Oli referring to people at the show as Kids…. Lad I wish, I’m 33 and been following you since 2008 😂

[@btothec4650]

Bro, after years of recovering from awful addiction and searching for a style, Oli looks fucking great. I'm so glad that he didn't stop singing. Big ups Oli and the band.

[@maJastoL]

Ket will do that

I turn 30 next year, i feel far,far from a Kid!! 😆 My back and legs were so sore during and a week after the January Nex Gen tour in the UK!

[@jocelynhaswiiings]

bmth has always been such a great group of musicians and artists, im so happy to have been around for so long to see them become so recognized

[@MisterBolticus]

20 years in and their heart is still entirely in the scene that raised them, that they now lead You love to see it

[@imthecrazyone23]

Out of almost any bands evolution over the years, I respect bring mes the most. This band has made literally almost every genre you can think of except for country and the made it work in their own way. They've been slowly getting heavy again and I can't wait for nex gen!

[@jazazzaza]

6:00 bmth and bfmv in 2009/2010 was awesome but tbh I feel like bmth are peaking again rn. The music they've made recently and the setlist now is killer.

[@leas8536]

im a simple gal, I see bmth i click like instantly

[@leas8536]

shame on the bartender though

[@krazykyle747]

I saw BMTH live in Melbourne for my first time, and it was one of the best concerts/shows I have ever been to. They deserve all their success and i have been a fan for years. Proud of this band and it really feels they are only just reaching their stride. Olis vocals were incredible, the spectacle and production was next level.

[@crypticutopia7228]

I saw them in Adelaide a few days ago. Second time seeing them (first time in 2022 at Good Things Sydney) and it was a great show! They never disappoint

Mat and Matt

They have short names Olí, Matt, other Matt, Lee, (Curtis, Jonah, Jordan)

[@robbiejacobs4379]

VEGAN MENTIONED RAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH

[@lidshhjojsh1733]

Finally

[@HEADASSLOOKINGAHHH]

He barely shows up in interviews these days, good to see the lad there

[@Bringmethehorizondude]

Always appreciate when Vegan graces us with his presence. I hope he knows that he’s loved and vital to the band. Easily has the best stage energy and moves of all of them.

[@bethmetal66]

Great interview, so nice to see the boys so happy and looking forward. I've loved this band forever, they work so hard and deserve all their success. Also, I'm gutted I'm not in Oz right now. BMTH and Sleep Token? It's the stuff dreams are made of..

[@benandben619]

You guys nailed your show on Wednesday! Saw you guys 16 years ago at billboards in Melbourne with a day to remember and parkway drive! That fact you played diamonds are forever was such a throw back Thank you legends! Keep charging

[@Dionisia404]

I tried to count Oli’s “like”…I lost it somewhere 42😂

[@Fqbbp]

Im surprised, I thought this was a thing teenagers do for whatever reason. 🤔

[@shimahdnb]

He grew up int Yorkshire

[@user-he2mi5jh3u]

I can't feel my heart. ILOVEYOU OLIVER. What a blessing being able to hear you speak 😊

[@aza454]

it's great to see they've managed to keep the spark going. I love that Oli can still release singles that are so far removed from what he has done historically because he wants to explore other things and that they managed to find that happy mix as to what fans think BMTH is now. The comment around "kids still need mainstream heavy music" made me think of Linkin Park so much - BMTH will always feel like the successor of them for me. Can't wait to see you guys this week - hoping I can get in early enough to see Daine too! Also really appreciate the comment that they aren't "limiting" their openers because Sleep Token are fucking elite performers as well.

[@gabluvsbmth2337]

loved the questions in this interview

[@kiwieye]

Being a fan for over 11 years now it makes me so happy so see them still having fun doing what they love.

[@reginajohnson5122]

Same! I stopped listening for a few years so I’m getting back into them, Survival Horror is so refreshing!

[@a.c.b09]

I've been a fan since 2005 (I was 12/13) and am still a fan now. Got to see them at both Melbourne concerts and they were just as amazing as they've always been. If BMTH are playing, I will be there

[@Griseldaxo_]

I’ve always been a fan of BMTH since I was in high school, I’m 30 years old now and still listen to them.❤

[@katiekamplain4040]

I think if you truly are a fan of a band you follow them no matter what path they decide to take when it comes to growing and changing up their music!! The evolution of bmth is truly amazing to me!

[@Reznor440]

Saw them on Friday night for the first time and the show was incredible. Extremely entertaining, a great stage set up and the vocals and band sounded perfect. Would go again in a heartbeat

[@SweetGravityKj]

I grew up with them, I trust 'em since 14 years ago and I still do, they helped me through a lot. I didn't like 2 songs in all my life 😂 can't wait for their new stuff. Love you guys 💖

[@shawndefiore]

What 2 songs? I’m curious now cuz thats crazy that they are that consistent

I was there Sunday night Sydney show and it was absolutely memorable, everything was bloody on point, daine, make them suffer and sleep token were on point too, was a bloody great experience and will forever remember it as a bloody perfect night. Thankyou 🤘🤘

[@purplefaerie]

I was there too - the show was phenomenal! I took my Mum who isn't the biggest fan of their music but by the end of the show she had tears in her eyes and wanted to know more about them and their music!

[@1276Tim]

Bloody awesome stuff 🤘

[@ashleighcleaver9009]

I can vouch for that to as my first metal concert with my hubby and the metal community that night was damn good honestly. Everyone has gone through similar experiences and I just loved the atmosphere the people were so awesome so kind and on top of that the concert was fricken awesome it felt amazing. And people's outfits as well my god it was so cool I wish I could be in that moment forever it was so good.

Most memorable BMTH show for me Kingston Peel 2006 in tiny pub venue (Count you blessing was their latest album), they were so close Ollie Sykes kneed me in the face haha (by accident of course) Download was amazing too a real achievement, great to watch their evolution loved the new stuff too glad their not afraid to grow musically!

[@CoverBrazilian]

Bring Me The Horizon is the first band I’ve EVER heard say “we’re not going to randomly change our stuff and do what we want to do, we’re going to do what our fans resonate with”. Wow… most bands always say “f the fans, we’ll do what we want” and they fade into obscurity.

[@EliLemke-ft3fs]

Yeah because if you don't it doesn't sell records

[@TermiMurasaki]

In this interview they literally say they did do that 🤣

[@samrunsads]

They used to say the exact opposite, but I guess they changed their mind. They got tons of flack for changing sounds on basically every album except the last one, and they've always said they didn't care, they play what they want.
