[@SagittaMoon]

[@memboy.advanced]

Ironic how people call them "posers" though I can't find ANY band as amazing and or talented as Bring Me The Horizon.

[@seanpwalker96]

I have never heard someone call them posers... Bring Me The Horizon are trendsetters

[@savagema6825]

I love ollies hair in this video.

[@TheVesylum]

for any future peoples here, a Bring Me the Horizon documentary should be on my channel by this point. Also have a 45 minute doc on Dance Gavin Dance, and a 3+ hour documentary about A Day to Remember if interested

[@HeyItsTheWykydtron]

[@crazyridiculousJ9]

I totally could have walked up to Oli and said hi to him last sunday but I was kinda afraid he'd punch me in the face so I didn't lol.

[@kbrutal7]

Lee malia is amazing

[@jessicamyslinski]

Oliver Love you Lee Love you BMTH

[@Iloveyournipples]

lol :) when i've started to watch their interviews i couldn't understand one word oli was saying... but now, after a while i understand him very well ;)

[@666isandwasmyname]

Lee is cute not ugly!

[@MariadelmarPoynter]

I like them !!!!

[@Sarah895]

No not just his looks, mostly everything, his music and his voice, and he doesnt look like a roadkill at all

[@whatsername669]

Oliver !!!

[@Bribatman96]

[@Anthonyjsoliz]

Hey! its Sloth from the Goonies!!

[@kimberleylouise9356]

" I fink, I fink, I fink, I fink, I fink, I fink, I fink, I fink, I fink, I fink, I fink, I fink, I fink, I fink"

[@ElectroDanceCuba]

😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

[@ChelseaChiodos]

Lee

[@BloodCat22]

I miiiisssssss Curtis :(

[@slimshadylovers]

The Ghost Inside, nice, Lee.

[@blueamerican54]

They want to release an album in summer 2010. Read that somewhere.

[@thebirdisback]

@Joeyslittlemaggot I'm assuming you mean their accents? They are talking like normal people, they're just not American...there's nothing wrong with that.

[@warriorskk1]

Ohmigawsh, Lee is awesome, haha. I love him. BMTH rocks. I hate it when people call them scene kid posers and "metal wannabes". They have REALLY good music.

[@anneliselovesissues5623]

Lee is fucking adorable

[@Sarah895]

Well thats just you who think he looks like roadkill and I think his voice is special because hes the favorite band I listen to all the time

[@FaceCulture]

hi everyine, the whole interview is now online on youtube! check out our channel

[@Fshzzl]

I WANT THE OLD BMTH BACK!!

[@Nevakee127]

yeaaah! this thursday in mexico city (Y)

[@hpfreak33]

I like the synths and electric drums. It really does make them sound alot different from other bands. They would be better though if half their fans weren't bisexual scene girls.

[@justjaida7441]

My friend saw them at the mall on Saturday and Justin Bieber was at the mall on Friday. They were just shopping there.

[@KayteeisLuv17]

How old are all the band members and what are their names/instruments ??

[@shortycake408]

@lovesk894 wered you hear the new album?

[@LoL8043351]

ohh Oli Sykes.. you and you adorable britsh accent.. it just gets me

[@wandering4104]

1:28 the foreshadowing of jordan fish

[@bobandtheevilturnips]

does anyone know how tall lee maria is ( the guitarist)

[@lakersfan4everrr]

they bringing rock to a new level. someone agree with ,me

[@leshillberg]

@xxxfunnyguyxx08 you obviously haven't seen them live lately. oli's voice sounds damn near what it is off the album. and have you ever tried screaming an entire song of his? not easy. and btw...the new album kicks ass. they're progressing as a band, not sounding like everyone else.

[@JakeLeeProductions]

I cant wait to hear the new album!!!! Im a guy and i think Oli's amazing!!! guys who dont are just jealous lol, but yeah im optimistic about the new one, i think theyre finding themselves musically a lot rather than changing for the worst like some people seem to think. Yes count your blessings was AMAZING, but suicide season was even better for me, i love it, so imma just jizz in my pants when this new albums released :)

[@Zahra-dz5lp]

hope u won't hear anything off their last 2 albums

[@CptPoodlehats]

He can still scream people. Just because someone doesnt want to do something doesnt mean they cant. Remember that.

[@RACH08080808]

I

[@OutfittersWish]

oh wow oli has a nice voice.

[@DanxDestruction]

If they add keyboard or synths, or any electronics they are gonna sound like Asking Alexandria, or Attack Attack. Which Attack Attack, and Asking Alexandria are badass but for Bring Me The Horizon, I'm not sure it would work, but we will see I guess.

[@hoovy1163]

This aged like milk. You heard Sempiternal yet? I'd go as far and say that it's objectively better than anything Attack Attack or Asking Alexandria ever made.

[@StormyDawn]

i luv their accents..i think they're soo cute :3

[@laurennnn1111]

I love BMTH

[@ch33344]

wowie

[@xXinhumanXx]

@swiskon I knowww..... I wish they'd do an album in the future similar to count your blessings. Don't get me wrong though, I do fricking love Suicide Season.

[@snerl69]

:( electronics:( this interview took place in holland holland FTW :D

[@LazarBlackfire]

@metallicarocks767 If you're talking abot the re-release of their Suicide Season Album, it's full of remixed versions of their songs. It doesn't mean they've changed their sound to that...although they might be in the process of doing so. You never know. Lolz!

[@DanGeRfEnCeS212]

I LOVE HIIMMMMMM.

[@Air420Conditioning]

I Love Oli's Tats, They're So Colorfull(: I Had No Idea They Were British Though...

[@anonnboy]

420 likes! :) what is the guitarist's name that quit the band?

[@moonpig118]

Im not sure, im going to try and find out

[@alexlikesblue]

@Quyzx I can agree with you about the people should not be hating on videos, but you should not disrespect ANY band. Like you mentioned Lamb of God and that they were crap. Well some people think BMTH is crap. It's just people's musical preference, so don't be saying a band is crap just because you don't like them. Plus I like Lamb of God and BMTH.

[@MegaD96]

skrillex did the electronika/ programming stuff on "there is a hell..."

[@lisalovesmokie]

Oliver sykes is adorable ;o

[@skittyraeglimmerbug]

@thetraceur123 i love the band, but ive never really looked into their names or like where theyre from or anything like that, i just listen and appreciate the good music(: and oli..... haha

[@lawliet2255]

y do i hear a washing machine going in the background of this vid do u hear it?

[@9Scissors6]

I don't know why but at 0:11 Lee reminds me of Napoleon Dynamite

[@jsh16]

@ScreamAimFire58 I dont hate Suicide Season I've been noticing alot of people hating on bands when they change their style rather than just realizing they wanted to go more vocal or more harsh with the next album rather than the previous one. They should just not listen to that album instead of getting on and hating it. Just my opinion dude and yes please people who get on and hate things because they're different is annoying and immature.

[@tourental]

I bet the tattooist who made Oli those tattoos got happy :D

[@xxxfunnyguyxx08]

@leshillberg I have heard them live lately and Im talking about the suicide season and count your blessings, he cannot scream, and yes i have tried screaming a entire song of this and it is easy if you know how to do it right. The new album is only good because of the lyrics and the instruments, thats it, if Oli learns how to scream again they can be good and everyone has different sounds so you cannot say that they will sound like everyone else.

[@wakeupneo311]

their bass drops on chelsea smile slam on my subs they should make their next cd slower like count your blessings with the sound of chelsea smile

[@markk_888]

Well it really shows that they are doing what THEY want to do and i reckon we should dig it, suck it up, and not hate them for it. but i understand your opinion

[@JoanaSetsGoals]

Isn't the new album that's coming out in oct. Called "there is a hell believe me I've seen it, there is a heaven let's keep it a secret" rite? Lol

[@sophiek4650]

i love oliiii :))))

[@BlaiseTheSlayer]

Lee's face at 0:11 is disturbing in how blank it is.

[@JobForAMaxboy]

@drummerboi14 if it's technically a word, then can you explain to me why it's not in the dictionary?

[@soprettyalanya112]

he has an accent O.O WOW

[@vanitymalia]

my lee fucking malia

[@markk_888]

I see your point of view. They will get a lot of hate for it. Are they making a new album anytime soon?

[@unforgiven125]

@LAXbroCHILLER they where deathcore before suicide season but as he says the sound is changing

[@foolofaguyinlove]

The Ghost Inside Top. FUCK-TO-THE-YES. MAJOR RESPECT for that. (Y) MAJOR. RESPECT.

[@Jalmerk]

@shankbyaspoon BMTH is not Hardcore, not even close... it's Deathcore which is a more Brutal variety of Metalcore which in its turn had its heritage in hardcore

[@Yadirtydaughter]

i LOVE oli sykes, but lee is cute too, you gotta give him credit :)

[@jsrkill]

the reporter is dutch. you can here his accent

[@justjaida7441]

@Metal66671 Well I don't really want to say where I live but it is somewhere in virginia.

[@Aimeek902]

Lee is so cute :') x

[@ilovepwd]

there all good bands you suggested but the electronic sound can only be limited for so many albums

[@Gemactually]

Lee Malia has a baby face n'aww :)

[@George_Washington420]

@CharlieFuckingSmile Well Oli actually is going in your ears, with like his voice.

[@dominitmutalation]

Why does like everyone have to hate.. like music is self expression and all that noise. If you don't like something then more power to you.. ut you dont have to hate everyone who likes it. Thats for any genre

[@thechango2121]

Lee says "like" a lot

[@123Shelbi]

Haha, i feel dumb, i've loved BMTH for like 2 years and just found out they were from the UK

[@theflipper404]

lee's voice is deep as fuck!

[@A7XSynysterJenno]

@Zimx02 Erm dude alot of questions :L !: I like BFMV alot 2: I was standing right at the front. 3: i feel bad cause the crowd gave him a hard time. 4: i dint say he took me seriously. 5: Im not a dumb fangirl, Ima drunk fanboy.

[@ISetYourFaceOnFire]

@TrueReaper777 He has colourful tattoos because he is 100% comfortable with his sexuality which is straight. So stop steroptying people. Why don't you get the balls to have colourful tattoos.

[@memboy.advanced]

@greenmetal9 Their new album is amazing.

[@VennWearsPrada]

fuck yeah, The Ghost Inside shirt. i have respect for the band because they like Four Year Strong, Parkway Drive, and The Ghost Inside. they're growing with a more unique sound with no shitty breakdowns and everything. Oli should shave his head and they'd be sick.

[@xmissrosiembx]

tbh, i love bring me the horizon so im not dissing them and i only made a fucking suggestion, its not like is actually going to happen! brokrncyde shoud have a recording contract cus (eventhought you dont like them) they are a really good band.

[@thedeadpig]

i fuckin love his tatoos \m/

[@GTRSv]

i love oli's tattoos i could never get that many tho lol

[@MrSmileyHasABigDong]

hey is this a dutch interview? the interviewer has a dutch accent :P
