- (finebros) so what did you think of what you just heard? - i would listen to it just to keep my mind open to what's happening now. - the first two i liked 'causethey were very, very hardcore rock. - well, i liked the song "go through hell to get to you". - it was okay. not my type of music. - terrible. absolutely terrible. - it's too harsh, it's too angry. - it's been done before. there's nothing original about it.
- i couldn't understandthe music or the words. it's not like music from my generation. - (finebros) and what do you think about the music videos? - i thought they were absolutely ridiculous. - they're even worse. (laughing)especially the last one. the last one was so gory. - i know you shouldn't say thisabout heavy metal or whatever, but they were pretty and i liked the one that was filmed in the snow especially,and using the flares and all that.
- i think a lot of the musicians,the young musicians today, feel they have to shock you. you didn't always have to do that to make some good music. - (finebros) do you have any idea who this band is? - nope! - no idea. - no, none whatsoever. who are they? - (finebros) this band is calledbring me the horizon. - i bet my daughter-- i can't waitto ask her if she's heard of them.
- (finebros) the music was initially described as metal, but specifically deathcore, sometimes metalcore. - metalcore. i've never heard of it, but okay. - (finebros) do you consider this to be music? - yeah. - of course. - it's all music whether i like it or not. it might not be my musicalways, but it's music.
- nope. - no. to me, it's just a lotof noise and commotion. - there's just no tune to it.it's just screaming. that's not music. i mean, maybe kids like that today, but, you know, i don't like that. - (finebros) the band has been quoted as saying they look to evolve and change their sound over their careers. can you talk about the differences between each song we showed you
or does it not seem that different to you? - no, there is no difference. - i didn't notice much change. it all sounded terrible. - there was a little change there. - the zombie video seemed a little bit softer. - it shows that they can be crazy and wild, and yet they have a softer side to them. - (finebros) the band, in their early days,
had some rumors circulating about them inciting fights at their concertsor even peeing on fans... (laughing) - been done. nothing new there, sex pistol people. - (finebros) ...to getting so drunk at shows, they would vomit onstage and more.- oh god. - neat. - oh jesus! oh, stop. - (finebros) what do you think when you hear that?
- terrible! obnoxious. - i think it's absolutely horrible! - i think it's really unnecessary. i mean, you're up there to perform your music. - it makes no sense at all. there's other things they could do. good things, positive things. stupid things like that? uh-uh. - it's shock value.the kids like that. it's so different than when they used to break their guitars.
- i think it's all part of entertainment. didn't ozzy bite the heads of birds? - call up ozzy osbourne and check with him for gnarly, you know, but this is just like...i think it's just kind of silly. - (finebros) so some more info for you. bring me the horizon has been around for over a decade now. - wow! they must've startedwhen they were babies. - (finebros) it even said thatthey aren't really doing metalcore as they don't listen to that type of music anymore.
what do you think the band'slong-time fans might think about that? - i don't know how they think. - well, they're gonna get older tooand maybe they'll get some sense. - long-time fans probably changetheir values as well. as we grow older, we get wiser.at least we should. - dylan changed from being acoustic to electric. if they're really fans, they'll see change. - some of them will desert the groupbecause they want that and they don't want to grow along with their idols, so to speak.
it all is about expressingthemselves as artists, so if that's where they want to go,to me, the fans should support them. - (finebros) okay, so when we cover bands we often like to ask this: if bring me the horizon came on tour, would you want to see their concert?- oh god, no. never, never, never. - i would never go see 'em. - i wouldn't give 'em two cents. - i don't think so. i don't know if my ears could take it.
my ears are already ruined by rock 'n' roll. - i have no interest in hearing them,or seeing them, or witnessing anything that they do! - yeah, i would go see them. i don't know if i'd pay.maybe if you paid. - thanks for watchingthis episode of elders react. - if you like what you saw,hit the subscribe button. - thanks for watching and...wait, i can't hear anything anymore.
