Oli Sykes is happy that Liam Gallagher didn’t criticize Bring Me The Horizon’s cover of Oasis’ ‘Wonderwall.’
“It’s a good song, it’s actually one of my favourites,” the frontman recently shared with NME about ‘Wonderwall.’ “Top five.”
Sykes continued, “We always usually cover stuff that no one has ever heard of, so we were like ‘Now let’s try to reimagine something that everyone knows. Make it easy for ourselves.'”
“It came out alright I think! It was crazy that Liam didn’t slag it off to the high heavens…” the singer then explained.
Drummer Mat Nicholls also said during the same interview that they grew up listening to Oasis and expected Liam to criticize them. Instead, Liam said nice things, and they were happy with how it went.
Bring Me The Horizon released their ‘Wonderwall’ cover on January 29 for Spotify Singles. They swapped Noel Gallagher’s acoustic guitar for a heavy electric riff. When someone shared the track on X, Liam commented, “I f*cking LOVE it.”
Later, Liam responded to someone who said he’d be ‘so pissed off’ about the cover. He wrote, “I’m not it’s absolutely incredible made my day I’m of out on my skateboard f*ck y’all.”
Bring Me The Horizon also recreated the ‘Wonderwall’ video, with bassist Matt Kean reading a newspaper on the left. The cover was part of Spotify’s series, with artists like IDLES and Wet Leg.
All profits will go to the Teenage Cancer Trust. The band will headline Reading & Leeds 2025 with Chappell Roan, Travis Scott, and Hozier. They’ve played at the festival before, but their only headline set was in 2022, when they played before Arctic Monkeys.
