- It was good to catch up with Oli Sykes last week from Bring Me The Horizon on the latest episode of Talkin’ Rock.
Lots going on with BMTH. We talk about their latest tour with Fall Out Boy. “It’s been sick.” is how he summed up the tour. He told me why they choose to do a support tour “We’ve been going nonstop, and we’re kinda on the verge of burning out.” He explained that between making records and more, it was just easier to hop on a tour and go out for the summer. “We still have fans to win over.” was another reason to hit the road.
The new record called Post Human: neX GEn drops on September 15th. Is the upcoming album the most eclectic record? He answered that question. He spoke to influences and nods to some of the bands he loved growing up. “It’s more about the frantic and unhinged energy” he said about some of the songs. “I know the rules to writing a song…now it’s time to go back and break them.” And, yes, this album will challenge the fans.
He talked about the process for writing music. As far as recording songs, he said that vocal booths are overrated. Ha! He said they don’t even really use studios anymore.
One of his heroes was Linkin Park’s Chester Bennington. He talked about meeting him and singing at his celebration of life. “I guess you could say that was bittersweet.” He searched for words to describe the loss of Chester in his life. “I feel like a part of my childhood died when he died.”
He talked about preserving his voice and what he does to not lose it. He also answered the question as to whether the rock star life is all it’s cracked up to be. “It’s the best job in the world, of course!”
I had to ask him about the crazy videos he’s made. I posted a few of them below. He mentioned he wanted to be a director, so this isn’t too far out of his wheelhouse. - Розваги
I just want to say that I think sometimes we don't realize what it's like to be someone like oli someone who puts endless amounts of his personal emotions and experiences into the songs that he/they write and perform and really just how taxing that could be on a person I feel like it's far to often that we perceive these artists as song making machines or like they're not human. We might appreciate the songs and maybe the emotional effect that these songs may personally have on us however we don't seem to understand what it takes out of those who actually write and perform them . Anyway I just feel like oli is a person who truly cares about what other people feel or what they are going through it's just not often that I see that same caring or understanding and compassion reciprocated to those who write and perform these songs that we all seem to relate to . I guess what I'm trying to say is maybe let's not forget about the human beings that write these songs and pour they're hearts out with each and every performance and maybe realize that they are just like you and I however if a song triggers a bad memory for me I just don't listen but I often wonder what happens when a song triggers a negative emotional response and your the person that everyone is expecting to sing that very song on stage. Btw I'm not trying to shine any kind of negative light on this particular Interview this is just something I was thinking a about that's all , love you bmth❤
As a fellow musician and songwriter I 100% agree. I can be down in the most abhorrent mental spaces in order to produce my most meaningful music. I love this band so much because I identify almost in every single song.
The shit with Chester was sad, he is a legend! It deff does feel like a part of you goes away when someone you admired passes and you wonder what type of music and songs they'd have out now. Long live and happy travels to you oli.
If this record is anything like the singles then this will be a record for the ages
if its anything like post human Im in
