Interviews
Bush is back with its first new album in ten years, Sea Of Memories, so we asked longtime drummer Robin Goodridge to give us a peek at the kit he plans to use on the band’s upcoming tour. With only a couple occasional substitutions, Goodrich used the same setup — DW drums and hardware, Zildjian cymbals, Remo heads, and Vic Firth sticks — to record the band’s new album.

Who’s More Sheboygan? Bush & Smashing Pumpkins tickets in the Big A$$ Stash @ 8:30am.
Gavin Rossdale Discusses Bush’s Critics, Nirvana Comparisons

After a brief stint as a solo artist, Gavin Rossdale is back with Bush, the 90s’ radio juggernaut responsible for alt-rock anthems like “Everything Zen,” “Comedown” and “Glycerine.” Whether you love them or hate them, you really should read this interview — Rossdale, who has some even-handed words for his band’s critics, is one of the most articulate and likable dudes in rock.
How does it feel to be back making music as Bush again?
It feels like I’m in the boxing ring with my hands untied. It feels like I’m like I’m playing the football match of my life with two feet, rather than one foot. It feels like the cake has its frosting on it.
When were the songs on your new album, The Sea Of Memories written?
Over the last year and a half. “Sound of Winter” I think was written probably four months ago. As soon as we got our lives back, things have been able to move as quick as I’ve been able to write quickly and play the songs with the band and get it all together. And it’s an incredible time now, whereby it’s determined by the work and not by the scheduling of a large company. So it’s been phenomenal. I couldn’t be happier. I don’t have any particular regret.

Bush returned this month with their first record in 10 years, The Sea of Memories, and a tour of North America and Europe. On Wednesday, the band play Anaheim in what could be considered a homecoming show, as Bush front man Gavin Rossdale’s wife, Gwen Stefani, is that city’s most famous native. We talked to Rossdale about the return of Bush, his evolution as a songwriter and the stranger aspects of his occasional acting career.

“When I was doing the solo records, it never felt complete,” says Gavin Rossdale. “It was always all about ‘When is the band going to get back together?’ Every interview, every time I went for a cup of coffee, the same question ricocheted around my whole life. It was just relentless, and flattering, and disheartening.”
Alternative rock veterans Bush stopped by the Rolling Stone studio recently to perform a brand new song from their forthcoming album, The Sea of Memories, along with a cover of the Beatles classic “Come Together.” After the set frontman Gavin Rossdale explained how he and the band got back together after a lengthy hiatus, and why they decided to go with an indie label for their new record.
