Matt Nicholls | Bring Me The Horizon Answering The Most Asked Questions On The Internet

[@Luna]

Matt is a legend. In 2008 BMTH had a show in my tiny ass hometown and the venue wouldn’t let me and my older brother in because I was 9 years old and the show was 16+. When we were walking away I saw Matt loading his drums in at the side of the venue and I walked up to him with my older brother and said hi and he asked if we’d be seeing the show. We told him that we can’t see the show since we couldn’t get in, dude proceeded to take me and my brother up to security at the back door and argued with them until they let us in. Not only that but he let us watch side stage and let me meet oli and the rest of the band before the show started. Will forever be one of the best moments of my life and meant so much to me and my brother. Shoutout Matt

I loved the questions and the fact that Matt was the one to answer them!! He's so brutally honest with the answers, it's great. Buuut I disagree a lot about the old songs. Sure, the first EP and first album are really hit or miss tracks, but Suicide Season and There Is A Hell are great original styles of music with a lot of musicality and spirit to them! There's just a lot more screaming. And the majority of the fanbase probably likes the newer stuff, but there's SO many people who would love to hear songs like Suicide Season, Diamonds Aren't Forever and It Never Ends live, trust me. Kind of a pity that concert times are so limited.

[@delta2426]

yea, absolutly! and i dont understand why they dont do us the favour and just play at least one of those old songs live.. i saw them live a few days ago in Germany and the concert was so awesome, but I wish they would have played Pray For Plagues.. even if they dont like those songs anymore, its just one song and they would do us such a favour..

[@RanDieBam]

@@delta2426 Yeah, I was pleasantly surprised when Metallica played St. Anger in their set 2019. Would be similar with Pray For Plagues. :D Although I'd prefer 2nd or 3rd album tracks as they're artistically and emotionally more relevant to most fans

Matt is an absolute legend

[@ambreegold2324]

of all the bmth records I love Sempiternal the most. Matt says how they were all kind of struggling at that time, and I love how the album represents a not so hidden vulnerability. I always could connect to Sempiternal the most and deepest. I think it´s truly their best (if you look at the album as a whole). But every album itself is a work of art, you cannot really rate them. or even rank.

[@chaosaintme9067]

@@darkflame2067 What are you talking about? You just pulled that out of your asshole! lol. BMTH never said they regret the old songs. OP never said he regretted that past either. It's just that they got sick of playing the same shit over and over again, when they already made several newer songs and RIGHT NOW means something to them. It's relevant to them now, while that old suff MEANT something all those years ago. Nto anymore they've moved on and BMTH as always been a very crative band, they never made the same album twice, they liek to experiment and progress with their sound. And that a good things, cuz keeps them relevant and there's always the possibility of releasing a great album, maybe even their best music ever.(even you you don't like it). If they kept playing the same style, the same songs and making the same album over and over again, that couldn't happen cuz they wouldn't be making anything different it would be just what you've heard before, done better when it meant something to people who made it. Thats the case fo every band that never really changed their sound. I'll even use examples from bands i like Slayer and Cannibal Corpse. Their sounds didn't change, pretty much the same and I almost everything they made. But people only care about their classic early albums. That's everybody's favorites. Not the new ones.

[@ProphetTLK]

I mean, we wanna hear the old stuff because we like it. We don’t wanna just hear Amo amo amo and TTS all the time. The deathcore is just classic we want to hear.

[@carolinecoy3164]

Nice to hear from Matt. I love Oli and Jordan who usually do the talking. So nice to see you Matt. Great answers btw. I agree. The band has way more talent than they ever did. Love pretty much every song. And you can really tell Oli has improved. Live especially. Not a huge fan of the early stuff. I'm Chelsea's smile onwards. But I wouldn't turn the ids og song off.bgoos for a laugh and to really see how far they've come. My son's friend is related to Lee so I'm hoping I get lucky and meet you guys at some point.

I agree this band better songwriters and musicians than they used to be. But I still miss the shred and breakdowns Black and Blue and For Stevie Wonders Eyes, Pray for Plagues still hold a special place for me. It’s hard to be one of the bands that were the frontiers of Deathcore and resent it.

[@NIRVANAmat]

There is a hell and sempiternal, best two albums. Wasn’t a massive fan of suicide season back in day, loved the art and different bits and pieces.. but now I like much more ;) I miss the heavier stuff, and I appreciate the need to experiment. I would however say, my favourites are held from back in the day still. I was big into metal and those two albums mentioned above.. they were really something else. Started with count your blessings, and even this is what the edge of your seat was made for. Which was like one of the very first (if not THE first) thing bmth released. I think I was about 15 or something. Anyway, good interview always down to earth and I appreciate that part remaining. Good attitudes, and oli did learn to sing.. that’s really evident. Massive improvements, and I love that it’s addressed now too haha! Good stuff

[@RhettegettBorshow]

@@littlegreen9274 well he did say their head is in a different space now. They've grown older and maybe they don't identify with older songs as much, or maybe they have memories about themselves from that time that they're not very proud of.

I also respect when they do play old songs anyway :D

[@Rachel8260]

they don’t want to forget they made them, they just have made songs they prefer

[@user-kr9ty2tj9q]

the majority of people is 10 years already not from the suicide season, believe me... though I am. most of the people on the concert were there for the first time after the posthuman. and amo was the best selling album of all when it was sold, and that's the spirit is the best selling now, so I don't think so

[@NicBrandon]

I mean, they don’t though. They did a whole festival centered around them last year. Save for their 2021 UK tour, pretty much every tour since 2018 has had a song from the first 3 albums on it. It’s like what he said: they just prefer the newer stuff. Oil’s even got the false chords from SS back; I saw them do Diamonds last October and it was basically identical to the album, save from Bryan Garris’ parts. They definitely had something against it during the TTS era, probably because Oli’s voice was kinda blown, but they’ve come around (or at least Oli has).

Believing to have bettered themselves with every album, Oli enthuses that it’s not that the band don’t want to play their older material, but they struggle to fit those grunting gangbusters in alongside the likes of Drown, so will be exorcising those demons to their fullest, picking tunes they haven’t played in up to 15 years. In a strange twist of fate, however, it does feel as though actual heavy music is on the up again, and the new breed of abrasive acts like Pupil Slicer, Heriot and Wristmeetrazor wouldn’t sound out of place alongside those early BMTH records. But will we ever see Horizon ever go full-heavy again? -Oli's own words in an 2021 interview with Kerran

[@its_not_fair9866]

I kinda understand them.

​​@@its_not_fair9866or fun's sake! That's the simple answer at least, as well for me as a musician. It can be really invigorating to explore older compositions. You might actually still like some.

Just stop asking for the older stuff

[@megaman5627]

Why did they sell out and become such a pop girly band is what I want To know

[@castielangelofthelord1992]

I don't like how he says "we have better songs." To me and a lot of others, their first album contains THEIR BEST songs. Music is subjective. So when people ask them to play old songs, it is because we as fans WANT to hear them. They are our favourite. Matt is being lazy because he doesn't want to play fast

[@littlegreen9274]

Not sure that he's being lazy. But he's surely being ignorant

[@ebrh1502]
