Bushx. Due to an intellectual property dispute with another British rock band under the same name, Bush was forced to release their albums in Canada under the name “Bushx“. Despite the Nirvana and Kurt Cobain comparisons, for better or for worse, Gavin Rossdale and company went 6x Platinum with their debut album. The English band was told there were no singles on the record. A short time later, they lost their distribution deal with Hollywood Records.
‘You have to remember that every single thing we did on that record was against the backdrop of abject failure and a complete zero success.’ – Gavin Rossdale.
Interscope Records eventually picked up the distribution rights and would dispatch five hit singles to rock radio, “Glycerine,” “Everything Zen,” “Machinehead,” “Little Things,” and “Come Down.” By the time Bush wrapped up touring Sixteen Stone, it went on to sell over 10 million copies in the U.S. alone and more than 20 million worldwide.
To conclude the Triple X Album Series of 2024, 52 minutes and 38 seconds. In its entirety. In their own words. Gavin, Nigel, Dave, Robin, You.
Bush. Sixteen Stone. December 6th. 8pm.
