Gavin Rossdale

Audio.

This song is called Glycerine, and Gavin Rossdale says it's meant as a metaphor for a volatile explosive relationship he was in, relating to how glycerine is used to stabilize nitroglycerine in explosives.

But it's also used as a lubricant in eye drops, lotions, and laxatives, which is what many listeners originally thought it was referring to.

Not nearly as romantic.

Don't let the days go by.

Glycerine.

This is crazy, but I could have sworn Gavin Rossdale had a soul patch in the 90s.

Seems like a patch kind of guy, doesn't he? He's got that patch vibe, soulful vibe.

This is for me.

You got to understand, babe, I've done a lot of episodes and you get to a place where you don't know the person that's coming on and you're like, okay, it's Gavin Rossdale, the lead singer of Bush and you make a joke and they don't laugh and you're like, all right, okay.

He doesn't

have a sense of humor?

Well, I also opened up, you know, remember Bush? Yes.

So Gavin Rossdale, very attractive man.

I

loved him when I was like in elementary school.

He had that same haircut.

Gavin Rossdale of Bush, same haircut.

There were several guys in the Tiger Beat, whatever.

That haircut in 96... lived everywhere.

We're on the Bush train right now.

We're trying to fucking, we're trying to take down Gavin Rossdale.

Like, literally, when y'all first started talking about it, because I wasn't on that many, I was like, George Bush? What are we doing? What's happening? No!

Why

No, really, I do.

But first, who would I inhabit? Gavin Rossdale.

I think he'd be interesting to be for an evening.

Which I could spend with his wife, Gwen Stefani.

Wow.

And it is... every bit a compliment to the the lyrics of gavin rossdale it is it's flourishy it's all it's flashy it's style it's effective but when you put a microscope to it it makes no sense like that's pretty much how it goes like i was a i like bush but i was a kid i didn't i was like yeah rock and then like if you like look at his lyrics it's like these two lines that I'll pick out of a hat, these two lines, like, and what's it all mean? It sounds pretty.

It sounds rocking.

It sounds this it's, it's like empty prophetic or empty, like, you know, philosophical stuff, but it blended together, makes a song for him.

But this one like starts out with like, you know, it's got the, the, the seven aesthetic, the green that everybody likes to say is, is always there.

Yeah.

And Gavin Rossdale's like, in a cone like a dog cone and straight jacket and they're like we got you you sick son of a bitch and all this stuff and there's a body wheeling out and then And then some guy throws up and then they like go to a car in the rain and he's leaning against their singing.

And then there's like, he's like got wings like an angel and there's like eggs and he hatches out of an egg and there's experiments.

And it got me thinking, because I saw a clip the other day of Gwen Stefani's ex.

Um, [tsking] Gavin Rossdale is his name.

And when they were married, they were everywhere.

They were all over the trade rags as, like, madly in love, and look at this relationship, and #goals.

What do you mean you can't...

I'm not blaming him solely, I'm blaming her, too.

Gwen Stefani and Gavin Rossdale.

Like, come on.
