From the Editor's Floor: Bring Me The Horizon

AN ACQUIRED TASTE



According to drummer Matt Nicholls, BRING ME THE HORIZON’s thoughts regarding their slot on this year’s Rockstar Taste Of Chaos Tour can be summed up succinctly in one word: Stoked. The quintet are especially looking forward to sharing the stage with Thursday.



“I used to absolutely love that band,” Nicholls continues. “Matt [Kean, bassist] and I both went to see them play in England years ago. We didn’t know each other and weren’t a band then, but we both remember that gig.”


Despite being handpicked by tour organizer Kevin Lyman after their breakout run on last summer’s Warped Tour, BMTH still can’t believe they’re on the bill, let alone as co-headliners. “When I heard who else was on the tour I was shocked,” admits BMTH frontman Oli Sykes. “I thought every other band on Taste Of Chaos were bigger than our band. It still doesn’t make sense to me.”


The band are sure of one thing–they know what chaos tastes like. “It tastes like a big, sweaty penis,” remarks Sykes, before laughing. Hear that sound? The internet rumor machine just went into overdrive. –Andrew Kelham
