Gavin Rossdale chats to I Like Music
GAVIN: My ultimate chill out tune would be Moments In Love by Art Of Noise, that brings back a whole world of memories; a whole flood of really good times. I could have that tune on a loop for a whole day straight.
ILM: You played semi-professional football until side-lined by an injury, and formed a band called Midnight (formerly Little Dukes) before Bush and Institute. How has the music industry changed for the better and worse since you first started out?
GAVIN: Well clearly, it sounds ancient to say, but, although I think that the file sharing is brilliant for rarities and odd pieces, I like people to actually buy the records, because us musicians work hard to make them and want people to enjoy them and we want people keep making them. I think tons of stuff should be free, but also people should respect, when you bring out a record, it's nice to go and buy it if you like the band because it helps everyone.
It also helps new bands come through. It's all well and good saying it's a modern world and that files should be shared. But for people who want to put money into new bands, it's difficult to do that if nobody is buying any records. It makes it difficult for me and I've sold a couple of records, so I can't imagine what it's like to be struggling and trying to break into the industry.
