Comments: The camera follows Rossdale and he enters different rooms and encounters an intriguing array of women. “I wanted all these different characters in there. We’ve got the heathen nurse, the dancer, the weird wolf-girl and other strange characters. We’re limited because we don’t have big budgets anymore, so I would have loads more if I had a bigger budget. But we saw this house, and the house is an incredible space.”
According to Rossdale, they thought the continuous shot idea would make for a quick shoot, but it ended up being a 12-hour shoot, with much of that time spent rehearsing.

Comments: “Having seen the footage of innocent refugees forced to flee their homes and lives, culminating in the picture of the young boy, Aylan Kurdi, lying dead on the shore – the horror of that photograph, as a father, as a human being – was too powerful to avoid.
It was the catalyst to write this song and to show empathy with the plight of the refugees.

Comments: It was Stefani’s first full length video, though the band had worked with him on a number of occasions previously. Rossdale explained the clip’s concept to Spinner: “The ‘Baby Come Home’ video is the story of two people, disconnected and lost in the city; unable to find the right words to stay together,” he said. “They find comfort in their passions. It stars Katherine Cowgill from the Los Angeles Ballet and was filmed in downtown Los Angeles – the original ‘city of dreams.'”

Comments: “He (ulf) came up with a treatment that was exactly what I was looking for…..It was as if I wrote a list and ticked off boxes. He wanted to do something that was edgy and vibrant and alive, and that’s exactly what I wanted. Too many videos today are just too dark and moody. They all look like they were shot in a garage. We wanted to be unmoody and undark.” – Gavin
“I just wanted to use the visuals to emphasize the song…I haven’t seen that many other bands use the same approach, so I thought it was interesting.” – Gavin

Comments: Dj’s Healy & Amos remixed Bush’s Comedown.
“The concept of the video is paranoia. It’s about coming down after a night on it and finding yourself alone in a minging hotel. It touches on that feeling of isolation and despair.”- Amos
“I play the really paranoid person in the background.”- Jeremy
“A bit like being the bass player in a band, really.”- Gavin (on the video concept)
“Bleachin’ are old friends, so I ended up doing a video with them and way more than I expected! It’s all oil and apathy. it’s me being laid-back – probably because I wasn’t the performer.” – Gavin

Comments: The female actor is Michele Hicks, , who appeared in the films Mulholland Drive and Twin Falls Idaho. DP: Sal Totino, Editor: Jamie Manalio.
If you analyze the video, you see that when they touch there is color. As their hands touch, his world is tinted with her color. And when he smears paint on the walls, the colors are similar to the colors she wears, displaying a sense of longing. “Whatever you say is alright…” but she can’t speak, adding some depth to the lyrics, and as she leaves she is signing to him that she’s sorry. On the street you see that the bassist for Bush is playing on a corner, which is peculiar because a bass isn’t really a solo instrument. The effects of color and their integration with the lyrics gives a great deal of meaning.
“The postponing of the UK tour was because we got screwed by a video director and we had to have a video for ‘Letting the Cables Sleep’. We had absolutely no time, so we had to decide whether we shot a video in New York with Joel Schumacher, who was available on specific days only, or play the original UK shows. The chance of working with someone of the calibre made our minds up for us. So we said, ‘Let’s roll it over, make our apologies, and hope no one gets too upset about it.” – Robin

Comments: “Hmmm, it’s quite a moody one, I suppose….”- Gavin
“Basically it was the last video to be made off that album. They had already released all the big singles and the album had already had quite a few videos made, BMW approached the band because they wanted bonedriven to be used in an ad. Bush agreed, and on top of this they were offered a BMW Z3 each if they used a BMW in a video for bonedriven… They weren’t intending to make a video but decided to do one in response to that offer…
Anyway there was a really big budget and mark lebon was going to direct it. They had big ideas for some crazy video, but in the end it all fell through…
They decided to make a video anyway but keep it low budget as they now had no BMW backing, and as far as im concerned the video that was made was far more personal and interesting than any big budget shite…
Mark followed them on tour in the states for a month shooting lots of the live footage seen in the video on a small handheld mini dv camera…
Then did a couple of days back in London with the group of young friends and models – shooting more dv and lots of stills. Into this is mixed some home video stuff of mark’s son playing with his cars” – this statement was submitted to OSB per a reliable source, who wishes to remain anonymous.

Date Released: March 17, 1997
Special Appearances: n/a
Comments: This is Gavin’s favorite video (“video would be Personal Holloway as Winston starts it and I always wanted us to do a pure pure performance and it was after the Greedy Fly video which was massive like a movie and so the simplicity of the p.h. video appealed. also of course the bit where we get sprayed with the black oil-dirt is good.”-Gavin)
“That was our low-key antidote to the ‘Greedy Fly’ video. It’s cool because Winston’s in it.”- Gavin
“We’ve got one in the can, as they say, for ‘Personal Holloway’ which is like an antidote to that sort of slightly exaggerated film video that we did for ‘Greedy Fly’. We sort of tried doing one mad Interscope video sort of thing, big budget like a rock version answer to a rap video. It was kind of fun to do, but I felt a bit immoral doing it. So we went to Dublin to do a really skinny, having said Skinny Puppy, skinny is a great word, skinny performance video which, funny enough, I always wanted to do. I’m really proud of that video and so it will come out. It’s just wicked. It’s just got a vibe and there’s really a special kind of ting about it. I was really involved in it and in fact it was my idea because I like to get filthy. This of course sounds cryptic now, but it will make sense. You’ll see me getting filthy.”- Gavin

Comments: “This was our ridiculous movie, shot in the same building where they filmed ‘Seven.’ It was just crazy. We spent almost half a million quid on it, which is a stupid, immoral amount of money that I can’t really justify. It was fun to have done an epic like that once.”- Gavin Rossdale

Date(s) Filmed: October 1996
Shoot Location: Twickenham Studios England & Florida
Date Released: October 23, 1996
Special Appearances: Winston (Gavin’s dog)
Comments: “For the making of “Swallowed,” everything had to be filmed at least twice because the video shows clip of people moving at two different speeds at once. While filming Robin playing, he was told to play at twice his normal speed, but to keep his body still and “not to look like Animal from the Muppets” as he played. Unfortunately, the latter was supposedly more difficult for him accomplish.” (as reported on Kill Your TV)
This is Dave’s favorite video (“Swallowed. I’ve always wanted to wear a suit in a video.”- Dave)
“This is a sort of London party video. It was made by another friend, Jamie Morgan. It reminds me of having your first place in London on your own.”- Gavin

Comments: If you watch closely you can see sections of Shepherd’s Bush. One of Robin’s favorite video (“Machinehead — the closest we got to song and video in perfect harmony.”- Robin)
“My friend Shawn Mortensen did this and it was based on a true story. We won an award for that one, which was really cool because it was a funky, stylish London video. And I love it.”- Gavin

“We had to do this while we were on tour in Atlanta with (director) Kevin Kerslake. It was the first time that we realized we were really busy with a successful album on our hands, so it was a total clinched rush-in-and-do-it big band thing. It was easy to do because I just stood there while the cameras whirled around me, which was nice.”- Gavin

Date(s) Filmed: 19-21 June 1995
Shoot Location: Los Angeles
Date Released: July 20, 1995
Special Appearances: n/a
Comments: The director used a special ‘fish eye’ lens to film some of the scenes. To give that distorted view as if looking through a peep hole. This is also Nigel’s favorite video (“Comedown because of the fun we had making it!”- Nigel)
It is said to be ‘inspired by the paintings of Francis Bacon’.
Jake Scott also went on to direct the No Doubt video ‘New’.
“We didn’t like the original idea for this, so I got my friend Jake Scott (a video director I’ve know for years) to come up with something different. We knocked this out really quickly. I think it’s pretty cool and different.”- Gavin Rossdale
Rumored during the shoot-“In LA, supposedly the LAPD showed up looking for 2 bankrobbers. The robbers had escaped and ran into the studio. They were supposedly found in the wardrobe department.”

Comments: “We did this around the biggest house in Long Island, New York. All my shots were done against a wall in a corridor in the basement. My biggest memory of this is that we had a salsa party afterwards with some Cuban dancers — and it all just went off.”- Gavin
“I was very excited to work with Matt Mahurin again, he really helped us out so much with the first video. It wasn’t England at all – it was Long Island. The ‘castle’ was just a huge country house we rented out, one of the biggest country houses in America. All the stuff I did was in that little dank basement up against a wall singing through a tea strainer – in this huge house!!”-Gavin

(interview question) Which video did you enjoy making the most??…”Zen, Comedown, and Cold C'”-Nigel Pulsford
“Matt Mahurin is so much better than anyone else. He’s a painter, he likes the same painters that I do. So we had a whole history of stuff that we got on together about. And he really loved the record most importantly.”- Gavin Rossdale
