Gavin Rossdale chats to I Like Music
ILM: You mentioned covers earlier. Last year you covered John Lennon's "Mind Games" for the album Instant Karma: The Amnesty International Campaign to Save Darfur. A brilliant cause and a brilliant version I thought… how did that come about?
GAVIN: They approached me and asked me to do it. And I did it and I was really honoured to do anything for Amnesty, I think they're the most incredible organisation. So it was brilliant to be able to help in some small way. I wouldn't mind doing that song live in that way.
When I do covers I keep the melody the same, so I don't try and change the music or the approach to the music because nothing can replace the original. So, with that, I did a mellow version; it's quite quick that version, so I couldn't do it any quicker, so I thought doing a really laid back chilled out version was the way to go.
ILM: Talking of chilling out… What's your favourite track you listen to when you just want to unwind and chill out?
