Bring Me The Horizon on Reading & Leeds 2018 and their emotional new album 'Amo'

[@AyoAYO-cm6hb]

To all those saying he looks like he’s on drugs for touching his ears: he is nervous and if anything that proves he’s off the drugs. Drugs probably would have kept him calm etc in situations like this, but he seems a little on edge. Paranoia and anxiety becomes worse after you quit and he hasn’t performed in about 2 years. Imagine going silent in the public eye for 2 years, completely changing the way you look and sound and then going in completely confident in your first interview/performance? He is human ya know

[@satanstans2726]

Tom Dunnington facts.👏

[@KingMethyx]

Drugs keep you calm? Just what

[@AyoAYO-cm6hb]

King Methyx well sedated, some make you look crazy, he clearly isn’t either

Nice to see him just be open and chatty.

[@MyApocalypse55]

Yeah, nice interview :)

[@yungdarkking]

Drugs

[@BlenderisedMind]

@Nuclear agreed mate! Dunno why it has to be "drugs". In older interviews I watched, he didn't talk much and looked uncomfy. So it's nice to see his enthusiasm and openness about the new record.

[@comquats101]

Olivier Colin careful, they probably won’t get that reference 😂

[@sergeypoprygin2670]

under pcp people are always chatty and open

[@laurenh8160]

Everyone saying he’s on drugs again... I would think he seems the opposite. He’s more alert and talkative. Maybe he’s just anxious or a little uncomfortable being completely sober now days in one on one chats? Hope he’s at his best!

[@strawberryjpeg6000]

Lauren H I hope so too! Also the lipstick in your profile pic looks gorg, what is it :)

[@joaquin12348]

Being sober sometimes can be the worst things at times

[@tuppens2007]

His body language and he keeps touching his ear and putting his head on his hand is really defensive which shows like you said that hes uncomfortable in this situation and hes trying to close up to whats around him

[@Lu_o3]

He's absolutely not on drugs. He's obviously in his right mind. He's opening up and talking about things rationally.

[@livenletlive4639]

Anyone that has social anxiety and anything related with that will understand why he's very uncomfortable and not that he's on drugs.It's been a while since he was last interviewed of course he's going to be nervous and not be as still as you'd expect.

[@Klaus.ruiz.]

The girl is no one. The girl is herself yeah 👍 Really nervous and socially awkward (that's me when I'm around people)

[@applecake122]

I don't know if he has social anxiety. But he described himself as "pretty shy" in an interview.

[@carolinecoy3164]

Exactly. Plus his ADHD will come into play, I know anxiety comes with that. But you can visibly see it. But he's feeling that and using it, instead of blocking it out with drugs. He seems so much more mature and happy. Love it ❤️❤️

[@carolinecoy3164]

@@Klaus.ruiz. me too. I usually either say nothing, or stupid things. Or become the Joker, depending on the environment. ❤️

[@anarchyart5329]

No... No drugs here, this is what Anxiety looks like in it's purest, but most open form. Yet he still has the balls to get on stage and perform (I'm not even a massive fan of their new stuff, but can appreciate where they're going. Roll on the next few albums. It'll only energize the band and Oli to be a little more comfortable after such a long hiatus.

[@kileykate738]

People keep saying he's on drugs for touching his ear. Ever think he might just be nervous? I do the same when I'm nervous... my hands can't sit still. Lay off peeps.

to all those who are focusing on his mannerisms its obvious that you have never been under pressure to explain yourselves to the world, especially in an artistic context. Olly deserves respect for how he has grown up in the spotlight and how he lives for his art. I think his words will resonate with a hell of a lot of people and its good to see he is still going strong.

[@anthonylalli3186]

Oh, if people are saying he looks drugged, then they should know he isn't! He's 💯% sober. His type of nervousness is social anxiety in respect to who he's speaking to and he is also a little depressed, but like he said, what makes him happy is an audience who loves his music. It's his only way of relating - by finding those who understand or desire to understand him. He responded very genuinely in the interview, his reactions were realistic to his answers. He doesn't look like he takes drugs. He might have taken sedatives though, depressers. He looks like a really good guy.

[@wimgeuens8433]

Really interesting about his divorce and his journey after it. Sounds very familiar and I think a lot of us can relate to the emotions tied to it.

[@nigelcarren]

Great non BS honest interview. Great band, still with a fresh sound. 🏆

[@GallowWood]

Is mantra representative of the album as a whole? "Not really..."

[@radamtv4779]

That makes me even more hyped for the album. Lol

[@shadiyahthomas5184]

I wonder if the album will kinda be like TØPs Trench "not comparing them to top" but like in the of sense of having different styles all throughout

[@captcorleone2606]

Gallow Wood When "Drown" came out, they said if their new album sounded like that, they have failed as a band. Wouldn't you know it, though, when That's the Spirit came out, it sounded like "Drown." That is not to say it was bad, because it wasn't, but I am willing to bet the entire album feels just like "Mantra."

[@GallowWood]

They already said they were copying TOP rip!

[@GallowWood]

tbh I think Mantra wouldn't have felt overly out of place on tts!

[@Callmeishmael40]

He's come such a long way in interviews from just a few years ago, he's getting older and has matured and has alot more to say...Nice to actually hear him saying what he has on his mind, actually letting people in.

[@carolinecoy3164]

Remember the interview where he just kept saying AIDS to every answer. That was obviously his awkwardness and thought it would be funny I guess. But he comes across so much better now. ❤️

Love this interview. So honest and real. Alot of people bitch about the amo album. But it is what it is. And it's what Oli needed to do ATM. I like alot of it, and respect all styles of music. But this band can make any music and make it great in my opinion. I'd love a Collab with Depeche mode. It would really mix well. They're a dark synth band and want to be more rock on some albums. That would make my year. ❤️ Thanx again BMTH ❤️ can't wait to see you live again ❤️❤️ from Yorkshire caz 😁❤️❤️

[@eryktachibana5917]

You know what I hate , people everywhere on bmth videos and interviews saying I think Oli is back to using drugs, first off they all look much healthier and better then before , him touching his ear too much could be just a little coping habit at that time , he seemed cheerful and happy and talkative in a good way but also nervous of course because of the album, and it doesn’t matter how much people hate the new music and bash on the change you don’t disrespect someone like that when they once made music that helped you out when you were going through tough and bad times or just needed a release and escapism to music You don’t disrespect any human being in real life saying oh shit I think they are on drugs again or bmth is dead 💀 r.i.p Oli Sykes If you don’t like the new route or don’t support the band anymore don’t hate and say things for a band who once meant a lot to you and can still mean a lot to people regardless of the change I hate pop music and they are still no where near comparison of that They still have meaningful lyrics Awesome music videos And cool music live or interviews to tell you the stories behind the music if people actually cared enough to look at them instead of judging right away and hating For example The oh so hated Medicine song is meant to be lighter then wonderful life and mantra because it’s based like all of the songs on Olis experience with marriage , going through divorce And how love can be amazing but also incredibly devastating heartache that can tear someone apart There is a lot of meaning to this album To help others going through that and for Oli expressing how it was Medicine is lighter because he doesn’t want it to be to hateful too aggressive or harder because of what it symbolizes and what it means to him and his ex and now new wife who speaks Portuguese and inspired “Amo” which means love in her language There’s actually a lot of interesting stuff to explain the change and how human Oli and everyone in the band is Ask yourself if it was you would you keep making the same music knowing it doesn’t describe you anymore or challenge you to do something different Or keep doing the same stuff just to please everyone around you and not upset fans This isn’t just a famous band It’s actual real life people who aren’t just targets for people behind screens to hate on constantly and put down You may not be happy that’s okay But still remember when you bash on them what it would be like being at the other receiving end bmth may not be screamo or a deathcore band anymore but they are still hardrock and experimenting in cool ways
