What could've started this beef between these two singers?

It'd be nice to see a link to an interview, video or something to make a point otherwise you're just making smoke

Just saying...

My bad, links posted.

[LPxDC]

just so people dont have to sit through the TL;DR interview

 

Were the other guys in Lostprophets apprehensive when you started doing it?

”No because it’s totally different and it’s not like what the twat from Linkin Park is doing. What a tit. It blows my fucking mind what he did at Sonisphere. That is the most disrespectful and unbelievable thing I’ve ever heard. Plus, singer from alt rock band starts alt rock band side project, pointless. I hate him.”

 

 

Have you ever met him?

”That guy’s a cock. The rest of the guys in the band are absolutely fine. We have a lot of history with him.”

I don't mean this to be offensive, but does anyone know if the new Linkin Park single is a joke?

[Anality]

I think he shold just change his name to Ian Twatkins

How the fuck is it disrespectful when the idea for DBS to play in the LP encore came from Mike Shinoda?

[[AndOne]]

He should get a hair cut and stop being such a douche.

[dark_master]

What a complete idiot. I've never liked Lostprophets, but I had some kind of respect for them and now it's all lost. Don't speak bullshit about people 100 times better than you, dude.

[LESTAT]

Funny, because Lostprophets were bashed during some point of their career due to their similarities to Linkin Park.

I bet, it's either their lame attempt to revenge or Chester indeed was cocky making fun of them because of the above mentioned reasons.

Anyway, when a band attacks some other a lot more successful band, it makes people roll their eyes whatever reason was behind it.

Wow...really shows the maturity of some people. It made me laugh, though.

[FearOfTheDuck]

We all know Watkins is a twat, no need for the rest

[1996_LP]

Like Hahninator said, it was Mikes idea. I doubt even chester would have even considered playing DBS in the encore otherwise. Watkins is totally overeacting about it.

 

Besides, does chaz really deserve all that hate for that one thing? jeez

[LPlover]

wow...what a moron XD this made me laugh....pointless.

[LPPRJKT4]

Lol I never really listened to Lost Prophets, but I feel like it was a publicity stunt, some B+ singer makes fun of world famous band, people are bound to hear about it and check out their shit.

[MONDREUS240]

Wow, If this guy wants to get respect he should keep his comments to himself. The kind of things that he's saying are very unprofessional.

[Xero21]

I'm sure Chester in his younger days could have rubbed some people the wrong way. The fact that this guy has kept the grudge for so long is the sad part here. Let it go.

[Papelbon]

Are the Lostprophets still relevant?

[LPPRJKT4]

Are the Lostprophets still relevant?

Not in the world today (Disturbed pun).

[maik_gianino]

Which was the Chester's reply to all of this comments ?

[Pez]

I like the fact that I have never heard of the Ian bloke or of his band. Yet he thinks his King shit talking shit about other bands (also has a good at Chad from Nickelback in the interview)

 

Talk shit, Get hit buddy

[sian18]

i went to a lostproplets gig and there were these's kids that had won a comp to meet the band ian wouldint meet em just got on his own private bus and left iv met him a few times and he is well stuck up twat he put me off the band

[LPPhan2005]

Talk shit, Get hit buddy

Run and tell dat, homeboy!

 

Next LPL Poll:

 

Yes or No, is Ian Watkins a Bloody Wanker?

[Astat]

Hey, let's all start hating on a great vocalist from a great band because he doesn't kiss Chester's ass in the media!

 

The immaturity of Linkin Park fans amazes me sometimes. I swear they'll immediately turn against anyone who has anything negative to say about LP or any of their members. Oh wait, this is the same fanbase that completely turned against Evanescence and Paramore solely because their fans were cheating in online voting contests (just like the LP fans were, but I wouldn't expect most LP fans to be affected by big words like "hypocrisy"). I guess I really shouldn't be surprised.
