​@@pwnchmonkey1nahh they're right on the money. Jordan sound is everything

[@ARC117Studios]

Man, considering the recent developments with Jordan having departed the band, this segment of the interview makes a lot of sense. You can tell he very clearly thinks highly of Oli, but he's also extremely frustrated and holding feelings back. Sometimes you can have a work friend, someone you're buddies with at work but not really outside of it. You can work well together, you get along famously, yet outside of work; you don't really have the same relationship. It's not because you can't or don't want to, but moreso because you just live different lives outside of work. On the other end of that, you can have friends outside of work, but cannot work with said friends. I feel like Oli and Jordan are the latter, now. They started off as work friends, but over the years changed as people, becoming friends outside of it--which in turn made it mote difficult to work together. I'm rambling, but I hope my point makes sense lol At the end of the day, Jordan and Oli are friends and obviously respect one another, but they can no longer with work each other.

[@Peacependants]

If you could keep it to a sentence or two that’d be great, thanks! -Everybody

Well, honestly I can't blame both of em. Jordan have his own comfort zone while Olli comfort zone it's edge of the cliff for Jordan, but that what makes BMTH as a band really balance. Olli have his own vision and Jordan tries his best to try visualize it in terms of BMTH Music. Really good luck on Jordan's future!

[@obamacka2008]

I like it that Oli is the one who wants to make lines more clever and gettting better with each song. That gives me hope to still get banger in the future even without Jordan. I understand Jordans decision listen to this Interview a lot more. Was a dope journey with him and he pushed the band forward. Sounds like we will get good music from diffrent artist in the future now.

[@SuicideSeason4545]

It’s not like BMTH wasnt already a solid band pre Jordan fish they legitimately made some of the most iconic metalcore albums to date. They are still definitely going to be writing good music without him.

[@obamacka2008]

@@SuicideSeason4545 I know, but people start to freak out. Maybe they think that all of the "success" came with Jordan. I think he just managed to give the band some more perspective and courage to try out diffrent stuff. There is a good chance their music gets heavier again, that would be awesome.

[@JaneDoe-vz3qi]

This is why i love BMTH because every song is unique. Not like you listen to the album of a band and every song sound the same. Its always worth waiting for a new song to come out. Its a shame Fish has departed but i also can understand him. All the best ! :)

[@cannellechoquart-dillies1815]

Jordan is seriously such a sweetsoul, he will surely be missed in the band and during shows... I feel very lucky to have seen show in his presence. The way he speaks about Oli is incredible, I've seen so many band lose a member or separate from a member and the member then spat out horrible things to the media about the other members who were still part, it's actually beautiful to show that he left for his reasons and he wasn't like pushed away or something. The fact that he explains how the lyrics mean so much to Oli and that he just want something so meaningful and that he felt privileged to work with someone like that really warms my heart. You will be missed Jordan, we still love you since the beginning you've been part of the band, I've listened to bring me the horizon since very young, and today I am glad to say thank you to you and the rest of the band. No one will ever be able to replace your amazing work.

[@Dinadino994]

Much respect to Jordan & the rest of BMTH. I studied and trained in the area of “ unrealistic expectations “ within the travel and tourism industry/consumerism . To other people those high or unrealistic expectations are not achievable. The bar gets set higher & higher whereby other individuals are unable or not willing to participate. Great band , saw them other night 👌

[@carljthatsme94]

You can tell he respects Oli and clearly is on great terms with him but the process wasn't working. We could all see that with the disjointed releases as of late. Fish is super, super talented and will cultivate a strong fanbase with whatever he does next. Be interesting to see what BMTH can do without that talent there.

[@atomicpunk2360]

Their most recent song was done without Jordan and it’s fucking awesome. If Jordan decides to stay in music, I will absolutely love to check out what he does, and BMTH is always a band I’ll look forward to their releases. Best of luck to both parties

[@Icythot-m6i]

listening to the new album i did a listen throughn and i got alot of the song references and stuff, it was cool 8.5 but listening to it over the songs that dont have Fisher on it, and taking those tracks it seems like a forced 2000's nostalgia repetitive cycle which brings it down to maybe a 7-6.5 after a few listen throughs, but BMTH adapts, its what they do, stoked to listening to their future stuff!

[@sleepymonsteraddict]

This sheds some light on why he probably left, which is fair. Clearly he's close with Oli and respects him and I'm happy about the thought that maybe Jordan left on good terms with Oli and the rest. I guess that it became too hard and too demanding and that Jordan wanted to focus on himself more instead, which is fine of course. I hope the two are still friends and i hope they'll both do well in the future

[@sondr3m996]

Ngl, I thought this was gonna be a drama-inducing video based on the title, but I appretiate the video and the thoughts. Looking forward to more from them both!

[@horsracing]

Its really cool watching the videos of them writing music and even though Oli doesnt play instruments or have the technical knowledge, he comes up with these ideas that incorporate some sort of ingenuity involving those aspects.

[@kaitlynnbailey85]

Oli does play instruments he is credited on several of the albums playing extra guitar and keyboard I’m a singer and play 4 other instruments. I often just sing without playing at the same time if I’m in a band

[@tairra777]

He sounds exactly like my guitarist talking about trying to make music with me, he's super anxious and I'm a peacock lol

[@ProphetTLK]

Jordan’s a musical genius, they’re lucky to have him as much as he’s lucky to have Oliver Sykes. All records since sempiternal have been banger.

[@horsracing]

Even suicide season is a banger for what it is, but I agree everything from sempiternal on really steps out and becomes something so much more.

[@DannySlept]

Thanks Oli for make such a effort

[@Dark.177]

Oli is one my most favorite artist and by far in my opinion one of the most talented ones.

[@Orla_Unhinged]

I’ve always loved BMTH ever since count your blessings and Oli is definitely a genius but I feel like him and Jordan are like musical soul mates. He is so incredible at what he does as well and then combining it with Oli’s talent is amazing. He’s definitely being modest a lot of people couldn’t do what Jordan does

[@districtskz]

Wow, just knowing how Oli is while creating music fills my heart, as their music means so much to me and this just makes it mean even more to me than i thought was possible atp. So interesting and i wish we could see their music process ourselves. These two are musical geniuses. Great interview

[@its_fatima]

No matter how many times BMTH reinvents itself the lyrics have always stuck out for me. Makes sense given how much work Oli puts into them :0!

@S nah they actually good af

[@kornelparoczai1763]

Bring me would have been way worse of without him for sure, but I feel like both parties have learned so much from each other that we aren't gonna see many changes. It's actually pretty exciting what Jordan will touch and turn into gold next

[@megilacuttyjones735]

I respect BMTH for changing the sound every single album and still somehow succeeding each time. That's a very scary thing for bands to do...but its nice to see their are bands like bmth...A7X...etc trying new things. Bmth is doing it best right now imo

[@catface]

[@zacksomers1811]

i'd love to hear how much creative control lee has these days, some of their albums have not really focused as much on the guitars and i'd love for him to sit down on the mic more and give his input on how the journey with the band has been creatively.

[@anasarif8378]

agree

[@linkgobrrr3358]

He said something similar to and answer in a Marshall interview. Basically, he says he likes making the different kinds of music that they do and he doesn’t let his ego get in the way of the bands vision. He doesn’t feel the need to prove he can play guitar on every track. If the track calls for it, he’ll shred but if it’s a pop track he’ll help it sound BMTH too. It’s a really good outlook to have on it. Him and the two Matt’s are insane skilled but have no problem taking the back seat to make good, interesting music.

I always thought that Jordan was the mastermind behind the band's success the last 10 years. But after listening to his own words I have a different perspective: Oli is not only the leader but also the mastermind & Jordan have been the best to materialize his ideas. “There’s other people that can do what I do […] I don’t think I ever met anyone who can do what he does.” (3:20) I praise the work of Jordan for all these years and I will miss it with the band and I wish him luck.

[@keelyfolwaczny1472]

He looks like hes stimming with his hair very anxious he likes talking about oli the spotlights off him that way i think the bigger theyve become the more hes wanted to retract for peace. Oli is a big personality and not that hes a lot to handle but you do need to either be a firm calm force or a runner to keep up. Jordan i think wants to work at his own pace the intensitys got to him and he doesnt feel up to par even though hes is.

[@ds698]

[@Skoora]

Oil sounds like he could be frustrating in that some creatives like to be contrarian and take an existing idea and flip it, not because they had a real vision for it but they want control and your work, your idea is just to service their process. Not necessarily something to be embraced and developed as much as a springboard to mold something as if from them…..or he’s truly gifted and the other guys are comfortable with what ever gets him to where he wants to go. It can also take some humility to realize when one person is the creative heart of what brings you success and just go with it. Bands and/or lineups often don’t last because not everyone gets artistic satisfaction out of what they’re doing and burn out. Keeping a band together can be hard, whether you’re rockin’ at the local pub or playing in front of thousands.

[@richardingram2374]

Jordan puts himself down too much. Oli 100% needed Jordan just as much. The Oli of today wouldn’t exist if it wasn’t for Jordan coming in. Not to discredit the other band members of course. Jordan should give himself much more credit, his production is immense and his work has allowed Oli and by extension BMTH to flourish.

[@eclipses3131]

Well we’ll see about that. Oli has other songs that are my favorite that have nothing to do with the BMTH gang. He clearly has an insane creative drive. I mean pre sempiternal was amazing. People who act like their older music isnt good are just dumb. They really undercut everyone pre Jordan

[@richardingram2374]

@@eclipses3131 I didn’t mean it in the sense that Oli isn’t a creative genius because he is but I do think Jordan has helped him get back on track over the years when other influences have caused negative actions.

[@PapaRainYT]

So essentially its.. Jordan would be kinda happy with a song idea cause it felt good which I totally understand.. but everytime he'd ship something over and Oli say "nahh.. needs more" could absolutely be mentally wearing. Basically used the man as a human fleshlight till he was exhausted.

@@KeiGambit Indeed, I don't mean it in a bad way tho. Sometimes it has to be crazy how the songs changes in the production because Oli didn't like it, the breakdown in LosT was slightly different as we can see in some of the tour videos, as we know DiE4u was kinda rushed just to have something to promote the "Post Human World Tour" so I won't be surprised if the band changes something in the release of "PH2" (like those little details on the Radio Edit), also in recents interviews Oli doesn't seem very happy with how Strangers came out so... Maybe they can change something too in the release of "PH2", idk. Those are the main reasons why I think it has to be fun but kinda frustrating.
