Oli “you’d know what I mean” Sykes
*d'you
*wot
Bruh when i saw dis oli said you know wot i mean
I think that was the name of liam "you know what i mean" gallagher
Are ye mat fer it
The first time I heard nihilist blues, I was like “ehhh maybe not”
But now I’m like “IMA SPIRIT IN A TOOOOOOOOOMBBBB”
Amo grew on me.
Yes! I didn't like it at first. I saw them live in Brisbane, they played Nihilist Blues and ever since I've been hooked. I've been a fan since Suicide Season and it's nice to change it up!
Same here! Saw them at warped tour back in like 2009? 2008? Can’t remember, but I would say they can adapt well into new their music. People throwing shade at Jordan tho idk why >.>
Parade is in my soul
They Have No Reflections
The whole album did that to me. First it was Mantra, then medicine, mother tongue, heavy metal, nihilist blues, in the dark and so on lol
I've watched a lot of live performances from this year and it's still really obvious oli still loves screaming.
You can tell he knows his history (who the fuck talks about football season is over? Great shit)
This comment aged well.
@@feliscatherinus7816 honestly tho im proud of him for screaming again on the new singles 👍
Same, and I usually don’t care if music is heavy or not but his grainy screams are quite something.
PH:SH.
If you think that I'm going to watch 18 minutes of Oli and Jordan talking, then you're completely right, because I just did.
It’s amazing to see olis change within interviews... it used to be so sad when he was constantly scratching and poking himself cause of the drugs but now he’s so well spoken and intelligent! So happy how much he’s changed! Bring me the horizon thank you for being one of the best bands ever!
its sad that with such downers bring great music ive been following then for a while and i almost love all there songs
Plus he swore in almost every sentence even in 2014
While I see what you mean I’m not entirely sure. Since he had substance use disorder with ketamine (which is a dissociative) .. was his fidgeting a result of that drug, or was it just his anxiety and AD/HD? With a dissociative class drug you’re G-O-N-E so he’d likely do it in private, although some drugs DO have a lasting impact even when the user isn’t high, they’ve come down, yet in their day to day it’s been a long standing use disorder (speed, pain killers, and alcohol are all good examples). In other words, there are plenty of drugs where -even if you aren’t high at the moment- it affects your behavior in between using. While I can’t say I’m well versed in what someone regularly using ketamine is like when they’re down from it? Because it’s a dissociative it likely wouldn’t result in fidgeting and scratching. Also, I’m not super well educated in my SEVERE chronic/generalized anxiety yet (haven’t gotten in to therapy yet, we’re still figuring out a medication stack, and for 10+ years I thought I was, ‘stressed,’ until my new partner -we’d always been very, very good friends for 16+ years- clued me in. She’s been doing therapy, routine + medication for a long time) though I do know some functions of what behaviors manifest from a few types of anxiety. Although, on the other hand, I am well versed in my AD/HD as I was diagnosed young. Just from those two mental health struggles I’m always squirming, fidgeting, scratching at my self (it’s apparently some sort of nervous, self soothing thing despite how psychotic it sounds). It could totally be that he was doing that in the past due to that drug, but I’m skeptical due to the class of drug, and it is at least plausible it’s simply situational or social anxiety and AD/HD.
Yeah, we know, Oli. Thanks for asking.
amo is such a fucking solid album. i love their early stuff but their new stuff is incredible and unique. they still put a bangin show on live
So you're a sell out too?
jonah Sheehan good joke
Deathcore Jesus your life’s a joke
@@tru816indo grow up
disagree with someone, just label them a sellout lmao @@tru816indo
Fantastic interview, nice to see Oli properly comfortable for once haha
Yea im happy for them
he takes his ADHD medication. That is why
@@TheSubzero1991 "I have cut down on my medications - I'm trying harder. If I'm off it for just a day it's like the old me times a million, like I'm just stupid." (2015)
y’know, Oli has such a great artistry, and I respect him so much for it. no matter how their sound changes... you will know it’s his work. his versatility is grand I love this man so much
*Oli : You know
*Billie Joe Armstrong : What did you say???
Josie Cotterill lol oddly enough, the two frontmen of my two favorite bands of all time
who said that about jordan i just wanna talk
I love how they always come up with different sounds. Everything is okay as long as they still play instruments and don’t become something like Panic at the disco (that there’s only one member left in the band)
yeah, but, i mean, Brendon still plays with live musicians and all that
Miguel Angel yeah, I know (just fyi, I like Panic at the disco, no hate) but what I was trying to say is the fact that I don’t want BMTH to be a solo artist because all the band members are gone.
@@caroeldot oh yeah, me neither, fuck that
😂
I don't think I would have a problem with most directions they take. The thing about being critical of art is it's just too tiring. Music isn't a contest of who can play instruments the best or whatever. I think as long as you're making something unique that you love and enjoy, other people are gonna resonate with that. FYI, being a producer and making music with computers can take just as much practice and knowledge to master as playing an instrument, and I play 3 instruments, and I'm mediocre as hell with a DAW. If you don't believe making a hip hop beat, or a rave song is difficult, you do it. You might be able to figure out a little bit, but mastery takes time.
Jordan Fish is a legend to me - his band 'Worship' (before he was in BMTH) was amazing and he's brought so much of that to the band
The dude got in a moshpit while BMTH was playing Antivist. Must have been a magical feeling
I wish I could mosh to suicide season, that is my dream..
ive only gone to one bmth show and i've been a fan since cyb.. there was this giant dude in the crowd sending people out to crowdsurf so of course I had to. I had both thumbs up and my gf got on video the whole thing. I looked back at it and one of the guitarists had his thumbs up right back at me. If i die from coronavirus tomorrow I will have lived a full life
@@slasher2782 damn. That sounds crazy
7:16 something like that happened to me, it's incredible how many styles they can manage without losing bmth essence, all their work is amazing and it shows how good can be a band if they change and not try to stay the same through the years.
They have to add don’t look down as an extra track... its a really underrated song and I think it fits well with amo
I started listening to them when count your blessings came out and I admit after suicide season I was doubtful, but then sempiternal came out and I rejoiced. Then came That's the Spirit, and it completely blew my mind. to this day I consider Drown one of my all time favorite tracks because it just resonates with me. Amo is no stranger either. it grew on me, and now it has been on repeat since release. totally love it.
No love for there is a hell ??
@@Blake19d forgive me for I have sinned lol. I was just going off and didn't realize I forgot. I am ashamed.
I'm the opposite. Started listening to them during count your blessings, and basically hated every album after. It got worse and worse. I think the newest album is the worst of them all.
I'd rate the albums (worst to best) amo, count your blessings, that's the spirit, sempiternal, suicide season, there is a hell.
You didn't like suicide season? why?
Take a shot everytime oli says ‘you know’
I dont want to die
Good interview, I'd love to see them just drop a deathcore or metalcore track in the middle of their next album, amongst whatever else they made, just to further flex that experimentation. Imagine literally going from a song like Medicine to something much much heavier.
*L U D E N S*
You're in luck. Listen to Kingslayer
Post Human: Survival Horror.
this aged well
Dear Diary and Kingslayer are what the you’re looking for.
"gateway band" is a funny idea when you as a listener went softer as time passed, and for my sake they might as well continue until it doesn't get more pop, i'm loving it.
Yes oli, we do know what you mean. Stop asking
Hey! It's a common English phrase y'know wot i mean?
i love bring me but i also miss old school bring me the horizon as i grew up on that but i like their evolution
i appreciate that u too appreciate their evolution. their old records still exist, n we can listen anytime we want. ppl should be happy for BMTH, whether or not u prefer their old stuff etc. :)
There are other bands that do similar stuff to what they've done, there's plenty of that sort of stuff around still
Nowhere near as good as they used to be
I understand them wanting to try something new. Sadly, I didn't like it (aside from a few songs, but guess I'll move on to other bands). Rly happy I got to see them live before amo, That's The Spirit was definitely my cup of tea.
You know,the problem is,that,maybe it's only for me,but I think,that now this band just lost that power,that it had in 2010's - at that time (after release of There is A Hell) even the word Bring Me The Horizon felt different - when you bought ticket at that time you at least known,that you're gonna have a very unique time - setlist with both melodic songs, and amazing bangers. It just felt like complete insanity,and that was fucking amazing. Now it just become more.... regular? Seriously, I can't remember something similar to old BMTH - metalcore,that was actually heavy(maybe except Architects,but it was more on technical side,rather than groovy one). Their older material brought me emotions, that none other group did, they were unique - and now, they're changed theirs style. And, how simple that wasn't, but it's just sad,when the unique band changes their direction. Personally for me, the problem is that all that good stuff,that was back in heavy days simply left behind - I would've been more than happy,if half of the setlist were modern songs,and the other half was old ones.
Liam is a great interviewer
He really is.
David Toey and Kurt Tobain
That is the greatest thing I've ever seen
*Cobain
@@jasminelawson4882 watch the video....
His right arm reminds me of Mystique from X-Man

Awesome interview!! Everyone was so engaged! You could also see this man was really a fan of Oli and Jordan!
Oli still using the chip analogy
Nice Interview. The host was really good and natural. Also very nice to see Oli and Jordan super relaxed. :)
TripleJ hosts are the best 🤟

@@kyloren9510 dun dun dun dun dun dun dun
@@k4boom3rr10 It sits in silence. Eats away at me.
I still listen to Count your blessings weekly, it's timeless
This has to he one of the interviews I've seen them most comfortable at.
I’ll always respect any musician that ventures out and tries new things. That’s what music is about.
Oli: "We've not turned our backs on what we used to do." I've never heard a more comforting phrase. I was getting worried. It makes me sad when bands detest their earlier songs that initially brought them success. Good interview!
Saw them live back in July, only played four-five songs pre Amo.
@@OWA_Freerunning must have been a short set then. during amo they played 4 songs from semp atleast.
Just give me an album full of Ludens
your wish came true
@@aiden_james_music not a single miss on Post Human
Why olli dressed like a missing member of the Migos though?

cause their next album is going to include elements of trap rap
Oliset is a reality.
@@Wid33yez please god no cringy white kids verision of ghetto music
Lol
I’ve gotten quite a few friends into rock music, because of AMO. Start them with the new BMTH, then they start digging into the old. The message with all their albums is still solid as ever.
Nihilist blues is the coolest thing I've heard in a long time, the album Amo as a whole didn't quite do it for me as much as I'd hoped but that song is magic
Been a fan since the beginning! Love you guys!
“How old are you”
“I’m eleven”
LMAO
I actually DO know what you mean, Oliver!
They’re such a great band, great stuff
Bring Me The Horizon is one of the few bands I have experienced whose progressive aural transmutations have always resonated with me. Each new sound they unleash has always been, in my earnest opinion, Bring Me The Horizon. It never feels different. It just feels new, refreshed even. And I love it every time.
Great to see a band like these guys develop and push the boundaries over the years. You can tell the legit bands see music from a more creative and broader musical sense than just picking a genre and sticking to it. Whether it hits the mainstream or not it's amazing to see such and honest and real band appeal to a wider audience.
I love love loveeeee this interview!
I really enjoyed this interview 😊
With us at the doorsteps of Post Human 2? This is an interview I’ve been coming back to, but coming back to this now in the wake of, “DiE4u,” “Lost,” and, “AmEN?”
It’s amazing how far ahead they were with, “amo,” and, “~music to listen to…”, but then how the opportunity for, “Ludens,” + COVID altered their trajectory for the best..
Man this interview is even better with hindsight and perspective, you know?
awesome interview. i love these 2 geniuses
I remember hearing Diamonds aren’t forever and I hated it, it was way too heavy for me. Got into sempiternal without even knowing it was the same band and going through their discography and loving it. BMTH is definitely the best gateway band imo
Too heavy for you? Damn boy you need to explore metal more. Once you lose your sensibility to guturals and heavy music you will enjoy metal a lot more. Dont let heavier stuff scare you. Just go and enjoy de ride.
@@KuromiDarklord ok "darklord"
@@Crustyfart123 My comment wasnt even "dark" It was friendly. Just like my nickname sounds dark or edgy but both my content and my actitute in daily life is friendly. Its my internet name so you can search me on steam, ps4 and switch like that or simply "KuromiDL'
@@KuromiDarklord i can agree. Exploring heavier sounds is probably the best thing I've done. You play ps4 as well? :0
@@revenga54 Yep. I dont play on ps4 that much I do it sometimes. I play more on my PC and my 3ds. My ps id "Kuromidarklord". Feel freed to add me. I love RPGs like Nier automata, Rouge Galaxy and shin megami tensei including persona and the mainlines.
Im seeing them in 3 days. Haven't seen them since 2011. So pumped to see what this band has evolved into live.
Great interview, cool guys
I wish I would have heard of BMTH earlier in life as they were coming out with all their work... I'm not a deathcore or death metal fan though. The first song I remember hearing was "throne" so I came in late in the game. Not all of the music from BMTH is my favorite, but some of my favorite songs in general come from BMTH. My favorite sound was from Sempiternal and I like "chelsea smile" and some of the Suicide Season album. Amo.... I'm not sure about Amo yet, but just like i listened to all of "count your blessings" like holy shit I have to listen to Amo and feel it out too.... I love your sound from songs like "sleepwalking" "shadow moses" "chelsea smile"... The lyrics to "sleepwalking" speak to me and I love "hospital for souls" "don't go"... and "drown"... "slwepwalking" has become one of my favorite songs...
I absolutely love the fact that bring me the horizon open there mindsets on different genres.. I loved ammo keep up the creativity
Honestly such a talented band, every song they have ever done is catchy and addictive. ❤️❤️❤️
Have you ever listened "this is what the edge of your seat was made for"?
So are the drugs that oli used to take
And u havent heard EVERY song they have
@@popegeorgelucasii933 What's ur problem?? I'm so fucking tired of the drug comments. He's clean so DROP IT ALREADY!!! And how tf do u know what this dude has heard.. Maybe he's even heard songs u haven't... Fuck dude..SMH
@@Cr1me-wavE Yes, super catchy songs on that EP too.
I absolutely love amo
It really shows how far they've come
BMTH is in the house, woah
In The House of Wolves? ;)
nihilist blues.haha
a lot of bands have changed , funeral for a friend , as cities burn , emery and so on i like the change i can listen to amo or count your blessings and enjoy them both i like that the band is growing and changing i cant wait to see where they go
Why isn’t count your blessings on Spotify here in Australia
I'm wondering the same thing.
Get the app Tunnelbear and switch your IP to another country and you can listen to it
They hate it
Jim Pickens listens to deathcore???
Did them dirty on the thumbnail. Looks like they crying 🥴
Tyson Thomas omg
Lmfaooooo
@Tyson Thomas it's them being clickbatie
Not at all
*More like they're sick n ill with the cold haha*
I love all their music tbh
Oli: we still have those old songs in our shows
Saw them live last month, only played four songs pre Amo...
So he ain't lying
It's a shame they dont play any songs from There is a Hell... Such an amazing record and it feels like it kind of goes to waste nowadays
Awesome interview :)
You dont know real metal until you've shuffled some of BMTH. I always leaned towards metal but once I heard Shadow Moses when I was 14 and now im 20. I got addicted and still listen to all of their albums. I hated spirit at first but it grew on me, I think it's just accepting that they are going to try out new sounds over time. Pray for Plauges is the first screamo song I've ever heard a few days ago, I'm addicted now :) Keep doing you Oli, you got me through some tough times...thank you ❤️
I love this band
I will admit I was one of the persons that didn't like to much "Amo", but at this point I already download all the songs and liked it..... Oliver, your music helps me in my despair and sadness, hope to meet you one day :)
Plini interviewing BMTH yo times have changed
10 years ago. those were the greatest days
Nice! Wonder what band will they cover if they do triple j like a version
i need this now
Probably one of Linkin Park's songs if anything. Then again, they'll probably know we'd expect that and end up playing something else instead.
Billie!
Its like what Linkin Park Chester Bennington says. Music is a journey. Its always changing. Music don't had to be in the same way or had the same sound on every record.
Bring me the Horizon have the Courage to go their own way.
I think this has become my favourite band.
New album is sick, old stuff is amazing. Band keeps developing and killing it !!
From Count Your Blessings to Amo, I love them admire them and will always. I'm just being proud and supportive 🇫🇷❤️
When diamonds came out i loved it but that was over a decade ago and im not the same person i was back then and neither is bmth. I love growing with bands. I still love their hardcore stuff but with their newer sounds, i can respect it because they are incredibly talented and i can still tell its them. They still carry whatever it was when i first found them. Idk im glad theyve grown into what they are and arent afraid to step out of themselves and try something new and thats the mentality i try to keep when i listen to it.
Oli is 30+ years old yet looks 21
I guess the drugs and alcohol hasn’t catch up to him yet.
Before I was really into BMTH I thought he was in his early 20s but realized they've been around for a while
He's vegan, look at Jared Leto too. Makes a huge difference
John C lot of non-vegans running around looking young.
@@Fake.User. LMAO you're saying he looks 10 years younger because he doesn't eat fucking cheese on his toast. LOL
He's 32...
Espero el día que un alma bondadosa traduzca estas entrevistas al español.
What he says about no matter where you start you always go and get in to their other genres and that’s impressive. Each record is a separate genre and for a band to do that that’s advanced. I’ll admit the first song I knew I was listening to [bmth] was snakes start to sing. Fast forward a few years and I apologise if you feel something and pray for plagues are in my playlist.
Some people may not like BMtH as they don’t like heavy or don’t like pop. But there’s an album for everyone
Great band!
can not wait
The intro to doomed sounds like samples of requiem for for a dream to me. And, being a recovering addict, that's what that songs is about to me.
the stuff they r saying here is so true, bmth got me into metalcore AND like post hard core “emo” stuff their versatility is amazing and unmatched honestly
i wanna see Oliver Sykes on the Eric Andre show
Oli and Alan Moore are so soft spoken
I love the sound of the band and it’s up to them if they wanna go back to metal core
I know they probs wont see this but their new album along with anyothers that theyve produced have helped me through hard times and are true music because their not all for the fan but for the themselves so theyre not unhappy with their production
Recently I bought a perfume called "aqua di gio", and it reminds me to the song medicine. In conclusion their new music style is fantastic.
Oli has matured so much as a person too since Count Your Blessings, i'm sure Jordan has too but it's more obvious with Oli
No shit he’s 32
He’s a grown ass man not a little kid
I read "Oli has menstruated so much" at first and was very confused for solid 30 seconds.
@@H.E.M. there are still 32 year olds that are a child and/or stick to one genre.
Keep it pushing fellas new album is good
Take a shot every time he says „you know wot I mean“
Regardless, WE LOVE YOU BMTH❤️❤️
I love this Band :)
This is like the most like times I've like heard someone like say like.....
It's almost like he is saying "Lock" instead of like. lol
BMTH is a band that i considered as versatile band... i loved that kind of band, and i dont felt boring when they turned into pop...its just a gentle part of BMTH 😉💖
BMTH Still good but i miss the Hardcore days ;(
Does Anybody Here Still Listen To The Bedroom Sessions? Just Curious
Btw I Enjoy All Of Their Material.
Aaaaa los amo mucho
It s 6am I just learned my cat i grew up with is strongly sick and listening to bmth interviews is the only thing that help me calm down at this point...
is the cat okay now?
@@ChehovsYe she is hanging on to this day but she is now deaf... thx for the concern.
I love the new record just not as much as the old stuff but damn it’s all good
still a great band
Good interview. Haters of anything could learn something.
love this band to pieces but sepiternal will always be there best work no doubt i like how oli is explaining what there doing and why
Bring Me ALL The Horizon!
