Gavin, thank you for the lesson. Don’t sell yourself short. You created some of the most memorable music of the early nineties which millions know by heart.

Yeah man I'm 53 and still love listening to Bush songs. That's what led me to this video. Glycerine and Comedown are 2 of my all time fav songs in all of music!

Holy SHit! THis is Gold!. He recorded the whole album on that guitar!?! wow!

Sixteen Stone is a brilliant album. Even though it was right in the Grunge period, it really stood out as more of a rock album. Little Things, Machinehead....amazing. All of it. Thanks Gavin. Oh and I would venture to say that John 5 likes it, too!

Damon Briggs their debut album sold 6 million copies in America alone, and they have sold over 20 million worldwide, so somebody must like them. When their album first came out, I remember Dave Grohl said on MTV he thought Bush was the best of the bands who were obviously influenced by Nirvana.

My daughter's first concert was Bush a couple years ago. They played everything and they sounded great!

Bush's 16 Stone was AWESOME. Bought it on cassette back in the mid 90's! Rocked it until the tape broke!

Saw Bush last year and Gavin was nothing but gracious about everything, I've never seen another major bands lead singer that humble before.

These guys still have it live too. Saw them last year with Live.

If you haven't seen these guys live you owe it to yourself to do it. Great live band, super friendly guys that always deliver. Thanks Gavin and thanks Guitar World for this

Thank you Gavin for teaching this song. You are one of my idols. I love singing your guys songs when I was going to karaoke. Thanks again man. Much love and much appreciated.

Saw you 10 years ago at London Airport on your way to the southside festival in the south of Germany. Everybody of your band was so kind and friendly. I will never forget this. Thank you for your music and your lesson......👍🎸

Wow.. saw Bush live in 97 during their Razorblade Suitcase tour at Great Woods in Boston! I remember they opened the show with A Tendency to Start Fires... another awesome riff too...

America has Nirvana, Pearl Jam, Soundgarden and Alice and Chains, so on, but I'm so happy that we have a great grunge band like Bush!

Dude that was so beautiful, i wish every artist will teach us how to play their songs. Gavin so kind and down to earth man

Thanks Gavin! Thanks for Bush, thanks for everything you and Nigel put out together! Love from Brazil. Everything Zen is a killer song and no one besides the pumpkins and pearl jam managed to write such heavy and beautiful music in a two guitar piece at that time.

Nigel Pulsford, Robin Goodridge and Dave Parsons were the original Bush lineup along with Gavin. They all made Sixteen Stone sound like the Best grunge and rock álbum of its time. I Wont forget when in 1997 I was 15 and thought the whole World was spinning around Nirvana, Pearl Jam and Soundgarden but me and my pals discovered a New reléased álbum, Razorblade Suitcase and were blown away by it, but our jaws dropped to the floor when we listened to songs like Little Things, Testosterone, Glycerine, etc. A genuine masterpiece. I Will admire these guys until my memory remains. Sorry for the long comment but these blokes were my heroes.

tomtomthebear 👍🏿 That TONE in general. British amps, a beast all their. Lol it’s probably a goddamn fender tweed. Idk what it is, the rhythm guitar on Bush’s albums always had that very distinct tone, that to this day, is distinctively Bush. I’m gonna say Rossdale in particular. He’s had few different lineups, and I can’t say that I’ve ever really took note of who was playing when, other than 16 stone and the tour to support it. And then the lead guitarist for the Wallflowers sort of looked like Nigel and then for some reason (I’m gonna say it was the drugs and alcohol abuse) everything became convoluted.

I met Gavin Rosedale back in 1999 at the X-103.9 Alternative Rock radio station in San Bernardino, CA, with my then girlfriend Kelly Doyle. He had an interview about their newest record "The Science Of Thing's". And he also shared some of his favorite Steve Albini Produced records, from "The Jesus Lizard" to "The Pixies". I had my guitar with me outside the station, and when done, Gavin, actually walked outside to the front of the station by the parking lot, posed for pictures with eager fans and even signed my acoustic guitar with a permanent marker and he also pluck some strings, I'll never forget it!!!

Saw Bush in 2017 at Memphis in May and they came on right before Soundgarden and were awesome. Less than two weeks later Chris Cornell died in Detroit. That was the third time i saw Bush but the first time i saw Soundgarden and I'm glad i did! Glad to see Bush still rocking in 2020. Long live Rock🤘

Gavin is the first musician I ever met , it was my junior year of high school if I remember correctly ..it was right after their first album came out during their first American tour ..met him out back of Newport Music Hall in Columbus Ohio ..he was very friendly and they put on an awesome show ..still have my autographed stub from the show

Awesome, love Bush and Gavin.

I feel pushed Back in time. Thank you! Always enjoied early Bush material

I started playing guitar when I was a teenager and I used used to jam along to this album all the time!

Thanks very much for putting this out there. Your music is not John-5's ha ha! but it's music that works is that works for me (and like a million other people). So thanks heaps for putting the it out there. Music is eternal and therefore Bush's songs will be.

I've been literally trying to play this song properly for over 2 decades thank you for the lesson grew up on sixteen stone amazing album

Awesome sound. Great Guitar. Great band, great song.

saw you guys in chicago last year, it was awesome, bush fan since 1996 keep on rockin , lookin forward to new music, and more concerts ( one day again )

I’ve touched that guitar...❤️😎 miss you guys

I still listen to this album at least once or twice a week while riding my Harley thru Vegas and Red Rock. One of the best Rock albums of all time. Great feel, balsy release of energy, great lyrics with homage to Bowie. I just quit drinking in March during the pandemic, was near fucking death, and "Comedown" has special meaning now and I associate that with my recovery. Wish you would make more great music like the songs on this album.

You have a masterful use of language in combination with musicality. I have been an admirer of your work from the early days. I think my favorite combination of poetry, music and Video has to be Comedown. The way you use the camera and movement to enhance the song is very inspired. (I too am a great admirer of Bob Dylan. I was born in 1965, how can you not be a fan of Bob ?!!! It’s the poetry....) 😜Thanks for the video !
