Bring Me The Horizon frontman Oli Sykes has addressed how he feels about fans of the band who wish they would return to the sound of their earlier work.Despite starting out as a deathcore band in the mid-2000s, the Sheffield rockers transitioned to a more mainstream-friendly, electronics-laden sound on their landmark albums ‘Sempiternal’ and ‘That’s The Spirit’, released in 2013 and 2015 respectively.Speaking to American radio station KFMA, Sykes said he thinks he has managed to “soften my approach” towards those detractors.“It’s very easy for them people to piss you off and you’re just, like, ‘Fuck off.’ But at the end of the day they just love your band and something you did meant so much to them that they just want you to do it again,” he said [via Blabbermouth]. “And you’ve just gotta realise that even though it might annoy you, it comes from a place of love.
And rather than fighting back, you’ve just gotta appreciate that.”“To a certain degree, we can’t be the band that we used to be. We wouldn’t know how to do it, and we wouldn’t know how to do it with any authenticity or integrity,” he continued.
“But sometimes those people can remind you, like, ‘Wait. Are we losing what makes us special?’ And that’s what I’ve asked myself over the years.
It’s, like, some people that are sad because we’re not as heavy anymore or whatever, do they have a point?”He went on: “10 years ago [I never would have thought] that anyone would’ve ever said our band are gonna headline festivals one day or that could be the biggest rock band in the world. And then, all of a sudden, those kind of ideas started formulating and people saying them.
