Gavin Rossdale chats to I Like Music
And if you can get yourself out of the way, meaning your insecurities, concerns or doubts, all of those things that are totally natural and probably part of it. But, all the best songs that I've ever written have been really quick and have involved giving up and giving in to the moment of writing, that's how I like to do it. Rather than involving self persecution, going back into it and really enjoying it. I've never had writers block though, which is nice.
ILM: It's probably because you have this raw process of writing, so you go with it rather than constantly self-editing.
GAVIN: It's funny because I listened back to the old catalogue, the old Bush stuff and Institute stuff and listening to songs, so it's really fun to go back and be like, oh that's a cool chord structure; other songs I might hear and think oh you bastard you never finished that lyric, so there are couple of songs that really annoy me, that were nearly right there but I don't know why I signed off on them.

Jun: ilikemusic because... music can convey a mood, enhance a mood or change a mood. Music can be used to inspire and the artform is simple yet complicated. It's fun to listen to and even more fun to create and perform. It speaks when just a simple word can't. It's a blessing!!
Sharleen Spiteri: ilikemusic because... it takes me to places that life can't
Peter Cincotti: ilikemusic because... Of what the world would be without it. It’d be a very scary place. I think we’d all be screwed.
Lady Sovereign: ilikemusic because... I do!
Robyn: ilikemusic because... It’s the way I want to express myself. It’s not a choice. It’s just always been there. It’s just what I do.
Chuck, Simple Plan: ilikemusic because... It was always a way to escape whatever problems I was going through; whatever trouble I had, I could just put on a record or a song and feel better right away and I hope that our music can have the same effect on our fans.
David Jordan: ilikemusic because... It makes me feel good and it puts me in a happy mood.
simon f baker: ilikemusic because... you can transcend the confines of the material world with it, it's probably better than shagging in fact. There is virtually nothing more satisfying than when a load of chords and words suddenly come together into a song ; suddenly everything in life seems to fit and make sense once more.
Kano: ilikemusic because... It brings people together. It makes people smile and dance, it makes people happy. I like the energy it gives off.
