Bush’s Gavin Rossdale Calls In To Promote This Summer’s Tour

Author Meltdown
You can say a lot of great things about Gavin Rossdale. He still sounds just as good now as he did in the 90's and he can still move around and work the crowd just as well. On a side note Gavin made me break my rule of no drinking at shows when he offered me and Meltdown a beer when we went back to conduct an interview. How could we say no!?

Gavin Rossdale was nice enough to call in today to promote the upcoming Loaded: Greatest Hits Tour he’s embarking on with his band, Bush, along with Jerry Cantrell from Alice In Chains, and Candlebox. That show touches down here in Michigan at the Michigan Lottery Amphitheater on August 16th. Of course, keep it locked on the RIFF for your chance to win your way in.

You can check out the interview below, or on my Talkin’ Rock with Meltdown podcast which you can find here.

I had to start out by sending condolences to his dog, Chewy. I actually met that little guy a couple of times backstage. He was a cute little dog that always had his backstage pass on. Gavin spoke to that and the funny reason why he wore it. He said that dog had seen more Bush concerts than his own children.

Gavin told me he didn’t tour with either one of these bands back in the day, although he has played with them recently. He said that Jerry is a bit of a gambler so that may be a win/loss for him. That lead us into talking about what they do to fill the time on tour.

Gavin was on the TODAY show Wednesday, and he talked about that with me. During that appearance, he spoke highly of his kids and their love of American football. Is he watching the playoffs? He answered that as well as his relationship with soccer legend, David Beckham, being that he’s a huge soccer fan.

Sounds like this is going to be another not-miss tour this summer. A big thank you to Gavin for the time, it’s always a pleasure to speak with him.
