 Share Posted August 11, 2022 (edited) Re: Lostprophets. It’s my personal thing to not listen to them, if someone else’s wants to listen to them then that’s fine. For me it’s that he was the singer and songwriter so it’s all his words and voice. Weirdly, if he was in the background or the bassist or someone less synonymous with the bands image I’m not sure it would bother me as much.

If you did fancy supporting the other former members of Lostprophets you could always listen to No Devotion which was all of them bar the singer. Think a few have left now (not clear) and it is a little different in style... However new album is out next month on 16 September. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I bought their first album on release but it wasn’t for me outside of a handful of songs. Bit too shoegazery for me. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With Glitter though it’s funny that Rock n Roll part 2 does sometimes slip the net and was recently featured in Joker. The song is pretty ingrained in a lot of American sports events too. Tune though to be fair. I think they justified playing it in The Joker as Glitter sold the rights to his music a while ago so doesn't benefit from it, plus the character was going a bit mad in the film so it fit. I believe Oasis retired Hello for a long time for the same reasons until Liam brought it back recently as no royalties go to Glitter any more.
