He actually seems so in touch with society, unlike a lot of celebrities. I saw Bring me live a month ago and it was easily the best concert I've ever seen. New album also slaps.
I love their new album! Love watching them in the process of making new music too! I think it’s amazing he talks to fans like this. That’s also so cool I saw them last Summer with Fall Out Boy!
A lot of Metal bands are way more down to earth and nice compared to Rap and Pop stars. Two other bands like this just off the top of my head are Deftones and Motionless in White, super chill and nice to their fans, almost no ego.
@@SleepBeforeYouThink I've met quite a lot of artists I love, inc Oli (who was super friendly) but Chino is the one person I was truly really really nervous to meet and he was just completely chill and normal :)
"Always looking for inspiration and not just expecting my brain to come up with stuff on its own" That is a superb advice that im probably gonna remember my whole life know. I mean of course i know ideas wont really pop into my head that often but the idea of actively searching for inspiration didn't ever occur to me. Thanks for sharing this.
his advice about "stealing" lines from a book is honestly really good. so many creatives i have followed or talk to have mentioned that borrowing inspiration from others ideas is the best way to develop your own art. obviously assign credit where credit is due, but especially just for practicing, "steal" other's ideas and learn from it to develop your own! also he seems so sweet, thank you for sharing this!
Yeah! No problem! I thought that part of what he said was interesting too. I always think about quotes or something from books that stick out to me to remember when creating something else.
Oli is one of the best poets out there. He is a true artist and his lyrics are some of the best and most beautiful lyrics i've ever heard. He cares a lot about our cruddy world and the people in it. He puts all his pain into his art. I fucking love this guy and this band.
Exactly! The only artist who has been able to pierce my soul while listening to their music has been Oli, he truly pours out his true feelings and emotions into his music and it’s freaking insane how he does it because it’s as if you yourself can feel exactly what he is feeling and singing about
What I take from this is : For longevity and consistency without burnout, take breaks. Go outside. Be active. Take a breather from your work with these, including being connected with people and looking at other media or outdoor reference for idea. When you take a shower or before bed when there’s nothing to do your brain is processing everything and taking in new things.
Yeah, definitely. Focusing on the here and now instead of just things maybe like with work or on social media. Getting fresh air and remembering to “touch grass” as he says.😁
thank you so much for sharing this. he's such a huge inspiration, and it's really comforting to know even your favorite artists struggle in the same ways you do!
Ngl I overcame writersblock in the beginning of the year by listening to their post human survival horror album over and over again. That album will now forever be connected to that particular story😊
Wow! This video came up first as soon as I opened the TH-cam app! I needed to hear this because I’ve been struggling with writers block too and trying to live life in a more healthy and better way. This is my first time getting to know who Oli Sykes is, obviously Ive heard a few Bring Me the Horizon songs and Oli seems like a really great guy! I love this Cameo vid he did for you, as I said I have writers block and I’m wanting to be a musician and this even reassures me more to seek inspiration from other people as I really wanna get creative and create my own stuff.
He was born with extraordinary strong mental power. Scorpio🦂 tiger 🐯 is a zodiac sign that is even strong enough to become a king or prime minister according to Chinese reading. That's why he has natural charisma which can't easily beat by others.
Keeping Demons at bay… hmmm.. For me that’s not obsessing about my reputation, image, ego, comfort, or pride…. Not giving a damn about what people say, do, feel, believe, or think of me and not basing my self worth on the approval of others, thinking for myself and really letting everything and everybody roll off my shoulders…. Accepting reality for what it is and not what I want it to be (which is very hard) and grieving over losses and short comings and accepting things and just letting them go as they don’t matter anymore….. it’s always do better next time…. Learn from my mistakes…. Forgive myself and others…. Let go of grudges and try to move on as best as I can. One foot at a time…. But I tend to self isolate and record music because that’s where I find my happiness…. Away from the noisy world and into a much louder room that drowns them out…. Music has been a passion of mine since I was a kid and nothing brings me greater joy except the creator that gave me the gift… I post this in empathy because I know a little bit of where that’s coming from…. Moving around, recording, producing, traveling, I have at least some idea of what that’s like…
@@TheSofybutterfly idk i hope so! it'd be pretty lame to charge 350$ for a video when he's part of a worldwide famous band that undoubtedly makes a lot of money
Writers block??? I may stand corrected in the distant future but my opinion on this has remained the same for many years. Writers block can be completely destroyed when you can establish a title and a direction and a theme for the song or album you are about to write. For me it’s finding the cover art first with the title and theme of every track on the list…. You then write story boards as if to create the filmography for each track…. Then you write a grocery list of things you want put in each track… for instrumental diversity.. Then you create an instrumental storyboard that reflects each tracks intended film…. You get only a click track without a ping to keep track of the grid, not the metronome…. Drummers keep the damn count not the machines…. You pick the key and key changes if necessary that directly reflect the illustrations…. You be box the entire instrumentals… Do drums, strings, and beyond… Do the vocal phrasing… Then write a series of random phrases that pertain to each story board…. Then replace the worthless nonsense in vocal phrasing with lyrics and vocal tracks…. Destroys writers block instantly….. Say nothing about the fact that you can pull up thousands of songs based on the subjects you’re about to write because literally… nothing under the sun is actually …. New…. It’s just, remade and refashioned into something into someone else’s own words and notes and ways of expressing the same things…. So… You should never really run out of ideas with the right understanding and writing process…. Unfortunately… It takes allot of humility to read and understand all that… To realize what this is and what it’s worth….

this is genuine everyone i see an interview bro looks depressed
New album is straight ass
He literally starts the video by giving thanks
He comes across as such a wonderful gentleman, his aura is beautiful.
I completely agree!😊
love how honest he is. Not a lot of artists are
AWWW HES SO SWEET
Right??💖
He's so iconic. I feel as if people wouldn't expect this from Oli the guy who has a metal rock band but he really is so in touch and nice
Yes! Love how down to earth he is. It’s so cool that he sends messages like these & talks to us!

It’s really good advice I thought too! For anyone! I think a lot of people forget and think ideas will just come to them.

For real! His lyrics have seemed to save so many people. You can tell writes from experience. Can You Feel My Heart is one of my faves.

I love that album! I think I watched their quarantine series on how they were in the process of making Parasite Eve and other songs on there!
Now I just really want to know Oli’s book recommendations 🖤
Me too! :)

basically the best way to avoid burnout/stress is remembering to be a human being
Does he still do these cameo videos?
Yes! He has a profile where you can request! It also shows if he’s available or not. If it says “book a video” you’re in!😁
@@sophiaprater9846 thank you!
Do you know if he’s doing Cameo video for charity??
@@TheSofybutterfly idk i hope so! it'd be pretty lame to charge 350$ for a video when he's part of a worldwide famous band that undoubtedly makes a lot of money
damn I’d love to get a cameo butttttttt just looked at the price lol
Yeah the prices for them seems to keep going up.😂
How cameo app works? U needed pay money to get answer?
Yeah I paid close to $400 to book a video. I was like “😬” but i think it was worth it lol
2:55 oil's used the knife in back line 3 times so far iirc 😅 I think we know u use that trick oli
Support palestine, in touch with society and woke as fuck, what a role model
he be syke'n and I be likin'... I don't know man, don't ask
Also, was 3:25 an accidental happy song reference 👀
