some friends of mine in yr11/sixth form were into sleeping with lostprophets members and peripherals -- kind of hoping none of them slept with this douche, even if he's found innocent of this he's really not someone you'd want on your sexual history.

― deX! (DJP), Tuesday, 26 November 2013 15:04 (ten years ago) link
c-man of Total Sci-Fi in a negative review took issue with the film-makers' statements that their movie says something about the politics of Serbia, writing, "if you want to learn about Serbia, chances are, you won't be watching a movie whose main claim to fame is that a man rapes a newborn baby", before concluding that "Srdjan Spasojevic will go to his grave being known as the guy who filmed a grown man having sex with a baby. And that's something that – despite all of the money, attention and champagne parties at Cannes – I would never want on my conscience. Good luck to him in regaining some humanity."[48]

Did the rest of his band know what he was doing? Did they have suspicions? How the hell would you deal with that if you were, say, the drummer. Fucking hell. Nasty, nasty, nasty. So many horrible things that this says about power and fame and fandom and masculinity and wish fulfillment. Awful.

I'd be pretty wary of extrapolating too much based on the evidence of this particular sociopath. I know the revelations have been piling up over the last year but attempted rape of a baby is a level of awfulness above everyone except Saville.

Ultimately, the Lostprophets produced The Betrayed by themselves at the Los Angeles home of the band's bassist, Stuart Richardson, between 2008 and 2009. Over the course of this multi-year recording process, they scrapped a lot of material, ultimately selecting a dozen songs for the 45-minute album. The first half of the album is uniformly excellent, in particular the full-throttle rockers "Dstryr/Dstryr," "It's Not the End of the World, But I Can See It from Here," and "Next Stop, Atro City." Though less invigorating and perhaps too pop-oriented for some fans, the U2-esque "Where We Belong" and the ska lilt of "For He's a Jolly Good Felon" are also first-rate.
