Bring Me The... head of the person that did this.

BMTH

It seems emo/screamo/ridiculous in the extremo combo Bring Me The Horizon have been, shall we say, upsetting a few of their devoted fans this past weekend.

On Saturday night (April 7th), the band played a show at Nottingham's Rock City, and obviously full of bravado and excess afterwards, got talking to one or two local female followers.

Anyway, as described by an employee of the venue, the following incident allegedly took place:

_"After the gig two girls tried to get on the tour bus. Later on, the singer, Oliver Sykes, tried it on with one of the girls. When she said no, he called her a dyke and first pissed on her before him and the rest of the band threw her and her friend off the bus. Once off the bus someone within the band through an empty bottle of Jagermeister at the girl's head resulting in this... (see picture).

                                                       "The singer was arrested and the band have been banned from Rock City. The police said they couldn't charge anybody because the girls couldn't say which of the band threw the bottle. Anyways, just thought people should know about this story as it made me feel pretty sick to hear about it."_

The band's label, Visible Noise, issued a statement:

"As many of you will already have heard there was an incident concerning the band on and around their tour bus in Nottingham in the early hours of Sunday Morning (8th April). As to be expected, in the age of the internet and web boards, numerous versions of the alleged incident have been posted online - Bring Me The Horizon and Visible Noise would like to clarify the situation. Oli Sykes was arrested and will appear in court on Friday charged with allegedly urinating on a female fan inside the tour bus, which he strongly denies. Oli has not been charged, nor has ever been questioned or been under any suspicion of attacking the aforementioned female fan. The alleged incident is being dealt with by the relevant authorities currently and a formal statement will be issued once Oli has attended his court appearance on Friday."

The band's MySpace blog on the incident, and the comments beneath it, can be seen here.

Is this actually true?

Or mega-exaggerated?

I mean, he pissed on her?

Police couldn't charge anybody?

Last time I checked it was illegal to piss on someone without their consent.

I'm not overly upset about that fact.

until this

elaborate bizarre promo stunt?

probably not.

JustJay @bamos | 11 Apr '07, 16:55 | X | Reply

They seem to be a band...

...who like a drink, so it probably happened. Best drunk moment? Oli Sykes stating 'My band's shit and kids only like us because of my hair' before vomiting and curling into the foetus position at the Kerrang! Awards.

Nice.

Best myspace comment ever?

"REGARDLESS WHETHER OLIVER PISSED ON A GIRL OR NOT, HE CAN DO WHATEVER THE FUCK HE WANTS."

Band traumatises nottingham people?

surely this was the other way around?

Alex_b | 11 Apr '07, 18:46 | X | Reply

INCORRECT

I think the ones along the lines of he could piss on me if he liked are far better, along with the ones, it must be a lie because oli sykes can have anyone he likes.

I didnt even know who he was until this story. So well done, i now know you as the bloke who pissed on some girl.

lame band

= lame behaviour. Looks like the most unduly hyped metalcore/screamo/whatever band in Britain will get more undeserved publicity

Oh fuck me

they are awful aren't they...

I remember reading an interview in Rocksound and thinking they seemed a bit stupid.

Never heard the music before though.

fullerov @Martbowski | 11 Apr '07, 23:34 | X | Reply

hmm

Doesn't the blood pouring down her face indicate that someone threw a bottle at her?

dsfar @fullerov | 11 Apr '07, 23:43 | X | Reply

Nah,

She probably just got kicked in the moshpit by metal kids doing those stupid hardcore dance moves.

Mainy @dsfar | 12 Apr '07, 00:36 | X | Reply

ummmm

BMTH are NOT emo or screamo. they are a horrible "metal" "core" band with attempted death growls from what i understand. do not besmirch the good name of emo or screamo by claiming these talentless (and apparently foul) arseholes are indeed either. same goes for enter shikari, but at least they never pissed on a woman without consent.

Bring Me The... who?

They sound like a right bunch of pillocks anyway.

onesixfive | 12 Apr '07, 01:50 | X | Reply

what a fucking disgrace

not only the quite ridiculous and inexcusable behaviour of that twat who pissed on/bottled her, but the god awful 'music' they make! If they don't lock him up for pissing on and bottling a girl, they definitely should to protect the world's ears from their shite.

Generic...

...whatever-o band.
Let's write a song! Guitar goes:D-d-d-d-d-d-d-d-duh, pinch harmonic, pointless wankery! Vocals go: "rar, rar, rar, rar. Inaudible whine." Speed the song up a bit. "Chorus". Slow down a bit. Random and pointless guitar solo... AND RELAX.

As pointed out earlier, if you are intending to treat your fans with such disrespect, your tour manager needs to have a Led Zeppelin amount of money in his pocket to pay you off. Otherwise keep it in your pants you little retard.

"if it was someone who no one reli new about or just a randomer, not someone famous, you wudnt give

But he ISN'T famous.
Nor was he at the time.

Other than that, though, a flawless and well-resented argument.

Looks like BMTH horizon have the tone deaf

dyslexic/hard of thinking demographic nailed.

^ Double horizon as opposed to the somewhat narrower

sonic one that their fans inhabit.

HAHAHA this is hilarious

not this article, but how articles like this can bring out the immaturity in people of all ages. Everyone is entitled to their own taste in music, so does THAT really matter? Because this seems to have turned into a bagging session on the fans. I'm sure any of them...no matter how grammatically challenged they seem to be, could find something similar on a band that one of you likes, or could easily make fun of the music you listen to. so maybe you should lay off. both the fans, and the assholes, because all of this is really rather pathetic.
