Bring Me The Horizon fended off a somewhat hostile audience in their Reddit AMA which took place yesterday, September 16th. Though there were certainly some devoted fans involved, there were also quite a few trolls, which is perhaps why the band included a lot of snark with their answers. One question in particular (see below) saw the group somewhat jokingly bash various religions, a not so surprising stance for the outfit.
Another saw them apparently fire a shot at former guitarist Jona Weinhofen (of I Killed The Prom Queen,) who exited the band back in 2013:
Weinhofen himself seemed to be a bit blindsided by the comment, tweeting:

The comments likely have even more of a sting for Weinhofen, considering he recently praised the groups latest album, “That’s The Spirit“:
A lot of people have asked my opinion on the new @bmthofficial record. I think they are fantastic songwriters & what I have heard rules — Jona Weinhofen (@jonaweinhofen) September 11, 2015
Given the groups answers throughout the AMA, one would think their replies fall on the humorous side. But that didn’t stop them from ruffling the feathers of some fans, with more than a few proclaiming it the ‘worst AMA ever.’
