“I wish we’d had bidding wars – a mad time dining out with everyone falling in love with us. But no; we had one dude with a small label who believed in us”: Gavin Rossdale on the sacred and absurd experience of making Bush’s Sixteen Stone

Gavin Rossdale.

In the mid ‘90s, grunge wasn’t the hot ticket in the UK that it was in the US. That changed when London native Gavin Rossdale wrote a score of songs that would become Bush’s 1994 debut album Sixteen Stone.

With Nigel Pulsford aiding Rossdale on guitar, songs like Glycerine, Machinehead, Comedown, Little Things and Everything Zen put Bush on the map.
