BMTH piss off people that haven't been paying attention for years anyway with new singles "Medicine" and "mother tongue"
Media outlets report that Bring Me The Horizon have gone pop?
Who fucking cares? Who the fuck cares? No artist is making music for you, and if they are theyāre doing it for the wrong reasons. Artists donāt make music for you to listen to, they create because they need to, because not writing these songs would be detrimental to their demise. Yeah I said it. What doesnāt surprise me is people being mad about this now⦠This band went lighter into the mainstream realm fucking years ago. The fact that theyāve gone deeper into what has brought them success is exactly what I expect musicians in 2019 to do. There are way more bands and artists to compete with, even though art isnāt meant to be a competition, it definitely has turned into one. Itās even a pissing contest by people on social media about who can shit on them the most. Every shitty snotty comment about their style changes always come from people who havenāt brought anything to the table. Look if Animals As Leaders wants to tear into them, Iāll listen, but Fuccboi34 on Instagram, kindly fuck off 10x faster than you should.
JUST GONNA PUT THIS OUT THERE⦠IF YOU SAY THE WORDS āI SEE YOUā IN REFERENCE TO AN ARTIST OR ATHLETE, YOU BETTER BE AHEAD OF THEM IN THE GAME. IT IS NOT MEANT FOR SOME COUCH RIDER TO SAY THIS TO ARTISTS TRAVELLING THE GLOBE HEADLINING FESTIVALS, OF COURSE YOU SEE THEM, THEYāRE EVERYWHERE. YET NO ONE SEES YOU. GET IT? YOU HAVE TO BE SEEN TO SEE. THAT IS HOW THIS SAYING WORKS.
Back at it with the Ill Behavior⦠If you need BMTH to be deathcore for you to listen to them, then apparently you like their old stuff. We donāt commend or bash that idea, we understand it, hell half of the idea of this site is to also make fun of that elitist viewpoint on todayās music. We instead would like you to see something for what it is, space. When this band decided to take a left turn into popular sounds, they brought with them their heavier roots. So no matter what, thereās always going to be that heavy guitar and pounding drums regardless of what Oli and Jordan do vocally. Their elements from 2004 are going to dwindle over time because well, they arenāt going to be the same people they were 15 years ago⦠are you the same person you were 15 years ago? I know flat out the guy I was in 2004 would beat the fuck out of the guy I am in 2019. And Iām glad I can say that, because it means Iāve changed. For the better. You might hate that you canāt react at their shows the same way you did at Warped 2008. Hereās my thing⦠this band used to get so wasted on stage that they would blow chunks on their equipment rendering their instruments useless. Yeah. You want those guys back? I know I donāt. I love who theyāve evolved into. Their grown ass men with heart and an absolute shit ton of integrity.
People act like they could live in Oliās shoes for more than an hour and act the same way he did 15 years ago. Itās absurd. The righteousness in fandomās needs to go away. You can have your opinions but it sure seems like a lot of people who want the deathcore BMTH are fucking ignoring the amazing deathcore thatās out there now. You can give up on this shit if it doesnāt fit your teacup baby, I just think you can move on. If you still want the heavy shit I suggest checking out Lorna Shore, Whitechapel, and Enterprise Earth all have records coming out in 2019. This hole created by these dudes growing up and you crying about 2006 can be easily filled by the countless bands pushing the sounds youāre looking for. Instead of bashing the evolution of artists, evolve your listening, or be the elitist youāre trying so hard for all of us to consider you to be. Thatās okay whichever you choose, but with so much good music out there and the ability to find whatever your looking for without walking miles, riding a bus to the city, then sitting in a record shop for hours, AND PAYING FOR THE FUCKING MUSIC maybe cut back the bitching on what art you think youāre owed.
NO ONE PUT A GUN TO YOUR HEAD TO MAKE YOU BUY THEIR RECORDS, TICKETS, MERCH. SO USING THE WORD āUNDERWHELMEDā JUST SHOWS HOW SPOILED WE HAVE BECOME.
Try growing up, having empathy, and maybe realizing just because itās more accessible to make music doesnāt make it that much easier to be a creative group with consistent releases of the same genre over and over when your influences and lives continue to evolve. Look, some people will play thrash metal forever, good on them. Others will change. Others will do weird shit because experimenting with art is actually a fucking blast, the shitty commenters donāt know this because all they do is āperformance artā by shitting on actual artists on social media.
Creating a culture that deems itself worthy of bashing artists while those doing the shit-talking are not bringing anything to the table is what bothers me the most. If the people saying these records these bands are making are terrible just so happen to be creative geniuses, then I wouldnāt be so apt to rant about this shit. Problem is, Derek in St Louis doesnāt know how to play guitar outside of an old version of Garage Band thinks he needs to rip into artists like BMTH. A group that has toured all over the world, worked with countless award winning artists, producers, fucking orchestras, smashing Coldplayās dinner, headlining festivals, and touching millions of people in the process⦠thanks Derek, glad you could bring your raw unadulterated artwork in comment form.
I truly hope the teen angst dissipates when you find bands that you actually like. See we love Bring Me The Horizon here. Actually, love all the shit they put out. Not just because weāre fans of the dudes but because they write music that has spoke to us at DIFFERENT points in our life. Just because youāre 14 and pissed as fuck doesnāt mean the dudes dealing with a divorce, owning a tattoo shop, clothing company, writing a record, and having to please millions of Derekās across the world have to stop what their doing and write Chelsea Smile 2. Maybe this new music isnāt for you, that happens ya know? It really does. I can guarantee this band didnāt write this record to shut anyone up, it instead intended to be something that helps them alleviate the Derekās from their fan-base completely. āIts tripeā or āItās shitā and so is your discography Derek. Where the fuck is your discography Derek? I want to listen to your glorious gift to the world Derek, give me your albums. Dropbox me all your music Derekās out there. For now Iām gonna go put āMedicineā and āmother tongueā on because it feels so good to listen to music that is fucking delicious to us and also painfully excruciating to the Derekās of the world.
BMTH IS HERE FEBRUARY 4TH WITH THRICE AND THE FEVER 333. WE WILL BE THERE, HOW ABOUT YOU DETROIT?
