Gavin Rossdale Interview - Bettie Magazine | News

IGA — Tue, 18 Nov 2008 18:37:00 GMT

Bettie Magazine Online has posted their in depth Q&A Interview with Gavin Rossdale! Check it out to get answers to a range of questions from Gavin's status as a sex symbol to his love of Bukowski's writing!

"You’ve said “Love Remains the Same” has a certain Bukowski-ness to it. How so?

I don’t think it’s remotely as good as that, but the Bukowski side of it is commiseration in drink. But, it’s far more lyrical and not nailed to the concrete sidewalk than Bukowski. I’ve got other stuff that I think is more in line with him. I love the way he writes."

35,000 feet again.

---------------------------------------

Flying from Toronto to la.

It’s been a great few weeks since I last wrote.

First off,the shows in the mid west were brilliant.

the shows wherever we've played have been something else.

Since it’s the start of the record and playing shows,itseems best to have no expectations and allow each night to be something new.

I can see how the record is firing into people’slives.making assassin music.

I’ll stay the dark horse.

So,each show takes me further out there.

And the audiences….thankyou…you fire me up.

I’ve always thought the shows are looped and energy comesaround,and you treated us like friends you just pick back up with,no matter howlong since you’ve seen them.

And I know there’s new people there too-and so we start anew dialogue and that’s music.

I still consider this really early on this record,

So many still unaware but the word is out and the showsreflected that.

We had a blast in san diego-did some acoustic shows (3 actually)-totally stripped down andintimate.

And then had a brilliant day watching the horses and playinga show at the racetrack at del mar,and the crowd was immense.and wherever youcould see,there were people.rammed is another word.you gotta love that.

And all on a warm summer night.one of those perfect momentsyou have to hold with everything you got.

Then onto vegas-the playground of excess.i love vegas.it isbuilt for pleasure.

We played the joint-which brought back so many bushmemories(like most shows)but I remember the first time we played there,and whowas with us and what we did,yeah,memories……….anyhow the show was excellent.

Then we did an acoustic set at wasted space,the new barinside the hard rock..which was hilarious.i totally enjoyed myself and felt like lenny bruce as the crowd was there to party(vegas)and

We only had a couple of acoustic guitars…so we played awhile and it was surreal and I loved the chaos.

Then on into the good night …,we went out till someonementioned it was light outside and we should be getting flights home.

And these last few days been up here in Toronto-doing promofor the record and “mentoring”on Canadian idol

And performing on there.

It’s obviously a world and a half away from what I know ordo,but quite a way to play to Canada on one night.

I enjoyed it,the contestants really cared about the musicand their singing.as they should,but it was good to see.

I watched them the night after we had discussed their songsand found myself rooting for them all.

I look forward to coming back to Canada to play some showslater in the year.we’ve had some massive shows there.

Some weird airplane food has arrived and I need to have itremoved.so,I have to go get some help.

It’s staring at me and I don’t like it.

WELL,IT'S GOOD TO BE BACK ON THE ROAD.THIS SHOW TONIGHT AT THE PABST IN MILWAUKEE IS A COOL WAY TO START.EVERYONE HAS BEEN SO FRIENDLY AND EASY ALREADY.VERY SUMMERTIME.

I WALKED AROUND THE DOWNTOWN -THE THIRD WARD,IT'S ALL CHANGING,AND SO MANY HAIR SALONS.

I THINK HAIR IS IMPORTANT HERE.I WALKED INTO ONE SALON TO GET SOME INSTANT DIRT FOR MYSELF AND THE GUY WORKING THERE,JUST GAVE ME A TUB OF LAVENDER OIL THING/STUFF.

HE SAID-HERE YOU GO OUT OF TOWNER,ENJOY.

I INVITED HIM TO THE SHOW BUT HE WAS BUSY AND IT WAS AWKWARD,BUT GENEROUS.

THEN I FOUND THE MARKET AND ATE A CATFISH SANDWICH-IT WAS A GOOD ONE.

THERE'S A WICKED 2ND AHND BOOKSTORE WITH OCEANS OF BOOKS AND SOME RECORDS.I MISS RECORDS-SO SUBSTANTIAL AND LARGE.EASIER TO MAKE A STATEMENT.

TOMORROW MINNEAPOLIS,WHERE MY FRIEND,TODD TRAINER LIVES,SO WE CAN CATCH UP.

I AM ABOUT TO DO THE SHOW,SO I BETTER RUN.WANTED TO SAY HELLO AND MAKE SURE

YOU'RE LISTENING.

ARE YOU COMING TO THE SHOWS SOON.IT'D BE GOOD TO SEE YOU.

NICE ONE

leaving europe-take 1 | Diary

GMR — Sat, 14 Jun 2008 20:00:00 GMT

we seem to have crammed so much into a short time.

i'm in vienna after the nova rock show,and tomorrow to amsterdam for some

press.

but tonight was the last of the first bunch of shows.

from new york to tonight in austria.

i've spoken to so many people about this record,and i've seen so many people at the concerts.

i'd like to thank all of you that came out-we had massive festival shows,a bunch of acoustic sessions and of course the

shows in berlin and my blood town- london.

the crowds were so up for it and i think it was intense.the fact is that we had magic people at all the shows who

inspired us on to play out of our minds.

and we wanted to play good for you.so

thx.---

it felt very communicative-i got lost in everyone as i played.

and as the light fell tonight and the stage lit up like everyone's birthday,it made me feel

that this first outing of this line up was a good omen,

and we were in the right place at the right time.

GMR — Mon, 09 Jun 2008 22:08:00 GMT

hey there

where am i-is this a hotel room-again?did i ask for this.yes.i did.it all serves me right the good and the bad.what a few days since i wrote.it feels like a while since i left home.

went to the incandescent nyc-straight into the night for drinks and friend(plus his friends).

that's the style.4 blocks from my hotel.stealing off into the warm glow of the city.not an la experience by any means.

anyhow,the next day it all began with the promo.the reaction to the record has been pretty huge.

of course there has been shards of hate along with the love but what can you expect?putting out a record is placing your head on the road and hoping the traffic will accomodate.

the radio sessions were smooth sailing and i managed to warm the throat up fine despite singing at my 5am(la time)-not an easy task.

letterman was a little more taxing than expected,some technical difficulties,to say the least,but they were overcome and a way was found.

always to good to see dave and the band especially.feels like i've done that show a few times now.

then spent the week between radio stations and press,

dodging personal questions and bringing it back to the music or the world or the moon or nyc.

and before i knew it we were on a plane to germany to do the same,in,erm,germany.

we began in frankfurt onto cologne then hamburg to now,berlin.

i am in my room.we play tomorrow night andi get to talk about myself or the people i know all day.wow.

and then i.........

we travelled by train today and that was pretty funny,such an easy way to go.

the sleeping is weird,or lack of sleeping i should say.the only time i get tired is when i'm meant to get up.

oh yeah i failed to find sleep on the night flight to germany and had to go straight to work and sing so i kind of missed wednesday as a night's sleep.

that was weird and makes for a longer week that's for sure.

my mind is on overdrive.is yours?

i see there are some good records out,maybe time to get more.

the grinderman record is providing much solace on the long journeys.

we have been putting in a lot of road miles-our carbon foot stinks.sorry.

rock am ring and rock am park were a lot of fun to play.you gotta love those big stages.

140,000 people in 2 days.

i thought the band did great for a first show-to 80,000 people.

in at the deep end.

just how it should be.

i am looking forward to the show tomorrow at the lido.german audiences are pretty fiery and this is a late show-,in fact in 24 hrs i will be onstage.

that's a good thought.

i've been waiting patiently for that feeling.

"Wanderlust" Available Everywhere Now! | News

IGA — Tue, 03 Jun 2008 18:30:00 GMT

Today the long anticipated solo album from Gavin Rossdale, "Wanderlust", is available everywhere! The effort, which features Bob Rock on production duties, encompasses a wide range of modern rock from the driving and uplifting album opener "Some Days" to the ethereal and romantic first single "Love Remains The Same."

“The wanderlust I’m talking about isn’t that desire to travel and see the world,” Rossdale explains. “It’s my overwhelming desire to get out and play music for people. I feel like a racehorse that’s been stuck in the stables a bit too long. The doors are locked and no one can find the key.”

The doors are now open. This release explores a more mature Gavin, with a sense of freedom, emotion, and musical depth never heard from the grunge-era superstar. Buy your copy today and experience Gavin's "Wanderlust" for yourself.

come on shine your sun | Diary

GMR — Sat, 24 May 2008 14:22:00 GMT

hello and big up to you.

my last weekend in la before the travels.as some of you may know,it's a big day on monday so here's hoping the weather holds so that we can have some serious fun outside.

i just got back from breakfast and a visit to culver city for some errands.

a ton of photographers today for some reason.such an unsubtle way to travel.

the police came to help out-sirens and everything-but there's nothing to be done-

it's useless madness.

i noticed across town some posters for the record.which is ironic.i have always loved posters and every single record i have ever done,i have asked for them-and never got them.

i love seeing who has records out etc.as you sit at traffic lights and whatever,and so now in this current climate,i didn't even bother asking-and there they are.

is there a lesson in that?

i see weezer has a new record too.nice.

i went to amoeba records the other day and stocked up good and proper.long overdue.

i'm listening to nick cave and the bad seeds as i write this.

top form.

there's a song called moonland on this new record,with the excellent lyric-

"i'm not your favourite lover"

wicked.that man's on fire.

also finally got portishead-dark and darker.

also....calla,eno/cale-wrong way up,justice,goldfrapp,the klf(gotta have a copy here),bonnie prince billy,cat power,frank black(i lost my other cult of ray)grinderman,ashes divide(c'mon billy)jack johnson so i can catch up,cornelius,autechre as it is out of print ,ellen allien,death cab,and that's about it.

i love checking the artwork.

listening to the record as it was intended and reading along.

that's the way i like to do it.

it's how we want you to do it-

will you try?

i see that tim noble and sue webster did the neon sign for the cover of the bad seeds.

i like those guys a lot,they used to do those crazy piles of rubbish that when illuminated,created these sharp focus sculptures of them both against the wall.

brilliant.

check them out.

i have a ton to listen to.

better wake the neighbours.

or help them,i wonder what people around here listen to.....

anyhow,man utd have won everything-

the lakers are winning(i know very little about basketball)

and the sun is trying to come out.

come on.

just a little more.

and hang around some time

bright and bleary eyed | Diary

GMR — Tue, 20 May 2008 14:22:00 GMT

so,i've been up late.the studio is buzzing.just how we like it at

kingston sound

always stuff to do.

last night

i got the mixes for the i-tunes tracks we did at the palms studio in vegas.

maybe a couple of changes but

i think the 6 songs came out well,an acoustic ep with some tripped out guitar.

and some atmospherics,a pretty chilled out selection.

and now here i am,doing super early radio interviews.everyone is so awake.

and i'm playing catch up.

i'm feeling good but all this talking about myself is weird.

and the fact that this is a solo record and not a bush record is dawning on me.

why have i been ignoring that?

i have really just been going with the flow,and now in the midst of these interviews,

being asked if it is weird to be alone,i am realising it is.

but here i am-i need coffee,heavy eyes,light heart-and enjoying the record countdown.

in the next few weeks,there will be an onslaught of STUFF from me.

i like that.

today is quite full of interviews and i think the last one of the morning shows.then the international ones start,then i go to m management offices to meet some journalists in person,and do some on camera tallking.

ever see yourself on camera and you freak yourself out and want yourself to shut up half the time.

yep.

sound familiar?

give great day

GMR — Fri, 16 May 2008 05:41:00 GMT

good evening-

hope you're good.

before i drone on about my week for you,i have to mention the cyclone in burma and the earthquake in china.

terrible terrible times,millions of displaced people,thousands of lives lost-

make sure you turn to what you have tonight and take it all in.

http://www.guardian.co.uk/world/2008/may/15/chinaearthquake.naturaldisasters

http://www.timesonline.co.uk/tol/news/world/asia/article3930572.ece

now it seems irrelevant to write about myself but i figure these notes to be snapshots into my time and some thoughts....

so here goes and please forgive my trite details having presented the above links.

i guess i'm just reaching out to you to let you know what we've been doing.

monday we played a small acoustic show for 98.7

which was liberating and strangely nerve wracking.

but the audience was intimate and i think it turned out ok.

hope you hear it sometime.

it was good to be singing and playing for an audience.

we did a yahoo session yesterday,and a tv show today(unnamed)as it's not out yet.

which was a total pleasure.

piece by piece we build a bridge to you.

and tomorrow aol.another stripped down session.

i'm working on some music now,a bush song in particular i haven't done in a while.

it's liberating and makes me think of the boys in the band.

and all the good times.

you'll get to hear the fruits of these labours very soon.

the record is edging closer daily.

i had planned to write a longer note to you,however by starting the note with the reports from burma and china,it doesn't feel right.

so i'd better go and allow this moment to be about what it should.

take care -and if you can't take care -take cover

GMR — Wed, 23 Apr 2008 23:07:00 GMT

hey everyone.

we're back in the studio working on some cool different versions of the record,

and some b-sides etc.

the session in las vegas went real well and we're putting the finishing touches to it now.

i wonder when i-tunes will release them(6 songs)

it'd be cool to make a whole record there,even if it is close to some serious distractions.

i think it could work great though.i'm really enjoying vegas right now.

it is a different planet.

the studio at the house is pure magic.and it sounds great.big 70's subwoofer and cool speakers make for happy musicians.

me and chris are taking different turns between guitars and singing.

it's a creative time.

and it's cool to hang in,i should post a picture.you gotta see it.

it was a busy weekend.4 birthdays and the kanye west/nerd show on monday and trying to finish a ton of details in the studio.

also some press-

it's a weird one.you meet someone for 40 minutes and try to be yourself and answer as best you can.music is easy,but then the personal stuff-and really you gotta watch what you say as it can be soooo taken out of context and i think i am rusty and so the mistakes can happen and then you wonder

if you're gonna get fried when the interview comes out.obviously i had a worrying interview.

and you know how people diss some artists for being interviewed,talking and responding without saying anything,so you want to be open but that makes it easier to screw up and

then hear about some big mouth comment that you may or may not regret.

so it is a minefield and all i want is to spread the word about the record.

you can see the interviews can stress you out.

anyhow

good evening.i'm 19 floors up.we had a road trip here from la.we stopped on the way.there's a town called baker w/ a restaurant called the mad greek.we stopped there for a bite.

it was windy and sandy.and a little remote.

not the most talented kitchen but i felt better for a little food.

we're recording some songs for an i-tunes thing. in the studio hereat the palms.

maybe a cover and some stuff from the record.

i think the song -'love remains the same 'has started on the radio-so it is truly out.if you're reading this,clearly you've heard the song on this page.but it's so fun at the start.no expectations and just the thrill of music coming out.

i got sick,so i wish i felt better but maybe some food and some rest.

is that possible in vegas.

well food,yes.

rest?

hard.

shine on
