Bring Me The Horizon were caught up in an onstage brawl last night (October 3) in Salt Lake City.
The band - who are currently headlining a tour with support from Parkway Drive, Architects, Deez Nuts and On Broken Wings - were forced to leave the stage for 45 minutes while security cleared the stage.
"This whole show was one brawl after another," says YouTube user hencethemagic0, who uploaded the footage which can be viewed below. "This took it too far. All the straight edgers jumped on stage and jumped Oli Sykes and the rest of the guys from Bring Me The Horizon. The entire crowd was fighting each other for about 15 minutes. It took 45 minutes for the band to come back out on stage."
Check out the chaos unfold below.
The band could not be reached for comment. Stay tuned for more details.
omg. some people are obviously just jealous of the talent here :|

People need to leave Bring Me The Horizon alone. They are such an amazing band who produce really good music, and people need to come to terms with the fact that other people love Bring Me The Horizon, and if they don't like the band well then they should just keep their opinions to themselves, and their fists and stop starting fights with the band. They deserve to be where they are today.

As bad as it is, I've seen Oli shout to people in the crowd "Get up here if you want a fight" or something like that it was only gonna be song long before someone actually jumped up a hit him. Still, not something you wanna see at a gig

I'll start off by saying that I don't like BMTH, however the actions of a few people at their Salt Lake City show are deplorable. The fact people went to that gig just to cause trouble is ridiculous. I really cannot stand people who do that, because it ruins the experience, both for the band and the fans. There are people who will have been stopped going just because people wanted to cause trouble. Oli's reaction may of provoked the situation somewhat, but at the end of the day I'd agree with him telling them to leave the gig. I play in a band myself and if anyone ever tried to cause trouble at one of my gigs I would stop playing and not start again till they'd be ejected from the venue because I wouldn't want my fans night to be ruined. And the fact they then want on to try and attack them was even worse, because there was absolutely no need for that, or justification.
right, oli called them pussys and challenged them to a fight....so its his fault that they jumped him. his getting too cocky and its about time someone shut him up

Regardless of whether BMTH are a good band or not, no band deserve that kinda shit on tour.
i mean you pay all that money for a ticket and what do ya do? jump on stage, stop the guys mid set and just wreck everything! you ruin like the ENTIRE night! a lesser band would have potentially cancelled the night and the entire tour because of that! the rest of the bands coulda refused to go on, but no, BMTH went back on after a mere 45 mins. that right there is fan loyalty. i aint a fan myself but cut the guys a break, they handled it brilliantly.
stupid fucking wasters tryin to ruin an epic night for all the bands and fans there. wastes of air man.

this is disgusting! i absolutely love bmth, they're all lovely boys! what fucking idiots go to a gig if you don't like the band? don't go to cause trouble and ruin it for all the other fans there and the other acts! fair play to oli telling the fuckers to get out! i wouldn't continue with the set if they were still there hurling abuse at me! and i'm sure no one else would, so why is it so bad that oli asked them to leave!? such selfish little cunts. oli is a lovely person, sure he has his moments, but don't we all? he's on fucking human for goodness sake! no matter how much i HATED a band, i would never do such a thing!
The thing is though, they all had the balls to come back on that fucking stage and perform. How many of you guys hating on them have the balls to do that? Obviously none of you! cunts.

I'm not a huge fan of BMTH, i like the whole attitude behind the band, just not really their sound. But if you pay to go to their gig your paying to go support the music not to take the first chance you get to beat them up. They've worked to get where they are today and that should be respected whether you like them or not. Oli had every right to say what he did, after all it was his gig, his way of making a living. I bet none of you would like it if they came into your work place a started throwing stuff at you and they tried to punch you.
And also you want to beat someone up? don't do it so it ruins the experience for everyone else those people actually wanted to go see them, BMTH are an important band for most so don't like them? then just fuck off and leave them alone, don't beat them up at their own gig. Seriously show some fucking respect.

Stupid yanks. If you don't like the band or want to start a fight at a gig in general then you should GTFO. Simple as. No place for senseless violence in live music.

Oli totally encouraged this. There are a lot of bands on this tour, clearly people who are not BMTH fans are going to go if they like the other bands playing.
I saw them at Leeds and they got a really mixed reaction from the crowd, although I'm sure the only thing I heard Oli say was 'fuck you all' for about 45 minutes.
People should have more respect than this though, if you don't like them there is no need to start a brawl.

I think bmth had it coming, some say they should'nt have been at the gig if they did'nt like them but there are 3 other bands that the crowd may have payed theire money to see. I don't like bmth, they're rude and untalented, i've seen them twice not from my own accord, they just played before the good bands I wen't too see and they were utter shit, Sykes should get anything coming to him. This video gave me a good laugh :)

This makes me so angry, Oli and the others DID NOT deserve this! They've worked hard to get where they are today and don't need a bunch of good for nothing retards beating them up on stage. I hope those idiots die in a hole. >.<

So, to sum up:
1) Don't bother going to a gig of a band you don't like, simple.
2) If the front man is going to call the crowd names, tell them to come up for a fight, and (as I have heard them say at various times they've been supporting gigs I've been at) telling the crowd to 'punch each other in the face' or 'kick the shit out of each other' he can only expect his encouraged violence to turn back on him. If you ask me, he had it coming.

To all the people out there who are saying its Oli's fault for shouting at the crowd, he was ony shouting at the group of "hard lads" who stomped on a kids head during their set. He wasn't shouting at the crowd in general, all he was doing was sticking up for the geniune fans in the crowd who had, had to suffer these idiots all night. They also broke a girls jaw and had started fights throughout the night, they sound really hard beating up kids and girls. So ask yourself if you were playing a gig and some idiots were beating the shit out of all your fans would you just carry on and do nothing? If you would just carry on then you dont deserve fans, or to be in a band for that matter.

Last Night in Salt Lake City
Just to clear any rumours… Nothing happened last night apart from a bunch of soft lads stomped on a lil kids head 5 seconds into our set, so we stopped playing, had a bit of a banter with em telling em to do one, then some fatty gets on stage tries to hit me, in which he completely fails, misses and falls over, and then gets sparked out by someone In our touring party. The “crew” then responded by running around the venue, breaking a very young girls jaw and stamping on her, and injuring a few more of our young fans. Proper hard init.
Not a member in Bmth or any of our touring party got so much as a scratch, oh one did want me to know he fucked my wife though, which hit me hard as you know I’ve been happily married for a long time now :)
Fucking mongs eh? What can u do?

@trolls
you are a bunch of absolute fucktards. All Oli did was defend himself against some drunk-ass douche and he gets beaten and trolled by fags. Just because one musician got in a fight and you weren't there, doesn't mean you can just rip him for something that any self-respecting guy would have done. Ok, I'm not a fan of BMTH but even so stop ripping the guy. And for having tattoos? Jesus christ. I bet it's because you're jealous of his success compared to your shitty supermarket job. And also - as @grammar police so awesomely put - you are ignorant retard(s). And also, if you did hurt Oli, stuff an ambulance - the dead don't need medical Attention...

well done to the lads who showed they wern't taking it. the band ALWAYS answers to the audience not the other way round. Even the biggest of bands know this. BMTH is falling apart, the majority of people arleady hate them. Not to mention, they're shit.
Hate the way BMTH fans are trying to take moral high ground. i have had the misfortune of seeing these guys support bands. Their fans are a bunch of self righteous, dumb fucks/little girls. Do yourself a favour and move on to your next little phase kids.

Okay firstly I am a huge BMTH fan. Secondly I've met Oli and he isn't a huge dick like some people say, he was actually really nice when I met him and so were the rest of the band. Yes he does have an ego and will insult people in the crowd if they don't like him. But seriously if you were performing and people watching were booing and throwing bottles surely you would get pissed off and insult them. Finally what these people did was inexcusable. Whats worse than attacking Oli is how they ruined the night for people who liked BMTH. Fans were seriously hurt by these people including a girl having her jaw broken. I hate Justin Bieber but I wouldn't go to his gig just to attack him and ruin it for his fans.

i've no idea wtf is going on in either of the 2 youtube clips i've seen. neither can i decipher what the band is actually saying to the crowd. btw, a big shout out to the crappy mobile technology that allows fevered gadget enthusiasts to post this twaddle on the t’internet – where would we be without you, eh?!
anyhoo, respect is a 2-way street, y'know. but i really don't get why someone would pay their hard earned cash on a gig ticket, only to clamber onstage to try and thump the daft northern mugwump of a singer. one can only presume there ain’t much afoot in salt lake city.

It's funny how everyone who hates BMTH - so far - has the somewhat-retarded vocab of "dick", "shit" etc. with no actual things to say that are worthwhile. As I've said before I don't actually like BMTH's music but Oli is a good guy who doesn't deserve the lynching that ball-tongued metalheads give him. One day, I hope he reads this, finds you out on a stage and trashes the crap out of you. These trolls deserve it.
But good on you BMTH fans for taking the moral highground against these morons - keep the fight up!

This is why idiots shouldn't get on the internet. Everyone who doesn't like the band is saying that he got what he deserves, they aren't looking at the actual point.. a band got assaulted whilst playing music! Do you ignoramuses condemn this or something? Also, you don't know the full story to pass judgement, not to mention the security was fucking appalling!
From what i can gather this happens;
1) Oli stops mid-set as a fight breaks out, front row and bottles are hurled around the crowd where one hits a young girl.
2) Oli tells them to "get the fuck out" where the attackers then tell Oli his band and he suck and try pulling him into the crowd.
3) Oli lifts the band's water and throws it over the guys doing it asking them "how they like it".
4) After receiving more abuse, he bad mouths them over the mouth stating "if you don't like our band, fuck off".
5) He walks toward the mic stand as an attacker jumps on stage and swings for him. Oli ducks the attack, as security rush on to stop anything else.
6) After 45 minutes, the band re-appear and finish there set.

BMTH is a pretty decent band. But why would you pay money for a ticket just to get into a fight with the band? On top of that, get your ass kicked? It just seems like someone wasn't thinking very hard! :) fuck the attackers lol.

Just a question for the haters: Why do you even bother posting stuff like "BMTH are shit!" or "Oli is a faggot!" ? Stop trolling and get a fucking life.. It doesn't matter whether or not you like them, what those guys did was completely out of order and just shows a complete lack of respect for both the fans and the band.

I was at the show with my 15 year old daughter. There were people in the crowd that were out of control, fights were breaking out even before BMTH came on. As a parent I apreciate that oli stopped the show to defend his fans. He may have provoked the idiots a little, but they were disrespecting the band and everyone there. If they come back to salt lake I would deffinatly take my daughter to see them agian.

There are so many people saying that Oli is a cock and he deserved it and was acting a cock on stage. For one, we dont actually know what he was saying and what he was reacting to. Secondly, the band has had so much shit since they came out so have reasons to put up their defenses quickly...and thirdly i have seen them when they supported Lostprophets and their energy was immense and may not be the best band in the world but they know how to play a good show! If you think you can do better then i challenge you to make ur own band, get shit on by everyone and come out the otherside!

The thing only started because Oli stopped a song because some head was getting beat up in the pit and no-one was helping. He was concerned for that kids health, thats when people gave him shit. Why shouldn't respond to it? They can leave whenever they want, but those bellends wanted to start a fight, they went there to fight, end of.

Not everyone who listens to BMTG is a "super-spoiled middle-class hypochondriac scene-whore"... That's like me saying that everyone who listens to the sparkle-bitch Gerard Way is a cock-sucking fag or if I say that everyone who listens to Gallows belongs in borstal. Yeah - not nice is it? Think about that before you negatively stereotype BMTH fans like that.
Every other douchebag troll; you can fuck off; because me + the BMTH fans just don't care about your hate.
Posted by howardax | October 6, 2011 10:15 PM | Reply to this
@Howardax. It's not a negative stereotype, but an incredibly accurate truth.
I advise you to venture onto YouTube, read the comments on the band's videos, and visit the people's channels that made said comments. I also advise you to read over the comments on this page, as well as every other BMTH post on this site.
I would then like you to apologise to me.
I should probably mention that arguing with people you don't know, especially over the internet, is epically pathetic.
I would like you to expire.

Music is a matter of opinion, and that's all there is to it. Hating and fighting someone because you don't like their music is like hating someone for wearing the wrong clothes. It's pathetic. I love BMTH - I'm not keen on their image, fan base, and some of Oli's vocals, but overall they're a great and outstanding band. It's just down to people not having respect and common courtesy, and that's what sparks behaviour like this.
Oh, and you 'keyboard-hardmen' need to learn how to spell and grow up.

Let's clear some things; firstly, just because you speak like a posh twat it doesn't mean you can shit on other peoples music because you don't like it. And also, don't cherry-pick people just to prove a point - not EVERYONE who listens to this band is a scene-whore - and saying that it's an accurate truth just proves what a stereotypical douche you are. And "expire"? Oh how hard! bring it on - I can argue whenever I wish.

@The Messiah @Thrasher HAHAHAHAH! You two are the biggest cunt's i have ever seen. Two little dingle berries is what you are. FACT, Oli has a great show at Wembley, without any disturbances from numpties like you lot. There is nothing more pathetic than commenting on a band's news to say "Hope he ends up in a body bag" or "big shit storm coming for Sykes". Really, i mean, really? Have you nothing better to do with your time? I hope Oli Sykes pisses on both you two, big guys. And i dont even like BMTH.

As much as i dont have an issue with BMTH the fact remains that no band ( no matter how band) should not be attacked by mindless thugs . Also how pointless is it that they pay to go to a concert , with the sole reason of trying to kick off . At teh end of the day they have possible payed in excess of $100 to go and ruin people evenings

Apparently Oli Sykes only started a fight with these idiots because he noticed them acting like fools in the pit and stomping on smaller dudes when they fall over.

And these fucking tosspieces all looked proper hard when they tried to take a swing at him and missed and dropped.

The people who ran on stage and tried to assolt the band are absolutely pathetic illiterate idiots. They must feel right nob heads.
If you hate BMTH which I know a lot of people do, why do you go to a concert of theirs? also, why do they slag Oli off? they don't even know him, there all just jel at the fact they are fast growing band.
Also, not all the fans aren't "scene fags." Some of them are right annoying little rats but you just have to put up with them. Its the same for any band, look at BVB fans, they piss me off but some off them are decent.

oli's may have kind of provoked it yes, but that's all part of what bmth's stage presence is all about. it just gets the crowd going, of course he didn't expect genuine brawl to come from it! fair enough people may have been at that gig who weren't bmth fans, but they should have either left after watching the support that they did enjoy or at least stand away from the front (where they obviously were if they managed to get on stage) to give people who really want to be there to have a good time a chance to see a band they like.

Oh God. The comments on this page XD
It's brilliant to see that people are still wetting their little knickers and going "LOL FAGOT LOL GAYGAYGAY!!!!11!one!"over how much they hate this band, despite the fact that they've proved themselves to be objectively good musicians. I enjoyed their last two records tremendously, as did many magazines and publications. I've never *minded* the band themselves, either. But that's beside the point.
The fact is, if you're a band, you're there to perform and give the crowd a good time. I wouldn't wish this crowd's behaviour on Justin Bieber, and I can't stand Beiber. That whole evening ruined, all because of those massive cunts-the same sorts of twats who apparently can't tell the difference between 'there' and 'their'.

That Oli is just such a cunt. I don't give a fuck whether you think he's got a good personality, he's a selfish bastard who just loves himself. I find the band and their music just annoying with no structure, That is my opinion but I wont just go saying that they are crap even if I do think so because I can simply ignore it. But Oli is the one I can't ignore. He stole a Drop Dead product idea off my friend without giving him credit, he slapped my mate across the face at the machine head convert I went to (which I would have attacked Oli for if I was at the front of the crowd like my mate was), he used to constantly show off his tattoos like a gay pornstar in Kerrang for weeks just for attention when he already had more than enough, he and the rest of the band keep using backing tracks (my friend knows because she was backstage), He can't scream for shit and getting the throat cancer just proved he wasn't doing it right otherwise he would have been fine and one really annoying thing about him is the way he roams the stage as if he thinkg everyone loves him when half the time over half the crowd fucking hates him. I know because I've had to sit through the twice. Me and all of my friends agree with that. I used to have a mate who was completely obsessed with him and even he fucking hates him now. Maybe I make myself look like a hateful cunt but this is my honest opinion about him and I think he needs to just fuck off. I'm not trying to convert fans but BMTH/ Oli is not amazing and they aren't hated just because they're big or not "origional" metal, they bring it on themselves. If I happened to be a member of that band then even if I liked the music, no matter how much money I make from it I would just quit and join a different band
