"Bush On Playing 'Science' Songs Live...And Gavin's Hair"
Written by Kara Manning
Sure, Bush has just released its first new album in three years, "The
Science
Of Things," sporting a new, experimental sound. Sure, the band is
preparing
to kick off a full U.S. tour next year.
Interesting points all... though what inquiring minds really want to
know is,
what's up with frontman Gavin Rossdale's red hairdo? Gavin, along with
guitarist Nigel Pulsford, recently spoke with MTV News about just that
(and a
little bit about music as well).
On the topic of his new coiffure, Rossdale joked, "The rest of me was
on
fire, so it seemed silly not to follow suit [with my hair]."
"We held him down and someone did it to him," Pulsford dished.
"The Science Of Things" hit stores on Tuesday, and Rossdale told MTV
News
that combining the post-grunge of Bush's 1994 debut "Sixteen Stone" and
the
electronic sounds from the new album actually makes for a more exciting
live
show.
"I like the way they all fit together," Rossdale began. "And they fit
together pretty good. Like, we didn't know how it would be, but it was
a good
surprise, seeing how they all fit together good."
He added, "And by the time we come out with a full show next year, and
we
start the end of the year in Europe, but next year here, it's just
going to
be a really wicked dynamic show, incorporating all those different
parts of
us." [RealVideo]
Bush will head back to its home country for a U.K. tour that kicks off
on
November 17 and is scheduled to run to the end of the month. Before the
band
departs, it will film a video for its next single, "Jesus Online," in
Los
Angeles with director Hype Williams (see "Bush Plans New Video As Album
Arrives").
