Bring Me The Horizon: Oli Sykes And Mat Nicholls On How The Band Chose Their Names

[@dgrass5846]

They were mainstream way before Ed Sheeran, don’t give him the credit for that. They’ve been around for nearly 20 years and have had a huge following since the start

[@user-pixis967]

Don't remember me of how old I am pls

[@heygema]

That's really a long run for a band that also evolve in a good way, I think it's funny that olie mentioned that the new demographic folks never went back down on spotify tracks😂

[@LukeStoneman]

THANK YOU!!!! Was literally thinking this

[@towerxoverxme]

RIGHT? they sold out wembley arena 8 years prior to that collab. i mean, if you're gonna make statements do your research first @the project

[@mattyfox_]

Bring me the horizon we're mainstream way before the Ed Sheeran feature smh

[@CoverBrazilian]

Seriously. Id say the MGK collab had way more of an affect on their monthly listeners than the Ed Sheeran one did. Actually, Ed Sheeran didn’t help much in that regard, because Ed is the #1 biggest artist on Spotify, so when their collab dropped, it was on Ed’s page for like 5 minutes, before getting dwarfed by his other songs again.

[@Stephen_Viele]

@@CoverBrazilian I can almost guarantee anyone listening to MGKs rock stuff already knew who BMTH are. Unless they were really young.

[@berniegaona9920]

@ mattyfox, I caught that too. They made it sound that Ed Sheeran made BMTH famous...WHATEVER

[@its_not_fair9866]

I think it wasn't about monthly listeners or being mainstream, just sole fact of a metal band playing on one stage with Ed Sheeran is so important for acknowledging metal community and popularising heavier music as a whole

[@chaosaintme9067]

you don't know what mainstream means i see. Bmth were never mainstream, they were just very popular in metal/rock scene. Big fish in a small pound kinda of thing. Please don't embarrass yourself acting all superior and know-it-all saying "smh".You'll just end up looking like cringy kid( if that's not what you are)

[@quetzallishalom9525]

They look so unconfortable lmao, I love seeing them go bigger but hosting in a show like this is really not their style and it shows XD

[@belaherreira6266]

Yeah, right? I was just wondering if anyone else caught it too

[@Destructow]

Mat doesn’t look to out of place but yeh oli looks like he really doesn’t want to be there haha

[@quetzallishalom9525]

[@matteosoffritti6509]

Factttttttssssss

[@quetzallishalom9525]

Forreal. I love pop but I can't stand Ed sheeran for the life of me and their version just made it good.

[@carolinecoy3164]

I've been to see both. A fan of both. More so BMTH. But that original bad habits song was terrible. It defo improved it 100%. And a BMTH concert is way more fun than Ed. Sorry Ed. Love some of your music. But it was just flat in comparison. The audience were dead and there were 4 times as many people. Disappointed. But he's good live. Can't deny that.

[@cereal.kill3r]

thank you, they did!!

[@k20a_dave]

being me the horizon is the most complete band of their style in this era, they can do it all and it amazes me, i instantly hooked on this group when i heard sempiternal album, and then they keep surprisingme with collabs and music genres you woudn't expect from this kind of band, alot of people lost interest over the years when they became softer but they can still surprise everybody.

[@planetbea]

Jordan was the best addition to the band, he brought so much new varity to them

[@MJK]

god you made this so painful feel bad for em

[@quetzallishalom9525]

[@vclonev]

I love the project just backhandedly undercuting their legitimacy at every turn, then just ending the interview

[@maddog255]

Over summer Oli trained with us at swimming for what I believe was a charity swim he had coming up, nice guy...

[@user-pixis967]

BMTH was the first metalcore band that I heard back when I was like 14 y.o. and now I'm almost 26. And let me tell you Oli doesn't age at all! He has more tats etc but he looks like he did more then 10 years back Just more muscle packed and less tired

[@sarahlauren5643]

Well let's be honest, he hasn't aged because he got clean, started eating really good based off his dietary decisions, and working out. Good for him!

[@mikeoxmaul9675]

Was 15 when I first heard em. Now I’m 32!

[@louisjones9231]

I remember seeing them in 2011, had pierce the veil as support headliners. They've matured so well as a band and oli has over come so much in that time with his addictions. Without sounding cliche, definitely a big role model. Connecting us with words and the atmosphere in their production of music. It just makes you feel less alone. Something a lot of bands struggle to get across. They haven't outgrown their core belief and thats super admirable. Dope band, dope members 🤘🏻👌🏻

[@angelikabatwoman]

Also let's not forget that famous people have enough money to get botoxed, which he might have, so saying they age well has always to be taken with a grain of salt

[@MoonIrwin0612]

Oli is really such a sweetheart and he deserves the world i love him so much

[@tearfulxsoul]

This interview literally represents my every awkward interaction

[@LM_612]

[@wonderfuljoey23]

[@WheresSeamus]

[@CullyColantino]

Bruh. Bring Me have been around twice as long as Ed Sheeran

[@cyberiagenesis]

I would constantly break ankles with a variety of crossover moves on the basketball court listening to 2010’s BMTH. Lads really get you goin' on/off the court.

[@kirstyneagle2180]

'caught the eye of some of the biggest artists in the world' *cuts to MGK* I'm confused....... MGK is surely riding on the back of bmth's fame after being lucky enough to collab with them 😂😂

[@user-pixis967]

The anchors clearly give 2 shts about them I feel so bad for the guys 😭😂

[@DudeMan-xs3db]
