Oli Sykes is BLOWING MY MIND! Vocal Analysis, "Kool-Aid" Bring Me The Horizon

[@mariakoth]

it is funny to see a musician jamming to a song I have on repeat the last week, yes, that's exactly why!

[@karstdeviz3858]

oli sykes is so underappreciated for his vocals. I'm always super impressed

[@brucewillardedralin8457]

his voice take me to bring me the horizon when its my first time throne in Videoke here in Philippines, like dude wow love that voice.

[@naDalous]

The part just after the first chorus is the best part of the entire song, its a shame it only lasts like 5 seconds. It makes me feel some sort of euphoria that's so hard to describe. Similar to the entire chorus of AmEN!. Absolutely love it

[@matthewglover2218]

I really hope that some of they're next singles to come and a few on the album that show them going back to their roots a little. They do heavy so well

[@rewantsharma8227]

Couldn't agree more

[@Poolknot]

I agree with you both, at the same time i think its heavy + that mixed genre that t🎉hey have become.

[@itssomedonkus5700]

I agree, but I also think that that’s what makes these more heavy and intense parts sound so good. We don’t hear them as often so you appreciate it more. At least I love this style now

[@lucaspsm125]

I honestly think it's just the right amount for the song, like a little sprinkle of screamo to make it even cooler (then again I'm not a big fan of their very early stuff)

[@dystonic]

Always appreciated Oli's vocal performances and I totally agree, he's surpassed himself here. And man, what a hell of a song we got here.

[@say1074]

And the fact that he's back to some of his old sounds (mostly during antivist and diamonds aren't forever), but this time without wrecking his voice... just awesome

[@sanyadev97]

Yeah it's almost like he just took some "time off to recover" with softer albums and now he is ready to GO. 😄

[@shunedits6155]

Oli improved so much over the years. I am glad his voice improved and sounds more healthy

[@KartalaBreed]

And he can perform them live. I remember when he couldn't keep that up on tour.

[@KainCarthyst]

It is so awesome seeing how excited you get hearing certain sounds

[@carolinecoy3164]

Yes! I love it. I can feel it with him.

[@juansebastiandavilagomez296]

venia a comentar lo mismo jajaja

[@ccheww]

I know the melody is basic music theory but I havnt heard a contrast like that in all my time and it creates such an incredible experience of a song

[@RickyRespawn]

Dude you seem so excited to listen to the music and break it down that it makes me excited to watch it along with you

[@WhateverTime]

It’s like watching a kid open a Christmas present 😂

[@ellormane]

Saw them play this live a couple days ago at the O2 in London. Oli has some helper tracks for sure in parts but he can still scream out the highs and lows when he wants. Suffice to say it was brutal standing in the crowd when this came on 😂

[@stevenlidster1431]

jelly. hope they headline LtL next summer.

[@carolinecoy3164]

I wouldn't say helper tracks. Bking Track's sure. But it would sound weird without all the layers that are already in the songs, to just not have it there. And JJ did a great job at backing vocals for the most part. A little weak on the acoustic version of strangers. But he's been thrown in the deep end with not much time to practice. I think he will come on in leaps and bounds though. Maybe even become a permanent fixture. Who knows. That's up to JJ though. I heard he was happy with just being with them on tour. Which seems to be most of the time since COVID.

[@JasonsSongStop]

This is definitely my favorite of all their recent tracks

[@Yunoftheclouds]

I’m absolutely addicted to this song and I’m delighted to see you’ve covered it!

[@tdulpeeplesshawdy2101]

I have never heard anything explained like this. Thank you. INSTANT FAN because this is my favorite song om earth atm and you NAILED EVERY SINGLE POINT BEAUTIFULLY.

[@lonnykid2997]

Saw BMTH last week - incredible. Oli's voice is unmatched.

[@keithmpire]

I don't know anything about singing, but it's fun to see someone geek out over the song I've been geeking out over

[@tillguts]

Bro you earned a big supporter and my admiration here. I love seeing people talking SO passionately about their field and your reactions on Oli's vocals are amazing. Because well, I am too always in such awe listening to his singing voice. Cheers!

[@chrisliepe]

Thanks for sharing in the enjoyment and for your support!! :)

[@KimChandlerSinger]

@@Nexo_BB "Bro" who? If you're referring to Chris, who is a "bro", then correct, he's not Oli's vocal coach. But I'm a woman, not a "bro", and have coached Oli (for singing) for the past 9 years and counting 🤘

​@@chrisliepe you can't teach anyone though. I can kinda sing. Wish I'd had vocal lessons. But my bro and hubby are totally tone deaf. It's funny though. And they know they're time deaf so we can laugh about it.

[@mattu.8062]

I agree about the “oh my dear” part. The melody is so good, there’s something about it that really resonates with me. That specific part has been stuck in my head for a while now.

This song is just suuuuper satisfying to listen to! It just feels like - especially with the second chorus - a wall of noise in the best way possible idk. The whole new album blew my mind. Oli's vocals have always been SUUUPER distinct!

[@chrisliepe]

That would be amazing.

[@emkstr]

Unfortunately he doesn’t like talking about singing/screaming. He said so in a Cameo video he did for me. Basically he said it’s difficult for him because it comes from a place of passion and it’s hard to explain. He was very timid about it for such a talented person.

[@carolinecoy3164]

​@@emkstr yeah. He's very humble when he has to talk about himself. In most videos I've seen him. You can tell he's anxious the whole time. But they didn't have to just talk about vocals. Bet he's dreading any interviews right now, because the Jordan question will be on repeat non stop. And it's got to be a tough 1 to discuss.

[@TheSofybutterfly]

@@carolinecoy3164yeah I’ve noticed it too, he is kinda insecure about himself and very shy. That’s really controversial if you think the power he has while performing on stage 😢

[@Joshjamstunes]

FINALLY FINALLY FINALL FINALLY FINALLY FINALLY FINALLY FINALLY Also very very sad about Jordan, was such an important member of the band, especially for backing vocals. Live performances have taken a hit, whoever the replacement back up vocalist is decent but Jordan’s voice just fitted perfectly with oli’s

[@carolinecoy3164]

John Jones. He's been on tour with them as a rhythm guitarist for about a decade now. I think he did a great job for the most part. But he has been thrown in the deep end with barely any practice. There's plenty of time for him to improve. Jordan had already been a bking vocalist in his own band. And Oli taught him to scream. Get JJ in some vocal lessons and see what he can bring. He's got something there to work with for sure. I missed Jordan when they did the acoustic version of strangers and doomed. Which are very tricky vocals. But other than that. He did great.

[@MrLinkinJason]

What happened to Jordan?

[@carolinecoy3164]

@@MrLinkinJason he's left the band. Doing music with spirit box apparently.

[@MrLinkinJason]

@@carolinecoy3164 oh damn

[@carolinecoy3164]

@@MrLinkinJason I know. Shame. I mean they said it was amicable. But who knows. Will miss Jordan. But BMTH will be just fine without him. It's always been oli's vision. So whatever comes next would have anyway. And Oli can produce bits himself and then get other companies to do the rest. which is what they did anyway.

[@Noamyo10]

I waited for you to react for the song eagerly!!! The vocals here are just so (like you said) tasty!! they feel like every line is executed *exactly* like I would want it to be executed. So fun!!!

[@sympotaz2960]

Seen Bmth live last night and it was one of best concerts iv ever been to ( supporting acts were Bad Omens and a pretty unknown UK band called Static Dress which were both amazing aswell). Oli actually got the whole Venue to sing a few lyrics for an upcoming song on the new album that they are working on which was incredible. He genuinely ADORES his fans and supporters and crew, the whole band is very special kind of people which i love!

Known the band since late 00s but haven't tried it until I listened to their latest single. I was so awed with the production and they are so tight. Been my earworm since. I love how you are so excited with certain parts and been replaying like my first listen lol

[@grimtumusprime]

I’m glad that you go through the different sounds and vocal parts, I myself want to get into doing vocals so I like that you break it down more than others

[@Chris-ko7ov]

You are amazing Chris!. I would love to learn how to scream, I've singing since I was a kid but could never ever decipher how to scream properly and safe. I would love to hear your take on Cedric Bixler Zavala, he's one of a kind. Mars Volta has very unique music (not screaming) Cheers dude!

[@DeSanKwuh]

Couldn't anticipate any of that on the first listen - very original track in terms of chord progs / vocal melodies and timbres 👌🏼

[@Urbanizemecapn]

You do very well at analyzing a song especially bmth. I’ve never seen someone do so well at analyzing a song. You broke down each part for it for what it was when it need to be analyzed and you are great

[@TheCrazyGames643]

oli has come so far as a vocalist

[@OoGehleeGehlee3]

Love your reaction ❤

[@Galactic_rats]

You should check out some of the videos from there latest uk tour. I have been going to see this band for 18 years and I could never have guessed where they would be this far down the line. It is really incredible. Oli’s voice has never been better. Easily one of the best live vocalists in the genre.

[@carolinecoy3164]

Agreed. I was blown away when I saw them in September 21, But they're even better now. Oli's Vocals are so much stronger and so amazing live now right. He used to be hit and miss, but when he hit it was glorious. Wish I'd seen the royal Albert hall show. The fact that they used the intro for that was sooooo good. Very emotional with the old clips of them, Inc Chester. 😮 That was great. And noah sabastian is an amazing live vocalist too. When they did antivist together. That was great. Sadly no yungblud in Sheffield. Wish I'd seen them at the 02 aswell now. Love this band. And the leaked songs sounded great

[@carolinecoy3164]

Just seen them in Sheffield on Friday. And OMG. I was nervous about Jordan not being there,. And I didn't think they could top when i saw them in 2021. But was i wrong. The stage set up. Oli's vocals perfection 😘. JJs bking vocals (for tbe most part). His softer tone isn't that great, especially when they did the acoustic version of strangers,😬. But thats the only time i thought, damn i miss Jordan. But hes been thrown in the deep end, si theyve got time to work on that fir sure. But overall. Outstanding. . . Plus bad omens did a perfect performance too. Amazing night.. Theres rumours Jordan has moved onto spiritbox. And im not so keen on her vocals at all. But I'll see what Jordan brings to the mix. I said i would follow his career. So i will defo check it out ifbits true. Amazing break down as always though. X
