Gavin Rossdale is the co-founder and frontman for the rock band Bush. The Art of Survival, Bush's ninth studio album, is out Oct. 7. Its first single, the politically minded "More Than Machines," has been a mainstay on the band's set on tour with Alice in Chains and Breaking Benjamin. About half the set is sourced from the 2020 album The Kingdom. The group's smash 1994 debut album, Sixteen Stone, which is certified six-times platinum in the U.S., is also well represented in recent concerts.

Gavin, who joined Behind the Setlist from somewhere in Michigan, talks about the financial difficulties of touring in 2022, playing the role of a "baby band" as the tour's opening act, addressing political and social issues in song lyrics, the joys of playing cover songs and the much more.
