A few weeks ago, we asked you to put YOUR questions to Bring Me The Horizon.
The best questions from the around the globe were selected, and frontman Oli Sykes took some time out from the band's current European tour. Read the questions and answers below.
DO ANY OF YOU EVER FEEL ANNOYED WITH THE FACT THAT THE MAJORITY OF YOUR FEMALE FANS CAN ONLY MENTION HOW HOT YOU GUYS ARE, AND NOTHING ABOUT YOUR MUSIC?
KELLY, 19, CALIFORNIA.
OLI BMTH: "Not really, it does need to be addressed when a band look as hot as we do. There's no avoiding these facts. If they talked about our music first, and our looks second, then they would be cause for concern."
HAS OLIVER EVER GOT SICK OF HIS TATTOO'S OR REGRETTED ANY OF THEM?
AZAN DUBLOO, 16, SYDNEY, AUSTRALIA
OLI BMTH: "I have a penis tattooed on my leg, and high five tattooed on my palm. I don't regret them yet, but I'm sure when my children disown me as a father, I may have some remorse."
SOME THINGS HAVE HAPPENED TO YOU THAT YOU DIDN'T LIKE. IF YOU COULD GO BACK AND CHANGE ONE THING ABOUT THEM, WOULD YOU? AND WHAT ONE?
TAMARA,12,DALGETY BAY
OLI BMTH: "I don't think I would change anything. I'm happy where I am right now in life and if something were done differently then that would ultimately mean I would be in a different position. You live and you learn."
DOES THE OTHER MEMBERS EVER GET JEALOUS OF OLI BECAUSE HE GET MOST OF THE ATTENTION?
MAY LY, 15, LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA
OLI BMTH: "No, they all tell me all the time how they would hate to be me. I think we are all a relatively shy bunch of people, and none of us are really looking for the limelight."
OLIVER. WHAT DOES YOU HAIR LOOK LIKE WHEN IT IS COMPLETELY UN-STRAIGHTENED/UN-BLOW DRIED ?
MATTHEW, 19, HOUSTON, TX
OLI BMTH: "Like Big Foot's dick."
OLI, WERE YOU POPULAR AT SCHOOL? OR BULLIED?
TOM, 18, CHELTENHAM
OLI BMTH: "Yes, I was extremely unpopular at school. Once the hardest kid in school beat me up and there was a plan for about 30 other kids to kick me in the face once I was down. Good times!!"
WERE YOU SURPRISED BY THE CROWDS YOU PULLED DURING THIS YEAR'S WARPED TOUR AND IF SO WHICH WAS YOUR FAVOURITE CROWD TO PLAY FOR?
CHAZ, 19, HARRODSBURG KY.
OLI BMTH: "Some of the crowds were amazing, we were blown away! I would have to say LA was the best, there were so many kids and to come all the way from the UK and see that many kids going nuts for your band, well, it was pretty special for us!"
IN YOUR OPINION, WHO IS THE BEST BAND IN THE WORLD AT THE MOMENT?
DANNY MCCARTHY, 19, DERBY
OLI BMTH: "Architects."
DO YOU PLAN OR SEE YOURSELVES STILL MAKING MUSIC TOGETHER AS A BAND OVER A DECADE FROM NOW? LIKE, COULD YOU IMAGINE STILL BEING IN BMTH WHEN YOU'RE ALL AROUND HALF A CENTURY OLD?
CHANTELLE, 15, AUSTRALIA.
OLI BMTH: "I would love to see what we would look like playing music in a decade. It would be great. I would like to think our band could last for that long, but I'm a bit sceptical. We tend not to think about the future though, just get on with what's happening right now!"
I'VE HEARD ONE OF THE REASONS YOU ARE CHANGING YOUR SOUND IS DUE TO VOCAL DAMAGE, OR AT LEAST TO AVOID IT, IS THIS TRUE?
MICHAEL BLAKEMAN, 14, KARRATHA, WESTERN AUSTRALIA
OLI BMTH: "No, not at all. In fact the new vocal ranges I use on the new album are a lot harder for me to do than my basic lows 'n' highs. I just wanted to add some more diversity to my vocal range! My voice is still the same when we play old stuff live, don't worry!"
IF YOU COULD CHOOSE ANY ANIMAL TO SPEAK THE HUMAN LANGUAGE, WHAT ANIMAL WOULD YOU WANT TO TALK TO AND WHY?
MARY DID CARLO, 16, PETERBOROUGH, ONTARIO CANADA
OLI BMTH: "Probably a crocodile, I'd try and convince it to be my best friend then ride on its back and kill people."
IF YOU GUYS WERE NOT IN BRING ME THE HORIZON, WHAT WOULD YOUR JOB BE AND WHY????
STEPHANIE, 13, LONG ISLAND NY
OLI BMTH: "Garbage man, I've got the qualifications for that. Either that or on the dole."
WHY DO PEOPLE CALL YOU GUYS PRICKS?
SHANTI IN WAYBOURN
OLI BMTH: "Cos we probably are, although I'm pretty sure the people who say that have never met us in their lives. But I think Paul O'Grady is a prick and I've never met him so I guess its all swings and roundabouts!"
I'M ASSUMING YOU GUYS ARE AWARE OF ALL THE SHIT YOU'RE GETTING ABOUT SOME OF THE SUICIDE SEASON'S SONGS THAT HAVE BEEN PUT ON THE WEB ALREADY. PEOPLE ARE SAYING THINGS LIKE YOU GUYS AREN'T AS HARDCORE AND WENT SOFTY. SO MY QUESTION IS, ANY REASON FOR THE CHANGE?
DAKOTA, 17, SAINT ALBANS, WEST VIRGINIA
OLI BMTH: "In my opinion Suicide Season is the heaviest thing we have ever done. Being heavy is not all about blast beats and low growls, its about aggression, and power. I think Suicide Season has a lot more of this than our previous records."
HI MY QUESTION IS, WHAT IS THE MOST EMBARRASSING SONG ON YOUR IPOD?
FROM HELEN, AGE 14 FROM KENT
OLI BMTH: "Hip To Be Square by Huey Lewis And The News? Or the Hillary Duff album. I don't know, I listen to the worst shit ever, so I don't really get embarrassed."
HEY OLI, MY MUM CAME WITH ME TO THE BARFLY SHOW, AND SINCE YOU KNELT DOWN AND SCREAMED IN HER FACE, SHE THINKS YOU'RE WELL HOT. NOW AFTER READING IN K! ABOUT YOUR GRANNY GROUPIE, SHE'S WONDERING IF SHE'S GOT A CHANCE WITH YA? WHAT'D YA SAY?!!
NATALIE, 18, SOUTHAMPTON
OLI BMTH: "Hmm, depends, is she a MILF?"
I REALLY LOVE OLI'S CLOTHING LINE, AND I HAVE WANTED TO DESIGN FOR CLOTHES FOR A LONG TIME, CAN I DESIGN FOR DROP DEAD?
YUTA, 17 YEARS OLD. JAPAN
OLI BMTH: "Sure can! Send an email over to dropdeadclothing@yahoo.co.uk. We look at all our emails from fans, and if the design were good enough, then they would be no reason not to use it!"
