    that's him. he left the band at some point.

    they were the first concert i ever saw and were actually very good live.

    also, if you're into cheesy movies, there's a flick called constantine with keanu reeves. it's kind of like the matrix, only instead of 'the one' he plays some demon hunter in a religious war. gavin rossdale is a demon in that movie. you can watch keanu reeves torture gavin rossdale onscreen, in a very surreal scene featuring two of the most unlikely and mediocre superstars of our time.

    hehe!!! :D yeah!!!

    i like constantine pulverizing the demon's face (gavin rossdale), literally.

    i also thought that their sixteen stone album was great.
    So did I. Glicerine was a great song....among a lot of others. I don;t know why that song stands out though.

    Gavin Rossdale I guess has gone solo. He has a new song out that I heard for the first time today. It's pretty good.

    I played 16 stone over and over and over in the nineties.

    I saw GR with Institute 3 years ago. What an hotster. Wew fan me! Then I met him. I have an ugly pic of me with a bored Gavin, lol! He is beautiful up close. I miss bush. I liked them.

    16 Stone and Razorblade Suitcase definitely take me back to Jr. High and the first couple years of high school. Those were the days. I actually dusted off those two CD's and put them on my iPod recently and they are still pretty solid.

    I mean, how can you not like "Glycerine"?

    I still like this song, probably the only one of the Bush songs that get played on the radio that I don't flip the station.

    I actually heard it this morning

    In Canada, they were called Bush X

    Yep, they were huge the spring of 95.

    I remember when high school graduation came in June my three best friends and I discussed getting a tattoo to commemorate the event. Well, they wanted to get the Chinese symbol for Zen because Bush was the hot band at the time and they loved Everything Zen. I said I'm not getting a tattoo of some random Chinese symbol that means nothing to me.

    So the three of them got the Zen tattoo and I backed out. I think I made the right decision. ;)

    I liked BUSH

    The band broke up when Nigel and Gavin decided to part ways

    Gavin is writing some love songs....thats what happens when you get married and have 2 kids

    It was called "The Uptown Girl" effect in the 80's and renamed the "Wid Arms Wide Opuh" effect in the 90's.

    these guys were undeniably the best at completely gibberish lyrics... they put dr seuess to shame.

    "mickey mouse has grown up a cow"

    what the fuck does that mean?
    and like that... he's gone.

    Wow this thread is a blast from the past....back to about 6th or 7th grade...

    16stone was the first CD I ever bought. I had some cassette albums (yes, PJ was in that group -- but I wanted something I didn't have), but for some reason it seemed like a huge deal to have saved up my money for a stereo and then to buy a CD for it.

    I liked that album and still like a few songs from it...Everything Zen, Comedown, Machine Head, Testosterone, Glycerine. I got Razorblade Suitcase when it came out, but was fairly disappointed with it. I still have both of those albums, but it's probably been 8 years or so since I've listened to either. After Razorblade, I stopped following them and stopped buying their albums...

    Actually, you can blame that particular lyric on Bowie.
    Smokey Robinson constantly looks like he's trying to act natural after being accused of farting.

    I always thought it could have been some kind of pun on Mickey Mouse becoming sacred or idolized or something like a cow in India. Perhaps I am giving the lads too much credit for the depth of their lyrics, though. :)

    Sixteen Stone is a pretty good album...after that it pretty much went downhill, IMO.
