Bring Me The Horizon‘s Oli Sykes has branded their song ‘Medicine’ as “shit”.
The third single of their 2019 record ‘amo‘ was heavily played during their tour that year, but has since trickled out of the Sheffield band’s setlists. After being played just 17 times between 2020 and 2022, the song has not been performed since.
Now, Sykes has shed light onto the reason why at the band’s recent show in Germany. Playing at Hurricane Festival in Scheeßel, he asked the crowd what they wanted to hear next.
When a festivalgoer shouted out ‘Medicine’, he replied: “‘Medicine’? Are you guys all right? You’re good, you’re good, right? You guys would like to hear ‘Medicine’? Even I think that song is shit.”
Sykes did offer some alternatives such as ‘Pray For Plagues’, ‘Chelsea Smile’ and ‘Don’t Look Down’. Watch the moment below:
At the same show, the band brought out Sykes’ father Ian to duet ‘Antivist’, with the frontman saying: “Make some noise for the coolest dad in the world!”
Ian is the latest guest vocalist on ‘Antivist’, with members of Bad Omens and Sleep Token having also previously provided support on the track while Bring Me The Horizon toured the UK and Australia.
The frontman recently spoke to NME from the band’s HQ in Sheffield fresh off releasing their latest album, ‘Post Human: Nex Gen’. It marked the second album in their ‘Post Human’ series, the first, ‘Survival Horror’, was released in 2020, and ‘Nex Gen’ was surprised released last month after multiple delays.
The band initially planned to release four ‘Post Human’ EPs in a year, but changed upon lockdown lifting: “We thought we were going to be in lockdown for a lot longer than we were. We thought we could bang out a few EPs in that time. We also thought these EPs were going to be a little more humble and a bit of fun.”
