You&#8217;ve also got to ask yourself how much do you want to do to earn that extra [popularity]. Do you really want to go on TikTok and do all the dances? Do you want to be killing yourself in the studio every day when you don&#8217;t even want to write music just out of that fear?&#8221;<\/p>\n<p><strong>Sykes<\/strong> further called the writing process of <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/metalinjection.net\/tag\/bring-me-the-horizon\">Bring Me The Horizon<\/a><\/strong>&#8216;s latest record <em>POST HUMAN: NeX GEn<\/em> &#8220;miserable,&#8221; and even considered just going back to being a regular dude without the pressure of being in a band.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;What I realised after <strong>Jordan<\/strong> left was that the atmosphere got better. I asked myself how I could have got to the point of fucking hating the record when I love making music, creating and art. I do it for fun. If I&#8217;m not making music, I&#8217;ll write a story, I&#8217;ll draw, I&#8217;ll make a t-shirt for [fashion line] Drop Dead or whatever. I love that.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;How did it get so bad that I said I want it over with? I realised after that without <strong>Jordan<\/strong> it was going way slower.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p><strong>Sykes<\/strong> continued: &#8220;I&#8217;m not going to sit here and go, &#8216;Oh, it was just creative differences and we wish him the best and we&#8217;re all on good terms, and blah, blah, blah&#8217;. It&#8217;s never like that. Just like all breakups \u2013 they never end. Even the most amicable ones. There&#8217;s a split. It&#8217;s also very boring. There&#8217;s no headline there.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;He served our band really well, and the band wouldn&#8217;t be where we are without him. I don&#8217;t think I&#8217;d be able to sing. He was an agent in that and helped me do that. I&#8217;ve learned so much from him. I think he&#8217;s learned a lot from me. I&#8217;m sure one day we&#8217;ll see each other again and we&#8217;ll talk. Nothing&#8217;s happened where it couldn&#8217;t be sorted out over a drink. That&#8217;s that.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;We just got to a point where we weren&#8217;t happy as a unit anymore.&#8221;\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div>\n<div class=\"zox-post-body left zoxrel zox100\">\n<h5>Want More Metal?
