Gavin Rossdale chats to I Like Music
Having said that music is in a brilliant place, live concerts are more interesting than ever, there are lots of interesting records coming out, so it's a really inspiring time. Music is what I've given my life to and I'm proud of that.
ILM: You're living your dream, career wise, what's your advice to young people on pursuing their dream career?
GAVIN: I think the most important thing that I found to be essential is to only listen to your self. You have to have a lot of faith in your own passion. For instance, with me, before Bush took off, when I was in Midnight, it'd always be slagged off and people would say my voice was the weakest part of the band. It's hard to be young and to be told that you're the reason why your band is going nowhere; some people like my voice and some people don't.
But, the weird thing is, it turned around so that my weakest element turned into being my strongest thing. And it was only from believing in it and from training it to get better and finding ways to use it to the best of my ability that got me to where I am now. If I'd stopped and listened to everyone around me then, I wouldn't be on the phone talking to you know. So it's about following your passion, it makes everything possible, whereas if you don't follow your passion, the opposite is true.
