Any thoughts on the new Gavin Rossdale CD? I've just heard a brief preview of all the songs from Wanderlust and they kind of appealed to me...picked up the cd...didn't know of his history...frontman for Bush and then a band called Institute....been around longer than I thought and was compared/looked down upon negatively by critics for stealing/borrowing the Kurt Cobain/Nirvana sound.
Some interesting wiki info-he's a busy guy:
After Bush
Rossdale sang a song titled "Adrenaline" written by Tina who he thanked for submitting the lyrics for the soundtrack of the movie xXx, which is featured during the end credits. The song was also the official theme song for WWE's Unforgiven pay-per-view event in September 2002.
He also guest appeared for Blue Man Group's "The Current" and is featured in its video. The song was used in the ending credits of Terminator 3: Rise of the Machines.
In 2004, after Bush had been on hiatus for two years, Rossdale formed Institute. Their first album, Distort Yourself, released September 13, 2005 achieved moderate success and the single "Bullet-proof skin" was used in the motion picture Stealth. In an interview published in November 2008, Rossdale noted that the Institute record was, "for all intents and purposes, a solo record. It was just a bad marketing decision to call it something else".[6] Institute broke up in 2006, after just one album.
Rossdale in August 2005.
In 2005, Rossdale appeared in the motion picture Constantine (2005) playing the villain Balthazar. Rossdale has also appeared in the films Zoolander (2001), The Mayor of Sunset Strip (2003), Little Black Book (2004), and The Game of Their Lives (2005). He also co-starred in the heist film How to Rob a Bank alongside Nick Stahl and Erika Christensen.
In 2007, Rossdale announced on his website that he was working on new music for a solo album. He wrote that he was very happy with the sound of the album, citing he went back to his roots with Bush. Rossdale's single, "Can't Stop the World," is the introduction theme to Fox's programme, Drive.
In 2007, he covered John Lennon's "Mind Games" for the album Instant Karma: The Amnesty International Campaign to Save Darfur. Later that year, Gavin finished recording his first solo record titled WANDERlust, to be released 3 June 2008. Gwen Stefani, Rossdale's wife, sings background vocals on the track "Can't Stop The World."[7] He also made a guest appearance on the DT8 Project album Perfect World, taking lead vocals and co-writing the track Falling.
