In a new interview with Tom Power, host of “Q” on Canada’s CBC Radio One, BUSH frontman Gavin Rossdale was asked to name the biggest difference he has noticed between the environment that young musicians are coming into today versus the environment that he found himself in back when BUSH was first starting out. He responded (as transcribed by BLABBERMOUTH.NET): “Well, quite obviously, when I began, if you made something good, people might buy it. Now, if you make something good, people might stream it. And I have two sons that are poised to make music their lives, and I couldn’t be more concerned for them.”I’ve been a musician my whole life and I’m at a loss to explain to someone how to do it, how to build from the ground up, how to get a career in that,” he continued. “It’s just terrifying because how do musicians, how do young bands get paid? I can’t work it out. I don’t know. Maybe you get one song with loads of streams and we know that Spotify barely pays, and whatever they pay, the record companies make sure they siphon off most of it before it goes to the artist. So it’s the same deal — artists getting screwed, record companies making a fortune and getting all the money. So same shitty business, but if you love it, what are you gonna do? You just do the best you can. And you can obviously make money touring, but it takes a while to build up a catalog, so if you wanna come and see you, that’s a crap shoot. So the difference is I think it’s much, much harder now, and it was nearly impossible then. So, I don’t know what the odds are, but they don’t feel good for young musicians, which breaks my heart for them because we always need music. We always need people’s opinions. A.I. can take care of many things, but you talk about people relating to other people, it’s by writing that brutally painful, honest lyric that other people can relate and get strength from. That exchange will never go away because people will continue to be upset and look for other people that understand.”As the lead vocalist, guitarist, songwriter and founder of rock band BUSH, Rossdale has sold over 24 million records in the U.S. and Canada alone, and won the prestigious Ivor Novello Award for International Achievement in Songwriting following a string of 26 consecutive Top 40 hit singles on the Modern, Mainstream, and Active Rock charts. Seven of these songs shot to No. 1: “Comedown”, “Glycerine”, “Machinehead”, “Swallowed”, “The Chemicals Between Us”, “The Sound Of Winter” and 2022’s “More Than Machines”. Rossdale also reached the top of the charts with his 2008 standout solo hit “Love Remains The Same”. He’s starred in acclaimed films such as “Constantine” and “The Bling Ring”, along with guest spots on several television drama staples including “Criminal Minds” and “Burn Notice”. Most recently, BUSH released “Loaded: The Greatest Hits 1994-2023”, their first-ever career-spanning hits collection, providing an expansive view of their incredible legacy with 21 tracks covering nearly 30 years — from their breakthrough hit “Everything Zen” to their latest single, “Nowhere To Go But Everywhere”. The band recently completed a massive headline summer tour of North America in support of “Loaded”, playing to some of their largest crowds in recent memory. More new music and worldwide touring awaits for what is sure to be an equally busy 2025.Last month, Vizio announced the exclusive premiere of the celebrity culinary talk series “Dinner With Gavin Rossdale” (formerly “Rockstar Kitchen Chronicles”) on WatchFree+, launching February 13. Rossdale opens his home and his heart to guests including tennis legend Serena Williams, multi-hyphenate entertainer Common, actress Selma Blair, author and actress Brooke Shields, iconic singer Sir Tom Jones, and actor and comedian Jack McBrayer. While Gavin prepares world-class gastronomic delights for their enjoyment, he engages with his guests in deeply personal conversations about their lives, careers, and everything in between.[embedded content]
