Bring Me The Horizon on 'Nex Gen' and life after Jordan Fish: "You have to accept who you are"

“Life after Jordan Fish” the title makes it seem like Oli divorced him 😂

‘I wasn’t healed I was just distracted’ hits so hard, Im so glad oli can talk about these things, hes a real inspiration!

He says no to a documentary but I would definitely read a book on this gentleman's mind.

Holy fucking shit, now I can’t look at the album the same way anymore, everything was planned and structured out with such a beautiful narrative in mind, that and how it tackles the shared human experiences of struggle and recovery. This album feels like a calling card for mental health in general, I love it.

This is the most personal and raw interview I’ve seen oli ever do. Absolutely loved every minute of it.

Ngl, i was kinda worried of Oli's mental health considering the lyrics of Nex Gen and what happened with Chester Bennington, but i'm glad he seems so level-headed and composed. I hope Oli stays with us for a very long time cooking banger music

Oli is a great example of someone who analyzes people's behavior (and his own) and learns from it. I know it drags you down when you realize you've fallen back into some of your old problems / bad habits again but I hope he knows that it happens to all of us. He doesn't seem to be aware of what an incredible person he is. Thank you for letting him talk and not just getting material for clickbait / headlines.

Creative genius, storyteller, deep thinker... I love how he is.

Whether you enjoy BMTH's music or not, whether you like the newer stuff or not, you can't deny this dude is amazing, he's a real artist and such a down to earth and intelligent person. I love how open he is about all the darker stuff, it's so important and helps heal others. It's no wonder BMTH are becoming one of the biggest bands in the world.

it’s nice to hear Oli carefully explaining in his own words what happened with Jordan, rather than see him quoted in one sentence and not knowing if the quote is true etc. Great interview

I met Oli walking around the beach in Scarborough a few years ago and, even though he was with his wife and friends, he stopped for a photo and a chat and he’s the most down to earth “famous” person I’ve ever met. A real gent. New album rocks too! 🤘🏻

It really breaks my heart seeing so many people write hateful comments about the new album when it’s about the personal struggles Oli has had with addiction and literally wanting to be dead. Ok, so you like the older BMTH better. We love that for you because most BMTH fans love the older content too. If that’s more your style, just go listen to that and remember that Oli is part of the reason those masterpieces exist. He still deserves respect, as does the entire band. These are real people who don’t need to be insulted on the internet just because their art doesn’t meet someone’s expectations. If it doesn’t resonate with you, it’s not for you.

Oli will be 40 relatively soon, holy crap that makes me feel old.

i genuinely could listen to him talk for hours and never get tired. his explanations of the songs are incredible and make them so much more powerful. i really appreciate whenever he dives deeper not only into the meanings of the songs, but also just how we as humans with intense emotions operate; he struggles with his own battles, and it gets really fucking heavy, but he knows it’ll be okay eventually. he knows the journey to feeling content with life isn’t short or easy in the slightest, and going back into bad habits is so so easy, but he knows what he wants, and learns more about himself everyday with the self help he practices. it helps inspire me to try to find myself and figure out what I need to be happy; but accepting who you are is such an important first step and i’m really glad he made a point to single it out and give attention to it. hope he’s able to relax a bit more now that the album’s out. and i hope the next one isn’t rushed out or as stressful; they’re making art and i’ll wait as long as it takes to hear more <3

i feel like just letting Oli talk is the best tactic while interviewing him, but the questions were also so good and so important, great journalism, Andrew!

I firmly believe BMTH could do an entire solo headlining tour. Sell it out and easily have 3 hours of bangers and show.

im genuinely proud of oli for what he represents and chooses to put out there. I got emotional when he started talking about hearing both sides, not blaming victims for existing and seeking a way of understanding on the path to just coexist happily. I really needed to hear something coherent and genuine after what has been happening to us as a society lately. good on him for finding such joy and peace in his art. good time to be a metalcore fan.

At 52, I can honestly say that there are not many bands out there that truly hold my interest, devotion or respect to anywhere near the same level as BMTH do. 4 humble, normal lads from Sheffield, and Oli who is a true inspiration. Loving this new album which is on constant repeat. Great to see how far Oli has come and really enjoyed the extra insights in the interview. Hoping for many more years of creativity and self discovery. I will be on the journey with you x

You can so tell this was a "bands album" Lees riffs are absolute fire. So many different influences, so dynamic

What a great interview. So nice to hear Oli just talk.
