Bush is back, baby

[Lysander]

They have a new album releasing todayJuly 18th





I still prefer the more raw, in-your-face this band had mid-'90s, but this is good shit.

I'm even conflicted about 60 Ways to Forget People, because it's ingrained in my brain and yet one step away sounding like a Sleep Token track (which i hate ). But... it works. Gavin Rossdale has a knack for writing memorable choruses and hooks.

I like Bush.

 

[Zodiac]

Oh, you mean THAT Bush

[HomespunEffects]

I swear that I grew up on a different planet.

Man, that dude’s voice sounds exactly the same as it did 30 years ago.

I’ll check this album out at some point. The first time I ever felt like one of the cool kids was when a couple schoolmates started playing guitar because of “Glycerine” and “Machinehead” and since I had already been playing 2-3 years at that point and knew how to play a few of their tunes I got to be the ‘good guitar player at school’

Conversely, in the late 90’s when I was hardcore into Vai and Dream Theater and the other guitar players at school were into Korn and Deftones, they called me “virtuoso f@g”

For real.

Back in the day i sort off wrote off Bush as British Nirvana-wannabees, but revisiting their catalog, it's really solid. And we just don't get a whole lot of good rock bands these days

First cd's I owned were Bush, the Batman Returns soundtrack, and Weird Al

 

[Ed DeGenaro]

I was 12/13.

31…

 

[JiveTurkey]

31…

I was splitting that difference at 23. If it was 95

I was going to ask if it was Danny Elfman that did Batman Returns but then remembered that one is also a Burton film, of course Elfman did it. I had the Batman Forever soundtrack because I loved the shit out of U2's "Hold Me Thrill Me Kiss Me Kill Me" or whatever the title is. Still dig that song quite a bit, love the layered guitars and whammy pedal use throughout the whole thing.

I just had to look up that Flaming Lips song - never knew who it was back in the day - but that was the other one I remember vividly from that movie

Glycerine is the very first song I ever learned on guitar when I was 14


In 2006

Mine was Bush's cover of Wild Horses from Leno - think I got it off some fan site like: https://web.archive.org/web/20000830093654/http://bubblesofbush.virtualave.net/

I turned 21 when I was 14 in the late 80’s, and I am still 21 today.

If this doesn't give you chills, you should probably check that you have a pulse.
