Bad Religion & Bring Me The Horizon Members Bicker Over "Display Of Arrogance"

Following an appearance on Spanish festival Resurrection Fest, Bad Religion guitarist Brian Baker has called out British heavy act Bring Me The Horizon on their "display of arrogance" backstage at the festival.

Baker posted an image of a sign backstage, which states, "These people are not to be stopped ever. They may not have a pass. They can escort who they want where they want with with or without a pass". Baker said the sign would make him "stop these people every time I see them today and tell them how much their band sucks".

The shade didn't go unnoticed, with BMTH's singer Oli Sykes and drummer Matt Nicholls taking to Baker's Instagram post to retaliate.

"You are playing under us you sorry old wrinkly bastard. P.s saw you a couple of times & you said nada. Willy Woofter … we are not your enemy, winter is your enemy," writes Sykes.

Nicholls adds, "Hahah I can't imagine being as old as you are and still acting like a 14 year old girl. Saw you at least 10 times and you didn't bat an eye lid. You got bigger things to worry about nowadays anyway, like ya pension, or cold weather. Dickhead."

The sparring continued when Baker replied, "It seems you've missed the point entirely. The issue here is entitlement. My post was a comment on your collective delusion that working local crew at a thirty band festival should be required to memorize your faces to spare you the indignity of breaking stride on the way to your backstage oasis or even worse, the humiliation of carrying credentials.

"Your literal display of arrogance (and the hilariously unrecognized irony within it) was what I was sharing with my followers. I honestly don't know if your music is bad or good - it's not for old people! I meant that you suck as humans. Sorry for the confusion."
